“They took the best care of my pup Georgia!! She played all day long which was apparent in how tired she was when we got home. Jessica has a great house and backyard for the pups. Your due child will be in good hands!”
“Lyra and Scott were great. We felt very at ease with Winston in their care on such late notice. Their communication before and during the stay was great and we really appreciated the photos. We highly recommend them and would definitely rebook them in the future.”
“Absolutely perfect first experience with rover. Maggie sets the bar high with a welcoming home environment. She know exactly what she is doing - let the dogs meet freely, run freely and he felt right at home. I was so nervous but knew right away he would be fine. She sent pics throughout the day for reassurance and to let me see my buddy. Thanks so much!”
“Cheyanne kept my Scooby for the holidays and not once ever made me feel like he wasn’t in good hands. She cared for our boy and kept us up to date on everything. So grateful for her services and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Christene took great care of Louie! She let him have a few minutes to sniff around and get his bearings before meeting Buster Moon, which was great. I also got some cute pictures of Louie having a great time while he was there, which put my mind at ease. He came home happy and tired! I would definitely leave Louie with her again!”
“Sam did a wonderful job taking care of Skye!!! We know it isn’t easy but she did it and he is very relaxed when we picked him up which doesn’t always happen..thank you and we’ll see you soon!!”
About: Hello! I have been around dogs, and owned them, my entire life. Whether your pup is big or small, young or old, I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have two friendly mixed breed female dogs who get along well with both dogs and cats. We love going on walks, taking car rides, and spending quality time with our four legged friends. I offer a variety of services, including feedings, medication administration, doggy daycare, drop in visits, walks, and more. I am flexible, dependable, and easy to work with, and I am always happy to accommodate special requests whenever possible. I do have three children, so I ask that any pets staying in my home are comfortable around kids. My children have been raised around animals and understand how to respectfully approach and interact with pets that are not our own. Over the years, I have provided pet and house sitting services for many families, and I have several references who would be happy to speak about my reliability, trustworthiness, and the quality of care I provide. I understand that your pets are part of your family, and I will care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your canine companion(s)! As a teacher, I am home for the summer, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Your pup will rarely be left alone, and if I do have any planned outings during their stay, I will always let you know in advance so you can feel completely comfortable. I also keep an extra kennel available for dogs who prefer having a quiet space of their own to relax, nap, or unwind. Whether your dog enjoys being part of the action or appreciates a little personal space, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment where they can feel right at home. I do not have a fenced in yard but we live on 5 acres with plenty of space to run around and exercise if your companion is staying at my home.
“Lisa was extremely patient and sweet with my challenging pup! She is so dedicated to helping nervous dogs with separation anxiety do their best. Very grateful for her dedication and highly recommend!”
About: I have a few dogs at my house already but I've also been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at rescues. My family also has many pets and farm animals I help take care of these include fish, hamsters, and budgies. I'm currently in college right now studying life science but I have plenty of free time. During that time I'd like to take care of animals. I like to take care of your pets however you like them taken care of. I'll wake up early for morning walks or stay up late to clean up after them.
“Ethel was great with our challenging Jack Russell. He is very anxious about being separated from his family but Ethel made him feel right at home. She made everything easier for all of us!”
About: I have taken care of family pets for as long as I can remember. I was raised surrounded with dogs and cats alike, I come from a huge animal loving family. I have experience in senior animal care as well as puppies. I have most experience with fur babies 50 pds and under. I am a stay at home mom with two under 5 years old. I am available throughout the day to care for your loved fur babies. I have a big fenced in yard perfect for fetch or running around! I have a playful and very nice dog at home, brandy, that I can keep away from any visitors no problem if that will make you more comfortable. I also have two cats, frodo and cali, who will be kept seperate while caring for your pet.
“Sandra was fantastic! We needed to leave our dog Samwise with somebody during an appointment because he gets separation anxiety in new places and she was flexible and very communicative.”
About: Hi! I’m Andrea, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, starting when I was 11 years old. My experience started with my aunt’s two Shih Tzus, whom I helped care for from puppyhood until they passed away from old age. Since then, dogs have always been a big part of my life. I currently have three dogs back in my home country and a mini Labradoodle named Ember here in the US. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including giving oral medications and supporting daily routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, and basic training. I enjoy teaching simple commands because it helps build trust and confidence between dogs and their environment. I treat every dog with patients, care, and respect as part of my own family. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to be present and attentive to pets throughout the day. I am able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, and supervised playtime based on each dog’s needs. I am generally home for most of the day, and my schedule allows me to check on pets frequently and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide care in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly apartment designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. I only accept one client or one family at a time to ensure a low-stress environment and close supervision. All pets are introduced slowly and carefully, and interactions with my dog Ember are always supervised. If needed, pets can be separated to ensure they feel comfortable and secure at all times. Because my home has carpeted flooring, I only accept dogs that are reliably house-trained. This helps maintain a clean and comfortable space for all pets in my care. The environment in structured to allow dogs to rest, relax, and adjust comfortably while still having a safe and supervised space throughout their stay.
“Megan is the best sitter ever! She made me feel so comfortable through the entire process. She sent amazing update photos and gave a cute doggy report card at the end of the day. I’m so happy with the experience and will definitely book her again ASAP”
“2nd visit 🎉 Same as my 1st time. Kash had more fun and more laughs . He literally did a cute cry when she went back in the house 🥹. Shawna is awesome 👏 definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“What an outstanding experience. Elisabeth is so knowledgeable, gracious, thoughtful, dedicated, detail oriented, professional and communicative. I could go on and on. Those who are lucky enough to be able to have her for their pet caregiver are among the luckiest people in the world.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 292 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dendron. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dendron commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 292 sitters in Dendron, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
