“Stephanie house sat our dog and cat for a week whilst we went home to Australia. Although we were in a different time zone, her communication was great and she made sure to check in. She was kind, reliable and very trustworthy. We returned home to two very happy pets and a very clean house! Couldn’t recommend her more highly!!!”
“Ash was great. She was very thorough about getting to know our pets routines and their boundaries which is amazing! Our anxious/reactive dog was happy to cuddle up with her and she did a good job at administering all of our pets medication. She clearly cares about animals a lot and has a very gentle and calm attitude with pets. Our cat that hates and gets aggressive with everyone but us seemed to hit it off with her which is awesome! I would definitely recommend Ash!”
“Alexandra was great! I loved her daily updates with photos and we returned to a happy and healthy dog. Our dog was a little more tired than she typically is with dog sitters, so that was great. She even surprised us with a flower, card, and origami dog when we got home. We will definitely be interested in using her again!”
“Makenzie is amazing! I booked her on short notice, and she went out of her way to make sure we met and felt comfortable. We have three dogs—two Boston Terriers and a French Bulldog puppy—and she handled everything beautifully. I really appreciate her being upfront, and her rates are very reasonable. She followed the walking, medication, and feeding schedule perfectly. Makenzie is kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. When we came home, the house was clean, she had even washed her own sheets, and most importantly—the dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Outstanding! Mark sets the gold standard, then goes above and beyond! We were so nervous leaving our fur babies. Yet Mark immediately eased our concerns. He's so thorough, you can tell he really loves the animals, not just a job. When I forgot about the treat schedule, he gladly included it. I loved so much his regular messages with all the photos. I could see he did everything to perfection! He took time to love on and pet our babies. He didn't have to, but that extra touch brought our babies comfort when we couldn't be home. His messages even included relevant concern for the husband and myself while we were on vacation. He not only took excellent care of our fur babies, but also our home. You could not have any better sitter than Mark!”
“Overall Madison did well and my dogs loved her. She was responsive and left my house super clean. We did have some hurdles but I appreciate Madison being communicative so we could troubleshoot as best we can. To be fair I do have three dogs, including one very young timid one, one that is chill but sometimes escapes, and one that is chill but currently has an ear infection and needed medication administered daily.”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Razan. We found ourselves needing a house sitter and dog sitter on short notice, and what initially felt like a stressful situation turned out to be one of the best things that could have happened for our two poodles, Otto and Tula. From the moment we left, we knew they were in great hands. She gave them an incredible amount of attention, took them on walks, played with them, and genuinely cared for them as if they were her own. We especially appreciated how thoughtful she was about the summer heat, adjusting walks and activities to make sure they were safe and comfortable and protecting their paws from hot pavement. This was also their first Fourth of July, and she did a wonderful job helping them navigate the fireworks and all the excitement that comes with the holiday. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. As a bonus, she left our home in even better condition than we left it. Everything was spotless, organized, and clearly cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly trust her with our dogs and home again. Highly recommend.”
“Anna did a great job with our 7 month old puppy! We were so nervous using a stranger for the first time, but she was very communicative and took such good care of him. We appreciated the pictures she sent us for check ins too. Definitely recommend!”
About: I've owned dogs big and small and have always been the go-to sitter for when friends and family need to get away. I love playing and going on walks, letting the dog walk as fast it wants, while still making time to sniff the smells. I can look after pets weekdays after 2pm and all day on weekends! I would be available to board Friday-Sunday regularly, but could make time for other days in a pinch! I have a decent sized fenced back yard with lots of room for playing and a fairly quiet neighborhood that can accommodate very long walks if necessary. I don't currently have any other pets in the home, so your pet will not need to share attention!
“Diana is the best dog sitter! She is responsible, reliable and stays in touch. Our vacation was less stressful knowing that our Benji was being taken care of. I would highly recommend her! Teresa Eubank”
“Penny is an absolutely incredible pet sitter and is my number one pick for watching my 2 dogs and staying at our home when we’re out of town. She always sends updates and photos daily, and is sure to reach out with any concerns or questions about the dogs or their care. I would recommend her to anyone to care for their pet(s). Also, our house is always tidy and clean when we get home- an added touch!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs almost my whole life. I live with a husky and a mini poodle mix. I also have a cat that is now 7yrs. I do have more experience with dogs, but I am so very close to my cat. I can take them for walks or to dog parks, whatever they need. My schedule is mostly free and flexible! I do however share a car and I prefer to only schedule no more than 1 month in advance. Thank you! I do have a fenced front and backyard. I also have a large kennel in storage if needed. I’d prefer to keep them outside if at my house. Very respectful of others space, I used to nanny and have experience being in others homes.
“Jacob does a fantastic job with our old dog! Louie looks happy in all the photos Jacob sends. Jacob is conscientious about giving Louie his meds and makes good decisions about his care. Our house is well taken care of, too! I recommend you hire Jacob!”
“Amber is amazing! We will continue to book with her time and time again. Thank you for always taking such great care of our pups and home - we couldn’t have enjoyed our trip without all your help.”
“Sam stayed a week with my three dogs and not once did I have to worry about their care! This is our second booking with him and he definitely cares for our pets properly. I can’t say enough about him as a sitter. So glad to have him.”
“Veronica was so pleasant and caring. Took excellent care of our lab as well as kept our house clean during our two weeks abroad. Even ran the washing machine as well as the dishwasher prior to us coming home. Our lab was super happy. Would trust her in the future if/when we need her again.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She was very enthusiastic, attentive, communicative, and went above and beyond to make our pups feel comfortable and well-taken care of. She reached out often with updates and questions, and overall we felt that she really cared and connected with our dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with them and my family has owned them ever since I was a baby. My parents got me my own dog when I was 8 and I’ve loved them ever since. Neighbors, friends, and family have all trusted me to care for their fur babies over the years whether it be short trips or long term. I love dogs and am excited to help care for yours! I just moved to the DC area and am looking for work I can do between travels. I don’t have another job, so when I’m in town I am available any day and anytime. I will be starting federal certifications soon but that will be done online. I have a fenced yard in a gated community. I have 3 small Yorkies who are friendly with other dogs. They do have their own room if I need to keep them separate. I can board dogs here, stay at your home, or stop in and check on them…whatever works best for you! Happy to discuss any details or preferences before hand.

Stephanie was wonderful with Maggie Mae! She took care of her for a whole week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Maggie Mae can be pretty needy and loves lots of attention, so it means so much to know she was well cared for and loved while we were away. She was so happy to see us when we got home, and we could tell she was in good hands. We’re so grateful to Stephanie for taking such great care of our girl. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her watch Maggie Mae again!
Tori and Nicole went above and beyond caring for my senior dog, Izzy, when she got sick a few days into my 10-day vacation. They picked up medications and extra food for her and spent some sleepless nights taking her outside, cleaning up after her, and giving her lots of extra cuddles. Knowing she was so well cared for while I was away gave me such peace of mind. I’m incredibly grateful for them!
Eandra was INCREDIBLE with my pups. They loved her and were so comfortable with her. I felt confident that they were taken care of and honestly spoiled with Eandra watching them. I had a lot of hesitation choosing to do rover again, due to a not so great experience, and Eandra was empathetic to my concerns and put my nerves at ease. She also was clean and tidy guest! I would 100% book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Edgemont Park is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $55 per night. 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.

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 Edgemont Park 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 Edgemont Park 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 Edgemont Park 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Edgemont Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
