“Jacob is awesome! He walked Chip and Ellie and made sure to give our cat, Cowboy, attention too. He kept us updated with quick communication throughout the visit and left a detailed review afterward. He has super positive energy and our animals were so excited to meet him during our initial meet & greet. I would absolutely hire Jacob again and highly recommend him.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all sizes. I’ve owned three dogs throughout my life two pit bull mixes and a French bulldog so I’m comfortable caring for breeds with very different needs. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from 10 to 110 lbs, which has taught me how to safely handle both small and large dogs on walks and in the home. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently home from college and available throughout the month of January, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, dropins, and sitting. While my schedule can vary day to day, mornings work best for me, and I’m happy to plan ahead. I am a perfectionist and I follow directions to every last word and small detail. So I take care of dogs with utmost care and respect. I’m also reliable as I have picked up those skills from doing other things. I care for my dog by walking, feeding, grooming (brushing, washing, brushing teeth). I do 1-2 mile walks with my dog and give him a bath every 3 weeks.
About: As a devoted dog mom to my 12.5-year-old Maltipoo, Theodore, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Having cared for Theodore throughout every stage of his life, I have firsthand experience with senior dogs and understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle care they may need as they age. I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll treat your pet with the same kindness, care, and attention I give my own! Whether you need someone for regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra companionship while you're away, I'd love to help! Send me a message so we can chat about your pet's needs and how I can give you peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. While I work full time during the week, I make time in my schedule to provide loving, reliable care for your furry family members! I'm available for weekend boarding, as well as dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week before or after work. Depending on your location, I may also be able to do visits during my lunch break. My own dog, Theodore, is free to roam the living room while I'm at work rather than being confined to a crate - your dog can do the same if you want. I also have an indoor pet camera that allows me to check in on him throughout the day, giving me extra peace of mind when I'm away. I live in a one bedroom apartment, there isn't a fence but there is an onsite dog park. I don't have children, so my home is generally quiet and free from the noise and activity of a busy household, making it especially welcoming for pets who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, including senior dogs. I care for pets by making sure they get regular walks, meals on their usual schedule, fresh water every day, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of cuddles and love (if they enjoy them!). I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and routines, so I always tailor my care to their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I’m currently transitioning into a part-time work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I have a fairly open schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting based on your needs. I enjoy staying active and would love to make spending time with your pets a regular part of my routine. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big responsibility, and I don’t take that lightly.

“Perry was wonderful! She paid attention to all the little details, and took such good care of our sweet boy. We’re admittedly crazy cat people and always get a little anxious leaving him, but Perry made us feel so much better with pictures and videos. I hate to say that the highlight of our vacation days was seeing his rover report card. We know he’s in good hands with her and she’ll be our top choice next time we need a sitter.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 7–10 years, looking after the animals and homes of friends, family, and neighbors who know they can rely on me. I believe every pet has different needs, so I take the time to get to know them, follow their routines, and give them the attention they’re comfortable with. I’ll send daily pictures and updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel at ease while you’re away. If there’s something specific you’d like me to do, I’ll make sure it gets done, and if I’m ever unsure about something, I’ll ask. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and in good hands. I work early mornings at Starbucks, so I’m used to getting up early and planning my day around a schedule. When it comes to caring for your pet, I want to understand their specific needs and routine rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’ll do my best to accommodate their schedule and make sure they get the care they need. I believe it’s important to communicate with you, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe pets feel most comfortable when their routines and surroundings stay familiar, so I’m happy to care for them in their own home. I treat every home with respect and make sure to follow the owner’s instructions, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, medications, or specific safety precautions. I take the time to understand what each pet needs, respect their boundaries, and ask questions whenever I’m unsure about something. I want you to feel comfortable trusting me with your pet and your home, knowing that I’ll treat both with care and respect while you’re away.
About: With 20 years of experience for caring my dogs through puppy phase to old age, I’ve handled my chihuahua who passed at 15 and my German Shepherd that passed from Lymphoma.

