“Han and Patrick were great! My dog is nervous around new people but it was clear that they made him feel at home. They sent lots of pictures and were so prompt with pickup and drop off - always waiting right outside when I arrived! Han was so accommodating with last minute changes to the schedule that I had as well. Dash was well taken care of and we will rebook again!”
“Andrew kept my boy, Jackson, all day while I went to work and then attended a play in the evening. Unfortunately, I found that the play was going to run longer than I had anticipated - so I sent Andrew a message at intermission to let him know that I would be about a half hour later than our scheduled time for me to pick up Jackson. He was very accommodating and I was very appreciative of his flexibility when something unexpected popped up. Thank you, Andrew!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Golden Retrievers. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m also a proud doodle owner, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure both you and your dog have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a sweet, friendly Sheepadoodle who loves meeting new friends! She is gentle, well-socialized, and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. If your pup enjoys having a companion to play or relax with, they’ll have a wonderful buddy during their stay. Of course, I always supervise interactions to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. Before your booking, you can share your dog’s routine and preferences so I can provide the best possible care. I only accept one guest dog at a time for weekend boarding, allowing me to give your pup my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. Since I work from home on Mondays, you’re welcome to pick up your dog on Monday if that’s more convenient. I also work from home two days a week, which allows me to offer doggy daycare on those days. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and fresh air during their stay. My apartment community has a fenced dog park, and there are beautiful walking trails nearby for regular walks and outdoor adventures. I also have a private balcony where dogs can relax with me and enjoy some fresh air while always being safely supervised. My goal is to provide a fun, safe, and comfortable environment where your pup feels right at home.
“Grateful for Cathy for being so flexible and helping to take care of my crazy Ranger! She is very sweet, showed concern, and I appreciate the insights and observations she made throughout his stay.”
“Jason&becky is a very considerable dog sitter. Milo had one-day with Jason who shared updates / photos every other hours. Milo played well with their two pups, we are very happy for Jason&becky ‘s service today!”
“Devora has been a fantastic sitter for us while we work a few days each week in the office. She sends lots of updates and is clearly very knowledgeable about dogs. She also truly seems to be such a dog lover and we’ve felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We will certainly be using her again!”
“Did an awesome job with my young energetic puppy! And was very communicative about timing with pickup due to some family responsibilities. I really appreciated her communication and updates”
“Bethany was kind enough to respond and accommodate our last minute request for day boarding. Our pup seemed to have great time at her place. She was always available and responsive over the phone, sent us pictures as well. We would definitely board again when we are in this area.”
“Mia enjoyed her time with Katerine and Brian as always and particularly had fun playing with another dog was there for her visit. It's great that Mia gets to spend time with other dogs at Katerine's since Mia is an only-dog at home.”
About: I currently work from home doing some freelance marketing and graphic design. I have extra time on my hands and can make most hours work. I am also able to provide hikes/longer walks as well as longer care terms as well as evening walks. I currently work from home doing some freelance marketing and graphic design. I have extra time on my hands and can make most hours work. I don’t work past 6, but anytime beforehand I can usually accommodate a visit. I have 2 great cats, they’re sweet boys and don’t really cause much for concern. They're non reactive to dogs and are familiar with them.
“We are beyond thrilled with the exceptional care our dog received from Sang and Hee Suk! From the moment we dropped our pup off we knew she was in Good hands. Our dachshund isn’t the easiest dog, she struggles with separation anxiety and confidence. Lucky for us, Sang and Hee Suk raised a dachshund for many years and so they were SUPER understanding and patient with our dogs needs. Communication was great— both before and during our dogs visit. We never once worried about her during our time away, knowing she was in such loving hands. Our pup came home happy, healthy, and calm, which is the best sign of a great experience. She is now currently passed out snoring next to me as I write this review lol. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, caring, and truly understands dogs, we highly recommend Sang and Hee Suk! We are so grateful to have found them :)”
About: I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them! We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice I live in an apartment with ample walking nearby. Super dog friendly neighborhood. We have space to set up crates if needed. I am a neat person and will clean up after myself and the dogs.
“When faced with a sudden family emergency, I reached out to Helena & Nathan trying to find a place for my boy, Jackson, for the day. H&N responded within minutes and we were able to work out day care for the day. I can't tell you how grateful I felt knowing that Jackson would be well cared for while I attended to my own family's needs. H&N kept me posted with plenty of photos throughout the day - and those photos really lifted my spirits when we ended up having to put a beloved family cat to sleep. I really can't thank them enough for the support and care they provided...to both me and Jackson. Rest in Peace, Mr. Kitty. You were my father's best friend and brought love and laughter into all of our lives. We'll miss you.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dunn Loring
Patrick took great care of Lily, and I always feel comfortable knowing she's in good hands while I'm at work. He is someone I trust, and it's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. Lily absolutely loves coming to his house, and from the photos he shares, she always looks relaxed, happy, and comfortable. It's reassuring to know she's being well cared for and enjoying herself throughout the day. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter or daycare provider!
We had a wonderful experience with Andrew! Shiloh looked so happy and clearly had such a great time playing with the other dogs. We really appreciated the large yard and the care and attention given throughout the day. Communication was great, and it was comforting knowing he was in good hands. Thank you again for taking such great care of our sweet boy — we would absolutely book again! 🐾
We were glad to find Jason and Becky on Rover.com. They were engaged with us throughout the reservation process and as our scheduled changed. They made our Goldie feel welcome and provided her with canine and human companionship for the day, sharing photos of Goldie's day. We highly recommend them.
Millie enjoyed her first Rover.com experience with Mario who calmly coped with her initial separation anxiety and a couple of carpet mishaps. He kept us informed during the sit, including photos, and we felt comfortable leaving Millie with him. We're all looking forward to a return visit.
Winnie is a professional dog sitter who did an amazing job with Lily. She kept us updated regularly on how our dog was doing, including details like walks, bathroom breaks, and overall behavior, which we really appreciated. She followed all the instructions we left and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that Lily was well cared for and in great hands. Honestly, she’s the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the near future!
Yasmine is the best! I had taken my dog to an indoor doggie daycare, and it very clearly overwhelmed him. I needed to find an alternative quickly, which is how I found Yasmine. From the start, she answered all my questions - even the ones I didn’t know I had - and immediately made me feel at ease about leaving my dog in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and is very attuned to their needs. Murphy absolutely loves going to Yasmine’s, and I feel so happy knowing he’s in good hands and actually enjoying his day while I’m at work.
Grace was absolutely great with Poppy. She provided us great updates of the day with lots of pictures, which we truly appreciated. She truly cared about Poppy's comfort at her home and followed the care instructions we provided. I have already booked our next session with her. Thank you for taking great care of Poppy, Grace!!
Thank you so much, as always, for taking such great care of Lupin. We really appreciate you accepting on short notice. We are especially grateful for how kind Maryam and her husband are with him. He came home happy, relaxed and full of energy, which says everything. Thank you again for your care and reliability!
I just wanted to thank Sara for taking such great care of Bella. She has been doing wonderful, and it’s clear she always feels happy and comfortable staying with you. We truly appreciate your support and the attention you give her. We will definitely continue using your daycare services in the future.
It's clear that Lei provided excellent care to London during her stay today. Lei checked in with us to let us know how London was doing, and shared lots of great info and stories when we picked London up, which was really nice to hear. Also seeing all the cute photos taken of London! We hope to use Lei again soon next time London needs doggy daycare. Thank you Lei!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Dunn Loring
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dunn Loring on Rover is $32.19 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Dunn Loring 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 5,177 sitters in Dunn Loring, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
