“Lindsay did a fantastic job with Pepper during the drop-in visit. From the start, she was incredibly attentive and thoughtful - she even took notes during our meet and greet, which showed how much she cared about getting everything right. During the visit, she made sure Pepper was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. She also kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear she paid close attention to instructions and genuinely cared about Pepper’s well-being. I’d absolutely trust Lindsay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and caring sitter.”
“Katie and Brian were absolutely splendid with our anxious little pup. They were so kind and patient with our little guy and feel very lucky to have found them.”
“Jennifer was an excellent cat sitter for Melvin. She sent several pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Melvin seemed super comfortable and well cared for the entire time, and it was clear she was great with him. Communication was smooth, she was reliable, and I had no complaints at all. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Lei and Skye took wonderful care of my cat. My cat is usually very cautious around people, but she truly trusts Lei, which says a lot. Both Lei and Skye were very responsible and attentive — they checked for throw-up during every visit and cleaned everything up promptly. I could tell they genuinely cared for my cat from the heart, not just as a job. I really appreciated their patience, kindness, and dedication, and I felt very reassured while I was away.”
“Alison regularly takes care of our cat, Zoe, but this particular time she needed extra care due to some new medical issues. Alison was incredibly flexible, attentive, kind, and communicative when things changed last-minute, and we’re so thankful she could be there for us (again!). Highly recommend!”
“We love working with Taylor for our cat-care needs! She’s extremely responsible, communicative and caring. We would happily recommend her to anyone in the area looking for cat care!”
“Elise stopped in to watch our two cats, and we were all delighted with her care and communication. She was proactive about questions and accommodating to our scheduling needs. I enjoyed her updates and felt confident that my cats were being well-cared for.”
“This is the second time we've hired Amanda ... this time for a last minute booking and she came through, braved the snow and ice on the streets and our pups were happy to see her.”
“Dani did a great job taking care of my senior kitties. She was very mindful of making sure one got his blood pressure meds on a consistent schedule.”
“Seth was absolutely amazing! The constant communication and the daily pictures and videos he sent make you very comfortable. When I came home everything was clean for my cat and left the place just like how we left it. I would definitely recommend Seth as I will be booking him more for the future”
“Kaitlyn was so great and Del was so happy when I got home!!! She was well taken care of and played with. Kaitlyn was very communicative and helped so much!”
“Sara did an excellent job looking after our cat! She was thoughtful, timely, and communicated well with us to make sure our cat was well taken care of. I would recommend her highly!”
“Hannah was great! I booked her to spend a couple of hours with our dogs during the day while our night sitter was working. We have a Corso. Hannah was gracious to come meet our dogs prior to appointment.”
“This was our first time having Isabelle and her dad care for our two cats, and they are delightful caregivers. They were caring, responsive, and the cats clearly loved the visits!”
“Shannon did an AMAZING job helping us when we needed a last minute drop in visit. She took such good care of our pup, providing lots of play, cuddles, and not giving up when our front door was a pain to unlock and I was being terrible about checking my phone. Couldn't reccomend more!”
“Sierra was AMAZING!!! I was so anxious to leave my cats while I went away for vacation, but Sierra gave me such a peace of mind. I was able to actually relax and enjoy my vacation instead of worrying the whole time :) Sierra gave me updates and pictures of my cats when she visited which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: For 11 years I was a Yorkie’s mom ( her name was Mimi) and for 17 years and 8 months a Shorkie’s mom (his name was Apollo). Now my precious babies crossed the rainbow Mimi in January 2024 then Apollo joined her over the rainbow on November 2025 and I miss them so very much.. I am an accountant and I am working part time from home and missing my furry babies terribly.So, I would love to help you care for your doggies. I absolutely love animals specially dogs and I have a special place in my heart for them. I care for pets as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, needs and routine. During walks, I use properly fitted collars or harnesses and I always listen to the dog’s needs and I let them choose their route and pace, always making sure they are away from harm’s way. With Mimi and Apollo I always said: “I don’t walk them they walk me”.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falls Church
Lei was wonderful with our shy cat, Tito. She sent thoughtful updates and cute photos that gave us peace of mind during our trip. It was clear Tito felt comfortable and was very well cared for. She’s always our first choice when we’re away, and we’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter.
Allison has watched my cat on numerous occasions and I couldn’t speak higher of her! She is flexible, attentive, responsive, reliable and responsible for both me and my pet. She tends to him with more than a standard check in and I can tell my cat is fond of her. Allison is very familiar and knowledgeable with cats and always keeps me updated with matters important to me. Highly recommend!
Elizabeth is the first sitter I ever used for my two cats and I will always rebook with her! She took such great care of my babies and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands especially with one of my cats having a medical condition. Communication was fantastic, she sent an update and photo after every visit, and I could always count on her to be right on time.
Henry was wonderful with our two cats while we were away for a week! He was reliable, caring, and made sure both cats were well taken care of. Both of our cats seemed very comfortable and happy in his company. Henry was great about keeping us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He was attentive to their needs, dependable, and treated them like his own pets. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats made it obvious that they were in great hands. We highly recommend Henry to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. He made leaving our cats for a week stress-free, and we will absolutely book with him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Falls Church on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 16,182 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Falls Church. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Falls Church stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Falls Church. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
