“Erica was fantastic with our two miniature wires hair dachshunds. She stayed at the home and kept our dogs company while we were away over the Thanksgiving week. She kept us updated through the week and took them for walks. We highly recommend her.”

“I recently hired Dominique as a dog sitter for the first time, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment we met, Dominique exuded professionalism and warmth, which instantly put my mind at ease. She was incredibly attentive to my dogs’ needs and took the time to understand their personalities and quirks. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout her stay, which not only reassured me but also showed how much she cared for my pets. Dominique went above and beyond to ensure that my dogs were happy and comfortable, and it was clear they adored her. If you're looking for a reliable and friendly dog sitter, I highly recommend Dominique! She's truly a gem, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you, Dominique, for taking such great care of my furry babies!”


“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Melissa is a wonderful sitter and did an excellent job with our pup. She’s very attentive, communicative, and professional, and she went above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone, and we’d love to have her care for our dog again!”

“Chris took great care of Maggie and my house. Chris sent us lots of pictures and comments about Maggie. We will definitely have Chris back when we need another dog and house sitter. I'm really happy the experience was good for my dog by not leaving her in a kennel.”

“Shannon did amazing with my pup Mia! She sent tons of pictures so I didn’t have to miss her too much, and gave her lots of exercise since she’s a high energy doggo! Super pleased, I’ll definitely book her again.”

“Hannah managed to coax our three shy cats out of their hiding places and eventually even got kisses from the boy cat. She kept us informed of her progress along the way to feline acceptance with emails, photos and new toys from them. As a house sitter, Hannah dealt with Verizon FiOS when our wifi went down by troubleshooting and meeting with the technician who was able to fix the problem. And she left the house cleaner than we left it! We (both humans and felines) look forward to calling on Hannah for our next vacation.”


About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals! With 4 years of pet care experience, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your furry family members with love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I take responsibility, trust, and communication seriously. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m always happy to follow their usual routines to make their time away from you as stress-free as possible! I have a pretty busy weekday schedule but I am typically free on Friday evenings and weekends. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to coordinate a schedule that works best for everyone. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I make sure to follow all feeding instructions, walking routines, medication directions when applicable, and any special requests you may have. I respect your home and your pet’s personal space while providing a loving and attentive environment. I’m also happy to send regular pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and well cared for!
“Hieu and Anna are the real deal. They took great care of our pets and our home. We really hope we can have them stay and take care of our furry family again and again. They where great with communications, sent us updates that reassured us everything was going well, and left the house is as good if not better shape than we left it.”

About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals, and caring for them quickly became second nature to me. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of making sure my pets were happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Whether it was feeding, grooming, training, or simply spending quality time with them, I always put my heart into making sure they felt loved and safe. Grooming & Hygiene Keeping my pets clean and well-groomed has always been a top priority. I’ve had plenty of experience brushing fur to prevent tangles, bathing dogs with pet-safe shampoos, trimming nails, and making sure their ears and teeth stay clean. I know how important regular grooming is—not just for a pet’s appearance, but for their overall health and comfort. Cleaning & Maintaining a Healthy Environment A clean space means a happy and healthy pet, so I’ve always been diligent about keeping my pets’ living areas tidy. Whether it’s scooping litter boxes, cleaning up fur, washing food and water bowls, or making sure their bedding is fresh and comfortable, I make sure they have a safe and sanitary space to live in. Training & Teaching Fun Tricks One of my favorite things about working with animals is training them. I love using positive reinforcement to teach cool tricks, from basic commands like sit and stay to more advanced skills like opening doors. I enjoy the challenge of working with different personalities and figuring out the best way to engage them in learning. I’ve also successfully potty trained puppies, using patience, consistency, and positive rewards to help them develop good habits. Personalized Pet Care Every pet is different, and I’ve always made it a priority to understand their unique personalities and needs. Some animals are energetic and love to run and play, while others are more relaxed and enjoy cuddle time. I make sure to cater to each pet’s preferences, providing the right balance of exercise, attention, and affection to keep them happy and comfortable. Patience & A Positive Attitude Caring for animals takes patience, and that’s something I have in abundance. Whether I’m working with a shy pet who needs time to warm up, a playful puppy full of energy, or a senior pet who needs extra care, I approach every situation with kindness and understanding. My bubbly and happy personality helps pets feel at ease, and I love creating a positive, loving environment for them. A Lifelong Love for Animals Because I grew up with pets, taking care of them isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of who I am. My experience with grooming, cleaning, training, and overall pet care has given me the skills and knowledge to ensure that every animal I look after feels safe, loved, and well cared for. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a happy, healthy pet, and I take pride in providing the best care possible for every furry friend in my life. I currently just moved to Richmond, Va with my fiancé. I do not currently have a job but I am looking to school to be a veterinarian. I am currently free a lot of the times. Sure! Here’s a detailed first-person summary of how you would take care of your clients’ pets: ⸻ Taking care of my clients’ pets is more than just a job—it’s a passion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. Daily Routine & Care Every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to each one accordingly. I begin by getting to know the pet’s personality, preferences, and any specific instructions from their owner. Feeding & Hydration I make sure pets are fed according to their specific dietary requirements, whether it’s dry kibble, wet food, or a raw diet. I pay close attention to portion sizes and feeding schedules to maintain their health and energy levels. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure to clean food and water bowls regularly to keep everything hygienic. Grooming & Hygiene Grooming is an essential part of a pet’s well-being. I brush their fur to keep it clean and free from tangles, especially for breeds that require frequent upkeep. If needed, I also provide baths using pet-safe shampoos, making sure to dry them thoroughly to avoid discomfort. Nail trimming, ear cleaning, and brushing their teeth are also part of my routine to ensure they stay healthy from head to tail. Bathroom Breaks & Cleaning For dogs, I take them out for regular bathroom breaks, following their usual schedule to prevent accidents and ensure their comfort. For cats, I scoop the litter box daily, replacing litter as needed to keep their space fresh and odor-free. Any pet messes, whether accidents or shedding, are promptly cleaned to maintain a clean and comfortable environment. Exercise & Playtime Physical activity is vital for a pet’s happiness and health. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or interactive play with their favorite toys. I adjust activities based on the pet’s age and energy level, ensuring they get the right balance of movement and stimulation. Cuddling & Social Interaction Beyond basic care, I provide plenty of love and affection. If a pet enjoys snuggles, I’m more than happy to have cuddle sessions to make them feel secure and cherished. For pets who prefer space, I respect their boundaries while still giving them companionship in a way they’re comfortable with. Special Care & Medication If a pet has any special needs, I ensure they receive the proper attention. This includes administering medications, following specific health protocols, or providing extra care for senior pets. I carefully follow any instructions given by the owner to make sure their pet’s health is always a priority. Going the Extra Mile I believe in treating pets like family, which means going beyond the basics. I send regular updates to owners with pictures and details about their pet’s day. I make sure to monitor their behavior for any signs of distress or illness and notify the owner immediately if anything seems off. At the heart of my work is a genuine love for animals. Whether it’s keeping them active, maintaining their hygiene, or simply giving them the attention they need, I ensure every pet in my care feels happy, comfortable, and loved. Would you like me to personalize this further for specific services you offer?

