About: Dogs have always been part of our life and are treated as a member of the family. When in our house the dogs are allowed on furniture and we will treat them as they were our dog. We welcome calls to check up on your animal while they are staying with us. We will give them plenty of attention and someone will be around in the house to make sure they are doing well. We look forward to having your animal stay will us and giving them attention while they are here. We can even send you pictures or videos while you are gone to see how they are enjoying their stay. I am retired as a special education teacher and enjoy animals. Last year I lost my dog Sammy who was 19 years old and look forward to being with dogs. Our family treats pets like part of our family. We like to spend time with them and interact in the house as well as outside.

“We had an amazing experience with Darian! She did a phenomenal job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. We felt reassured from the moment we left knowing they were in good hands. She went above and beyond—keeping us updated with photos and messages, ensuring they stuck to their routines, and showing them so much love and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared for our pups, and we returned to find them happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for better care, and we will absolutely book her again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐾”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and I actually worked as an animal groomer when I was younger. I absolutely loved it! That experience gave me the opportunity to work hands-on with dogs and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and making each animal feel safe and comfortable. I’m a working mom who loves being outdoors and staying active, so getting to spend my time walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m dependable, caring, and attentive, and I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a midday potty break and some companionship, or occasional house sitting, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. 🐾❤️ My availability is flexible and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! Monday–Thursday, I’m available for walks and drop-in visits after 2 PM. Since I work in Fairfax and live in Marshall, I’m also happy to accommodate visits along my commute when scheduling allows. Friday–Sunday, I have much more flexibility and am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and occasional house sitting. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits both your schedule and your pet’s needs. 🐾 I care for every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, routine, comfort level, and individual needs. I have always loved being active with dogs, and my own Border Collie is a huge part of our family. We enjoy going on walks together regularly, so I understand how important exercise, stimulation, and companionship are for happy, healthy dogs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. During walks and drop-ins, I’ll stay attentive to your pet and follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, leash preferences, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: your pet should feel safe, loved, and cared for, and you should feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️

I myself have a long haired dachshund and a long haired cat I currently work part time so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I do not drive due to personal reasons but I do have reliable transportation. I like to meet my clients a couple days prior to watching their pet. I would like to have a conversation making sure I understand everything correctly.

“I wanted Day to spend some time with my dogs prior to an extended dog sit. My GSD likes to jump on people who enter the house and gets very excited. Day took charge and let Mira know to get off and waited for her to calm down before proceeding. Both dogs have specific needs ranging from sensitive stomach issues to elderly care issues. Day got to spend time with the dogs while I left them alone to get acquainted. The visit went well. Dogs were snuggled up on the couch with Day upon my return.”

About: Hi, I’m Kiana! 🐶💛 I’m a dedicated pet lover who genuinely enjoys caring for dogs and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow their individual routines, dietary needs, and any special quirks that make them unique. I’m a personal trainer and Pilates instructor with a flexible schedule, which allows me to check in on dogs throughout the day during breaks and spend quality time with them between my sessions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member with someone you trust. I’ll follow your instructions closely and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe, and right at home while you’re gone. I’d love to connect and learn more about your pup! 💛 I’m usually up early for the gym, so I’m comfortable with early-morning walks and care. I’m also available on weekends, when I enjoy taking long nature walks and would be happy to bring your dog along if they enjoy outdoor adventures. I live in a very spacious apartment with a balcony. I do not have any kids, so my environment is dog friendly! I am typically always home, so extra care and safety will be provided for your furry baby. I am now accepting only one dog at a time so that I may provide the best experience for your Furry Babby 🐾🐾🐾

About: I use Reiki and massage when animals and their humans are accepting of it. My rates are built to service a wider geographical area. Please ask about lower rates for care needed close to my home, or other existing clients. I grew up with many cats (over many years), and a dog. We had several dogs in the neighborhood I would help and visit with, and have experience with horses and other animals of air, land and sea. I’ve been caring for dogs, cats and horses professionally for a little over three decades. I am self-employed and make my own schedule, so I’m busy, but flexible with enough notice or if there is a gap in my schedule. I have a big and friendly dog of my own who would want to stay with me if you require overnight dog or cat sitting, depending on how far you are from our home. My end-unit townhome backs up to the retention pond. I can see the walking trail that backs up to the forest from my deck. My small, fenced-in backyard opens up to a wheelchair accessible paver path. So ideal for older pets who need less/no stairs. I’ve cared for many elderly animals.

Julie was great with our two dogs. She went slow with our newest shelter pup who is not very people friendly. She did a wonderful job with both dogs. Will definitely use her again to take care of my exuberant black lab and my skittish cockapoo.

Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. 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.

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.

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.
