“Loreen was really patient with Milo, who is a bit skittish around strangers. She took the time to get him acquainted with her house, yards and kids. She and the kids genuinely love Milo and she sent great pictures of his stay at her house. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Shayla is the absolute best! She is a true professional and so warm and awesome. We are incredibly grateful to have found her. We have 2 dogs (4 years & 10mos) who both adore her. Our puppy was incredibly shy but just a couple days with Shayla and she really came out of her shell. Shayla has such a natural gift for caring for animals and her house has an awesome yard and secure setup. We let her know about our concerns about our older dog being an escape artist and she walked us through the various measures in place to ensure his safety including she has even worked on threshold manners when him so he doesn’t walk through the door until he’s told it’s okay to. She also knows just how to manage my puppy’s anxiety and doesn’t see her anxiety as a hassle but is instead so empathetic and dedicated to building her confidence. She introduced our dogs to her dogs over time and in a way that didn’t stress my puppy out. She takes them on lots of walks and they come back from day care happy and tired!”
About: I provide loving and reliable pet care, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you are away. I work from home and I have a teen son who loves all types of animals and takes care of many neighbourhood pets from time to time. I have a fenced yard and will be able to crate, spend time with your pets and will be able to do whatever is needed to care for your pet/pets.
“Andrew is a first class dog professional. Flexible, reliable, and has a true knack with dogs. He helped us out on short notice and we could not be happier. You will be extremely happy that you chose Andrew. 5 stars—easy.”
“Rio loved spending the day with Jose Luis! I received regular text and picture updates, and Jose Luis was always quick to respond to messages. Definitely recommend!”
“Devora is so kind and accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Trusting your most precious pet with a stranger can be difficult but she was assuring, communicative, kept me updated and I really felt my senior dog with many needs felt comfortable and safe in her care. Many other dog care options have many dogs of mixed sizes and activity levels in large areas where they can play and be very active. But a small, more fragile dog really needs a particular place where they can be safe and comfortable, so Devora’s home really was a perfect fit for this niche that put my mind at ease and allowed my dog to have a stable space he could relax without anxiety at the times we weren’t able to take him along with us. I would absolutely recommend Devora for any pet care services she offers.”
“Yichen is a great sitter! We had a meet and greet before our first stay so that she could get to know my dog better. I think thanks to that, my dog’s stay went smoothly the next day. I appreciate her flexibility and friendliness, and I can tell my dog enjoys her stays at her place. Yichen has a playful shih tzu named Ube that my dog loves playing with. Overall, Yichen is a 10/10 sitter!”
“Jason and Becky are truly two of the most patient pet sitters I’ve ever worked with. Communication was always prompt and clear, and they took such great care of my two dogs—everything felt so easy and reassuring. They also sent me lots of photo updates, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely book with Jason again and 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!”
“Pickles LOVED her day spent with Katerine & Brian! We received updates and pictures of Pickles throughout her day! This is the first time Pickles has ever been left with anyone other than family or friends, and naturally we were nervous - but the updates truly helped us feel at ease! Thanks again, we would definitely reach out to Katerine for her service again, while in the DC area!”
“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.”
“My puppy had a great time with Abbey and her family! She went over there for daycare and will definitely be going back. She got to play with her pups and got all her energy out, she came home happy and pooped!”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with two dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I've cared for family members' dogs, including senior dogs with health conditions that required administering daily medications and providing extra patience and attention. I've also helped care for friends' young puppies, reinforcing potty training, maintaining routines, and giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm companion, or a little extra care due to age or medical needs, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Also I WORK FROM HOME, makes day caring for your little ones easier. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work from home!! This helps with me being able to give your little one all the care and attention they need, so you can have peace of mind. I have a pet friendly condo where there are plenty of dog spots to walk and play with your loved one. I can crate a schedule around what they’re used to.
“Sara was amazing with Blitz, and was available last minute to take care of him for the day. She sent pictures through out the day and was very responsive to texts. Next time I need a sitter I’ll definitely reach out to her. Blitz came back home happy and tired after a long play day”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on safety and comfort. I follow owners’ routines closely, watch for stre I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day.

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.
“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”
About: Over the past 20 years, I’ve had three dogs, a Pomeranian, an Akita, and a Yorkshire Terrier. Each one had a different personality, but they were all very attached to me. None of them went to a training school, but they were all well-behaved. I trained them myself before they turned one year old. I currently live in a clean, quiet, pet-free home. There are no pets living in the house at this time, so visiting dogs will not have to share the space with other animals or adjust to another pet’s presence or scent. I only accept small dogs up to 20 lbs and prefer low-shedding breeds. My home provides a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed during their stay. I’m home most of the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone. Big park around the house. Like walk and play with dog. Small dogs need lots of attention and one-on-one care, which is why I only host one dog at a time. I follow each owner’s feeding routine and do not give dogs any human food. Small dogs can have sensitive stomachs, so I believe consistency is important. My goal is to provide a quiet, comfortable, clean, and healthy environment where every dog can feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Cindy is the best. I have been leaving my dog in her care since two years and each time he comes back home so happy and I know she has taken care of him like second mom. She send me pictures everyday and always greets me with a broad warm smile! Highly recommend her !”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dunn Loring
Katie has been absolutely wonderful with Toby! We’ve used her for doggy daycare twice now, and each experience has been great. She’s responsible, attentive, makes sure he gets his walks, and I always feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. The best part is that Toby is consistently happy, relaxed, and calm when I pick him up—which tells me he feels safe and comfortable with her, too. 🐾🤎 It’s such a relief finding someone you can genuinely trust with your fur baby. We love working with Katie and will absolutely continue booking with her. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy to love on your pup while you’re away, I highly recommend her!

After 4 years with another doggie care (who moved out of the area, hence the switch), I was very anxious about my dog’s adjustment to a new place. Shizuka went out of her way to ease my anxiety, and with her kindness & gentle demeanor, all my concerns melted away. Lots of photos & videos, and my dog really looked liked she enjoyed herself (particularly the backyard, which she doesn’t get to have at our condo). Definitely recommend. Already rebooked!
We had an amazing experience with Chenqin. She was so kind and patient with our anxious dog, which instantly helped her feel more comfortable. Communication was excellent—she gave us frequent updates with photos so we always knew how she was doing. We truly felt at ease the entire time and will definitely be booking again!
Aly is phenomenal! I had two long workdays back to back, so I needed someone I could completely trust with Cheeki, and Aly is always reliable. She sends lots of updates and pictures, keeps track of everything, and I always know Cheeki is in good hand! Cheeki has been anxious around other dogs lately, so I was a little nervous leaving her. When I mentioned my concerns, Aly was incredibly understanding, patient, and willing to work with her at her own pace. It ended up being a great experience for Cheeki, and I had complete peace of mind while I was at work. You can truly tell Aly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Cheeki and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again :)))
This was my first experience with doggie daycare and I have to say it was amazing. The communication was top notch and I truly appreciated the pics and updates throughout the day. Bruno didn’t have any issues with me leaving and must have had so much fun throughout the day he even put himself to bed that night!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby boy.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dunn Loring on Rover is $32.19 per day (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 5,122 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dunn Loring. 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 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 5,122 sitters in Dunn Loring, 86% 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.
