“Monique provided truly excellent care and attention to my 2 (challenging) dogs while house sitting for the past 5 days! So thankful for her patience while getting to know the dogs and establishing trust with each of them.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This mother/daughter duo is amazing! They took care of my senior dog over the Holidays and gave her non stop attention and care. They administered pills, stayed with her all day, sent plenty of pictures and stayed in great contact with us while we were gone. Would absolutely recommend them to care for your furry family member ❤️”
“Cannot say enough good things about Lindsey! She did an amazing job watching our little dachshund for an overnight. She communicated with pics and videos throughout the day/evening, and I can tell my pup loved her. Will absolutely hire her again!”
“Outstanding service from Jess. I received daily reports and pics of my little fur baby. Gave me assurance she was in good hands. Highly recommend Jess as a trustworthy pet sitter”
“Tony seemed completely at ease with Diana and seemed to settle into his normal routine. I loved the updates, in which he looked truly happy. This was our best experience so far with an overnight sitter and we would gladly book again with Diana!”
“Maryann was great! She was super attentive to our pets and treated them so well. She communicated with us throughout the weekend. We will definitely like to work with her again.”
“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!”
“Jake was well taken care of and updates were plentiful. He really seems to enjoy hanging out with Rasha and we appreciated being kept in the loop with how it was going! She did well following our dog’s complicated diabetes regimen and insulin shots!”

About: I've been cat and dog sitting since 2016, staying at friends and family members' homes to provide care for pets while they're away. From that experience, I've learned about feeding, walking, and giving attention to each pet's needs. I'm always curious to learn more about them and being a reliable pet sitter for the family. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I work fully remote. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is flexible. I just need a heads up at least 3+ days prior to make sure it works with my schedule. I prefer to stay at the client's home while they're away, so the pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space and get attention during the day.
“Jennifer did so great with my pups. This was my first time using the overnight part of this service, so I was a little nervous at first but she did a great job providing notes of everything we had gone over and was also very flexible with the timing of the stay. She cared for both my senior dog and puppy at the same time and did a great job with them. Would recommend her to anyone who needs care for their pups.”
About: I have worked as a dog walker/sitter professionally for a year and a half and have dog sat for several years now. Can’t wait to meet your pup! i’m 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.
“Skylar was spectacular watching our pups. We recently moved to the area from out of state, and have had the same dog sitter for a while. He had big shoes to fill, and he did a great job. Our dogs are very picky eaters and they tend to go on "hunger strike" when we go out of town. Skylar went above and beyond, and whipped them up some food to get them to eat so they wouldn't get sick. He provided several photos of puppy cuddles, and would update me each day which was very much appreciated. He was amazing, and we'll definitely be booking him again.”
About: I'm an animal lover and mom to one sweet Siamese cat myself. I have years of experience taking care of family and friends' pets while they are out and about and find great joy in helping pet parents feel comfortable about taking some time away from their fur babies! I'm currently working remotely and therefore have a pretty flexible schedule. Always looking for an in-office buddy (AKA next to me on the couch) if your fur baby is interested! I like to feel out what your pet wants from me first, and am very adaptable depending on the vibe of the situation! More than happy to play and engage with a more social pet, and equally happy to just chill in the company of more introverted ones. I also love snapping quick candids and sending them your way to keep you posted on what they're up to, so be prepared to hear from me!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashburn Junction
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!
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!
Brooke is an outstanding caretaker of our dog, Zoey. Brooke is extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors and is absolutely fantastic with our fear-based reactive dog. She gives us daily updates with photos, giving us peace of mind that our dog is so well cared for. Based upon her feedback, we see and know that Zoey is secure and happy under the care of Brooke. We recommend her highly!
Shaheen 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.
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!
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.
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 Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ashburn Junction is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $94 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 November 2026, there are 9,406 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashburn Junction. 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.
