Great job! Very communicative and caring. I felt completely comfortable with Alex, and I will definitely use her again. She paid attention to every detail and went above and beyond. I’m very relieved to have such a reliable caregiver for my four babies!!

About: Hi! I’m Shun, and I absolutely love caring for animals. I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with three wonderful pets, and I’ve always felt that animals have a special way of communicating if you take the time to understand them. As someone who enjoys gardening, beekeeping, and spending time outdoors, I naturally love caring for animals and creating a calm environment. Weekends are dedicated to giving pets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I currently offer weekend pet care, so your furry family member will have plenty of attention while you’re away. My home is calm, safe, and perfect for relaxing, playing, and getting lots of love. I believe every pet should feel like they’re on their own little vacation while their family is gone. In addition to pet care, I’m happy to help give you peace of mind by bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, alternating lights, and checking on your home if requested. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently offer pet care on weekends, allowing me to dedicate quality time to your pet while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before their stay. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and house rules to help your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I also believe in open communication and will send regular updates and photos throughout their visit. I only accept a limited number of bookings so every pet receives the individual attention they deserve.

Savannah was absolutely wonderful! She came by early to do a check in and make sure she knew where everything was for each dog and paid close attention to detail to make sure they were taken care of. She came by at the times communicated and sent great picture and video updates—highly recommend and would love to work together again in the future!

About: Hi! I’m a proud dog mom of 5+ years and totally understand how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone new. I’ve had my Italian Spitz since she was a tiny fluffball, so I’ve been through all the puppy stages that includes lots of zoomies, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles 🥰 . Being hands-on from day one has taught me how important routines, patience, and giving each dog the attention they deserve really are. When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My husband and I make sure every dog gets as many walks, potty breaks, and play sessions as they need, plus lots of one-on-one attention. I’m also big on updates, so you can expect frequent photos and messages showing your dog having a great time! My goal is for you to relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and having fun 😌 I work from home during the week, which means I’m around most of the day to give pups the attention they need. I’m able to keep a close eye on them, stick to their routines, and make sure they get timely walks, potty breaks, and lots of check-ins throughout the day. I have a good-sized, fully fenced backyard where your pups can safely run around, play, and burn off energy. Also, if your dog is a couch or bed cuddler at home, they’re welcome to be one here too.

I could not be happier and more satisfied! I unfortunately had to leave town to help my Mother get through her last days, and Lacie was able to step in and help accommodate the chaos and make sure our beloved Pepper was kept safe, well-fed, entertained, and especially loved and happy while I was away. I did NOT want our little rescue husky alone and worried! I could only wish I could find the words to truly express how grateful I am for her service and kindness throughout the ordeal! She’s absolutely amazing.

About: I use to have a dog, and took care of my cousins two dogs multiple times. I am very comfortable around animals, I have been surrounded by them since childhood. I would say I am very capable of looking after your baby! I work part time with my weekdays free most of the time, so I would be able to dog walk or sit anytime! Sadly, at this time I am not available to walk or sit on the weekends. I am a very active person, so I would definitely be able to keep up with your dog on walks! I can also keep them entertained in smaller settings like your house, for example.

About: I always took care of my family’s pets. But now I want to do that for more people. I know how important is to have someone that you can trust your pet and I am here to help. I offer a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, pet sitting or companionship at various times throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority, and I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry family member. I can easily adapt to stay one day or night at my client house if that is possible or necessary. And walk around with them.

About: I love animals of all types and I take pride in taking care of them. I am very patient and I am capable of taking care of their specific needs. I want nothing but the best for animals and I enjoy learning about their unique personalities. I can administer medicine, help with basic training, and do anything I can to contribute to their well being. I am passionate about animals as a whole and I’d love the chance to meet yours. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and with my three children going to school I will have plenty of time to ensure your furbabies are taken care of in your absence. I have 1 dog and 8 cats who are good with other animals. However, it would be less overwhelming for your pet to remain in their home rather than mine. The back yard is currently not fenced in as well.

I was in serious need of someone to care for my babies while I was out of state/country. Google sent me to Rover. I took the chance and signed up. I am SO glad that I did! I’m super picky about our menagerie, 2 dogs and 11 cats, but Jenny handled them wonderfully, even trouble shooting an electrical issue with our fans! One of my babies had an ear issue and Jenny took him to the vet for us! Highly recommend!!!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and following specific care instructions such as schedules or basic medications if needed. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m attentive and present, and I enjoy building pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced in backyard where we can run around and play together. I can give medications, give baths, do any special accommodations, etc.

About: I am a very outgoing, open minded person. I’ve had a variety of pets from childhood until now. I love animals, and am very excited to meet and care for new friends. We have a gated backyard outside my home for quick potty breaks and playtime! I am currently a part time student at LLCC but I am also working from home, so I'll be spending plenty of time with any guests. I usually wake up around 7am to get an early start for the day! Pets daily home routines don't change when they are staying here. I will always ask what their schedules look like if I am not specifically told.

About: I provide attentive, compassionate care with experience supporting senior dogs and their unique needs. As a dedicated cat owner with four sensitive cats, I’m especially mindful of medications, routines, and subtle health changes, always giving extra care, patience, and consideration to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved like family. I am a full-time student whose classes end around noon, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! Days vary, but whenever I am home for the weekends, I am free 24/7 (: The space that I curate is clean, food free, and safe for any pet to feel comfortable in! I am very attentive when it comes to my pets’ needs and it is my top priority for them to be taken care of <3

About: I have grown up with pets and critters my entire life! Having labs, boarder collies, German shepherds, boxers and even a chihuahua growing up, I have been around a wide range of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have also grown up around livestock and other household pets, especially horses, and have been trusted to farm sit for families going on vacation who have a long list of pets they needed care for. I have experience with dogs of various energy levels, health concerns and behavioral concerns and strive to accommodate their specific situation the best I can! P.s. - I'm also a photographer and (obviously) adore dogs so you will probably (definitely) get pictures of your pup while you're away! I currently work from home and have rather flexible work hours so I can make almost any time work for visiting and walking your dogs! Whether it be a simple potty break in the backyard or a longer walk, I am happy to make it happen! I currently plan to offer walks and drop in visits but will eventually offer more services in the future. Safety for your dog is my top priority! During my time with them, I plan to closely follow your directions for their specific needs and preferences. I am happy to walk them (or let them out) in the areas you have allotted and return them to the area you prefer them to be left in, whether that be crated or not. I have been around many dogs with various needs and am happy to accommodate to your pups situation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Alexandria on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 33 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alexandria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alexandria stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
