“Beth’s was amazing! She was flexible, reliable, trustworthy and made my dog feel comfortable around her early on. I highly recommend using Beth for your pet coverage needs!”

“Asal was a fantastic sitter for my pets. You can tell she knows how to take care of cats because she does a thorough job of cleaning the litter boxes (cat parents know what I’m talking about!). She went the extra mile and cleaned up extra messes when she didn’t have to. Will be booking her services again!”
“Emaan is a dependable sitter. I have used her for drop by visits and she is always on time and is very caring with my elderly and blind cockapoo. Emaan has been flexible with last minute changes I needed to make. I will call her again.”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own, big breeds, and I have trained all 3 by myself. I adore all sizes of pets! I’d love to meet yours! I care for them as much as I do my own! 😊 I currently work an 8-5, but I do have time in the evenings to walk, play, and train. The weekends I am completely free. Whatever time works for me on the weekends, no certain time area, just whatever is easiest for the client. I care for others pets the same way I do my own. Taken well care of, lots of fun play time! Love to send pictures and videos to the customers pets also!

“Sydney was great! We booked last minute and were really relieved she was able to drop in on our kitties while we were away. She communicated well and made us feel like we didn’t have to worry. I realized I missed a few things in my instructions but she was able to roll with it and take care of everything. We really appreciated her help and would be happy to book with her again.”


About: Hi there! I’m a recent graduate from the University of Virginia (3.94 GPA, Public Service Scholar, Double-Major) and have been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and local families have relied on me for feeding, playtime, and drop-in visits (both cats and dogs), and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home and on walks. I truly love spending time with dogs—they’re honestly one of my favorite parts of life. I bring a fun, positive energy to each visit, while also staying calm, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I treat every pet like my best friend and always approach care with compassion and consistency. Please note: I use only positive reinforcement when caring for animals, and I’m happy to reinforce basic training during walks or visits if requested. I also genuinely enjoy giving baths, so I’d be happy to help keep your dog clean and fresh as an add-on service. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and follow instructions closely. I always send updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I’m currently in my gap year, saving for graduate school, and would love to spend that time caring for pets in the Reston area! As a post-UVA Grad, I have an extremely flexible schedule following mid-May. I provide care exclusively in/around your home, including requested walks, baths, playtime, and other specified general care. I pride myself on strong communication and provide regular updates and photos so you always feel informed and at ease. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk schedules, medications (if needed), and any household guidelines. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and home security, and I always double-check that everything is secure before leaving. I focus on keeping your pet in their familiar environment, or, where requested, so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, whether they need playtime and energy or a calm, quiet presence. I use only positive reinforcement and never punishment. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands upon each drop-in or walk.

About: “I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’ve personally raised three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive—I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands.” “I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for evening visits, as well as overnight care. Weekends are wide open for more flexible scheduling, whether your pet needs extra attention, longer walks, or extended stays.” “I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks, and I keep a clean, calm environment in the home. I’m also experienced with administering medications if needed. I know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention and care. I make sure they feel relaxed and at home, with plenty of time for play, rest, and affection.”
About: Hi my name is Mackenzie, I would love to provide your fur baby with a comfortable, loving stay. I have one pitbull mix and 3 cats of my own. I have never met a pet that I haven’t gotten along with! I’ve grown up with pets in my home my whole life. I also used to have (he crossed the rainbow bridge) a paralyzed dachshund. I have experience with high energy dogs, strong dogs, temperamental cats - dogs and cats big and small. I understand what it’s like to have someone take care of of your babies, so I am very responsive and would be happy to send you pictures and updates. My dog, Monty loves to play, but also has awareness to know when a dog doesn’t want to interact. I’ve pet sat for tons of family and friends in the past, so I’d be thrilled to add your pet(s) to that list. I work remotely and have a full-time job. Most of my meetings are pre-planned so I have a good sense of my day and when walks can happen. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide love throughout the whole day. I have a small fenced in patio area that has a patch of soil and 2 fake grass pee mats for any urgent potty needs. I will always supervise outside while they are outside. I live in a town home, so I can easily separate my pets from yours if need be, but all of my pets are very friendly. I’m very thorough and take notes to make sure I get your fur baby’s needs exactly as they need them.
About: I enjoy pet sitting and have tried to do it consistently as I can for the past 5 years. I am responsible and experienced. I have experience with domestic pets and turtles. I have a lot of experience with households with multiple dogs or a combination of pets such as cats and turtles or dogs and rabbits. I have other contract type jobs, but I really enjoy pet sitting and try to do it as much as possible. It is a consistent part of my week. I will always focus my energy on the pets in my clients home while I’m there. I will live my life on the schedule they are on to the best of my ability.
About: Hi, I'm Rylee! I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds, including my own. I have a naturally calm and chill demeanor, which I've found really helps dogs feel safe and relaxed around me. I actually have a reactive dog at home, so I have a ton of everyday experience reading dog body language, handling leash walks safely, and just being patient. Because of my dog, I exclusively offer house sitting, drop-ins, and walks at your house—that way, your pet gets to stay stress-free in their own familiar space. I also play soccer, so I'm active, super reliable, and always punctual. Whether you have a high-energy puppy or a senior dog who just wants to hang out on the couch, your pet deserves all the love while you aren't home, and I’d be so happy to hang out with them! Pet care fits really easily into my current schedule. I have a lot of flexibility during the week to match up with your busy days, and I'm totally available for weekend walks! Since I'm used to balancing soccer and everyday life, I'm really good at managing my time—meaning you can always count on me to show up on time and be there exactly when your dog needs me. Since I exclusively offer care in your home, my main goal is to keep your dog's routine exactly how they are used to! When we're out on walks, my experience with my own reactive dog means I'm always paying attention to our surroundings, avoiding surprises, and keeping leash safety a priority so we can just have fun and get some good exercise. Inside, I'm super respectful of your space and will follow all your feeding, training, and house rules to the letter. I just want you to have total peace of mind that your home is secure and your dog is safe, happy, and chilling out.

