“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of my cats! I left very detailed instructions and she followed everything carefully and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure my cats were comfortable and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Sarah was fantastic at keeping me informed of each days visit and included a photo. When I return home, the cats were naturally happy to see me, but also looked well, fed and happy! The Kitty litters looked clean as well. Sarah even washed the dirty, feeding bowls and I plan on contacting Sarah the next time I go out of town!!!!?”
“Ray answers in a timely fashion and is highly communicative. I had unforeseen scheduling conflicts to which she adapted and remained flexible. I appreciate her understanding and willingness to care for my puppy!”
About: I’ve been around animals for over 10 years, from helping neighbors with their dogs to assisting with animal care at my college, which focuses on both plants and animals. Even though my apartment doesn’t have pets, I’ve spent years walking, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats of all kinds. I’m available most Tuesdays and flexible on other days before 9 AM and after 9 PM. I bring patience, consistency, and genuine affection to every furry friend I meet because for me, caring for animals isn’t just a hobby, it’s second nature and it's fun. I work Wednesday's through to Mondays every week and I am available every Monday evenings and all Tuesdays. I am also available anytime in the mornings up to 9:30 am and available every night after 9pm. My home is a peaceful, pet‑free space which is ideal for animals who need calm surroundings. I keep things clean, safe, and comfortable, with plenty of room for walks and play nearby. Having spent over 10 years around animals through my college and community, I understand how to create a secure, loving environment. Whether it’s early mornings or late evenings, I make sure every pet feels cared for, respected, and right at home.
About: Hello, I'm Kristen and I would love to spoil your dog(s) while you are away! I started Rover dog-sitting after losing my dog of 12 years and it was the best decision. I've watched dogs of all sizes and personalities and enjoy learning what makes them unique. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I get to meet many dogs and learn more about dog behavior. I will treat your dogs like my own and make sure they get plenty of exercise to work off any anxiety from missing you. I'm happy to take care of puppies (if they are potty-trained) and senior dogs (if they are ok with stairs) and provide the extra attention they need. I live in a three-story townhome with a small carpeted basement off the garage, hardwood floor on main level, and carpet in the upstairs bedrooms. I have a small non-fenced yard in the back with a deck (4 stairs to ground). I've attached pictures of all the stairs for anyone with senior dogs. Dogs are free to couch-surf and allowed on the bed here. But I can reinforce whatever the rules are in their home.
“Rachel T was amazing! Took real good care of my dog! Quality visits with love, playing, feeding, and even grooming! Will definitely use her again!! Thank you Rachel!”
“Stephanie was phenomenal with my 2 cats, who can both be a little sassy in their own ways. She found all their favourites and had them waiting at the door for her visits within a couple of days. Would 100% recommend Stephanie to take care of your furry friends!”
About: Cats: Over the past 3 years have cats at my sister's cat multiple times including when he first arrived and had just been neutered. I also help taking care of the family cat at home. Dogs: I have dogsat and dog walked a neighbor's 2 dogs for a week. I also helped to watch a family friends dog for a week as well. P.S. I have also grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and helped to take care of a few of them although a do not remember many of them. I can do Drop in visits at any time of day ( morning, midday, afternoon, and evening). However, if I have multiple clients the schedule may very somewhat. Cats: I can feed the cats, play with them, and clean out their litter box as well. I can do medication as well if necessary since I have dealt with some elderly pets before. Dogs: I can feed the dogs, play with them, and walk them. I can do medication as well if necessary since I have dealt with some elderly pets before.
“Claudia did a fantastic job for taking care of my cat Bobbie during my five weeks away from home. She showed up on time and fed and cared for the cat as scheduled. She took the cuttest pictures and filed a report every day. I have never been away from my cat for so long and was apprehensive about the change of routines but Bobbie was well-fed and cared for as if nothing has happened when I returned. Claudia is a sweetest person and very responsive and accommodating. I am sure her training as vet assistant is instrumental in helping Bobbie making the adjustment. I cannot thank her enough and will definitely ask for her next time I am away.”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing with our boys, we have worked with her in the past and look forward to working with her in the future. Thank you so much we highly recommend her services to anyone! 🙏☀️🥹”
“Raychel did a great job taking care of my dogs while I was out of town! She kept me informed of any odd behaviors and issues. I would definitely rebook in the future! Thanks!”
