“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!”
“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.”
“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”
About: I have experience with lots of different kinds of pets but dogs are the best! My 8 year old daughter also loves pups! I work from home and am happy to let your dog out, take your furry friend for a walk, throw a ball, or host your bestie when you need a reliable pet sitter. Your pet(s) will have our attention and love - I will not watch multiple families pups unless the pups know one another and get along already. Doggos must be ok with kids. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule. I can come to your house or host your pet at mine. I am also open to hybrid care. Let me know what you’re looking for and I’ll do my best to make any requested accommodation.

You babies will not be left alone or unattended for long periods of time.
“We left our puppy with Dustin for a few hours so he could get familiar with Dexter before we board with him. It was our first time leaving him with other dogs around and was a little nervous. There was absolutely no need! Dustin is great. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and is very professional. Dexter seemed to enjoy himself and was nice and tired! We feel very comfortable with Dexter staying with him while we are away for 3 weeks. Thank you Dustin.”
“Lisa was really good. She was able to accommodate my pet on a short notice and everything went smoothly. She took care of my pet well and he came back home happily. Would definitely recommend her to others..”
About: My family dog that we got when I was in first grade who I named Maggie was a Labrador retriever. She passed away when I was a junior in high school. After that we had a cotton de Tulear named Marley. I now have another loving and friendly dog named Marlo he is also a cotton de Tulear. I have a lot of experience walking, feeding and loving on dogs of all ages and sizes My Home is also a very loving environment for your dog to rest relax and play with lots of toys to choose from and lots of cuddles provided. I don’t work, so I am home the majority of the time. I am currently self-employed, and I am home the majority of the time. I have a very flexible schedule and a healthy routine for any dog. My home is a very peaceful and loving environment right on the ocean so your dog will be walked right next to the water and I also make sure to always take dogs out every 2 to 4 hours, depending on the dogs age and needs. If I am coming to your home to take care of your dog, I will make sure to take him on a long walk play with him and make sure to feed him and have water in his bowl.
About: I've been an animal lover and owner of cats and dogs my whole life. While in college, I worked at a veterinarian's office just to be around pets, and it was the most rewarding and fun job I ever had! I lost my beloved Cavalier two years ago and miss him dearly, but I'm not ready to own again. I really miss having a pet companion and have lots of love to share with your pets. I live next door to a park, and our neighborhood is perfect for walking and meeting other pets. My home is spacious and clean with a fenced back yard. I will love and care for your pet as my own!! I am home every day. I like to get outside as much as possible to garden or walk around my neighborhood, so I would love to have a pet companion with me! I have a fenced back yard and a spacious home. I live adjacent to our neighborhood park which is perfect for playing with and walking pets.
“Cynthia was amazing! She responded very quick to my request and was very responsive when I messaged her. I’ll definitely continue to use to I have her watch my Chloe. Thank you Cynthia 😊”
“My experience with Nicole was very professional and pleasant. Communicating with her was clear and precise, Plus she gave me updates with my puppy throughout the day. When picking up my dog from our home, he was calm and less hyper than he usually is, so I know he enjoyed himself. I plan to scheduled her for more play days when I am unable to be with him for a majority of the day!!!”

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 620 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 620 sitters in Virginia Beach, 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.
