“I recommend Loreen to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! She made my dog extremely comfortable and was able to accommodate to our last minute time changes. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Tofu the next time I’m out of town!”
“We booked Grace for a very last-minute daycare session, and we couldn’t be more grateful that we found her. Our dog Miso is quite sensitive and anxious, so we’re always cautious about new caregivers—but she seemed incredibly comfortable with Grace right away. She has such a calming, kind energy, and it was no surprise to hear that Miso adjusted so well and felt at ease in her care. Knowing she was safe, relaxed, and well looked after gave us so much peace of mind. We’re truly grateful for Grace’s care and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with dogs who need a gentle and patient sitter. 🐾💛”
“Jason&becky is a very considerable dog sitter. Milo had one-day with Jason who shared updates / photos every other hours. Milo played well with their two pups, we are very happy for Jason&becky ‘s service today!”
About: I have lovingly taken care of dogs & cats for over 30 years, both mine & those belonging to friends, family & neighbors. From an early age I learned that all animals need love and compassion, and this taught me to always responsibly care for our family & friends' pets. Since then my passion for animals has taken me on a career path as a global wildlife & nature conservationist & photographer. Any chance I get to walk, visit, play with, and care for a pet brings me immense joy. I know how hard it is to leave your pet for a trip or even just for the day to go to work, my commitment to you is that your pet will receive tons of attention, affection and exercise and you can feel 100% at ease. I am available day/evenings during the week and flexible throughout the day/night on weekends. I will make every effort to fit your schedule. I currently work from home, giving me plenty of time and a broad range of flexibility to visit, walk, and care for your pets. Hopefully your pooch can help me get some of my daily 13,000 steps in! I like to send daily updates and photos giving you peace of mind that your kitty or pooch are happy and taken care of, eliminating any worries you may have regarding your pet during your time away. I'm excited about the chance to meet you and your fur baby! When I visit your pet, I hold myself to the highest standard from the moment I enter your home and greet your pet, as if it was my own home and my own pet. I will strive to leave your home in the same, or better, condition than it was at the beginning of my visit or stay. Once I've followed all instructions provided by you (food, water, litter, toys, meds, etc.), your pet is going to get plenty of affection, playtime, and exercise to keep them fed, happy and well-rested until my next visit (or your return). Let me know your pet’s preferences! High energy dog? Let’s go for a long walk or a run! More of a lap dog? Let's read or watch a movie and I’ll make sure we get in some quality cuddle time. Maybe it’s that time of year and your fur baby is shedding everywhere - let me help with the brushing!
“Rio loved spending the day with Jose Luis! I received regular text and picture updates, and Jose Luis was always quick to respond to messages. Definitely recommend!”
“Overall had a positive experience with Sush. She was accommodating and communicative. Above all, my pup has a great time there and I can feel at ease knowing he is loved there. We will be back soon.”
“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”
“Katerine took Mia on short notice, and Mia had a great time hanging out with the other dogs. Katerine is always a great communicator and provides timely updates.”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care you gave our pet Aki. Even though we were much later than expected in picking him up, you were incredibly kind and understanding. Thank you so much for your patience and generosity — it truly means a lot to us. Aki was clearly well taken care of and happy. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!””
“We felt so comfortable leaving Daisy in Yasmine’s capable hands! We received updates throughout Daisy’s stay, and she was so happy and tuckered out when we picked her up.”
About: I offer a calm, attentive, and personalized care experience for both cats and dogs in the Tysons, McLean, and Great Falls area. With over 6 years of combined experience, I take time to understand each pet’s rhythm — from gentle brushing and quiet companionship to playful moments and frequent photo updates. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets and give them lots of love and attention. On weekends, I love being outdoors—if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along for some fun and fresh air! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, keep the environment safe and clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular photo updates so you always feel connected. I occasionally offer boarding at my home for small dogs and cats who can peacefully coexist with my friendly resident cat. I do slow, careful introductions to ensure a stress-free stay. Please note that I do not board large dogs.
“Guy helped us out when we needed a Doggie Day Care while we were visiting Arlington National Cemetery for an interment. We didn't know how long the 3 ceremonies would take, and he told us that he would help us for whatever we needed. With all that was going on for us, he offered comfort in taking care of our beloved Toby.”
“Hk took really good care of my then 10 month golden doodle. Hk stayed in touch with me throughout the day, and at the end of the visit provided good and honest feedback about my dog's stay.”
About: I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them! We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice I live in an apartment with ample walking nearby. Super dog friendly neighborhood. We have space to set up crates if needed. I am a neat person and will clean up after myself and the dogs.
“Andrew is a first class dog professional. Flexible, reliable, and has a true knack with dogs. He helped us out on short notice and we could not be happier. You will be extremely happy that you chose Andrew. 5 stars—easy.”
“Spike had a great time here! I was a little worried at first because he gets a little territorial around his house toward other dogs but has always been good at doggy day care, I just thought maybe since it was out of a house, he would think it was his right away, haha! But they have a great way of integrating and letting the dogs get comfortable with the space and other dogs. They really have this down to a science! They showed my big boye lots of love and fun, even gave him a goodie bag of new toys to play with! Thanks so much for your care and commitment!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McLean
We were glad to find Jason and Becky on Rover.com. They were engaged with us throughout the reservation process and as our scheduled changed. They made our Goldie feel welcome and provided her with canine and human companionship for the day, sharing photos of Goldie's day. We highly recommend them.
Yasmine is the best! I had taken my dog to an indoor doggie daycare, and it very clearly overwhelmed him. I needed to find an alternative quickly, which is how I found Yasmine. From the start, she answered all my questions - even the ones I didn’t know I had - and immediately made me feel at ease about leaving my dog in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and is very attuned to their needs. Murphy absolutely loves going to Yasmine’s, and I feel so happy knowing he’s in good hands and actually enjoying his day while I’m at work.
Grace was absolutely great with Poppy. She provided us great updates of the day with lots of pictures, which we truly appreciated. She truly cared about Poppy's comfort at her home and followed the care instructions we provided. I have already booked our next session with her. Thank you for taking great care of Poppy, Grace!!
Thank you so much, as always, for taking such great care of Lupin. We really appreciate you accepting on short notice. We are especially grateful for how kind Maryam and her husband are with him. He came home happy, relaxed and full of energy, which says everything. Thank you again for your care and reliability!
It's clear that Lei provided excellent care to London during her stay today. Lei checked in with us to let us know how London was doing, and shared lots of great info and stories when we picked London up, which was really nice to hear. Also seeing all the cute photos taken of London! We hope to use Lei again soon next time London needs doggy daycare. Thank you Lei!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in McLean on Rover is $48.84 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,230 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across McLean. 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 McLean 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 5,230 sitters in McLean, 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.
