About: I will treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with dogs most of my life and recently lost a dog-son to a cancer 2 years ago. I do prefer non-shedding dogs due to allergies which allows me to provide a clean and comfortable environment for both your pet and my family. As a stay-at-home mom to a two-year-old, I’m home throughout the day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and affection. Your dog will be treated like part of our family and loved as if they were my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to give pets lots of time and attention. Walks, playtime, feeding, and rest are all built into our day. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog will rarely be left alone and will be treated like part of our daily family life. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. Since I’m home throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention and supervision. I prefer caring for non-shedding dogs due to allergies, which helps maintain a healthy space for everyone.
“We had a great experience with LaurieBeth, and our pup Max loved her. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and we felt confident leaving him in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to make sure Max was comfortable and well cared for. Most importantly, Max seemed really happy and relaxed when we picked him up, which says a lot. It’s obvious he enjoyed his time there. We didn’t have any issues at all and would absolutely trust her to watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Vivian was wonderful with our dog! She sent updates and pics throughout the day. She followed our instructions. She also accommodated her with some steps to get onto the couch and made a nice perch for her to look out the window. Thanks again Vivian!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for many years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, walks, playtime, and basic grooming. I’m patient, attentive, and always follow each pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand every pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra reassurance. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available on weekends and weekdays after the afternoon, which allows me to provide attentive care, regular check-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets are treated like family. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions and make sure pets are never left unattended for long periods. I’m attentive to body language and comfort levels, and I communicate clearly with pet parents to ensure their pets feel safe and secure at all times.

“I recently had Judy care for my French Bulldog, Betsy, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! She was professional and attentive. And kept me updated with photos and messages. I could tell that Betsy had an amazing time during her stay. I highly recommend Judy’s services for anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Erica was able to provide last minute doggie daycare for Scout without any issues. She was flexible, responsive, and clearly has a heart for caring for dogs. I had to adjust timings and our schedule with changes at work, and she was extremely accommodating and flexible. Would highly recommend her to look after your furry friend!
Deeksha was very sweet and patient with Kai. My dog is very shy, but he quickly felt comfortable around her. She also sent me many pictures of Kai as updates, which I really appreciated. Another thing I truly value about her is that she is punctual and always on time. My schedule is usually very busy, so I don’t have much time to waste. She even waited outside for me during pickups, which was incredibly helpful. I 1000% recommend her!
Alisha always does such a great job with Pete! I get a ton of pictures and he’s always so excited to see her. She’s always on time even for super early or super late drop off/pick ups which is hard to find. She’s accommodating to my schedule changes and is even willing to pick Pete up from my house! Overall have enjoyed brining Pete to Alisha’s and will continue to do so!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Dulles
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 5,031 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dulles. 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 Dulles 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 5,031 sitters in Dulles, 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.
