About: I’ve been caring for animals since middle school, and over the past 6 years neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs, high-energy pups, and senior dogs/dogs on medication. I send photo and video updates and follow each dog’s routine closely, so you can relax knowing they’re treated like family. As a commuter student at GMU, my schedule is structured and predictable, and I have flexible blocks between classes and on day at home and weekends. I plan my day around the dogs in my care, so they get regular walks, meals, and attention, and I can respond to messages quickly and accommodate last-minute requests. Your dog’s safety comes first. I will follow your instructions on feeding, medication, and routine, keep dogs leashed on walks, and never leave them unsupervised in unsafe areas. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand and send updates throughout my time with your pooch ;)
“David and his family went above and beyond to care for our golden while we were away. It was our first time leaving Hank alone at our house for the weekend so we were filled with nerves. That was until we received the first pictures and rover card for their first visit. It was evident that they made Hank feel comfortable and even excited when they arrived! They popped in for 4 hour-long visits each day, doing two long walks and making sure he was fed, put to sleep, and played with each time. It was wonderful seeing multiple members of the family there with him. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
“Bella was fantastic! We contacted her last minute because we needed help with giving medication to one of our kitties. She was able to come same day. We did a video call and I walked her through everything. We definitely will be using her again and if we loved the photos she sent of the kitties. It was clear that she loves animals.”
About: I always had dogs and cats growing up since I was 6. I've taken care of dogs (walking, feeding, bathing, and boarding) for my friends, neighbors and family for at least 6 years mostly for medium and small dogs when they are away/out of town. My husband and I work full time from home so my schedule is flexible to provide any services such as drop-in, walks, day care and boarding either on daily basis or on your special occasions. We have a dog (medium size) at home and we would like to ensure that we give lots of affection and playtime to your fur babies. We live in a townhouse surrounding by many traits and dog parks. My husband and I will give your fur babies lots of affection and playtime, we’ll do our best to make them feel at home! Our guest pups usually sleep alongside with our own dog in their individual beds, either in the basement or living room areas. Also, when providing drop-in visits, or dog walking services, I will not only be taking care of your dogs, but I will also take care of your home by taking a little extra time before I leave to ensure everything’s secure, and the dog has what they need before you come back.
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner and animal lover for more than 20 years and caring for pets has always been a meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with a wide variety of personalities and breeds, including Boxers, Pomeranians, Peek-a-Poms, Chihuahuas, Chorkies, American Staffordshire Terriers, and Schnauzers. I’ve personally trained every dog I’ve owned from puppyhood through adulthood, including basic obedience, crate training, leash walking, fetch, potty training, and bell training. That experience taught me that every dog learns differently, and that patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding a dog’s individual personality go a long way. I’m comfortable with everything from the energetic puppy who wants to play all day to the dog who would rather curl up beside you and keep you company. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, routines, and the little things that help a dog feel secure and comfortable in a new environment. My goal isn’t simply to “watch” your dog... it’s to make them feel safe, loved, included, and comfortable while you’re away. My experience extends well beyond dogs, too. I’ve owned and cared for Parakeets, Cockatiels, a Mitred Conure, African Grey, Moluccan Cockatoo, and Yellow-Nape Amazon. Caring for these very different animals has given me an appreciation for how important it is to respect each pet’s unique temperament, routine, communication style, and needs. What I bring to your pet: -20+ years of hands-on pet ownership and care -Experience with multiple breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities -Puppy-to-adult experience with training and basic obedience -Comfortable reinforcing established commands, crate routines, leash manners, and potty routines -A calm, patient approach that prioritizes positive reinforcement -Plenty of play, exercise, attention, affection, and companionship -Close attention to your pet’s normal routine and individual personality -Understanding that some pets need adventure and activity, while others need a quiet place to relax -Experience caring for both dogs and companion birds -Most importantly, genuine love for animals and not just a love of the Rover job When your dog stays with me, they’re not being treated like a guest... they’re being welcomed like family! ❤️🐾 As a retired U.S. Navy Veteran, I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pets in my care. Animals naturally fit into my daily routine, from morning walks and playtime to companionship, feeding, training reinforcement, and plenty of love and attention. I enjoy an active lifestyle and genuinely appreciate having dogs as part of my everyday life. Whether your pet is staying in my home, enjoying a drop-in visit, or joining me for a walk, I provide personalized, attentive care built around their routine, personality, and comfort level. I'm dependable, responsible, and able to give your pet plenty of time and attention. -Boarding: While staying in my home, they'll have access to a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, potty breaks, and supervised time outside. They'll also have a friendly, senior Chihuahua companion to keep them company. -Drop-Ins: I'll make sure your pet gets the attention, fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and affection they need. -Walks: I focus on safe enjoyable exercise while reinforcing good leash manners (if needed), and allowing ample time for your dog to sniff, explore, and enjoy the fresh air. Above all, I treat every pet as an individual and strive to make them feel safe and loved!