About: I've taken care of animals for several years, including my volunteer work at the Loudoun County animal shelter and the several trainings I've went through there. I've been trained to take care of several animals fear free, including rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. I also attend Michigan State on the pre-veterinary track! I'd love to meet your furry friends and treat them like my own! I work part-time and attend school during the fall and spring but I'd love to take care of your pets during the summer and winter when I'm home! I can crate dogs, ensure theyre walking in safe weather conditions, clean any messes or accidents that happen, and make sure both myself and your pets are safe.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was young and have hands on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their dogs regularly. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Nazeeya is a super kind, thoughtful dog sitter who made sure to ask all the important questions to be able to care for Baby in the best way. She has a true love for animals and sent very cute updates of Baby so I could see how he was doing while I was away. I would recommend Nazeeya to anyone who needs a loving, experienced animal care taker!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats throughout my whole childhood. I am an expert on walking them if their dogs and I’m an expert on cleaning cat litter. My friends and family have relied on me to take care of their furry family members when they go out of town. I would be a great option for you and your family. I am currently a school teacher on summer vacation. I am available for a typical work week and would love the opportunity to help someone out. I would love on your animal as though it was my own. Anything that you would like to be done will be taken care of with ease.
“Alexis did a fantastic job of caring for our cat while we were away, even when thet meant going on a scavenver hunt trying to find where in thr house she was hiding! We appreciate the awesome care Alexis provided our cat (and our plants!) and will continue to use her whenever we're out of town!”

“I’m not even sure where to begin! Elisabeth is OUTSTANDING! She came to drop in for my 2 cats last minute and was so responsive!!! She did more than expected by playing with my cats, getting my mail, & letting me know about any changes with my house! Highly highly recommend her to anyone, she is a hidden gem and I will use her again for sure! :)”


About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals and absolutely love dogs. I work outside, enjoy long hikes, or cuddling up on the couch with furry friends. I have worked in a zoo, and routinely care for animals at work as a park ranger. I have rescued numerous dogs in recent years and provide expert level care with each one. I have taken online dog psychology/behavioral courses and find an incredible bond even with aggressive dogs. I work full time however I work rotating shifts so I frequently have off during the week random days or weekends and prefer to spend any free time I have with dogs. I can care for sick animals and am familiar with administering medicine as well as identifying when the dog has anxiety or stressed out and am able to help the dog feel more comfortable. I also have a dog park nearby that I often take them too if the dog is socialized well with others.

I have two days on, two days off, and sliding weekends meaning one week i am off fri,sat,sun. I do not have any kids or other pets currently! I take care of many dogs and cats as well as farm animals at a sanctuary farm but none are kept in my home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dulles
If you're looking for someone who is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your dog, I can't recommend Esther enough! We have a German Shepherd who can be reactive, and Esther went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe and comfortable. She even offered meet-and-greets before our scheduled vacation, which gave both us and our dog the chance to get to know her and build trust. Our dog absolutely adores Esther, and it was clear from the start that she was in great hands. During our trip, Esther sent regular updates with photos and detailed summaries of each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind. Knowing our dog was happy and well cared for made it so much easier to relax while we were away. This was our first Rover experience, and it exceeded all of our expectations. We will definitely be booking with Esther again and highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with reactive dogs!

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!

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 Dulles 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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
