“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: I have had all different types of animals since I was a kid. For the past several years I have spent time fostering cats and dogs as well as adopting my own dog, (who is blind), Willow! I currently have a work from home job that allows for a flexible schedule and availability that can fit the needs of you and your animals! They will be given attention throughout the day and walked as needed. I am home all day to monitor the animal(s) and I have toys, crates of different sizes and gates if they are ever needed. Local to several nature trails and dog parks as well as many dog-friendly establishments that I frequent in warmer weather!
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.
“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!”
“I have complete trust in Deb. She treated by baby with such care. She went over the top!! She walked my dog twice in a short stay. Sent me pictures and texts. I was a bit late and Deb was understanding and chill. I couldn't be more happy with the treatment my dog received. I highly recommend Deb to everyone!”

“Lana had a great time and was well cared for during her time with Susan! I could see how much fun she was having when I picked her up and that she was happy, so I know she had a good time :)”
About: I’ve dedicated my life to dog care in every way. Ima trainer, breeder and enthusiast. I also have some vet knowledge. Your fur baby will be well taken care of. I have a lot of free time during the week considering my job is pet care , so your fur baby will get all the attention needed. I have a spacious backyard , clean home and when we go on walks the fur baby will be leashes and secured. You can trust me I’ll treat your baby like my own.
About: I grew up with dogs and helped train one from puppyhood, gaining hands-on experience with obedience and daily care. I also regularly dog sat for my neighbors, building trust with both pets and their owners. While I’m currently in college and don’t have a dog of my own, I stay active by volunteering at a local animal shelter, working with dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I have very open availability over the summer and can be flexible to meet your dog’s needs. I do occasionally spend time with family about an hour away, but I always plan ahead to ensure I’m fully available and committed to any bookings. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs, providing a safe and social environment for visiting pets. Dogs in my care get plenty of outdoor time, play, and supervision
About: We’re a husband-and-wife team with a lifelong love of animals and years of experience caring for both dogs and cats—especially rescues. We’ve worked with anxious and reactive pets, administered medications, and provided the extra attention they need to feel safe and comfortable. Our own family includes a 65lb rescue Foxhound and a rescue tabby cat, so we understand the quirks and joys that come with rescue pets. Audrey works from home full time, and Shane is a teacher, which means we have a flexible schedule and your pets won’t be left alone. We’ll make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved like our own. Audrey works from home full time and Shane is a teacher, so someone will be home with your pet at all times. We make it a priority to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Our typical day looks like this: 6–7 AM: Wake up, potty break in the yard, and breakfast 12–1 PM: 45-minute walk 4–5 PM: Playtime in the yard, potty break, and dinner 8–9 PM: Final potty break in the yard before bedtime For dog boarding: Our dog loves meeting and playing with other dogs, so your pup will have a built-in playmate. Our cat will always be kept in a separate room to ensure everyone’s comfort. Since Audrey works from home full time and Shane is a teacher, your dog will always have company and supervision. For cat boarding: Your cat will enjoy a private guest room set up just for them, complete with a litter box, cat tree, toys, and all the comforts they need. To help them feel secure, one of us will spend time in the room during the day—often working from there—so they’ll have companionship and attention throughout their stay.
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 - Zouave Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 4,463 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Zouave Hills. 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 Zouave Hills 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 4,463 sitters in Zouave Hills, 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.
