“Nicole is the best. Sparky loves her - he always gets great playtime as well as getting the necessities taken care of. She goes over and above and treats my guy like she would her own.”
“Huckleberry was so excited to see Corinne after our meet and greet! Corinne was kind to Huck and gave him extra water and pets after his second walk of the day! Corinne genuinely likes animals and she was kind enough to accommodate my ever-changing schedule. Thanks Corinne !”
“Valerie did an amazing job taking care of our cats and kept us up-to-date while we were gone. Both of our cats had health conditions, one is asthmatic, and the other needs a probiotic. She did a wonderful job managing the medications. We will definitely reach out to Valerie again in the future!”
“Sofia took great care of my cats. Her daily check in’s were thorough and she took time to get to know the cats and make sure they had everything they needed. Felt safe and relaxed knowing she was so reliable.”
“Aly is great and very trustworthy! Meet and greet went great and she took care of my cat very well during a trip I had to take. Went above and beyond to try and get through very inclement weather to give my cat some medication as well. Very responsive and provided great updates. Could always rely on her! Definitely booking again!”

About: I've had the joy of caring for my elderly beagle for several years, and that experience has given me a deep understanding of a dog’s needs—especially when it comes to patience, gentle handling, and attentiveness. From slow strolls to knowing when they need extra comfort, I’ve learned how to support dogs at all stages of life. I bring that same care, calm energy, and reliability to every walk and visit. I’m dog walking on a part time basis, except Tuesdays and Thursdays, but can be available some weekends. I am also local for holidays so can be available. Since I used to have an elderly dog, I am familiar with the different parks and also have a pet friendly rooftop area in my apartment building.
“Excellent sitter! Great communication and prompt responses! Alexis loved on our old grumpy kitty while we were away and was super patient and kind to her. I will definitely use Alexis next time!”
About: Hey there, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 Are you seeking top-notch care and companionship for your furry friend? Look no further! I'm a dedicated 24-year-old with a passion for pups, working from home and ready to give your dog the time of their life. My mini Labradoodle, trained as my emotional support dog, is the epitome of sweetness and charm. Together, we offer tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of love. Plus, with the convenience of living right across the street from Shirlington Dog Park, your pup will have endless opportunities for fun and socialization. With flexible scheduling and personalized attention, your pup will feel right at home. Pet care is a cornerstone of my daily routine, woven seamlessly into each day. Mornings kick off with a refreshing walk or play session, setting the tone for a day filled with fun and activity. Throughout the day, I make sure to check in on my furry friend, offering companionship and care as needed. Whether it's a midday stroll, some playtime at the dog park, or simply cuddling up on the couch, my pet's well-being is always a top priority. In the evenings, we wind down together, enjoying quality time and relaxation. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are paramount when caring for pets, especially in the unique setting of an apartment. In my home, I ensure that all potential hazards are removed or secured, creating a safe space for pets to roam and play.
“Ashley has been so good to Dozer. She is his weekly companion for lunch time walks. She is quick to respond and communicates when she has a scheduling conflict. We have enjoyed Dozer's pics for every walk. Thank you Ashley!”
“Lesley is great! Didn’t have any worries while being out of town. Kitties were well cared for and I got a picture every day. So happy with her level of service. Thank you! Highly recommend.”
“Emma is so great! I asked her day-of if she would be able to quickly meet my dogs to then pet-sit for them the day after, and she confirmed! She’s super personable, and sent a lot of pictures. She went above-and-beyond. Thank you, Emma!”
About: I have taken care of, sat, and walked other dogs not just my own dogs for almost 10 years. I love dogs of all kinds! As someone who tries to maintain a balanced schedule, pet care is something I like to do when I have the free time during my day. I love giving my own dogs walks and I try to walk them at least once a day. Depending on what your rules are, I will respect and honor what you wish for me to do with your dog. I like to make sure that dogs are in the safest environment as well as being loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashburn
Nicole was excellent to work with! We enjoyed our week-long vacation worry-free knowing that our cat was in such great hands! She provided detailed and hilarious updates throughout the week with sweet and goofy cat pics to go along with. I will absolutely be reaching out in the future and hope others do too!
Kelsey was fantastic in taking care of our two boys! She was very accommodating, communicative, and friendly. Her update cards were thorough with tons of pictures at each visit. It was clear that they loved her as well! The updates we received showed them having a good time and we came home to two happy and healthy cats! She even cleaned up some messes they made while we were away. We could not have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Kelsey in the future!!
Sydney was great! We booked last minute and were really relieved she was able to drop in on our kitties while we were away. She communicated well and made us feel like we didn’t have to worry. I realized I missed a few things in my instructions but she was able to roll with it and take care of everything. We really appreciated her help and would be happy to book with her again.
Kayla is a wonderful Rover! She was communicative while we were away and sent lots of photos of our furbabies. We are new to the area and our home and had some technology issues with our lock. She was patient and kind as we worked through these challenges. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 15,157 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ashburn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ashburn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
