About: Three dogs, three personalities, three very different experiences. I’ve raised and cared for three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood: Nova, an American Cocker Spaniel, Ansel, a Rottweiler, and Coco, a Chocolate Lab. That experience has taught me how to work with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, temperaments, and needs. I know every pup is different, and I believe their care should be too. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. Although I have a regular job, pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I’m available during my off-hours for walks and drop-in visits, allowing me to give your pup quality time and attention while you’re away. I value reliability, consistency, and making every visit a positive experience for your dog. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own three dogs. I make sure my dogs get regular exercise, playtime, attention, mental stimulation, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I also pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs. When caring for your pet, I’ll follow their normal routine and your instructions closely, prioritize their safety, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: If I’m lucky enough to take care of your dog for a little while, I want you to know I’ll look out for them like my own! I have two cats myself (one is a cute little blind nugget), but I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have worked as a dog groomer and sitter. I can’t have dogs of my own at the moment, and will take care of your pup as if they were my own! I’m currently working from home and teach kids dance part time. I have lots of free time to take your dog on walks, or check in. When I’m boarding dogs at my home or having them for day care, they have a great yard to run around in and I’ll take them for walks in my neighborhood. They’ll get lots of love from me while I’m working at home :)

About: I've been an animal lover ever since I was a little girl. Animals have always loved me and can feel how much I love them instantly! I've had multiple pets in my life: birds and cats. I've been around dogs a lot and take care of my neighbors big Pitbull mix dog all the time. The size of the animal does not stop me from loving them and giving them the best time with me. I don't just pet the dogs, I actually play with them. Run around, fetch, walk them and making sure they get water during/after playtime. I am currently a stay at home mom with a reliable vehicle. I am available most of the day since my kid is in school. I am even available on most weekends and even week day evenings (after school) if needed! My main goal is to make sure that your pet(s) feel loved and cared for while you are gone! I will make sure they have the best time, feel safe, and comfortable while you are away. This includes making sure any mess that was made during your leave will be taken care of as well!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fort Washington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Washington is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 14,826 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Washington. 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 Washington. On Rover:

  • 84% 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.