About: Hey everyone! I’m Melanie, a recent Environmental Science grad from George Mason University. I absolutely love taking morning and afternoon strolls at the nearby parks as it’s a nice way to unwind and enjoy nature! When it comes to pet’s, I've been a dog lover since I was a kid! My family has always had furry companions around, and caring for them truly brings me so much joy. I’m a morning person, so I love getting my errands done early in the day! It gives me a sense of accomplishment to kick off my day. I'm also flexible with my time and can easily adjust to fit your needs! As a pet sitter, I truly believe in being respectful and caring while I’m in your home. You can count on me to take great care of your pet with plenty of love and gentleness.

“Heidi did an amazing job with our puppy and cat over a long stay-over! She checked in daily with the sweetest pictures our our fur babies thoroughly enjoying her company! I will definitely book with Heidi again!”

“I have used Kelly for House Sitting with my dogs a couple of times. Each time, I was pleased to know that the pups were being cared for, loved on and in the comfort of their own home. I previously had 2 Dobermans that Kelly cared for, and she has now met my new Doberman Senja, who I recently adopted as my other 2 had since passed. Dobermans can be very sensitive and have stomach problems when stressed out. But under Kelly's care, I have never come home to a pup with stomach issues like I do if I use a boarding facility. Kelly is always reliable and communicates on a daily basis with pictures of the pups. It truly allows us to enjoy our vacations and not stress about what is going on at home with our dogs since we are confident that they are in Kelly's care. It was important to me that a sitter not be intimidated by the breed. My previous Dobermans were leery of strangers until they warmed up, and she handled them without hesitation. My newly adopted Senja took to Kelly right away.”


About: I have been around and taken care of cats since my mom and I rescued 3 kittens from side of the road. When we picked them up and took them to the vet they were only 2 weeks old. We had to quickly learn how to take care of them to make sure they survived. From nursing them to stimulating them so that then could go to the bathroom , to waking up every hour to make sure they were okay and warm. They are now 6 years old! Those are now my mom's babies, I ended up getting my own 2 babies 2 years later from a shelter. One of my boys has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (it's mild) which means he's a little wobbly and off balance. With his condition it has made me much more patient, caring and understanding to any animals with any disabilities or impairments I work full-time during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your cats the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always make sure we discuss your pets routine and needs beforehand so I can provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter box, and care instructions provided by the owner. I’m very respectful of each petsp personality and boundaries and never force interaction. I make sure doors and windows are secure, litter areas are kept clean, fresh food and water are available, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet prefers. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your baby is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

I am a very caring and loving person with lots of patience!!! I will treat your pet like family just like I do my own. I am very good with all breed types.

About: I’ve taken care of so many dogs since i was 12. I use to work for pet care and got cpr training from there too. Im always active, i love walking, lifting, and being on the move for work. Walking dogs and playing with them, that makes me so happy. I will always walk them at their speed and play as much as they want. Making sure they’re safe, and making sure they’re comfortable too.
“Toni was a lifesaver! We have an extremely shy/nervous chihuahua that barks and runs from pretty much everyone. Toni was patient and worked with us to build up a familiarity with our skittish little girl. It took some time, but we were successfully able to go on vacation without having the constant worry of our little girl being comfortable in the back of our minds. We highly recommend working with Toni, especially for a challenging pup.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Quantico is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $50 per night.

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 Quantico 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 Quantico 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 Quantico 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Quantico. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
