“Allison did a great job taking care of our cat, Hiccup over several days and nights! Allison was responsive, responsible and provided great updates throughout our trip! Our house looked great upon our return and we look forward to having Allison look after Hiccup in the future!”
“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.”
“So happy with Kamila’s care of Gemma. This was our first time with her. She took the time to get to know Gemma and understand that she does have separation anxiety. Sent me pictures and videos that allowed me to see how Gemma was behaving. Gemma obviously loved her from the start and was sad to see her go. Will definitely book again!”
“Rachel was a great help when we needed someone last minute to watch Bear and Bagel. She did a fantastic job keeping them comfortable and keeping us updated. We really appreciated her reliability and care. Thanks so much, Rachel!”

“We trust Lorene with our senior dog and with our home while we are away on vacation. She has an excellent communication style, pays attention to all of the details of managing our dog and our home, and navigates all of it in a professional manner. No hesitation to rebook with Lorene!”
“We recently booked Alexis for pet sitting for the first time, and had a great experience. At the meet-and-greet, she was patient and understanding while we did exercises prescribed by our dog’s personal trainer to properly introduce him to guests in the house, as he is initially very fearful of new people. I could tell by the way Alexis spoke about her own pets and past client pets, that she is very patient and accommodating in order to cater to each individual pet. She followed our care guide to a tee and sent nice pictures and updates of our dog and 2 cats. We felt very comfortable that our pets were being well taken care of. A bonus was, she stayed to clean, running the dishwasher and taking out the trash before departing so we came home to a clean house. We are glad to have found Alexis and certainly will request her for future pet sitting needs.”
“Kat was a wonderful sitter for our 4 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever! She took such great care of our dog while we were out of town for 4 days. She took the time to understand our dog's routine and provided ample updates and photos while we were away. Kat also took really good care of our home and left it spotless. We look forward to working with here again soon!”
“Bristol is definitely a five-star pet sitter! She was kind and gentle with our 110-pound Bear, but also made sure he knew she was in charge. She was diligent in keeping to a schedule and followed all our instructions carefully. She was in contact with us 3-4 times a day with photos and detailed updates. I really appreciated that Bristol stripped the bed, swept the floor, and emptied the trash before we got home! She's a real gem. We have already booked for another pet sitting job!”
About: Pets have been a big part of my life, and I know the difference between a pet who is just being watched and one who is truly cared for. I currently share my home with a cat, so daily care is second nature to me: feeding on schedule, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and the small routines cats count on.Especially Anxious (i know when your gargoyle wants to lurk-and when the rubs are needed. I’ve had two dogs, and both taught me a lot. My first, Ed, was an 80-pound American Foxhound rescued as a suspected abandoned hunting dog who had never lived indoors. Together we worked through house training, leash manners (no more yanking), a fear of stairs (which involved carrying him up three flights until he stopped being scared), and a distaste for rain. His name was not what he was rescued with, but he was clearly always an Ed. With my second dog, Kovu, I spent a lot of time on socialization with other dogs and on keeping him calm and quiet when left alone. Because of that, I’m patient with nervous, rigid, big dogs, and dogs still learning the rules. I know that consistency and a calm presence go a long way. All Creatures Welcome! Friends have long turned to me for help with their pets, whether furry, scaly, feathered, or creepy-crawly. I’m happy to talk through any pet’s needs, so ask me about yours. I’d love to meet you and your pet before booking. Send me a message and tell me about them! I am a remote worker with a need for reliable wifi more than happy to drop-in, sleepover, or sit for a while with my laptop on your couch. Clear updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away Strict adherence to your pet’s feeding, medication, and walking routines A calm, patient approach tailored to your pet’s personality
“Emma has the perfect temperament and a wealth of experience for a pet sitter. She took excellent care of my senior special-needs dog for two nights (overnight) while I was traveling. I felt totally confident in Emma's ability to provide love, safety and the best of care for my 15 year old dog. Emma texted me several times while caring for my dog and sent several reassuring photos. Emma is a sweet, responsible and delightful person. I would highly recommend her.”

I have a specific room just for the cats to stay :) we have a tiny fenced backporch, if your dog wants to have a little outside play time
“Lee, you're officially a superhero in our book! Seriously, we can't thank you enough for watching Louis while we were off celebrating at Natalie's wedding in Pittsburgh. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands allowed us to actually enjoy the party without a single worry. You went above and beyond. Thank you!”
“Leonarda was great! She followed all our wishes, our animals loved her, she was very respectful of the house and asked us before doing anything we hadn’t already discussed. She was very responsive, kept us updated and sent lots of pictures while we were away. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Lindsay took great care of my dogs! I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her and knew they were in good hands while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I came home to two happy pups. I would be happy to book with her again!”

We could not be more grateful for Lindsey! She sat for our pup for four nights in our house and I would not hesitate to book her again. She was able to get my shy and nervous pup to settle and get comfortable quickly. She sent regular photos and daily updates and she left the place cleaner than when she got here. This was our first trip away without our pup and my mind was at ease throughout, knowing that he was in great hands. Thank you so much Lindsey!!
Fatima did a great job taking care of our house and cats while we went away for a week. She was responsive and sent lots of photos. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our guys were well taken care of. We highly recommend her and we will use her again.
Kendall did another great job for us, this time staying two nights and not only taking great care of our dogs, but the house was immaculate upon our return. Great communication throughout and understood our dogs' quirky requirements. Dogs also give a 5 paw rating.
Rachel was great. She had a personal situation come up, and she communicated that with me and she was still able to be sure that my dog got his medications on time. She sent pictures and updates and took great care of my house and pets. I definitely hope to work with her again and would highly recommend her!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Truly Above and Beyond Care We cannot say enough amazing things about Jen! She went completely above and beyond while house sitting for our dogs, Ren and Quin. From the start, she was incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and attentive to detail. She didn’t just follow instructions — she truly cared about our dogs and their experience. She made sure to check them for ticks, kept us updated, and was very proactive in making sure they were safe and happy. What impressed us the most was her flexibility and dedication. When she realized that the dogs needed a few extra visits, she adjusted her schedule without hesitation. That level of attentiveness and willingness to adapt gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. But the biggest sign of how amazing she is? When we came home, Ren and Quin were happy, relaxed… and honestly didn’t even seem that excited to see us because they had such a great time with her! 😂 That says everything. Jen is someone who genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own, and it shows in every interaction. We feel incredibly lucky to have her as our neighbor and our dog sitter. We would 100% trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care.
Mo was awesome. He showed up on time, was friendly, left our home as it was when we left, and most importantly, our pets didn't act as if they missed us when we returned. He has his own transportation and has a flexible schedule that could potentially make him more accessible to you and your pet's needs. We booked pretty last-minute, and Mo was very accommodating. We will hire him again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Centreville is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $89 per night.

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 Centreville 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 Centreville 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 Centreville 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.
