“We could not have asked for anyone better than Makiah to watch our dog while out of the country for over a week. She was amazing! She kept us updated daily on how he was doing and was so respectful of our home environment. She made us feel so comfortable. We came back home to a happy dog and a clean and tidy home. We will definitely be booking with her for the future!”

“Ashley was amazing with our two dogs, five cats, and parrot over Christmas! She took amazing care of the whole rambunctious zoo and was incredible with communicating any issues. She even probably saved our pipes from freezing on a cold front! Couldn't recommend her more--100/10!”

“Enih was absolutely FANTASTIC during her stay in my home where she cared for my dog for 9 days — I honestly can not recommend her enough, and will always be booking with her from here on out! Prior to finding her, I had a horrible, traumatizing experience with the last person I used on Rover. I was so nervous to use Rover again, and left Enih a million instructions. She was so patient and so kind, and was good about doing everything I had asked of her every single day! She tracked her walks, took Alto to the park, and gave me thorough updates. He is a GIANT dog, and can be quite a handful—but she handled everything like a pro. She was very respectful of my stuff and left my home exactly how it was when I left! If you’re looking for a trustworthy girl who can handle any dog, and who treats them with tons of care and love, then Enih is your girl. Thanks again for everything, Enih!”

One of our cats is shy around strangers and Melissa made sure to bring her food closer to her hiding spot to make her more comfortable. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our babies were well cared for.”

About: Hi, I’m Sanyika! I offer thoughtful overnight and extended-stay care for pet parents who want their animals to remain comfortable in their own home and maintain the routines they already know. I’m a longtime homeowner, experienced house sitter and devoted cat parent to Cali and Mari. I have cared for cats and well-mannered dogs in homes ranging from small studios to large estates, with house-sitting experience throughout the United States and abroad. I work remotely as a wellness and relationship coach, which makes me especially well suited for pets who enjoy companionship and having someone present throughout the day. While I do have scheduled calls and occasional time away from the home, I am not rushing between multiple households or spending the entire day on a walking route. My approach is warm, calm and consistent. I respect each animal’s personality, follow the household routine closely and allow pets to warm up to me at their own pace. I also understand that caring for someone’s pets means caring for their home. I keep spaces tidy, bring in mail and packages, manage trash and recycling, water plants when requested and communicate clearly throughout the stay. For additional peace of mind, I hold an active federal Secret security clearance and understand the importance of discretion, reliability and respecting someone’s private space. My best matches are independent cats and small-to-medium, leash-trained dogs with established routines. I especially enjoy longer assignments that allow me to settle into a neighborhood, work, walk to coffee or yoga, explore a little and come home to keep someone’s pets company. Namaste Home while you’re away. 🐾🏡 I work remotely and can usually spend a substantial portion of the day in the home. My work includes scheduled video calls, so reliable Wi-Fi and a reasonably quiet place to work are important. I build feeding, walks, playtime and companionship around the pet’s established routine. I may occasionally leave for errands, yoga, meals or local activities, so I am best matched with pets who can comfortably be left alone for four to eight hours when necessary. Before accepting a booking, I confirm the exact schedule, how long each pet may be left alone and whether there are any dates when my work commitments could affect the routine. Every new household begins with a virtual Meet & Greet. I want to understand your pets’ personalities, daily routines, walking equipment, feeding instructions, sleeping arrangements and any household details that will help the stay run smoothly. Before you leave, when schedules allow, we will meet in person for a brief conversation where I ask that we confirm: • Feeding and walking routines • Veterinary and emergency contacts • Medications or health concerns • Behavioral triggers and escape risks • Alarm, key and entry instructions • Wi-Fi and workspace information • Household and sleeping expectations • Communication and photo-update preferences During the stay, I provide dependable updates and photographs so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe and comfortable. I promptly communicate anything unusual rather than waiting for a small concern to become a larger one. I do not take pets anywhere that has not been approved or change an established routine without permission. I treat your home as a private space and leave it tidy, secure and ready to welcome you back.

“Chandler is truly one of a kind, and I cannot recommend her enough. Leaving your puppy with someone else can be nerve-wracking, but from the moment I connected with her, I knew my pup was in the best hands possible. She went above and beyond in every way, constant updates, adorable pictures, and clear communication that gave me complete peace of mind. It wasn’t just “watching” my puppy… she genuinely cared for and loved him like he was her own. You can tell she has a natural connection with animals, and my puppy absolutely adored her. When I came back, my pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of, which says everything. Chandler is reliable, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely, she’s it. I would give her 10 stars if I could!”

“Keisha saved our Christmas plans! When our sitter canceled last minute, it was such a relief when Keisha was so willing to do a same-day meet and greet, and stay with my elderly dog for the week of Christmas. She was responsive the whole time, and we returned to a happy dog and clean house. She even treated Marley to a Christmas present, which was so sweet!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Joint Base Andrews

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Joint Base Andrews is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $60 per night. 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 9,830 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Joint Base Andrews. 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 Joint Base Andrews 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 Joint Base Andrews 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Joint Base Andrews 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 , 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 .

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Joint Base Andrews. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
