“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!”
“Han and Patrick were great! My dog is nervous around new people but it was clear that they made him feel at home. They sent lots of pictures and were so prompt with pickup and drop off - always waiting right outside when I arrived! Han was so accommodating with last minute changes to the schedule that I had as well. Dash was well taken care of and we will rebook again!”
“Devora is so kind and accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Trusting your most precious pet with a stranger can be difficult but she was assuring, communicative, kept me updated and I really felt my senior dog with many needs felt comfortable and safe in her care. Many other dog care options have many dogs of mixed sizes and activity levels in large areas where they can play and be very active. But a small, more fragile dog really needs a particular place where they can be safe and comfortable, so Devora’s home really was a perfect fit for this niche that put my mind at ease and allowed my dog to have a stable space he could relax without anxiety at the times we weren’t able to take him along with us. I would absolutely recommend Devora for any pet care services she offers.”
“Andrew is a first class dog professional. Flexible, reliable, and has a true knack with dogs. He helped us out on short notice and we could not be happier. You will be extremely happy that you chose Andrew. 5 stars—easy.”
“When faced with a sudden family emergency, I reached out to Helena & Nathan trying to find a place for my boy, Jackson, for the day. H&N responded within minutes and we were able to work out day care for the day. I can't tell you how grateful I felt knowing that Jackson would be well cared for while I attended to my own family's needs. H&N kept me posted with plenty of photos throughout the day - and those photos really lifted my spirits when we ended up having to put a beloved family cat to sleep. I really can't thank them enough for the support and care they provided...to both me and Jackson. Rest in Peace, Mr. Kitty. You were my father's best friend and brought love and laughter into all of our lives. We'll miss you.”
“Yichen is a great sitter! We had a meet and greet before our first stay so that she could get to know my dog better. I think thanks to that, my dog’s stay went smoothly the next day. I appreciate her flexibility and friendliness, and I can tell my dog enjoys her stays at her place. Yichen has a playful shih tzu named Ube that my dog loves playing with. Overall, Yichen is a 10/10 sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with two dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I've cared for family members' dogs, including senior dogs with health conditions that required administering daily medications and providing extra patience and attention. I've also helped care for friends' young puppies, reinforcing potty training, maintaining routines, and giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm companion, or a little extra care due to age or medical needs, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Also I WORK FROM HOME, makes day caring for your little ones easier. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work from home!! This helps with me being able to give your little one all the care and attention they need, so you can have peace of mind. I have a pet friendly condo where there are plenty of dog spots to walk and play with your loved one. I can crate a schedule around what they’re used to.
“Fantastic time for my pup! We learned she loves cats and now has a new best friend! My dog was having fun being chased around the house by a cat. Catherine was super flexible and very attentive to Cami as well as her whole family.”
“Cindy is the best. I have been leaving my dog in her care since two years and each time he comes back home so happy and I know she has taken care of him like second mom. She send me pictures everyday and always greets me with a broad warm smile! Highly recommend her !”
“Mae is an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout my dogs stay, and was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. She also took my dog on multiple long walks, and he seemed so happy afterward. Highly recommend her services!”
“Highly recommend Mai Anh (Bee) for dog daycare and boarding! She is the most attentive, caring and responsive dog sitter I’ve had. She loves pups like they’re her own and offers total peace of mind while sitting.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for over 15 years. I have animal shelter and rescue experience so I am well versed in handling dogs of multiple sizes and temperaments. Available daily! I work from home during the week and scheduling with me is flexible. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and some holidays. Schedule in advance and I will do my best to work with your schedule. Trust and safety is my number one priority with animals. It is important for all animals to feel comfortable and safe with me as a handler. I will ensure that the dog’s routine is undisturbed as much as possible since animals do thrive on consistency. Please let me know if any special considerations with your pet and I will be happy to accommodate.
“Patrick took great care of Lily, and I always feel comfortable knowing she's in good hands while I'm at work. He is someone I trust, and it's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. Lily absolutely loves coming to his house, and from the photos he shares, she always looks relaxed, happy, and comfortable. It's reassuring to know she's being well cared for and enjoying herself throughout the day. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter or daycare provider!”
“Fritz always has the best time with ManYee and Hannah. It’s a good feeling to see him run to the elevator with her, not even looking back. And I always know he’s in the best care possible!”
About: Since I was five,I grew up with pets and having the responsibility of taking care of their basic and emotional needs to the best of my ability. I'm currently in college and many of the classes I take are online so most of the time I am at home caring for my cat sage! I’m so glad to be able to spend much of my time at home since I get to spend a lot of time with sage! I have a pet friendly house meaning everything in my apartment is safe and secure for the fur babies to run around and play. I also have many toys and treats to offer to any cats or dogs that I do end up taking care of! Sage is also a very friendly kitty and loves spending time with other cats, so it would be like a big sleepover for sage and whichever fur baby stays over!
