About: We are a dependable mother–daughter pet sitting team with 30 years of combined pet care and training experience. We have cared for a wide variety of animals, including small and large dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, birds, fish, and other pets. We have puppy training experience and know how to gently reinforce good habits, routines, and leash manners -- through TLC and patience, gentle handling and understanding that every pet has its own personality, pace, and needs. We are energetic pet owners ourselves and are comfortable exercising pets in both urban and suburban settings. We treat every pet with the same loving care, attention, and affection we give our own. Here's a polished 2–3 sentence version: We have had many wonderful dogs over the years and have always loved having them as part of our family but our two beloved senior dogs, Munchie and Charlie, passed away last year and we are not quite ready to turn the page and adopt more dogs. Give us a call if you need trusted, reliable, or flexible pet-sitting, even on short notice! Mom is primary pet sitter, with daughter an apprentice vet often assisting. We are currently working flexible hours and one of us is out of school for the summer, so we have plenty of time and flexibility to play with your pups! We are experienced dog walkers comfortable caring for pets in urban, suburban, park, and country settings. Whether your dog enjoys neighborhood walks, park outings, or a calmer pace, we adjust to each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. For pet sitting in our home, we have a gated kitchen area where pets can stay safely with us, as well as a fenced patio where they can get fresh air and companionship. We can also crate your pet if that is part of their normal routine or helps them feel secure.
“LaurieBeth did such a wonderful job with my pup, Mocha! I dropped off Mocha for doggy day care for the first time and I so appreciated the photo updates to see how she was doing. LaurieBeth was very communicative and Mocha enjoyed her stay. We already can't wait for the next visit!”
“Captain blueberry had an amazing day at Carla's! She got along so well with her dog and loved her family. The outdoor space and the walks. Thank you so much for being good to her, it absolutely made my day so easy, and I am so thrilled to see how happy she was there!”
“Harlie enjoyed her stay! This was our first time with Karen. We received many updates and pictures and Harlie went on walks and was kept busy during the day. Have already rebooked for a weekend stay!”
“Loreen was really patient with Milo, who is a bit skittish around strangers. She took the time to get him acquainted with her house, yards and kids. She and the kids genuinely love Milo and she sent great pictures of his stay at her house. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Toby had a wonderful time with Shiyi, Tyler, and Toto! Shiyi and Tyler were very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos of Toby :) Toto was an awesome playmate as well.”
About: I provide thoughtful, home-based care for dogs who thrive in a calm and structured environment. As a work-from-home sitter, I’m able to give consistent attention, supervision, and a steady routine throughout the day. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety. What sets me apart is that I keep things intentionally small and controlled. I take the time to understand each dog’s needs, and prioritize a low-stress experience with plenty of outdoor time, gentle structure, and a secure fenced yard. I also require a meet-and-greet to ensure the right fit, so every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after.I keep my care intentionally small so each dog gets consistent attention and a calm environment. Doggy care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am able to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day.Dogs in my care are part of a calm, structured routine that includes regular outdoor time in my fenced yard, walks on nearby trails ( My fenced backyard opens directly to walking trails for easy access to outdoor time and walks) along with plenty of time to rest and relax indoors. I build my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure they get a good balance of activity, attention, and downtime. On a weekly basis, I keep things predictable and low-stress, which helps dogs settle in comfortably. I’m mindful about not overbooking, so each dog receives the time and attention they need without feeling overwhelmed. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, their care and routine remain consistent so they feel safe and at ease... When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow each dog’s feeding schedule, potty routine, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Dogs have regular access to my fenced yard for bathroom breaks and outdoor time, along with walks on nearby trails depending on their energy level. Inside the home, dogs are given a calm space to relax and are never left unsupervised for long periods since I work from home. I introduce dogs thoughtfully and only take on a small number at a time to maintain a safe and low-stress environment. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall comfort, and I communicate with owners if anything seems off. My goal is to make their stay feel predictable, safe, and as close to their home routine as possible.
“We are so lucky to have found Kiran! He is very responsive, flexible, and kind. You can tell he really cares about the dogs he watches. Mabel loved her time with him and we appreciated the pic/video updates. Mabel is already excited for her next visit!”
“Fantastic time for my pup! We learned she loves cats and now has a new best friend! My dog was having fun being chased around the house by a cat. Catherine was super flexible and very attentive to Cami as well as her whole family.”
