“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.”
About: I have been walking/caring for dogs and cats in my own home as long as I can remember and started taking care of other people's pets back in high school! Before deciding on human medicine, I wanted to be a veterinarian for the longest time and just love animals! My day-to-day is super variable and flexible, and I can adjust my study schedule to your needs! Additionally, I am comfortable with last-minute scheduling. I live in an apartment with my one cat currently, so coming to your home is more likely to be convenient for us both! I do not have my own vehicle but am an avid user of public transport and my own two feet!

We have three dogs, and she did an amazing job with all of them. Highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myer
Carrie was great with my two cats! Super communicative, punctual, and thoughtful about how she approached their care. They immediately came up to her for pets during our meet and greet (which doesn’t always happen with new people), and overall was just great to work with. I am looking forward to booking her again in the future. Thanks again!
Had a wonderful experience with Julia watching my dog. She was punctual, communicative, and sent lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by washing some washable pee pads before she left. She was respectful, considerate, and easy to work with from start to finish.
Kate did an amazing job taking care of my very high maintenance cat! She spent a lot of time playing with her and sent lots of pictures. She also checked in with me to make sure my cat’s behavior and runny eye were normal/healthy, which I appreciated so much. It was clear Kate really cared about my cat’s wellbeing and I truly can’t thank her enough!
Kelsey is my go-to cat caregiver. She communicates frequently, letting me know the important information about my cat’s health while I’m away. She is responsible and respectful of my home. She gives my cat the affection he enjoys. He is now so completely comfortable with her that she is allowed to rub his belly. Her photo montages always show great cuddle time, which is important to me that my cat receives while I’m away. Thank you Kelsey!
Bo is an excellent sitter who took lovely care of our cats. She is timely, communicative, and responsible, and followed all of our care instructions and requests closely. She made sure our cats are fed, hydrated, exercised, and given plenty of pets at each visit. She also made sure the litter box and surrounding area were clean at the end of each visit. We are grateful to Bo.
Hannah does such a great job caring for my kitties when I am away, winning over my super shy kitty and giving my rambunctious kitty his medication and play time. When my building elevator was out, Hannah took initiative to find an alternative way in, which was a huge relief from afar. Thank you!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fort Myer on Rover is $24 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 16,572 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Myer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Myer stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Myer. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
