“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Deloris! She took such great care of Holly and our home, and from day one her communication made everything so easy and stress-free.”
“Alayza gave us peace of mind, which is always our top priority. She was punctual and friendly, and our pets immediately took to her. We certainly recommend her services.”
“Michaela stayed with our Lab for three days, and she was wonderful all around. She was prompt and extremely communicative (and shared lots of pics). She walked our dog frequently, and when he created a couple of issues (ha), she handled it great, kept us in the loop, and went above and beyond with cleaning up (laundry, dishes, etc) and generally left the place looking nicer than before she arrived : ). I would absolutely recommend Michaela!”
“Very responsive, asks good questions and is flexible and very loving to my senior babies. My normally kiddish pup immediately engaged with her and was at ease. Thank you so much for caring for my babes!”
“Ada was amazing!! This was my first time using the App and she made me feel so comfortable. She agreed to a meet and greet prior to my house sitting dates and my dogs loved her instantly. She was very communicative and kept me informed on everything. As this was my first time leaving my babies with anyone outside of family, we were all a bit nervous and hoping this was a good match. My mom even checked in with Ada and she was totally cool with. My mom and dog both have dogs and we are pretty certain Ada has 3 new clients. Ada maintained my home wonderfully. She really was patient with and understanding and I would recommend her 10/10, especially for new clients.”
“Erica took great care of our dog and two cats for a weekend. She arrived early in the morning on the day we left to make sure they ate on time, and made sure to allow time to feed them and take the dog for a walk before she had to leave for work on the final morning. She was responsive, sent regular updates, and left the house tidy. It was great to have a reliable sitter!”
“This was our second time being lucky enough to have Lindsey stay in our home and take care of our dog Kona and it was wonderful. She provided plenty of updates, expertly dealt with Kona’s little quirks, and left our house in great shape. Thank you for everything!!!”
“Jeannie is wonderful. She always provides great communication and pays attention to detail. Thank you Jeannie for putting me at ease when I have to leave my babies ❤️”
“Aiyana is superb. She’s able to accommodate a tough schedule (multiple potty breaks a day) for one of my dogs who was on medications. I was nervous having to leave them for a week but everything went well. She also left the place very clean. Highly recommend.”
“Niani took exceptional care of our two pups and home. She was patient with our anxious girl and handled medications with no issues. Highly recommend her! She’ll be at the top of our list for future trips!”
About: Let us know your pet’s eating habits/preferences and if your dog has any special needs or behaviors we should account for. We also love to know what commands your dog knows so we can speak their language and help enforce whatever training you are working/have worked on. I'm currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! For boarding, I am available during the week and weekends. During a typical day, I love taking the dogs around the neighborhood to let them explore new smells and get their exercise. I'll also let them play in the fenced backyard. If you're comfortable with it, I'm more than happy to make visits to the dog park too, where they can have a blast. For more relaxed dogs or on days with bad weather, we can enjoy indoor activities like playing fetch, engaging in tug-of-war, and having cozy cuddle sessions with the pets.
“Karima took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and was very professional. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Karima again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.”
“I would highly recommend Jess. She comes with a big smile in her face even if is a nasty raining day. She was affectionate towards my little puppy and super responsive to my messages while I was away from home. She sent pictures and let me know everything was going on with my dog. On top of that, she took an AMAZING care of my place. I got home and everything was pristine and clean. I would love to keep working with her.”
“Randy watched my pup at my place, and I highly recommend him! My dog is anxious and sometimes goes on hunger strikes while I’m away, and Randy was watchful of him to make sure he was eating. Randy was communicative with several rounds of photos throughout each day, and he was respectful of my home while staying with my pup. Great experience!”
About: Leaving your pet with someone else is a big deal — you want to know they're safe, loved, and in good hands. That's what I'm here for. I've been around animals my whole life, from my own pets growing up to regularly caring for friends' cats/pups as an adult, plus 3 years of pet sitting through Trusted Housesitters. I'm used to stepping into a pet's routine and making sure they feel comfortable the whole time their people are away. Right now isn't the right time for me to have a pet of my own, so caring for yours is something I genuinely look forward to. I have a real soft spot for older dogs, but I'm just as happy with energetic pups who need to burn off steam. Whatever your pet needs — a long walk, medication assistance, a game of fetch, zoomies release or just some couch time — I'll meet them where they are. If you're looking for someone who'll treat your pet like their own, I'd love to meet you both! I work full time from home, which means I'm around and flexible throughout the day — not tied to a 9-to-5 that keeps me away for long stretches. I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or playtime between meetings, and I'm also open to house sitting or overnight stays when needed. Because I'm home so often, I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings too. When in your home, your pet's comfort and safety come first! More than happy to follow any safety measures that help keep your pet safe and happy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oxon Hill-Glassmanor
Kristal took great care of our two dogs, a senior dog and a five year old vocal velcro dog, and of our home while we were away. She accepted the booking on extremely short notice and was very accommodating in scheduling a meet and greet within one day of us reaching out to her. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. I would definitely recommend Kristal to any pet parent.
Nile took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and even assisted with an apartment issue we had while we were gone. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Nile again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.
Emerald helped us out in a big way when another pet sitter we had needed to drop because of a family emergency two days before our trip. We were able to get ahold of Emerald and get everything squared away to pet site for us the day before we left. She took amazing care of our pets and house.
Oksana was absolutely phenomenal, and we could not have asked for a better person to care for our dogs, Bo and Kobi. She was professional, reliable, and treated them with so much care and attention. Despite the summer heat and temperatures reaching 95 degrees, Oksana consistently took Bo and Kobi on walks once or twice a day and made sure they stayed happy and well cared for. She also looked after our home and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs’ well being. We returned home to two happy pups and a house that had been well looked after. We would recommend Oksana without hesitation. She exceeded our expectations, and we would gladly trust her with Bo and Kobi again. Thank you, Oksana, for taking such great care of our family!
Kayla obviously cares deeply about pets. She checks in with me between bookings about Farah's welfare. Farah was sick this time, and Kayla kept in close touch about her symptoms. She also helped us out with running a sample to the vet and taking care of an issue for a guest in our Airbnb. She also soothed Farah when Farah was missing us. Our nervous Farah really likes Kayla's calm, loving presence.
Paige was amazing with our dogs! She sent us tons of pictures and was in communication with us the entire time she was with our pups. Paige could definitely tell how nervous I was to leave my pups with someone new and she helped ease my fears through this whole process. She was a respectful house guest and left our home neat and tidy. My pups love her and so do we. Will be booking all my future Rovers with her!!
Overall my experience with Justina was okay. There were communication issues on arrival. I set the arrival time for the booking to 6-10pm. By 10pm I had not heard any arrival update. It took over 30 minutes to get ahold of Justina, including calling the emergency support line and prepping to leave my event to go back home. The ultimate arrival was nearly 2 hours past the set arrival time and my dog’s walk window. I do understand there was a vehicle issue and that unexpected things happen but communication is key. I would have made this a 5-star review if I had just been kept informed prior to the late arrival. Aside from the arrival issue the rest of the weekend went smoothly. Justina completed all requested walks and feeds in addition to sending pictures during the day. She also left my home spotless and well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oxon Hill-Glassmanor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oxon Hill-Glassmanor on Rover is $51.73 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 9,979 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oxon Hill-Glassmanor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Oxon Hill-Glassmanor walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Oxon Hill-Glassmanor maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Oxon Hill-Glassmanor 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
