About: We would love to take care of your small hypo-allergenic dog for you while you are away. Our shih-tzu, Snuffy, is great with other dogs and has plenty of toys to share. Your dog will enjoy a minimum of two longer walks per day and two additional shorter potty breaks. We will text you photos of your dogs in action or lounging. Your dog will not be left alone for long. I work mostly from home. I have two boys, ages 15 and 18 who are very responsible and help with the care of your dog. Our dog sleeps wherever he wants, and so can your dog. We have a fenced in backyard, but we supervise the dogs while they are in the backyard because we have a pool. We have four of us living and working at home who are available to feed, walk, and entertain your dog. We feed the dogs in the morning and in the evening. We have tons of dog toys and a fenced in back yard for potty breaks. Since we already have two dogs, our home is dog proof. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and our dogs share their toys. We send pictures every day with updates.
“Pamela is absolutely wonderful!! The pups absolutely love her, she is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell she really cares about animals. She went above and beyond to make sure the pups were well taken care of, we have three with one recovering from major surgery so no small task!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since I was 10 years old and currently have a 7-year-old English Bulldog of my own! I’m comfortable with training commands, administering medications, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and temperament. I also work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I understand that every pet has different needs and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Animals tend to gravitate toward me for extra pets and cuddles, which is easily my favorite part! I work remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles while keeping their daily routines as consistent and comfortable as possible! I am very adaptable to your pet’s needs! As a longtime pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, respectful of their boundaries, and committed to following their usual routines and any special care instructions. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home! And of course great communication with owners of any issues or abnormalities.
“Jane was terrific. She walked and fed Ridley for 12 days while I was away. I returned to a very content dog. Even neighbors commented noted how good she seemed to be with him. I'd highly recommend her.”
About: Only one Guest Dog at a time. All the love and attention they deserve. Dynamic father and son duo, Michael & Michael! We are experienced pet caretakers and genuine dog lover. We are knowledgeable in dog walking, feeding, nutrition, teeth brushing, and other routine care, and can handle dogs of all sizes, with a specialization in doodles. Most importantly, we focus on the dog’s emotional well-being and would take time to understand each dog’s individual needs, respecting their own routines and boundaries. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to devote plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. From regular walks and playtime to meals, rest, and companionship, I make sure each dog’s needs are thoughtfully incorporated into my day. My son-in-law Michael would provide back-up support. We have a spacious townhome with a fully fenced backyard and a big deck for dogs to play and live in. We have thoughtfully designed our home to divide it into different sections for our dog Max’s needs: a feeding area, a day-time sleeping area, a play area, as well as a window watching area. Any pup we welcome into our home will join Max and have a safe, fun, and relaxing time. For drop in visits in our client’s home, I will be ultra respectful to the client’s space, accurately following instructions. I will also prioritize maintaining the dogs’ familiar routines.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McLean
Amanda did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs while we were gone for a few days! They were clearly very happy when we got home and she kept us posted with lots of cute pictures while we were gone. She even left them some treats and made sure their things were tidy on her last visit. We would 100% have her care for them again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone else, and everything went perfectly. He followed all our instructions, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our dogs. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!
This is the third time we have booked Amber for drop-in visits. She is an excellent pet sitter. Our dog is nervous around strangers. Amber has made him feel at ease and he looks forward to seeing her. She communicates frequently and always sends photos. We very much appreciate Amber and will definitely book her again.
Sarah is exactly who you want to look after your beloved pets when you need help! The dogs love her and enjoyed play and cuddle time with her. Sarah stayed much longer than expected and went out of her way to make our babies happy. We can't recommend her enough, thank you!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in McLean is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $36 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 15,567 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across McLean. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.

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 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.
