“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Antoinette was AMAZING with my dog Rocky while I was on vacation and I highly recommend her. I found her thru Rover. She came to my house before I left to meet Rocky and to go over everything. My dog has skin allergies which he takes medication for so she gave him meds overnight. Rocky was a little upset the first day she watched him and didn’t want to eat. I had never left him before. She contacted me immediately and we came up with a plan and it worked. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day of Rocky which I appreciated. I will use her again in the future.”
“Katie is simply the best. She sent us pictures everyday on our trip, and took amazing care of our pup! We are forever grateful for her and her kindness and care for the dog. We can’t wait to have her dog-sit again!”
“We’ve had such a great experience with Alex for the second time! She takes wonderful care of Maxwell, has excellent communication, and always goes above and beyond to accommodate us. We really appreciate how reliable, thoughtful, and attentive she is. Highly recommend her!!”
“Emily was wonderful with my pug puppy, Peaches! She watched her for the weekend, and I felt at ease knowing she was in great hands. Emily was communicative, prompt, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Would definitely book again!”
“Kathleen looked after our dog Luna for 3 nights and did a fantastic job. I get a little nervous about leaving Luna on trips, but Kathleen's updates, photos and videos erased those worries. Luna had a lot of fun and was in great hands. Highly recommended!!”
“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”
About: Note: I live in downtown Baltimore but work in Arlington, VA so housesits in DC/Virginia are ideal. Hi! I’m Serena, a dependable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes. I grew up in a home full of cats and 1 dog and was a proud cat owner for many years. Since then, caring for other people’s pets has become something I truly enjoy. Friends, neighbors, and travelers regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I always work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment. My clients often tell me they appreciate my communication while they’re away. I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident they’re in good hands. Outside of pet sitting, I’m an avid gardener with over 30 indoor plants and a vegetable garden. Because of this, I’m also very comfortable caring for plants and maintaining a home while you’re traveling. At the moment, I am available full-time some weekdays during the day as well as some weekends. Please send me your dates, and I will check my calendar. My Care Style My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During visits I focus on: • feeding and fresh water • litter box or bathroom breaks • playtime and attention • monitoring behavior and wellbeing • maintaining routines your pet is used to I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away.

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where animals can relax and feel secure.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lansdowne
Kathryn was great taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats at our house, which can be a handful. We really appreciated pictures & communications that were sent while we were away. The animals seemed very calm and relaxed upon our return. I would highly recommend her for pet care.
Rubi met my cat Finn twice before taking him into her care for just over two weeks. She was very communicative and I could tell they bonded instantly. Any time I was worried while I was away, Rubi was quick to send photos and updates of Finn that put me at ease. Rubi is the only person I'll trust with Finn’s care going forward! 😊
Jamie was awesome! She stayed in our home to pet sit while we were out of town for a few days, and it worked really well. She is enthusiastic and her love for animals is obvious. Our animals look calm and happy and she left everything neat as a pin. She is also super responsive with messaging. I definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!
Kellyn was a dream with taking care of our boys and our home during a 2 week trip. Kellyn communicated well, met their needs, and adapted to their quirks. There was total peace-of-mind while we were gone. And we cannot forget that Dumpling is now Ziggy’s best friend! We’re just sad we weren’t there to see that friendship blossom. Thank you Kellyn and Dumpling! ☺️
I can’t recommend Joey enough, he did an incredible job watching our dog and cat for an entire week while we were away. He took the best care of our animals, and gave us plenty of updates and pictures! There was never a single second we worried while being away - he treated our animals as if they were his own. Thank you so much again!

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 Lansdowne 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 Lansdowne 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 Lansdowne 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!

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.
