“Nicole was a wonderful dog sitter. She stayed with my senior girl for two weeks while we were on a trip to Europe. She sent detailed updates and pictures daily, which as an anxious dog mom made me feel so much better. She was a perfect house guest and left the apartment clean and well taken care of. I could tell Bella loved her! During her stay, they ran into neighbors/friends/family who all had nothing but great things to say about Nicole and her care for Bella.”
“Orianne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, calm. Madeline was comforted while we were out, which means the world to us. Madeline was happy to see us, and we could tell she was relaxed. Orianne will be our first call should we need a pet sitter again!”
“I am so lucky to have found Lauren. She is so good with my dog who has a lot of separation anxiety but he quickly warmed up to her wonderful personality and is so comfortable with her. I can’t praise her enough. She always keeps me updated and will continue to be our #1 go to :)”
“Mark was very attentive and caring towards my two dogs during a weekend trip. He easily managed their routine and won the heart of my very anxious chihuahua. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs and now proud mom of 2 cats. I love animals, enjoy long walks (as a runner myself). Been caring for family dogs and coworkers pets while they’re away. I currently work full time with flexible Fridays and Weekends completely open. Usually do weekends while family or friends travel. At the pets place sitting and walks. When at the pets home I like for them to stay in their routine, with everything that involves. Playtime and walks included and lots of hugs.
“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!”
“Marie was such a great dog sitter for our two senior pups! She gave us updates on their day, photos, and I can tell that the dogs had a wonderful time. They went on many adventurous walks. She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Alayza was really responsive throughout, and sent frequent updates. I especially appreciated being able to have a meet & greet prior to booking, to ensure my pups and Alayza would be comfortable with each other (and of course they were!). We will definitely work with her again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Renee was extremely attentive, caring, and thoughtful with our crew! She even managed to get some liquid meds in our old grumpy cat without much fuss! She is very responsive and we felt great on vacation knowing they were in such capable hands.”
“Amy is a gem! We did not plan on having a small kitten along with our two adult cats when we planned a trip, and realized a house sitter was needed to continue monitoring and acclimating our cat fam. Amy responded to all communication promptly, sent pics and updates throughout, and left our house immaculate. We came home to cats who were relaxed and happy. Highly recommend Amy's services, she is a trustworthy professional.”
“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 :)”
“Olympia was wonderful when she watched our dog Harlan for a weekend. She was responsive, sent updates that showed she was really in tune with Harlan, and was extremely respectful of our home, leaving it cleaner than when she got there!”
“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.”
“Katie did a great job taking care of Annie! I loved getting pics and updates so I knew she was doing well. I hate leaving her but knowing she was so well taken care of made me able to enjoy my vacation!”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myer
Pups were so well taken care or and happy! Elizabeth asked appropriate and detailed questions about my dogs’ care and routine when we met and prior to my departure. My dogs were clearly well taken care of while I was gone and the house was in good, if not better, condition than when I left. I’ll definitely book with her again!
Jeff was great! He was very communicative and thorough, having read through all our notes beforehand and responding to all our requests. Our dog and cat both seemed to love the attention they got and the house was well looked after while we were away as well! We’ll definitely rebook!
We had Nicole back to stay for 9 nights to look after our two dogs again, they instantly remembered her and went straight to her for cuddles and licks which was an excellent sign. Nicole is diligent in sticking to the dogs' routine and any instructions you provide and takes excellent care of the house. She sends fun updates and photos of the dogs' activities. We know the dogs were well looked after and were given plenty of attention. Highly recommend Nicole for stress and worry free dog sitting while you are away.
We had another wonderful experience with her! She took fantastic care of Ollie while we were away for the week, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. She sent lots of photos and updates, had excellent communication throughout the stay, and our house was spotless when we got home. Best of all, Ollie was so happy and clearly well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Ava was the perfect housesitter to our two pups! She was on time, had great communication, our house looked better than when we left it, and most importantly, our dogs were clearly taken care of with love and expertise. We’ll definitely be looking forward to working with her again.
I get nervous leaving my Gus with anyone. He is 15.5 and has some medical issues. But, Lucia was phenomenal and took wonderful care of him! Gus sadly got sick when Lucia was watching him, and she handled it all so well. She was very communicative and showed Gus a lot of love and care to help him feel better. I’m so thankful it was Lucia who was here while I was away. I highly recommend Lucia to take care of your fur babies.
Anna was wonderful as always. She stayed with Rooster for several nights while I was away. She provided multiple daily updates and pictures. Rooster loved hanging out with her and I felt at ease leaving him in Anna’s hands. She stuck to his routine and left the house clean. Would highly recommend!
Alannah and Bow took to Molly right away. Each pooch has his or her quirks and at the meet and greet Molly figure it all out immediately. Our house was just as we left it and we can't thank her enough for her care of the dogs and respect for the house. She is a dog whisperer and we'd love to engage her again.
Hallie watched our two cats while we were away. She provided detailed updates, adorable photos, and had us feeling completely comfortable that our boys were being taken care of. Ahead of the stay Hallie asked thoughtful questions and took notes so she had all of their specific details at hand. She really brings professionalism to her stays and is so considerate. Our cats were lovingly pampered, house was in order, and she found multiple ways to go above and beyond. Would recommend her for anyone!

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.

- 96% 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.
