About: I’ve spent much of my life around animals, including dogs, horses, and owning a farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my routine. I’m very active, dependable, and have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, exercise, and companionship. My goal is to make your life easier and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

I’m very active, dependable, and have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, exercise, and companionship. My goal is to make your life easier and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m home often during the day and have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and play. I also have a large dog crate available if needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide so they feel comfortable, secure, and at home while in my care.
“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!”
“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!!”
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.
“Make sure you ask to receive updates when you want them. Landon is flexible and responsive, with professional communication. Our puppy also seemed happy after spending the day there.”
“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.”
“Cameron is a very thoughtful and conscientious dog sitter. My dog was all stressed out from a move across several states and he would not eat for two days. After just a few hours with Cameron, he was happily playing and ate his entire bowl of food. I was really impressed and so grateful.”
“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.”
“Rachel was awesome with my baby Banjo! This was his first time away from home and around animals, so we were SO worried! Rachel was so kind and kept us updated with lots of pics! I would highly recommend Rachel! We will be back for sure!”

“Shawn is the best dog sitter you could ask for. He is amazing with communication and very consistent. My dog loves it here with him and always has an amazing time! I highly recommend!!”
About: I provide a safe, loving, and dependable home where pets are treated like family. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so I make it my priority to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering oral medications if needed, and maintaining your pet's daily routine to help them feel at home. I believe every pet deserves individualized attention, plenty of affection, exercise, and playtime. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine.

I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care requests to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home.
“Camryn was awesome with our puppy and enthusiastic about taking care of him. She even found his puppy canine after we picked him up and offered to return it if we wanted it ❤️. We will be using Camryn again in the future. Thanks!”
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 580 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.
As of October 2026, there are 580 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 .

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 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.
