“Luliia's house is the perfect place for dogs. She has a huge fully fenced in backyard with a double gate like you see in dog parks. I'm a paranoid pet parent, and I feel totally at ease leaving our two basset hounds there. They went for daycare, and I intend on having overnight stays for them there in the future. It was obvious that careful attention was paid to any breed specific needs and even to each dog's individual personalities. We got lots of photos and video of our dogs playing. They slept so long when I brought them back home.”
“Reliable, friendly and flexible, Tehani is the consummate professional. Henry is genuinely excited when he sees her and comes home happy. Highly recommended”
“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!”
“Sunny is very caring and took great care of my dog. she sent plenty of detailed updates and photos throughout the day without me having to ask! I will definitely book with her again”
“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.”
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”
“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Leila was amazing!! She took wonderful care of my dog Mila, sent updates and photos, and made the whole process stress-free. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy 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!”
“It was so easy to communicate with Amanda - quick responses to my messages and we are all set for a meet and greet, then she looked after Daisy today. She has a really cute ground level apartment right next to the Ballston Commons, and it has access to a fenced in shared yard for bathroom breaks. Daisy takes a moment to warm up to new people, but she quickly befriended Amanda and it took some effort when I came to pick her up to get Daisy to leave her curled up spot on the couch next to Amanda. ❣️. I'm so happy to have found a good Rover daycare sitter and will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”
“Laura is a real professional. She invested time to find out my pup’s needs before our scheduled daycare. She communicated very clearly with us throughout the day. Most importantly, my dog was so happy and well cared for when she was with Laura. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals.

I’ll treat your pets with patience, care, and respect, and I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and updated while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I’ll work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently in my last semester of nursing school! My classes are online, and I only have one in-person clinical day per week, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for doggy daycare, boarding, and walks throughout the week and can usually accommodate different drop-off, pick-up, and walk times. 🐾 Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“Sarachai takes wonderful care of my Monti (see cute goldendoodle pic!). My dog cries with happiness as we drive up to his house and pulls me to the front door. The family is great about sending pics and letting me know how my dog is doing during the day. I am extremely comfortable with letting Monti stay. I'll continue to be a repeat customer.”
“I was in DC for work and Scarlett took my dog Nili for an overnight and a day of dog sitting. Nili had a great time, she was so excited to see Scarlett when she was picked up the second time. I received lots of pictures and updates throughout the days. Would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Corina was great! Really responsive and great to work with. She took great care of our dog Nina. Sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. She took Nina out on several walks during the day and even worked on training her new tricks. My dog just loved her and I can tell she was well taken care of.”

Laura is a real professional. She invested time to find out my pup’s needs before our scheduled daycare. She communicated very clearly with us throughout the day. Most importantly, my dog was so happy and well cared for when she was with Laura. I highly recommend her!
So grateful that Haley was not only able to accommodate a last minute request but also took amazing care of my puppy, Izzy. She provided plenty of updates with pictures and videos and Izzy clearly enjoyed her time there! I highly recommend Haley as a sitter to anyone in the Court House/Clarendon area.

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 5,215 sitters in Fort Myer, 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.