I love walking and allow your dog to guide me on their trail and where they want to sniff or indoor play time with your cat. With the care experience I have, I know my time with them is short while you are away therefore, I want to make the most of it with their comfort as my top priority. Home is our safe place and sanctuary. With the up most respect to your home, I will only care for the pet and the things you allow me to touch. Thank you for allowing me in your home
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I grew up with dogs and cats since I was a baby so I have always had pets in my life and started taken care of them when I was old enough. I always take pride in my work and will always do what I can to make my customers happy.

“Morris did a great job looking after our two dogs. He was dependable and made sure to give them the time they needed at each visit. We will definitely use him again in the future. I highly recommend him!”
About: Friends have relied on me walk their dogs and dog sit them while they’ve been out of town. Through the time they’ve recommended me to their friends dog sit for them. It takes a lot of love and patience but every second is worth it. With those walks I felt happy to be able to share some time with their pet. Because you don’t only do it because you have to or it’s an obligation, you have to enjoy and connect with their pet so they feel comfortable around me too and they don’t feel like their human is away. I’m currently working a part time job and I am available at any time I may be needed throughout the week and weekend. I make my own schedules. I have a small fenced yard I live in a two story house so they can feel free to be around the house. I currently don’t have any pets so they’re more than welcome to make my couch their own. I also count with cameras around my house.
“Antoinette was very easy to work with. She came in 2 times a day, fed the cats and refreshed water (we have a cat that drinks ice water out of a glass) and kept everything very clean. When we arrived the cats acted like we had not been gone at all, really. Thank you Antoinette.”

Kayla was so wonderful! She went above and beyond with our dog Duke, making sure he was adequately cared for. They took really nice long walks and she even went back to check on him an additional time even though we didn’t book/pay for it. She was incredibly communicative and sent photos so we could enjoy our time away 💗 We will absolutely be rebooking in the future!

We've trusted John with the care of our 17-year-old Shih tzu-Poodle for over a year now, and he's become our go-to choice whenever we travel. He's consistently reliable and punctual, and he never cuts corners—he always stays for the full 30-minute visit, giving our beloved pet the attention she deserves. What really sets him apart is his attention to detail: he sends us pictures after every visit, which has become the highlight of our days while we're away. Knowing our girl is in such caring hands brings us complete peace of mind. We can't recommend John highly enough, and we're grateful to have found such a trustworthy pet sitter.

I'd tell everyone that they should work with Brooke, but I'm afraid that if I do she may not have time for my Sadie :) But seriously, you should work with Brooke. She's so caring and thoughtful with my pup and I feel more peaceful leaving Sadie knowing that Brooke is going to check in on her.

We were super worried at first because it’s always hard to leave our dogs with someone else, but she quickly made us feel comfortable and reassured. She was very reliable, kind, and understanding, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about our dogs. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated everything she did and would definitely trust her to take care of our dogs again.

Marti took wonderful care of my dog, Waffles, while he was recovering from surgery this week. Handing over care during recovery can be stressful, but Marti put us completely at ease. She is incredibly responsive, communicates clearly, and is fantastic with animals. We are so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone!

Fantastic as always. Being away from our furbabies is always hard but knowing Cliff is watching them is one less stressor off our checklist while we're away from our boys. We know they are well taken care of and loved. Cliff communicates beautifully and sends updates with each check-in with loads of pics and notes. Highly recommend like always! If you want your furbabies well taken care of, choose Cliff! Thanks Cliff!!!

Lindsey did a great job, taking care of our dog and cats! We contacted her on short notice and she came and did a meet and greet and understood what we needed done. When we arrived home we had a happy pup, who had received his meditations, and cats who didn’t care that we left or came home.😂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Potomac Falls is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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 15,318 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Potomac Falls. 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.
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 Potomac Falls 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
