Another excellent experience with Christina! The fact that we chose Christina again speaks volumes about the confidence we have in her care. Having a pet sitter who is dependable and genuinely cares for your pet is priceless. Prada was happy and comfortable, and I appreciated the updates while we were away. We will definitely continue booking with her. ❤️🐾🐾

Craig is the BEST! He took great care of Peluche and the house as well. There was a traveling SNAFU on our end on the way home which also resulted in our inability to communicate and he was very concerned about leaving our boy. Can't say enough about how trustworthy he is.

I wanted a mature and responsible sitter, especially since one of my dogs is just a baby, and Lauren was the perfect choice. She was attentive and affectionate to the doggos....and even stayed an extra hour because I messed up on the return time. Thanks so much, Lauren!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! My experience includes dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and plenty of other furry, feathery, and scaly friends. I’m comfortable with animals of all different personalities and love getting to know what makes each pet feel safe, happy, and at home. I’m also an Eagle Scout, where I earned merit badges in Dog Care and other areas that taught me responsibility, preparedness, and how to care for others. I bring that same patience and attention to every pet I look after. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals. I have the patience of an older sibling (lol), the responsibility of a Scout, and the enthusiasm of someone who will absolutely be excited to meet your pet. Whether your animal wants a long walk, a playmate, some quiet company, or just someone to make sure they’re safe and cared for, I’m happy to be that person! I’m currently a full-time student at William & Mary, so my availability is primarily in the mornings, evenings, and late nights, as well as throughout the weekends. I’ll work with you to find a schedule that fits both your pet’s routine and my class schedule, and I’m happy to plan ahead to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I like to follow your lead! Before a stay or visit, I’ll make sure I understand your pet’s feeding schedule, walks, medications, favorite activities, and any house rules. In your home, I’ll keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I have experience rescuing cats and dogs and administering medication. I’ve also done house sitting and pet sitting for several homes. I enjoy running and playing with dogs to keep them active and happy, and I can also help them stay calm when needed. I offer walks up to 1 hour and can safely handle up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable cleaning up after pets, changing diapers if needed, and giving medication. I work Mondays and Wednesday–Friday from 7 to 3, and Saturdays from 3 to 11pm. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Sundays 😊 I adapt to each home and follow the owner’s preferences and routine for their pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or keeping their space clean. I always adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.

About: I just graduated college and am now looking for ways to make cash and also have some fun! I have lived with my parents' dogs for over 10 years and cared for them, but sadly my new apartment won't allow me to get a dog of my own. I'm very active, eager to care for animals in the best way possible, and especially friendly. Dogs never cease to bring me joy, so looking after animals and walking them is a dream job. I'm willing to learn and/or follow directions and care for any special needs as best as I can. Mornings are my best time for visits but up for negotiation depending on my work schedule. In case you're wondering, that last picture I posted is a selfie with a feral pony I met on a hike, if that tells you anything about my animal interaction skills.

About: I love working with and caring for all kinds of animals.Being a licensed technician, it has given me the diverse advantage of knowing just how to tend to your pet. Owning two dogs myself and having 10+ years experience working in a vet clinic, I can provide care and love to your fur baby while your away hard at work or on a much needed vacation. I've been working with animals in a clinic/ ER for about 8years and pet sitting for 11 I started out sitting for family and my neighbors caught on quickly my passion for taking care of animals. I enjoy taking my dogs on hikes, camping, and really anything dog friendly they come with me. I am off during the week and working three days during the eeek d gives me the unquine schedule to care for you pet while you are away at work, doctors appointments or just out and about! I have a fenced in yard and never take others out without a leash on! I don’t let them off leash unless there’s a fenced in area they cannot jump out of

About: We were pet owners for over 17 years for our own fur babies. We cared for them from the time they were outrunning their own feet, all the way through old age. Our family will love on all ages of pets while you are away! Our family has a flexible schedule throughout the week. We have some daytime or evening activities but are generally home. We can accommodate pet care in our home or in areas around our home as part of our weekly routine. Let us know what you need and I'm sure we can accommodate. We can visit your home at various times so your pets can stay in the comfort of their own home. If they come to our place, we will integrate them into our routines and give them plenty of attention. Send us a message and we'll see what we can do!

