“Our dog LOVES Benji, his dogs, and his home. We are so glad to have found him. We will bring our dog to him every week for a visit, even just to give him a fun play date. We highly recommend Benji and we hope other dogs with loving owners will get to have the same experience!”
About: "Always do the right thing even when no one's watching." With decades of experience caring for big/small pups, cats, farm animals, Guinea pigs, and more, I offer a cozy & loving environment in my peaceful Cottage-style home for your furr babie(s). I have a big fenced yard for the pups to securely play, run, and a convenient doggy door for their convenience. Your pup will get lots of love and cuddles, guaranteed. ❤️ IMPORTANT: When requesting to book me, you will be promoted to select one of the two services I provide: The first is "Boarding", which means your pup will stay with me overnight for consecutive days in a row and getting lots of love and endless attention 🤗. The second service is "Doggy Day Care", consisting of your pup being dropped off by you (or designated guardian) and picked up that same day by you or guardian of choice. This also means your pup might get to play with other client's fur baby in my home for Doggy Day Care, and not staying overnight. If your fur baby requires overnight care even on a day that is not consecutive, and you prefer they're not around other client's pets but mine (Teddy & Daphne), then the service you want is definitely "Boarding". Happy to clarify this with you during our first Meet'n Greet" and modify the booking for you if necessary. ❤️ Thank you so much 😊 I'm the favorite aunt of many furry babies care for within the safety of my home for friends and families. I'd be so happy to provide the care and love to fur babies needing a getaway while their parents go on vacation :). If you're interested in a house visit or a meet'n greet for your pup(s) to meet my two little pups before booking, that works great! Simply send me a message and I'll coordinate with you :) I am available holidays too!! Warm Hugs! ENVIRONMENT: I have a 0.22 acre fenced yard, a doggy door, a patio with a Ring Camera and sensor lights. I have cameras all around the house as well and will never walk the babies without their leash and harness. Your pups will not leave my premises or be under the care of no one else but me. Depending on what service you need, the pups sleep with me, and will receive endless cuddles, and meals (following the owner's instructions), and will get along with my very two friendly small dogs, Teddy and Daphne.
“Edina was simply amazing with my puppy. She consistently sent pics of how he was doing throughout the day. I will most definitely use her again. She and her whole family loved Bear and he loved them too. I could tell he was enjoying himself with them. Her help was so timely and appreciated. I recommend Edina for daycare pet sitting.”
“We are so thankful to have found Jim. We had a last minute issue finding coverage for our 9 month old puppy for a day trip and he was able to take her for a day care day last minute. He sent us pictures of her throughout the day and she came home super happy and super exhausted. Jim is so accommodative and friendly and we are so thankful to have found him. We are planning to use his services for a longer vacation over the summer. Highly recommend Jim if you’re in need of someone to watch your furbaby.”
“Cindy has been so kind and welcoming since the first time we met her. She takes great care of our Lab, Wesley, and we know he will always have a great day with her and Bella. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for being responsive and reliable!”
“Rachel is very welcoming and displayed a high level of compassion for my fur baby. It was Gigi's first time being around other dogs, so I was slightly anxious. Rachel sent pictures of Gigi's progress throughout the day, which made me feel good. I will be a returning customer!”
“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: A animal lover who truly enjoys taking care of animals (any species). Currently residing with 5 best friends-3 cats, 2 dogs -German Shepherd (female 3 years old) and Amstaff Lab Mix (9.5 years old),of course the cats run the show! I have trained puppies and older dogs basic obedience. I have experience giving medications to dogs as well as wound care. I believe that a safe environment is the most important part when handling animals or being around animals as it creates the necessary foundation for healthy relationships between dogs,cats (other animals) and humans. I’m currently not working and have plenty of time to care for dogs, go on walks with dogs and play with dogs. I am able to provide an environment for doggy play dates in my backyard that is 5 acres fully fenced. I am also able to board dogs, if needed. I have a fenced backyard on 5 acres where your dogs can run free, play with toys, cool off in a pool (during summer time) as well as play with my 2 dogs. I am able to crate dogs if needed as well as take them on walks.
