“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!”
“Kelley is very professional and reliable. Your pets will love her and you can feel confident that they are well attended while you travel. I strongly commend Kelley to you!”
“Korrey did such a good job with our dog. He focused on putting her at ease, and prioritized her comfort and keeping her on schedule. We really appreciated that Korrey was so communicative with issues and questions. We came home to a happy dog and a pristine house, so we'd gladly work with Korrey again!”
“Ajia took amazing care of our dog Luna! She made sure to play with Luna and gave us tons of updates on our trip. It made us feel comfortable leaving our dog when she was in her care!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! She went above and beyond with her communication and how she took care of Chase. I got constant updates and pictures. She was extremely attentive and took care of Chase like he was her own.”
“Oriana was fabulous when staying in our home and taking care of our 12 year old Havanese. First, she offered to do a meet and greet in person before our vacation. Then while we were away for 10 days, she sent daily photo updates and was extremely responsive. She left our house in even cleaner condition than it was when she arrived, and was even thoughtful enough to replace the milk in our refrigerator. Would love to have her again and highly recommend Oriana!”
“Sjory is amazing! We have 2 anxious cats with very strong personalities and she handled it like a champ. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions and was able to adjust to their particular needs. She sent lots of pictures and we returned to our home just as we left it. Thanks Sjory!!”
“Phuong did an amazing job caring for our very senior dog! She stayed in or home, providing love and attention, as well as administering medication and taking care of all of his needs. We received many photos, which assured us that our old guy was in great hands!”
“Josie did a good job staying with my two pups. She communicated well, sent regular updates, and I returned to contented dogs and a tidy house. I’ll be happy to use Josie again!”
“Amanda was great with our dog Winnie and Murphy! She took the best photos and gave us great updates. She was super responsible and we definitely recommend her!”
“Brianna was an amazing house sitter for an extended weekend with our dog, Cleo! She gave great updates and Cleo seemed to be very comfortable with her! Brianna also left our house very clean; it was so great to come home to a happy puppy and clean house! Highly recommend.”
“Liliana was great with jeter! Super communicative and he was very comfortable with her. We could tell jeter was well taken care of and definitely would recommend her as a rover!”
“Eric was wonderful sitting our two dogs at our place. He was communicative, took great care of the dogs and the apartment, and dealt with any issues that came up. 10/10 will be booking with Eric again!”
“The Best! Wayne and Jordan were amazing with my two rescue huskies while I was on vacation. The dogs are generally very cautious of strangers, and they were going through some sibling rivalry and needed to be kept apart - on separate floors of the house. Wayne and Jordan’s pet-sitting experience and patience were apparent in their daily communications and photos. It was great to see how the girls warmed up quickly! Each pup got lots of attention and exercise, and they were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The icing on the cake - the bedding was all washed and the house was clean when I got home. Highly Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“If you are looking for a sitter in the area, Lorena is the one! She was extra professional and personable. She asked all the necessary questions to ensure she provided the best care to Titan and Pharaoh. They adjusted to her quickly and she took great care of them. I would highly recommend her as I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Mikaela stayed with Audubon for the weekend and it could not have been better! She was kind and super patient with a dog who has to be bribed to go outside. Mikaela followed Audie’s usual schedule to a T and was intentional about engaging her and playing with her. She provided regular updates and photos. As a bonus Mikaela left the house exactly as she found it. We are lucky to have found Mikaela!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog and house sitter! She took wonderful care of our home and treated our dog with so much love and attention. She was responsible, thoughtful, and communicative, and we returned to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
Kelley was so great with our three dogs (two of which can be quite a handful!) and also amazing at communicating with me and sending pics throughout her stay. She was also a perfect house guest and went above and beyond. The dogs clearly loved her and we have already talked about rebooking!
Amelia was very communicative and did a great job watching our dog and cat. They were super well cared for, and we appreciated the photos every day. Amelia was also very respectful of our home and left things clean and tidy when she left after the visit. We really appreciated the help and would book again.
Anya is truly a 5-star sitter. She was so attentive with my senior pup, Wetzel! She made sure he felt safe and comfortable, and even cracked the code on getting him to take his critical heart meds! Wetzel ate well, slept soundly, and got along so well with her sweet dog, Watson—two old boys hanging out. To top it all off, she gave me the sweetest wallet-sized Polaroid of Wetzel when I picked him up. I couldn't ask for a better sitter!
Joanna was wonderful! We were able to do a phone call before the stay, and she arrived early for the stay so that we could walk through our pets’ routines! She was friendly, provided lots of updates, and took excellent care of our cat and dog. We were lucky to have her stay with our pets in our home and look forward to having her again!
Mimosa was a wonderful overnight sitter for our sweet dog, Gigi. We were so relieved to know Gigi was in excellent hands while we were on our trip. Mimosa showed up on time every evening, was very communicative via text to update us how Gigi was doing, and sent us pictures as well. She fed and walked Gigi exactly as we instructed. Gigi is mostly blind and so she needs a bit of extra care which Mimosa delivered with kindness and patience. I would definitely work with Mimosa again and highly recommend her for overnight dog care.
I have a very fussy border collie who requires a lot of care, love, and exercise. Chloe immediately bonded with Lou and kept me up to speed on how Lou was doing while she stayed w Lou for an overnight. (She also took complicated directions on where to take Lou to get her a lot of exercise.) I feel tremendously comfortable with her taking care of Lou and staying at my house for an overnight. Highly recommend Chloe.
Can we leave more stars? Nicole was exceedingly kind and very patient with our three pups…able to break down barriers very quickly. Their comfort levels grew with each day, and two of them are sensitive poodle mixes! She kept us regularly informed of their well-being, and this was such a comfort to us. We came home to a tidy and clean house with three happy dogs. She was truly exceptional as a dog and house-sitter. The fact that she’s so highly rated is no surprise to us now. What a find!
Tasha did a wonderful job with our 2 young puppies. We requested house sitting while we enjoyed an evening out to ensure our puppies were kept on a potty schedule and to keep them from being crated too long before bedtime. Flynn and Toffee are happy to see Tasha and Mike when they come to visit. They play with them, keep them engaged, and send pictures to capture their time together. We came home to tired puppies which is a key indicator of a successful evening. We look forward to Tasha's next visit with our boys!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Falls Church is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $78 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.
As of October 2026, there are 10,036 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Falls Church. 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 Falls Church 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 Falls Church 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 Falls Church 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