To say Linda was phenomenal is an understatement. This was the first time I left my fur-sister for more than a few hours. Nervous at first we were relieved when Linda came for the first meet and greet. Kia instantly loved her and welcomed her into her world. From the minute we left until the minute we got home Linda kept in touch with us. With pictures, texts and updates. She even started teaching Kia French!!! To think we have a bilingual dog now!! I cannot say enough about how happy we are with Linda and now feel even happier that we found Kia’s furever sitter!!!!

Meaghan was awesome to work with. She took excellent care of my dog while I was away, from taking him to new trails to bathing him, she even bought him some treats when I didn’t have any. She kept me updated throughout each day with pictures and letting me know what they did and how he was doing. Highly recommended!

About: Your dog will be treated like part of our family! I work remotely from home, so your pup will have plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. They are rarely left alone at most, about an hour on the occasional grocery trip or quick walk around the neighborhood. My husband also works primarily from home, running his own home services business, so there is almost always someone here with your dog. We understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, especially when they’re away from home. Whether your pup loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, we’ll make sure they receive personalized care, regular potty breaks, plenty of affection, and a calm, loving environment. We treat every dog as if they were our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m home most of the time, except for quick grocery trips. I’ll be available to give your dog plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We keep your pups active during the day so they’re ready to settle in at night. Dogs usually sleep in their room with their own bed or blanket (if provided), which keeps them safe and cozy. We have a separate room to ensure they’re comfortable and relaxed. Feel free to message us with any questions—we’d love to make sure both you and your pup feel at ease!

About: Hi! I’m Jake, a second-year law student at William & Mary Law School and an avid animal lover. I grew up in a home that always had at least three dogs, along with cats, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Being around pets has always brought me so much joy, and I truly miss having them around every day. Since my roommates aren’t looking to have pets right now, Rover is the perfect way for me to spend time with amazing dogs and cats while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in great hands. As a law student, responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail are part of my daily life. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I keep a structured schedule that makes it easy to plan pet care into my day. I enjoy taking breaks from studying to get outside for walks, exercise, and fresh air, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or spending time playing with your pet, I’m happy to provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I also have flexibility during mornings, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with pets is one of my favorite ways to unwind from school while giving them plenty of love, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stick to their normal routine. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any specific preferences or routines your pet is used to. I make sure every visit includes plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and exercise based on your pet’s personality and energy level. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 12. I’ve worked on a farm caring for horses since I was a child. I’ve watched dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish for friends and neighbors. No animal is too small or large for me to love! I rescued my own dog three years ago and now have experience in R+ (positive reinforcement) training. I’d love to practice loose leash walking with your dog. I love taking my dog for long walks and hikes, if your dog likes company I’d love to take them together! I’m experienced in administering medicines, caring for puppies, and senior dogs. I work full time so I’m mostly available on weekends and weekday evenings. I have a car and can get myself anywhere in the Williamsburg area pretty easily. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pet is well taken care of. I understand dog’s body language, and am meticulous in making sure your pets needs are met.

This is our second time using Ashton. The first time was for dog walking and this past week was for overnight home sitting for our dog and three indoor cats. Ashton did a great job of sending us updates and photos. She made sure to use the dog booties when it was scorching hot outside during walks. Our dog is anxious during storms and Ashton kept her close and snuggled with her to try to keep her calm. Good detailed instructions were helpful and appreciated. We are thankful for the care she provided.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ewell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ewell on Rover is $38.85 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 524 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ewell. 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 Ewell 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 Ewell 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 Ewell 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 Ewell. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
