“Rosemary was a legit godsend. She was amazing and I'm so happy I found her. My situation was very unique and she took it in stride. But the main thing was she helped my dogs feel comfortable and loved in a brand new house. She sent so many photos which helped ease my mind. Then she left my house super clean. I couldn't even tell she had been there. I will hire her again and recommend her to all my fellow dog people.”
About: I have 5+ years of petsitting, I am currently in school and have experience working as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital but also experience as a kennel tech! So medication and other things needed, my skills can help :) I normally do 3 potty breaks a day! Morning, evening, and night :) making sure they get their walks and enough time to do their tinkle FOR BOARDING DROP OFF: I can take up to 1 dog or two cats!**** I have no pets at my place! 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
“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!”
About: Hi, I've loved animals my whole life and I'm now a mom to two australian shepherds and three cats! My pets are my babies and they are such an important part of my life. I'll care for yours just like I would my own. Having two energetic aussies has taught me a lot about a dog's physical and mental needs. I've attended regular dog training classes for a year where I learned more about obedience, agility, trick training, and mental enrichment games. I'd love to do some of that with your pups too! Whether it's practicing basic commands, playing scent games or just playing fetch I'm happy to adapt to what your dog enjoys most! I'm a big believer in positive reinforcement and I'd be happy to use treats for rewards with your permission of course! Just let me know if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions. I'm also familiar with leash reactivity on walks and understand how important it is to respect each dog's boundaries and comfort level. I'm used to pets who are a little more nervous or anxious around strangers, having rescued feral cats and adopted a rescue dog myself! I totally understand that some fur babies need a little extra patience and I always give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. I've volunteered at several animal rescues in different places I've lived, taking care of both cats and dogs of different age, breed and needs. I recently moved to the area and would love to continue caring for them in my own way! I love getting to know each pet's little quirks and personality. Whether your fur baby is full of energy or prefers taking things slow, I'll do my best to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for! I've also had experience caring for rabbits, rodents, cockatiels, and horses, so let me know if you need help with any other pets too. My dream is to basically live on a farm surrounded by animals someday. You can also expect plenty of pictures and updates while you're away. I know how meaningful they are! I'm currently home full-time so my schedule is very flexible, even for last-minute requests. Your pets will always be my priority and I'll do my best to match your schedule. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I'm a bit of a night owl so late night drop ins and walks are totally fine with me too. I love spending time with animals and I'll work around your pet's routine as much as possible! As a helicopter mom, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else's care, especially when they have their own little habits and quirks. I'll always do my best to adapt to their personality and follow all your instructions. Please feel free to give as many details as you'd like. I'm also happy to administer medication if needed! I'm pretty careful about keeping doors closed and paying attention to my surroundings during walks with the dogs. My focus will be on your pets 100% of the time when I'm with them.
“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!!”
“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!”
“Our house sitting experience with Liyah was great! She was super communicative, and able to earn the trust of my timid rescue pup. She was more than able to care for my high energy 1yo dog, as well as the two cats. Our house was as clean as we’d left it. Will definitely be using Liyah again in the future ? thank you!”
“Livia was great!! She was able to come to our house for a meet and greet a few days before our last minute trip away on a holiday weekend. She was timely, flexible with our schedules, and comfortable with our four dogs and one cat. She gave us consistent updates and photos, which were super appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Livia again to pet sit our furballs. Thanks Livia!”
“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!”
“Sharon is by far the best sitter that we have ever had-hands down! Sharon watched our home and pets for a week while we were away. From our initial introduction, Sharon was very responsive, professional, and very detail oriented. She asked several questions, and met with us and our pets prior to our leaving. We also have an elderly kitty with health issues, and Sharon made sure that she was well taken care of, and accommodated the kitty's additional needs. She sent us pictures daily, and kept in touch with us. She was very open with her questions and any observations she had of our animals and shared things she wanted us to be aware of. She is a true gem, and really loves animals. We feel very fortunate to have met her, and had her take care of our animals. We would highly recommend her.”
“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.”
About: My family has relied on me to take care of their pets, especially when they need to travel. I helped take care of my son's french poodle for 14 years. I consider myself very healthy, and active, and I like to stay busy. I very much enjoy the outdoors. I live in an apartment, very near ground level. The view from my apartment is beautiful and perfect to walk doggies. I live alone, therefore your pet would receive my undivided attention. Please note, my English is basic, and the easiest form of communication with me is written communication. I am a native Spanish speaker. However, if you speak slowly, we can understand each other =) Most importantly, know that your pet will be well taken care of. I leave the house about twice a week for short periods just to run errands and visit family nearby, but for the most part I am at home. I live in an apartment near ground level, there are just a few steps. Area is very safe. I will maintain your pet on a leash when outdoors for his/her safety .
“Morgan watched our dog Brennan for four nights at our house. She constantly played with him and gave him all the attention he deserved. We returned to a happy dog and a clean house. Very highly recommend.”
About: I have a passion for all animals and 3 years of experience. I have an older dog myself and I am very comfortable working with animals of all ages. I am currently home from college on summer break with a very flexible schedule that can be tailored to any and all needs a pet may have. I'm all about making your pets day. It's already hard enough on them not having their favorite people home so anything I can do to bring them enjoyment and pass the time brings me so much pleasure.

Maryann was an amazing sitter for us! She was very communicative and we had no doubt that Echo was having a great time and feeling the love while we were gone. Echo is timid with strangers, but Maryann was really gentle and patient with her during our meet and greet and absolutely won her over. We definitely will be reaching out to Maryann again!
As a rover sitter and crazy cat mom, I’m very particular about who cares for my kitties. I am SO happy and glad I found Allison. She was so sweet and did great with my 4 crazy kitties. She took the time to meet them and go over all their care instructions. She had great communication with me during the stay as well. I was able to leave my babies for the weekend stress free, all due to knowing they were in great hands! I was very happy with Allisons care and will be rebooking with her in the future!
Christabelle was great with my babies- they both took to her right away. Communication was great throughout- I got lots of pictures and updates. She followed all instructions and I came home to happy babies and a house that was just as I left it. I will definitely book with her again.
Marcella took amazing care of all of our animals! Our skittish dog warmed up to her the fastest she’s ever warmed up to a new person. We received daily updates and consistent communication before and during our trip. We absolutely recommend Marcella to anyone who needs pet sitting services!
Habiba was great! Very friendly and took good care of my sweet boy while I was away for a long weekend. She gave him all the cuddles he wanted and kept me updated every day with pictures. She also cleaned up after herself, ran the dishwasher and took out the trash. I will definitely book with 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.
Julia was great! She watched my 2 dogs in my home for a few nights and was responsive, gave frequent updates and respectful of the home. She really saved the day when I couldn’t find another dog sitter in the middle of the Summer. I would use her again and recommend to others!
We had an excellent experience and Tyler was amazing. This was the first time we had someone watch our dog in our home and Barley seemed very happy. She is very anxious when we leave and is reactive to thunder storms and dogs. We were gone a week and there were several storms and her walks took her past several dogs; Tyler handled everything extremely professionally and we came home to calm and happy pup (he left us some guidance for those times, which we will implement). He sent pictures and kept us informed on a daily basis. Tyler was very respectful of our house and we returned to it looking better than when we left. I highly recommend Tyler, without reservation. I look forward to having him watch Barley in the future. Thank you, Tyler - we greatly appreciate all you did for Barley; she misses you :).
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Chantilly is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $56 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Chantilly 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 Chantilly 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 Chantilly 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 Chantilly. 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.
