“Vidhi provided excellent care for our Jingles. She shared constant updates and pictures to show how he was adapting. He really seemed to enjoyed his stay with her and I will definitely use her service in the future.”
“Left Flash, my 5 year old Bichon under the care of Zach for a day and Zach was so responsive and sent regular updates about Flash. He took great care of Flash and we were assured that Flash would have had a great day with Zach. Thanks Zach and would recommend Zach.”
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Nina was wonderful, attentive and very caring towards my 2 dogs. She was in constant communication with me and very flexible and accommodating to their needs. My one rescue is a handful but he seemed to be doing great in her care. I got videos that showed how calm and relaxed he was. So glad I found a great sitter for my pups!!”
“Thank you Paras & Rohita for taking care of Sparkle. I appreciate you doing a long walk for her pee poop break. Sparkle loves long walks. Will plan our next visit soon”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and the personalized, dependable care I provide to every pet I meet. I treat your pets like family, taking the time to understand their unique needs, personalities, and routines. I also make time each week to: • Prepare supplies (treats, toys, leashes, litter, etc.) • Review and update care notes for each pet • Maintain strong communication with pet parents through updates and photos I offer a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. I maintain a calm, clean, and supervised environment, free of hazards, with designated areas for sleep, play, and meals. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or cuddles—so they experience minimal disruption while away from their family. Pets in my care are never left alone for long, and I offer frequent potty breaks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention throughout the day.
“Eun Ha was great! She took care of Biscuit like her own. I was a bit worried since my dog has separation anxiety, but looking at the pictures and videos she sent me, I could tell he was very comfortable with them. She sent me more updates later on so I was at ease knowing he's in good hands. Biscuit seemed to have enjoyed his stay which never happened with other commercial boarding facilities. I would definitely book her again!”
“I recently had Judy care for my French Bulldog, Betsy, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! She was professional and attentive. And kept me updated with photos and messages. I could tell that Betsy had an amazing time during her stay. I highly recommend Judy’s services for anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have had dogs for most of my life. I currently have a 4 year old golden doodle who I got as a puppy and is a very important part of my family. I work from home most of the time, so I get to spend a lot of time with my dog -- playing and going for walks. I am very attentive to my dog. While my yard is not fenced in, safety is a top priority. My dog doesn't leave the house without bring on a leash. I also make certain he is safe on our walks when we're around cars.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Gilberts Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,418 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Gilberts Corner. 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 Gilberts Corner 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 4,418 sitters in Gilberts Corner, 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.
