“Rebecca took care of my two fur babies, Melo and Lola for 10 days while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures and videos on a daily basis. Couldn’t ask for better care.”
“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”
“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!”
“Heather was amazing! She was super accommodating and took such great care of my fur baby while I was away. I could tell my pup was happy and well-loved the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐶💛”
“This was the first time we used Jim for dogsitting in his house. My dog seemed to enjoy her stay with Jim, and Jim sent me pictures throughout the day with updates on how she was doing. I feel comfortable using Jim again.”
“Your pup will have a great time at Ms Jessica's! She is a pleasure to work with - clear, communicative, prompt and provides a fun and enriching time for the dogs in her care. My dog has GRRRREAT time when stays with her! He comes home happy and tired each time.”
“Ann and Rick made my dog Winnie feel right at home and took great care of her during our recent very long day first visit. I received reports and photos during the day, which I very much appreciated. Even though we had done a successful meet and great beforehand and Winnie trotted into their house with only a brief look back, they felt she was a bit nervous and adjusted her day accordingly. I look forward to future bookings.”
“My pup had an amazing day with Audree. Her tail was wagging when she left. It was so nice to see the pictures throughout the day and then see my pup’s face at pick up - confirming her enjoyment. She was comfortable enough to take a long nap on her first stay. That’s really telling me she was comfortable.”
“Christy is everything you would want your Rover host to be. Logistically she checked all the boxes living not too far from major highway I took to my office. Easy to drop off/pick up and get back on the highway again. She responded quickly when I made an inquiry about a weekly daycare hosting for my shy miniature poodle. She demonstrated kindness and patience when our Meet and Greet began later than scheduled. During his stay, Christy texted pictures of Blinky going on a long walk or playing in the backyard. Lovely family took very good care of him. On the second day, I dropped Blinky off, he rushed through the front door without looking back. To me that said a lot because Blinky was not a social butterfly by any stretch of imagination. I can whole heartily give Christy five stars, just for that alone!”

“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Jessica has become our go to for Doggie Day Care. Our dog Missy loves her and so do we. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. She takes wonderful care of our little fur baby. We highly recommend!!!”
About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
“Tamara is very reliable dog seater. Communication and accommodation flexibility is to be dependable. Kingsley had a very good time for being first time for him to be cared by Tamara. We are very happy with Tamara. Thank you so much Tamara for caring Kingsley yesterday.”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and it’s so clear how much she cares for them. She made my own dog feel right at home! I really appreciated all her communication and her flexibility on my pick up time. Will 100% book again. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Corey is so easy to work with - quick responses and was available on short notice and we are so grateful for that! Our dogs were in great care and got walks and loving. Will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I have currently have 2 dogs which I adore so much! I love playing with dogs and love spending time with then and other dogs in my neighborhood on my free time. I will ensure your dog feels at home and will take care of them as if they were my own. I currently work from home full time along with my fiancé. I wake up early to walk my dogs in the Morning before all my work calls and will take them out again usually at noon after my last call. I also have a third person (my mom who’s retired) that is free all day that watches the dogs when I’m in my office. The dogs usually are free to roam around the house and there’s usually a person on all 3 floors. I have a fenced back yard that the dogs can play if they like. I also have a large crate in my basement as well. There are at least 2 people at home most of the day that will watch the dogs play. I am very attentive when I dog watch and will play with the dogs and/or walk them on my free time.
“My dog, Aspen, had a great day with Michelle and doggy friends. I rarely leave Aspen with sitters but she was so happy when I picked her up and napped the entire way home. Michelle was great about sending updates throughout the day. We’ll be going back!”

Toni was AMAZING! This was only my pup's second time being dropped off at an unknown person's home (all because we are moving and had movers coming to pack) and she gave him the attention he really wanted! She made sure he had a good walk and wasn't missing his mom to much!
We had a last-minute trip and were so thankful Rebeca was able to help us out! She responded super quickly, took great care of our fur babies, and kept us updated while we were away. She was also so patient and sweet with them, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely recommend Rebeca and would absolutely use her again in the future. Thank you so much, Rebeca! We truly appreciate you!
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.
We had such a great experience with Camila! Kai can be a little high-energy and still getting into his routine, and she handled him so well. He was happy, playful, and clearly well cared for when I picked him up. She kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind, and even sent him home with a little goodie bag - which was such a thoughtful touch. 💕 I would absolutely book with Camila again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is kind, attentive, and truly cares about your pup.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Potomac Mills 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 Potomac Mills 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 4,675 sitters in Potomac Mills, 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.
