“Alexis was great! The cats were comfortable with her and she was very communicative. There was a plumbing disaster that came up unexpectedly and she notified me immediately + waited around to let maintenance in.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for dogs since I was five years old, starting with my first dog, Skipper. I currently have two rescue mixes—a 14-year-old boxer/husky and a 7-year-old pittie/husky—which has given me a deep respect for senior dogs and the quirks that come with them. I have a particular affinity for dogs with special needs and hands-on experience caring for dogs who are deaf, highly anxious, or require daily medications. I’m patient, observant, and take each dog’s routine seriously—your dog will be safe, understood, and well cared for (even if they pretend not to like me at first). Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day for walks, feedings, medications, check-ins, and supervision—not just quick drop-ins. I adapt my day around a pet’s existing routine, not the other way around, and I’m available on weekends as well. Translation: your fur baby will be thoroughly cared for, closely monitored, and occasionally wondering why I’m still there. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any house-specific instructions. I’m attentive without hovering and respect both the pet’s space and your home. Everything will be left exactly as you left it, and your pet will be safe, settled, and properly cared for by someone who knows what they’re doing, regardless of how unimpressed your dog or cat may seem.

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've had dogs since I was a kid and have always been their primary caregiver, so I know the day-to-day rhythm of caring for a dog inside and out. I have hands-on experience giving medication, since my own dog is a senior, and I've also cared for cats over the years. I've watched neighbors' dogs during their vacations simply because I love it. I'm patient, genuinely enjoy being around animals, and treat every dog like the family member they are. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of time to devote to your pet. I'm happy to walk dogs anywhere from once to three times a week, and can do daily walks if you're nearby. I'm also available to sit with pets who just need companionship a few times a week. Since I work remotely, I do need Wi-Fi access when caring for pets in your home, which lets me stay close by and attentive throughout the day. I offer in-home care at your place rather than my own, so your dog stays comfortable in their familiar environment. For walks, I'll take your dog out for up to an hour, adjusting the time and pace based on their stamina and individual needs. I also offer companionship sitting for a few hours a day, which helps keep your dog's stress levels down while you're away, giving them comfort and attention until you return.

About: Hi, fellow dog lovers! 🐾❤️ Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have over 7 years of experience watching dogs, walking them, and making sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. I understand that your dog isn't just a pet — they're family!

In a client's home, I do my best to keep each dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. I want your pet to feel comfortable in their own environment while you're away. I'm also happy to send photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is doing well! When caring for pets in my own home, I focus on creating a safe, welcoming environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Diana! With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I provide loving and reliable pet care tailored to your furry friend’s needs. As a proud cat parent to two kittens, I offer boarding for well-behaved dogs that get along with cats. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, or a cozy home while you're away, I’ll treat them like family. I can’t wait to meet your pup or kitty—let’s make their stay comfortable and fun! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work close to home, which allows me to check in on the animals in my care frequently, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I start my mornings with feeding, walks, and cuddles, and I make sure each pet gets the care they need according to their routine. In the evenings, I spend extra time engaging with them, whether that’s going for a walk, playing, or just providing a cozy, comforting environment. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive and personalized care, so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry friends are well taken care of. In my home, I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide a structured routine with regular feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime and affection. Since I have two kittens, I only board dogs that are well-behaved around cats to maintain a calm and happy environment for everyone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following their established routine to keep pets comfortable and minimize stress. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need, such as medication or specific training cues. I also provide regular updates to pet parents, so they can feel at ease knowing their furry friends are in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will regularly keep you updated with visits and can follow whatever special instructions necessary! I’ll treat your pet like family and hopefully keep them from missing you too much. I have a background in teaching swim, which has taught me lots of patience, responsibility, and carefulness. While I am currently away at school, at home I took care of my 2 dogs - feeding them daily, walking them twice a week, and bathing them biweekly. This was part of my responsibilities at home and still help with them when I go home to visit. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will do my best to ensure they feel comfortable and are sticking to their normal routine. I will respect your, and their space and give them lots of love!

About: Hello! I know that I would be a wonderful pet sitter for you as I truly understand how much your dog means to you as I am a dog parent myself. I have a 9 year old Bluetick Coonhound who has taught me the importance of patience, consistently, attention, and-of course-plenty of pets and playtime! I treat every pet in my car as if they are my own, taking the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs. My goal is to not only provide dependable care, but to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. My regular work allows me the opportunity to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to provide attention, potty breaks, walks, feeding, and playtime throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. During drop in visits, I provide dependable, personalized, care in the comfort of your pet’s home. I can accommodate their regular routine by providing potty breaks, fresh food and water, attention, playtime, and walks when appropriate. Most importantly, I focus on making each visit a positive experience by giving your pet companionship, comfort, and the individual care they need while you’re away.

This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous but Allie did a great job with our 3 cats while we were gone for the weekend! Very communicative, timely, and with an attention to detail when one of the cats had some vomiting episodes (which she also graciously cleaned up without our asking). Will definitely look to book her again in the future!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alexandria on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 2,153 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 .

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.

  • 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
