“Brooke was amazing! She stayed at our house for 9 days watching our dog, our chickens, and a newly acquired gecko. She is an excellent communicator, keeping us informed every day with pictures and quick updates. She was an amazing houseguest, and left the house cleaner than when she got here. Our pets loved having her here and so did we. We will definitely book Brooke again.”
“Kally did an amazing job of dog sitting our Lab, Charlotte. She send us many videos and pictures during her stay, took great care of our girl and we came home to a very happy and tired pup. Her consistent communication really put me at ease as I didn’t have to worry at all during our trip! I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, be respectful of your home and honestly loves what she does! 5-stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Emma did an amazing job taking care of our dog and home while we were away! Our dog does best with someone home, and Emma made sure to keep him comfortable and happy during her stay. We came home to a clean house and happy dog. We would absolutely recommend!”
About: I took care of dogs and cats of all ages and health conditions. Administered pills and injections including insulin and subcutaneous fluids. No empty promises, just good service. I will communicate properly and timely. My work schedule is flexible and I am about to become empty nester. I work remotely and can do it from anywhere with internet access. I can follow your instructions precisely and provide feedback, photos and updates. I will play, walk, feed and comfort your pet so they feel loved.
“Ali was amazing with my pups for the weekend esp with a last min medical issue with one of my dogs that required an e-collar and extra meds. I loved being confident my dogs were well cared for! Thanks so much!!”
“Olga was very caring with our senior dog, and very responsive. She sent updates and pictures everyday so we always know how our little babies were doing! Our dog is currently in the middle of cancer treatment so her care and comfort was paramount to us and to her. We are so grateful for that. Only complaint is that our cat’s litter box was not cleaned regularly, and he began peeing on other things in response. We did not remind her to do this so we will take partial responsibility but the smell was very strong and it was clear it hadn’t been cleaned. Otherwise, we would absolutely have Olga back due to the peace of mind we had while she was watching our fur babies!”
“Lindsey was absolutely amazing! Samson took to her immediately, which says a lot because he doesn't instantly warm up to everyone. She was so kind, patient, and loving with him, and it was obvious from the start that she's a true dog person. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Lindsey to watch Samson again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog sitter!”
“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!”
“This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Gabrielle was wonderful to work with. She was communicative, kind, and reliable, and I felt comfortable having her stay at my place and care for my cat. I appreciated her update once a day and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Almedra is such a sweet heart, she took a very good care of our dogs, sent us adorable pictures and kept us updated the whole time she was here. Is was so clear how happy the dogs were with her. We will be definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Deanna was great. She checked in with us before and during her visit. We had her sit with our dog for a few hours while we went out. She took great care of him. Will definitely use again.”
About: I have been pet sitting all summer for four clients. This includes walking, overnight care, house sitting, drop in visits, car rides, and communication with owners throughout my stay. As a dog and cat owner myself, I provide care with the same attention as I give my own. I am currently a OTA student at community college and do two day a week commutes plus online classes. I have more than enough time for pet care! I am reliable and very communicative. I show loyalty to my clients and provide a very calm safe space following the owners routine while sitting.
“Rosemary took great care of my dog Beau. While I was away she provided me updates and pictures which made me feel at ease while I was away. When I came home the house was clean and tidy. I appreciate the love and care that Rosemary gave my boy.”
“Kenia was absolutely wonderful, and I would book with her again without hesitation. This was my first time having someone stay overnight in my home, so I was naturally a little nervous, but she immediately put me at ease with her communication and professionalism. She respected my home and my space exactly as we discussed, followed every instruction carefully, and even took initiative when appropriate without needing to be asked. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Luna was well cared for, happy, and comfortable when I returned. It was clear that Kenia genuinely cared about making sure both my dog and my home were well taken care of. I truly appreciated her thoughtfulness, reliability, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Kenia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, respectful, and caring pet sitter!”
“From our first meeting with Perry, we knew our beloved dog and cat were in great hands. Perry was extremely sweet, gentle and thorough caring for our senior dog and spent time getting to know our shy kitty, Eddie. Perry’s communication is excellent. She sent us lots of pictures and videos. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our dog and cat were not just walked and fed, but loved on. Our home was kept tidy as well. She is definitely on our favorites list!”

Preston is THE REAL DEAL! He was quick to communicate about arrivals, walks, playtime and departures, let me know when things didn’t look right with my dog (and made recommendations and CLEANED UP!) and let me feel like all was well while I was away for the weekend. 10/10. Thankful to have been connected to a fantastic sitter for my handsome man, Saint. ❤️
Brooke stayed at our house for 2 weeks with our ultra anxious dog + our friend’s dog. She was so good to them both and made our dog super comfortable. She communicated regularly with pictures and daily updates. We are so grateful we had a dog-sitter like her to take care of our pups and highly recommend her to anyone with an anxious dog!
Corinne was so amazing with our anxious boy, we could not recommend her enough and look forward to the next time she sits for Hobbes! This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous. From offering a meet and greet where she answered all our questions and listened to our (slightly anxious) directions about how to care for Hobbes to watching Hobbes with such great care these past few days and giving us regular video / photo updates, exercising and playing with him lots, ensuring he had plenty of treats, pets, and food - she was amazing! She also left our home in such a clean condition. Thanks again for caring for Hobbes so well, Corinne!
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've had Hilary stay with our 105-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback at our house several times now, and this was the second time she watched him while we were traveling overseas. Leaving for an international trip is stressful enough, so having someone we completely trust made a huge difference. She always follows our care instructions, takes great care of our dog, and keeps us updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. She's quick to respond, flexible if plans change, and always treats our home with respect. We never have to worry about either our dog or our house when she's there. The biggest sign of how great she is is how much our dog loves her. During one night while we were away, a storm came through, and he was scared. Instead of pacing around the house, he wanted to sleep in the bedroom with her, which says a lot about how comfortable and safe he feels with her. We feel completely at ease leaving both our dog and our home in her care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter.
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!
Karah is truly exceptional! She went above and beyond caring for our two dogs and our home while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. Our pups were happy, loved, and so well cared for, and our home was spotless when we returned. Her communication was outstanding, with thoughtful updates that let us fully enjoy our vacation. It’s rare to find someone this trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Karah again and recommend her without reservation!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashburn Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashburn Junction on Rover is $42 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 9,470 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashburn Junction. 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 Junction 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 Junction 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.
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 Junction 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 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 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 .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashburn Junction. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
