“Our Australian Shepard had a wonderful time with Yulia and Tomas for doggie day care! We could not have been more happy with their kindness, communication, care, and activity level for our dog. They were incredibly prepared and it was clear they offer professional-level services in caring for pets. They knew exactly how to make our dog feel at home and comfortable all day, and in transitioning our dog back to us at the end of the visit. We are so grateful to them for their excellent care!”

About: I have been caring for animals since 2018 and have experience working at multiple dog boarding facilities. At one facility, I worked for over six years, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, supervising playtime, and ensuring dogs feel safe and comfortable in a structured environment. I also have personal experience caring for senior dogs, which has helped me develop patience and attentiveness to animals with special needs. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets, and I understand the importance of providing gentle, calm care for small animals. My schedule is flexible, and I am currently available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and small animal care throughout the week. I am available during weekdays and have limited availability on weekends. I do my best to accommodate each client’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I keep my schedule organized to ensure every animal receives the time and attention they deserve. The safety and well-being of every animal in my care is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and needs to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a calm, quiet environment and always supervise animals closely during my care. I am attentive to details such as feeding instructions, medications (if needed), and safe handling. I also make sure pets are kept in a clean, secure space and follow any specific instructions provided by their owner. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.
“I had a great experience! Kaylyn and Naman accommodated my last minute booking and took great care of my dogs. I’ll definitely be booking with them in the future!”

About: Greetings pet lovers! I have much experience with cats and dogs, and have 1 dog myself. I grew up with 2 cats at first, and found myself adding more cats to the family that were found as strays. I've taken care of 6 cats in all when I was younger, and grew up with 2 dogs as I got older. I also have fostered dogs in the past. As a dog owner who raised his furbaby since he was a puppy, I am accustomed to dog training, walking dogs on a regular basis, positive reinforcement, feeding, bathing, and administering medicine that is needed. If your dog just needs a lot of exercise under my care, I'm the guy for you! I enjoy jogging with dogs if they can keep a solid pace. I will walk your dog as needed depending on their energy level. I also frequent various dog parks for my dog to enjoy, and your dog is welcome for the fun! I am very patient and determined to get your pet to feel absolutely comfortable and happy in my care! I am available 24/7 for your pet needs. I currently work from home and have setup a cozy space for your pet if needed to board. 3-4 walks + daily dog park (if permissible by owner) is what you should expect for hosting your dog. I have a dog park and a pet bathing room at my complex and 1 super friendly dog who will keep your pet company! My dog is good with other dogs and cats! He actually likes playing with cats too! I offer a safe, comfortable environment for your pet.
About: I provide thoughtful, home-based care for dogs who thrive in a calm and structured environment. As a work-from-home sitter, I’m able to give consistent attention, supervision, and a steady routine throughout the day. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety. What sets me apart is that I keep things intentionally small and controlled. I take the time to understand each dog’s needs, and prioritize a low-stress experience with plenty of outdoor time, gentle structure, and a secure fenced yard. I also require a meet-and-greet to ensure the right fit, so every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after.I keep my care intentionally small so each dog gets consistent attention and a calm environment. Doggy care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am able to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day.Dogs in my care are part of a calm, structured routine that includes regular outdoor time in my fenced yard, walks on nearby trails ( My fenced backyard opens directly to walking trails for easy access to outdoor time and walks) along with plenty of time to rest and relax indoors. I build my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure they get a good balance of activity, attention, and downtime. On a weekly basis, I keep things predictable and low-stress, which helps dogs settle in comfortably. I’m mindful about not overbooking, so each dog receives the time and attention they need without feeling overwhelmed. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, their care and routine remain consistent so they feel safe and at ease... When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow each dog’s feeding schedule, potty routine, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Dogs have regular access to my fenced yard for bathroom breaks and outdoor time, along with walks on nearby trails depending on their energy level. Inside the home, dogs are given a calm space to relax and are never left unsupervised for long periods since I work from home. I introduce dogs thoughtfully and only take on a small number at a time to maintain a safe and low-stress environment. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall comfort, and I communicate with owners if anything seems off. My goal is to make their stay feel predictable, safe, and as close to their home routine as possible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dranesville
LaurieBeth did such a wonderful job with my pup, Mocha! I dropped off Mocha for doggy day care for the first time and I so appreciated the photo updates to see how she was doing. LaurieBeth was very communicative and Mocha enjoyed her stay. We already can't wait for the next visit!
Lauren was great and communicative before actually meeting. This made drop-off easy, and she took great care of our little Moose with updates and pictures. Lauren was willing to drop off our dog at the end of the day, which helped since we had quite a busy day. I would definitely rebook with Lauren again in the future!
Burrata stayed with Jessica today while my husband and I ran a race a couple hours away. She had such a great time! Jessica kept us updated with lots of pictures and Burrata got walks and treats and had fun! Jessica was wonderful and watched Burrata’s cues to go potty and she had no accidents which I really appreciate since she’s 5 months and still learning. I highly recommend Jessica and will definitely be using her in the future!
Michele was great. Very responsive. Made me feel comfortable leaving my dog son with her. I think he enjoyed it as well because when we left, he paused at the car as if he wanted to go back with her. I definitely look to booking her again real soon. She really seems to care for him just like I do.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dranesville on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Dranesville 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.

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.
