“Christin has been great with our new addition Penny. When Penny met Christin, it was an instant connection. You can definitely see her love for animals. She arrives on time and is very reliable. Penny looks forward to her visits twice a week where they go play in the backyard. In addition to Penny, our 4 cats enjoy her stopping by as well, especially Axle.”
“Sarah was a life saver. She came through for us for our family vacation. She was so good with my 2 girls. Now they have a new friend. Thanks for being so punctual and for spending time with my dogs. I will surely be using you again in the future!!”
About: Dogs have always been part of our life and are treated as a member of the family. When in our house the dogs are allowed on furniture and we will treat them as they were our dog. We welcome calls to check up on your animal while they are staying with us. We will give them plenty of attention and someone will be around in the house to make sure they are doing well. We look forward to having your animal stay will us and giving them attention while they are here. We can even send you pictures or videos while you are gone to see how they are enjoying their stay. I am retired as a special education teacher and enjoy animals. Last year I lost my dog Sammy who was 19 years old and look forward to being with dogs. Our family treats pets like part of our family. We like to spend time with them and interact in the house as well as outside.

“We had an amazing experience with Darian! She did a phenomenal job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. We felt reassured from the moment we left knowing they were in good hands. She went above and beyond—keeping us updated with photos and messages, ensuring they stuck to their routines, and showing them so much love and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared for our pups, and we returned to find them happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for better care, and we will absolutely book her again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: I have had dogs all my life and have always had the responsibilities to look after them. I have been around bigger dogs as well as smaller dogs and very familiar with senior care. I work full time but with a flexible schedule and a husband who works odd hours so I can be very flexible with times and dates! I am willing to travel within reasonable distance to look after your animals with reasonable notice. I do understand last minute things can happen as well.
“Jamie was very good and very responsible. My two shepherds were a little difficult to handle and she found that out at our meet and greet. Instead of turning the assignment down she helped come to a solution were both her and the dogs were comfortable with the feedings. The price was reasonable and I hope she will accept future accept future requests. Thank you Jamief”
“Nikita showed his skills as a dog handler from literally the moment he walked in, greeting the shy dog so skillfully that she happily went right up to him to say hi. He was great with rambunctious Duncan and my very energetic young puppy Holly, managing to keep them playing safely together until they were tired enough to give me a few hours of peace before they recharge their energy. I'll definitely book Nikita again!”

“We would highly recommend Chelsea! We made last minute plans and she was able to accommodate our schedule. I’m (ridiculously) protective of my dog and was nervous about having someone in to care for him. Chelsea put my mind at ease immediately. She was professional, very compassionate, and has a lot of experience with dogs of all temperaments. I enjoyed her frequent updates and photos, I could see that our dog was being well cared for and had connected well with Chelsea. We will definitely use her again!!”

