“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!!”
“Nichole was extremely professional and very sweet to my baby girl. Bella seemed to be in a great mood when I picked her up from the doggy day care! Thank you for being so quick to respond to messages and so attentive to Bella! See you soon, Nichole!”
“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!”
“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.”
“My puppy had a pleasant experience with Landon, who kept him for a full day while I had to work. Setting up my appointment with Dalton was very easy and my pet wasn't good hands with him during that time. I plan to continue to work with Landon for future play dates with my puppy, and I highly recommend his services!”
“Absolutely LOVED HER. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, I loved her availability was open and ready to take her in for care immediately when we messaged. When I come back to visit I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Knowledgeable, considers personalities when letting the dogs play together. Let’s the dog approach him initially instead of rushing a connection. Would highly recommend”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 9 Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. From the smallest puppy like the Yorkshire to a bigger friend like the husky. I’m currently a college student, and since we all know is the very peak of summer, so my schedule is cleared up for me to be apart of your dogs day, I can start from 6am everyday since that’s the time my dog wants to wake up. I have a fence yard, and a dog (he’s name is Paul Anka) he is two years old and he is trained by me, he is very friendly, in case you’d like your dog to have some dog friend, and if you don’t, my dog has his own space where he can stay, hope to see you and your baby soon.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and now have two dogs of our own, an Australian Shepherd (almost 5) and a Pointer/ Lab mix (10). We have a huge fenced in back yard for pups to run around and potty. We treat dogs like family so they’re allowed on the furniture and we have plenty of dog beds around the house for them to get comfy!
“Janelle was amazing with our pups! We really felt comfortable dropping them off with her, she was really kind, and you could tell she was well experienced with dogs. Our boys seemed to have a great time and were tired when we got back home. I appreciated the photos and video updates as well!”
About: An animal lover from childhood, I have had a pet for nearly my whole life, and have been a pet sitter to many friends and neighbors through the years. I have experience taking care of cats and all different sized dogs, and am willing to do whatever is needed to accommodate their routines. I live in a good neighborhood for taking walks, and have a fenced yard. I have a husband and two children (who are ages 6 and 10) who are also animal lovers. Your pet will get all the exercise and love that he or she wants until you come home! If I am visiting your pet at your home, I will also take good care of your home until you return. In addition to loving care for your pet, I can bring in your mail, take out your trash cans, water plants, and will take care to make sure your home is locked and has the alarm enabled if necessary.
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.
“Kristynah is the best dog sitter anyone could ask for. Knowledgeable, extremely caring, and gives the best updates plus takes beautiful pictures of your pup. I love it when she is available to watch my puppy because I know he is in good hands. 10/10”
“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!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, including recently providing hospice-level care for my paralyzed Great Dane. His care required constant attention, patience, mobility assistance, and adapting to his changing needs each day. I even modified a wheelchair for him so he could continue enjoying walks and time outside comfortably until he passed. That experience deepened my understanding of how important trust, attentiveness, and compassion are when someone leaves their dog in another person’s care. Whether your dog is young and energetic, anxious, senior, or needs extra patience and support, I treat them with the same level of care and attention I would want for my own. I’m dependable, communicative, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs — not just “checking a box” for walks or visits. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, so walks and one-on-one attention are something I look forward to. Because I work from home, I’m also able to closely monitor pets, stick to feeding or medication schedules, and provide updates and communication so owners feel comfortable while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I adjust my care based on their needs — whether that’s long walks and playtime, calm companionship, extra patience with anxiety, or slower-paced senior care. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I follow feeding schedules closely, make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and attention, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pet is doing well. Because of my experience caring for my paralyzed Great Dane, I’m also very attentive to details and comfortable with dogs who may need extra support, patience, or monitoring. My goal is always for pets to feel secure, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.

“Chrystal was absolutely amazing. Outside out taking wonderful care of my puppy and family member, she asked questions before I arrived to make sure she was prepared for the pup and she keep me updated on the pup throughout the day so I never had to worry about a thing. As a first time pet owner, I would recommend her a thousand times.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Pungo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 566 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 566 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.
