“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!”
“Trent was a perfect fit for our shy girl. His reports were informative, he responded quickly to everything and really cared about our dog Daisy. Would definitely use again and I highly recommend him.”
“Evelyn is fantastic! We did a quick meet and greet with my pup and I knew she would be in good hands. Evelyn loves dogs and she is so sweet with my dog Fern! We are so happy to have found Evelyn!”
“Ayme was so helpful. She did a meet and greet less than 24 hours after I contacted her. Our pups got let out exactly when we wanted and we did not have to come home to a mess after a long day away. Thanks so much Ayme!”
“Shelby was great to work with! She was communicative and responsive. We loved the pictures she took of our sweet baby. We also appreciated the thorough updates we received! We would highly recommend Shelby!”
“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!”
“This was my first time leaving my cats Butter and Boba for a few days, and Sophie was amazing from start to finish! During the meet and greet, she asked thoughtful questions and made sure she understood their routines and quirks, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire stay she was extremely communicative. I loved getting pictures and a summary after each visit. My cats are very very shy, and she was so patient and gentle with them. She earned their trust quickly, especially with Boba, which says a lot! I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thanks Sophie!”
“We loooove Sarah, she’s been our Pittie’s Sitter for the last 6 months and we trust very few people with their care but Sarah is at the top of the list. She keeps constant communication, helps us in a pinch, gives our dogs cuddles and sends the best pictures.”
“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!”

Yan has taken care of Pepa (our cat) for the third time! She’s simply wonderful. We continue to appreciate the thoughtful updates, photos, and the genuine care. Yan provides us complete peace of mind knowing our cat was not only safe but happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while we were gone. Coming home to a relaxed, content cat and a spotless feeding and litter area speaks volumes to Yan’s professionalism and dedication. We highly recommend Yan to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and compassionate cat sitter.

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Virginia was great with our two cats while we were away for our wedding, it was great to have peace of mind that they were in good hands. She very clearly loves cats and treated them with so much respect from their very first meeting! She also gave us updates through the Rover app each visit letting us know what mischief the cats got up to!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Annandale on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 15,948 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Annandale. 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 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.
