“We had a wonderful experience. The fenced yard was great and my pup got along great with Penny. I loved getting photo and video updates. Responsible, caring, and clearly loves dogs. Highly recommend.”
“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: Hello! We’re Shannon and Jorge. We know how important it is to have a trustworthy dog-sitter, so we take the responsibility very seriously. Dogs love being at our house and enjoy all the cuddling and interaction they get here. We love dogs and try to make them comfortable and happy while they may be missing their owners. We’ve cared for so many different breeds, personalities, ages, a pregnant dog, and many puppies (including six that were born in our bathroom!) P.S. Chihuahuas are our favorite! Please note: Drop-offs before 7am will be an additional $15; Pick-ups after 3pm will be charged for an additional day. We are always caring for pets because we have two of our own. Every day of the week, our pets are part of our routine. We have a fenced yard and a comfortable living space for furry friends to roam. If they have a special diet, we can do custom meal plans as well.
About: I've been caring and loving animals since I was a little girl. Have no fear your new 🐕 lover is here to make sure that they have the best care! My 14 year old daughter wanted a job and I just thought since she loves animals so much she could try out rover! She will be supervised but I just wanted to have something for her to do on her free time. Plus she could watch animals and earn money at the same time so its a win win! I am home most of the time during weekdays I will let you know if you contact me and I won't be available. I'm very flexible. If your dog need care I'll do my best to help you so you don't have to stress. I'm home full time. I have a fenced yard. Its dog parks close as well as trails for nice long walks and talks while I care for your pup.
“Vidhi provided excellent care for our Jingles. She shared constant updates and pictures to show how he was adapting. He really seemed to enjoyed his stay with her and I will definitely use her service in the future.”
“Katrina is a sincere, caring, and wonderful sitter. My sweet boy Ziggy had a great stay with her. She was communicative with me throughout and was very sweet to my dog. I will def be using Katrina’s services again. I am so glad that I found her.”
“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!”
About: I have over six years of experience providing dedicated care for dogs and one year with cats, specializing in everything from overnight house sitting to daily visits for walks, meals, and playtime. As a full-time pet care professional, I easily manage multi-pet households and design balanced routines tailored to each animal's needs. I have extensive experience supporting both high-energy puppies who need basic training reinforcement and senior pets requiring extra patience, gentle pacing, and medication administration. I am incredibly detail-oriented, remain completely calm under pressure, and prioritize consistent communication by sending regular text, photo, and video updates. At home, I have a friendly one-year-old Chihuahua mix who loves welcoming new dog companions. While I dedicate my own mornings, middays, and evenings to your animals, I am personally occupied on weekends between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. During this brief window, my wife will step in to care for the pets, ensuring your animals are never left unattended and receive uninterrupted, reliable attention. I am genuinely passionate about animals—the kind of person who always stops to greet a dog on the sidewalk—and we will treat your pets with the absolute love, safety, and respect they deserve as members of the family. Pet care is the central focus of my daily schedule. Because I have a highly flexible routine, I am able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and structured play sessions throughout the day. My mornings start with fresh water, feeding, and an initial stretching walk, followed by regular check-ins and companionship every few hours and an evening walk. On weekends, I dedicate extra time to longer walks, outdoor play, ensuring every guest feels safe, engaged, and fully integrated into a stable daily flow. I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I closely follow any specific feeding schedules, house rules, and instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I provide constant companionship, keep a watchful eye during play, and give plenty of individual attention, affection, and belly rubs so they feel completely safe and loved while you are away.

I have a family of dog lovers and they can assist as needed as well I have a lot of open areas around my house where your dog can enjoy walks and playtime. I have cared for dogs many years and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: My kids (13-19) and I can offer a safe, happy home, companionship and plenty of play time to your furry friend(s) while you're away! Being semi-retired allows me to dedicate more time to caring for pets. I frequently assist friends and family with pet care when they travel. My life basically revolves around my 3 teenagers, volunteering and bike riding when possible. Your pet will always have company in our home, with plenty of walks and playtime. My children, especially my daughters, love and enjoy their companionship.
“Bruno has received the best professional and personal care during his first daycare experience with Ella. We have met a Ella a day before to see how Bruno is going to like the place. Ella got a great big home with fenced backyard, which Bruno felt home as soon as he entered the home. We talked and learned about each other and dropped Bruno with Ella next day. We have received regular updates and photos from Ella to let us know how Bruno is doing throughout the day. He enjoyed his stay and played well with other doggies and don't want to come home when we went to pick him up. Bruno gave a special hug to Ella before jumping back to his car. Whenever we need a day care again for Bruno, Ella would be our first choice. Overall it's a great Experience!”
“Giovanna did a fantastic job taking care of our two little chihuahuas while we attended a wedding! She sent updates through out the night and took the time to learn their little quirks. We will definitely reach out again when we are back in the area!”
“Eun’s communication and responsiveness is top notch! She’s also very flexible and have taken our dog on last minute/same day requests. She also takes great care of our dog, Oscar.”

About: Hi all! I am interested in doing some petsitting to find some dog friends for my pup. I am not a full-time dog sitter, however, I'd like to find some more dogs that my dog will play with & hopefully build some puppy friendships. I live in Leesburg and WFH. I work from home & my dog is cage free all day. We usually do a longer walk in the mornings (between 6-7am) and play outside when it's cooler, then a short walk around lunch time, and another walk around sunset. Bedtime is around 9:30 in our house. Ideally I'd like to find other low-medium energy dogs that play well with my dog and can be trusted to free roam/play around my townhouse while I work. We go out for lunch time play around the neighborhood so good leash manners is a must.
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and currently care for my own two Chow Chows. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions and make sure your furry family member receives the care, attention, and affection they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by providing dependable, compassionate care and regular updates. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I care for my own dogs every day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. My schedule allows me to plan visits and walks consistently, and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or extended care, I’m committed to giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure they always have fresh water and a safe space to rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed on time, receive the exercise and companionship they need, and keep their routines as consistent as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

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 😊
Kelsie has been an absolute gem of a dog sitter for our Juju 🐶 She’s always available whenever we need her, which gives us so much peace of mind. Juju genuinely loves going to her—he has the best time playing with her dog and even her two cats! It’s such a relief knowing he’s not just being watched, but actually having fun and being cared for like family. We’re so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend Kelsie to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!
Amulya is an incredible host! My puppy loves visiting her and is genuinely excited to see her, which speaks volumes about the care she provides. She is responsive, provides plenty of (photo) updates during the stay, and is attentive and keen enough to learn and anticipate her furry guests’ needs and behaviors.
I dropped my precious Clover off in the morning for her first day of doggy daycare with Deborah, her daughter and her sweet dog, Lotus. Deborah was amazing from start to finish with the booking process and the care provided. She sent frequent updates with photos and even a video so I could see how well Clover’s day was going! She was incredibly communicative, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything went well. Clover was spoiled with a lot of cuddle time and clearly felt right at home based on the photos. Clover came home tired from all of the playing and walking, but otherwise happy and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Deborah again for daycare or overnight care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone loving, responsible, and truly attentive to watch their furry family member!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Waxpool is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 4,734 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Waxpool. 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 Waxpool 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.
As of October 2026, there are 4,734 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of VA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