About: As a dog owner myself, I know what it takes to keep one healthy and happy. Constant love and cuddles are a must. I also will also make sure that your pet is well fed when needed. Playtime not only gives exercise but affection at the same time. I will make sure to give your pets enough playtime so that they can sleep peacefully at night. I also have experience taking care of different-sized dogs, as I have taken care of many of my friends' dogs and have left them all satisfied with my work. I guarantee all of your dog's needs will be met at the highest quality. Also, my mother owns a grooming salon so we can give your dog a bath or grooming per your request. I work full time remotely so I will definitely have time to care for your fur baby! I also own a small dog and have other dogs in the house at a time. I have a fenced backyard so they can run around and play for as long as they need. We make sure the yard is clean and will supervise if need be. The dog must be friendly with other dogs. Unfortunately I cannot take dogs that shed
“Taylor was wonderful with our puppy! This was his very first time with a sitter, and she made the experience so easy and reassuring. She was patient, kind, and helped him warm up to her dogs quickly. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We feel confident about leaving him for boarding thanks to how well the day care went. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Emma! Animals have always brought me the most peace and joy so naturally, dogsitting is one of my favorite things! I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, timid pets, and can administer medication. I will treat your pet like the king or queen they are and provide them with love and comfort! I currently am a sophomore in community college with a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet! I have my own transportation that makes my availability open and free. I spend a lot of time getting to know an animal to in-force trust and to create a comfortable environment . In my experience, I notice that this is key to easing any pet that is feeling weary about their owner not being present. This gives me room to follow instructions such as walks, medications, etc. effectively.
“Vanessa and Geoffrey were so kind and professional with the initial meet and greet for doggy daycare. They sent lots of updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. This was our first in-home dog care experience, and we will definitely be back!”

With my experience and education, I’ve developed a great understanding of pet behavior and body language! One thing about me.. I love taking dogs on walks! I believe in giving them plenty of exercise, fresh air, and keeping them hydrated!! Whether it’s a quick stroll or longer, I always make sure to tailor the walk to their needs and energy level!

It’s a stress-free environment for both you and your furry babies! I am also open to grooming services, including nails trims and baths.
About: I’ve spent years taking care of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a long walk! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.
“Our first booking with Rene was wonderful! He took great care of our puppy, who came home tired, yet well cared for! A plus for an energetic puppy! We will definitely be booking with Rene again!”
About: Hi! I am Victoria, a dog mom here in a quiet home in Manassas old town. Cubs is a 3 year old, 6 pounds yorkie who loves to nap on my lap while I work. Cubs will be very happy to share all of his toys, beds, and go on walks together, sniff everything and be lazy with cozy blankies and treats ✨ And I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I’m all about communicating daily and please be aware as I may send too many photos and videos! There will be pee breaks every 3 hrs and dog steps in every room. At the moment, i’m only accepting small dogs that are similar to my dog’s size. I work remotely at home and have a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate to your baby’s schedule and needs. My job is to prioritize happiness/comfort while you are gone, so your dog chooses me over you - (please be aware as that has happened before and saw one of my clients get real sad) I grew up with dogs and cats all my life. So I’m very comfortable with cat/dog care in all stages of their lives. Also, coming from education and child development background (i used to teach in FCPS elementary for 5yrs before pandemic) , I see so much resemblance in teaching children and taking care of animals - rules and routines, along with positive rewards and experiences. And i believe building a trustworthy relationship creates a safe space for anyone or any fur babies. And I’m confident your dog/cat would wanna come back to stay with us. I’m also all about sending quite lot of pictures/videos.
“Tracey is our life saver! We can always count on her to watch our fur baby, Bix. Bix always looks happy with tail wagging when we pick her up, giving Tracey a few hops and kisses before we take her home. Thank you, Tracey, for taking such good care of our dog.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,755 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Yocum. 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 Yocum 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 2,755 sitters in Yocum, 85% 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.
