“Taylor is a wonderful dog sitter who has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is incredibly personable and treats my dog, Wynter, like family. Wynter has become best friends with Taylor's dog, Stuffy, and her bagel, forming a delightful trio. Taylor's loving and attentive care has made every experience stress-free for both me and my dog. It's evident that she has a genuine love for animals, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and reliable pet sitter.”
“Beth has been an absolute godsend for us! Our boy Dakota has never been a fan of daycare but he is treated like family while he is there and is happy to see her each and every day! Thank you for giving us peace of mind and caring for our boy!!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love, attention, and care I provide because, to me, dogs are family. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I care for them as if they were my own. With years of hands-on experience and a fur family that includes a Maltese, a Shih Tzu, a Labradoodle, and a Standard Poodle, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention, gentle handling, and a safe, loving environment. My dogs are friendly and get along well with others, and I always require a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and at ease with me and my home. Your furry companion’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide one-on-one attention, potty breaks, walks, and a calm, structured environment. I am mainly open to care for hypoallergenic dogs but also others on case by case basis, so just feel free to reach out. I don’t crate dogs unless requested and am happy to follow your dog’s routine for meals, walks, supplements, or special care. My dogs are trained and well behaved. If your dog needs space from mine, we have a gate that can keep them separated. All dogs must be current on vaccinations, free of contagious illnesses, and on a flea/tick prevention. Also, because my own fur babies are family members who are allowed on furniture and throughout the home, I ask that all guest doggies arrive clean and well-groomed. Please ensure your dog has been recently bathed or is free of excessive dirt, strong odors, fleas, ticks, or other hygiene concerns before drop-off. This is for the safety and comfort of all pets in my care. Please know that I only accept dogs that are spayed or neutered. No exceptions. Thank you for understanding and helping me maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all the doggies in my care.
“Our dog Summer has been having a great time in weekly doggie daycare with Katheryn (and her dog Phoebe). Katheryn is very active with Summer, taking her on multiple walks and to the dog park. Summer loves being outside and sniffing around so this is perfect for her! Katheryn has kept me posted on how the day care went with notes, pictures, and videos of their activities and hanging out at the house. Katheryn also has a back yard where Summer loves to hang out and she can come and go as she pleases. I definitely recommend Katheryn!”
“Gabriela is amazing. She was so professional and detailed when keeping me updated on my pups first doggy daycare visit with her. She sent picture updates throughout the day. My dog looked so happy with her. She is so kind and I am grateful to have found her to take care of my beloved pup for doggy daycare and other Rover services. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a teenager in high school. I love all types of animals and have had my own from mice to a Great Dane to a horse. Currently I have dogs and a bearded dragon. I am currently homeschooling my niece and nephew, so I am home most of the day. If I go to homeschool events I am usually back within 2-3 hours. Having dogs myself, I make sure they have lots of potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs of my own. I have a single family home with two levels so if dogs need to be separated they can be with lots of space to move around still. I also have safety gates separating the living room and kitchen for proper meet and greets, feeding, just needing a break and safety of everyone. Our spare bedroom is currently our “dog” room that has crates, a bed, dogs beds, and all our supplies. All visitors are allowed to sleep on the bed in there, can be used for cage free enclosure, or if the need to be crated in a quiet place. This is a dog loving home, pups are allowed on couches and beds, kids and I love snuggles.
About: My background in Biology and lifelong experience with dogs reflect my deep love for animals. I’m committed to giving every pet patient, loving and dependable care. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication or simply providing companionship, I can make pet care a priority throughout the day. Your dog will be treated like part of the family. We have a small fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, but we also take dogs on regular potty breaks and walks throughout the day to make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and care.
“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!”
About: I love dogs of all kinds. They’re all puppies in my eyes and I cannot help but spoil them. My dog is my trusty sidekick and I’d love to provide care for any dog that needs some love while their family is away. Your dog will be given lots of love in a very relaxing atmosphere with a very loving family especially by our 3 year old toddler who absolutely loves dogs of all kinds! I’m available for a good portion of the day during the day and even evenings so please feel free to inquire about your needs and we can definitely work something out! I have a sweet therapy dog myself so I am totally fine having your sweet pup over here or I can drop by at your place ..whatever works for you!
About: I have a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I completed an Animal care class back in HighSchool and earned an Animal care certificate. I have a little Yorkie! My Yorkie's name is Cookie, she's a bit of a barker! I also have a very spoiled cat! His name is Tito. He is LOVED in the house. Animals are a great company to have around and can truly be a best friend. I am gig worker; therefore, I’m available any time a customer may need a service. It’s just a matter of letting me know in advance to prepare for the client. I’m in a very secured townhouse where they will have freedom to run around and I can crate them if needed be. If clients has a yard, I usually supervise them even if it’s fenced.
About: I’ve spent decades loving and caring for all kinds of animals, dogs, cats, birds, etc, so you can say I’m pretty fluent in ‘pet’! I’m K9 CPR certified, and I also have hands on experience with diabetic and senior pets, giving them the extra care, patience, and attention they deserve. Got a high energy pup? I’m ready to run, play, and burn off that zoomie energy! But really if a 1, 2, or 3 mile run is what your pup needs, then I am your girl! Prefer slow strolls and snuggles? I’m just as happy to take it easy. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Most importantly, every pet in my care gets treated like family with lots of love, attention, and tail wagging fun so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands while you’re away! I'm currently working part time, and can make my own schedule pending your pets' needs. I am available most weekdays between 5am-7:30am, 9am-12pm, and anytime after 3:30pm. Weekends are very flexible. I have a fenced in large backyard in Bristow, Virginia. I have a 10yr old German Shepherd, 'Prime', but have the ability to keep pets separate if you should request.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Gate
My dogs had so much fun at Heather’s! Her dog Romeo was a fantastic playmate for my dogs; she has a big fenced yard so they were able to get nice and worn out. :-) Heather is very attentive to the dogs and carefully watches their body language, behavior, and demeanor to ensure their safety and comfort. She sent great pics and videos as well. I felt confident that my little ones were in safe and caring hands! Will definitely be returning. 👍

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 West Gate 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 4,640 sitters in West Gate, 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.
