“Mary is AMAZING! She was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and so sweet with Darla. We loved seeing all the pictures and she even brought in a box that was delivered. We highly recommend Mary.”
About: Having taken care of a precious Springer Spaniel for 14 years (Cocoa), I'll do my best to take care of your dog as if he or she were my own. I'm usually quite responsive when it comes to bookings and arrangements, responding within 15-20 minutes. I'll take them out to play and walk and feed them at least three times a day. I'll also bathe them, if need be. Most importantly, I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure that your dog will have fun while with me. I currently have open availability in my schedule, so I could most definitely sit your dog full-time if necessary. Above all else, I just love working with dogs as they are my favorite animal.
“Ari was very attentive and communicative during her visits. I have two cats, one with asthma who requires an inhaler. Unfortunately he does not like strangers and does not like to get his inhaler from people other than family. Ari did her best to try to give him his inhaler each day. She was patient and caring despite the challenges. Overall, she took great care of both kitties! Thanks again, Ari!”
About: I don't have much experience with dogs as the only dog I interact with is my own, however, I am open to sitting all types. I'm currently working as a food delivery driver and have a flexible schedule. I'm fairly new to dog sitting and will try to provide the best service. I walk my dog about four times a day for roughly 30 minutes to and hour. Usually give her peanut butter as a treat or any vegetables that she may like.
“Bethany was great with our dogs and they were happy and well cared for! One of our dogs needs insulin injections with meals and that makes it harder to find someone to take care of him, so connecting with Bethany was a relief! She has experience with injections and was a pro at administering his meds! We will definitely reach out to Bethany again - 5+ stars!”
“Lina is extremely attentive and caring towards our pets. Even our usually shy kitty has learned to come and greet her at the door. We feel at ease leaving our pets knowing they are in the best hands!”
About: Hi! My name is Manu and I truly love animals. I have had pets for most of my life, and I also have 5 years of experience caring for other people’s pets, which has helped me understand different routines, personalities, and needs. Taking care of pets is not just a job for me, it’s something that genuinely makes me happy. I love watching them grow, play, go on walks, and socialize. I enjoy spending time with them, taking them on walks, playing, making sure they eat well, and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I am very patient, caring, responsible, and detail-oriented. I understand that every pet is unique, so I adapt to their habits, energy level, and specific needs to provide personalized care. You can feel confident knowing I will treat your pet as if they were part of my own family. My priority is to make them feel comfortable, safe, cared for, and loved while they are with me. I would be honored to take care of your furry friend and give them all the love, attention, and fun they deserve.☺️ Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule through my cleaning work, which allows me to organize my day around the pets’ needs. If required, I can adjust my full day to focus on caring for the pets, ensuring they receive the attention, walks, feeding, and companionship they deserve. My flexible availability allows me to be reliable, attentive, and present, whether it’s for drop-in visits, walks, or extended care. I always prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness, treating them with love and patience as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual schedule, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep their environment clean, calm, and comfortable so they feel secure in their familiar space. I also give them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they never feel lonely while their owner is away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel relaxed and loved. I supervise them closely, maintain their feeding schedule, provide playtime, and ensure they get enough exercise, rest, and attention. I also provide updates, photos, and communication to keep owners reassured and informed about their pet’s well-being.
“Michael was prompt and responsive and took great care of Mindy, adjusting to her needs. There were a couple unexpected surprises along the way - one major one which we also did not expect while away - and that was gardeners in the back yard…which Mindy wasn’t very happy with - but Michael swooped in and dealt with it as well as he could, and remained professional. From the pictures, Mindy seemed to enjoy their time together. We would invite Michael back again!”
About: I'm happy to walk and play with big dogs. I am patient and calm around wary cats but happy to be playful, too! I've been lucky enough to parent three dogs and four cats. I like all pets, and I think they like me, too. I'm a teacher to widely available in the summer. I'm available to house-sit including weekdays. I'm up early to exercise so happy to make early morning visits or walks. I have cats, so I don't plan to care for other pets in my home. In your home I will treat both your pets and property with care and professionalism. I'm happy to just pop in for food and bathroom breaks or to stay and keep your pet company for a while. I love playing with both cats and dogs, including just sitting with them on my lap.
“Allie was so great with both of my dogs and always sent very detailed notes on their time together. I will definitely reach out to Allie again when I needy girls checked in on!”
“Grace was great - contacted her on short notice and she was responsive, easy to work with, communicative, and took care of my cats without a hitch. Would definitely work with her again.”
“Wow! Alejandra went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you so much for taking care of my girls! And for keeping up with my super long messages of instructions haha. Will definitely book again in the future :)”
About: I am detail oriented and love to play with pups. If a schedule is provided, I will follow it as directed. I can walk, feed, and take pets out to potty. Your pet(s) will always be under my watch. Additionally there is someone home at all times in case I do need to step out. I also offer after hours/overnight potty breaks if needed, as late as 3am and as early as 7:30am. I also speak Spanish. I am available Monday to Friday and most weekends, which mostly depend on the time. I’m very flexible and can accommodate to you & your pet’s needs. I have a fenced front yard and backyard. Pups are always monitored anytime we’re outside. Also seperated when eating to ensure everyone ears their own meal. I can crate your dog if needed.
“Nicole is absolutely fantastic! The dogs say it best—they are always super excited to see her. Highly recommend for her any of your pets needs. She is highly dependable, professional, and works with me and my crazy schedule to make sure my doggos are taken care of. Thanks Nicole!!”
“Mauricio did a great job with our pets. Very flexible as we had some extra asks which he was happy to accomidate. He kept us up to date on the walks and check ins. Overall very pleased and will request his service again.”
“Asia is undoubtedly the best choice Rover sitter! I would trust this girl with my life! Lol She took her role in caring for my kitties so seriously, spending extra time with them for pets and snuggles. She was a HUGE help cleaning up kitty messes while I was out of town and having my home shown for sale. So appreciate her help!!!”

Sophia was incredibly kind to accept a last-minute booking, and I’m so grateful she did. She was also very patient when we had issues with the access code I gave her. I never planned on getting home late, and she truly saved the day. Even though it was my first time booking with Sophia, I had a really good feeling after looking at her profile, and I was right. Knowing Kim was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you for taking such great care of her! I would absolutely book with Sophia again.
Many thanks, Samantha! So grateful we connected here. She’s been so good to and with my dog. He’s a grumpy old guy but she’s won him over :). She’s been great at keeping us in the loop with updates and pics, responsive to what he’s in the mood for (eg walk v hanging in the yard) and keeping an eye on how he’s doing. Really appreciate her working us into her schedule as we quickly became one of her regular clients. Highly recommend Samantha!
Josh is amazing - attentive, kind, and caring with our two big dogs. They get so excited whenever he walks through the door, and after their hour-long walks, they come home happy, relaxed, and completely worn out! We're incredibly grateful to have found Joshua. It's clear how much he cares about the dogs he works with, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing they're in such good hands. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our pups and for being so awesome! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trent took wonderful care of my dog while I was out of town. He provided plenty of pictures showing how Murphy was doing and put extra attention into the different things I told him regarding Murphy! I felt much better about leaving Murphy for the weekend knowing Trent was taking care of him. Highly recommend to others!
Aura was fantastic! Communicative, punctual, friendly, and was great about following our somewhat complicated instructions for feeding our dog. She brought in our packages to keep them out of the rain, too! Would absolutely work with her again, and thank you, Aura, for taking care of our old girl!

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 Annandale 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.
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 Annandale 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!
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.

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Annandale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
