“Vita was very professional and courteous. She went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were taken care of. Would 100% recommend for a home visit, especially for dogs that require a little extra care and attention.”
“Katie was so awesome taking care of Cooper and Sophie! She took our request on the day before we had to leave and she was so easy to work with. She put a normally anxious dog dad at peace immediately with how she was able to easily befriend both of our dogs and was instantly chilling with both of them. She was right on time, the pics of the dogs were comforting, and the dogs both looked happy and at peace. I recommend her for anyone that’s looking to have their dogs watched and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
“Grace did a very good job of feeding and playing with our cat and giving him affection. Our cat is very fond of her so we felt completely reassured that our cat was happy when we were gone.”
“Courtney did a great job taking care of my cat, Meghan, during my week-long trip! Meghan is usually scared of strangers, but Courtney quickly gained her trust, kept her active with her favorite toys, and even got her comfortable enough to be petted! Courtney kept me updated on how Meghan was doing throughout my trip, which gave me great peace of mind. When I returned, I found everything in perfect order, and it was clear that Courtney had carefully followed all of my detailed instructions. I would definitely recommend Courtney to any pet parent looking for someone caring, attentive, and trustworthy! :)”
“This was our first time working with a pet sitter and Corinne was great! Our cat enjoyed the cuddles and getting to stay home instead of boarding. Would definitely recommend!”
“Brianna was a wonderful sitter from start to finish. She communicated clearly and often, sending updates so I never had to wonder how things were going. She followed all of my instructions carefully and paid attention to the details that matter for my fur baby. She was kind and gentle with my cat, and my nervous, shy cat took to her right away. It was clear my cat felt safe and comfortable in her care, which meant everything to me while I was away. I came home to a happy, healthy kitty and a well-kept home. I would absolutely book Brianna again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Sun was wonderful with Morty! they sent me a bunch of photos while i was away, left great notes, and were super personable & pleasant to work with. definitely felt like my guy was in great hands with them and will be re-booking for future trips!”
“Naya was wonderful with checking in on my cats over the holiday. Extremely communicative about everything from her schedule, to how the cats were doing each day, their food/water/litter, etc. It made me feel so comfortable knowing she was watching them and helped me have a great vacation!”
About: I am certified in pet CPR and have completed in 1 year of pre-vet education in high school. I know how to do basic dog training. I am a full time college student so I have a pretty flexible schedule after 12pm on weekdays. For weekends I’m available at anytime. I can do 45-1hr of walking and playing fetch. I’ll make sure your dog gets clean water and gets fed the time you need me to.
“Dominique did a wonderful job caring for our senior dog Roman and our three cats while we were away. She spent lots of time giving the animals love and sent great check-ins during the trip. She was very attentive to our instructions as well!”
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.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since / was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets... I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm... Small apartment but plenty of walkable parks nearby. Friendly fur companions to keep your baby company! Lots of treats and a loving home away from home
“Micki was great with our little ones. Romero and Dulce were in good hands and we felts worry free during our time away. We loved the updates with pics and even videos. Thank you”
About: New Customer Discount Code: kylat35017 *Teacher Hours: Friday drop-off availability is after 3pm. However, please contact me if you are open to working something out beyond those hours (crate-ing, early morning drop-offs, etc.)! Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter with a 5-star rating on Rover. I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog like family, and that’s exactly how I approach every visit. Having loved and cared for my own dog for many years, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s overnight boarding, drop-in visits, or walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and personalized care while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re apart. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making both you and your pup feel at ease. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and giving them the care they deserve! As a teacher, my schedule reflects my summer availability. I plan to be available all throughout the summer but if anything changes my schedule will be updated promptly! My apartment is extremely dog-friendly and I am fortunate enough to have a decent sized patio for late night/early morning potty breaks or just basking in the sun. I am also a short distance to Patterson Park, perfect for long walks. I have fostered dogs from BARCS in the past as well as watched my friends dogs and I cannot help but treat them like the babies they are. I have no shame in showering every dog with all the compliments. I am diligent in how I let dogs interact while making sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I also have experience with administering medication orally as well as ear drops.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mount Vernon is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 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 6,511 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mount Vernon. 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mount Vernon. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
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.
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.