About: After proudly serving in the military, I decided it was time for a change. Changing careers has opened up my schedule, giving me the opportunity to fill my time with activities I truly enjoy—especially spending quality time with the purest type of love you can get from your fur babies. I have a natural instinct to be protective. Your fur babies will be in good hands with me. I’m comfortable staying calm and stepping in when situations become stressful, including separating dogs if a conflict occurs. I also have some background experience in law enforcement. The reason I mention this is because, with me, you’re not only getting a dog sitter—you’re also getting someone you can trust to look after your home while you’re away. Safety is always my number one priority to those around me. As you look through my photos, you’ll notice several dogs I’ve known and cared for since they were puppies. I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to family, friends, and coworkers over the years. This is simply my first time offering those services through an app. I’d be more than happy to share stories about some of my favorite four-legged friends if you’d like to continue the conversation. They all hold a special place in my heart, and I genuinely loved spending time with them. The Siberian Husky in the photos is my sweet fur baby, Niko. It has been a couple of years since his passing, but he will always have a special place in my heart. Niko was a very loving and gentle Husky. He got along with everyone, loved wrestling with other dogs at the dog park, and enjoyed going on long walks. He was also by my side through some of the hardest times in my life. I’m not quite ready to take on the full responsibility of owning another dog, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to build a special bond with your fur baby. I hope to give them the same love, attention, and companionship I gave Niko. Working a full time job. I can possibly do Thursday evenings. I have some Fridays off/get off early from work. I’m off Saturdays and Sundays. I can be even more flexible, depending on location. I have had dogs stay with me in the past, but I am currently renting and unable to provide that service as of now. I’m available to provide love and care to your fur baby in your home, if you’d like.
“Took wonderful care of my kitties! They're fed in a particular way and she took care of that no problem. Definitely booking Kimberly again whenever I need a sitter for them again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since a young age and many friends and neighbors trusted me with their sweet pets especially dogs :) I have a sweet and caring relationship with dogs :) I’m currently working part time so I am very open to boarding, day sitting or even day walking Mon-Sundays and also during holidays. my schedule is very flexible ! Since I live in manassas , I would be very happy to offer a pick up and drop off services too in order for my customers to have a worry free timeline and also they can plan for their vacation or their plans without worrying about the transportation issue :) I have a very safe basement only dedicated to my furry friends with toys and also treats to enjoy . I have a fenced crate if my furry friends likes to use it also .
About: I use Reiki and massage when animals and their humans are accepting of it. My rates are built to service a wider geographical area. Please ask about lower rates for care needed close to my home, or other existing clients. I grew up with many cats (over many years), and a dog. We had several dogs in the neighborhood I would help and visit with, and have experience with horses and other animals of air, land and sea. I’ve been caring for dogs, cats and horses professionally for a little over three decades. I am self-employed and make my own schedule, so I’m busy, but flexible with enough notice or if there is a gap in my schedule. I have a big and friendly dog of my own who would want to stay with me if you require overnight dog or cat sitting, depending on how far you are from our home. My end-unit townhome backs up to the retention pond. I can see the walking trail that backs up to the forest from my deck. My small, fenced-in backyard opens up to a wheelchair accessible paver path. So ideal for older pets who need less/no stairs. I’ve cared for many elderly animals.
About: I've done dog sitting for 9 years now and have experience with house sitting along with walking pets and doing a first meet before the scheduled date. I am also in nursing school. I currently am in nursing school (last year) since I am about to graduate I do have flexibility that is updated on my rover calendar frequently. I will schedule a time to meet your pet and see what routine is best for your pet and what their needs are in your home to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Mountain Lake
Courtney is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! What really sets her apart is how much she genuinely loves our cat, Georgie, and how much fun she has with him. Her updates are not only reassuring but hilarious! She perfectly described how Georgie leads her around the house to play in his favorite places and how he races down the stairs like a herd of elephants. If you know Georgie, you know that is the perfect description of him! It's clear that Courtney really gets down and plays with him, giving him the exercise, attention, and entertainment he needs. Georgie loves to play, jump, and run, and honestly, Courtney does a better job of keeping up with his energy than I can! It's wonderful knowing he gets such a fun, engaging experience while we're away. The photos she sends show a happy, content cat, and he's relaxed and comfortable when we return home. She consistently goes above and beyond, and we truly appreciate the time, effort, and love she puts into caring for him. We trust Courtney completely and feel incredibly lucky to have found someone who treats Georgie with so much affection and makes sure his needs are met. She's dependable, thoughtful, funny, and genuinely wonderful with animals. We couldn't recommend her more highly!
Ashley took excellent care of my cat Tala while I was away (even when Tala was not at her nicest!). Ashley made sure she understood my instructions at our meet and greet, and sent photos and updates for every drop-in visit. She was friendly, reliable, and professional—everything you want for someone watching your pet.
We were staying in Virginia, away from our primary home in Georgia, and had a last minute need for someone to look in on our dogs (our loveable mixed breed plus our daughter’s mini doodle) since we were going to be gone for a whole day. Carissa was very nice and responsive. She came for a meet and greet that same day and did a drop in visit the following day. She texted updates and photos and the dogs loved her. We will definitely use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
All bookings are backed by the , 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 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.
