About: I grew up in a household with 7 dogs and I've been watching my neighbors and my family's pets for years. I also worked at a dog boarding facility for several years. I currently have two very high energy corgis but currently have a lot of time and love for more animals! I currently work remote so am very flexible with my hours to match your pets needs, weekdays and week ends. I am also able to accommodate last minute (even day/hour of) requests no problem if I have availability As I work from home I'm able to give the pets a little extra care no matter the time of day and without having to rush off for my own job or family (my wife is perfectly able to handle my 2 doggies on her own!). Able to send as many updates and pics as needed to ease separation and can handle any special requests.
“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”
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.
“Kelsey, did an amazing job watching my lil Princess Sheba❤️She followed my feeding schedule and provided grooming and play while I was away. I appreciated her professionalism while I was away 🌹”
“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!”

“Nikky always takes amazing care of my Toby and I feel relieved every time I leave him in her care. She is really sweet with him and he started loving on her right away. I definitely recommend Nikky. She is a true animal lover .”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in middle school and love spending time with them! I love having conversations with them and learning their personalities :( I currently work a full time job and I am only available on weekends. My weekends are typically completely free so my schedule is very flexible and I can be an early riser or a night owl! I am used to having to give space when they are anxious or being high energy to match their excitement. I always approach them with a soft tone to know that they are safe and I love giving treats to win their hearts over!
“Alexa took such great care of my cat while I was away. I loved how I could rely on how punctual her check-ins were and how consistently she communicated. It really helped to make me feel at ease and know my cat was in great hands. My cat was very spoiled by all of the affection she got and I know she can’t wait to see Alexa again!”
About: I've had pets my whole life and know how much it matters to leave yours somewhere you trust. Your dog will be part of the household here — not crated in a back room — with plenty of attention, a regular routine, and photo updates so you know how the day is going. A few things to know about my setup: I have a yard, but it isn't fenced, so all potty breaks and outdoor time are leashed and supervised. Never off-leash. I have one dog of my own, a friendly female Bernedoodle named Dorothy. She's good with other dogs, and I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone gets along. I work from home, so your dog won't be alone for long stretches. Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. For walks, I'll stick to whatever route and pace your dog is used to, and I'll let you know how it went. Happy to set up a free meet-and-greet before booking anything. My schedule is completely my own so I can tailor my day to what your dog is used to. Our usual routine is a walk/run in the morning and a walk with the whole family in the evening. Dorothy is crate trained and so can be right next to your dog to keep them company. I have a good sized yard where I can let the dogs out on leashes and a fenced in deck if they want to be outside. I live 5 minutes from an animal hospital and am used to the random ailments that come with taking care of dogs.
“Emann took wonderful care of my cat Arya while I was away for a week. She was always prompt with updates and pictures, and I came home to full food and water bowls and a clean litter box. Arya even came out to socialize most days which is rare for her!”
“She is seriously the BEST!! So sweet and amazing with Buster, always on time, and was so flexible with going over whenever I needed her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Buster was in such good hands. I will 100% be booking with her again and couldn’t recommend her enough!! 🤍🐾”
“We really appreciated Nouf watching our cat. Her visit summaries were detailed and we could tell our cat liked her. She took great pictures and we knew our cat enjoyed seeing her. We hope Nouf is available for our next trip as we will definitely be rebooking!”
“Jake took wonderful care of our dog. He carefully followed all instructions and spent quality time with her. It’s obvious that Jake loves animals and is a kind person. I will definitely have Jake help us out in the future.”
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: Hiya! My name is Tyana, I’ve been working with animals since 2018 and haven’t stopped since. If your fur baby needs to be groomed while they’re enjoying their staycation you’re in luck! I’ve been grooming dogs of all shapes and sizes for over six years and have noticed a lot of pups do better on with a one-on-one environment and the conform of their own home. This would be something part time for me and a great way to help spread my awareness that there’s a local groomer in town I would love to build a relationship with my clients and their babies By giving them my undivided love, care and attention to support dogs with or without anxiety a ease of mind that everything is ok as grooming if necessary

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dulles
Esther was wonderful with our two cats, one of whom needs medication. She followed the instructions on their special food and kitty-preferences and we know they were in good hands while we were away. She sent thorough updates and communications. I would definitely love to have her take care of our girls again and would highly recommend her!
I couldn’t recommend Elisabeth more! Our cat is very picky and takes a while to get used to new people. Elisabeth always go above and beyond to help make Sage comfortable and that helps us enjoy our time away more! She always treats Sage to treats, play time, and extra love. She is always on time and someone we can rely on for our trips. She always includes pictures, details of the visit, and lets us know how Sage is doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
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!
Ellie was an amazing pet sitter! My cat Max can be a little shy with new people, but he warmed up to Ellie right away-which says everything! I would definitely book with Ellie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter.

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.
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.

- 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.
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.
