“Monique was a great sitter! She asked questions, followed the pet/house sitting instructions I left and communicated timely. She sent daily updates with pictures and gave Heidi lots of love. I would definitely it book her again.”
“Jaida wad great! Kept in constant contact and it was clear my dogs were having a phenomenal time! She also took great care of my home and it looked as good, if not better, than when I left! My 4 dogs and I are so grateful for her help!!!”
“Almendra was fantastic, she was very responsive and took great care of my dogs while away... I appreciate the pictures from walks or meals and updates throughout the day. Definitely made my trip less stressful, I know who to contact if I need someone to check in or stay with my pups. ?”
“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ali communicated really well and sent us pictures of Jackson over the two days. She even took Jackson for a car ride, which he loves! She also put the sheets and towels in the washer from the bed she stayed in, which was really helpful and much appreciated!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 4 years and currently share my home with 4 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals is just part of my everyday life. I’ve watched pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and I’ve consistently gotten great feedback for being reliable, attentive, and treating every pet like my own. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable, whether that’s a specific feeding schedule, playtime preferences, or more. Your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me! I’m home for the summer before starting full time work in the fall, so my schedule is wide open right now. I can do daily walks, drop ins, or daycare any day of the week, mornings or afternoons, without restriction! I’m also flexible for last minute requests since I don’t have a fixed work schedule to plan around. Once fall hits my availability will shift, but for now I have plenty of time to give your pet attention and exercise. I’m comfortable following whatever routine or rules you have set up, whether that’s feeding times, medication, leash rules, or specific areas your pet is or isn’t allowed in. I always make sure doors and gates are secure before and after walks/check-ins, and I’ll send updates or photos so you know your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
About: I love taking care of dogs, i’m very patient and understanding. I pay attention to detail and am very respectful of your house and dogs. I’m a college student athlete and I am currently on summer break so I’m available full-time and can work on weekends to fit your schedule. I love my dogs. I spend time with them daily and go on daily walks. I enjoy feeding and giving them treats and am flexible to any rules.
About: Growing up, my family has owned many dogs and other pets, and I have always been heavily involved in their care. I had a dog walking business a few years ago, and I regularly watched the dogs of our friends and neighbors. My family also fostered a dog for a time, which I was heavily involved in. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to walk and care for many different dogs through Rover. Throughout all of these experiences, I have had to care for many different types of dogs, both big and small, and old and young. As a result, I am comfortable with all types of breeds and know how to navigate challenges when it comes to pet care. Most importantly, I love dogs! I am available every day of the week from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. I am very flexible and can always find time to accommodate other schedules. Please check my calendar for any days marked unavailable. When caring for dogs in the homes of others, I make sure that they are comfortable, well fed, and loved. When walking dogs, I always make sure to go at their pace, pick up after them, and keep them safe.
“Rachel was so great with our very active high energy mini Aussie. She took Stevie on lots of outings and stayed at our house which was more comfortable for our dog. So thankful to have found our dog a new buddy!”
“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.”
“Maitri was wonderful with our two dogs when staying overnight with them in our home. She spent lots of quality time with them, communicated great & treated our home and dogs with respect. We are excited to work with her in the future.”
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.
“Magdalena did an amazing job taking care of my Dog and two cats! They loved her so much they were sorry to see her go! She kept me informed with photos and check-ins throughout some holiday travel. I can’t recommend her enough! Book with confidence!”
About: Experience caring for neighborhood dogs and cats, including walking, feeding, and playing. Former associate of Petsmart’s Pet Hotel. There, I cared for boarded dogs individually and by surveying doggie day camps (groups of 10-15 dogs). I also cared for cats staying at Petsmart. Morning, afternoon, and evening availability during the week. Full availability on weekends. However, willing to adapt and provide the best care possible for your pets. I live with three well-behaved cats that are well-fed and well played with. When dogsitting for others, I follow the owners guidelines and have experience in walking, fenced yard time, and crating.

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!
Monique stepped in very last minute when a booked sitter fell through. She was very responsive, attentive, and caring to my pet's complicated senior needs. The house was just as we left it on return. Thanks again Monique for giving us peace of mind during a stressful situation.
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 🐶😺

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.

I would highly recommend Carleigh to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.
Brooke just completed in-house sitting for our mixed pittie girl, Zoey. Zoey LOVES her! Brooke kept us apprised with updates and pictures and it is clear that Zoey has bonded with Brooke. Brooke is loving, calm, diligent, and proactive in communications. We lucked out finding her and I give her the highest rating possible!
Kally was an outstanding dog sitter, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. She was fantastic with our dogs, making sure they were well cared for, comfortable, and happy while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. Kally kept us informed with regular updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. She was always punctual, dependable, and professional, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets. We returned home to happy dogs and a great overall experience. We will definitely be using Kally again in the future!
Hilary took such amazing care of both of our dogs over Memorial Day weekend. She went above and beyond in every way possible. Despite the rainy weather all weekend, she made sure they were walked frequently and well cared for, and it was obvious how much love and attention she gave them. She kept our house incredibly clean and tidy, sent frequent detailed updates and photos so we always knew how the dogs were doing, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, we had an unexpected freezer leak while she was staying at the house. Hilary immediately notified us, handled the situation herself, and cleaned up the mess without hesitation. She truly treated our home and dogs like they were her own. We came home to happy dogs and a house in even better shape than we left it. I cannot recommend Hilary enough and will absolutely use her again anytime she’s available!
We were extremely nervous about leaving our high energy 90 lb dog and our spoiled princess of a cat for our 12 day vacation. Sophia is responsible, smart, energetic, and patient. She sent numerous pictures and updates daily which really allowed us to relax knowing the animals were doing well. Sophia was very communicative via text keeping us informed of their eating habits and activities. Both animals thrived under Sophia’s care! She started out as our pet sitter but honestly feels now like she’s part of our family.
Chelsea took amazing care of our two senior pups during our week long vacation. They are both picky eaters and she pulled out all the tricks to keep them fed while we were gone. She is super communicative and responsive. She understands how stressful it can be for pet parents to be away from their fur babies. We will continue to trust her with our dogs.
Rachel went well above and beyond during her stay with our two dogs and two cats!! She stayed with us during a tornado warning and horrible weather. Not only did she communicate well, she was a calming force for the animals. The pups created some interesting events for Rachel and she handled everything with ease. I highly recommend Rachel and plan to invite her back soon for another trip!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashburn Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashburn Junction on Rover is $42.49 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,628 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.

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.
