Kendall is the BEST! I can’t recommend her enough! From the very beginning, she has gone above and beyond in caring for my dog. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats the dogs under her care like her own. She is so reliable and organized, communicative, and thoughtful. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She also takes extra time to make sure my dog is comfortable, happy, and well exercised, and even brings her bones. We are lucky to have Kendall in our life!

About: I've grown up around a wide variety of animals, including birds, dogs, cats, etc. Spending so much time caring for animals has taught me that each one has a unique personality and temperament, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them and building their trust. In addition to my lifelong experience with animals, I have the privilege of volunteering with a rescue organization called Lovepaws, where I work with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This experience has strengthened my ability to provide compassionate, attentive care while ensuring each animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and reserved, I'll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and care that I would my own. While I'm a full-time college student and work part-time, caring for animals is one of my greatest passions. I make it a priority to dedicate quality time to every pet in my care, ensuring they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I like to follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. I know that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their family is away, so I make it a priority to give them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Hi I’m Todd a recently retired professional looking to fill my schedule with caring for both dogs and cats. I have a very open schedule so no rushing off to an office or leaving your pet alone for long hours. I provide reliable, calm, and attentive care for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am highly responsible, communicative, and ready to follow your pet's specific routine as needed. There are many paths around my house, which are great for walking dogs. I am not working so I am very flexible in terms of my schedule. I am usually available during most times of the day or even on short notice if needed. I live in a three level townhouse in Reston with a deck and a small backyard that backs to woods. I do not have any pets of my own, but several of my neighbors have pets.

About: Hello! I’m Catalina. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I love creating a mix of adventure and comfort for them, whether it’s a hike, a long walk, or a relaxing movie night afterwards. My building has a great dog park with lots of toys, so pups get plenty of space and stimulation. I’m available on weekends and always make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. Your baby will get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles with me! IG: happ_ypawspetsitting I have availability in the afternoons and weekends. During the weekend I can spend the whole day with them and also at night or dog care. I don’t have dogs or cats in my home , so it will be easy if someone needs me to stay at my place with their dog/cat.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs all my life and love pets of all kinds. I currently have a 10-year old dog, so I am experienced with senior needs. I love going for long walks with furry friends and always make sure they get lots of play time. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs or cats. Need early morning, lunch break, or evening walks or drop-ins I'm there! I will work with the schedule you outline and ensure your pet is getting the attention and care they need. Busy walks, treats, feedings if needed, I can take care of it all.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in middle school and love spending time with them! I love having conversations with them and learning their personalities :( I currently work a full time job and I am only available on weekends. My weekends are typically completely free so my schedule is very flexible and I can be an early riser or a night owl! I am used to having to give space when they are anxious or being high energy to match their excitement. I always approach them with a soft tone to know that they are safe and I love giving treats to win their hearts over!

I’m responsible, patient, and very attentive to their needs, and I’ll make sure you receive regular updates and photos while you’re away.

I’ll give your pup plenty of attention and supervision, while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well.

About: “I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’ve personally raised three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive—I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands.” “I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for evening visits, as well as overnight care. Weekends are wide open for more flexible scheduling, whether your pet needs extra attention, longer walks, or extended stays.” “I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks, and I keep a clean, calm environment in the home. I’m also experienced with administering medications if needed. I know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention and care. I make sure they feel relaxed and at home, with plenty of time for play, rest, and affection.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience of over 15 years in caring for dogs, alongside my commitment to their physical activity and nutritional well-being. I engage dogs in a variety of activities, such as hiking, backyard playtime, ensuring they are not only physically active but mentally stimulated. During inclement weather, I have numerous dog toys at home to keep them entertained and active indoors. Moreover, I have skills in administering medications such as pills and ear solutions, a requirement that may arise in caring for senior dogs or those with medical conditions. Perhaps what distinguishes me the most is my passion for making healthy dog treats from scratch. I firmly believe in providing dogs with nutritious and healthier food options, and this homemade approach is a testament to that. Additionally, I offer a beautiful, spacious home environment, surrounded by woods and walking trails, providing dogs with an extensive area for exploration and play. My approach to pet care combines both love and professional skills, ensuring your dog would be in the best possible hands. I currently work hybrid and very flexible with timings either late night or early morningsI So I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I also have two gorgeous English cream retriever dogs named Misty (6yrs) and Maya (2yrs) that are super duper calm, playful and very well behaved! I never leave pets un-attended even if it's fenced to make sure they are ok. My home has a beautiful walking trail right behind my backyard! I always make sure their water bowl is full and pay attention to the toys/chewables they put in their mouth so I can act quick in case they choke. If they feel sick, I keep them next to me all the time and they go on my office bed when I'm at work and totally open to taking the pet to the recommended veterinarian if needed and will be in communication with the owner at all times, I wouldn't mind being away from my work for few hours! I’d prefer all communications to be through Rover only and not exchange personal numbers/emails.

Most importantly, when a last-minute emergency came up on our end, Joy went out of her way to help us, making significant changes to her plans for the day to make sure Maya was cared for. We are so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Joy was the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Reston on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 15,509 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Reston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Reston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Reston 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.

To find sitters in Reston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Reston. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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.
