“Melinda may be the best pet-sitter we have known. She is thoughtful, thorough, and caring -- and a prompt communicator. Melinda came to our home for overnight stays for our two medium-sized, often-enthusiastic mixed-breed dogs, and provided the peaceful environment that they needed. We were welcomed home by two happy pups and a home in pristine condition. We highly recommend Melinda!”
“Perry is the best! She sends videos and pictures so you can love on your baby from afar! Our dog had the best time with her and we know she was well taken care of and loved! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Beth was great at communicating both before and during our trip. We received several pictures and short texts letting us know all was well. This was a huge comfort when leaving 2 dogs at home for over a week! I will try to book Beth again for future needs. :)”
“We used Marsha and she was wonderful!! It was a seamless situation and we will definitely use her again!!! Very polite, friendly, tidy, thorough and most importantly great with our dog!!!”
“Tori did a fantastic job with our dog. He absolutely loved her. She took very good care of home as well. She kept us updated and sent multiple pictures everyday. We will definitely use Tori again in the future.”
“We have used Darlin several times and I simply can’t say enough good things- she’s so kind caring and wonderful with our pets and with our home- highly recommend! Her updates and photos are equally amazing!”
“Arabella was great with our girls and made sure they were loved while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and made us comfortable being away from them and will absolutely hire her again!”
“Jake was great! Inde seemed to really enjoy her time with him. We received updates while we were away, as well as pictures. Our apartment was also left completely clean. Will absolutely be booking him again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: I grew up in a household with 7 dogs and I've been watching my neighbors and my family's pets for years. I also worked at a dog boarding facility for several years. I currently have two very high energy corgis but currently have a lot of time and love for more animals! I currently work remote so am very flexible with my hours to match your pets needs, weekdays and week ends. I am also able to accommodate last minute (even day/hour of) requests no problem if I have availability As I work from home I'm able to give the pets a little extra care no matter the time of day and without having to rush off for my own job or family (my wife is perfectly able to handle my 2 doggies on her own!). Able to send as many updates and pics as needed to ease separation and can handle any special requests.
“Brooke was amazing! She stayed at our house for 9 days watching our dog, our chickens, and a newly acquired gecko. She is an excellent communicator, keeping us informed every day with pictures and quick updates. She was an amazing houseguest, and left the house cleaner than when she got here. Our pets loved having her here and so did we. We will definitely book Brooke again.”
About: a lifelong pet enthusiast with years of experience caring for animals. From childhood to now, my home has been a haven for pets. With a deep love and understanding of animals, I'm dedicated to providing top-notch care for your furry friends. Let's connect! Offering exceptional pet care from 12-2 PM. Despite limited hours, rest assured your pets receive devoted attention, love, and the highest standard of care. Trust me with your furry companions! I like to work at the client's house because it's less stressful for pets. They feel more comfortable in their own environment. It helps them stay relaxed and happy while I take care of them
“Raquel is always dependable and always goes above and beyond even when we forget to leave the key!!! Oops! She took great care of our dog Hercules and kept our little fish alive!”
“Kyle was wonderful with taking care of our Charlotte (85# Lab). He played with her, took her out multiple times during the day and kept her happy. He was also very respectful of our home and are thrilled with the care he provided to our girl.”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals starting from my first day as an infant. I grew up with multiple cats in the home with learned, gentle-respect and patience that cats require. I also grew up with a shetland sheepdog, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. As an adult I have significant experience with caring for dogs and cats alike both in my home and in other homes. My own animals, two dogs, a cat, and a 70 gallon fish tank, remind me daily of the joys and importance of animals. I have an anxious 74 pound hound and a nervous 30 pound beagle of my own, so I understand the needs of special breeds and animals coming from previously difficult situations. I have the patience needed to address nervous dogs and have experience with clicker training and am educated in techniques for dog training. I do not breed discriminate. I have fostered kittens and adult cats and have experience with syringe feeding and medicine administration. I also have my own rascally kitten, Hazel, who keeps me entertained. In my experience with fish and aquariums I can clean, feed, and help with tank design or water cycling conditions. Note: I am selective about in home care due to a cat being in the home - this is for the safety of my own animals. Thanks. Your pets will be the utmost priority and I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs. I can assure timely feedings, walks, and potty breaks so your pet is comfortable and you are assured! I will treat them as my own. Our daily routine is FULL of pet fun and enjoyment. First thing in the morning is a walk and potty breaks, followed by feeding, the rest of the day would follow similarly with 4/5 mini walks and dinner at ideal time. Potty before bed time and no pet will be left alone for more than 3 hours and if preferred never at all.
About: I have been pet sitting all summer for four clients. This includes walking, overnight care, house sitting, drop in visits, car rides, and communication with owners throughout my stay. As a dog and cat owner myself, I provide care with the same attention as I give my own. I am currently a OTA student at community college and do two day a week commutes plus online classes. I have more than enough time for pet care! I am reliable and very communicative. I show loyalty to my clients and provide a very calm safe space following the owners routine while sitting.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Aldie is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aldie
Sierra was absolutely AMAZING watching my dogs and house for a week. She gave regular updates, photos, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I came home to happy dogs and a spotless house - it was even cleaner than when I left! It's rare to find someone so reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely caring with animals. I would 100% hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter/house sitter. Honestly... I almost hate to share her because she's THAT good lol.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 8,541 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aldie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Aldie walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Aldie maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Aldie choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
