“Tiana was so amazing!! I was moving to the area that day and had a lease meeting and needed a last minute dog sitter. She had a very quick response time, was super sweet and my babies were happy and healthy! Can’t wait to use her again!!”
“She (and her family) were so awesome! I booked same day and she was so accommodating for the day care. Even though it was only for four hours I got consistent updates and pictures and I wasn't worried for a second about Lucha.”
About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Growing up with both dogs and cats, I gained early experience in pet care, which later extended to looking after pets for friends and family. Now, as a dog owner myself, I’m confident and comfortable handling a wide variety of breeds and attentive to any special needs they may have. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, I have the time and availability to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’d love to spend my free time helping you by giving your pets the love and attention they deserve! I don’t just focus on getting the job done—I make sure your pet has a great time too! I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities!
“My first rover experience! Landon was very accommodating, responsive (messaged back almost immediately whenever I contacted them), and put my mind at ease with their professionalism and sincerity- as it was my first time using Rover, and I was a bit nervous! My girl, Mochi, had a great time, and I was thankful she had a friend to play with, since she is made of pure energy, and I was grateful Landon would take her for the day since many Rover sitters don't watch dogs that are not yet fixed. Since Mochi is only 7 months old and not in heat, I had not yet spayed her, so I was glad (after an hour of searching) I found Landon! Thank you again for your communications, updates, and wearing my pup out!”
“Isabela had a wonderful day playing with Delilah at Nina's house. I received lots of photos and a nice update. She came home so tired (exactly what I wanted). Nina was wonderful with her and we will definitely use her again! Thank you so much.”
“Nichole was awesome with my Husky Skye! She was very attentive and kept me updated throughout the day with how she was doing as well as sent pictures! I would recommend her to any of my pet parent friends!”
About: I have been taking care of my friends’ dogs of every kind for years and have a love for fur babies. Myself and my husky girl Skye work from home and therefore have tons of time and love to afford to your babies! Skye loves other dogs of every kind and we have a house with a fenced backyard for plenty of play time! I decided to do Rover because I know how picky I am when it comes to allowing anyone else to watch Skye, which is why I know how important empathy, compassion, and attention to detail is when choosing a trusted pet sitter. I work full time from home so I will be home pretty much all the time with the fur babies! I know how important it is for pups not to be left alone as my Skye girl has seperation anxiety. The same attentiveness and care I take for her, I take for your babies as well! I live in an end unit townhome with a fenced backyard. Being a husky owner I keep my home sealed tight unless it’s potty or play time due to my husky’s natural instinct to be an escape artist. I like to take my husky girl Skye on walks before and/or after my work from home shifts to ensure plenty of exercise and throughout the day while I’m working she typically likes to sunbathe, people watch out my front windows, play outside in my fenced backyard, or take big time naps on one of the many dog beds or couches I have.
“I can't say enough good things about Dustin. I met him this morning when I dropped off Blaze, my 4 month old lab. We spent a good amount of time talking as my boy was introduced do some of the other dogs. He answered all my questions, gave me plenty of tips & suggestions for specific situations and things I had planned for the future. He really put me at ease which is saying a lot because I don't have a ton of dog experience. When I picked Blaze up this afternoon Dustin showed me a few videos he took, we talked a bit more about puppies in general, etc - I could go on and on. Suffice it to say it's clear he enjoys working with our furry friends, he's really good at it, and I intend to bring Blaze for more visits soon, maybe some training too.”
“Yulia was truly an answered prayer! I had to find a sitter last minute for my dog and she accepted instantly. She not only took my energetic pup on 4 walks, but also took him to go play, snuggled with him, anddd took the most amazing pictures of him. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my buddy with her - he had the best time! He was already falling asleep in the car by the time we were halfway home - he clearly had the best day ever! I highly recommend Yulia to anyone who wants a sitter who will care for and love your animals as if they were their own ❤️”
“Katja and her family took excellent care of my sweet one. Katja is very responsive, diligent and caring, providing equal loving care and attention as she does to her own pets.”
About: I love dogs and have taken care of our family dog. I understand how precious they are and how they deserve to be treated with compassion and love I'm newly retired and would love to provide love and nurturing care to your sweet furbaby! Plenty of space and a large fenced yard! Plenty of rubs and walks I have a plenty of room, a large fenced yard and a friendly senior dog. I am usually asked by neighbors and friends to care for their dogs for short term or long term
About: I’ve had many dogs since I was a child and have experienced many differing personalities and needs among dogs. We have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room for play and two pups who are ready to make new friends! I work from home full time so I am able to interact with the dogs during the day and make sure they get all the attention they need. Prefer a dog visit prior to sitting to ensure compatibility with our dogs. Our dogs are kind and playful, but can sometimes be protective of the home so visits ahead of time help greatly to ensure compatibility. I have an acre-large, fenced-in yard that provides plenty of space for dogs to run around and play. We have tennis balls and toys that we throw for them so the dogs can have a fun experience. We also have 1x crate in the event your dog is still a puppy or prefers an enclosed space overnight. For first time visits, we will introduce the dogs through our backyard to make sure all dogs have space and time to adjust to each other.
“Benjamin had a great day with Janelle, and we were able to get out and take care of our business in Virginia Beach knowing that he was in a safe, loving environment. We will definitely book Janelle again!”
About: Hi, I’m Serena. I have two cats and one dog, with many years of experience caring for pets, including senior animals. I’m patient, gentle, and reliable, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals.I have a flexible schedule and offer pet boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m home most of the time with a flexible schedule, so I can provide plenty of attention and care for your pets. I’m happy to follow their routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a clean, pet-friendly home and a fenced yard. I only accept vaccinated dogs and keep a calm, supervised environment with lots of love and attention.
About: My home can offer you the level of care and attention you want for your pet. I’ve always believed dogs shouldn’t just be “checked on”—they deserve attention, interaction, and a sense of comfort while their owners are away. Your pet will be loved on as if he/she were my own. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have raised several from puppies through their senior years, including a rescue, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. My home is very pet-friendly, with a large backyard for play and space to relax. I also have a 5-year-old lab and a young child, so safety is a top priority. I only accept dogs that are gentle and a good fit for a family environment. My goal is simple: to give your pet a safe, calm, and genuinely cared-for place that feels as close to home as possible. I am currently working part-time, so I am home frequently. My roomate and I often work together to care for your pets, so they won't be left alone for long periods of time. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm available 24/7 unless I am going out of town. I usually work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 5pm-10pm. I prefer drop offs no earlier than 8am, but I can accommodate if needed. I prefer to do a meet and greet before overnight boarding. I cant always accommodate last minute bookings, but don't hesitate to reach out. I have a large fenced in yard, one very playful 5 year old lab, and a friendly toddler. My dog has free rein of the house and yard. When I am home, I leave the back door open so she can come and go as she pleases. When I leave, I can separate the dogs and crate as needed.
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! This was first time using Rover and what a great experience! She took great care of our baby boy. We could not have asked for more. She made our trip work and I cannot thank her enough!”
“Sherry has been so amazing to both my dogs. They go to daycare with her daily and come and leave so happy. Sherry provides updates and pictures of my dogs playing and getting a lot of love.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 589 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Pungo. 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 Pungo 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 589 sitters in Pungo, 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.
