About: What truly sets me apart is my deep experience with dogs of every temperament, especially those with special behavioral or emotional needs. Unlike sitters who only know "easy" dogs, I have spent my life caring for a wide spectrum of rescues, from fearful and anxious to hyperactive and aggressive personalities. I treat every dog as an individual, and I have a proven ability to connect, communicate, and build trust with all of them. I've successfully managed daily medication schedules and provided attentive care for senior pets and energetic puppies alike. My friends and family jokingly call me "The Dog Whisperer" because I bring a unique blend of patience, calm energy, and deep love to every interaction. This means that whether your pet is shy, a little reactive, or just needs constant attention, you can rest assured they are with a caregiver who understands them. Pet care is not a side job, it is part of my daily routine and a priority. I am a stay-at-home dad, so I can structure my day to ensure maximum availability and dedicated time with every dog. I have a large fenced yard and a four-year-old Basset Hound who loves to meet and play with new friends. I am also the father of two elementary-aged kids who will give your pet all the love they could ever hope for.
“Alex is an amazing sitter!!! Our babies loved being with him and his partner! They both are loving, caring, attentive and most importantly obsessed with dogs. He took care of them, loved them and made sure our babies feel at home. Whenever we are here, he is the only person we would reach out to sit our babies!! And not just the babies, they were friendly with us too!! It was lovely to get to know them and meet them! We got lucky we found them! Thank you so much to both of you for your time, love and care that you gave to our babies! ✨🫶🏻”
About: I’m not doing this as a side hobby—I live this every day with my own pets. I understand behavior, energy levels, and how to keep animals calm, happy, and cared for. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be understood, respected, and spoiled (in the best way). Because I work from home, I’m around throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to handle feedings, walks, and playtime consistently while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard and my 3 dogs play well with others,I also have 2 cats but they stay in one part of the house and usually let the digs do thsir own thing.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I've been dog sitting for over 13 years so I’ve had the privilege of watching many of my repeat sits grow old gracefully. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies who need lots of play, patience, and potty breaks, to sweet seniors who need a little extra attention and a slower pace. I’ve also attended dog grooming school, so I’m comfortable handling different breeds, temperaments, and care needs, including administering medication when needed. Most of all, I genuinely love making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and at home. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched. They get to be part of the family. My schedule is very flexible. I work from home, so I'm available every day of the week to pay lots of attention to your fur babies. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where your dog can let out their zoomies, sniff, play, or just enjoy the sunshine with me. I have puppy proofed rooms with hidden cords(they love those!) I know most dogs live life through their noses so I make sure the floors are exceptionally clean and free of crumbs. I love seeing dogs off leash in dog parks but I have a strict leash-only policy when walking. Your baby is allowed on the couch to get all the belly rubs and baby voices! In your home and mine I'm excellent with following feeding schedules, medication and dosage, potty routines, walk preferences, and any other structure/rules you have so their normal rhythm doesn’t disappear.

“Helen was amazing with Nika. She let me know how Nika was during the day with pictures, which was really cute.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rockbridge on Rover is $21.4 per day (as of September 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 Rockbridge 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 GA 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.

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.
