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.”

About: With 6 years of hands-on experience, caring for dogs is more than my job — it’s my passion. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I personally provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or companionship, I treat every dog like family. Pet care is my full-time passion! I’m home throughout the day, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care. I personally handle every service, from drop-in visits and daily walks to boarding and daycare. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my priority. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I personally provide a loving, supervised environment with a spacious fenced yard. During drop-in visits, I carefully follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and share updates and photos for your peace of mind. I am the sole caregiver responsible for every pet in my care.

About: Dogs are tight, like one walked me down the stairs as a kid, they can sure be annoying sometimes but just gotta keep ‘em fed and comfy. I’m free most days except Wednesday though that’s negotiable, case by case. I’ll probably be free most of the summer unless something else is in the docket. It’s best not to rule them up, but keep very attentive. Pee and poop when needed, eat when needed, telling when by body language. Also good to snuggle if I’m not feeling too smothered LOL. And of course, you never know what these guys are capable of, so doors shut, fragile things put away.

About: Hi! I’m Callyn, and I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua named Cookie who is a very special part of my family. My experience comes from caring for my own dog, and I’m new to caring for other people’s pets. Caring for Cookie has taught me the importance of patience, gentle attention, and a consistent routine. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s habits and needs, follow your care instructions, and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure it’s a good fit. You can also expect photos and updates. I speak both English and Spanish! I work and attend college, so I plan pet care around my schedule. I’m available every Thursday after 12 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays after 3 p.m., and Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 5 p.m. During these hours, I’m happy to provide walks, visits, and attention for your pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and daily routines, and take time to learn about their personality and needs. I keep dogs on a leash during walks and send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing.

Omigosh Rachel was the sweetest with our baby! She managed to tire that little monster out during their visit which is no simple feat 😂 Thank you for all the special plays, foods, and treats you provided for our sweet, crazy lil girl. This was Rachel’s first time visiting Lilly, and Lilly warmed right up to her (not guaranteed). Highly recommend Rachel!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fort Hunt

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Hunt is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 15,155 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Hunt. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Hunt. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
