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 always had a special love for dogs and truly enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and affectionate. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of attention! 🐶🤍 I am currently working from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pets. I’m able to provide lots of attention, and companionship throughout the day. Your pup will never feel alone. I live in a comfortable, pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of outdoor space for walks and a dog park in the community. I can provide frequent walks, potty breaks throughout the day.

Words can't describe how awesome my experience was putting the care of my puppy in Zack's hands. As soon as I drop them off, he felt so at home,and it was clear to see that my puppy will be in good hands!! When picking him up, he was in a great mood! I brought him home, and he fell as straight to sleep. Zach's dogs played so well with Carmelo, and I look forward to setting up another time for him to spend the day with them! I look forward to the next play date Zach's house with his dogs, and I recommend anyone ,who wants their dog to be in great hands to choose him as a handler.

Monika is the best! I’d never used Rover before and needed a monthly sitter for my puppy ASAP. Monika took great care of Luna, sent lots of pictures & updates, and sent Luna home happy and tired. I cannot recommend her more!

Landon was so helpful when we came to VA Beach to visit family and needed someone to watch our dog in a pinch! He was communicative, responded quickly and really gave us peace of mind that our dog was safe while away from us. Our dog had a BLAST with Landon and came back tired and happy after hours of playing.. always a sign of a good day for a dog. If we’re ever in Virginia Beach again we would definitely utilize Landon!

About: I have loved & cared for animals my entire life! I have always had dogs myself, including high energy pups. With a Bachelor of Science in Biology, I have experience in fields such as animal behavior, veterinary medical terminiology. Overall, my background provides me with knowledge in preventative healthcare practices, as well as compassion & love towards animals for as long as I can remember. From new born puppies to elderly doggies, I love to help with them all! I can administer medication and feed meals if necessary too. Would love to help you and your pup soon :) I am a recent college graduate currently looking for full time work. I was born and raised in Virginia Beach, and absolutely love helping animals! It's something I have been compelled to my entire life. As I pursue the next chapter of my life and determine exactly what I want to do next, I would love to be there for you and your pup! I am currently available Monday through Sunday most weeks, other than a few upcoming travel dates. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from overnight or daily dog-sitting, to typical feeding & walking routines. I'm used to a fenced in yard when letting dogs out to go to the bathroom, but I also have experience taking outside on the leash in apartment complexes, condos, and other living areas. I'm well versed in feeding dogs, and the many different applications owners use. I can ensure paws are wiped clean if need be. One of my pups is an eczema girl, so I can apply creams or moisturizing sticks to sensitive areas and paw pads also - if needed! I have some dog training experience (and will be working to gain more), so I can help enforce specific rules or training tactics that have already been introduced to your pup, in order to help form the habit! With my medical background, I can administer medication. I am comfortable taking dogs for a walk at the beach, the state park, nearby parks/neighborhoods - wherever you feel that your dog will be most comfortable & confident! Inquire directly for additional fees if traveling for a walk is considered.

About: I recently got married and moved to the area. I’m a Virginia tech animal science grad. I have worked in a boarding and daycare facility the past 2 years. I also have some dog training experience from college and in the kennel facility. Upon request I can offer training sessions for your pups. I recently moved to the area and still looking for a job that’s a good fit for me. In the meantime your pups will have all my free time! I have plenty of experience working with all types of dogs, including ones that are nervous greeters, food aggressive, barrier reactivity, leash reactivity and more. I understand every dog is different and will always work to make your dog comfortable in any environment. Big advocate for always having treats on hand and reading their body language at every interaction.

About: Hello! My name is Danielle and I've been caring for pets my entire life! I have been raising, training, and pampering my own babies for the past 10 years and providing local services to friends and neighbors. I'm highly experienced with all dog sizes, especially giant breeds (the bigger the better!). I can provide boarding, sitting, training, walking, grooming, specialized feeding, medication administering, and even first-aid if needed. I even have experience with pet hospice care through a local shelter. A little more about me personally: I have 3 dogs, including 2 Great Danes and a Golden Retriever. I also have 3 very demanding cats. So you know I'm well-versed in handling the crazy, and will treat your baby just like my own! Pets are the center of my world and yours will be too. I work from home and can provide round-the-clock care and attention during boarding and daycare. I'm currently working part time and looking for additional pet care opportunities to fill my days, since it's something I truly enjoy doing. I have a large house with gated rooms for separation, medium and giant sized crates if needed, and a large backyard with a 6 foot brand-new fence. The upstairs is gated off for the cats' comfort (and so they can watch and judge from above). In my home, I allow animals on the furniture, unless you wish me to keep up with training that teaches them otherwise. And I have gated feeding areas and an entire pet first-aid cabinet in my kitchen for emergency situations. Water bowls are provided inside and out, and dogs are supervised when outside. In client homes, I like you to set the rules. I'm happy to go about treating your babies as I would in my own home, but if you have specifications you'd like me to follow, I'm more than happy to learn what those are and follow them for your needs.

Wendy was very communicative and flexible when I needed to adjust drop off time to ~15 min earlier. She took Risotto on 3 walks so he was nice and tired when we picked him up. Her home is conveniently located and her neighbors also have dogs. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone needing a dog sitter!

Jessica was so sweet and accommodating. She was flexible with us even till the last minute. We were heading to an air show and needed our puppy to be taken care of as the jets were too loud for our pup. Lindsey was so sweet with puppy MAX. She took pics and made sure we knew puppy was in good hands. Thank you Jessica for a great puppy day...Puppy Max says THANKS!!!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Virginia Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Virginia Beach on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 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 .

As of August 2026, there are 600 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Virginia Beach. 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 Virginia Beach 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 600 sitters in Virginia Beach, 88% 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.
