Ariana is the best!!”

Melissa is incredibly loving and empathetic, as well as helpful and proactive. She kept us posted on everything. We are so grateful for her excellent support. The fact that she is bilingual adds even more value to her work. Thank you so much, Melissa! 🙏🏼”
About: I’ve taken taken care of my family’s dog for the past 15 years- from baby to senior dog. Dogs are precious family members, with innocent hearts that deserve love and respect. I work an early schedule running my own residential cleaning business and I’m usually available after 3 pm Monday - Fridays. Some days I’m available even sooner! I’ve cared for my family’s dog since 2011, bathing him, walking him, feeding him. He’s precious to us! In my house-cleaning business, trust is essential when taking care of their belongings, and also when considering their fur-babies’ needs during the cleanings. We clean their areas, fix up their toys, and treat them like just another family member, who’s area we care for and respect.
“We used Daisy in a pinch for a dropin visit and she gladly accepted. We're lucky to have someone close by that you can easily tell loves her own pups as much as anyone, definitely recommend!”
“Thank you so much for watching our babies. Was hesitant on using rover but Stefanie made us feel good about our decision. She did everything on my crazy check list and arrived on time each day! Can’t say enough good things about our experience. Will definitely use Stefanie in the future.”
“Taylor has been our sitter for a while and she I trustworthy, cares for our pets like they are her own and always give her all while caring for our pets even when we had a tiny emergency. I highly recommend her services to anyone!”
About: Hi nice to meet you. My name is Lohan I am a Belgian American now living in the US. I am new to life in US after living abroad since young, but I am trying to implement myself with the community and help anyone in any way possible. Please feel free to contact me and ask me questions, I am here to help. That being said, with animals I have had cats since I was 8, currently have 2. I also took care of many rabbits. I had a pet ball python named whiskey. And I love dogs, never owned one but take care of family and friends dogs. I would say I am a patient person and always willing to give 100% with your pets. If you dogs is energetic I can match that energy, if you dogs or cats are quiet I can be gentle as well. I am currently waiting for the next academic year to start, therefore I have a lot of free time on my hands. I am free most days at anytime just preferably not late night. I always keep check of my outside doors to be properly closed. I always make sure I have seen all pets before I exit the house. And make sure no pets are left accidentally in rooms.
“Hannah was a fantastic cat sitter! This is my first time using a professional service for my kitties, and I was blown away by her thoroughness and fantastic communication. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely ask for her services in the future if needed. Just a fantastic person through and through!”
“Very communicative and helpful. I have two skittish cats and she managed to befriend them - that alone deserves 5 stars! Haha Did a great job, would totally recommend if you need someone to take care of your fur babies.”

Once again Paige was excellent! So genuinely concerned for my babies as though they are her own. The updates she gives are so far above and beyond. All the photos make me so happy to see while I am away. She is detailed and thorough! I am so thankful she has cared for my babies. They love her!!
Melissa took wonderful care of my two dogs and was reliable, communicative, and professional throughout the week while I was traveling. She even handled a few unexpected messes with kindness and without hesitation, which I truly appreciated. I came home to two happy dogs and would absolutely book Melissa again!
Iqra was absolutely amazing with my cats! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable the entire time. She kept me updated, made sure my cats were comfortable, loved, and well taken care of, and truly treated them like her own. She even went out of her way to bring wet food for them, which was such a thoughtful and kind gesture. You can genuinely tell how much she loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Iqra to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and loving cat sitter! 🐾💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dale City on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dale City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dale City. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
