âWe had an amazing experience with Monquie! Ruby was well cared while we were away. Communication was excellent and received updates that made us feel comfortable throughout our stay. Highly recommended to anyone for trustworthy and caring dog sitter.â
âJen was so great taking care of our dog and our home. Very sweet and professional. It was her first time with Oscar and he unfortunately threw up while she was there. 𫣠Jen was kind enough to clean up after him with no complaints. Thank you!!â
âEmma was wonderful! She is very responsive and kept me in the loop my entire stay. I came back to a very happy pup and a clean home, looked better than I left it. Would use her again!â
âBrandon was such a joy to meet and did an EXCELLENT job with my pup. Really appreciated the regular check ins, the photos AND the courtesy in taking care of my home. Everything at home was just as I left it, which has been so HARD to find with past sitters. 10/10 recommend!!â
âTen stars. Esther is a phenomenal canine friend and our old man absolutely loves having her over for extended house sits. She takes very good care of him and sends daily, lengthy updates on everything they did that day along with adorable videos and photosâ
âRosemary was a legit godsend. She was amazing and I'm so happy I found her. My situation was very unique and she took it in stride. But the main thing was she helped my dogs feel comfortable and loved in a brand new house. She sent so many photos which helped ease my mind. Then she left my house super clean. I couldn't even tell she had been there. I will hire her again and recommend her to all my fellow dog people.â
âLaila quickly established a very positive rapport with our 10 year old black lab Milo, and after the âmeet and greetâ we were also confident and comfortable with her in housesitting overnight and caring for Milo. She was punctual and regularly communicated with us.â
âRachel is amazing! I donât trust just anyone with my dogs, but everything went smoothly from start to finish. The dogs absolutely loved Rachel, and I could tell they were comfortable and happy the whole time. Got lots of adorable photos of them cuddling too, it was such a relief knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend!!!! Thank you Rachelâ
About: Iâve been taking care of pets since Middle School! In addition to having many family pets over the years, I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of animals and have had many regulars. I treat each pet as if itâs my own and I take pet care very seriously since I also have my own and understand the importance of the care provided. I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I have worked with many rescues, large breeds, and many anxiety-ridden dogs. I have administered meds and dealt with heartworm with my rescue. I have had experience w/many special needs & seniors as well. I am currently working full time. This schedule is Tuesday-Friday. Weekday evenings after 5pm are available and Sat, Sun, and Monday are all flexible time-wise I currently have my own dogs so I would not bring animals here. I will treat each clientâs home as they prefer and Iâm very adept at adapting to different routines and environments.
âShaheen was an absolute gem of a dog sitter! We were so thankful to find someone so thoughtful and reliable to take good care of our two dogs while out of town. He gave us regular updates and adorable photos of our dogs (clearly having the best time with him) and I felt complete peace of mind that they were in good hands.â
âBeth watched our three dogs during the holidays are our house. One of our pups is a little shy and can be mean to strangers. Beth was patient and loving and our pup warmed up to her in only a couple of hours! Thanks Beth!â
âDan was AMAZING!! He really cared for my babies and sent updates a lot, which was helpful for an anxious pet parent. He's patient, thoughtful, and incredibly caring. I would recommend him to anyone!â
About: Iâve been caring for dogs for over 11 yearsâwhether in my home or theirs. Dogs are such fun, always ready to play, and both my children and I love spending time with them. They truly bring so much joy to our days! I have a flexible job and check in a few times a day. I also work from home some days, so thereâs always an adult home for TLC and potty breaks. I now live in a pet-friendly Townhome that offers plenty of comfort and care for your furry friend. While I donât have a backyard, my dog Onyx and I enjoy daily walks and outdoor time on nearby dog park. We look forward to giving your pet lots of love, playtime, and a cozy stay!
âSophie was awesome taking care of my two dogs and cat over a long weekend. She bonded with my difficult dog. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will use again.â
About: I have 1 year of hands-on pet care experience, working with non-profit organizations, adoption agencies, and volunteering in animal centers. Iâve cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. My experience includes walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and providing a safe, loving environment where pets feel at home. On weekends, my days are centered around the pets I care for. I start mornings with fresh walks or playtime at the nearby dog park to help them burn off energy and start the day happy. Throughout the day, I schedule regular potty breaks, cuddle sessions, and playtime to keep them engaged and comfortable. Because I live near several beautiful parks and trails, I love incorporating longer walks or outdoor adventures into their routine. Evenings are all about winding down with calm activities, belly rubs, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed before bedtime. Your pet becomes my priority for the time theyâre with me â I treat them like family while sticking closely to the routines youâve set for them at home. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow their routines closely to keep them happy and comfortable. I provide regular walks, feeding, play, and lots of affection, along with photo updates so you know theyâre doing great. My goal is to treat every pet like family, giving them the love, care, and attention they deserve while youâre away. I also have a gentle, pet-loving 6-year-old who enjoys spending time with animals, giving them even more love and attention.
