“I've booked Marcela multiple times and she is consistently phenomenal! My Bailey is always happy to see her and I love getting the Rover reports and pictures. Thank you again!! :)”
“Lenny checked in with our two cats once a day for 2 weeks and we are so thankful for her. The girls seemed relaxed, well taken care of and happy when we got home. 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!”

“Sarah is everything you could ask for in a pet sitter. She is 100% reliable and goes above and beyond. It is obvious that she truly cares about the pets that she is looking after. Can’t recommend her enough, and we will definitely see if she’s available for our future trips.”
About: I used to work at Felix and Oscar so if you need any food recommendations, i’m your girl! I also have walked dogs for about 2 years as well as overnight care and drop ins. I just graduated from James Madison University and I am working a part time job so I am available to work mornings and afternoons as well! I have a 1 year old puppy and I take care of him as well as train him. We play, I give treats, and many walks! I also had a puppy throughout all my childhood and he lived to be 16 years old, so i have experience with senior dogs.
“Katie is amazing! Super friendly and great with animals. She took care of my cat and bunny we couldn't be happier. My furry little dears loved when she came round and especially enjoyed the extra pets and play time she would have with them! When I need someone to watch my pets again I will definitely go with Katie.”
About: I’ve had over 10 years of hands on experience caring for my own dog, including providing special care for her in her later years. That experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and how important it is to treat every pet with love and understanding. I truly love dogs! They bring me genuine happiness, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. While I may be new to pet walking professionally, I’m committed to earning your trust by providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care every time. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available most days and can be flexible with timing, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so walks and spending time with dogs is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m reliable and will make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel secure and cared for. I’m attentive on walks, keep a close eye on surroundings, and follow all instructions you provide. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“This is our 5th time having Olivia take care of our cats. She visited for 2 weeks while we were away. She’s very trustworthy and kind. Will continue to have her as our sitter. Thanks!”
“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.”
“Hannah was a fantastic sitter. She took the time to let my cat be at ease with her and then it was play and pets! She had great communication and made me feel at ease leaving my furbaby in her care!”
About: As an active-duty Soldier and lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of reliability and trust. I've cared for my own dogs and have pet sat for friends, providing walks, feeding, playtime, fresh water, and lots of attention. I also volunteer with local animal shelters by taking dogs on "doggy day trips," giving them exercise, socialization, and enrichment outside the shelter. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm an active-duty Soldier, so my schedule is structured and dependable. I'm generally available on evenings, weekends, holidays, and during approved leave. When I commit to caring for your pet, you can count on me to arrive on time, follow their routine, and provide the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I'll always communicate with you and send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I'll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and any special routines. I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll provide regular photo and text updates so you always know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Lisa has been nothing but amazing! She has made being a first time puppy owner a thousand times easier. She provides a detailed update each day/visit that allows you to understand your dog’s needs more and to know how your dog is through out the day. Lisa is the best and recommend her to everyone!”
“Ana was absolutely wonderful taking care of my 4 month old kitten, Tux. She arrived to each drop in visit on time and carried out all of my requests for Tux’s care. She provided detailed reports and many photos of my boy. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Reagan was an excellent and caring sitter who paid great attention to Dutchess and made sure she was comfortable with a stranger in the house. Will absolutely look to book her again!”
“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.”
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.

Ana was absolutely wonderful taking care of my 4 month old kitten, Tux. She arrived to each drop in visit on time and carried out all of my requests for Tux’s care. She provided detailed reports and many photos of my boy. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Claudia was amazing! Our cats recently lost their big sister Mocha and have been too afraid to socialize with the last few care takers, but they regained their confidence with Claudia. Every photo showed them happy and curious to hang out with their new friend. My wife and I agree, Claudia is our new go-to pet sitter for all upcoming trips.
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 has been an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is reliable, always punctual, and clearly genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. During every visit, she kept us updated with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was so reassuring to see our cat happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. We truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and attention to detail. We would highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Esther-Elizabeth did such a great job taking care of my three kitties over the holiday! I have one kitty who needs insulin and one who is shy and she treated them like her own! I’m so glad I found her and would absolutely recommend her as someone who thinks of my pets as family and wants to make sure they’re in good hands. I also felt her rate was very reasonable for the care she provided.
Nicole is an absolutely stellar sitter! She’s fantastic with cats and is everything you could hope for and more: highly skilled and genuinely attuned to the needs of the pet, timely, communicative, friendly, honest, and reliable. The reports she sent from each visit were highly detailed and really helped me feel at ease while my cat was in her care. Highly recommend!!
Sean was wonderful! He was very patient as our cat slowly became more comfortable with him and extremely communicative each visit, sending lots of pictures and status updates. We felt totally secure knowing he was watching our cat while we were out of town. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fort Belvoir on Rover is $23.87 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 15,376 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Belvoir. 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 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.
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 Fort Belvoir. 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.
