“Emmanuel was a superb caretaker for my senior pup with vertebral pain. I am grateful for the care he gave Ferby, especially on short notice, so that I could return to work at school. Ferby had a great day in his care!”
“Helen was a great find! She is so sweet and patient. By the 3rd drop off our pup was so excited to see her he was jumping out of the car. We were very lucky to find her! I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Jenny did a wonderful job of taking care of Ringo. She is incredibly conscientious and caring. She pays attention to her charges and made provided pictures and updates on Ringo’s stay. Will be using in the future as well.”
“This was my first time leaving my pup for more than just a few hours. Matt kept me updated with videos and pictures that showed how much fun my boy was having. I was able to enjoy my time away from him knowing he was in such good hands.”
About: Mom of dogs, cats, birds, lizards and other animals looking to spoil more in my spare time. Can promise treats and lots of hugs if needed. Working as a researcher so the schedule varies a bit but is generally fairly free since I work from home and have a flexible schedule I have a fenced yard, but would prefer to see animal at clients house since my dog and cat get stressed at having their space invaded, unless it's by a well known friend
About: Hi! I grew up with family dogs. I always love caring for them and taking them on long walks. I rescued my dog Reagan. She is a 10 year old medium-sized friendly high-energy dog that would love a housemate to spend time and play with. I live in a house with a dog door and a fenced in yard. I am also able to take the dogs out on frequent walks easily. I also have a lot of green space near my place, to include the Mount Vernon Trail and Jones Point Park. When boarding, I will primarily be home with the dogs. Boarding pick-ups after 3pm will incur a daycare fee of $30. I can't wait to meet and spend time with your pup! I work from home full time and have flexibility with my daytime work schedule if the dog needs frequent walks or play through the day. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and have really all the freedom to roam as they please. I also have a dog door so they can go outside as they like. But I can also easily let them out and monitor them if they do not care for a dog door.
“Abigail was wonderful. I needed a sitter at the last minute for super early in the morning and late in the evening. She rearranged her schedule so she could help me. When I dropped my dog off she was very kind and I felt comfortable leaving. When I picked up my dog, I could tell she did a good job because my dog is normally very shy and gets depressed when I am away. When I picked my dog up, although extremely happy to see us, she still went by Abigail.”
“Russ and his family took excellent care of our girl! They have a lovely yard and some adorable and playful bassets - a dogs paradise! They sent lots of updates, photos, and videos of our pup throughout the day. We picked up a very happy girl! Highly recommend!”
“We needed someone to look after our dog Archie for the day while we went to an event. We were going for the whole day and wouldn't be returning until the eveing so we didn't want to leave Archie alone for that long. Our usual dog sitter wasn't available on that day so I contacted Brian and another pet sitter on Rover to see if either one could look after him instead. It was a bit last minute (3 days notice) which was my fault for not trying to sort something sooner. The other person didn't even respond to my enquiry but Brian immediately did and said he was available. I made the necessary booking arrangements and Brian was felixable with drop off and pick up times if we needed to nudge them in case of traffic or whatever (we were an hour away). On the day we got sent pictures of Archie and I could see he was having a good time and felt comfortable with Brian in his home and with his dogs. I can definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking for a dog sitter and was so thankful he was able to take Archie at short notice. Communication was prompt and the pictures he sent reassured us that Archie was doing well. Thank you Brian!”
“Jordyn was great - very flexible with timing which was a huge help since we were on the road and weren't sure exactly when we would get there. Zeke had a really great time with her - sad for him since it was only for one night! We will definitely be contacting Jordyn again in the future when we come to the area again!”

“You guys were a life saver, I must admit I was a bit nervous as this was a first time using Rover. But Natalie and Bryce made me at ease for the moment we met. Now let’s get into Dutch :) we had a time getting in the truck as he was still trying to follow you guys!!! That tells me he really enjoyed the care you provided. Thank you thank you soooo much!! We would definitely use you guys again!!!!!!!”
About: I am full-time working from home now, so since I’ve got some extra time I would love to take care of your dog! We have a dog, cat, and 1 year old baby here but would love to have someone else over to play. We have a large fenced in back yard, perfect for running around or relaxing in the sun. I would also love to pick your dog up and take it on a walk. I am available all day at home. We love dogs, have relied on Rover sitters a lot, and would love to help you out! Please let me know if you would like to come for a meet and greet! Our lives have revolved around our pets for many years. Taking care of them is the first thing we do when we wake up and they are top of mind all day long. Our dog enjoys spending a lot of time outside, but if your dog wants to shadow me that’s great too! I am happy to accommodate any care requirements
About: I have had animals in my care my entire life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and birds. Caring for animals is something that comes naturally to me because I truly love them and treat them as part of the family. All the pets I’ve cared for have been happy, well-loved, and safe. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding routines, or simply giving them affection and comfort, I always make sure they feel secure and cared for. Your pet will be treated with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I maintain a flexible and organized schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet in my care. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, ensuring consistency with feeding times, walks, exercise, and rest. I am reliable, punctual, and committed to following each pet’s specific routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet. I am located near a large field and a park, which allows me to offer regular walks, outdoor exercise, and stimulating activities in a safe setting. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and special care requirements. I am attentive to pets’ behavior and always prioritize their safety and well-being during walks and playtime.

Our dog Mason had a wonderful time at Jenny's! She is very organized and communicative and I felt no reservations about leaving him there. She knows what she's doing and is clearly great at it. We will be using her again for doggy daycare in the future. Thank you!
My senior pup had such a great daycare day with Emmanuel, he came home tired, happy, and completely content. Emmanuel even sent me photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. We’re now looking forward to the upcoming longer stay and feel very comfortable knowing he’ll be in good hands. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Fort Hunt on Rover is $53.28 per day (as of September 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 Fort Hunt 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 4,868 sitters in Fort Hunt, 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.
