About: I have had dogs for most of my life. I currently have a 4 year old golden doodle who I got as a puppy and is a very important part of my family. I work from home most of the time, so I get to spend a lot of time with my dog -- playing and going for walks. I am very attentive to my dog. While my yard is not fenced in, safety is a top priority. My dog doesn't leave the house without bring on a leash. I also make certain he is safe on our walks when we're around cars.
“Dale and Karen are truly the best sitters we’ve ever had. They gave our girls the most love and gentle care. They will definitely be our first go-to from now on!”
“Susan was so loving and sweet with my Rosie! She has plenty of walks and she went out of her way to make sure Rosie ate her food. I will absolutely have her watch my dog again in the future and recommend her.”
About: I LOVE animals, especially dogs. I have always been the go to person for family and friends when it came to needing assistance with their pets while they were gone. I currently volunteer at a sanctuary farm and would just love to continue supporting people and pets. I am in the military, therefore i have a funky schedule. I have two days on, two days off, and sliding weekends meaning one week i am off fri,sat,sun. I do not have any kids or other pets currently! I take care of many dogs and cats as well as farm animals at a sanctuary farm but none are kept in my home.
About: I’ve raised 3 dogs personally and have been around pets all my life. I love animals more than humans and disapprove of friendships if they don’t like dogs period.^^ I give 24/7 constant care to the pets. I never leave their side and I play/walk them at least 5 times a day. I take them to the pet park daily. I give the best care for your pets. Interested in opening a pet grooming/training shop in the future so your dog will be in perfect hands, trust me. I’m a simple person. Love animals. That’s it. I can care for the pets 24/7. Never leave their side unless they need their sleep. The attention I give is different because I sincerely have unexplainable love for dogs. I have a spayed dog here so your pet won’t be lonely! She’s very friendly so no need to worry and my mother and sister are also dog lovers so you’re in good hands!!! We have an unfenced backyard with a 25ft tie out cable for the pets to play in. We have a deck on the second floor as well. Dogs will be taken out for walks and pictures will be sent throughout the whole day
“Jessica watched our dog, Chai, for a few hours yesterday afternoon. Jessica was very warm and took great care of Chai, taking her on a long walk during the short time she was there. Chai seemed really happy and comfortable with Jessica when we picked her up. We will definitely use Jessica for pet sitting in the future!”
“Our sweet boy Stacey had a great time with Eun and her other pups. Two walks per day, great pictures and videos made us smile. We’re totally pleased with this Rover connection.”
About: I’ve had the pleasure to help my friends and family with their fur babies. They’ve put my trust in them by showing love and attention to their pups. We are very flexible with our time for the fur babies and adjust our routine if needed. My partner and I have a flexible schedule and work around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced backyard. My dog and always use a friend! Flexible to move things around the house for your pup, and to make them comfortable.
About: With over 5 years of hands-on pet sitting experience, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and small animals of all temperaments, and I’m especially comfortable with both energetic young pets and seniors who need extra patience and gentle handling. I have experience with basic training reinforcement for puppies (such as crate training, leash manners, and routines) as well as administering medications and monitoring health for older pets. What sets me apart is my focus on consistency, safety, and clear communication—I make sure pets feel secure in their routine while keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care. I have a flexible schedule that lets me accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. I plan my day around the pets in my care to ensure they receive timely walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship. Whether it’s a regular weekly schedule or last-minute requests, I do my best to be dependable and available, including weekends and holidays when many owners need extra support. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I work in. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and house rules—so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar space. I keep a clean environment, secure doors and gates, and stay alert to any changes in behavior or health. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, playtime, and a quiet area for rest. I make sure all pets are introduced carefully (if applicable), and I never leave them unattended for long periods. I also maintain clear communication with owners, providing regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Loved Smitha and Family. She was amazing with Luke. Luke was thrilled to go back the following week. I was stress free when Luke was with her. She kept me posted and her kids were great company for him. Thank you Smitha for helping both mom and Luke with our own versions of separation anxiety 😊

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Watson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,460 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Watson. 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 Watson 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 4,460 sitters in Watson, 86% 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.
