“First time using Rover and Leah made the experience perfect. She was fantastic! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She was able to give my cat her pill with ease, which gave me peace of mind while I was away and she took lots of pictures during her drop in visits.”
“Sara is the best！We found her on Rover based on the positive reviews other people posted so we knew she was good. Still she exceeded our expectations! She took great care of our cat for 20 days and did more than we asked for!when we returned home from our trip our 13 year old cat looked younger, healthier,and radiant! Sara will definitely be our Go To for the next trip!!”
About: I've had dogs, birds, and Guinea pigs for the last 20 years. I love working with animals and have a rabbit of my won while also volunteering at the cat and Dog shelter I work full time from home- so have a lot of time to spend with put or kitty from home. I will make sure your fur baby gets a lot of Love and attention I have a two bedroom apartment, and because its not too big we have a lot of time to spend with your fur baby. I also have multiple parks around me that I am able to take your pup to
“I have relied on Elena a lot recently to provide care for my cats during a period of significant travel away from home. She was able to accommodate my flexible schedule and stayed in regular touch with photos, videos, and comments which allowed me to know my pets were safe, happy, and being cared for. Elena has sought feedback regularly to ensure she was providing good services and also identified a way to prevent the cats from potentially knocking over their water bowl during longer periods when no one is home. I will be booking with her again!”
“Kelsey is great, trustworthy, and reliable! She always sends descriptive updates along with plenty of photos and videos so we know our cats are doing well while we are away. We highly recommend her!”
“Amazing for my first time with her. She loved and played with my pups and was amazing. Even went above and beyond without saying a word to me but I noticed! Thank you Riley. We will be talking again!!!!!!”
“Raquel was amazing! She stepped in on short notice and took great care of Ivy! She was very communicative and went above and beyond in treating her as if she as her own! Highly recommend!”
“Clay arrived on time, has a friendly demeanor, and was in tune to Abner’s needs. This was a trial run to see Abner’s willingness to walk with him. Due to the pandemic, Abner is not as adaptable to new people as before since someone is usually with him as I work from home. They came back pretty quickly from the walk so I accompanied them to allow Abner to be more comfortable with Clay. We had a nice walk and Abner seems to be warming up to him. After the walk, Clay paid close attention to the post-walk routine of wiping Abner’s paws and private areas by the door. I quickly booked Clay again for next week and I highly recommend him.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 5+ years for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I absolutely love getting to know every pet’s personality!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Reston
Susan is phenomenal!! She takes such good care of my Newfoundland mocha. She communicates very well and is always on time. She is also very flexible and makes having mocha checked in on a breeze. I will continue booking with her and would highly recommend her for your pets as well!!!
Jenn is seriously the best! We have three big dogs, so finding someone we trust who is comfortable with all of them isn’t always easy, but she is absolutely wonderful with each of them—and our dogs LOVE her! Her communication is great, and if she isn’t available at the exact time we request, she always lets us know what times she can do so we can adjust if needed, which is incredibly helpful. Good, reliable dog care can be so hard to find, and we’re so grateful to know we can always count on Jenn!
Nalelli and Alvaro were amazing and took such great care of our Remi! They were very caring, went the extra mile every chance they could get and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed while we travelled, sending us lots of pictures and status updates on how Remi was doing. Highly highly recommend!
Mary was absolutely wonderful with Annie! She was incredibly nice, reliable, and kept me reassured with great updates and pictures throughout the entire sit. Annie took to her immediately, even asking for belly rubs the very first time they met! I will definitely be booking Mary again and highly recommend her.
Met Delaney for a meet-n-greet before house sitting request later on in month. She's great...very personable, asked questions about routines with my dog etc. My dog seemed very much at-ease with her instantly. I'll definitely continue to request her services again based on this first visit!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Reston is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 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 15,423 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Reston. 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 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 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.
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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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.
