“We’re so grateful to have found Nicole; our dogs genuinely love her. Everyone will miss her as we relocate, and we’d highly recommend her to anyone who asked”
“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.”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Paige for your overnight pet sitting. We used her for three nights and she was beyond amazing. She has great communication and sends pictures and updates throughout her sitting. She also goes above and beyond ensuring your dog is comfortable, and has no issues giving pet meds. We for sure will be using her again.”
“Fernanda was so helpful! We booked her last minute before a trip out of town for Memorial Day and she was able to accommodate us and stay at our own home with our two pups. She’s so responsive and gives updates every day. We are so glad to find someone who we can use in the future!”
About: Leaving your pet with someone else is a big deal — you want to know they're safe, loved, and in good hands. That's what I'm here for. I've been around animals my whole life, from my own pets growing up to regularly caring for friends' cats/pups as an adult, plus 3 years of pet sitting through Trusted Housesitters. I'm used to stepping into a pet's routine and making sure they feel comfortable the whole time their people are away. Right now isn't the right time for me to have a pet of my own, so caring for yours is something I genuinely look forward to. I have a real soft spot for older dogs, but I'm just as happy with energetic pups who need to burn off steam. Whatever your pet needs — a long walk, medication assistance, a game of fetch, zoomies release or just some couch time — I'll meet them where they are. If you're looking for someone who'll treat your pet like their own, I'd love to meet you both! I work full time from home, which means I'm around and flexible throughout the day — not tied to a 9-to-5 that keeps me away for long stretches. I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or playtime between meetings, and I'm also open to house sitting or overnight stays when needed. Because I'm home so often, I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings too. When in your home, your pet's comfort and safety come first! More than happy to follow any safety measures that help keep your pet safe and happy.
“Christine was great! She was patient with my shy husky mix and very communicative every day. I did not have to worry at all while I was away. Would hire her again!”
“Renee took fantastic care of my dog while I was away and clearly loved on him totally! She sent great videos of their walking adventures and him playing. The house was in terrific condition when I got home. I look forward to booking with Renee again when I travel. I trust her to keep my fur child safe and happy. Thanks Renee!”
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
“Laurie is an excellent job taking care of Copper. She was extremely responsive and flexible. She did a fantastic job handling my dog’s reactivity and left my apartment clean. Highly recommend Laurie’s services!”
“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!”
“Carlie was wonderful with our puppy, Penelope! She sat with her during the day while we were at work, and since Penelope is still young and needs a lot of extra attention, Carlie’s patience and care meant a lot to us. She was always prompt, provided great updates throughout the day, and it was clear from the photos and notes that Penelope really enjoyed spending time with her. We felt completely comfortable knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Erica was amazing with our two cats and our dog. She kept us updated throughout our time away, left the house spotless, and, most importantly, treated our pets with genuine care and kindness. It was clear from the start that she truly loves animals, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. I would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Gabz was a fantastic sitter for our senior cat. They were super communicative and diligently took great notes on his many medications. I cannot recommend Gabz enough for anything you need, including house sitting. Six stars!”
“Absolutely fabulous! She is an outstanding communicator, sent tons of pictures, and took great care of an old dog and a neurotic one. 10000% would recommend and use again! 💕”
“Eric was fantastic! He was super communicative throughout the stay and clearly took great care of our apartment. He left everything in its place and even put back on the calming YouTube dog video we'd left on for our dog before we left. He sent us lots of photos of our pup, and it was obvious he was in good hands the whole time.”
“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”
About: Hi! I’m a proud cat mom to two sweet kitties who are nearly two years old. I’ve always loved animals, but I have a special bond with cats and feel very confident caring for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and family care for their cats, feeding, playing, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them the attention they need while their humans are away. I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own. I’m available to stop by for feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, and snuggles (if your kitty is into that!). I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I'm usually available after 4 PM on weekdays, and I’d be happy to drop by in the evenings to feed, play with, and care for your cat(s). I can typically stay for a couple of hours to make sure they’re comfortable, entertained, and well cared for. On weekends, I’m more flexible and can stop by anytime. As long as I have a bit of notice, I’m happy to plan my schedule around your needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I make sure doors and windows are securely closed, keep an eye out for any hazards, and follow all instructions carefully, from feeding routines to litter box cleaning and favorite hiding spots. I always take the time to get to know each cat’s personality and comfort level, so they feel safe and relaxed while their humans are away. Whether they’re playful or shy, I go at their pace and provide gentle, attentive care. Trust is very important to me. I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, and anything I notice, so you always know your pet is in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myer
Guiselle goes above and beyond every time she house-sits our 3 pets for us. She does an AMAZING job - the pets are clearly so comfortable and happy with her, and we have peace of mind while away that our little fluffy family is being well taken care of. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
Emily was so amazing with our cat, Twix and dog, Anoushka! She was so communicative and we received lots of pics! She also was so kind and left our house immaculate— we love Emily and are excited to ask her to housesit again, I know both Twix and Anoushka would love that too!
Jiesen was quite possibly the best Rover we’ve ever had for our dog and two cats. He truly went above and beyond, taking our dog on multiple long walks and excursions in the community while we were gone for the long weekend. Before arriving at our house, he asked detailed questions to ensure he understood the instructions given. During the weekend, he sent updates on how our pets were doing and many pictures, which we really appreciated. He clearly loves dogs and cats and takes this job very seriously, caring for them as he would his own pets. I couldn’t recommend Jiesen enough and we will absolutely be booking him again!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better house and pet sitter. She took excellent care of both Q and C and treated my home with real respect. She communicated with me every day, so I always knew how they were doing and never had to wonder what was going on. That daily check-in made a huge difference while I was away. Q and C were clearly comfortable with her. She followed their routines, gave them plenty of attention, and handled everything calmly and professionally. I came home to happy pets and a house that felt looked after, not just “watched.” I would hire her again without hesitation and would recommend her to anyone who needs someone they can actually trust with their animals and their home.
Rebecca is great! She's dog sat for us several times now. She's communicative and let's me know how Nala is doing or if she has any questions. She's also very up front about any scheduling conflicts so that we can make other plans if need be which gives me peace if mind. We always come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Already have her booked for our next trip.
Monica was a great cat sitter for my one cat. She spent time with her while I was away and despite the fact that kitty can be grumpy at first, Monica seemed to enjoy her. She communicated each day and was able to easily follow my instructions. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 10,276 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.

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.
