“Lei is a fantastic pet sitter. She cared for my 3 year old golden retriever in my home while I was on vacation for a week and I felt very confident in all the care, attention, and love she gave to my pup while I was away. She kept me informed with many pictures and updates each day which I really appreciated. She paid great attention and followed all care instructions carefully. I enjoyed my vacation more knowing my pup was happy and in such good hands. We will use her again for sure and cannot recommend her enough!”

“Oriana was absolutely amazing with our dog Daisy! Daisy can be reactive and needed several medications and Oriana handled everything perfectly. She sent regular updates and many pictures of Daisy which we loved to see. And she left our home spotless!

“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy.

Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”
“Korrey was amazing! He was very attentive and understand with my concerns regarding general care, as well as my dog’s previous health issues. He kept me up to date with everything they were doing from her behavior, her day-to-day routine, etc.! He was extremely charismatic and went the extra mile for my girl. I will definitely be booking with him again when I need services!”

She took Rizzo for walks around the neighborhood, played fetch with her, snuggled; all the things our dog loves :) She went above and beyond and we will absolutely be reaching out to Kayly again when we are away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falls Church
We had Sjoribel housesit for us for a second time - she watched Cleo for an entire week. Cleo got several walks a day and ate her meals. Sjoribel always gave us detailed updates and let us know if anything was off routine. We received photo updates every day which we loved. We came back to a spotless house and a happy dog. Highly recommend Sjoribel!
Savannah was wonderful with our pets - they took to her right away and were so excited to have her stay! She was very communicative, responsible, and provided updates great updates reassured this overprotective pet mom about my pug handling the summer heat! Would absolutely book her again!
There are no adequate words to describe Yiting's incredible gift with animals and our gratitude for her work with us! We have a dog with very special needs, but from the first moment our dog interacted with Yiting, he was at ease and connected with her as if they'd known each other for years. This is entirely due to Yiting's innate ability and specialized training to connect with animals in a way that dignifies them and their needs, helping them feel secure. I am so thankful we found Yiting. She will be our #1 go-to for anything our dog needs in the future. And she took absolutely wonderful, thoughtful care of our home and even our two birds as an overnight sitter. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Amanda has house/dog sat for our two pups for the last couple of years, and she is simply the best. Not only has she done all of the ordinary things wonderfully—being timely, taking care of all of the doggie meds, taking them for great walks, sending cute pics, keeping the place spotless, etc—but she has gone above and beyond countless times for us. Taking care of the pups on short notice and extending stays when life has thrown emergencies at us, shuttling them to the vets, and taking great care of our home, plants, and cars. You name it. And the best thing is she gives them love. We are moving, alas, and will truly miss Amanda. But if you are lucky enough to have her watch your pets and homes, you will thank me for steering her your way.
Kelley was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her enough! She stayed at our home for 4 nights and truly went above and beyond in every way. One of the things I appreciated most was that she stayed with Tyson almost the entire time instead of coming and going throughout the day. Knowing he had someone there with him gave me so much peace of mind. She was also very communicative throughout her stay, sending regular updates that made it easy to relax while we were away. She was incredibly respectful of our home and left everything spotless when we returned. Most importantly, she took incredible care of Tyson. He's an older dog with some health issues, and he had some messy accidents during her stay, including in the middle of the night. She handled every situation with so much patience, kindness, and love. It was obvious she genuinely cared about him, and that meant the world to us. I would trust Kelley with Tyson and our home again in a heartbeat. She exceeded every expectation, and I would 100000% book her again. If you're considering Kelley, don't hesitate! Your pets and your home will be in the absolute best hands!
Zosha was an absolute godsend - we had a last minute rover cancellation and booked Zosha the day before we had to leave. Our dogs loved him immediately - He was great about sticking to their routine and provided multiple updates/pictures throughout the day. Thank you for taking such good care of our pups!!
We can’t recommend Leslie highly enough! Our dogs, Mikko and Jack, are a little older, and when work travel came up, we needed someone reliable we could truly count on. It was such a relief to know and trust that Leslie was able to take exceptional care of our older boys. She was always quick in our communications and we know that she cared for our boys like they were her own dogs. Thanks so much Leslie!

FAQs for House Sitting - Falls Church
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Falls Church on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 10,243 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 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.
