“The peace of mind Amanda brought to our whole family during an overseas trip cannot be overstated. We have a special needs kitty and we came home to a happy, energetic cat that never seemed to skip a beat. She routinely sent us photos and notes on her visit. She left our house clean and organized… easing the return. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone and we will surely lock in with her during our next holiday!!! So very thankful for her caring spirit….”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I got my first dog when I was 6 and cared for her until I moved abroad at 17. I also adopted a cat at 15 and have been responsible for her daily care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I am generally available on weekdays and weekends with flexible hours. Monday–Friday: 3:30 PM – 7:00 PM Weekends: Available all day (morning, afternoon, and evening) I am able to adjust my schedule with advance notice when needed and can accommodate regular or recurring walks as well as occasional bookings. I am especially flexible on weekends and during school breaks. I always prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I provide a calm, clean, and caring environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved.

About: As a proud dog parent to my pup, Ollie, for the past 6 years, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! While Ollie is currently staying with my parents as I settle into the DMV area, I’m excited to share that same love and attention with other pets. I’m especially great with energetic, playful dogs who love staying active, whether that means long walks, outdoor adventures, or plenty of playtime! I also enjoy working with puppies and reinforcing basic training commands like sit, stay, and come through patience and positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pup needs extra exercise, a little structure, or just lots of love and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I treat every dog like my own and believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos, communication, and peace of mind! I offer a flexible schedule to accommodate busy pet parents! During the week, I’m available for early morning visits and walks before 8 AM, as well as evenings after 5 PM. I also have open availability throughout the weekends, making it easy to schedule walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your furry friend! I’ll also be available during the remaining U.S. holidays through the end of 2026, including Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. Whether you need consistent weekly care, weekend help, or someone reliable during holiday travel, I’m happy to help keep your pup loved, active, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pup, Ollie. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (when instructed), and any specific care needs. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised appropriately, and their environment remains clean and comfortable. I also believe communication is key! I’m happy to provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and every pet parent feel at ease!

About: I provide constant care and very flexible hours! I have lived with my best friend Lucky which I have raised since he was 3 weeks old. He has lived with me for the last 10 years and I hope I gave him the love he deserves as much as I received from him. I don't know many tricks and skills, but I am fairly knowledgeable with potty training and walking. I don't offer many extra skills to go along with taking care of your pals, but I do make sure they are watched constantly and walked properly. I will try to show them an amazing time! I work full time at home so I can keep a consistent schedule! Walks and potty breaks are no problem for me as well as feeding! I like to keep a close watch to make sure their needs are met. I will try to walk often so that the dogs aren't sitting bored at home!

She also kept a close eye on our dog’s after-surgery suture area, sharing pics and building rapport with our dog. Highly recommend!”

About: As a proud owner of an adorable Yorkie, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog like family. I have hands-on experience caring for my own 10 pound pup and feel especially comfortable caring yours. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I strive to make them feel safe, happy and loved. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, exercise and daily routines to ensure your furry friend receives attentive, personalized care. I work a hybrid schedule during the week, which gives me the flexibility to coordinate pet care around my workday. I’m available for dog walking, dog sitting, and house sitting, and I enjoy making time for animals to receive companionship and attention they deserve. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise and affection and maintaining familiar routines. I would be proactive in communicating with you to coordinate expectations as well as ensuring that I provide dependable care while you are away. As a Yorkie parent, I understand the importance of patience, compassion and attentive care. My own dog experienced separation anxiety, so I prioritize quality time, regular meals, exercise and helping him feel safe and helping him feel safe and comfortable. I provide gentle, loving attention, follow their routines, and make their well-being is my priority. I want every furry friend to feel secure, cared for, and loved while their family is away.

About: I’ve been watching my own dogs for almost my whole life, ensuring they are stimulated and well cared for. I also have watched and cared for cats, cleaning their litter daily and playing with them. As a college student, I have a lot of time available over the week, making it easier for me to have more pets to watch over. I care for any pet as I would my own, being gentle, kind, and most importantly ensuring the pets safety and comfortability in all situations.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have owned dogs in the past, so I understand the different stages of a dog’s life, from puppyhood to their senior years. I know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I believe in giving them the patience, attention, and care they deserve. As a cat mom of three, I also have plenty of experience caring for pets with different temperaments and grooming needs. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, meals, or extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, check-ins, and companionship for your pets while you’re away. I’m also flexible with scheduling and happy to work with you to find a routine that best fits your pet’s needs. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, and any other specific care they need. Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies, so I make sure to follow all care instructions, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away!

About: Hi, I’m Jennyfer ! I’m a dog lover in the Tysons-Dunn Loring area offering evening walks, so your fur-friend gets exercise and fresh air even when your workday runs long. I treat every pet like my own. You can expect an attentive, unhurried walk, plenty of sniff time, and a happy, tired dog waiting at your door :) What you can expect: - A walk matched to your dog’s energy, age, and pace - A photo or quick update after every walk - Fresh water and a safe return, with your leash and routine respected - Friendly, clear communication, with a meet-and-greet before our first walk I’m available Monday through Friday from 5pm to 9pm, and I’d love to meet you and your dog. Send a message and let’s set up a meet-and-greet! I’m available Monday through Friday after 5 p.m., which makes me a great fit for dog owners who work long days and want their pup to get a walk when they can’t be home. I build my evenings around walks, so I’m never rushing. A consistent weekday routine also helps dogs, since they know when to expect me and can settle in comfortably. If your schedule changes, I’m happy to talk through timing so it works for you and your dog. - As your dog walker, I care for pets during our time together outdoors, and I take that responsibility seriously. Before our first walk, I like to do a meet-and-greet so I can learn your dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. I’ll ask about their leash habits, triggers, any commands they know, and anything else I should be aware of, like allergies or health concerns. - At the start of each walk, I make sure your dog is securely leashed, and I use your preferred leash and harness. I stay focused on your dog the whole time, with no distractions. I keep a steady, comfortable pace, give plenty of time to sniff and explore, and watch closely for signs of fatigue, overheating, or stress. In the evenings I stick to well-lit, familiar routes and avoid busy streets and hazards like hot pavement, broken glass, and unfamiliar dogs. - When we get back, I wipe their paws if you’d like, offer fresh water, and make sure they’re settled safely before I leave. I’ll also send you a quick update with a photo/video, so you know how the walk went and how your dog is doing. - Communication matters to me, so I’ll let you know right away if anything unexpected happens, and I’ll follow any instructions you give me for your home and your dog’s routine.

Mitzi is a fantastic cat sitter. She came to the house a few days prior to my 7-day trip away. Met my cat (a ragdoll) and got to know her and her likes/dislikes. She sent me pictures and updates daily which was very sweet and great to hear the feedback. When I got home my cat who usually gets very upset with me for leaving (sitting with her back towards me and yelling loudly) didn’t do any of that. I think it’s because she liked Mitzi. Highly recommend Mitzi.

Alexis did such an amazing job with my senior cat, Cayenne. She gave amazing Rover reports/photos and she was able to administer fluids for my cat. He is 19 years old and needs a lot of gentle care and attention. Going out of town is generally very stressful for us to leave Cayenne at home, but he clearly loved her!! I will 100% be using her again if we go out of town.

We had booked Juan for four days to watch our cat. Unfortunately, a storm caused us to have to cancel our trip after the first day. Juan worked with us and Rover on how to move forward.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pimmit Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pimmit Hills is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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 16,136 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pimmit Hills. 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 Pimmit Hills. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
