“This was my first time using this app and Candice made it a great experience. She is awesome and took really good care of my 4 months old puppy, she sent me morning and evening updates and was pretty responsive. She made me feel so comfortable as she answered all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner, but most importantly she made my puppy feel like he was part of her family as he was sad to depart her home and said bye to his new friends. If you want someone who is truly trustworthy she is your person, thank you Candice, I will definitely take Maximus back.”
“Vanessa and Geoffrey were so kind and professional with the initial meet and greet for doggy daycare. They sent lots of updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. This was our first in-home dog care experience, and we will definitely be back!”

About: My dog, Mozart, I've had him since he was a puppy. I volunteered in animal shelters for years, and also raised kittens by bottle-feeding. I've pet sitted for friends and family in the past and they were always happy with the amount of attention their pet received. I work from home, so I am available to take care of your furry friend and keep them company all day. I am dedicated to showing attention and taking care of all a pet's needs. I take my dog on 3 walks a day, the latter two being 1 hour or more in time. I feed him a mix of majority raw diet (cooked chicken, raw beef), and keep up on his medication that keeps his joints healthy and him protected from heartworm and tick-borne illnesses.
“Jen is kind and caring about the dogs she sits. Her older dog and Bella do well together. So does the other dog who is also older than Bella. And she has enough indoor space and outdoors on deck and grass for the dogs to have variety in their surroundings. She also walks them 2 or 3 times a day, another plus. And her doggie healthy biscuits that she bakes has Bella begging for more!!”

This was our first sit with Nikhita and it went very well. This was a day sit and Louie seemed to make himself right at home. I loved the fact that Nikhita wanted to do a meet and greet before our scheduled sit date. I felt confident in the care Louie received and we plan to rebook in the near future.
I had such a great experience with her! She and her mom took amazing care of Lulu and Toby while I was away. I really appreciated the consistent updates and pictures, it gave me so much peace of mind throughout the day. You can tell they genuinely care, because every time I picked up my puppies, they were happy, calm, and well taken care of. That alone says everything. I’m so grateful to have found them and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!
Thank God for Rebeca! I was super nervous leaving Molly behind, because she isn't used to being away from home or around other dogs, but Rebeca made me feel confident leaving her in her care. She treated her as if she were one of her own pets. There is no doubt that she gives her plenty of affection and attention and she enjoys caring for them. She sent me photos and kept in touch throughout the stay to let me know how Molly was doing. It gives me peace of mind to know that when I'm not home, Molly is in good hands. Definitely recommend them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Occoquan on Rover is $38.85 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 Occoquan 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 4,823 sitters in Occoquan, 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.