About: I have 8 years of pet sitting experience, and have two of my own dogs! I love helping others and spending time with otherâs pets, making sure they get the care they need when their owners are away. Theyâll get plenty of ear and belly rubs, and any other stimulation that they may need. Depending on your dogs age, I can also do home visits to make sure your dog is comfortable in their own environment and also make sure they get a walk(s) in throughout the day. *meet and greets ARE required ahead of service for everyoneâs safety* I take my own pups out every 2-3 hours, pending work and meetings, but will get their walks in regularly to make sure their needs are met. I will also provide them mental stimulation on those rainy days. I keep my own dogs leashed at all times unless we are doing recall training or fetch in an environment they know and are familiar with, and will releash them when needed to keep them safe.
About: My name is Hoslan and Iâve been dog sitting/walking for almost 2 years. I have 4 of my own dogs and love them like they my own kids, when it comes to meet dogs they just love me, theyâll bark at first because they donât know me but after showing them Iâm friendly and give them love Iâll be your best dog sitter and everytime they see me theyll be excited! I work from home, and I just be on my computer in the mornings, but after Iâm done I have so much time to walk dogs, play with them, take them out to potty or anything! I have a fenced in yard, I live close by a park, and I have 4 friendly pups that will play with your pup, here in my household we all love dogs so theyâll get treated like they one of ours
About: I have worked as a dog walker/sitter professionally for a year and a half and have dog sat for several years now. Canât wait to meet your pup! iâm available in the morning and afternoon time. Feel free to shoot me a message about a different time of day for my availability. :) Whether it's in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family. That means lots of love, attention, and sticking to their routine as much as possible. I'm careful to follow feeding instructions, provide plenty of exercise and playtime, and of course, lots of cuddles. I also keep a close eye on their health and well-being, and I'm quick to contact you or a vet if I notice anything concerning.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashburn
Emma provides good updates, texts, and pictures that we greatly appreciate as traveling pet parents. We trust how she takes care of our pets and our house while we are gone. She handles a lot on her own and reaches out when necessary like when we forget to leave out the cat food. Definitely booking again!
Laila quickly established a very positive rapport with our 10 year old black lab Milo, and after the âmeet and greetâ we were also confident and comfortable with her in housesitting overnight and caring for Milo. She was punctual and regularly communicated with us.
Monique was a very responsive and conscientious companion for our dog. We are very grateful for the time she took in coming to our home, meeting our dog and being thorough with questions about our dog's care and preferences. Even though it was only a one night stay, we will definitely contact her again should we need additional coverage on future trips!
We couldnât have asked for a better dog sitter! She was absolutely amazingâattentive to every one of our dogsâ needs and incredibly communicative throughout our entire trip. She kept us updated, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, it was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them as if they were her own. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and we are so grateful! Truly the best sitter weâve ever used. We would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be using her again!
We have had Rachel watch our two dogs at our house a couple times now and I really couldnât say enough good things about our experiences with her. One of our dogs is mostly blind in one eye and needs multiple rounds of medications/eye drops which she has been able to give him without issue. We are so grateful for the ease we feel while we are away when she is watching them, knowing they are in good hands!
Ellie was a wonderful sitter. We were a little worried at first, as Ellie is younger than the usual sitters we have, but she surpassed our expectations! Both our cat and dog were very relaxed; Ellie ensured that both our pets were comfortable. It's tough enough to manage one pet, so the fact that Ellie was able to manage both our pets together proves her competence. We will definitely be hiring Ellie again in the very near future đśđş
We had an excellent experience with Carleigh as our in-home dog sitter. She stayed in our home and took wonderful care of our dog Ginger, providing plenty of love, attention, and companionship. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared, and the bond she formed with our girl was amazing to see. Ginger was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored spending time with Carleigh. Knowing our dog was being cared for by someone so trustworthy and affectionate gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Carleigh to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.
Raquel watched our 13 year old dog overnight for our wedding weekend. She was kind on time and very flexible. With the frequent walks and picture updates our girl was in good hands. We look forward to working with her again and would highly recommend her hands down.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashburn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ashburn is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $82 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,502 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashburn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ashburn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ashburn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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.
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 Justiceâs 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashburn. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
