“This was our first time using Rover and working with Morgan for our dog's care, and we couldn't have had a better experience. Morgan was friendly, attentive, and professional in carrying out all the responsibilities we asked of her - from the meet and greet to each of the drop-in care/walking times we scheduled. She left detailed notes and pictures for us each time, giving us peace of mind our dog was being well cared for. We'll definitely plan to book care with Morgan again!”

“Trent did amazing! He was very responsive in the booking and pet sitting process. All of the animals are happy and healthy after his time watching them, Poppy the dog loves everyone, but the fact that Cassie the cat let him pet her and Lyra the other cat let him SEE her is very telling of his character. Highly recommend.”

About: I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them! We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice I live in an apartment with ample walking nearby. Super dog friendly neighborhood. We have space to set up crates if needed. I am a neat person and will clean up after myself and the dogs. Since I live in an apartment, if your dog is reactive to noise outside the door, I recommend making that a consideration

“Yasmeen settled my cat Leela who was not happy about being left alone, and in just a day or two all issues disappeared. Incredible cat rapport, I can't say enough good things about how the cat visits went. Yasmeen is a cat therapist, way more than a sitter, and I will unhesitatingly ask for her help again.”

About: Animals have been my whole life for my entire life. I have a 10-year-old deaf Pitbull who is my world. I’ve been a trusted sitter for friends and neighbors, and would love to dedicate even more time to enriching my life as well as those of the animals I care for to the best of my ability. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I am a recent (late bloomer) college graduate still finding my footing. Without a full-time job, my schedule is wide open—weekdays and weekends, mornings and nights. One thing that has never wavered is my love of animals, and I am happy to spend my days caring for them. I'm an extremely neat and organized person. I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would give my own. I'll leave your home just as I found it, with the only sign that I was there being a happy pet waiting to greet you when you get home.

About: As a primarily work-from home adult with many friends who have small pets, I have extensive experience watching pets that come from different families and environments, and thus have different needs. I've gone to friends' houses to feed and play with their cats, stayed overnight to catsit, and currently live in a household with two cats and a small, ex-service dog. I grew up caring for a pet bunny who required more care than other pets, and have lived around or with family members who have pet cats and dogs, so I'm very comfortable with most animals. I'm currently in between jobs so I have a lot of open availability! I generally prefer weekdays between 11 am and 7pm, and am open to overnight cat-sitting as well. For short stays (an afternoon, a day, or one night), I'm happy to take care of your pet with 24 hours notice. For extended stays, I do prefer at least a 2-3 days heads up so I can ensure the house is clean and pet-safe. We have a fenced back yard, child locks on cupboards, and a small baby gate in the kitchen to keep different pets out of trouble.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Dunn Loring

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Dunn Loring is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 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 15,255 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dunn Loring. 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 Dunn Loring 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 Dunn Loring 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 Dunn Loring. 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.
