About: My name is Ana, and I’m a retired, stay-at-home dog lover with over 50 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Because I’m always home, your furry baby will receive constant supervision, attention, and plenty of love throughout the day. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, including administering medications, understanding mobility needs, and providing gentle, patient care. Whether your pup loves long walks, short strolls, or simply relaxing and being loved on, I’m happy to meet their individual needs. My home is calm, loving, and pet-friendly. My daughter and son-in-law are also home, so your dog will never be alone and will be surrounded by people who truly enjoy caring for animals. We treat every dog as part of our family and take their safety and comfort very seriously. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would be honored to care for yours as if they were my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions — we would love the opportunity to care for your furry baby! I am a healthy senior citizen with tons of free time and energy. I am looking to love on some fur babies, while making some extra income! Ready to meet New friends. Seeing a dog happy, increases my own happiness! I have a huge fenced in yard, and a 3 story home with a sun room where I'd love to make some memories with your furry babies. We have a huge fenced in yard where they can also enjoy good weather and exercise!
“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.”
“Look no further! This is a wonderful and completely dependable couple! I realized quickly that Zuri would feel right at home with Katherine and Brian and she is. Also there have been times that my job hours were unpredictable but K&B didn’t skip a beat and stepped right up to help. Thank you both so much ❤️”
“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 love taking care of dogs and the liveliness they bring to any household. I've taken care of multiple dogs at once before and have experience feeding them medicine as well! I'm available almost all hours of the day as I work from home. Having pets around is great because I love the comfort they bring when it's just me in the house. I have a fenced in backyard, along with a sliding glass door to the backyard. I have multiple floors in my house so pets can roam to their heart's content.
About: Hello from the mother, daughter, and dad team! Apart from the necessary cuddles, activity, and attention we offer, all and any instructions will be followed to a t. My parents and I have been providing care to beloved pets for a little over 13 years and never get tired of it! Due to the nature of my job (work from home) and my parents are retired, so, your pooch or kitty will always be within our sight and well accompanied. We are fit individuals that live close to many parks and trails, free of traffic. We look forward to meeting your furry companion and taking the best care of them, as if they were our own. I work from home and throughout the day I have dedicated time set aside to go on walks, play with, love on, and take care of your babies! And as mentioned, my parents are retired and have plenty of free time throughout the week. We are attentive to the pets needs and safety. We follow your close instructions on what is best to do, what to avoid, what they can and can’t eat. And of course, are completely transparent about how your pet is doing.
“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.”
“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.”
About: *in vet school* *Experienced vet tech with 5+ years and incoming veterinary student* . I have 5+ years as a senior vet tech and am a matriculate veterinary student looking to make extra money. I am CPR and First Aid certified for dogs and cats. I have worked at a pet daycare to veterinary clinic with combined experience of 9+ years. I have 2 dogs of my own and have been around dogs and cats all my life. Due to my career skills I am experienced with puppies to senior animal care. My schedule is flexible and usually am around from 6am-10pm every day of the week. I work 5 of the 7 days of the week but when petsitting I will split my time between work and the pet I’m caring for only. I will make sure every fence and door is closed. Can crate your dog if needed. I will also ensure any dangerous items or food is not in reachable distance. I also know to watch for any signs and know what to do if your pet is sick
“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. 🐾💛”
“We use Rover all the time and this was our BEST rover experience. Yiting was very responsive and took Maggie to so many new parks and places to explore. Maggie gets so excited when she sees Yiting during drop off, and I know she is incredibly well cared for. Will absolutely use again!”
“My puppy had a great time with Abbey and her family! She went over there for daycare and will definitely be going back. She got to play with her pups and got all her energy out, she came home happy and pooped!”
“Penny had a great time at Crystals house. I loved all the pictures throughout the day to see how penny was doing. Crystal was super responsive as well on all communication. Would highly recommend”
“Our pup loved staying with Andrew! It was our first time leaving him since we got him and we were at ease knowing he would have a blast! When we picked him up he immediately passed out in the car.”
“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!”
“Grateful for Cathy for being so flexible and helping to take care of my crazy Ranger! She is very sweet, showed concern, and I appreciate the insights and observations she made throughout his stay.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
Isabelle and her parents were wonderful with my pup! They made my anxious pup feel safe and loved and he quickly warmed up to them. They sent photos and videos along the way to show his progress and I felt so comfortable with him in their care. They were quick to respond and overall the experience was very pleasant. Will absolutely be boarding with them again! Thanks so much!
We had a wonderful experience with Andrew! Shiloh looked so happy and clearly had such a great time playing with the other dogs. We really appreciated the large yard and the care and attention given throughout the day. Communication was great, and it was comforting knowing he was in good hands. Thank you again for taking such great care of our sweet boy — we would absolutely book again! 🐾
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.
Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.
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!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Oakwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Oakwood on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 5,266 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Oakwood. 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 Oakwood 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 5,266 sitters in Oakwood, 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.
