About: I used to have a black lab retriever, that I had for over a decade, she's a relatively big dog, so I'm familiar with caring for and watching larger animals. For the past four years I have been paid to watch and care for other pets other than my own, so I am familiar with watching other people's pets. My black lab was untrained for years, so if your pet happens to not be trained then that is okay because I am completely comfortable with an untrained animal. Since I do have a dog, I would not be able to host cats, but I do not mind watching them at your home. A little bit more about myself, I graduated from Penn State in 2018, with a degree in Political Science, and a minor in History, I also have a masters in Legal Studies from American University. I'm originally from upstate NY and moved to the DMV a little over a year ago. I work remote ask I’m able to give my dog as well as yours, the love and attention they deserve. I make sure to take them out long enough to ensure they receive daily exercise. I’m very on top of watching your dog and keeping a safe environment for all animals. I keep all things that could potentially be harmful out of reach.
“Erica is our go-to resource for taking care of our dog and home while we are away. She communicates clearly throughout the stay. She goes the extra mile to make sure our pet is happy and healthy. We return to a clean house and very happy dog. Recommend her without reservation.”
“My dog ran to Jackson as soon as he got out of my car and followed him into the house wagging his tail and not looking back. I’ve regularly received pictures and videos of dog walks, feedings, and just hanging out. Jackson also agreed to watch my cat so that the two pets aren’t separated. They seem very well taken care of!”
“Kymberlee was great! It was our first time leaving Bella for this long and we were nervous. She provided regular updates, sent pictures, and kept Bella company the whole time we were gone. And the place was cleaner when we got back then when we left it! Will absolutely be calling Kymberlee in the future!!”
About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.
“Daniel absolutely rocked a 3 week session with our 95lb German Shepard. Handling working dogs requires special attention and Daniel’s approach exceeded our expectations. He is super detail oriented and very trustworthy.”
“Amy took great care of our puppy during a multi-day, daytime home stay! This included walks & potty breaks, playtime, and administering medication. She was a pleasure to work with and was very communicative and responsive throughout the process.”
“Alayza is a dog whisperer! She’s amazing, kind and patient. My dog has big stranger danger and fear aggression when meeting someone new and it seems he warmed up to her pretty quickly. By the second day he was cuddling with her and letting her pet him! I highly recommend Alayza!”
About: I have trained and owned several AKC Dog breeds throughout my life and into the dog's senior years. The needs of the owners are to hire a handler who also understands the needs of a dog, and will provide this service with the same care as the owners' ideas. By providing time to care for the canine extended family member to ensure the dog's needs are met as intended in a social environment by supporting the dog's need for companionship, your dog is in good hands. I am accustomed to rewarding healthy behaviors a dog shows in reciprocity while providing the safety a dog needs to be confident, and working for a smile on the face of a dog is a reward of service in my opinion. I am furloughed and have plenty of time to help you out. This service provides me a source of income and potential to grow a client list to maintain on Rover. I always look both ways before I step across an intersection. I plan a route to a grassy patch on the walk. I always check to ensure the canine is not being over walked in the temperature conditions with their time in my care. Owners' directives on the dog's social habits are helpful in the meet-and-greet.
“Jayne watched our two dogs for three nights while we were out of town. One of our dogs is anxious and takes some time to warm up to new people but Jayne didn’t bat an eye during the meet and greet. It’s clear she has experience handling a wide variety of temperaments and Winnie warmed up to her quickly. We came home to two very happy dogs and a clean house. Grateful to have found a trustworthy person who seems to enjoy connecting with a variety of doggy personalities.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since before I can remember. I grew up fostering animals and have been on Rover for years! I am a former college athlete who simply enjoys the company of a furry friend. I have had lots of experience with all types of dogs, and I will always put your dog's needs first. I am well organized, responsible, caring and alert. I am really just looking to love and care for a dog while keeping good care of your home! I have a car and am able to take your dog to their favorite places! If they want to go on a hike I’d love to go with them, or if they just want to sniff their favorite smells in the neighborhood I’ll make sure they find them. I always put their needs before mine - making sure they’re comfortable and having fun! I am currently looking for my next job (I quit and moved home to dc) so I can provide your pet my full undivided attention! I provide a loving and comforting energy to all. I also understand the anxiety dogs get from being around new people/spaces, so I am very caring.
