“Another amazing booking with Monique! Our puppy and cat were so excited to have her back! She went above and beyond when she left and put her sheets in the wash, emptied all the trash cans and put away all the dishes. She also vacuumed and tidied up the house. She is very respectful of your home and very responsible with your pets. Our cat spent the next few days after we returned going into the guest room to look for Monique. I know he will be very happy when she comes back for another vacation booking :-)”
“I can't say enough good things about Sanya! After an initial meeting with us, she came and stayed with our two anxious rescue dogs. I think her calm presence and demeanor was so comforting for them (and us!) They seemed to warm up quickly and were cuddled up on the couch with her in no time. She was very communicative with us throughout our trip, with pictures and updates, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing our babies were in such good hands. Thank you so much, Sanya! We look forward to booking with you again!”
“Lindsey took such good care of my boys, Milo and Mack while we were gone for a weekend. I highly recommend her. She is very sweet with them and spent time playing and loving on them. She gave them their pills, watered my plants, made sure they were happy. I will definitely hire her again!🥰🐶”
“Jen 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. 🫣 Jen was kind enough to clean up after him with no complaints. Thank you!!”
“Katerina is absolutely the best!!! I highly recommend her. She is a caring and compassionate person and your pet is in the best hands possible. She stayed overnight with my Bichon for two weeks and Chloe was happy and well taken care of. I never even once worried about her because Katerina is so amazing!!! I would absolutely request Katerina in the future without a doubt. Look no further for your pets care. Katerina is the one!”
“Rachel is amazing! I don’t 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 Rachel”
“We had a great experience with Rosemary! She came early so the dogs could warm up to her, which we really appreciated. She took amazing care of them while we were away and sent tons of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and well loved. Highly recommend!”
“Vinnie was great! He sent pictures of our dog (she looked very happy) to update us on how she was doing. We could tell she had a great time with him. He also was very respectful of our space and kept it in good condition while we were gone. Would highly recommend Vinnie to anyone for pet/house sitting.”
“Sofia watched my two dogs for almost a week, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. She sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the week, took them on walks, gave them plenty of snuggles, and treated them like they were her own. It was so comforting knowing they were well cared for while I was away. Sofia is trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring, and I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as if they were her own, I highly recommend Sofia!”
“Raquel took great care of my dog and left my home in pristine condition while house sitting. She was highly communicative throughout the stay and made sure that my dog went out for plenty of walks and had lots of indoor play time. My dog does not do well with other dogs and Raquel did a great job in avoiding any issues while on walks. I would highly recommend Raquel’s services!”

“Tori did a fantastic job with our dog. He absolutely loved her. She took very good care of home as well. She kept us updated and sent multiple pictures everyday. We will definitely use Tori again in the future.”
“Laila was incredible! My boys had the best time with her. They went on so many walks, had so much play time, and received an abundance of attention. Both of them pull quite a bit on their walks, and she got them to relax and enjoy the scenery! Not only that, she managed to tire my super energetic 6 y/o out (which is basically impossible) Laila sent a bunch of pictures & videos & remained extremely responsive the entire time. If I could leave her more than 5 stars, I would!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashburn
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was absolutely amazing—attentive to every one of our dogs’ 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 we’ve 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 couldn’t 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 🐶😺
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ashburn is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $81 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 pet’s 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 October 2026, there are 9,479 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 sitter’s 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 home’s security or appliances.
It’s 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 they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
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 .
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 .
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.
