“Robert is a very trustworthy dog walker. We don't have to worry when we are away. Robert stays at the house with our dog and sends updates throughout the day. In addition, our dog loves spending time with Robert. We will definitely use his house sitting services again.”
“Everything went well and smoothly!!! Timothy was very responsive and respectful!!! Logan has a great afternoon. Good to see you again Timothy”
“Haley was super responsive and did a wonderful job pet sitting two poms. One of the poms is a little anxious and I was super impressed that he liked Haley right away. Would book again!”
“Amber was super communicative while we were gone, sending frequent updates and photos. Our pup seemed relaxed and happy when we got home, so he obviously had a great time with her.”
“I went out to CO for Memorial Day Weekend and Paris hung out at my place with Zoe. Haven’t done this before but with Zoe being 14, I preferred to have her in the comfort of our home. Paris did a great job with Zoe and the house, and was great about giving me updates. I’ll definitely be hitting her up again when I go on vacation and cannot bring Z with me!”
“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!”
“Daniel was such an incredible sitter. He took care of our dog over a long holiday weekend while my wife and I got married. He even went as far as to bring our dog to the wedding venue for quick post ceremony pictures. He was very kind, communicative, easy to work with and good with our dog. We would absolutely recommend Daniel!!”
“Michelle was amazing! She got along very well with our cat crew. Very responsible, responsive, and accommodated last minute tweaks to our schedule. Will definitely be using Michelle 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.”
“This was our second time having Jeff and Rebecca watch our pups for a weekend trip. Our flight home was delayed by 8 hours and Jeff was super flexible and communicative. He cared for our babies until we could make it home. We were able to stay calm during a very stressful day knowing that our dogs were in good hands. We can’t recommend them enough!”
“Christine was amazing with Scout! She did a great job tiring out her puppy energy and keeping up with some training. She kept her on her schedule and gave her medicine. Scout had a great stay with Christine and we will be sure to book with her again in the future!”
“Start to finish, Laurie was wonderful to work with; great communicator plus attentive, kind, and patient with my spunky pup (& he’s a handful!) Highly recommend for dependable, no-stress caretaking.”
“Kylee took great care of our dog at our apartment! She sent us updates and we felt very comfortable with her. We would definitely recommend her services!”
“Katie was great watching my Sasha! I get a bit nervous leaving her but Katie did a great job at checking in and sending lots of photos and it was clear that Sasha was very comfortable with her!”
“We had such a wonderful experience! He stayed at our house over the holiday weekend and cared for our dog, our cat, and even our foster cat. From the start, he put all of our worries at ease with regular updates and pictures, and it was clear how much he genuinely loves animals. All of our pets were happy and well cared for when we got home. On top of that, he was respectful of our home and left everything in great shape. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, caring help!”
“Katherine was great! She arrived on time and was understanding that Primmie is a little shy sometimes. She also went above and beyond by offering to wash the sheets and vacuum!!”
“I can't recommend Emma highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely love and understand dogs. Our pups, who can be a little shy with new people and one 16 years…warmed up almost instantly — which never happens! Throughout the entire stay, Emma went above and beyond. She kept us updated with photos and adorable little notes about what our girls were up to. Whether it was playtime in the yard, snuggles on the couch, or rests it was obvious our girls were not just cared for — they were loved. When we returned, our pups was happy, healthy, and clearly had the time of their life. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our girls were in the hands of someone so responsible, kind, and attentive. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, look no further. Emma is a true gem!”
“Aly is great with Sadie! Aly has taken care of Sadie for me on multiple occasions, and I always know that Sadie is in great hands. Aly is very responsive, and keeps me up to date with how Sadie is doing. If you’re looking for somebody who is reliable and great with dogs, book Aly!”
“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!”
“I couldn't be happier with choosing Moxy to stay with our doggo, Kona for 10 days! I was nervous (as all pawrents are) about leaving Kona with someone new, especially since she is quite skittish with new people, but Moxy was fabulous!!! By day two she was sending me photos of our normally shy pup cuddling with her. Talk about a load off my mind! From all the updates Moxy provided me with, I knew Kona was getting the primo treatment from her new friend. Moxy was super flexible about staying late when my flight home was delayed and left our apartment in pristine shape, she even gave Kona a nice bath. 10/10 would ask Moxy to care for Kona again!!”

Ariel is amazing and my dog loves her! She is so reliable, communicates so well with great photos, and spoils my dog while I’m away. She even stopped by to give him another walk and feed him dinner when my return trip was delayed. She left house in perfect condition, too. I hope she’s available another time I go out of town. Thanks, Ariel!!
Jessie was an outstanding dog and house sitter! She followed our care instructions to a T and sent daily updates with photos. If she had a question about the dogs' care or behavior, she reached out to confirm she was doing the right thing. We enjoyed our time away knowing our dogs were safe and loved with Jessie. We will definitely book her again!
Carly was great - my 2 dogs quickly became obsessed with her and she really seemed to enjoy them and took great care of them. She was great about sending me regular updates and photos, which I loved receiving. She was very respectful of my home and left it very tidy. I will definitely be using her again.
Troy was great with our senior dog! He house sat for us for a week and was communicative with needs and questions. Our pup can be anxious when we leave and he had no problems with Troy. Also, our place has never been so clean after a Rover stay. We would definitely recommend Troy!
Kayla did a great job with my older dog, keeping her happy and well-looked after for the week I was gone.She was great with sending me updates and pictures. When she had something come up at the very end of the week, she let me know and make sure that my dog had someone to watch her for the last 24 hours.
Paola was a lifesaver! She was able to do a short notice booking and was nothing short of awesome in caring for our babies and our house. She sent frequent updates, took great care of our cat and elderly dog, and was extremely responsive. She also took very good care of our house and was very respectful of the property. Absolutely recommend Paola and will definitely be booking with her again in future!
Karalynn cared for our dog and 2 cats while we attended a wedding out of state. We cannot thank her enough. Karalynn is communicative, loving, and hard-working. She incorporated all the care plans we left for our family without a hiccup. And she sent some really cute and funny photos! She honestly made the entire experience of leaving your family at home easy. Thank you so much, Karalynn.
Angela took incredible care of our dog and our home while we were away for the weekend! From start to finish, she was extremely responsive, polite, and completely respectful of our space. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay with detailed check-ins and sent plenty of wonderful photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while away. It was clear our pup was happy, well-loved, and kept right on his routine. We couldn’t have asked for a friendlier or more trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their dog!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 10,385 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.
