“Jake was great! Inde seemed to really enjoy her time with him. We received updates while we were away, as well as pictures. Our apartment was also left completely clean. Will absolutely be booking him again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: Hello, my name is Derek. I started walking dogs 4 years ago and after a move and a brief break, I’m back in Brambleton offering my services. I’ve always had a dog in my household since I was a kid, and I’ve been my extended family’s go to dog sitter for years. I have extensive experience walking and looking after dogs of all sizes and personalities. From anxious to energetic, I have a lot of patience and genuinely enjoy taking care of the animals that mean so much to us and our families. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you and take care of your dog(s)! I work remote so my schedule is pretty flexible, allowing me to match your dog’s needs. I can also accommodate last minute, day of requests if they align with my availability. My flexible work schedule allows me to give specific attention to your dog throughout the day. I love to send pictures and share updates for owners that can never have too many photos of their dog in their camera roll! Please share you and your dog’s preferences. I want to be sure I can create a safe, comfortable environment so that your pet can thrive
“Esther was great! I can’t recommend her enough. She sent me plenty of pictures and videos so I knew Lola was okay and having a great time. Can’t wait to work with her again and I know Lola feels the same.”
“Rosemary did a great job house sitting for us for 9 days and taking care of our 2 small dogs. She is very responsive with communication, regularly sent photos, and kept us informed. Upon our return, the dogs were healthy & happy, and the house was neat and clean (with one exception - which was remedied easily enough). We appreciate her help and will call upon her again! Thanks Rosemary!”
“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!”
“Perry is the best! She sends videos and pictures so you can love on your baby from afar! Our dog had the best time with her and we know she was well taken care of and loved! We will definitely be using her again!”
“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.”
“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 are so fortunate to have found Kalpana on Rover! She took excellent care of our two dogs, (and also our home) for 9 days. The pups were happy and enjoyed nice twice daily walks, backyard play and snuggles. Kalley took care of their feeding including a daily med for one dog. It was clear that the dogs were totally comfortable and happy with her and she spent a lot of quality time with them. We didn't need to worry about package deliveries, trash day, or watering plants - those were taken care of. Kalley left our home immaculate, even washing sheets and making up the bed fresh. We definitely plan to use Kalley again when dog-/house-sitting comes up again.”
About: I've have helped out with my family, friends, and Neighbors cats and dogs for about five years. I have experience with walking, feeding, and care taking for large dog breeds, spunky cats, and extremely anxious pets. Thus, I can support animals with all different types of needs! I am currently teleworking full time during the day (typically 8-4), but am available for lunch time playtime and walks. I am available to help on most weekends when out of town or in the evenings when life gets busy. Since I telework, my schedule is fairly flexible! Since I have experience with different types of pets, I am well suited to support your animal in the right way. I have two German Shepard dogs which require skill and responsibility to handle, along with an anxious pup who has particular needs. If instructions are left, I know how important it is to follow them to protect the animals and myself.
“Desi was an excellent sitter for our puppy Melo! She took great care of him, provided excellent communication and sent the best photos of him while we were away. We felt like he was in great hands and for that we are so grateful. Cannot recommend Desi enough!”
“This is the second time Stephanie has sat for our cat, Midnight. She was well cared for. Stephanie played with Midnight and made sure Midnight was kept on her special diet of wet food. She also kept us informed with updates and pictures. We look forward to having Stephanie watch Midnight again.”
“I can't recommend Peggy highly enough. She stepped in on just three days' notice after our original sitter canceled, and handled everything seamlessly. Our dog has anxiety, but she was patient and attentive, and kept us updated with regular check-ins throughout the trip. She also left our house spotless — her attention to detail was outstanding.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Brambleton is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brambleton
Brandon was such a joy to meet and did an EXCELLENT job with my pup. Really appreciated the regular check ins, the photos AND the courtesy in taking care of my home. Everything at home was just as I left it, which has been so HARD to find with past sitters. 10/10 recommend!!
Desi was awesome with our shih tzu Tinker! In her first overnight stay with him, she immediately learned to read his behaviors, and quickly earned his trust and right to cuddle. She was incredibly attentive and thorough, sending periodic updates that gave us confidence all was on track. She even got Tinker to walk without forcing him - a feat few sitters have been able to master! She's got the golden touch! She ensured his meds were administered on time and she was diligent in adhering to his overall schedule. Tinker was very calm upon our return - a huge accomplishment since he tends to get very anxious during our trips. We highly recommend Desi!
Jake was great! Inde seemed to really enjoy her time with him. We received updates while we were away, as well as pictures. Our apartment was also left completely clean. Will absolutely be booking him again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.
This was our first time not using a family member to watch our dog and Kayla was truly amazing! She came to our home to meet our dog before spending the week with him to make sure he was comfortable with her. Not only did she keep our mind at ease with updates and pictures throughout the week, but she spend quality time with our dog and gave exceptional love and care like he was one of her own. We are so appreciative of her and her wonderful care and would 100% recommend her to anyone.
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 🐶😺
Beth is a wonderful pet sitter. She stays at our condo with our 2 dogs. We have used her multiple times and for some longer (2 weeks) trips. The dogs are always happy to see her and I know they get lots of attention and love. Beth goes beyond expectations with communication- she replies quickly and always puts our mind at ease. We highly recommend Beth.
We have used Phillip multiple times now and every time he is very communicative and accepting of our requests which is helpful when dealing with separation anxiety. This time we had an extra dog and extra complications and he still handled everything and house was in great condition when we came back (despite my dogs themselves making messes that he cleaned) Would use again

FAQs for House Sitting - Brambleton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brambleton is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $97 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 9,443 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brambleton. 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 Brambleton 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 Brambleton 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 Brambleton 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.
