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.
“Book without delay!! Benji proved to be a communicative, responsive and kind host for our pup, Cooper. Cooper had a great time in his care, evidenced by lovely pictures of fun play time activities & a happy and tired dog at day's end. :) Looking forward to rebooking Benji again.”
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.
“My son just adopted Cash a few weeks ago and we were not very familiar with Rover. But it was a great experience and Edina was fabulous. Thanks for taking good care of cash and sending the great pics as well!”
“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 has been truly amazing to Oreo. We are very happy to have her. She treats Oreo very well. He gets really excited when we pull into her driveway. She’s very flexible and I would recommend her for your pet.”
“Jim has been our go to guy every single time we're traveling. We always know that leaving the pups with him means they'll be cared for and get plenty of exercise while they're at it. We usually get Winnie and Ollie back happy, healthy, and exhausted from playing all weekend. 100/10!”
“Eddie was very happy with his visit to Heather, she kept him busy (which he loves) and showed him all the attention he craves as well. Highly recommend Heather for everyone's fur babies.”
“Yulissa was very friendly and really cared and took care of my pup while I was away. She was also very flexible and was able to accommodate a schedule shift when my plans went a bit longer than expected. 10/10!”
“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: 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.
“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.”
“My puppy had a great time at Mai’s house. My puppy likes playing with other dogs. I bet that my puppy enjoyed playing with them a lot. my puppy was very comfortable there, because my puppy understands Japanese and English. I am very happy to find Mai who I can trust. I will continue taking my puppy to Mai. Thank you !!! See you soon”
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
“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.”
“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: 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.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Yocum
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,768 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 2,768 sitters in Yocum, 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.
