About: I once had 13 cats I cared for. I now have a dog and a cat of my own. I enjoy spending time with animals. I can host up to 2 dogs a night in my home. I have a large yard they can play and do their business in. I have a crate they can use if needed or they can sleep on the couch or floor. If you prefer I can come to your home and sit with your animals, I would need to leave a few times a day to come home and care for my own pets. I can administer any needed medications. I have cared for sick animals in the past. Currently can work with my laptop anywhere there is an internet connection. Happy to sit with your pets or stop by for visits several times a day. If they are brought for boarding I can give them breaks as often as needed. I can crate your dog if needed at night. I can walk your dog. I have a large yard for your dog to play in.

About: I help to care for two dogs at home, one of which struggles with anxiety. I frequently volunteer at a local cat shelter where I help care for and socialize animals. I’m fresh out of college and still looking for a job, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of pets. Reach out whenever! My dogs are fed twice a day and walked at least twice a day, not counting regular potty breaks. If your pets have any more advanced needs or schedules, I’m happy to accommodate them.

Your fur baby will be treated like family!

“RUN, don’t walk - to hire Tayler for all of your pet’s needs. I’ve had my fair share of lackluster dog sitters (even from this app, unfortunately) and Tayler goes above and beyond on every front. It started with the meet and greet - I have two anxious beagle girls who get a bit stressed with new people in the house. The moment she walked in, they were at ease, barely made a fuss and were asking for belly rubs within a few minutes (lol I swear pets can sense great energy.) Tayler stayed at our place for a few days while we were away and kept us very updated with walks, happy photos and with any questions she had about our place. She’s kind, nurturing and is exactly the person I needed to find for me to feel *amazing* about leaving them with someone. I just know her calendar is going to fill up quickly - so don’t hesitate to book her ASAP 👏”

About: I have always had a special connection to animals! My first word was LITERALLY puppy. Dogs have been apart of my family my entire life. I've taken care of dogs of all ages ,as well as many different breeds from a 120 lbs black lab to an 8 lbs pomeranian! I have multiple families in my home town that had me as their primary pet sitter. I volunteered at my local animal shelter for many years where I walked the resident dogs! I have a part time job but I am happy to work out a schedule that works for both of us! I am used to different dogs and their little quirks and will be mindful of whatever situation your pup may be in.

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary technician with over two years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. Caring for animals isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. As a pet owner to three dogs and two cats, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family members with someone else. That’s why I strive to provide the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own pets. My veterinary background allows me to confidently recognize signs of illness, administer medications when needed, and provide attentive care for pets with special needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I’m available Monday through Friday before 8:00 AM and after 5:00 PM, making me a great option for early morning visits, evening walks, or overnight care. On weekends, I have open availability and can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs, whether it’s drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, or extended care. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. My pets are a huge part of my family, and I care for them with plenty of love, attention, and enrichment every day. Whether we’re playing, going for hikes, swimming, exploring new places, or spending time socializing, I make sure they stay happy, healthy, and fulfilled. I believe every pet is unique, and I will provide the same level of care and affection to your furry family member. Whether your pet enjoys curling up for cuddles on the couch or prefers long walks, playtime, and other high-energy activities, I’ll tailor their care to their individual personality and needs. Most importantly, I will always respect your wishes, your pet’s routine, and your home, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Haylie! Caring for pets has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just giving extra cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks easily fit into my routine, and I’m always close by to make sure they feel safe and cared for. Working from home allows me to provide reliable, consistent care and keep your pet’s day as happy and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets get the same love and care as if they were my own. I create a safe, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I always keep a close eye on them and give them lots of love, care, and companionship.

About: I have 5 decades of experience with my own pets and sitting for many neighbors and friends pets. I believe everyone has that one pet that has stolen their heart. For me that was Nalah, our Chorkie for over a decade. I’m recently retired and have a lot of availability. This is in addition to having a huge love for animals. They are the best. All my neighborhood cats and dogs come to me when I walk the hood. I have a fenced yard and am on guard when pets are outside. I provide constant supervision inside and out. You can rest assured that with me a safe environment is a priority!

About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available

FAQs for House Sitting - Federal Point

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 905 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Federal Point. 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 Federal Point 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 Federal Point 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 Federal Point 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Federal Point. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
