“We truly appreciate everything Marcela did for our girls while we were away. As first time Rover users, we were a bit apprehensive about the whole process but she put us at ease. She sent us lots of photos of our girls where could see that they were happy and immediately bonded with her. She kept us updated with regular messages and provided quick responses to our questions. We would definitely book Marcela again.”
“Our pups absolutely LOVED Reagan. We were always kept up to date with lots of pictures and videos of our fur babies. Communication was great and will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!”
“Deborah stayed at our home to take care of our two doggies and our kitty while we were gone for the weekend. She was wonderful! Very attentive, providing updates and giving them lots of attention. Our one dog is on meds and the others are on special diets. Highly recommend Deborah for taking care of your fur babies and looking after your home.”
“Rebecca was fantastic! She watched my dogs in my house for a week, sent updates and photos, and gave them all the snuggles. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“We left our 4 dogs and cat for a week with Sarah to house sit. We came home to very happy pets and our house just as we left it. Sarah was in touch all week and asked questions for clarification when needed. Would definitely rebook!”
“Dotti was absolutely fantastic!! 100/10. Reached out to her last minute and she was able to accommodate our fur babies. One of ours are extremely high energy, the other is very timid and anxious. She made them feel comfortable and encouraged fun playtime, and sent pictures the whole time and made us feel comfortable as well! She also took care of our house like it was her own as well; even putting things away we forgot before we left! Highly recommend!!”
“Kerely took outstanding care of our dog, Gracie. Our dog is a recent rescue and has anxiety issues on occasion. Kerely sent us really cute pictures of Gracie that showed how happy Gracie was, and sent us regular texts. There was a thunderstorm while we were gone, and Kerely exercised excellent judgment in helping Gracie through it. Kerely also was very thoughtful in how she took care of our house while we were gone. We would definitely ask Kerely to do this again!”
“Dana took amazing care of our 15-year old golden lab while we were out of town for a week. She stayed in the house with her and gave extra care through thunderstorms which make our pup very nervous! Dana communicated daily about our dogs wellbeing which meant we never had to worry about being away from her. Dana is the best!”
“Michelle was really great. She was prompt and clear when communicating with me. She sent pictures and updates through out each day. Most importantly she was understanding and patient with ME as I explain in detail a lot of what my dogs need. I have a 13 yo and a 13 month old, both labs and each comes with some very specific handling needs especially around feeding and walking and Michelle was open to letting me communicate these needs. Her care and attention to the dogs' needs helped me relax on our vacation. I will definitely be asking her again to stay with the dogs. Thanks Michelle”
“Arsema was very nice and she took care of Tico for a few hours while I was at work , tico wasn’t feeling well so she stayed with him so I could work and not have to worry about a thing . Thank you ?”
“Hieu and Anna were lovely! I was very comfortable with them taking care of our large zoo overnight. They sent plenty of pictures, and even braved a snowstorm to make it to the house. I will absolutely be calling them again!!!”
“Tara was great with my 2 little Yorkies, as always. They absolutely love her. She made special treats for them and made cute little stickers out of some of the pictures she took of them. They absolutely love her. She also made sure that she left the house in great shape.”
“Katherine is extremely responsive and reliable. She also clearly loves animals and really hit things off with both my dog and my cat. She even took the dog on the extra-long walks he adores! Having Katherine take care of my animals makes me feel much more comfortable traveling!”
About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life - dogs, cats, hamsters, fish… and some at the same time. I understand that your pet is a member of your family and they will be treated as such with me. I also know that pet care is not just playtime, they require care, constant attention, to follow what you have set for them in terms of schedule and routine, reinforced love… and of course playtime and cuddles! Your pet will be safe with me and I hope to be an extension of your family’s pet care team. I am available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. I work full time from home so your pet will have my constant attention and time to ensure safety, care, and FUN! I do not currently have any pets in the home. Another driving reason for wishing you’ll share your furbaby with me - I definitely miss the companionship, company, and fun a pet brings to the home and my day.
“Christina was absolutely incredible as our dog and house sitter. She continuously went above and beyond in her care for our dogs and home. We had a dog that unfortunately got very sick early on, so Christina stepped up to be sure that he was taken care of and felt loved through his illness. We had constant communication with her to be sure he could be okay while we were gone. We are so thankful for her care and attention. We would love to have Christina care for our dogs again and again in the future. She's wonderful!!”
“As always, I trust and appreciate Veronica and her daughter implicitly. My dogs are well loved and cared for and it’s so nice to know someone has an eye on the house too when we are gone.”

Fabiana was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for Ferrari and Aston and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and happiness. She paid close attention to their routines, picked up on their cues, and kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos throughout the stay. It was obvious that my pups felt comfortable, safe, and loved in her care. Fabiana was attentive, responsible, and proactive, always making sure their needs were met and that they received plenty of attention and affection. What impressed me most was her dedication and communication. She treated Ferrari and Aston as if they were her own and made every effort to ensure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Coming home to two relaxed and content pups was the best confirmation of the excellent care she provided. I highly recommend Fabiana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. I’m definitely looking forward to booking with her again and would not hesitate to recommend her to family, friends, and fellow pet parents. She truly exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care she provided.
Eyowyn was great! She sent multiple photo updates and took great care of Dixie. She was responsive and made sure to take the time to do a meet in greet giving me piece of mind and letting Dixie get comfortable with her. The house was left clean and as if she hadn’t been here. She’s the best!
Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!
I had a great experience with Maya as a sitter for my puppy Nela. She showed up on time, was reliable, and communicated clearly throughout the day. She followed all feeding instructions exactly and went above and beyond by giving Nela plenty of playtime and sending me updates. Highly recommend!

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 Pohick 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 Pohick 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pohick 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 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.
