One day seemed a little tough on them and Lenny stayed way past her time to show them the love they needed. She kept us updated on everything and send lots of pictures which was much appreciated. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, and my whole family, including cousins, all have dogs! So it was natural that I finally would get a dog. I wanted to wait until I had the time and attention to do so. It was life changing when I got my lab, Baxter. I instantly fell in love! Not even two years later, I looked to rescue another dog. Daisy came along as a rehome and again, I had no idea how much more my love for dogs would grow. Baxter and Daisy loves other dogs. We have a huge yard that they truly enjoy and the neighborhood pups also love. I’ve watched other people’s dogs and have had other family members’ dogs for weeks at a time. Your pup(s) will have a great time with us! They will be treated as family! Currently I work from home and am available for daily long walks, but I do have a yard for those pets with less mobility. If there are any additional tasks needed for the care of the pet, I will ensure they receive it. I treat my pups as family, and would do the same for any pets I will watch. They will lots of love and pets. I try to learn their personality and make them feel at home as soon as possible, allowing them access to all parts of my home.
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: Having taken care of a precious Springer Spaniel for 14 years (Cocoa), I'll do my best to take care of your dog as if he or she were my own. I'm usually quite responsive when it comes to bookings and arrangements, responding within 15-20 minutes. I'll take them out to play and walk and feed them at least three times a day. I'll also bathe them, if need be. Most importantly, I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure that your dog will have fun while with me. I currently have open availability in my schedule, so I could most definitely sit your dog full-time if necessary. Above all else, I just love working with dogs as they are my favorite animal.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Belvoir
Leah was so incredibly kind to Ari and Sundance and we were so grateful for her help while we had an out of town trip. She was loving to them, very communicative, and even went out of the way to make sure that one of our pups didn’t jump around too much after eating his meal after I mentioned how we try to keep him settled. Her attentiveness to detail was so much appreciated!
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 .

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.

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.
