About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since he was a puppy & he’s now 7. I begged my parents for him for 18 years and he’s my soul dog. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and I even have experience with senior dogs. I love pets because they are a reminder of unconditional love. I work full time but am typically available in the evenings after 4pm M-F. I have occasional work events during the week sometimes but I am always available on weekends. I prefer doing a meet and greet before accepting to sit to make sure all parties feel comfortable, especially the furry party. I’m comfortable administering medicine and crating your dog if that’s required. Ultimately my goal is to treat your dog as if I’d treat my own.
About: Hi there! I’m a proud cat mom to two adorable kitties — a playful 3-year-old and a wise, gentle 7-year-old. With years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, I know just how much love, attention, and patience our furry friends need. In addition to my own cats, I’ve also cared for friends’ pets — both cats and dogs — while they were away, making sure they felt safe, happy, and at home. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, litter duty, or giving belly rubs, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy to look after your pets — and I’d be honored to be that person for you! I’m an HR professional working 9–5 on weekdays, so I’m available for boarding both weekdays and weekends. Pets stay on the first floor of my home and have access to a fenced backyard—perfect for small dogs to play safely. I also enjoy taking them on walks for extra fun and exercise. my backyard is fully fenced to ensure your pup is always safe, secure, and free from outside disturbances. I take safety seriously—both the front and side doors are monitored by security cameras, so I can keep a close eye on everything and give you peace of mind.

“Cindy takes such good care of our dog. As he gets older it’s so much harder to leave him but she communicates with us so well and I know he is in such good hands while we are away!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with over 8 years of professional animal-care experience. I’ve spent 4½ years at Banfield Pet Hospital and 4 years at All Dogs Club, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, high energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and dogs who need medications or extra attention. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines, providing positive reinforcement, and giving each dog the individual care they need. As a dog mom to 3 dogs myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan my availability around my work schedule. I currently work Sunday from 3–11 PM and Monday–Tuesday from 2–11 PM, which leaves me available during the mornings and early afternoons on those days. I also have greater flexibility Wednesday through Saturday. With my veterinary background, I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable building pet care into my routine. I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and consistency they need while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of love and attention. As a CVT, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and overall well-being, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different ages, personalities, and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets and your home.
“Riley did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs and two cats. The pets were well fed and taken care very well. I had zero issues. Would recommend in the future if ever needed.”
About: Growing up, I had several dogs and feel very comfortable with most breeds and their distinctive traits. I am a believer that pets are just like children. They needs lots of love, attention and constant care. Because of my experience, I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing and caring for your dog. Our schedule is very flexible so it's easy for us to be there for your dog. We go on several walks a day, giving them a chance to go potty and enjoy playing with them to make sure they feel loved and secure while they're with us. Because we live on a 600 acre property, safety is our top priority. When we are taking walks with your dog, we will take every precaution necessary to ensure your dog is safe. I put an AirTag whenever we go out and always make sure a dog is leashed before we open the door.
“Felicia was amazing with our two older cats. One of our cats actually let her pet him and interacted with her throughout cat sitting. She went above and beyond with sending us pictures and updates. I HIGHLY recommend her!”
About: I am the #1 person who all my friends and family trust with their pets while they enjoy a quick weekend getaway or vacation. I treat all pets like my own. I did a very good job training my 12 year old Shih Tzu and 8 year old cat! They are very well behaved and loved. I am available 24/7 and I also work from home 🏡. I have a lake nearby that I walk everyday as well! It’s about an hour walk (to and from) if your dog needs a long walk. I have a fenced yard, a small Shih Tzu and a cat to keep your babies company. I can also crate your dog if needed and have plenty of room!

About: Hi! My name is Angie, and I’m a nurse and lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys caring for pets. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have dog-sat for friends and family pets for many years, and I also volunteered for Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation in Northern Virginia for 3 years, where I helped by walking shelter dogs and supporting their daily care. That experience helped me become comfortable with dogs of many different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I provide dependable dog walking and boarding in a calm, clean, and loving environment. I’m very attentive to routines and details, and I’m comfortable with pets who may need extra patience, structure, or special instructions.

