“We had a wonderful experience with our Alexis. She was always on time, extremely dependable, and very easy to work with. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. She absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she treated them like her own. Communication was great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The quality of care and reliability made it completely worth it. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!”

About: I grew up in a multi-dog household. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends since I was 11! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I volunteered with an organization for 4 years raising and training service dogs in training. I have experience with puppies as young as 2 weeks (volunteer health checks) all the way to seniors at 15 years old! I also have grown up with cats and have pet sat for cats, so I have experience with cats of all ages as well! I’m currently in school and have classes Mondays from 9:30-1:50 and Tuesdays from 9-10:50. Wednesdays I have class along with a weekly commitment, so I’m unfortunately unavailable. Thursdays-Sundays I’m usually available all day! My experience with training dogs (and dogs in general) has taught me all about reading body language, picking up on their cues, handling them on walks and in the home, along with training basic commands. I am very attentive and will treat your fur baby as my own!

About: I have previous experience in veterinary medicine. I was a vet assistant for 3 years. I have now changed career paths but I miss all of the animals and would love to take care of your pet! I currently have open availability as I am not working at the moment, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and giving them attention and care. I provide in-home sitting and drop-in visits, following each pet’s routine closely. I focus on feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: My name is Emily. I work full time in public service and I am a dog mom to a Golden Doodle named Rudy. I have 4+ years of working in animal care from working in shelters, as a veterinary assistant, and have cared for my neighbor's pets when needed. I am able to administer medications and care for any pets that have special needs due to having experienced working in both small and large animal clinics. I will treat your fur baby like my own! I currently have availability on week days in the evening and weekends all day. In the summer from end of June to mid - July I will have all day availability as well. My dog Rudy is very friendly and can accompany on visits if permitted or requested. I have a park close to my house and can commute to any area for a needed walk.

About: I've housesat and taken care of dogs for friends and family members since I was a kid. I've been told I have an energy that animals really respond to. I can no longer have a pet of my own, and I miss my dog every day, I just want to be around dogs again, and help out pet parents. I just opened a bar on my own so it is practically impossible for me to have a dog full time, but my schedule is also flexible enough where I could make sure to give a lot of attention to a dog on a part time basis. I am happy to watch a dog at your home or mine, I have a fenced yard and plenty of parks and trails nearby to walk around.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life! I like to roller skate with my dad’s dog, Bellevue. I think pets should be spoken to like they absolutely know what we are saying. I’m currently in NKY for an extended time for family matters and I am completely free to provide pet care to those who need it. I will give them love and adoration. They will be on leash, unless instructed otherwise… I think daily exercise is important for both human and pets alike.

About: Hi! I'm a college student with a lifelong love for animals! In high school, I spent time fostering dogs, which gave me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. Through fostering and caring for my own pets, I've learned the importance of patience, consistency, and making animals feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet is different, and I love taking the time to get to know their individual personalities and routines. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I'll treat your pets like my own! I'm also happy to provide regular pictures and updates so you can feel confident they're in good hands! I'm currently a student at the University of Cincinnati, which allows me to have a pretty flexible and open schedule! I have most afternoons, evenings, and nights available, and I'm also happy to accommodate overnight stays. My part-time job is very flexible as well, so I'm often able to adjust my work hours if needed to help with your pet's care. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routines, and I'm more than willing to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your furry friends! I have two dogs of my own who use an electric fence when outside and have free rein of the house, so I'm familiar with providing a comfortable environment while still maintaining boundaries and routines. I understand that every pet and owner has different preferences, and I'm more than happy to adjust my care to fit their specific needs! Whether your pet requires a more structured routine with certain rules and restrictions or has more freedom throughout the house, I will always follow your instructions closely. I'm very attentive to each pet's behavior, comfort, and safety, and my goal is to make sure they feel as happy and comfortable as possible while you're away. I also believe communication is important and am always happy to provide updates and pictures for peace of mind!

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for the past 10 years, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I recently lost my 2 beloved dogs after nearly a decade together, which inspired me to sign up as a volunteer at my local animal shelter so I can continue spending time caring for dogs and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, reassuring companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I'd want for my own. I work weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., but I'm available before and after work every day, as well as all evenings and weekends. I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of love, attention, and quality care. I can also step away from work, on my lunch break, depending on the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My husband and I own our home. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and will always provide close supervision, plenty of affection, and a calm, loving environment where your pup can feel right at home. I can also crate your pup if needed!

About: I'm a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver with experience caring for both large and small dogs ranging in age from 1 to 13 years old. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, preferences, and routine, and I take pride in providing attentive, individualized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am highly detail-oriented and make it a priority to maintain your dog's regular schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and daily routines. Consistency is important for a dog's well-being, so I work hard to ensure they remain on their normal schedule while you're away. My goal is to create a positive, fun, and loving environment where your pup feels cared for and happy. Dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, cuddles, and physical activity, typically between 30 minutes and 1 hour of exercise per day, depending on their age, energy level, and needs. Before services begin, I prefer to meet both the dog and their family. This allows me to learn your pet's routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions. I also like to familiarize myself with the home, including the locations of emergency contacts, cleaning supplies, and other important items, so I can provide the safest and most seamless care possible. Communication is extremely important to me. I provide timely updates, regular photos, and detailed check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while ensuring every dog receives the love, attention, and quality care they deserve. I am a full-time employee with flexible starting and closing hours. I work remotely once a week. Weekends are open as well. When I am presented with tasks, I make sure that all my responsibilities are taken care of. I allocate appropriate time to ensure client and self-satisfaction. When I put my mind to it, I complete my tasks to the best of my ability. I enter and exit the house the same way I arrived, always maintaining the client’s privacy and security. If I notice any damage or an emergency arises, I communicate immediately, offering opportunities for additional service and support. I treat the home as if it were my own, showing respect and care in every detail. I bring the same level of attention and compassion to the client’s pet, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am deeply caring, compassionate, tidy, and regimented in all that I do.

This was my first time using Rover and I am counting my blessings to have found Allie! I appreciated her responsiveness, attention to detail, and personalized report cards with photos.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Alexandria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alexandria is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. 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 2,158 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alexandria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alexandria. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
