“I hesitate to leave a good review as I want Hieu and Anna to myself! My pups love them! Which isn't easy for one of my very reactive pups! I love getting the daily fotos and HI-LARIOUS updates! They tell a story, not merely update! This time, the Aunties stayed with my pups in my home for 9 days over the Christmas holiday! They left my home as they found it - clean and tidy! I have used them several times and will continue to use them! I just can't say enough about how great they are - responsible, respectful, FUN!”

“Lindsey provided the best care for Mizu. She gave me daily updates and whenever I needed a little update. She followed instructions with feeding and administering medications. Mizu was in the best care. Will definitely have her watch him again when I am away.”

“Xavier was AMAZING. Did a meet and greet before the weekend so the dogs could meet him. Between then and the actual weekend, our dogs condition got worse so there was more than we initially talked about to have to do. He jumped right on it. No complaints. Sent tons of pics and updates. My pups were clearly happy and being well taken care of! Highly recommend booking with him!”

“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!”


About: I grew up with many pets. For example, I’ve had 6 birds, 3 hamsters, 1 dwarf gerbil, 1 leopard gecko, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and possibly more. I currently have 2 dogs. Both are rescues. Jasper is 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was about a month old if even that, and Raleigh who is 7 now. I’ve had her since she was 2. Aside from the doggy babies, I also currently have a brown anole that I took in from Florida. His name is Tommy and I’ve had him for 4 months now. He was a baby when I found him. I also have 2 fish, Gumball and Penny. I personally believe all animals are babies. I’ve also pet sit for family members before. I’m currently working part time and I am also a freshman in College. I do have a good bit of free time, and because I don’t live alone I have people home to help take care of my furry and scaled friends, where as some people may need some extra help that I’d be able to provide! I was raised right. I’m respectful, do not cross boundaries, and know better than to disrespect clients (human and animal, of course!) I’m a big empath, I love animals beyond comprehension. I’m a vegetarian that’s working my way to veganism if that can show you how empathetic I am. I also cry while watching Ratatouille. I love walking, I love talking to animals, I treat animals as if they are literal babies because they are just too cute!
“Grace did a wonderful job staying with our dog and housesitting for a weekend. She was a great communicator, sent pictures and updates. Wouldn’t have even know she was in the house. We will for sure use her again and love having someone close by we can trust with our home and pup.”

About: I can accommodate your pets needs. My home is ideally suited for pets–a spacious, fully-fenced backyard for dogs to run around safely, I will maintain a calming presence with your dog. Walking/ running, fetch the ball are some outdoor activities to strengthen the bond with your dog. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a dog and have kept dogs for others. I take our dog out for walks and play-time with other dogs in the neighborhood . Diesel is very friendly, energetic and loving. My house has a large fenced yard. It’s not my practice to crate dogs. However, I can crate your dog if requested. I provide dog beds and allow dogs to move about freely. No one else will be assisting me with caring for your dog.
“Monica took great care of our 10 month old Staffordshire Terrier, Storm while we were away on vacation. We had initially booked for sitting but ended up going with boarding. Monica sent photos and pics daily and reassured us that Storm was doing well, getting exercise and feeling comfortable. I would highly recommend her for all of services offered.”

“Stacey was absolutely amazing with our two boys. She took them for walks and loved on them while we weren’t able to. She was very communicative and sent us pictures and videos of how happy the boys were. When we came home, she had left the house cleaner than when she arrived. I cannot give her enough stars!”


About: I’m new to rover but a lifelong pet care provider. I’ve primarily cared for dogs and cats. I’ve some experience with exotics like birds and reptiles as well. I’ve cared for and raised dogs and cats from puppies/kittens to geriatrics and their many potential extra care needs. I pride myself on bringing a balance of experience and calm but engaging energy for all pets. I have experience caring for dogs as small as 7lbs and as large as 90lbs. I’ve provided care for multi-pet and multi-species homes. I pride myself on being the most popular person at the dog park (with dogs, I’m not there for the people). I’m happy to provide additional care to animals that need it for medical or non-medical reasons. Every person and every pet has their own personality and quirks, so I’m happy to learn and provide the highest quality care that I can. I’m currently open to pet care across many times and days. So if you need a recurring or spontaneous pet care, I am happy to work with you. I am experienced with crate training and can crate your dogs if needed. Every home has different dynamics and rules that I want to respect and make your pets experience with me as comfortable and fun as possible. If you have any special requirements, safety concerns, or additional accommodations, then I am always happy to work with pets and their owners for the best possible situation.
“During our absence, Alexa was extremely communicative (verbal and pictures) Regrading her time with Ellie. Her care and attention was obvious. Alexa is well mannered with high level professional conduct while friendly and pleasant. We will certainly contact her for future staying with Ellie during our travel period.”

About: With over 10 years of dog sitting experience, I have provided dependable, compassionate care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I take pride in creating a loving and stress-free environment where every dog receives personalized attention, exercise, and care as if they were my own. My goal has always been to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in trusted hands. I currently work a full-time schedule; however, I am available to provide dog boarding services after work on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays beginning at 3:00 PM. I also have full availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays for boarding, overnight care, walks, and personalized attention. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care while ensuring pet owners have peace of mind during their time away. I have a friendly and playful toy poodle who enjoys being around and interacting with other animals, helping create a welcoming and comfortable environment for pets in my care. For larger dogs, my apartment complex features a spacious dog park where they can safely exercise, play, and burn off energy. I provide attentive care that includes daily walks, scheduled feedings, playtime, and baths if needed. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for like family.

“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.”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Potomac Heights is $50

Michelle did an amazing job taking care of my pups. She kept me updated frequently with messages and photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly accommodating and flexible—even after I had to change the dates twice, she was still able to make everything work. On top of that, she was so thoughtful and even gave toys to my kids, which meant a lot to us. She’s truly an amazing sitter, and I highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Potomac Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 9,102 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Potomac Heights. 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 Potomac Heights 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 Potomac Heights 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 Potomac Heights 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.
