“We’ve been using Hannah for a few months now and she’s the best! Super reliable, communicative, and always attentive to Azul’s routine. He has separation anxiety so there’s a few extra steps involved in his care, and she’s always so thoughtful about handling everything. It’s such a relief having someone dependable we can trust with him :)”
“Wonderful sitter for our two dogs! Great communication, dependable, and clearly cares about them. We came home to happy pups and couldn’t be more pleased.”
“Molly was fantastic! She gave regular updates and handled our dogs with professionalism and care, including reaching out whenever she had a question. Will be booking again!”
“Orianne was amazing with our girl Brandy. She took the time to work through Brandy’s anxiety and was so patient and understanding along the way. It’s hard to come across sitters that pay attention to every little detail, but Orianne is beyond detailed oriented. Will definitely be booking her again without hesitation.”
“Mark always goes above and beyond, leaving your pup (and place) better than he found it. He’s a natural when it comes to dogs. Not only does he provide ample care for your pup, he encourages good behaviors and reinforces training. He will always be my go-to man for dog sitting, as both my dog and I adore him. Thanks for all you do Mark!”
“This was our first outing with Alayza, and she is now on our go-to list! She got to know 2 older dogs that aren't always simple - and both gave her high marks! They quickly wanted to hang close to her!”
“Lucia did an amazing job sitting our dog Bailey overnight! She was so communicative with sending pictures and updates and Bailey seemed so happy when we got home! I was nervous about leaving our girl for the weekend and Lucia made it so much easier. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Andrea was such a wonderful sitter for our holiday weekend! She was so responsive and engaging, and I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of our fur babies while we were away. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for amazing care!”
“Kai was amazing with our dogs. Rafa is usually slow to warm but he like Kai right away. And when these tourists got lost and were so late he stayed well after the agreed time. He did great walking them and keeping them entertained.”
“Alicia took amazing care of our dog, Bunny, for a week and truly went above and beyond! She kept us updated with adorable photos of Bunny playing, going on walks, and relaxing at home, along with thoughtful texts and funny stories that gave us so much peace of mind. She also cared for our hermit crab, Mittens, watered our hydroponic microgreens and outdoor plants, and treated everything with such care. Every photo showed Bunny looking happy, relaxed, and completely smitten with Alicia. As an incredibly thoughtful surprise, Alicia even left us dinner since we were getting home late from our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. We highly recommend Alicia to anyone looking for someone who is caring, reliable, and truly exceptional!”
“With Wayne, both my pooch and my home were in excellent hands while I was away for several nights. I also appreciated his responsiveness to my texts and the daily updates and photos every morning. A stress-free experience that I look forward to repeating on my next trip!”
“Kymberlee did a great job caring for Ralphie. We had some pleasant exchanges before the booking to nail down details. She sent pics and updates during her stay and left the house in good condition. Ralphie seemed happy upon our return and even looked for Kymberlee downstairs where she stayed on the day after she left! We would be grateful to have her sit for us again.”
“Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !”
“Christine took amazing care of our one year old rescue during our week away. She’s a fantastic communicator and sent regular updates with adorable photos from long walks and playtime. She even taught our pup a new command, and left our home spotless and our lawn watered too! Our pup adored her and we will absolutely be rebooking. We highly recommend Christine. You and your pet will be so happy with her truly exceptional care!”
“Shannon was great and took really good care of Lady! She sent pictures and was very communicative the whole time. I could tell she really cared for Lady while she watched her.”
“I recently booked Juan to stay at my place while traveling and he did a great job. He provided me with daily updates about the walks, potty times, and feeding (since my dog is a little picky eater). He definitely took care of my dog as if he was his. My place was left cleaned and organized. I will add Juan as my primary in house dog sitter. Highly recommended. Thank you Juan!”

I usually get anxious about finding a sitter for my dog and cat. That being said, Elsbeth was beyond excellent with Kiki and Trixie! She responds very quickly which I deeply appreciated! I could tell my fur babies were very comfortable with her and really loved her company. Elsbeth kept things running smoothly while we were gone and was great at keep us updated. We came back to a clean home as well. Cannot recommend her highly enough! If I needed someone to watch Kiki and Trixie again, I would 100% request her again!! Thank you Elsbeth!
Our little Morkie took an instant liking to Larissa. She was timely, responsive, sent great photos updates & we returned to a spotless house & happy pup. She even went above & beyond, helping out w/ a neighbor’s package delivery. We would definitely book her again as an overnight pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Myer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Myer on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,406 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Myer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Myer 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 Myer 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.
Tip: 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 Myer 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
