“Our dear Pup ALWAYS has a good time hanging out with Larissa! When he knows that we’re pulling up to her house, he starts to get SUPER excited which makes us feel good❤️! She is truly a godsend!!”
About: I absolutely adore animals. I have four children who are also huge animal lovers so if you board with us in home your pet will be absolutely doted on. Pet parents will be hard pressed to find a family that will take better care of your pet or give them as much love and attention. I love being outside and going on long walks and would love to accompany your dog on their daily walk. We have a tremendous amount of time to play with your pet, take them on walks, and give them the attention they not only require but also deserve. We have a decent sized fenced in yard which is perfect for lots of play time! We are very attentive to animals and have experience giving medication including shots.
About: I am a very detail oriented, dependable and responsible person, but most of all - I have a heart for animals (especially doggies)! I was the kid that snuck puppies into my bedroom, found a stray kitten and spent all the time in the world to make them feel safe until they played with me. I love being around animals and taking care of them, as they provide the best unconditional love and give back in more ways than one. I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your fur babies all alone when you're away, so I want to share my love and care to ensure the best care for you and your fur babies! I am very flexible! Just give me a call to set up a meet n greet. I can work with you to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to house sit in your home or take care of your fur baby in my home. Of course, I do a meet n greet to ensure everyone is comfortable!
“⸻ Pedro had an amazing day with Yeny and Ray! He got plenty of playtime with his new furry friends, Charlie and Leo. When we got home, Pedro was happily tired and ready for bed. Yeny and Ray sent us photos and videos throughout the day, and communication was great. We’ll definitely book with them again!”
About: Hello! I currently teach in stafford county And looking to help some families care for their fury babies. I’ve enjoyed being around animals since I was really young! I helped my roommate raise two puppies for the seeing eye while in college & nannied for a family one summer with a dog. When the family went on vacations I took care of the house and the dog daily. I’m honest, trust worthy and caring! I have experience with small dogs and larger dogs. I have always enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them. I grew up with cats and dogs, so I love both animals! I’m very organized and genuine. Looking forward to meeting a family whose fury baby I can help care for! Message me if looking :)!
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have always had them in my life! From taking care of my sister from puppyhood to her golden years to raising doggy fur kiddo’s of my very own, I take pride and honor in respecting each and every dog I meet! I walk my own pug and pomsky 4 times a day, as well as take them to our backyard dog park that’s incredible for play! Both of my own pups are fully vaccinated, well socialized, and are very excited to meet new friends! I am a college student full time with online classes but have a ton of time to pour into animal care and outside time! I cannot wait to see where this adventure goes! I’m a full time college student but my girls are already a big part of my schedule! This semester I have all online courses so am very flexible Aside from outright walking the neighborhood, I have a fully fenced dog park directly behind my house that has a one group policy! Meaning if I’m at the park there is a wait for others vice versa! Our neighborhood is a lovely daily walk as well with many doggy bag stations!
“My husband and I were in the area visiting and wanted to spend the day in DC. Stephanie and her family watched our two dogs for the day. She sent us lots of pictures and updates during the day! When we are back in the area we will use her again!”
About: Dogs and cats are my babies. There is nothing I love more than to have them follow me around the house. I am willing to host cats and small dogs in my home. I am also willing to do drop in visits with medium sized dogs. I am able to provide basic care for pets, including feeding, walking, and waste pickup. I love to keep pets company, so I would be a good fit for a dog or cat with separation anxiety. I am at home full time, so I am able to give care and attention to your pets throughout the day and overnight if needed. My yard does not have a fence, so the dogs can only go out for leash walks. Please let me know whether your pet gets along with other dogs and cats. I will keep you informed about any other animals that will be in my home to make sure your pet is in a safe environment.
About: I was a kennel assistant at a German Shepard facility for a year, my duties included grooming, playing with, exercising, giving shots and feeding the dogs. for the past five years I have dog sat/walked for neighbors, friends and families with dogs of all breeds/sizes/temperaments. I also have experience with all different ages of dogs from puppies to senior. I also worked at a vet hospital for a little over a year before I had to move back to Fairfax. I am currently working part time so I have a ton of free time to take care of any of your pet needs! I am free on weekends and during the week for repeated check ins or one time visits. Holidays are also no problem either! I have a warm welcoming environment with comfortable blankets and pillow and dog toys for your pet. At a clients home I will use whatever the pet has in the home like toys and blankets to make them feel comfortable and happy.
“We were near Fredricksburg for the the weekend and we wanted to go eat at the restaurant so we found Kindall; luckily she was only 4 minutes away from where we wanted to dine. We were able to drop him off , Kindall greeted us outside and Spider felt comfortable right away with her. We felt at eat ease leaving him for about 2 hours. We were able to enjoy our meal without having to rush and even went shopping after. Kindall kept us updated by sending us photos and communicating. We did not have to give her anything as she said she would give him her own treats. We will highly recommend and use Kindall in the future again, she was very sweet and patient with spider.”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals (dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, fish) and loved it. Less than a year after moving out to attend college I got my own puppy (Havanese). 12 years later I found myself getting a second dog after my parents and a sibling adopted her other 2 sisters (English Cream Golden Retriever puppies). We dogsit for them, and of course they come to family get-togethers, so we're used to having extra dogs in our house! In 2025 we said goodbye to our first dog, and a few months later welcomed home our foster-to-adopt puppy (chihuahua-beagle mix). The kids love playing and cuddling with dogs and understand when they need space. My job allows flexibility in my schedule to work from home when needed. I usually work early hours so that I can have more time available in the afternoons & evenings to spend with family. Caring for pets and considering their feeding/potty breaks is already part of our daily routine. Having my own home, family, and pets I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and respectful to take care of your pets. Your pet will be treated as one of our own.
About: Hi there! Backed by a professional background in grooming and large-scale facility work, I offer your pup the kind of specialized care they deserve. My small-scale, personal approach ensures every dog gets dedicated attention in a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home setting. Guests enjoy a fully climate-controlled indoor space featuring their own designated area and personal cot to relax and sleep soundly. Plus, a built-in doggy door gives them 24/7 access to a secure, 3,000-square-foot outdoor run within my fully fenced yard (cameras coming soon!). Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. We treat every guest like family, ensuring your fur baby stays comfy, cozy, and completely pampered. With years of experience in large-scale facilities caring for over 150 dogs at once, we bring big-facility safety standards to a warm, personal setting where your pup is always our top priority. We provide around-the-clock care in a secure, home-based setting tailored specifically for canine comfort. Unlike high-volume commercial facilities, our setup limits capacity to ensure every dog gets personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a cozy resting spot.

“Marissa and her family were wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and our first in-home day care experience.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in McCarthys Corner is $44 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $61 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 827 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across McCarthys 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 McCarthys 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.
As of November 2026, there are 827 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of VA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
