“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!”
“Stefanie took great care to see that my cats' needs were met while I was away. The photos in the report card helped me feel at ease as well. Stefanie is a fabulous fur-baby sitter!”
“Really helpful with a last minute drop in visit for my cat! She seems to make Molly feel very safe and comfortable even though she’s a nervous cat. Caitlin provided great updates!”
“Samantha was wonderful! We scheduled 3 daily visits for our very social cats and she ket us updated at each visit. Our male Tabby had urinary issues resulting in PU surgery and Samantha made sure Beau drank plenty of water. Our Tuxedo, Poppy, who is notoriously shy even made a couple of appearances while we were gone. Samantha did a great job caring for our babies and we will definitely book her services again!”
“Finding Melissa and having her help care for and pamper Sky during these days has been a true blessing. Both my cat Sky and my family clicked with her immediately. 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! 🙏🏼”
“Adriane was so great with my two older cats. She sent photos and updates everyday and my cats were both happy and healthy on my return. Would definitely book her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a lifelong dog lover with a background in Animal Science and hands-on experience working with animals. In addition to being a dog owner myself, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and compassionate while ensuring every dog feels safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, walking style, and preferences. Whether your pup enjoys an energetic adventure, a relaxing stroll, or plenty of time to sniff and explore, I’ll make sure they have a fun and enriching experience. As a pet parent, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages after every walk so you can have complete peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am currently working full time. My work environment is hybrid, so I’m mostly working from home. My schedule is flexible and I’m available for weekday walks, with availability during late mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and find a schedule that works best for both of us. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to understand their routine, personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their family. During walks, I focus on keeping your dog safe by using proper leash handling, being aware of our surroundings, and following any preferences you have regarding routes, pace, and interactions with other dogs or people. When entering your home, I will always be respectful of your space and follow your instructions carefully. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big responsibility, and I will provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care every time.
“Willow is amazing, very passionate about animals and it shows with each visit. The pics she sent shows how happy my pets are to see her with every time she drops in! I will certainly have her watch them again!”
“Lohan did an amazing job taking care of Tracy and Lola! He stepped in last minute and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. He exceeded my expectations, was kind, dependable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book his services again the next time I need someone to care for my pets. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so glad I met with Tony, she seems very nice and knowledgeable. Chip immediately warmed up to her and they became good friends. I hope she will be able to take care of my boy very soon. I will not leave him with just anyone, so this experience was very nice. So glad someone told me about Rover!”

Pamela was wonderful with our pets! She took great care of them and made sure everything they needed was taken care of while we were away. She sent us detailed updates after each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she spent time with them and gave them plenty of attention and affection. We came home to happy, well cared for pets and would absolutely book with Pamela again.Highly recommend her!
We cannot thank Megan enough for the great care she gave to our pets for 6 days so we could Enjoy our time at the beach - and these weren't normal pets! She loved on our bearded dragon, fed him bugs, gave him Showers (which makes him go to the bathroom haha). She also cared for our aquatic frog. She brought in mail. She sent photos. She was on time every day. We will definitely always hire Megan to care for our family pets. We didn't worry about them one second. Thank you so much Megan!
Lohan did an amazing job taking care of Tracy and Lola! He stepped in last minute and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. He exceeded my expectations, was kind, dependable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book his services again the next time I need someone to care for my pets. Highly recommend!
Ashley was great! Both cats seemed to really like her, in fact I think they were waiting by the door yesterday afternoon for her to visit! She also noted that she had poor cell service while visiting the cats in my home, which was a good note to make sure she has the wi-fi information next time!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dale City on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 14,585 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dale City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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
- 93% 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.
