“Had a wonderful meet and greet with Brandon for my pup. Brandon was great in communication and just a joy to meet. Very obvious he loves dogs and takes this work seriously, which makes me less nervous to welcome someone new into our fold for the care of my big man 🐶. Booked for a walk and really appreciated the notes and special care of my dog and home during intimate weather. 10/10 ⭐️”

“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: Hello to every cynophile and ailurophile on here. My name is Carmen and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and if you are familiar with people from LA, you know we LOVE ALL animals. I grew up with a big family who loves animals and since I can remember we’ve always had pets at home. Back in LA we have 4 dogs, 1 turtle and now added to that 5 love birds! Anyways, I no longer live there and moved to the east coast with my partner about 2 years ago. Our new home now houses just 2 cats. One of them is a tabby cat who is 6 years old named Blinchik. He is a very outgoing cat that loves everyone and everything. My other cat is named Nala (Siamese/Tabby) and she is quite the opposite from Blinny boy. She loves to keep to herself and takes a while to trust anyone but once she is warmed up you can see her beautiful shy personality. I used to be a nanny which also meant I took care of their pets as well. I have lots experience taking care of other families pets as well as administering medications when needed. Since I’ve been a dog and cat mom, I treat other families pets like they are my own. I’m currently in grad school to become a Speech-Language Pathologist which gives me a lot of extra time to take care of your fur babies 🩷 I’m currently in my graduate program to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. I’m in school Monday-Thursday with only one class a day. That being said, it gives me lots of extra time in the afternoon/evening to fill up with some dog walking, pet sitting, and playing time. My home has a fenced yard so if your fur baby is staying with me, they will have the yard all to themselves to run around and have fun. If I am coming to your home, know that I will respect it and get the job done as well as loving your pet as if they were my own.

“Nikki was great! She was able to stop by fairly last minute to let our dog out for a short walk. She was also kind enough to come over for a short meet-and-greet beforehand so that our dog would be familiar with her. If another time comes where we need a drop-in sitter, we’ll absolutely be using Nikki again!”

“Perry was wonderful! She paid attention to all the little details, and took such good care of our sweet boy. We’re admittedly crazy cat people and always get a little anxious leaving him, but Perry made us feel so much better with pictures and videos. I hate to say that the highlight of our vacation days was seeing his rover report card. We know he’s in good hands with her and she’ll be our top choice next time we need a sitter.”

About: I grew up with a house full of pets including cats, dogs, and budgies. Currently I have my own cat Cloe and a turtle named Joe. I have experience caring for my elderly childhood cat who requires chemo pills, laxatives, and special food. Im currently searching for employment so my schedule is completely open. Can work weekends and weekdays at any time, preferably weekdays 10 am to 5pm. At my apartment I care for my 4 year old feline. She likes to play with her string toy and watch cat tv. Shes very food motivated so we always have treats on hand. At my parents house we have a fenced in backyard for the dog and lots of indoor space for their 4 cats. My childhood cat needs medication and special food so he is fed seperately from the other 3 cats. Every cat i've ever owend has been exclusively indoor.

About: My name is Zyan and I'm a college student athlete that love dogs and want one of my own one day. All of my friends have dogs and I take care of them when they go on vacation or when they need me to walk them. I will take care of your dog like it is mine and will keep it company but most importantly make sure your dog is having fun. Im reliable and trustworthy. Dogs are my favorite animals. I prefer bigger dogs but all sizes matter. I can handle all size dogs and all dogs with different personalities if you get what I'm saying. Thanks :) I’m currently just training so I will have plenty of time for your pup and my schedule is very flexible. I’m basically always free. Thanks I don’t have a fence but I do know how to operate fences and crates for those that have them but have no problem doing so.

“Clay arrived on time, has a friendly demeanor, and was in tune to Abner’s needs. This was a trial run to see Abner’s willingness to walk with him. Due to the pandemic, Abner is not as adaptable to new people as before since someone is usually with him as I work from home. They came back pretty quickly from the walk so I accompanied them to allow Abner to be more comfortable with Clay. We had a nice walk and Abner seems to be warming up to him. After the walk, Clay paid close attention to the post-walk routine of wiping Abner’s paws and private areas by the door. I quickly booked Clay again for next week and I highly recommend him.”

No rules, your sweet pups are allowed wherever they’d like to go, but I do make sure all your rules and schedules are followed :) My weekly routine is simple. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to work around your schedule and attend to all your sweet pups needs I follow your schedule provided, but I also allow your pup to lead the way. If they want to play, we play. We take walks. Cuddles. Whatever your pup is used to and likes we’ll follow along.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles, while keeping owners updated along the way. I work from home and my schedule is flexible enough that your pup will get lots of attention throughout the day. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. I also have a 6-year-old Goldendoodle who loves going on frequent walks and having a furry friend to play with. Your dog will have the option to enjoy some extra playtime and companionship with my pup, while I make sure every pet gets the individual care and attention they need. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I make sure they’re in a safe, comfortable environment and always have plenty of supervision, attention, fresh water, and opportunities for exercise and play. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and maintain their normal routines as much as possible. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s individual needs and your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special care they may require. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same care and respect I would my own, while making sure their pets feel comfortable, happy, and secure.

About: I have been pet sitting for 9+ years and have experience with old dogs, hyper dogs, big dogs, and even dogs with behavioral issues. I am trained in dog CPR and have taken classes to become a pet care professional. I have had cats all my life and frequent the local cat shelters to help out where I can! My own cat receives injections and an allergy pill everyday so I am comfortable administering medication. I have a very flexible job and I would love to brighten my day by walking dogs petting cats and meeting new animals in my spare time! I am familiar working with pets with behavioral issues and I think patience is key in keeping the pets safe and the humans safe. Pet safety is my number one concern when doing my job.

About: I’ve grown up around pets and love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I’d like to say I graduated from TikTok University with a degree in pet care. I’m attentive, patient, and big on keeping things clean and sticking to each pet’s routine. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease! I recently graduated from VCU and am looking for a fun and fulfilling way to spend my free time doing something I genuinely love! I have a huge soft spot for animals and would love to help take care of yours. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! When someone else is caring for my own cats, I know how reassuring it is to receive pictures and updates throughout the day, so I make it a priority to do the same for you! I believe in treating others the way I’d want to be treated, and that means keeping you in the loop, respecting your home and instructions, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect regular updates, cute pictures, and the peace of mind of knowing your fur baby is in good hands!

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

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 Pet Sitting - Dulles

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dulles is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 15,531 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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.

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

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.

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.
