“Katy went above and beyond to care for our dog Nelson, especially during all the snowy weather. She played with him indoors and made sure he got exercise even when he didn’t want to spend much time outside. She is amazing!”
“Elizabeth is the best! She has cared for our cat several times now, but our cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and now needs more care. Elizabeth has handled it all like a pro, communicating clearly and being very patient with my nerves. Thank you!”
“Maryam was wonderful. She absolutely put our minds at ease, checking in daily while we were away. She was very communicative before and during our trip and we knew our cat was in good hands. We'll definitely use her again!”
“Alena was great! She did a meet and greet with us ahead of time, asked all the questions and she was all good to go! She did an amazing job with her comms and took great care of our pup. I will definitely reach back out next time we need someone to drop in, she was great!”
“Erin was very sweet and attentive when it came to taking care of my dog Cheerio. She made sure to know his routine and regularly updated me during drop-ins. Her communication was consistent and made me feel confident that he was being well taken care of.”
“Megan and Erin always take such good care of Beau and he loves them too! We know our pup is in great hands when they watch him or visit him! Would recommend to anyone! They also have a very sweet pup, Biscuit, who also gets along with our dog and is super friendly!”
“Pamela is the best!! She took such good care of our cats, and I'm pretty sure the house is cleaner now than when we left. :) She sent detailed updates and pictures, and took extra time to play with our cats and wash our their bowls every day. She even watered our flowers outside and sent pictures of those too! We will definitely use her again and give her our highest recommendation. Thanks!!”
About: I spent a month caring for an elderly dog back in college. I ensured she received her daily medications and took her on walks on the icy Midwest winter sidewalks. She was a joy to spend time with! I currently work part time and on my own schedule, so I am flexible and able to schedule a visit that can meet your fur-baby’s needs! I wake up early and am available in the mornings and in the afternoons, and also can make time for nighttime visits. I offer drop in services, dog walking and housesitting! I am happy to arrange with you the best possible care for your pet and learn more about how to care for your unique fur-baby! Please tell me your needs and wishes and we will communicate and create a plan together. I am happy to send photos and updates of your pet at the frequency you would like! (By the way, I am known for my photography and have been complimented on the photos I take of pets not only because they are adorable but also because they capture the essence of their personality)
About: I’ve been dog obsessed since birth. I grew up in a household ruled by Bernese Mountain Dogs, and now I’m proudly owned by two adopted pittie mixes who run my schedule, my heart, and probably my taxes. Big dog? Small dog? Senior dog with meds and opinions? Puppy with chaos in its bones? I’ve seen it all. I’m fully fluent in pill pockets, peanut butter medicine tricks, slow walkers, fast pullers, and “if I don’t sniff that one blade of grass I will die” behavior. My goals are simple: ✔ keep your dog safe ✔ make them happy ✔ send you unhinged photo evidence of their joy Walks are safe, vibes are high, and tails are wiggly. I believe in positive reinforcement training, and excel in giving out treats. I walk dogs full time, and can't think of anything else I'd rather do with my day! I own two dogs of my own and have daily experience with feeding, medicating (if necessary), walking, light training, and snuggling dogs. My whole life is pet care! I make safety and comfort my top priorities on every walk. I follow your dog’s routine, walk pace, and any special instructions (like leash preferences, meds, or reactivity notes). I always keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and avoid other dogs when on walks. You’ll get plenty of updates and photos so you know your pup is happy and in good hands!
About: I’ve taken care of puppies and mid-aged dogs before. Your baby will be in great hands as I make sure to stick to a routine that allows proper exercise and care! Dog sitting will benefit both of us as I love dogs, but don’t have one of my own! I work part-time in a hybrid schedule, so I have a lot of free time. I am generally free all week except Tuesdays. I attend virtual meeting sporadically throughout the day, but I chunks of free time frequently! I have been around dogs my whole life and love spending time with them. I love going on walks and having a walking companion is a plus! I also give as many picture updates as you would like to make sure you’re confident in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falls Church
Megan was fantastic with my cats! You can tell from the photos that they were all happy and comfortable with her. Lots of calm body language 💕 She absolutely loves your animals like her own. My cats have their own quirks/cat dynamics and she was able to pick on them very quickly. 😊 She has great attention to detail and is a great communicator. She brought up litter concerns with one of my elderly cats, and we were able to work with a game plan. She was able to give my elderly cat his inhaler no problem. He can be shy with strangers but he seemed to really like her! Highly recommend! Thank you Megan!
Amanda was great as always and even had to deal with us and our door code issues, sorry! Thank you for waiting and being patient. We will definitely reach out to her again and are very grateful for her communication, flexibility, and proper care for Morris. Thanks!
Jennifer is a very great pet sitter! My cat has high needs and will feel anxious when he is not with me for a long time. I feel so appreciative that Jennifer provided high patience on taking care of my cat and proactively sought a better strategy to solve issues. Thank you Jennifer!
We had booked Juan for four days to watch our cat. Unfortunately, a storm caused us to have to cancel our trip after the first day. Juan worked with us and Rover on how to move forward. On that one day we had his services, he was very communicative, sent photos and videos playing with our cat, and overall checked off all our boxes. Excellent experience working with him!
Joaquin was great! He was super accommodating about changing my cat's feeding plan after her automatic feeder disconnected from the internet while I was gone, which I really appreciated. I was also grateful that he took the initiative to clean up hairballs while I was gone - with three cats, I was expecting to come back to a lot of cleaning, so this was a really nice bonus. I'd definitely rehire him

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Falls Church is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. 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 16,067 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Falls Church. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Falls Church. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
