About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid, starting with our two family dogs, Snuggles and Peanut! Peanut was a puppy when we got her and I learned a lot about training from that experience. Both our dogs lived good long lives and required a lot of senior care near the end. I’ve also taken care of dogs and cats for friends and coworkers in the last several years when they go on vacation. I love our furry friends and being outside, something we usually have in common! I work full-time in-person Monday through Friday. I am available for pet sitting after work and can do overnight stays but would not be available during the day on weekdays. On weekends, I have a lot of availability and the longest pets would be left alone is 4-5 hours. I live in an apartment and unfortunately cannot host your pet at my home but would be thrilled to keep your furry friend company in your home! I am a very reliable and responsible person and have been at my full-time job for the last six years. My friends and coworkers trust me with their pets and know that I will communicate with them frequently and love on their pets just like they do!
“Maria is the best pet sitter we've ever had, we didn't worry about our eight year old Shih-Tzu for a second. She took excellent care of Giz and kept us informed about his bodily functions and also his antics and playfulness. We couldn't be happier with her care of our pup.”
“Leah took great care of my cat during a couple of weekend drop-in visits, including meeting him where he’s at when it comes to warming up to new people. She was also very responsive and kept me updated so that I wasn’t worried while I was out of town.”
“Paige was great. She sent good feedback about how our little one was doing while we were gone. She spent time with her and sent some great photos. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Marianne did an excellent job caring for my animals while I was away! I appreciate the prompt responses and consistent communication, and my animals are happy and healthy! I will definitely hire her again.”
About: Throughout my life, I have gained valuable qualifications as a dedicated pet lover and experienced pet owner. Being a lifetime cat owner has provided me with extensive knowledge and expertise in caring for feline companions. Additionally, I have developed the skill of administering pills to cats, ensuring their proper medication and health. Moreover, my passion for animals has led me to foster around 50 dogs, including those with disabilities. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and providing specialized care. With my diverse background in raising multiple puppies, pill administration for cats, and fostering dogs with disabilities, I bring a wealth of expertise and a deep understanding of the unique needs of pets to any situation. In my daily routine, I begin the day with the care of my three beloved cats, each with their own special dietary needs due to health issues. I meticulously prepare their meals, ensuring that their specific dietary requirements are met. Alongside their meals, I administer necessary pills to each of them, ensuring their overall well-being. After tending to my feline friends, I embark on a daily walk with my loyal and gentle 10-year-old German Shepherd, who weighs an impressive 95 pounds. This regular exercise routine not only keeps my furry companion healthy but also strengthens our bond. Throughout the day, I continue to provide attentive care to all of my pets, nurturing their individual needs with love and dedication. As a conscientious pet sitter in Virginia, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment during my hourly checkups. I diligently follow any specific care instructions provided by the pet owners, ensuring that their guidelines are strictly adhered to. I take necessary precautions to guarantee the safety of the pets by thoroughly assessing their surroundings and eliminating potential hazards. Building trust is essential, and I approach each visit with a gentle and reliable demeanor, establishing a bond of trust with the pets and their owners. Furthermore, I strive to create a comfortable environment by maintaining cleanliness, providing cozy bedding, and engaging in interactive playtime. By emphasizing safety, trust, following care instructions, and cultivating a comfortable environment, I provide exceptional care for pets in Virginia.
About: I have taken care of my family and friends pets since I was just a little kid. I've spent my life watching after a Great Dane, Golden Retriever, Pomeranian, Cavapoo, and many more. I've also spent a bunch of time with cats; feeding, playing, and giving them all the attention they could ever want. I have taken care of sick animals, walked them, cleaned after them, and done whatever has been needed of me. I am a teacher, so during the summer I am free 99% of the time. I can easily fit in pet care whenever it's needed. When the school year starts up, I will have to adjust my availability. I am able to go into anyone's house and help out. I am able to feed them, give them plenty of attention, and play with them.
“We had a great experience with Ashlee! I needed a last minute drop in for my pups and she responded promptly and kindly from beginning to end. Pleasure to work with and we will absolutely use her again!”