About: I started out petsitting and doing walks at a doggy daycare center in Falls Church. Within a few months I was promoted to the center manager. We offered not only petsitting, walks and daycare, but boarding, grooming and pickup/drop off services. I worked there for three years in my young adult years. It was a very rewarding and fun part of my life, and every furry friend was a unique character I will never forget! I also have a ton of natural energy, and love to get some exercise on walks. I am currently flexible all day during the week. I have recently left the corporate world and I am in the process of building my professional organizing business to step away from the corporate rat race. I’m full of gratitude that I get the chance to care for furry children with my extra time! I have experience in the client’s home of crating pets, I am detail oriented and thorough, and ensure my care is loving and considerate of your home and furry family member.
About: Retired and Respectful. I will follow your pet’s routine with dependable and detail-oriented care. You'll have a peace of mind while you’re away and receive thoughtful updates. I’m retired, which gives me flexibility to plan my days around the pet-care visits I accept. I’m organized and detail-oriented, and I would build feeding, walks, playtime, and updates into my schedule so each pet gets consistent, attentive care. I only accept bookings that fit my availability and allow me to follow your pet’s usual routine without rushing. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely so their pet can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their usual routine. Depending on the service, that includes feeding, fresh water, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and companionship. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, preferences, and any special care instructions before accepting a booking. I’m detail-oriented and make safety a priority, including checking that doors and gates are secure and leaving the home clean and locked as instructed. I provide photos and clear updates so owners know how their pet is doing, and I communicate promptly if I notice anything concerning.
“katrina has proven to be reliable and thorough with her care for atlas. she sent lots of photos and informational status updates that gave me great peace of mind. will definitely be booking with her again :)”
“I feel so lucky to have found Katie! She got back to me right away about her availability and also addressed my concerns with helping to care for my senior dog. You can just sense Katie loves pups and her caring nature makes me feel confident that my dog will be well taken care of!”
“Daniella did great with checking in on our dogs! They seemed to enjoy their walks with her and didn't have any issues. She left good notes about her visits and was easy to communicate with. We needed additional care for the week and she was willing and able to continue helping out, which was greatly appreciated! I would highly recommend Daniella and rebook her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pohick
Marcela is a reliable, professional, and caring pet sitter. At a difficult time, when our cat was adjusting after losing our other cat, Marcela gave extra attention and lots of cuddles. The daily updates and photos gave us peace of mind. We appreciated the helpful tips she shared about our cat fast eating. We would gladly recommend Marcela to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.
Fabiana was fantastic! She was able to help me out on short notice and made the entire process incredibly easy. She communicated well, followed my instructions, and took great care of Bandit despite it being their first time meeting. She even took him on a walk, got some playtime in, and sent pictures and updates afterward. I really appreciated her flexibility and attention to detail. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Wyatt was so helpful for a last minute booking we needed to take care of our cat Otis. He was quick to respond, took extra good care of our cat, and even offered to groom him a bit! Was obvious he loves pets and I will definitely reach out to him again if we ever need another sitter in the future.
Leah was so incredibly kind to Ari and Sundance and we were so grateful for her help while we had an out of town trip. She was loving to them, very communicative, and even went out of the way to make sure that one of our pups didn’t jump around too much after eating his meal after I mentioned how we try to keep him settled. Her attentiveness to detail was so much appreciated!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best cat sitter I could have asked for! I’m very particular about my cats’ care, and I left detailed written instructions along with videos. She followed everything exactly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brushed my long-haired cats, which I really appreciated and wasn’t something I expected. When I got home, they were happy, well cared for, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. It was obvious they had been looked after with genuine care and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of our senior dogs is very anxious when we travel and has always struggled with boarding, often refusing to eat. Having him stay at home in his familiar environment with check ins with Macy made a huge difference! He was relaxed, happy, and eating well. We felt completely at ease while away and are so grateful for the care she provided.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pohick is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 15,159 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pohick. 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 Pohick. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
