“Danielle was great! Our pups instantly connected with her and were more well behaved for her then they are for us 😅 Truly appreciate her for helping us out last minute and the pups look forward to their next walk with her.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have 6 years of experience making sure pets stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. I have a ton of energy for long walks, park trips, and playing fetch for high-energy dogs, but I also can be calm and relaxed for senior dogs. Because I study at home, my schedule is very flexible, which is perfect for house-sitting! I can spend the majority of my day at your home, ensuring your pet is never left alone for long periods. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and on weekends, and I make it a priority to stick to your pet's specific walking and feeding routine so their day feels totally normal while you're away. I take the responsibility of staying in your home very seriously. I am extremely diligent about home security—always double-checking that doors and windows are locked and that your pet is secure before I step out. I pride myself on leaving your home exactly as I found it (or cleaner!). I’m also a very frequent communicator; I love sending daily photo updates and quick 'check-ins' so you never have to wonder how things are going.
“Kelly was really great with our kitties and I felt at ease knowing she was stopping in every morning while we were gone! I love the photos and daily report on them!”
About: My first pets were 2 rats. I took care of them exclusively, bathed them, fed and cleaned up after them. The family cat Simba was mainly my responsibility with occasional help from family, and I would take care of our family dog Bentley when I was home for summers from college. I've helped care for several other animals when babysitting children, and occasionally dog sat overnight for other families over a 3 day weekend period. I've also loved my time volunteering at the local dog shelter where I walk, clean up after, and play with all the dogs up for adoption until they find their forever families. Also enjoyed a 6 week program at a dog shelter in Athens, Greece in 2024! I’m in town for the next six weeks with open availability! I’d love to work as much as possible and give your fur baby anything they might need. I care for all pets as if they were my own, making sure they have all the attention and care they need and then some.
“Marjorie was absolutely amazing! She is highly responsive and took the extra time to patiently befriend my skittish kitty. She also made sure to play with my other kitty during every visit and even watered my outside plants as an extra bonus. I highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in. We also have a beautiful nature trail right behind our neighborhood. I love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting/loving on your dog. I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.
“Alex, It was so nice to know someone who like’s to spend time with dogs was checking on ours. I am hoping you are interested in helping us out again. I don’t know the dates yet but will be for a weekend in Oct. I will get back to you. I am also trying to figure out how to send you a tip. I am not so good at this tech stuff. Thanks again, Tina”
“Isabella took wonderful care of our Lab and Pomeranian. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated while we were away. She was also able to help us on short notice, which we were incredibly grateful for. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We would definitely book with her again! 🐾”
“Isabel was a life-saver! We booked very last minute, but she took great care of our pups while we were out of town. She followed our instructions perfectly and the dogs seemed very happy with her. Highly recommend!!”
“If I could do a 10* I absolutely would. She took such great care of our boys and sent us the most adorable photos while we were gone. Alleviated all sense of worry I had before. Thank you for going above and beyond I appreciate it so much!”
“I cannot praise Lily enough for the wonderful care she provided for our pets Maggie, Molly, and Tilly while my wife and I were out of state. Despite Maggie’s challenges with house training due to her age, Lily was incredibly patient and understanding. She went above and beyond in her duties, ensuring our pets were comfortable and well cared for. Her communication was excellent throughout the weekend, making us feel reassured that our beloved animals were in the best hands. Thank you, Lily, for your dedication and kindness. Highly recommended!”
About: I have been house sitting for 25 years along with house cleaning. Since I have retired from cleaning houses I now have more time to house sit. I have always loved animals and they love me dearly. All the dogs and cats are always so loving and I love to spend that with them. I follow the instructions of the owner. I make sure that your fur babies take the medicine required and eat when they are suppose to. I also take the dogs for walk unless you just let them out back in the fenced back yard.
About: Thank you for visiting my profile. I've been around dogs for most of my life and know that pets are and important part of the family. It's my priority to make you comfortable about trusting me with your pet(s). I'm caring, dependable, energetic, and look forward to taking care of your family member! I keep my availability up to date on the calendar. I'm available for short or extended visits and walks in the evenings and on weekends. No breed preferences. I'm open to taking walks or going for a run on nearby trails or sidewalks depending on your dog's ability and/or energy level.
“Laurie was excellent! She was very sensitive to my cat since it was the first time she watched Ava. Laurie was respectful of Ava’s boundaries and made it easier for Ava to warm up to her. I will most definitely hire Laurie again.”

Alexandra was amazing with our very nervous dog. She went above and beyond ensuring he felt comfortable and well taken care of. It was fantastic getting updates every drop in with how he was doing and pictures. I would recommend her whole heartedly for anyone with nervous or medically complex animals. I can’t stress enough how wonderful she was for our dog and us.
Marjorie was absolutely amazing! She is highly responsive and took the extra time to patiently befriend my skittish kitty. She also made sure to play with my other kitty during every visit and even watered my outside plants as an extra bonus. I highly recommend her!
Isabella took wonderful care of our Lab and Pomeranian. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated while we were away. She was also able to help us on short notice, which we were incredibly grateful for. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We would definitely book with her again! 🐾
Addy was perfect! She was available last minute over the Christmas holiday, thank goodness. She took great care of our large lab and small corgi. They looked very happy in their check-in pictures. Addy followed our instructions to a T, was on time, and communicated very well. We look forward to using her services in the future. I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Haymarket on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 12,517 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Haymarket. 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 Haymarket 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 Haymarket. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
