About: I grew up with dogs and now have two dogs of my own! I know what it’s like to leave your fur babies and will treat them like my own! I’ve cared for puppies to elderly dogs, high energy to low energy. My dogs get along very well with dogs of all ages and sizes! I can’t wait to watch your fur babies! I work full time (hybrid) but always make time for my high energy pups! Whether that’s a long walk, run, a game of fetch or a swim, I’ll make the time to give your pet what they need. I have two very friendly pups for your fur baby to play with. Plenty of parks in the area for outside activities. My house is dog safe and very clean!
“Steffany was amazing. She did drop in visits for our two large dogs on a short notice. Was very professional and we didn’t have to worry at all. Thank you Steffany you allowed us to enjoy our trip!”
“It was such a pleasure to have Angela take care of our two cats while we were on vacation. Prior to leaving on vacation , she came to the house for drop-in visits to get acquainted with the cats. Angela is very personable and professional. The family enjoyed looking at the pictures she sent twice a day. I will definitely use her again!”
About: My experience with dogs is very wide. I am a previous owner of a Goldendoodle and also a Boykin Spaniel. I have taken care of my friends houses and pets before and also helped out with potty breaks for many of my friends dogs. I currently also am a nursing student and working towards my nursing degree:) I am a student as of right now working part time at the hospital, but definitely have much time to help out with furry friends. I am able to walk pets around my neighborhood or come to my clients house and play with the dog and also take them out for potty breaks. I also have experience with crate training.
About: I have spent majority of my life caring for a wide range of animals from dogs and cats to ducks, rodents, and reptiles. I have one beagle who loves playing with others and we would love some company for our walks and adventures. I am acclimated to cats and dogs of all ages, I am used to giving medications (including allergy injections) and pets with food sensitivities. If you have a fur baby that needs some exercise or company, my beagle and I would love to meet them for either a casual stroll through a neighborhood, a trail walk through the woods, or even for short visits to dog parks followed by soapy baths. Let me know what your pet needs are and I am happy to accommodate. On weekdays, I am available 3-7:30 most afternoons. If I am going to your home and your home happens to be near my work place, I may also occasionally be able to pop in for a short visit 9:45-10:30. At my home: Your dog has options. I have a puppy proofed kitchen that has access to a dog door with a fenced in yard. This space is separated from the rest of my home via a doggy gate and is a wonderful space where I leave my pup to play during the day while I am at work. This space has continual access to water, dog beds, toys, and the fenced in yard. Additionally, if there is a fur friend that is in need of a more private secluded space, I also have 2 medium dog crates with soft blankets and chewies. The crates will limit your pups interactions and protect them while I am away from the household for work. When I am home, the dogs will be with me throughout my entire house, they will be brought on walks, fun outdoor adventures, played with, fed, pet, they can sleep in the bed or on the floors, and they can be bathed if necessary. We can even take car rides to go out on fun hikes if you are interested in your dog having access to opportunities like that (they are our favorite.) They will continually have a beagle playmate happy to have companionship. Cats will have a secluded room to stay in, as they are often more sensitive to new spaces, and they will get plenty of snuggles and affection each day in their own private room. At your home: I will arrive in the afternoons with my beagle to play with your pups and to go on walking adventures. I can follow whatever particular protocols you have in place for your dogs, their food/med routines, etc. We will play together and spend time outside on adventures. I can take your pup with me in my car to go on hikes or we can keep the visit completely local. For cats, my dog will not come with me and I will enter the home to address whatever needs your cat may have, whether it be cleaning litter boxes or giving cans of wet food.
“From the moment we did our meet and greet with Preston (which he accommodated last minute) we knew our babies would be safely watched over. Preston has a calm demeanor and is passionate about animals. He does his research and was nice to work with! He responded to all our messages and sent updated pics/videos. Our pups were happy and safe. Thank you!”
About: Hello, My name is Katie and I have been caring for animals my whole life. I am a manager at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility. I have been working for my job for 19 years and I love going to work to be with and care for dogs of any size/breed/age. I have my career diploma as a Vet Assistant and Dog Groomer. I have watched cats and small animals as well with no problems. I currently have 3 dogs of my own and lots of personal references. I am very dependable and trusting, my ultimate goal is to meet the needs and wants of your fur babies and you! Please consider me to do the job and You and your pet won’t be disappointed:) I am available early afternoons, mid afternoons, and evenings Monday-Friday, with most all day Saturday and Sundays. On my days off from work I can can be available anytime that day! The safety and well being is the most important thing for your fur baby, I can provide that at all lengths you wish. I always double leash when on walks to ensure safety. I always clean up accidents if any and make sure your pet is always happy!
