About: I’ve grown up around animals all my life. My family always had 1 dog and 1 cat, and my extended family had a variety of dogs/cats. I volunteered walking shelter dogs in college and feel comfortable with any size/type/age. Just let me know how your pet does best on walks or for visits and I can accommodate them! I work full time during the week, but get to work from home at times and have a flexible schedule. Weekends I am free and love to be outdoors and active. My apartment does not allow pets but at home I lived with a cat and dog and am familiar with making sure they get the attention needed - playtime, always having a full water bowl, bathroom breaks or a clean litter box, fed on time and to their liking, etc.
About: Hi! I’ve been raised with dogs and puppies since I was a child and played a primary role in taking care of them. After a lifetime full of dogs, I now have a cat! I love animals and would love to take care of your pet while you’re away. I am available for pet sitting and dog walking Monday through Thursday. I am a full time photographer, so I have the flexibility in my schedule to work whenever you need. Please reach out so I can meet your furry friend! I’m a full time photographer, so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to take care of your pet. My work is generally in the evenings, so I have the entire day free. I am committed to both the safety and comfort of both you and your pet. I always request strict guidelines in advance to make sure I can do exactly what your pet needs. I interact as minimally as possible with your home, only using the space to play with your pet and nothing more.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since the day I was born! Once I didn’t have a dog of my own anymore I thought why not extend care to dogs of the city. I am a teacher and have a completely free schedule for the summer. I take quite substantial walks everyday to keep active and love to take dogs with me. I am very used to pet care even for the more stubborn of the bunch. I am very comfortable feeding, walking, crating or giving your pet medicine.
“Asha has taken care of my dogs and cat twice now and is amazing. She leaves great pictures and comments and I know my girls are happy and healthy and in good hands with her! Her communication is great; it’s so good to have your mind at ease when you’re traveling or away. Highly recommend!”
“Ann was so great with our 1 year old pup Poppy! She sent cute photos and kept me updated throughout the visit. Poppy looks forward to seeing her again!”
“Samantha is an absolute gem! Before our first appointment she came over to meet my puppy and see my place. Her attention to detail and care for my puppy was so generous! Tucker looks forward to seeing her and she gives me the most amazing updates which give me so much peace of mind. Thank goodness for Samantha! Definitely recommend her to every fur parent out there!”
“Jessie was absolutely incredible, stopping in every day for a week to play with and take care of our two cats! She gave thoughtful updates and lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Her communication was great and you can tell she’s very detailed oriented. She even let us know our smoke alarm battery was dying and we were able to contact maintenance to get it fixed while we were away. I highly recommend booking her for a reliable sitter!!”
“Five stars! Robert was amazing! Coco warmed up to him quickly- which is usually not the case. He was super responsive, on time and sent great updates, including adorable pictures of my Coco. He went beyond expectations, and I would 100% recommend. Thank you!!!”
“Ozzie has been wonderful with my dog Mia. He was the fourth person to come in for a meet and greet- my dog can be reactive to strangers but she liked Ozzie inmediately. He has been great to work with, very responsive. Would highly recommend!”
“Lily was excellent. She was very attentive and caring with our cat. She took excellent care of our home on drop in visits. She followed all directions and improvised when needed. She looked after our cat and house for two weeks and always provided great feedback. We highly recommend her.”
“Hawani was a life saver! I booked her last minute and she was able to go check on my pup. Little did she know what she was going to walk into! My escape artist got out of his cage and unfortunately pooped around my apartment. Hawani was kind enough to send me updates immediately when she got into my place. And was kind enough to clean up after him even though I told her it was okay! She was also very understanding stating she understood (as he is still a pup). Throughout her booking she kept me updated and was very thorough about taking care of him! Sent me photos and videos. She also was helpful to make sure he was fully secure in his crate as he got out before she arrived. Highly recommend! Thank you Hawani!”
“Paul took great care of our two cats while we were away. He asked good questions, made sure he knew everything he needed to, was very courteous, and made sure we got regular updates. We felt completely at ease and confident that our cats were well taken care of. I would recommend Paul to any potential clients.”
“This was our first visit away from our kitten, Nico, and I was incredibly nervous. However, Kayli took excellent care of our guy. She was incredibly communicative, gave Nico very well rounded visits (lots of snuggles, all of his favorite toys, etc.), and made sure to ask all of the right questions before our trip began. We will definitely be booking her again, Nico will miss her!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our cat. She is reliable, dependable, and clearly has a natural way with animals—our cat connected with her right away. She kept us very well informed, sending thoughtful, detailed updates and a photo so we knew exactly how our cat was doing. She fed her, played with her, and made sure everything was clean and tidy. She was also always very responsive. We felt completely comfortable knowing our cat was being so well cared for. We would happily book Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”
“Katarina is amazing , tentative, and everything Sevyn needs. I can’t express how much I value her time, consistency, trust and thoughtfulness weekly. She has been providing excellent care for Sevyn since she was 8 weeks. Here we are now 7-months and Katarina has never disappointed, flexible, accommodating, and exudes care. Sevyn is always, smiling in her pictures with Katarina. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“Maria is so thoughtful when taking care of my cat! She provides detailed, fun updates and I can tell my cat enjoys when Maria stops by. Highly highly recommend for someone reliable, timely, and great with cats!”
“Ana’s been great with our girl Chewbacca. She’s been a lifesaver when it comes to last minute bookings. Chewbacca always has a great time with her and I know she’s well taken care of.”
“First time using rover, and found Johnny. He was wonderful, and my 5 month old German shepherd x malinoi absolutely adored him, Johnny was a good listener and has such good patience. I would definitely recommend him especially for those with high energy puppies or breeds. I know my puppy had such a good time with him with all the photos i received.”

Hillary went above and beyond caring for my cat while I was away on vacation! I really appreciated how communicative and reliable she was, which made the whole experience stress-free. I felt confident my cat was in great hands and would absolutely recommend booking with her!
Yulia was amazing! She took wonderful care of Pablo and was incredibly reliable, attentive, and flexible throughout our time away. She was very responsive, followed all of our instructions carefully, and was happy to accommodate a few last-minute changes without any issue. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Pablo was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Yulia and would be very happy to have her take care of Pablo again. Thank you so much, Yulia!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Myer is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 16,309 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Myer. 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 .
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 , 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 Myer. On Rover:
- 85% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