“Jason and Becky are truly two of the most patient pet sitters I’ve ever worked with. Communication was always prompt and clear, and they took such great care of my two dogs—everything felt so easy and reassuring. They also sent me lots of photo updates, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely book with Jason again and highly recommend them!”
“Millie enjoyed her first Rover.com experience with Mario who calmly coped with her initial separation anxiety and a couple of carpet mishaps. He kept us informed during the sit, including photos, and we felt comfortable leaving Millie with him. We're all looking forward to a return visit.”
About: I've always been the family, friend, & neighbor go-to for pet care! I'm friendly, reliable, and I have a huge heart for furry friends. Your baby will be happy and free to roam the home all the time and play with an energetic, pup-friend (my boxer/hound rescue). Daily walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love are guaranteed. I am comfortable administering medicine, and your pup is welcome on the furniture. Any questions just ask! I am a teacher who is home weekends and most school holidays and can pick up/drop off your pet if needed. Last minute & holiday bookings are welcome. I have a large crate and access to smaller crates if needed. Otherwise, pets are welcome to roam free indoors all day & night. I'm in a 2 bedroom, garden-style condo. with a small patio that pups can be on a lead if they like. Otherwise, we can go to a little-known dog park that is grass surface and play for an hour every day (depending on weather). In your home, I can play with your pup, feed, medicate, whatever is needed. Overnights at my home are easy with last minute bookings. Thanks for reading :)
About: I have lovingly taken care of dogs & cats for over 30 years, both mine & those belonging to friends, family & neighbors. From an early age I learned that all animals need love and compassion, and this taught me to always responsibly care for our family & friends' pets. Since then my passion for animals has taken me on a career path as a global wildlife & nature conservationist & photographer. Any chance I get to walk, visit, play with, and care for a pet brings me immense joy. I know how hard it is to leave your pet for a trip or even just for the day to go to work, my commitment to you is that your pet will receive tons of attention, affection and exercise and you can feel 100% at ease. I am available day/evenings during the week and flexible throughout the day/night on weekends. I will make every effort to fit your schedule. I currently work from home, giving me plenty of time and a broad range of flexibility to visit, walk, and care for your pets. Hopefully your pooch can help me get some of my daily 13,000 steps in! I like to send daily updates and photos giving you peace of mind that your kitty or pooch are happy and taken care of, eliminating any worries you may have regarding your pet during your time away. I'm excited about the chance to meet you and your fur baby! When I visit your pet, I hold myself to the highest standard from the moment I enter your home and greet your pet, as if it was my own home and my own pet. I will strive to leave your home in the same, or better, condition than it was at the beginning of my visit or stay. Once I've followed all instructions provided by you (food, water, litter, toys, meds, etc.), your pet is going to get plenty of affection, playtime, and exercise to keep them fed, happy and well-rested until my next visit (or your return). Let me know your pet’s preferences! High energy dog? Let’s go for a long walk or a run! More of a lap dog? Let's read or watch a movie and I’ll make sure we get in some quality cuddle time. Maybe it’s that time of year and your fur baby is shedding everywhere - let me help with the brushing!
“Yichen is a great sitter! We had a meet and greet before our first stay so that she could get to know my dog better. I think thanks to that, my dog’s stay went smoothly the next day. I appreciate her flexibility and friendliness, and I can tell my dog enjoys her stays at her place. Yichen has a playful shih tzu named Ube that my dog loves playing with. Overall, Yichen is a 10/10 sitter!”
“Grateful for Cathy for being so flexible and helping to take care of my crazy Ranger! She is very sweet, showed concern, and I appreciate the insights and observations she made throughout his stay.”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of my small little Yorkie and her dog Sunny was such a gentle playmate! I was so grateful to leave my dog in such a sweet, loving home and will definitely book again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wolf Trap
Millie enjoyed her first Rover.com experience with Mario who calmly coped with her initial separation anxiety and a couple of carpet mishaps. He kept us informed during the sit, including photos, and we felt comfortable leaving Millie with him. We're all looking forward to a return visit.
Ron was wonderful with Jennie! This was our second doggie daycare with him and he made sure Jennie got plenty of run time in his backyard with the other dogs and also took her on a long walk in the park. He shared plenty of photos from her day with him and we could tell she had an engaging and fun day!
Michele was great. Very responsive. Made me feel comfortable leaving my dog son with her. I think he enjoyed it as well because when we left, he paused at the car as if he wanted to go back with her. I definitely look to booking her again real soon. She really seems to care for him just like I do.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Wolf Trap on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of August 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 .

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 Wolf Trap 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.

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.
