About: Pets have always been part of my family. We got our first dog when I was 9, and I was hooked from the start. Before long, I became the go-to pet sitter in my neighborhood, and I’ve continued caring for pets for friends and family throughout adulthood. Over the years, I’ve handled everything from quick drop-ins and overnight stays to puppy accidents, anxious pets, senior dogs who need a little extra patience, and adventurous pups who somehow manage to find the neighborhood skunk. I’m comfortable with the messy, quirky, unpredictable parts of pet care and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family — because that’s always been what pets are to me. My current schedule gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of walk and drop-in times and can often work with changing schedules. Feel free to reach out even if you don’t see your exact preferred time reflected on my calendar. I’ll always be upfront about what I can accommodate. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll do my best to keep their routine feeling as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for walks, feeding, water, medications if applicable, potty breaks, playtime, and any house rules you have in place. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home, so I’ll treat your space with care and respect, keep things tidy, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety points are secure before I leave. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to spend time playing, giving affection, getting outside for a good walk, or simply keeping them company depending on what they enjoy most.

“I had an excellent experience with Claire and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. She was punctual and her communication was top-notch; she kept me updated with regular, detailed messages and sent adorable pictures of my dog that really put my mind at ease while I was away. When I returned, the house was in great condition, and most importantly, my dog was happy and well-cared for. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future dog-sitting needs!”

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!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and for families in the area. I genuinely love working with dogs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I understand that each dog has their own personality and needs and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel most at home. I am retired and have plenty of free time to give your pet the love it deserves. I love the company of a furry friend. I’d be happy to host your furry pet or come to you, whichever works best. I match whatever the pet needs, whether that’s a calm presence or energetic friend.

She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Kaylee kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dogs and treated them like her own. When I returned home, our pups were relaxed, happy, and clearly loved. My home was also well taken care of, and everything was exactly as I left it. I couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter. I highly recommend Kaylee to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate sitter. I will definitely be booking her again!”

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

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 5+ years for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I absolutely love getting to know every pet’s personality! I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and cats to K9s and a 17-year-old dog who needed multiple medications and strict schedule. I also have 5 pets of my own (2 dogs and 3 cats), so I’m used to lots of love, different routines, and pets with all kinds of needs! Fun fact, I volunteer for rescue in puerto rico flying animals back to the states when I travel there. I’m currently in college, so my availability depends on my class schedule during the semester. However, when I’m home on school breaks, I’m completely available and would love to spend my time caring for pets! I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own home. I’m respectful of your space, careful with instructions, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: What’s Pup? 🐶 Hi everyone, I’m Amalia 👋🏼 I have been my communities, family and friends, go to pet sitter for the past decade. Now I am expanding my services, to you! I am a lifelong animal lover who treats every four legged friend like a VIP ~Very Important Pet 🐈‍⬛ . Whether your furry family member loves a brisk morning walk, an intense game of fetch, or just high-level couch snuggles, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and spoiled rotten while you're away 🙃 You can enjoy your vacation while knowing your pet is also getting pawmpered 🐾 A little bit about me: • 🏡 I live locally in a house in Herndon, VA • I have two feline fur babies, Moshi 🐈 and Baby Velvet 🐈‍⬛ • ❤️ I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs/cats/seniors/medication-needing pets. I have administered oral medication to elderly dogs and cats. • 📸 You’ll get cute photo and video updates, so you never have to miss seeing their goofy faces. When not with fur babies, you can usually find me on a nature walk or reading 📖 with a cup of tea 🍵. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Please send me a message or book a free meet-and-greet so we can say howl-o (hello💗) 🐕 As a substitute teacher, my schedule is highly flexible. Because I can choose my own working days, I am able to prioritize your pet's needs and structure my routine entirely around them. When house sitting, my main goal is to keep your pet feeling secure by strictly adhering to their established daily routine. Often while pet sitting, I do not take sub jobs, so I can focus fully on your pet. 🐾 🐕 Pet Sitting A typical day under my care generally looks like this: • Morning: We start the day with breakfast at their usual time, followed by a morning walk to burn off some energy. 🌅 • Midday: I provide a midday pee break and some stretch time. If your pet thrives on movement we can go on another longer walk. ☀️ • Evening: Dinner and then we head out on a final walk together. ✨ • Throughout the Day: I provide affection, playtime, and treats 🦴 as allowed by you. 🏡Home Sitting I treat your home with the exact same care and respect that I give your pets. I understand how important peace of mind is when you are away, so I gladly take care of basic household tasks to keep things running smoothly, including: • Watering your plants so they stay healthy. 🌱 • Bringing in the mail and packages daily. 📦 • Maintaining a clean space so you return to a spotless, welcoming home. 🌳

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. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I can stop by after work or stay overnight during the week. 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.

Joy really was great with housesitting our senior 14-year old dog - our neighbors gave us positive feedback. She was diligent, followed all of the feeding and care instructions, plus was nice enough to water our plants as well. Both this time and the previous time she was very flexible with her schedule when our dog's schedule (or our travel changes) required it. She left the house in the same condition she found it, which is great. We would definitely recommend her as a trustworthy house/ pet sitter.

I can’t say enough good things about Christine! I have never used a pet sitter before and was very hesitant to try it. We were gone (Internationally) for over a week, as well as had a cancelled flight that we had to deal with, and she was a complete pro and was great with my 3 dogs! She sent many updates and photos every day. She made us feel so at ease leaving our dogs in her care so we could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future!

Maeghan was great! This was my first time to use a pet sitter. I made a last minute decision to hire a person to be with my dogs while I attended a wedding. She responded immediately. She kept in touch with me all through the process. My dogs are a bit "high strung" and she was patient with them. While she was with them, she sent me message updates and pictures, which helped me feel comfortable and confident that I left them in her care. She is caring, friendly and wonderful. I would absolutely hire her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Crowells Corner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Crowells Corner is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $69 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 10,060 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crowells Corner. 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 Crowells Corner 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 Crowells Corner 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Crowells Corner 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.
