“I recommend Loreen to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! She made my dog extremely comfortable and was able to accommodate to our last minute time changes. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Tofu the next time I’m out of town!”
“Nandini has been an excellent dog sitter! She kept us updated with periodic photos and messages about Leo, and we could tell that he was super happy and comfortable at her place. She gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel that Leo was in safe hands, so we didn’t have to worry about him at all while we were away. Nandini is pleasant, welcoming, caring, and very easy to work with. We truly appreciate the wonderful care she gave Leo and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
“Yichen is such a good care giver to my Fur baby WALL-E. She's been understanding and mindful of my babies needs. She shows dedication and time. Kept me updated with photos and also monitors with care. Her fur baby Ube is so caring and calm ( matching good energy). I would recommend Yichen to care for your fur baby.”
“Shayla is the absolute best! She is a true professional and so warm and awesome. We are incredibly grateful to have found her. We have 2 dogs (4 years & 10mos) who both adore her. Our puppy was incredibly shy but just a couple days with Shayla and she really came out of her shell. Shayla has such a natural gift for caring for animals and her house has an awesome yard and secure setup. We let her know about our concerns about our older dog being an escape artist and she walked us through the various measures in place to ensure his safety including she has even worked on threshold manners when him so he doesn’t walk through the door until he’s told it’s okay to. She also knows just how to manage my puppy’s anxiety and doesn’t see her anxiety as a hassle but is instead so empathetic and dedicated to building her confidence. She introduced our dogs to her dogs over time and in a way that didn’t stress my puppy out. She takes them on lots of walks and they come back from day care happy and tired!”
“My dog went to Amy’s house for doggy daycare and had the best time! Amy was very responsive to my initial request and all of my questions. My dog is often scared of new people, and Amy was very patient and understanding when we arrived. Amy sent me an update and picture of my dog during the day. She took my dog on multiple walks and even a trip to the dog park! When I picked my dog up, my dog insisted on walking back to Amy with a happy, wiggly body and wagging tail to get goodbye pets from her. What a great day! Thanks for taking such good care of my fur baby, Amy! We can’t wait to see you again!”
“Peace could not have had more fun with Michelle and Cinnamon running around in their very spacious back yard. It was a rainy day, but Peace didn't want to come inside. Michelle did a great job communicating to me and made sure Peace was dry when I picked her up. I seriously haven't seen Peace so excited about a daycare visit.”
About: I grew up raising and training our family dogs and am currently at home during the day with my own young Labrador, Ellie, who loves other dogs. I have professional dog walking and pet sitting experience. I worked with an excellent pet sitting/dog training company in the DC area and gained valuable experience there. I have worked for myself as a dog walker/pet sitter in the DC/Northern Virginia area. I have basic pet first aide and ongoing obedience training experience. I have easy access to beautiful wooded areas for hikes and local neighborhoods for walks. We have a local dog park nearby as well. I am reliable and responsible. I take notes on the details you provide about your dog’s needs and give you feedback on our time together. I love to share photos. I can care for older dogs, give meds and work with special needs. I have experience with a wide range of breeds. My dog socializes well with others and enjoys company. I am detail oriented and attentive to individual pup’s needs. I also have experience with cats as both an owner and a sitter. I have time at home during the day with my own pup, Ellie, to do multiple walks and to provide company and playtime. Best if your pup likes dog company. Update to dog visiting services: I need to keep drive times down so I know I can be on time for your pet, so it’s best for regular visits if we live within 3 miles of one another. I can also come with a sweet, energetic, young Labrador who loves other dogs. Pet sits: I can accommodate your dog’s needs to help them feel at ease. I can provide one on one attention, activities and just time to hangout. Since I don't have a fenced yard I do walks and playtime throughout the day. It’s best for everyone if your dog has good leash manners. I also have toys to play with and indoor games. In addition to regular walks and potty breaks I can add in drives to visit local parks, dog parks, and longer hikes on nature trails depending on each dog’s comfort levels. Dogs have free range at home and my dog is happy to share space with others. I also have a comfortable, enclosed play area to create some separation if pups need a break. I keep dogs separated at meal times to avoid conflicts and only follow the diet you provide.
“Ninfa did a great job. She is so careful and aware of healthy care for your dog. I can tell my dog enjoy being there and enjoyed their walks. I will definitely continue to use Ninfa.”
“We have had Jojo with Owen all week. He has done a great job. No issues. Jojo is very active high energy dog. She comes home not tired but less high energy. Which is really hard to do with her. Again Owen does his best, I’m highly impressed.”
“Desiree did a wonderful job watching my puppy. She sent updates and even had a nice raincoat for her to wear since I forget hers at home. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer. God Bless.”
“Rio loved spending the day with Jose Luis! I received regular text and picture updates, and Jose Luis was always quick to respond to messages. Definitely recommend!”
“Mariam was friendly, communicated well and took very very good care of our puppy. Tilly had the best time playing with her dog, Dood. They got along well, and were so tried at the end of the day!! We will absolutely be using Mariam again!”
About: I'm super empathetic and treat pets like part of the family--always looking for ways to make sure they are comfortable and content: fed, watered, walked, patted and played with. I'm free all summer and pretty flexible beyond that. I love spending time outdoors (no matter the weather) and getting all my steps in with cute company by my side! My family loves dogs as much as I do, so they all pitch in loving on our cute visitors. I'm both a human and dog mom. I'll care for your pet like they're my own. At your place, I'll be in and out according to your instructions--your house; your rules! Anything in there other than your pet is not my business--I'll respect your space, no worries. At my place we have a large grassy area out back, a big gated deck for sunning, and sidewalks throughout the neighborhood. We have a variety of gates if any separation is necessary in my house, and your pet can even have the sunny finished basement all to themself if you prefer.
“Vivian was wonderful with our dog! She sent updates and pics throughout the day. She followed our instructions. She also accommodated her with some steps to get onto the couch and made a nice perch for her to look out the window. Thanks again Vivian!”
“Sara was amazing with Blitz, and was available last minute to take care of him for the day. She sent pictures through out the day and was very responsive to texts. Next time I need a sitter I’ll definitely reach out to her. Blitz came back home happy and tired after a long play day”
“Guojin and her husband were excellent!!! I can tell my dog had a great time. They sent plenty of pictures and video and also took him on multiple walks during day care. They are also the fastest responding sitters I’ve ever booked with. I 100% recommend them and will book again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Bella needed to spend 12 hours with Carolina as we moved across town. She appears to have a pleasant stay with plenty of exercise. Carolina had a good home to watch a nervous old dog like Bella. I will very gladly use Carolina on other occasions.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wolf Trap
My husband and I were very pleased with our dog’s first Day Care experience with Karen yesterday. I think the time Karen spent with our dog, Norah, was enjoyable for our dog. Norah adapted quickly to the new surroundings and the other small dogs. Karen emailed us photos and took Norah for walks. Norah had a good time and I am sure she will look forward to going back to Karen’s house in the future. We will definitely be using Karen for dog day care again and boarding in the future. You can tell that Karen really loves dogs and animals. Mary Ellen
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.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Wolf Trap
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Wolf Trap is $39 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $47 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,178 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Wolf Trap. 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 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,178 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
