“Monique took care of our fur babies for a day and overnight. She did a good job with the dogs and they loved her. She was flexible and was able to do a short notice. She kept us updated with a lot pictures of our dogs.”
“Melinda is the best dog sitter hands down. She provides frequent updates and pictures and took great care of our home. I will definitely use her in the future. She is a gem.”
“Jennifer is wonderful with our pets and also very considerate, leaving our house cleaner than when we left. It's nice to be able to relax on vacation without worrying about how things are going at home. With Jennifer we know everything's fine. Highly recommend her!”
“Esther is amazing! She took such compassionate, attentive care of our dog Lua, who was recovering from having eight teeth removed and two mast cell tumors removed. She handled everything with great attention to detail — you can tell she genuinely cares. Lua adores her, which says it all. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I also own one myself, so I’m very experienced and comfortable taking care of yours. Available Monday through Friday before 2:00 PM and for overnight stays. I’m very flexible, so if you need a specific hour, just reach out and we can work it out! We have a fenced backyard and plenty of toys, plus a fluffy carpet and couches where they’re welcome to lounge. My dog is very independent and likes his own space, so he won't bother yours. If your dog wants to play, he's happy to join in.
“Deanna was great! Would love to have her watch Hobbes for future vacations! House and cat left just as she found them and I really appreciated the pictures and videos and updates on how he was doing!”
“Vinnie was great! He sent pictures of our dog (she looked very happy) to update us on how she was doing. We could tell she had a great time with him. He also was very respectful of our space and kept it in good condition while we were gone. Would highly recommend Vinnie to anyone for pet/house sitting.”
“Beth is fabulous! Took great care of my special-needs guy, keeping in great contact with us and allowing me to feel confident while we were away that he was being taken great care of!”
About: My experience with dogs is very wide. I am a previous owner of a Goldendoodle and also a Boykin Spaniel. I have taken care of my friends houses and pets before and also helped out with potty breaks for many of my friends dogs. I currently also am a nursing student and working towards my nursing degree:) I am a student as of right now working part time at the hospital, but definitely have much time to help out with furry friends. I am able to walk pets around my neighborhood or come to my clients house and play with the dog and also take them out for potty breaks. I also have experience with crate training.
About: I am searching for dog walking positions in Leesburg and Ashburn. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is I will connect a strong bond with your pet, make sure they are as comfortable as possible, and I will give your pet exactly what they need. I will make sure they are happy, healthy, safe and having fun. I do have experience in giving medication (orally) if your pet needs it. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats before. I also have had a couple years of dog walking, and I also have a pet of my own. I have worked at a doggy daycare so I have experience with a whole mix of dog breeds of all ages. I am hardworking, efficient, and friendly. I really love dogs and cats and I hope I can be a perfect fit for both you and your pet. I am pretty flexible at the moment! Ideally I can work Monday through Saturday from 7-6pm but I am not available to work on Sundays. I am loving, caring and patient with the animals. I provide fun that comes with being a sitter. I also have a great building trust connection with the animals.
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.
“Diana was so sweet and loving with our two dogs, Milo and Mack. She sent cute pictures and videos to me while I was gone. The house was neat when I returned and the boys looked happy. I would definitely call Diana again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have taken care of both dogs and cats. I've pet-sitted, taken friends', families' dogs and cats in my own home and also stayed in their homes to care for their animals. My former kitty developed kidney disease so I learned how to give fluids and do medication. And my most recent kitty had megacolon. I tried diet and medication and then had her colon removed after she stopped improving. She did very well for 6 months but recently died, from a sudden stroke (a saddle thrombosis). I am still sad. I connect with dogs (and cats) very well. I am an animal person and love being around animals. I am also in great physical shape so can walk, play, groom dogs. I am good with animals and treat them like people. I give lots of affection. I am extremely organized and responsible and also can follow an animal's routine. I am good with communicating with owners. I am especially good with cats (because I just had a wonderful kitty who died at the age of 16) and feel I speak their language. I am also good with dogs, just haven't had a dog in a number of years. I've had to now take care of two sick kitties so know how to do medication (compound liquids and sub-q fluids). I am very knowledgeable about cat health, nutrition and learned the hard way of what isn't great for kitties (only dry diet). As of now, I have no animals in the house. I miss my favorite companions. I can host cats now - board them here so the owners know they get lots of care, play time while they are gone. I am a software developer and work full-time remotely, at home. I have flexibility to either do drop-in visits or can have cats in my home. Usually one cat at a time but I'd consider 2 if they are from the same family. I will prioritize boarding clients - meaning I won't take drop-in visits when I am boarding a kitty (or kitties from same family). I have a safe home with spots for kitty litter separate from food and water. Cats are welcomed anywhere in the house (except on kitchen counters, stove, table)
“Jess was fantastic! We have a stubborn dog that can be difficult sometimes and Jess was amazing with her! She gave us daily updates on everything and I never felt stressed about leaving our dog with her. Our dog seems relaxed after the long weekend with Jess. She went above and beyond with picking up the house as well and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Immediately during our meet and greet I was impressed with Victor’s knowledge, warmth and interaction with our dog Blanca. It instantly eased my guilt about leaving for 4 days. To say he provided superb in house care is an understatement! I can’t stress enough how professional and responsive Victor was during this time. His updates including many photos were very detailed and delivered consistently at the agreed times without fail. In those photos, I saw a very happy dog who was being well cared for played with and loved! The house was left immaculate as well! I highly recommend Victor and am so grateful our girl was in such great hands!!”
About: I have had a passion for animals my whole life and have cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, you name it. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including young and senior animals. Taking care of dogs or cats is the highlight of my day, and I truly care for every pet. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m currently in school, but I have flexible availability and plan my schedule around pet care. My week days are open besides Tuesday and Thursday evening. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ll treat your home with respect and care, respect your privacy, and leave it as clean or cleaner than I found it. I follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, given attention, and always supervised appropriately.
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 as a web designer. 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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 11 years—whether in my home or theirs. Dogs are such fun, always ready to play, and both my children and I love spending time with them. They truly bring so much joy to our days! I have a flexible job and check in a few times a day. I also work from home some days, so there’s always an adult home for TLC and potty breaks. I now live in a pet-friendly Townhome that offers plenty of comfort and care for your furry friend. While I don’t have a backyard, my dog Onyx and I enjoy daily walks and outdoor time on nearby dog park. We look forward to giving your pet lots of love, playtime, and a cozy stay!
“Liz was very attentive to our anxious pup! We did a meet &greet first and she asked great questions. She updated us regularly with pictures and notably left the house very clean! Will book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Broadlands
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
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!
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.
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 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Broadlands is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $84 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 9,477 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Broadlands. 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 Broadlands 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 Broadlands 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 Broadlands 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 Broadlands. 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.