About: I have cared for animals for most of my life and have extensive experience providing attentive, compassionate care for pets of all ages and needs. Most recently, I raised a Carolina Dog named Jake, who passed away. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, exercising, administering basic care, and ensuring animals feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am also available to provide service weekends and holidays as needed. I'm generally available, as I currently work from home. Care instructions will be passed on customer needs and requests. You pet would have company during the day, in a safe, clean environment. I live in Dulles Station in Herndon, adjacent to a dog park and walking trails. There is also plenty of room to walk in and around my immediate neighborhood.
“Amazing experience. Rosemary is punctual, knowledgeable, and truly listens to individual dog needs. My dogs loved her right away, and she was so nurturing during her time with them. We will be booking again!”
“Allison was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of (Bluey) him, kept me updated, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the entire time. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Allison!”
About: I enjoy pet sitting and have tried to do it consistently as I can for the past 5 years. I am responsible and experienced. I have experience with domestic pets and turtles. I have a lot of experience with households with multiple dogs or a combination of pets such as cats and turtles or dogs and rabbits. I have other contract type jobs, but I really enjoy pet sitting and try to do it as much as possible. It is a consistent part of my week. I will always focus my energy on the pets in my clients home while I’m there. I will live my life on the schedule they are on to the best of my ability.
“Lydia is fantastic. She is highly professional, organized, and punctual. She documented my dog’s behavior and made sure she was well taken care of. Most importantly: my dog loved her. It is obvious that Lydia has years of experience and I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have been a dog mom to my senior dog for 15 years. I have watched friend’s dogs and have had family dogs of large to toy sizes. Your dog will have all my attention and receive lots of cuddles. I am a great communicator so you will get spammed with pics often! I work from home so I can be available at all times. If your dog needs walks throughout the day, just let me know! I am very flexible. I have a senior shih tzu who is very well mannered and used to having other dog’s company from previous roommates and I socialize her a lot.
“Riley took excellent care of our 2 dogs, 1 cat, a hedgehog and a turtle! She is a saint with my Rottweiler too! Most people we have tried to have come over are hesitant and nervous and the dog can sense that and be aggressive. She had no issues with Riley. I loved reading her detailed notes about each visit. She spent plenty of time at the house and showed love and care to all our animals. It gave us such peace of mind while we were traveling. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Ainsley quickly bonded with my cats and dog. She’s very caring and conscientious. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and knowledgeable person to care for their pets. Her rates are very reasonable and she provides exceptional service, I am planning on having her take care of my pets again at Thanksgiving! Ainsley will always be our first choice for all Rover pet sitting! She is the best!”

Katherine is a compassionate and conscientious sitter. My two dogs love seeing her and trust her. She makes an extra effort to follow instructions and to inquire with us if there are any concerns about the dogs. We have older dogs, and I had left a note about certain issues she might observe with one of the dogs. During visits, she attended to my dog with great care and monitored him closely to make sure he was fine before leaving from visits. She provides exceptional care, and we highly recommend her.
Even though she came in for a simple drop in visit as I was out of the house the whole day, she still did a phenomenal job with feeding the animals, administering my cats specific medication, and walking my dog around the neighborhood! I also have a pet toad in which she helped feed him as well:) All in all, i recommend booking her for your pets!
Lydia is fantastic. She is highly professional, organized, and punctual. She documented my dog’s behavior and made sure she was well taken care of. Most importantly: my dog loved her. It is obvious that Lydia has years of experience and I would recommend her to anyone!
Tyler is incredible! He is thorough, communicative and very patient with my extremely grouchy little dog. Tyler won my little guys heart (he allowed himself to be picked up!) within 24 hours, which is a testament to what a great dog whisperer he is. He even went the extra mile and tended to my cats while he stopped in. We are so appreciative of the care! Looking forward to next time!

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 Oak Hill 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 Oak Hill 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 .

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 Oak Hill with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
