“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”
“Haley was a real lifesaver for us. We had a very last-minute request due to an emergency and needed someone we could trust with our senior dog, and Haley agreed to watch him without hesitation. She took great care of him and gave us real peace of mind during a stressful situation. She was also very flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”
“So happy to have found Nina & Chris for my dog. They were very communicative and gave many updates during the day. We did a daycare text-run ahead of a work trip I have scheduled in a few weeks, to see if my dog fit into their household. Glad things went well!”
“This was one of our best Rover experiences. Amal was so communicative and punctual, and Maggie loved her instantly. We will absolutely use her again!”
“My dog had a great time at daycare! Fengyuan provided regular updates throughout the day and I felt comfortable leaving Flynn in his care. Pick up and drop off was quick. Flynn came home happy and most importantly tired after a fun day. Would definitely book again!”
About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
“Jennifer was amazing and helped me out last minute when another rover sitter cancelled! She was super responsive and Spike enjoyed spending the day with her and Louis :) I would definitely book again!”
“My Luna 🐾 came home ready to be “mellow” and take a nap… that tells me she can’t wait to come back again! I am SO glad to have found you for future “outings” for Luna… Matthew & family, we will see you again soon. Thank you, Luna🐾 & Mary”
“Fernie had a great first day care experience with Jodee and AJ! We did a meet and greet the day before with Maverik and their other regular day care pup, Winnie, to make sure everyone was compatible. Fernie had a blast sniffing and running all around the yard and Jodee sent me picture and status updates throughout the day.”
“Yejin accommodated miley on short turnaround notice the evening prior to the stay. She took miley out on an outdoor adventure and gave her all the attention she needed. Pictures were provided at the end of the day care. I recommend Yejin to any rover clients in need of a sitter!”
“This was my puppy’s first time with a sitter but Christian was awesome easing his anxiety and taking great care of him. She’s very responsive, reliable , and extremely patient ! I’ll definitely be using her again.”
“Liliana was absolutely amazing. She took excellent care of my furbaby. She kept me updated throughout the day and spoiled him as if he were her own. I highly recommend her and will certainly use her again.”
“Such a great sitter!!!! So grateful I found Merlyn and her sweet pup Nugget! My dog Bodhi loves hanging out with them while I’m at work! Would definitely recommend!”
“Camila is hands down the best dog sitter we have ever had! She is very professional and experienced with dogs. It was very clear that she was kind and caring to our puppy. She was excellent at giving us updates and our puppy came home happy!”

ABOVE AND BEYOND! Elliot and his partner Lorraine were simply the BEST!!! Our little baby, Yuzu, 12 months old, had never been out of our care till we had to leave him either alone for a day, or much better, to drop him off with Elliot and Lorraine, in order to drop off our daughter for I-Day at the U.S. Naval Academy. Elliot and Lorraine to the rescue! Not only did they watch Yuzu for over 14 hours in their lovely Georgetown home, Elliot even came to pick him up at 5:30 in the morning! They sent us pictures throughout the day, reassuring us of Yuzu's well being. By the end of the day, it was clear that we made the right choice for Daycare, evident by Yuzu being very content socializing with their two very well-behaved babies, Bronte, and Coogee, a few years older than Yuzu, as well as another guest dog. We can't thank you guys enough and really hope to depend on you in the future to care for Yuzu from time to time! We think Yuzu will think of it like a fun day out instead of missing Mommy and Daddy all day!
Natalie is the best!! She has exceeded any and all expectations as far as taking care of and loving our dog— not to mention how she has been to kind to us by accepting last minute bookings and unexpected longer stays. Our dog is so comfortable with Natalie and in her home which makes any dog parent feel at ease. Natalie sends updates and photos throughout the day which is the best! We have used Natalie many times and will always recommend her!
Kudos to Hannah and Graham for taking care of my dog for half a day last week. I know it can be somewhat trying to care for dog who is typically a loner and very anxious in new surroundings. But my dog was super chill when I picked him up so I know that Graham and Hannah were patient and kind with him. They even invited him back for another stay! Highly recommend this couple anytime you need a dog sitter.
I booked a daycare stay with Claire, and she was great with my dog! She was easy to coordinate with, flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, very responsive, and sent plenty of updates and photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. It was clear that she was attentive to details and followed all of my care instructions. My dog clearly had a great time with her and came home happy. I'd definitely book with Claire again and would highly recommend her to others.
Yejin accommodated miley on short turnaround notice the evening prior to the stay. She took miley out on an outdoor adventure and gave her all the attention she needed. Pictures were provided at the end of the day care. I recommend Yejin to any rover clients in need of a sitter!
Troy was great! I adopted a dog and needed a sitter to watch him while I get him used to being crated when I go to work. He took the last minute request, was responsive, and took great care of my Beau! He also reported on some of his behaviors for me which was very helpful. All in all a great sitter and I would absolutely leave Beau with him in the future!

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 Myer 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 5,292 sitters in Fort Myer, 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.
