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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
