“First daycare experience with Emmanuel and my puppy had a time. Nori was in the company of other dogs which she loves. Lots of space inside and out to run and play. She was returned to me good and tired. We are looking forward to our boarding stay.”
About: I owned a dog for most of my life. My dog sadly passed away after fifteen great years of happiness! I watch my friend's dogs when they go out of town because I'm usually always reliable and do most of my work inside my home. I am not lazy with taking dogs on walks and I care for pets like they are my own :) I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old so I am always home to care for your loved one. We have a fenced backyard and lots of areas to walk. I can be flexible about what your pet needs. If you would prefer them in a crate at night I’d be happy to do that but usually I love having your pets roam around my townhouse and our fenced yard!
“Jenny took such good care of our girl, Georgia! We dropped Georgia off just for a play date to get some things done and it looked like she had a great time. Jenny kept us updated throughout with several pictures of their activities:) We will definitely reach out to see if Jenny can watch Georgia in the future!”
“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
“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.”
“Awesome experience! Jason and Jeremy were wonderful and gave us piece of mind that our dog was having a great time as opposed to being locked up in a kennel all day. Thank you!”
“Lucy had a fun day with Russ and the two resident dogs. She loved being outside in the yard. Russ was easy to work with and very accommodating even when I had unexpected delays. Lucy can’t wait to come back!”
About: I've taken care of all size dogs from 3 lb Yorkies and small Shih Tzus to > 100 lb Hounds and Mastiffs since my teenage years. All in all almost 30 years of animal care and I'll love your fur baby as though they're mine. I'd like to know all about your family member and I'll pay attention to their special needs, what they don't like and what makes their tail wag with glee. I work from home so your dog will have access to my undivided attention, and lots of love and scritches! And whatever you dog needs, I'll tailor our time together to their pace. I offer dog daycare and overnight boarding in my second floor apartment which has convenient access to elevators and emergency exits. I'll be sure to pay close attention to the particulars of your beloved furry family members routine.
“Michael and Erin's home is super dog friendly, and Michael asked all the important questions about my senior pup. When I returned to get her after a day of boarding, she was happy and slept very well that night. The day of socializing was very good for her!”
“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!!!!!!!”
“Luca had a great time in our first daycare with Jenny and their precious dog Pickle! Previously Luca always had issues with eating his food however he ate fine and got a very detailed scorecard after his stay! Looking forward for future boarding and stays:)”
“Kiki had a great day with Melissa. She felt very at home from the moment we walked in (pretty unusual for our older anxious dog). Melissa kept us posted and immediately understood Kiki's needs and preferences. We will definitely be back!!”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Roderick and his family. Since our dog is still pretty new to us, we were a little unsure how he’d do, but he warmed up to them so quickly. It was clear he was comfortable and well cared for the whole time. Roderick and his family were kind, welcoming, and treated him like one of their own. We’d definitely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Garrett, Ana and their children were wonderful with Piper. They treated Piper like a member of their family. I would definitely recommend and call on them again.”
About: Hi! My name is Anna. I’m so excited to share my experience and the special moments I create with the pets I care for, so I’d love to introduce myself and help you get to know me better 💕 I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I have two girls, Rosie and Misa. They are very sweet and friendly dogs who are used to making new friends all the time. I work from home full time, which allows me to spend lots of quality time with pets, by going for walks, giving cuddles and treats, playing indoors and outdoors, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved! I’m proud to be a pet sitter and provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home for your beloved pets. My home has a large, fenced, and secure backyard where your pet can safely play, explore, and enjoy their time outside. It makes me happy to see pets feel relaxed and happy in my care. I send photos and videos regularly throughout the day, and I always keep open, friendly communication during the stay because I understand, how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and know how their pets are doing. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! Thank you for being here 🌈✨ Love, Anna I work from home full time, available every day, including weekends and holidays. My home has a large, clean, fenced, and secure backyard where pets can safely run, play, and relax in the sun I’m always outside with them to supervise, keep them company, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable For all my new friends: I would love to schedule a meet and greet before the boarding stay, so we can go over your pet’s routine and care, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. I also require up to date vaccination records for each pet prior to the meet and greet Pet safety and health is an important part of being a pet sitter: I regularly check doors & windows, clean food & water bowls daily, mop the floors, and vacuum the couch..etc. I follow all instructions provided by the pet parent, including feeding your pet according to their schedule & dietary needs, as well as any medication instructions you provide. I always maintain open and responsible communication with pet parents while your baby is staying at my place My main priority is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable I spend as much time as needed giving them attention, love, and lots of cuddles during their stay, because pets deserve the best life!

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 4,923 sitters in Fort Hunt, 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.
