Finlay is excellent - she took lots of time to make sure my cats were well cared for and took care of small things around the house that completely slipped my mind. (Like putting our forgotten bananas in the freezer)

About: Note: Be sure to check my calendar for availability before booking. Thanks! I adopted my Puerto Rican rescue named Leo in 2019 and he has completely changed my life. He can be reactive on walks and is a super anxious boy in general so I have experience managing nervous dogs. Leo has taught me to see every dog as a cherished family member and loyal companion. When I meet a dog, I want to make them feel as loved and special as they make us feel everyday. My goal is to spend as much time as possible with dogs and I would love to meet yours! I know how exhausting it can be to work and meet your pets needs, and I would love to give you some peace of mind knowing they’ve gotten attention, love, and exercise while you’re busy. I am a student home for the summer and am free until September, but am taking a couple of weekends away so make sure to check my calendar. I am open to spending time with your dog in your home during the day and stay overnight for up to a week. I can do mealtimes and take walks/backyard playtime. And of course, will include endless cuddles.

Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!

About: I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them! We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice I live in an apartment with ample walking nearby. Super dog friendly neighborhood. We have space to set up crates if needed. I am a neat person and will clean up after myself and the dogs.

Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!

Highly, highly, highly recommend working with Roshni! Roshni is AMAZING. We could not have asked for more from a sitter-she was incredibly communicative and gave detailed reports on how "the kids" were doing. Right away, I felt like we really connected on care concerns, and she asked wonderful follow up questions to unsure their needs were met. One of our cats is very tempestuous, and he does not take kindly to anyone. She gave him his space, but still reported on his interactions! Roshni was also dependable not only for time, but checking on a house concern we had, and reporting back to us as soon as she could while she was at the house. Definitely regulars for as long as Roshni will have us! :)

About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole entire life. I have dog-watched for neighbors since I was about 12 years old. I am very loving towards animals and am skilled in washing and walking them. There is nothing better than getting to hang out with animals as they provide an unmatched love in our lives. I currently own two disabled dogs so I like to think no challenge is too big or too small. I enjoy dogs and cats of all sizes. I am very good with time management so I plan to work with you to make sure your pet is getting the best attention while you are away from home. I appreciate your time in considering me for the jobs! I work a remote 9-5 so most evenings I am open but I am willing to schedule something out between work and your pet if you need me mid day I listen to the energy the animal is giving off. I try my best to clear myself of negative feelings and stress so the animals feel more at ease amongst my presence

About: I only host 1–2 dogs at a time, so your dog gets a calm, low-stress stay—not a crowded environment like other daycare or boarding facilities/Rover homes. Hi! I’ve had 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog from puppyhood through his senior years, so I truly understand the patience, attention, and love dogs need at every stage of life. I now offer care on Rover and treat every dog as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I love spending time with your pets. I enjoy outdoor so I like walking the dogs outside as well. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible daily. Looking for a safe, comfortable place for your dog while you’re busy or away? 🐾 I offer both dog boarding and daycare in a spacious, home-based environment where your pup can play, relax, and feel at ease. With personalized care, plenty playtime, and lots of attention, your precious is treated like family. Whether it’s for the day or an extended stay, your furry friend will be in a clean, secure, and loving space. 🐶 Message me to learn more or book your dog’s spot!

About: I have over 15 years of pet-sitting experience, 2 years working in a boarding facility, and I’m currently employed at an emergency veterinary hospital. My background gives me a solid foundation in recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and I’m trained in basic emergency protocols (non-technician level). I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages—from crazy puppies to wise seniors—as well as administering oral medications, following specialized diets, and accommodating medical restrictions. I do ask that owners reach out in advance to discuss any medical needs, as I won’t perform care I’m not 100% confident in. I’ve worked with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or timid pups, and I have one of my own! My goal is to provide calm, capable, and compassionate care so both you and your pet feel safe and supported. :) While I currently work full-time and attend school part-time, I have open availability from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM on Tuesdays through Thursdays. On Fridays, I’m available after 1:30 PM. I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs and will always do my best to accommodate you and your pet’s routine! I’ve always been an animal lover—definitely more of an “animal person” than a “people person.” That passion led me into the veterinary field, where I’ve gained a strong foundation in animal care and safety. During drop-in visits and walks, my focus is on keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and safe in their familiar environment. I know being away from their people can be stressful, so I will do my very best to provide companionship, play, and plenty of reassurance. I'm attentive to each pet’s energy level and personality, and I always respect their boundaries. I’m also experienced in reading canine body language, which helps me provide a positive and low-stress experience on every visit. I love sharing updates, so you can expect regular photos, videos, and even a FaceTime call if you'd like! I keep my schedule manageable to ensure your pet gets the dedicated time and care they deserve.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and active pet sitter who treats every pet like they’re my own. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member with someone you trust, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their routine and energy level. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away, so you’ll always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pet the love and attention they deserve! Hi, I’m Claire! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and being around them has always come naturally to me. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m an active person, so I’m always happy to go on walks, play outside, or keep energetic dogs entertained. At the same time, I know that some pets just want a calm, comforting presence, and I’m just as happy spending time cuddling on the couch or sticking to their normal routine. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so communication is really important to me. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet with the same care and patience I’d want for my own, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I have a fenced in backyard and no other pets in my house. I usually fall in love with all of the pets I see so you definetely won't have to worry about your pet leaving my attention while with me.

About: Raised by a Bichon! Long walks, lots of fetch, and endless cuddles are my love language. I know what it takes to care for high-maintenance dogs with the right instructions — and I’m here to give your dog the same TLC when you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and live near the area. I love spending my time with animals, I enjoy going on walks as much as the doggos haha I live in an apartment right next to a doggy park and some areas with grass which is great for walks! I do not live with a pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in McLean on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 15,916 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across McLean. 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 McLean 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.

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 McLean 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in McLean with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 89% 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.

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.
