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 a godsend. We left our Yorkie for 8 days to travel across country and she housesat and cared for Dillon. I left extensive instructions for feeding, walks and medication and she not only followed them to a tee but also sent messages and video of each interaction. I mentioned he had started the bad habit of wanting to be hand fed, unfortunately, and she did so without question. I think she eventually broke him off it as we haven't had to do it since returning. She left the house in perfect shape. She is positive, communicative and responsible. I would highly recommend her to any pet parent.”

“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!”

“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!”

About: I have 8 years of pet sitting experience, and have two of my own dogs! I love helping others and spending time with other’s pets, making sure they get the care they need when their owners are away. They’ll get plenty of ear and belly rubs, and any other stimulation that they may need. Depending on your dogs age, I can also do home visits to make sure your dog is comfortable in their own environment and also make sure they get a walk(s) in throughout the day. *meet and greets ARE required ahead of service for everyone’s safety* I take my own pups out every 2-3 hours, pending work and meetings, but will get their walks in regularly to make sure their needs are met. I will also provide them mental stimulation on those rainy days. I keep my own dogs leashed at all times unless we are doing recall training or fetch in an environment they know and are familiar with, and will releash them when needed to keep them safe.

She was incredibly sweet, communicative, and thoughtful, and I felt so comfortable knowing Nacho was in good hands. It’s not easy trusting someone with both your fur baby and your home, but Evelyn truly put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for her help and happily booked with her again for another upcoming weekend. Highly recommend!💕”

My dogs need people to follow specific instructions or there will be problems and Derek followed them all and went above and beyond keeping us updated. The house and dogs looks great when we returned with all instructions followed despite booking Derek last minute. My dogs can be a bit much so was a relief having to not have to worry about them constantly while away since Derek clearly had it in hand. Would book again for sure

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!

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 🐶😺

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 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 Brambleton. 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.
