About: Hi there! I’m Hannah, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and many other pets. I’ve trained my own dogs and understand how important it is to create a bond built on trust, comfort, and fun. When I’m with your pet, their happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like they would at home. I truly enjoy spending time outdoors, so active dogs who love walks or playtime will be right at home with me! My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your needs to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. Your pet’s care and your peace of mind mean a lot to me. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates, and make sure you know your furry friend is in good hands (: I am currently working in a restaurant as I finish school! I am available Monday-Wednesday anytime and Thursday until the evening. I do have some weekend availability but it varies so please feel free to reach out with any service you need! I am eager to provide the best care for your pet in your home environment! I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds and am adaptable with making sure any needs they may have are met accordingly.
“Andrew was excellent with our high energy 2-year-old pup! His calming presence was the perfect match for Abe, and we had a happy dog upon returning home. Will book again!”
About: I’ve personally taken care of cats and dogs. Previously, have trained a puppy. So I know the calmness and patience needed to care for pets. Also, timely updates are very useful for the pet owner. Thanks. I currently don’t work, so I have a lot of time and availability for pet sitting. Please let me know in advance and I can accommodate feeding, walks, medications, and tasks. I have a beautiful one apartment, so there’s lots of space to freely walk. I lock away cleaning chemicals. There is lots of space to keep familiar pet items near.

My extensive experience spans all sizes, ages, backgrounds, and needs of dogs, ensuring your furry friend receives not just care, but genuine companionship and understanding. From fostering German Shepherds to volunteering at local shelters, I've honed my skills in nurturing pets through transitions. Each visit isn't just a task—it's an opportunity to forge a bond and tailor care to your pet's unique needs, leaving them wagging their tail with joy. I am a freelancer/contractor so I have plenty of time to fit time with your pups into my day. It's an excellent break for me and I look forward to every visit! As a provider of walks and check-ins I will meet with you and your dog the first time to establish a relationship and acclimate with your dog while making sure this is a relationship that works for everyone. After that we can work together to make the most of my time with your pup regardless of the service provided.

Josh was great! He was able to keep my cat Tommy well fed and entertained on a consistent basis while I was away. I appreciate his willingness to take care of him for almost a months I would definitely recommend him and hope to book him again in the future.
Bethany is a superstar in caring for my cat, King! She provided me with daily updates and a photo, and I could tell from the look on his face that he was getting the care (and brushing!) he needed. She told me that he even gave her some "head bumps" which clearly showed how much he liked her.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Annandale on Rover is $22.2 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 .

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.
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 Annandale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
