“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!”
About: My interest in dogs started 5 years when I became a dog musher in the winters! Then I signed up as a weekly volunteer with my local dog shelter. And I take the shelter dogs on fun field trips (hikes, parks, canoeing on the potomac- you name it)! I don't have pets of my own so my time is dedicated fully to other people's dogs and cats. I also work part time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will make sure I understand you and your dog's needs, and work together as a team and your dog has a super fun adventure and time will fly!
“Jie was very kind, flexible and provided a safe, engaging space for my young dog's first experience at daycare. She took care to select appropriate pack dynamic for play and even worked on some 'place' and calm stay training throughout the day with her, which was unexpected and awesome. My dog loves her, and is always excited to visit. Totally 100% recommend Jie without reservation and hope to use her services again soon!”
“Shizuka was absolutely wonderful with Mayo! It was a gloomy, rainy day, and Shizuka went above and beyond to make sure he was mentally stimulated and happy. Instead of just sitting around, she engaged him with indoor dog puzzles and interactive games to burn off his energy. Mayo came home tired and content, which is the best sign of a great day! If you're looking for a sitter who is attentive, creative, and truly cares about your pup's well-being, I highly recommend Shizuka. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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.”
“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'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.
“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!”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my reliability, genuine care, and respect for every pet as a valued member of your family. I’m not just an animal lover—I’m dependable, punctual, and treat each pet's routine and personality with the attention they deserve. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable or making sure a dog gets their favorite walk, I provide care you can count on—every time. As of now, I am very flexible. I understand pets needs can be specific and I will try my best to fit that into my schedule as though they were my own! I care for pets, in my home, but also in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding times, walks, play, and even the little quirks they love—so they feel secure while you're away. I keep things calm, clean, and cozy, making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care. Whether it’s a cat that needs quiet company or a dog who thrives on belly rubs and fetch, I’m there to make sure they feel loved every step of the way.
“Pickles LOVED her day spent with Katerine & Brian! We received updates and pictures of Pickles throughout her day! This is the first time Pickles has ever been left with anyone other than family or friends, and naturally we were nervous - but the updates truly helped us feel at ease! Thanks again, we would definitely reach out to Katerine for her service again, while in the DC area!”
“I am so grateful for Karol who took such good care of my 11 month old active dog. She communicated well throughout the day, sent pictures, and was very kind and caring to my dog that is not used to being left with others. I highly recommend Karol and appreciate her help.”
“Grayson absolutely loves his time with Sasha. It isn’t like any other place. They actually care about your dog. The big reason we send Grayson is for the social aspect most of the time they have other dogs there for him to play with which makes everything that much better.”
“Guy was great with my Maltese she really enjoyed spending time with him and his dog Casey and the other dogs there. He has helped her significantly with her anxiety after the loss of her sister”
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!

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.

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.

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.
