About: As someone who works remotely, I'm fortunate to have the flexibility to be available whenever your pup needs attention, whether it's for a walk in the park, some playtime, or just a reassuring presence while you're away. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I look forward to providing them with the love and care they deserve during our time together. I’m very flexible! I work remotely so I can care for your pet at any time, anywhere. Since I am home all day I have plenty of time to tend for your pet! I live in a pet friendly apartment with a dog park and dog spa in my building! I have no problem hosting your pup at my space.

“So glad we found Nazeeya! She was professional and thorough from start to finish. She was intuitive to our pet’s needs and communicated any irregularities she saw that may be cause for concern. She followed their care plan precisely and bonded quickly with our boy Wolfy. She went above and beyond to see that their needs were met and even brought in a huge house-plant package that was delivered while we were away. She did an excellent job and will definitely book with her the next time we travel.”

I’m available weekdays and weekends for whatever you need help with! I follow any instructions given to a fault and enjoy teaching animals new tricks if allowed. Every animal deserves play time and downtime which I can offer.

About: Hi, I’m Habiba! Animals have been a huge part of my life for more than 13 years. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own pets, fostered animals in need, rescued injured cats and dogs, and volunteered with animal welfare organizations. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do. it’s something I genuinely love. I understand that every pet is different. Some pets want a hiking buddy, some want endless belly rubs, and some just want a calm, patient person to keep them company while their family is away. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets and pets with special needs. Whether your pet needs a long walk, medication, playtime, extra patience, or simply a consistent routine, I’m happy to help. When house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I can also help with bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, and taking out the trash so you can return home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home. Communication is important to me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’d love to meet you and your pets and learn how I can help! Pet care is an important part of my weekly routine, and I carefully manage my schedule to ensure each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, and I always strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. My schedule is flexible, and I communicate clearly throughout each booking so you know your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs before every booking. Whether caring for a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet, I provide patient, attentive care while respecting both your pet and your home. I treat every home as if it were my own and always leave it clean, secure, and well cared for.

“Anum quickly became loved by our 4 dogs and 2 cats. She easily remembered all the details of their feeding and schedule. She fed the entire crew and kept them all happy during a long Easter Weekend. Our emotionally needy GSP and barky Aussie became good friends with Anum. Even our very shy dog came out of her shell !”

About: I have loved and cared for my pets and others' for many years. My first dog was a scruffy ball of excitement who liked to play rough, and my current dog is my service animal who is very smart and shy. Through raising my dogs, spending time with friends and client's dogs I have learned how to care for animals of all personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a strong handler on walks or are slow to warm up to new things, I am confident that I can earn their trust. I also have basic experience with dog training. I love dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. I'd love to get to know your pet pals! I find great joy in spending my days playing, exercising, cuddling, and feeding my animals. When your pet is under my care, they are welcomed into mine and my pet's everyday routine. I spend most of my free time at home studying, or doing something creative. When I step out, they hang out in my space where I leave them with each other, toys, fresh water, and access to my bed and couches. Even though I am not gone for more than a few hours at a time, I also have a little pet camera so I can check in as needed. I usually find my dog asleep in my bed or laying besides a big window watching over the backyard! As a pet parent, I have experienced how difficult it can be to leave my precious babies with someone new. I believe that every family should have backup care that they trust for when life comes up. I hope I can be the backup plan that you count on! I have my own pets and when it comes to them, there are no obstacles that can’t be overcome to make sure they get the best care for a happy life. My dog and I play in our backyard and go for walks every day so your pet will get plenty of exercise and fun together time with my friendly/playful dog. I have a spacious, bright, and comfortable studio apartment in my family's house where my dog and I spend most of our time. I work hard to make sure your pet is well taken care of.

About: I’ve had 2 dogs since I was a baby and I would do anything for them! I also have experience dog sitting for my roommate when she leaves and would love to help others out as well. Whatever your pet needs I will make sure to get it taken care of and show them much love and affection just as every pup deserves:) I don’t have any other job so I will have the majority of the day available for your pup! I have classes for about 2 hours a day but i have roommates to help take care of your dog if they aren’t able to be alone for that long! I have an unfenced yard that I let dogs run around if they are obedient off leash, but if not, there is also a dog park walking distance from me! I love to go on hikes as well to make sure your pup gets the right amount of exercise they need! I do allow pets on the furniture and also have a large crate if needed!

Even though she came in for a simple drop in visit as I was out of the house the whole day, she still did a phenomenal job with feeding the animals, administering my cats specific medication, and walking my dog around the neighborhood! I also have a pet toad in which she helped feed him as well:) All in all, i recommend booking her for your pets!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Dulles

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Dulles is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $31 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 14,897 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dulles. 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 Dulles 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 Dulles 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 Dulles. 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.
