“Tasha was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and it was easy to coordinate with her. She sent daily updates, pictures and videos and was great with my pup. Will def use her again!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. She communicated regularly and sent pictures often. She also went above and beyond cleaning up which was a nice surprise after a week of business travel. I would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again.”
“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”
“Allegra constantly exceeds expectations and alleviates any anxieties I have about leaving my dogs for several days at a time. She is responsive and great with the dogs and house. I'll never book another dog sitter if Allegra is available!”
“Highly recommend Han as a dog sitter! She followed my detailed instructions for my reactive dog, kept her occupied and my working dog’s mind occupied while I was away for almost 2 weeks. Han treated my house with respect and I returned exactly how I left it. Han kept me informed with daily updates and pictures.”
“Always amazing with my dogs! One of my pups was suffering from an upset stomach the night before my trip and Oriana went out of her way to feed her a special diet of pumpkin all week. I really appreciate when a sitter goes out of their way to take care of my senior pets 🙏❤️”
“Taylor took great care of our dog and house. We were gone for one week and he was really responsive, sweet, and respectful of our home. Taylor stayed overnight with our dog and since she is on the older side, took extra care to make sure she was okay on the stairs. He was also really flexible. Would definitely book again.”
“We felt so at ease having Addison at our home taking care of our beagle Hunter who was 9 weeks post back surgery. She took excellent care of both him and our home and we will absolutely be hoping to have her over again!”
“Thanks Madilyn - she was reliable and took really great care of my dog. She stayed in my home and was very clean, left the place looking better than before (thank you!). Was respectful to the home, would book again.”
“Kayly was so sweet and so responsive. She gave numerous updates on our two dogs without being prompted and provided plenty of pictures. I would definitely book her again!”
“Katy was such a blessing! She cared for my older pups as if they were hers, administering meds and eye drops as required. Always a professional, she kept me informed throughout her stay. Highly recommend this sitter! Sincerely hope to reschedule her in the future.”
“My dogs quickly warmed up to Phuong when she sat for them in my house. She was prompt and sent lots of pictures and made sure they got enough activity! We would definitely use Phuong for pet sitting again!”
“Seth was fantastic with our dog, Nash. He was punctual, communicated with us as we arranged the house sitting, and truly went the extra mile. He spent extra time helping Nash calm down for bed and sent us a great photo update. When we got home, Nash was relaxed and happy. We will book with Seth again!”
“Renee house sat our pitty mix for 11 days. She was very communicative during the whole period. She was also very respectful of our home. We came home to a very happy dog and a clean house! We definitely would book Renee's time again on our next trip.”

“Sarah took wonderful care of our dog, Marley. She sent lots of photo updates throughout his stay. We always felt confident that Marley was safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands. We were especially grateful for Sarah’s flexibility when our flight home was canceled unexpectedly. She was able to extend her care and watch Marley for an extra morning until we could get home, which was an enormous help during a stressful travel situation. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter.”

Amber couldn’t have been a better pet sitter. I have two cats and two dogs and all of them have strong personalities. Amber went above and beyond to take good care of them, including climbing a fence to get one of my cats out of a tree. She was very communicative, and she sent lots of pictures that gave me comfort. My cats and dogs looked happy and healthy throughout my entire trip, which was nearly 2 weeks. When I came home, I found that she had left me a very nice note, and everything was as I had left it. I will definitely use Amber again.
Madilyn was so amazing with my dogs. She was able to accommodate my last minute request due to a family emergency. Her communication was great, she was so sweet with my dogs and left my place so clean. Highly recommend Madilyn and will most definitely be calling her again.
Neida is the sweetest!! We were getting married and desperately needed a pet sitter we could trust while we weren’t reachable for a few days. We have two small anxious dogs who are also leash reactive, but somehow Neida managed to make them feel safe and cared for so easily!! They typically return from pet sitters feeling anxious and unsettled, but with Neida they were so calm and confident! We loved Neida so much that we’ve referred her name to our friends and family and will definitely be working with her again in the future!
We had a great experience with Lei and would absolutely book with her again. She was an excellent communicator, sending regular updates throughout the entire stay. She also asked thoughtful questions ahead and during the stay, which showed she genuinely wanted to understand our and our dog’s routine! She treated our home with great respect and left everything clean and tidy for our return. We really appreciate her professionalism and attention to detail she showed throughout the experience. Highly recommend!
Jane was wonderful - she was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable and was willing to help us on short notice! She was so thorough in making sure she had all the info needed to feel comfortable caring for our pets! We appreciated her updates and that she left our place in great condition - we would absolutely book with her again!
Anne, Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Jazzy while I was away. She can be a bit particular at times, and you were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to her needs. I really appreciated how carefully you followed her feeding, walking, and play routines. The photos, videos, and daily updates gave me so much peace of mind and made it clear how well she was being cared for. Knowing Jazzy was in such capable and caring hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. We are so grateful for all your help and would gladly trust you with Jazzy again in the future!
Sophia stayed in our home and cared for our dog and two cats while we were away on vacation for a week. She was respectful of our home, kept everything tidy, and ensured our pets were well cared for. When we returned, all three of our fur babies were healthy, happy, and clearly comfortable in her care. During our trip, our dog got into the trash and required an emergency trip to the vet to induce vomiting. Sophie handled the situation responsibly, communicated with us promptly and clearly, and made sure our dog received the care she needed. Thankfully, she made an easy recovery without much issue. Based on our experience, I would not hesitate to hire Sophia again as a house sitter or pet sitter and would confidently recommend her to others.
She was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet, caring, and attentive with my dog, and he absolutely loved her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! ❤️🐾
Madi is our #1 booked dog sitter for a reason! She is so caring, gentle, and professional, our pup always gets so excited to see her. She makes weekend trips a breeze, and we don’t have to worry about leaving our dog with someone for multiple nights. She does a great job executing his routine, keeping us informed, and leaves our house cleaner than when she left it. Love having Madi to help our Strudel!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dunn Loring
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dunn Loring on Rover is $51.73 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 10,057 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dunn Loring. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dunn Loring walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dunn Loring maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
