“Linda and her family took wonderful care of Navi! I received many cute pictures and videos of Navi having fun with the family. Navi had a great time and enjoyed her stay. Linda was also very flexible with her schedule which I very much appreciated. Looking forward to the next time, thank you so much!”
“Amber was absolutely excellent! My husband and I were able to run errands and spend time together outside our home in peace knowing Rocky was in good hands. We received frequent video and picture updates and Rocky looked to be right at home. Thank you so much Amber for everything!”
“We could not have found a more loving and caring person to watch our Twinkle. Jessie went above and beyond making sure Twinkle felt confortable from day one. We met with her prior to our trip so Twinkle would be comfortable with her and her family as well as the house. When we dropped her she felt right at home. Jessie sent us updates and many pictures of Twinkle during her stay and we knew she was getting all the love and care she needed. Twinkle had a tumor removed a couple weeks before our trip and Jessie even did us the favor of talking her to the vet to get her bandage changed and took good care of her foot. Twinkle was so happy there that when I went to pick her up she was in no hurry to go home and went back to her bed! Your dog will be very happy in Jessie’s care. She also only takes a max of 2 dogs so your dog will be getting all the needed attention. We will definitely have Jessie watch Twinkle on our next trip or when we leave for a long day! Thank you Jessie. We are so glad we found you. Twinkle loves you.”
“Ligia is by far the best doggy sitter in the world! I had never left my fur baby with anybody else before but Ligia reassured me that he would have a great day and he sure did! Every time I leave Harley at her house, I get pictures of him playing with other dogs and constant updates on how he’s doing. Ligia has helped Harley be able to socialize with other dogs and the best part is that I know he has a fantastic time with her. He’s always super excited to go to her house and play with his best friend, Ducky. I am so happy and blessed that I found Ligia! I absolutely recommend her and her services. Harley and I couldn’t be happier!!”
“Laurie was great. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone that my dogs didn’t know, and I was so worried, but Laurie sent me pictures and videos that they were playing and enjoying each other and Laurie’s dog got a perfect long with both my dogs.”
“Tiffany was an absolute delight to book with!! From the very beginning, she was very prompt in her responses and answered any questions that I had. I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus! She also communicated throughout the day with updates and cute photos of my fur baby so I knew he was safe and well taken care of. If I could, I would give her 10/5 stars! I definitely plan to book with her again in the near future! Thanks again Tiffany!”

Also pictures sent throughout the day of all the doggies playing was so reassuring & much appreciated! I highly recommend- & I will continue to use her services!!!”

Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”

She’s my shadow and I will treat your pet with the same kind of companionship. I am open to all request. Just let me know what you are looking for and we can figure out the schedule! Happy to be flexible with times and needs. I provide a safe environment at home. I have two pets of my own, a very calm golden retriever and a black cat that thinks she’s a dog. They usually sleep throughout the day. I work from home so your pet can hang out with me while I work. For drop in visits I would come solo without my dog (unless requested for play).

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Hartwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 865 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hartwood. 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 Hartwood 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 865 sitters in Hartwood, 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.
