“I just want to say Virginia (Joyce) and Pete were truly amazing and godsend. I had a sitter but she fell through twice which left me in a predicament and since I had to be at work. But finding them is amazing and I don’t have to worry about him. It’s like sending your kid off to daycare or school for the and I was extremely nervous however they have made this experience amazing and I will definitely highly recommend them.”
“My dog, Aspen, had a great day with Michelle and doggy friends. I rarely leave Aspen with sitters but she was so happy when I picked her up and napped the entire way home. Michelle was great about sending updates throughout the day. We’ll be going back!”
“Tamara was amazing with watching my two dogs. She fully accommodated a last-minute request. She sent updates and photographs throughout their stay with her. I will definitely reach out to her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“My Remy loved being with David! Great communication, easy location, pics during his stay, and a cute video of him enjoying himself outside. We’ll definitely be using David in the near future!”
“Henry was great with Tucker! We needed a last minute sit and he was happy to accommodate. Life saver! He made sure that Tucker was comfortable and cared for. He kept us updated throughout the day - pictures and all - and was flexible on pickup time. I’m very happy to have found Henry for a day of daycare play.”
“My 4 lb. 4 mo. old puppy obviously had a nice time at Veronica's because she gets very excited and wags her tail alot when we arrive. But she's also happy to see me when I pick her up, so it's a perfect balance!”
“First time Rover user, and Erin was fantastic! She’s very communicative, honest, and friendly. Much better experience than the kennel. Highly recommended!! Thanks again, Erin!!”
“Joy and her family were so kind and accommodating for my last minute trip! Thank you Joy, and the fam, for your hospitality and generosity during Molly’s stay, she had a wonderful time! I am forever grateful you took great care of my fur baby.”
“Christy is everything you would want your Rover host to be. Logistically she checked all the boxes living not too far from major highway I took to my office. Easy to drop off/pick up and get back on the highway again. She responded quickly when I made an inquiry about a weekly daycare hosting for my shy miniature poodle. She demonstrated kindness and patience when our Meet and Greet began later than scheduled. During his stay, Christy texted pictures of Blinky going on a long walk or playing in the backyard. Lovely family took very good care of him. On the second day, I dropped Blinky off, he rushed through the front door without looking back. To me that said a lot because Blinky was not a social butterfly by any stretch of imagination. I can whole heartily give Christy five stars, just for that alone!”
“We dropped our dog off at Rosario and Juan’s for the day, and our dog had a great time! Rosario was excellent at keeping us updated. By the time we came to pick her up, she barely wanted to leave!”
“Kristi-Ann, Andrew and their pup Loki were so welcoming of my crazy mutt! They took him in like one of their own and have a great dog-friendly setup. Thanks for having him on a hot day—he had way more fun than staying at home!”
About: I have had dogs of my own for over 10 years now. I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and temperaments for friends and neighbors from a few days to more than 2 weeks at a time. I would walk, feed and brush their pets, I am particularly good at giving belly rubs, ask my lab mix and she will confirm. Please note: I do not provide refund for early pickup. I am a stay at home parent so your pet will have me and my kids' company most of the day. We have a good size fenced in backyard so your pet will get plenty of fresh air and exercise. The drop off and pick up time will be discussed in advance, but typically drop off is after 8am and pick up is before 8pm. I do not provide refund for early pickup. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I am a stay at home parent so I will be there with the pet, if there is an emergency with your pet I will be there to act quickly. I will send you daily updates and photos so you know your dog are having fun with us.
“Rachel excelled in clear communication and made my beagle feel happy at her home. (I knew he loved her when he got super excited to go there the 2nd time I brought him back- he’s normally a nervous dog so this was reassuring!) She is very sweet and accommodated my last minute request. Most importantly, she is very considerate of the dogs she is watching and I appreciated her careful attention to my dog to ensure he was comfortable.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs (my sweet little bichon-mini poodle, a german shepherd and more recently a funny little Boston terrier that I am auntie to) and have cared for family and friends’ dogs throughout the years. I love taking dogs out for walks and playtimes in the park. I’m well versed in keeping fur babies to a set feeding and walking schedule. I currently work full time with a hybrid work-from-home schedule that allows me to take leisurely walks around the neighborhood each day! Would love to schedule my breaks to take your furry companions for walks and playtimes throughout the day! I’m open and honest in communication and I think that plays a vital role when coordinating walks and playtimes. I stick to given instructions and do everything I can to keep to a schedule.
“This was my first experience with Rover, and I chose to book with Heather due to her exceptional 5-star ratings. Now, I'm thrilled to contribute another 5-star review myself. My dog was quite anxious during drop-off, being away for the first time, but Heather's continuous updates and photos of Joy throughout the day were incredibly reassuring. Witnessing my dog's evident happiness upon pick-up affirmed that she had been expertly cared for. Without a doubt, I'll be rebooking with Heather in the future.”
“Cindy has been so kind and welcoming since the first time we met her. She takes great care of our Lab, Wesley, and we know he will always have a great day with her and Bella. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for being responsive and reliable!”
About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life - dogs, cats, hamsters, fish… and some at the same time. I understand that your pet is a member of your family and they will be treated as such with me. I also know that pet care is not just playtime, they require care, constant attention, to follow what you have set for them in terms of schedule and routine, reinforced love… and of course playtime and cuddles! Your pet will be safe with me and I hope to be an extension of your family’s pet care team. I am available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. I work full time from home so your pet will have my constant attention and time to ensure safety, care, and FUN! I do not currently have any pets in the home. Another driving reason for wishing you’ll share your furbaby with me - I definitely miss the companionship, company, and fun a pet brings to the home and my day.
“Rebecca took care of my two fur babies, Melo and Lola for 10 days while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures and videos on a daily basis. Couldn’t ask for better care.”
“My pup Lucy loved her time with Michelle! Michelle has great communication and was flexible about drop off and pick up times. Very easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Guojin was very responsive to any questions or concerns that I had about Nimbus. Nimbus had just received his neutering and required a safe and calm environment to recover, and Guojin delivered just that. There were consistent pictures and videos sent throughout the day and great flexibility to schedule changes. I highly recommend and will be bringing Nimbus back time and time again.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Donovans Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,968 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Donovans Corner. 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 Donovans Corner 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 4,968 sitters in Donovans Corner, 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.