“Sara was amazing with Blitz, and was available last minute to take care of him for the day. She sent pictures through out the day and was very responsive to texts. Next time I need a sitter I’ll definitely reach out to her. Blitz came back home happy and tired after a long play day”
About: Over the past 20 years, I’ve had three dogs, a Pomeranian, an Akita, and a Yorkshire Terrier. Each one had a different personality, but they were all very attached to me. None of them went to a training school, but they were all well-behaved. I trained them myself before they turned one year old. I currently live in a clean, quiet, pet-free home. There are no pets living in the house at this time, so visiting dogs will not have to share the space with other animals or adjust to another pet’s presence or scent. I only accept small dogs up to 20 lbs and prefer low-shedding breeds. My home provides a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed during their stay. I’m home most of the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone. Big park around the house. Like walk and play with dog. Small dogs need lots of attention and one-on-one care, which is why I only host one dog at a time. I follow each owner’s feeding routine and do not give dogs any human food. Small dogs can have sensitive stomachs, so I believe consistency is important. My goal is to provide a quiet, comfortable, clean, and healthy environment where every dog can feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Kristi-Ann, Andrew and their pup Loki were so welcoming of my crazy mutt! They took him in like one of their own and have a great dog-friendly setup. Thanks for having him on a hot day—he had way more fun than staying at home!”
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals with special needs. I understand that each pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know what helps them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s administering medication, going for long walks, or simply offering quiet companionship, I adjust my care to fit each animal’s age, energy level, and any medical or behavioral conditions they may have. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and well-cared for while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with two dogs and a cat, my daily routine naturally revolves around keeping both my family and my pets happy and healthy. Mornings start with feeding everyone and making sure the dogs get their first walk or some backyard playtime to burn off energy. I scoop the litter box, refresh the cat’s water, and give her some quiet attention—she loves to hang out near me while eat breakfast. Throughout the day, I build in regular potty breaks for the dogs, play sessions, and cuddle time, making sure each pet gets individual attention. I keep a close eye on their behavior, health, and routines, and I’m always available for medication, grooming, or just being a comforting presence. With my flexible schedule, I can provide consistent, loving care and maintain a calm, safe environment for all animals in my home. As a stay-at-home mom, I naturally bring a nurturing, attentive approach to everything I do—including pet sitting. My days are structured and consistent, which means your pet will have a reliable routine filled with care, companionship, and plenty of love. I'm always home, so I can offer constant supervision, regular feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m used to juggling responsibilities with care and patience, and I treat every pet like a member of the family. Whether your pet needs quiet comfort, high-energy play, or a little extra attention due to age or medical needs, I’m fully present and ready to provide responsible, loving care at all times.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Strathmeade Springs
Katie has been absolutely wonderful with Toby! We’ve used her for doggy daycare twice now, and each experience has been great. She’s responsible, attentive, makes sure he gets his walks, and I always feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. The best part is that Toby is consistently happy, relaxed, and calm when I pick him up—which tells me he feels safe and comfortable with her, too. 🐾🤎 It’s such a relief finding someone you can genuinely trust with your fur baby. We love working with Katie and will absolutely continue booking with her. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy to love on your pup while you’re away, I highly recommend her!
Aly is phenomenal! I had two long workdays back to back, so I needed someone I could completely trust with Cheeki, and Aly is always reliable. She sends lots of updates and pictures, keeps track of everything, and I always know Cheeki is in good hand! Cheeki has been anxious around other dogs lately, so I was a little nervous leaving her. When I mentioned my concerns, Aly was incredibly understanding, patient, and willing to work with her at her own pace. It ended up being a great experience for Cheeki, and I had complete peace of mind while I was at work. You can truly tell Aly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Cheeki and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again :)))
This was my first experience with doggie daycare and I have to say it was amazing. The communication was top notch and I truly appreciated the pics and updates throughout the day. Bruno didn’t have any issues with me leaving and must have had so much fun throughout the day he even put himself to bed that night!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby boy.
Yichen is such a good care giver to my Fur baby WALL-E. She's been understanding and mindful of my babies needs. She shows dedication and time. Kept me updated with photos and also monitors with care. Her fur baby Ube is so caring and calm ( matching good energy). I would recommend Yichen to care for your fur baby.

Winnie is a professional dog sitter who did an amazing job with Lily. She kept us updated regularly on how our dog was doing, including details like walks, bathroom breaks, and overall behavior, which we really appreciated. She followed all the instructions we left and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that Lily was well cared for and in great hands. Honestly, she’s the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the near future!
Michelle was especially great for my first time using Rover and Mangos first day care day. She helped me navigate and understand the app and the rules. She also allowed a meet and get, which i didn't think was an option when I first started looking at the app. She suggested I always do a meet and greet. Michelle sent me photos and updates about how Mango was doing. She helped Mango be brave and play with the other dogs and son they were all playing.
Grace was absolutely great with Poppy. She provided us great updates of the day with lots of pictures, which we truly appreciated. She truly cared about Poppy's comfort at her home and followed the care instructions we provided. I have already booked our next session with her. Thank you for taking great care of Poppy, Grace!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Strathmeade Springs on Rover is $46.62 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Strathmeade Springs 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 5,070 sitters in Strathmeade Springs, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
