About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! I graduated Austin Peay with a Bachelor’s in Agriculture and concentrated in Veterinary Technology. While I was in school, I worked at a boarding facility and daycare. I worked in an animal hospital for over 3 years until I had my son in November. I stay home with my son now as a full time mom. My veterinary experience allows me to administer medication, provide extraordinary care, and give lots of love! I currently am a stay at home mom to my son who was born in November! Our days are open and willing to help out families with their fur babies! I have 4 dogs of my own- 2 senior small girls, a senior lab (though she doesn’t act like it), and a middle aged silly boy! They are all friendly and welcoming to any animal in our home. I do have an unfenced yard but do have runners and will leash walk all animals in my yard. I am able to crate any animal if necessary.
“Lori is fabulous! She took EXCELLENT care of our babies. We even forgot to get a preferred treat for our dog to take her pills in and Lori went out of her way to get it so our girl wouldn’t be sad. She went above and beyond! All of our animals (even our most skittish cat) loved her immediately. Her daily updates after every visit made us feel so at ease during our trip. Also normally after a trip our babies are standoffish or SUPER clingy and they’re acting as if we haven’t even been gone. She made their lives feel normal and kept their routine. This was our first time using Rover, and we’re so very pleased with Lori’s care for our babies! We will definitely use her sitting services again.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs ever since I was 12. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to watch over their little ones and make sure they have the time of their life’s! I’m currently a stay at home mom that loves to take my little one on walks. I’d love to take your puppers along with us! I have a two year old labradoodle, and a one year old toddler that will keep your puppers tail waggin all day! Rather it be playing fetch, going on walks, or cuddles on the couch, your pup will be well loved and well taken care of!
“Jessica has taken such good care of our pups! She has always been on time and every detail done. The pictures were great since we missed our pups so much! Will definitely use her again.”
About: I love going on walks and hikes with dogs. My dog is a senior dog now at 12 years old and has hip issues. She doesn’t get to do that anymore. I know how much dogs love to walk. I recently retired a few months ago, so my schedule is pretty flexible to meet the needs of the clients. I have to be busy. I have a fenced in yard myself but I go out with my own dog. I will go out with your dog as well to ensure safety.
About: I have cared for pets since I was double digits. I have had hamsters, fish, cats, and dogs. Dogs are my favorite, though. It doesn't matter what breed; they are all unique in their own way and beautiful as well. I have personally owned a Rotti (Rocco), Husky mix (Mercedes), English Bulldog (Diesel), Frenchies (Kingston & Khloe), and now a pocket bully (Oakley) and English Bulldog (Lola). Since our kids are grown, these are our fur babies. We always say that this is their home, and they just let us live with them. I am able and comfortable with injuries, wounds, bathing, and cutting nails if needed. We are currently going through the puppy stage with Lola, so we have a lot of patience as well. We would love for you to choose us to stay with because we love meeting new friends, no matter their age or breed. I work from home 3 days a week, so I am here most of the time to care for pets. Dogs are like kids; once you have more of them, they are easier to care for because they move in a pack for the most part. I have two extremely friendly and loving dogs here. We have a fenced-in yard in the back. We live in a quiet subdivision out in the country with sidewalks and other friendly dogs. Our home is dog-proofed in the sense that we have a dog gate, multiple dog beds throughout the house downstairs, and two bins of dog toys. We also keep plenty of treats for training and snacks.
“Esther has been doing drop-in visits for our Bichon since early 2024. She is so dependable, knowledgeable and kind to our Lucy, and I cannot sing her praises enough. We willl be moving but if we ever are back in the area and need a pet sitter, Esther will be the first person I call. Thankful for all her help.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on for boarding on weekend, and weekdays after 9am to 7pm for starters and see how it goes… I'd love to help with pet-sitting! But I have three dogs of my own, so I'm unable to stay overnight. However, I'd be happy to do drop-in visits to check on your dogs anytime. I'm available for afternoon visits, or whatever works best for you. Let me know if you'd like me to come by for a visit!
About: My first pet was a cat growing up, and later on I helped take care of my family’s Golden Retriever and got to watch him grow up. I’ve also pet sat through Trusted House Sitters in places like Chicago and Boston, caring for dogs in their own homes. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work remotely as a graphic designer, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I always enjoy getting outside, so spending time walking and caring for pets is the perfect break from my desk. When pet sitting, I always treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll follow your routine closely, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“Grayson is amazing!!! She took on twice-a-day visits for my asthmatic cat and provided her with so much love and attention, in addition to giving her medications/inhaler and other regular cat needs. She sent me photo updates that helped me know Winky was happy and let me enjoy my vacation without worrying. We will definitely be asking Grayson to sit for us again, she’s the best!”

“Dania was amazing!. We were nervous about leaving town and having someone care for our kitty, but Dania cared wonderfully for our fur baby, not only attending to her basic needs, but actually spending some time snuggling and playing with her. Dania also sent daily updates to give us peace of mind. Thank you so much for caring for our kitty, if we plan for another trip, we know who to call! :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,151 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ashburn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 Ashburn. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
