“Ian did a great job taking care of my five year old Labrador. He was at the house almost 24/7 and sent me updates during the stay. Would definitely recommend him to others.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies while I was away! Jeannie is amazing and provided phenomenal communication and pictures making me feel at ease that they were in great hands! Definitely will rebook”
“There’s not much more to say about Alexis other than your search for a sitter stops with her! She is attentive, caring, and super communicative and accommodating. Your pet could not be in better hands!”
“Carmen was a pleasure to work with and my dogs loved her! She was very responsible and reliable, especially with two large and older dogs. O(n days when she knew she would be gone for the entire day, sha made time to come by the house during a lunch break to let the dogs out to pee. She would frequently send me photos and videos of the dogs also. I will definitely hire her again and if you are questioning a pet sitter's reliability, I can vouche for Carmen and recommend her to responsibly look after you dogs while you are out of town.”
“Jasmin was amazing house sitting for my four little crazies! Sent regular photos, was great with communication and went above and beyond making sure she could do everything she could to care for and keep them happy! Was very respectful of home and property!”
“Very responsive, asks good questions and is flexible and very loving to my senior babies. My normally kiddish pup immediately engaged with her and was at ease. Thank you so much for caring for my babes!”
“Elyse did a great job caring for our very young, 1-year old lab. It was the first time the pup was left alone and she was a nervous wreck. Elyse walked her, played with her, and calmed her with loving care. Can’t thank Elyse enough !”
“Lindsey was a great communicator, respectful of our home, and handled our fur babies well. She kept us informed of issues while we were away and was also responsive with any questions or concerns we had. We'd hire her again and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. Thank you Lindsey!”
“Grant and Yunrui took such a good care of my anxious and high energy dog. They walked her, let her sleep with them and sent lots of updates and cute photos. Coco seemed very relaxed and happy when we came back. They followed our long list of instructions very well. I will most definitely rebook them to take care of Coco.”

“Kaylie was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cats and they clearly loved her. She also sent wonderful updates and photos throughout our trip. Her communication was amazing both before and during our trip. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Emily was great with my cat and older dog. She was responsive, provided updates, on time, and responsible. She was patient and kind with my older dog and all of her needs. I would definitely rebook her for house/pet sitting services.”
“I was leaving my two 4-yr-old cats with a stranger for the first time in their lives, and mine - needless to say, I was a touch distraught. These particular fur-babies are very sweet and cuddly, but also quite needy and very skittish around strangers, only adding to my nervousness. I found Jenny on Rover and was really pleased with her. After a Zoom chat, she came over in advance to meet us and learn about their routines, see where everything was, and asked about their favorite toys and how they like to interact. I couldn't have been happier when I saw photos of them not only tolerating her presence in their home, but coming to her for belly rubs and to be combed. Whatever tests they put her through, she passed. I will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Emileo did a great job caring for our little old boy. He sent lots of pictures and gave good updates. We felt comfortable and unworried while we were away. Left our home tidy. Would definitely use him again.”
“Dena is great! She house sat for me and took care of my kitty and golden retriever. She is very sweet and was on time, very communicative and left my house pristine. I'll definitely use Dena again!”
“Kari is absolutely fantastic! She agreed to come watch our boys in our home at the last minute. From the moment we booked her, communication was frequent and helpful! Our dogs absolutely loved her and had a fantastic weekend on walks and snuggling in the house. I know our dogs and our home were so well taken care of while we were away. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Giselle was absolutely wonderful with our dog Bean. We have a senior dog, she’s 15 years old and Giselle was so great and patient with her! Treated Bean like her own dog! Glad we found Giselle and would recommend her to anyone!(:”

Emma is a truly great pet sitter! My dogs loved her right away and even my shy cat came out to spend time with her. Emma took great care of my dogs, who were both on specialized diets and she gave them loads of attention and play time. She has also done drop in visits for me and I really appreciate the amount of time she spent with my babies. Going out of town and leaving my kiddos is always hard, but knowing they were with Emma gave me immense peace of mind. She sent photos and updates and it was easy to see my pups were happy, and I have one super anxious dog. You know you have a good sitter when your animals miss her even after you’re back. 😂 If you want high quality care, book with Emma! You will not regret it. I have already referred her to a friend.
Jordan was so wonderful with snickers. She totally got him and what he needed- lots of space at first and time to warm up. By the end of our trip he was following her around and asking for attention just like he does with us. She sent plenty of updates and snickers was in great shape when we got home. I will 100% call her again.
Kayla did an incredible job taking care of our cats! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well taken care of. She followed all of our instructions and their schedule perfectly, and sent us regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also incredibly accommodating when our travel plans unexpectedly got delayed. Even though she had already finished her scheduled time with the cats, she was kind enough to come back and check on them again when we weren’t able to get home as planned. We really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help us out on such short notice. We would absolutely recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!
I have never been so relived to find a fabulous sitter for our yellow-lab. Sarah did an incredible job communicating throughout her overnight stay... sending pictures, and letting us know when our dog was walked, or when medication/meals were given. I feel so thankful to have found someone so great for our anxious but loving pup!
Jasmine was fantastic!! Before we did an overnight we had her come for a meet & greet and our dogs loved her instantly. She was very communicative, followed all of our instructions, asked all the right questions, and sent us tons of pictures. We so comfortable being away. She was also extremely clean in our home and even took out the trash before she left. She was such a pleasant person to interact with.
Jeana did a great job. We’ve had dog sitters over the years (not thru Rover.com) and altho they’ve all been good, Jeana was our favorite. Loved her style of communication, attention to detail, and the house looked great when we got back. Most importantly, our girls seemed very contented and normal, as if we’d only been out for a short errand. We cannot recommend Jeana enough. She’s the best.

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 Fort Hunt 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 Fort Hunt 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fort Hunt 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!

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 .