“Daniel took excellent care of our 4 month old puppy (which isn’t easy!) and followed every instruction. He sent lots of updates and pictures and kept our minds at ease while we had to leave our baby. Would highly recommend him.”
“Kaye is the best dog sitter we have had and we have had many. She was great with communication, pictures, our dog, and our house. We will request her care for Sunny every time we go out of town. Highly recommend.”
“Monica was great with our 2 dogs! One of our dogs requires multiple medicines twice daily, and Monica was fully on top of it. As soon as we met her, we were confident she’d do a great job (very confident and calm demenor) with our dogs and allow us to focus on a fun trip which is exactly what happened. Our dogs instantly liked her too and I know they got as much loving while we were gone as they do when we are here. We also returned to a spotless house! Thank you so much for everything Monica - can’t wait to have you back!”
“Margaret was wonderful! She took excellent care of our two dogs (Weimaraner and Lab) with good walks and cuddles while we were gone for a few days. Margaret was an excellent communicator and we are very pleased with her as a dog and house sitter.”
“Jessica did a great job taking care of my GSD, Auggie. She was very communicative, my place was cleaner than I left it which is going above and beyond, and most importantly, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I will definitely be reaching out again next time I'm out of town.”
“Amazing job taking care of my sweet dog. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Carlos is thoughtful and considerate and does a terrific job of coordinating and taking excellent care of our fur babies.”

Erica was amazing with our 10 year old doodle who had never been away from a family member. She was very responsive and communicative before during and after and even came to meet Finn a few times. She provided pics and updates through the stay. Highly recommend!
My dog ran to Jackson as soon as he got out of my car and followed him into the house wagging his tail and not looking back. I’ve regularly received pictures and videos of dog walks, feedings, and just hanging out. Jackson also agreed to watch my cat so that the two pets aren’t separated. They seem very well taken care of!
Our dogs are a big part of our life, so much so that we regularly travel with them for dog shows. So when we have a trip where we can’t travel with them, having peace of mind that they’re well cared for is incredibly important. With Jess, I could not have asked for a better experience. Working with her as our dog and cat sitter feels like a collaborative partnership. She gets to know their personalities, dedicates time to bonding and playing, and provides great updates and photos to give me peace of mind. I would recommend her most highly!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our senior dog, Charles! ❤️ Kayla did an absolutely wonderful job caring for him and quickly won his heart and adoration, which means everything to me. She was attentive, loving, and thoughtful with his needs, and it was clear that he was in excellent hands. She also took such great care of our home, leaving me with complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy trusting someone with your beloved pet and your home, but she exceeded my expectations in every way. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible sitter. Charles is a fan, and so are we!
Leaving my cat, Sohna, while he was unwell and required daily medication was particularly stressful. Finding Asher Saige through Rover turned out to be an enormous relief. Asher was exceptionally responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring. He ensured that Sohna was well fed, received his medication, and remained comfortable throughout my absence. What impressed me most was the wonderful rapport he developed with Sohna. Caring for an unwell animal requires patience, sensitivity, and trust, and Asher demonstrated all three. His regular photographs and thoughtful updates gave me tremendous peace of mind throughout my trip. I returned to find Sohna happy, relaxed, and in excellent spirits. Asher combines genuine affection for animals with the reliability and conscientiousness every pet owner hopes to find. I would recommend him without hesitation, particularly to anyone whose pet requires additional care and attention.
Halle was excellent! I hired her to look after my dog Penny while I took a day trip, and Halle took excellent care of Penny. Plenty of walks, updates with photos, and she reached out when she had any questions. From the photos it looked like Penny had a very good time with Halle, and I will definitely be reaching out to Halle again the next time I need someone to watch Penny. I highly recommend her!
Hannah is a superb dog sitter! She does a great job with our big, energetic German shepherd when we’re out of town and takes wonderful care of our house, too. She’s extremely punctual and communicative, and we never worry when she’s taking care of our dog and house.
Anya is truly a 5-star sitter. She was so attentive with my senior pup, Wetzel! She made sure he felt safe and comfortable, and even cracked the code on getting him to take his critical heart meds! Wetzel ate well, slept soundly, and got along so well with her sweet dog, Watson—two old boys hanging out. To top it all off, she gave me the sweetest wallet-sized Polaroid of Wetzel when I picked him up. I couldn't ask for a better sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brookmont is $64 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $172 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 10,297 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brookmont. 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 Brookmont 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 Brookmont 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 Brookmont 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 Brookmont. 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.
