“Once again an amazing day of daycare with Nina! Coco has so much fun with Kobe and Maggie, he loves it! Nina is an excellent communicator and her photo and video updates of Coco going about his day are super adorable. We feel very comfortable and at peace leaving Coco in Nina's care. Thank you!”
“Jenn was very easy to work with! She was always quick to respond and understood all my anxious dog's needs. My dog had a great day with her and I was sure she was in good hands. I would highly recommend Jenn for all your pet needs!!!!”
“We had a great experience with LaurieBeth, and our pup Max loved her. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and we felt confident leaving him in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to make sure Max was comfortable and well cared for. Most importantly, Max seemed really happy and relaxed when we picked him up, which says a lot. It’s obvious he enjoyed his time there. We didn’t have any issues at all and would absolutely trust her to watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Sharon did an amazing job with our high-energy lab puppy Luna. Our dog was tired day after we picked her up, which is nothing short of a miracle! Her place is set up very well for multiple dogs, and I appreciated her thorough communication throughout the day and also at pick-up. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Ginger's first stay (daycare) with Ella was a wonderful experience! She made Ginger feel comfortable very quickly, and it was clear that Ginger was well cared for and happy. She came home relaxed and content, which gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you so much, Ella, for making Ginger's first experience such a positive one. I truly appreciate the great care you gave my baby Ginger! 🐾💕 - We are looking forward for the upcoming onboarding :)”
“Jane was amazing. She did more than expected and beyond. I got daily photos and updates. Her daycare space is so beautiful. My dog Maxx had such a great time there. She took extra care of him. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”
“Smitha was very friendly from the start and jingles had no issue feeling safe the minute we dropped him. We were given frequent updates via photos and comments during the stay. Jingles seemed really happy and enjoyed the playtime in their yard. We will be connect with Smitha in the near future for Jingles boarding.”
About: I provide private, personalized care for only one household of pets at a time. I specialize in senior dogs, anxious or reactive pets, puppies, and pets needing medication or additional supervision. Every family receives detailed updates, photos, and care tailored to their pet’s normal routine. I understand that leaving your pet means trusting someone with a beloved member of your family. My goal is for you to enjoy your trip knowing your pet is safe, loved, and receiving one-on-one care that mirrors their routine at home. I intentionally limit my bookings so every family receives my full attention, detailed updates, and personalized care from start to finish. I believe every successful booking starts with honest communication. I work closely with each family before the stay to understand their pet’s routines, behaviors, and any special considerations. This allows me to create a personalized care plan so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for from the moment they arrive. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your pet always gets consistent attention. I’m home often and keep a flexible schedule, making it easy to accommodate different routines, special needs, or last-minute changes. Safety is my top priority. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with supervised care and close attention to each pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being. To provide truly individualized care, I intentionally accept only one household of pets at a time. Your pets receive my undivided attention without the stress of being around multiple unfamiliar pets. My dog, June, will be the only resident pet staying with your pet(s) during their visit. I carefully consider every booking to ensure that all pets are comfortable, safe, and a good fit together. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and special instructions closely while providing regular updates, photos, and communication throughout their stay. Because I provide care in my own home, I thoughtfully screen each booking to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and needs. Before every stay, I ask detailed questions about potty habits, marking, anxiety, energy levels, behaviors, and any special care instructions. This preparation allows me to maintain a clean, safe environment and provide personalized care that helps your pet feel comfortable, secure, and at home.
“Victoria was excellent. Quick, clear communication and very accommodating. Kind and gentle with my old, anxious pup. If I’m ever in her neck of the woods again I’d leave my dog with her without hesitation.”
“My pup had a great day hanging out all day and is totally pooped. Shows how much fun he had at Staci’s! Highly recommend and her pup Cooper is also such a sweetheart. Can’t wait to send my pup over again!”
“Corey is so easy to work with - quick responses and was available on short notice and we are so grateful for that! Our dogs were in great care and got walks and loving. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Wyatt is great! Our dog is very very picky about people but she instantly loved Wyatt! He gave us lots of updates and some pictures, and it seemed like our pup really enjoyed her doggy day care time. We will definitely book again!”
“Dip had a great time with Marcel. We will definitely be a repeat customer. Plenty of yard space, great location, attentive care and walks added up to a good day for Dip at Marcel’s.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waxpool
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 😊
Sumit and Anju were very loving with our energetic young puppy! Their calm and kind demeanor was definitely helpful in making the pick up/ drop off stress free. I enjoyed all the updates and pictures too! I recommend this couple and look forward to having them provide doggy daycare again in the future.
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!
Ashley took really good care of our 9 month pup, Coco. She sends very consistent updates, is an excellent communicator, and her pet, Cannoli, is the most adorable boy. She made sure Coco feels right at home and dealt with his energy with a lot of grace and attention. We're looking forward to boarding with her after doing daycare. Thank you Ashley!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Waxpool on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
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 4,742 sitters in Waxpool, 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.