About: I live on post at Fort Belvoir- yes base access. Hello friends! My name is Breanna and I have been working with dogs for 6 years. In 2018, fresh out of high school and not looking to work in fast food, I decided to take my love for dogs and turn it into a job. With a regular client base of 10, and 30 something here-and-there's, I was the top-dog in my small town. I could go into any pet related establishment and they'd know my name and what I offered. All of my business was from word of mouth. When I discovered Rover, I joined a bigger community of animal lovers. In 2022, I moved away from Rover to work in the doggy daycare business. After a PCS across the country here to Northern Virginia, I am now the manager at a different doggy daycare. The biggest thing I have noticed working in commercial pet care, is that not every dog needs a $50 trip to daycare. A lot of dogs I see are stressed out in the new environment, or taking the most expensive 6 hour nap. My goal is to be the person that comes along and gives you a personalized experience cultivated to your pets specific needs, and give your wallet a break as well. To offer a service that leaves you with a smile and your pup a wagging tail. I have experience with any breed you can think of, alongside basic medical care and dog training. I'm a jack-russell of all trades. I currently work 6:30-3pm most days, and my calendar will be accurately and timely updated. As mentioned, I do work full time. I also have three german shepherds at home that require a good amount of my attention. I do not offer boarding or pet sitting because of this. I request that you send me a text or leave a sheet of all your dogs do's & don't's. I have handled all types of behavioral issues, but I cannot accept any dog with aggression to people. I am well versed in dog body language and animal restraint, but I can't do that if your dog tries to go after me.
“Tamara was easy to communicate with and my dogs seemed happy and well taken care of. She was flexible and I could tell she was thinking about what would be best for my pups. I will definitely book again!”
About: I have had pets since I was I was 5 years old, so I have plenty of experience with big and small dogs, kittens, and senior cats! I've never been without at least 1 cat and dog in my household. I currently have a 12 year old cat named Charles who is my absolute best friend. I'm currently on summer vacation from school, so I am free to spend lots of time taking care of pets! I am available 7 days a week, no matter the time! I can come to your house as often as needed to keep an eye on your loved pets. I am available for drop-in visits and overnight stays.
“Cassidy is fabulous! She provides great communication, updates, and is very timely. I fully trust her taking care of my dogs. An added bonus is they are tired when I get home after long work day! Would recommend!”
“Bella was fantastic! We contacted her last minute because we needed help with giving medication to one of our kitties. She was able to come same day. We did a video call and I walked her through everything. We definitely will be using her again and if we loved the photos she sent of the kitties. It was clear that she loves animals.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Belvoir
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of our senior dogs is very anxious when we travel and has always struggled with boarding, often refusing to eat. Having him stay at home in his familiar environment with check ins with Macy made a huge difference! He was relaxed, happy, and eating well. We felt completely at ease while away and are so grateful for the care she provided.
This was my first time using Rover services, and I'd been anxious about it--a stranger in my house, looking after my pets? But I got a great feeling from Lisa the moment I met her, and she did a great job checking in on our dog while we were out for the day. She's communicative, compassionate, trustworthy, and responsible, and I'm so grateful we've connected!
Angela was amazing with Tofu. She spent plenty of time playing with Tofu and petting her. Normally, Tofu has a lot of anxiety meeting new people but she took right to Angela. Communication was clear and Angela arrived promptly at the scheduled time. Would 100% recommend her.
This is my third time utilizing Doreen’s services. She is the best. She took care of my cat and dog babies after having to schedule a last minute work trip. She is very responsive and highly attentive. She loves each furbaby like her own. She is the only person I trust with caring for my babies. She provides great updates every day. If you are thinking about using Doreen’s services.. just do it. You will not regret it.

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 Fort Belvoir 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.
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 Fort Belvoir 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fort Belvoir with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