I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel at ease. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, happy, and secure. For new clients, I highly recommend a quick meet & greet before the first booking to ensure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m happy to answer questions and learn all about your pet’s routine and personality. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! As a part-time RN, pet care can fit really well into my routine because I can structure it around my shifts. I can take on boarding and multiple walks/drop-ins on my days off. I'll have more flexibility for frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, long walks, and playtime When caring for pets, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and structured environment. I'll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible and make sure they receive regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding on schedule, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection In my home, pets are treated like family and are supervised closely to ensure they are comfortable and secure. I have plenty of warm and cozy blankets and toys for your fur baby and make sure to provide daily walks, playtime, and a clean space for rest. I follow any specific instructions regarding crate routines, medications, or special dietary needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and privacy while making sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to build trust, provide enrichment, and ensure they are fed, walked, and cared for properly. I also love sending photo updates and messages to owners, so they feel reassured and informed throughout the visit.
About: I've had a love of dogs (and all animals) for as long as I can remember. Though I haven't been blessed with a dog of my own, I often care for my cousins' dogs and cherish every minute spent with them. One of them is a handsome mixed breed little guy named Juno and the other a Great Pyrenees named Rosco. I take them on walks several times a day, feed them, and play with them to their heart's content. They are my furry nephews and I love them so much! I'm a fast learner and a detail-oriented person. I will adjust to your dog's routine quickly. Their safety and well-being is my priority and I will take care of your fur babies with as much attentiveness as I would my own. We will have so much fun and they will get all the love and cuddles they desire! I currently have open availability so I can care for your pets whenever suits you best! I can take them for walks, do drop-ins, or house sit while you’re away. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will leave it tidy for your return. I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while sharing their home with a stranger (soon to be friend)!
About: I've had dogs my whole life since I was 12 years old! I have lived with senior dogs and puppies and both together. Dog's truly are man's best friend and can heal the hardest of heartaches. They love hard and unconditionally and I will return that for every dog I care for :) Currently my schedule is wide open! I do play social sports throughout the week on different days but can easily be worked around for whatever needs :) I have two cats. They keep to themselves a the majority of the day. Will go outside with a harness to walk around the property
“We are so grateful for Sondra’s care of our pup! She came over for a drop in visit on a day that we were going to be gone for a long day trip and took care of everything as discussed. I really appreciated the photos and updates she sent after the visit! She communicated everything very clearly before and after the visit and made the whole process so easy. Thank you Sondra! Willow can’t wait to see you again soon :)”
About: My family and I love dogs very much. I will cook for them and bathe them. I like to take them to the park. I spile my dog's hair every day. I'm currently studying at home, so I have time to take care of the dog. Dogs can go out every 2-4 hours. I can sit in the yard and play with the dog. There are two yards for dogs to play in my house, and two puppies to accompany them. Dogs can move freely at home. I can clean the dog toilet.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Damascus is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Damascus
As the wife of a veterinarian, I’m probably a little more particular than most when it comes to who I trust with our animals, and Michelle immediately put us at ease. She has a wonderful understanding of animal behavior and, just as importantly, knows how to properly approach and introduce herself to unfamiliar animals. Her background in animal control really gives her an advantage, and it was evident from the moment we met her. We have a grumpy, sometimes unpredictable dog and a skittish cat, so finding the right person isn't always easy. But after watching Michelle interact with both of them (she prefers a meet & greet prior to booking,) we had absolutely no hesitation leaving them in her care. Her communication was fantastic throughout our trip, with plenty of pictures and updates on the boys. It was so nice to be away and not have to worry about how things were going at home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michelle and would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat. Finding someone who genuinely understands animal behavior and can confidently handle different personalities is invaluable!
When we returned for vacation, I noticed that my dog was well-trained. It seems that I not only hired a pet sitter but also a pat trainer. My neighbor informed me of her exceptional skills with my dog. Now they like to have her as pat sitter as well. She was very responsive and on time every time

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Damascus is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $52 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 16,158 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Damascus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Damascus 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Damascus with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Damascus. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
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.
