About: I have been working with dogs since I can remember! I come from a family of dog-lovers and I am extremely knowledgeable in pet care from puppies to seniors. Rest assured your pet is in safe hands with me, I love to send updates during their stay as well! I work from home, so I will be with your pups practically all day! I love to play and provide engagement during their stay. Because I am home during most of the day, I can keep up with your home-schedule while they are under my care. Pets will not be left unsupervised at any time, they will always be with me or caged for their safety should I step out of the house. Keeping your pet safe during their stay is my priority, they are a key part of your family!

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, kittens and senior pets. I adjust my care to each animal’s needs and provide reliable, attentive, and loving care with regular updates. I’m a teacher currently on summer break, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time. I love staying busy and enjoy having pets around for company, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. It’s something I genuinely look forward to and can easily fit in consistently throughout the week! I care for pets in your home so they can stay comfortable in their usual routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special needs. I also give plenty of attention and provide updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

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.

Victoria is truly the cat whisperer. I cannot recommend her enough. We needed someone to feed them while we were out and my kitties are always happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we come home, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. Our cats are also super shy, but with Victoria they come out to say hi. I also really appreciate is her communication. She consistently sends thoughtful updates and pictures, which always brighten my day and reassure me that they’re doing well.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats of every kind since I was a young child. I grew up with the responsibilities of caring for several dogs and cats, and have been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to watch and love their animals for as long as I can remember. I have a lot of flexibility on the evenings and weekends to care for your babies. I work full-time in Leesburg, but I can build in mid-day walks for nearby homes. My evenings and available weekends can be dedicated to your pets. I will gladly follow your family's routine for your animals while you are away, and am responsible, tidy, and trustworthy in your home. I will abide by your requirements in terms of walks and adventures, and will keep your pets comfortable in their schedules and regular routines.

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. I’m also active, so I enjoy keeping dogs engaged with walks and playtime, while still paying attention to their specific needs and routines. I keep a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your dog attention, playtime, and care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings, and I can work around your pet’s routine to make things easy and stress-free for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first with me. I make sure they’re always in a clean, secure, and calm environment, whether in my home or yours. I follow your instructions closely, keep a close eye on behavior, and make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well taken care of at all times.

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: With a loaf of my own, I know how stressful it is to leave your pup. I can provide love and care while you’re away! I’m currently working a full time hybrid schedule which allows me more flexibility towards the end of the week. But I can provide daily exercise and walks. Before anything, we would need to make sure our pups are okay with each other so I will suggest a meet and greet prior to accepting. If they do not alone, I have no problem at all providing house-sitting services vs boarding services and I can leave my pup at home. Luffy is really friendly and very social. There is lots of routes to take for walks and even a small dog park in my complex. Full disclosure, I am in an apartment so I prefer not to dog sit breeds who are over 80 lbs. Or if you prefer a situation where I come and house sit and I can come by 3-4 times a day to make the pup gets plenty of interaction and exercise! If you have a house with a big yard I suggest this and I can come and house sit for you. Whatever you’re comfortable with!!

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: Hey there, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 Are you seeking top-notch care and companionship for your furry friend? Look no further! I'm a dedicated 24-year-old with a passion for pups, working from home and ready to give your dog the time of their life. My mini Labradoodle, trained as my emotional support dog, is the epitome of sweetness and charm. Together, we offer tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of love. Plus, with the convenience of living right across the street from Shirlington Dog Park, your pup will have endless opportunities for fun and socialization. With flexible scheduling and personalized attention, your pup will feel right at home. Pet care is a cornerstone of my daily routine, woven seamlessly into each day. Mornings kick off with a refreshing walk or play session, setting the tone for a day filled with fun and activity. Throughout the day, I make sure to check in on my furry friend, offering companionship and care as needed. Whether it's a midday stroll, some playtime at the dog park, or simply cuddling up on the couch, my pet's well-being is always a top priority. In the evenings, we wind down together, enjoying quality time and relaxation. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are paramount when caring for pets, especially in the unique setting of an apartment. In my home, I ensure that all potential hazards are removed or secured, creating a safe space for pets to roam and play.

I’m dependable, patient, and always happy to help with walks, meals, and lots of love. I’m currently working part-time with babysitting, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets. I’m available most weekdays after 1pm and on weekdays for walks, drop-ins, or housesitting. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s feeding, walks, meds, or just keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

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.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Dulles

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Dulles on Rover is $22.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 15,221 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dulles. 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 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 .

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dulles. 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.

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.