“Andrew handled my dog amazingly. My dog is typically pretty hard to work with if you don’t know him and he took on the challenge and executed perfectly, way better than I expected anyone else to be able to handle my dog. I would highly recommend booking Andrew for any kind of visit he offers because I know he will go above and beyond. His service was greatly appreciated and I will be booking him in the future when he is available. Phenomenal service. 6/5 stars if I could.”
About: My children and I currently have a golden doodle named Phoenix! He's been a member of our family shortly after he became 8 weeks old. With all of his energy, he keeps us on our toes and we've helped him to learn about 36 commands together in a brief timeframe. Although, our time together has only amounted to a couple of years, I also grew up with a family that had two border collies, Midnight and C.J., as part of our family. #FourLeggedFun Different from how it was growing up, over the last few years, I have quickly learned about how essential it is to understand canine philosophy and pack mentality with dogs. This has allowed our family to train Phoenix in a way that puts his needs first while still allowing us to get the benefit of loving on him in a way that he can feel loved too. I currently work until the early afternoon on the weekdays. So, I have plenty of time to get a few walks in before bed time :-). On the weekends, I am available from the early afternoons until late evening. I would love to share some outside time with your furry friends. Safety is key for both your pet and myself. As such, I will treat your pets with love, respect, and kindness just as if they were my own. I'll be mindful of the temperature outside, as well as, the walking path that we may take. And, if I notice anything out of the ordinary about your pet during our walk I will be sure to keep you informed. Additionally, please let me know what your pet(s) are accustomed to and I'll do my best to accommodate their needs.
About: I've had pet dogs for nearly 20 years now, and I love being around them! I love being active and exercising with my dog and I'm a big believer that a well-exercised dog is a well behaved dog. I work full-time, but I am available late afternoon into the evenings and all day/night on the weekends. In some cases I might be able to do morning walks. My dog is house trained and has freedom to roam in the home. The house is void of anything that could endanger a pet. My dog is only here half of the time, so in many instances, your dog will be the only one here.
“Had a wonderful meet and greet with Brandon for my pup. Brandon was great in communication and just a joy to meet. Very obvious he loves dogs and takes this work seriously, which makes me less nervous to welcome someone new into our fold for the care of my big man 🐶. Booked for a walk and really appreciated the notes and special care of my dog and home during intimate weather. 10/10 ⭐️”
“Mercedez was absolutely wonderful with our terrible trio of cats. She dealt easily with the medical needs of our senior cat, including giving fluids several times. She also managed to coax out Manny, who doesn't like change and spooks easily, and get him to not only be in the same room but actually let her pet him. Moe was his usual attention-seeking self and she kept him happy too. Mercedez was great with communication and providing pictures the entire time we were gone. I strongly recommend her as a pet sitter and will certainly ask her to watch the cats again.”
“Super happy with the care provided for my dog and cat during the drop-in visit. Both were well taken care of. I had a last minute trip and June was available to assist. I appreciated the updates and photos, and it gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

Sean went above and beyond taking care of our pup. Our girl absolutely LOVES Sean and he deserves 6/5 stars. He provided us plenty of updates to feel at ease while we were away AND was so flexible considering it was a little last minute on our part since our previous plans fell through but that didn’t phase him. Genuinely a great guy. Would absolutely book again.
Sofia was fantastic and patient with our puppy who has a lot of energy. We needed to find someone last minute to come to our house early in the morning and Sofia responded right away, we were able to set up a meet and greet quickly and the day she took care of our puppy went great - our puppy really loves her! We’ve already booked her for more visits. I really appreciate how quickly she got back to me when I had questions and instructions and I highly recommend her!
Excellent dog walker! They arrived right on time, took great care of my dog, and sent adorable pictures during the walk, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated the updates and communication. I would definitely recommend them and will happily book again! 🐾

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.
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 Ashburn 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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
