About: Hi! I’m an experienced and passionate animal lover who truly enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, snakes, and small rodents, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy because I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to follow your care instructions carefully and give them the attention they’re used to at home. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care and be available when you need it. I also make sure to send regular photo and video updates, because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and doing well. You can expect your pet to be treated with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection while they’re with me. My goal is always to make them feel relaxed and cared for. (Bonus: I’m also very experienced in the important skill of telling pets they’re “the best boy/girl ever” at least 17 times per visit.) Pet sitting is my only source of income, so that being said I have no schedule holding me back from being there for your fur babies when needed. Providing daily food, treats (rewarding), and/or medications. Walks for exercise. Dog toys, i have squeaky toys, crackle toys, tug toys, and bones of all sizes!
“My pups have done daycare with Carolina a few times now and it's been a great experience. Appreciate the convenience of pickup/dropoff transportation service with my busy work schedule and long work commute. Thanks Carolina!”
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid and have experience owning dogs of my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I enjoy spending time with dogs, playing with them, and treating every pet like a member of my family. I stay home all day, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I can give them lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have an unfenced yard and currently don’t have a dog of my own, so your pet will get plenty of love and attention! Dogs are welcome to relax on the couch and feel at home.
“Michelle was great with my dog. Teddy is very timid and he felt comfortable enough to play fetch and actually eat a full bowl of food. She sent updates throughout the day. He went for a walk and played in the fenced in backyard. I will definitely use her again when in the area.”
“Taylor is a wonderful dog sitter who has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is incredibly personable and treats my dog, Wynter, like family. Wynter has become best friends with Taylor's dog, Stuffy, and her bagel, forming a delightful trio. Taylor's loving and attentive care has made every experience stress-free for both me and my dog. It's evident that she has a genuine love for animals, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and reliable pet sitter.”
“Laurie is great! She really cares for the dogs and it shows. She sent lots of pictures and Maggie had a wonderful time. Maggie is looking forward to her next daycare visit.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom grandma or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease
“Deeksha was very kind and she is great at communicating. she sent me pictures and videos of mencho playing, sleeping, and going potty. She was fast at responding. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have always been an animal lover! I spent a better chunk of my high school and college years watching horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, fish, birds, ferrets, chickens, and basically any other critter you can think of. I will absolutely love your animals as my own. I am available on short notice and can do daytime dog sitting. I am able to administer shots, IM injections, oral medications, or whatever special needs your pet may have. I work from home on my 6.52 acre farmette. I have a fenced in yard, a dog door, and a sweet old lady dog who is happy to show the dogs the ropes! I have 5 fenced in acres for dogs to run around and play. I love to spend time outside playing with all the animals I can get my hands on. I’m equipped for horses, donkeys, goats, ferrets, dogs, birds, and reptiles!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind — from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and everything in between. I am the go to dog sitter for all my family and friends! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the time and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I provide dependable care and regular updates!
“Cindy has been so kind and welcoming since the first time we met her. She takes great care of our Lab, Wesley, and we know he will always have a great day with her and Bella. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for being responsive and reliable!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover for as long as I can remember. Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my three senior pups, Molly, Kodi and Abby over the last year. It’s been too quiet without them and I miss having them around to love and care for. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide your pets with plenty of attention, affection, and dependable care while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate your schedule and your pet(s) needs. I’m happy to welcome your pets into my home or make visits to your home so they can remain in their familiar surroundings. I have a big fenced-in back yard if you choose the boarding option. I can also bring them over to my house for the day as well. I’ll care for your pets with the same kindness and attention I’ve always given my own. I do have a very flexible schedule which allows me to provide for your pet(s) needs in your home or mine. Transportation available upon request. I have a safe and private fenced-in back yard in a cul de sac. I also have experience with senior dogs who might need medications.
“Yang took amazing care of Ranger. She sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was at work. She was clearly attentive to his comfort and routine. She also accommodated my early work schedule, which I truly appreciated. Ranger came home calm and happy each day. I would absolutely book with Yang again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful care.”
About: I’m a professional dog trainer with over 10 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and training levels. Dog training and behavior isn’t a hobby for me—it’s what I do professionally every day. What sets my home apart from a typical boarding environment is the experience, structure, and understanding of canine behavior your dog receives while staying with me. I’m comfortable working with everything from puppies and high-energy working breeds to senior dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges, including reactivity and aggression. Dogs stay on my private 1.2-acre property with a fully fenced 6-foot privacy fence, giving them plenty of safe space for exercise, play, and outdoor time. I believe dogs need more than simply being let outside—they need engagement, play, structure, and biological fulfillment. I own and work German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois and have extensive experience with powerful, high-drive working breeds. I understand that every dog is an individual, so their stay is tailored to their temperament, energy level, physical abilities, and needs. Dogs are safely kenneled when they cannot be directly supervised and receive individual attention, play, exercise, and structured time throughout their stay. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can actually see how your dog is doing while you’re away. Whether you have an easygoing family dog, a young energetic puppy, a senior who needs a little extra consideration, or a dog that isn’t appropriate for a traditional daycare or boarding facility, my goal is to provide a safe, structured, enjoyable environment where you can feel confident leaving your dog. Dogs are already a major part of my daily routine. As a professional dog trainer, my days are built around training, exercising, playing with, and caring for dogs, so boarding isn’t something I have to fit around a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. I work from my home and have the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, outdoor time, individual play, exercise, and attention throughout the day. My property sits on 1.2 private acres with a fully fenced 6-foot privacy fence, giving dogs plenty of safe space to get outside and enjoy themselves. I keep a structured routine while also adjusting each dog’s day based on their age, energy level, temperament, physical needs, and what they’re accustomed to at home. Dogs are safely kenneled whenever they cannot be directly supervised and get multiple opportunities throughout the day to be outside, move, play, and engage. Because dogs are part of my everyday life—not something I care for only before or after work—I’m able to be very involved throughout their entire stay. Safety is my first priority. As a professional dog trainer, I understand canine behavior, body language, stress, arousal, and how quickly interactions between dogs can change. I don’t believe in simply putting unfamiliar dogs together and hoping everyone gets along. Dogs staying with me are supervised and managed based on their individual temperament, behavior, and needs. I have the ability to keep dogs completely separate when necessary, which also allows me to safely accommodate dogs that may not be appropriate for traditional daycare or open-play boarding environments. My home sits on 1.2 private acres with a fully fenced 6-foot privacy fence, providing plenty of secure space for outdoor time, exercise, and play. Dogs are safely kenneled whenever they cannot be directly supervised, and I never rely on a fenced yard as a substitute for supervision. Each dog’s routine is individualized. I follow owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, physical limitations, household routines, and any behavioral concerns. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, high-drive working breeds, reactive dogs, and dogs with aggression or other behavioral challenges. I also have German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois working dogs of my own. Guest dogs are not automatically expected to interact with my personal dogs or other boarding dogs. Any interaction is intentional and based on the individual dogs involved. My goal is to provide owners with something I would want for my own dogs: a clean, secure, structured environment with knowledgeable supervision, plenty of individual attention, play and outdoor time, and regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident about where your dog is staying.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Opal is $39 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $47 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 937 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Opal. 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 Opal 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 937 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.
