About: I’m a warm, friendly, and dependable pet sitter who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young, and friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra attention and cuddles. I have open availability during the summer (June 13–August 10), which allows me to provide flexible visits, walks, and plenty of attention for your pets throughout the day. During the rest of the year, I’m available before 7:30 AM and after 3:30 PM on weekdays, with additional flexibility on weekends. I’m reliable and committed to making sure your pet gets consistent care, exercise, and love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having company. I always supervise interactions and make sure every pet feels safe and at ease. I treat every pet like my own and create a calm, loving environment while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Reston
I needed a cat sitter last minute for 4th of July weekend, and luckily I found Morgan for drop-in visits. She was very sweet and accommodating, and took excellent care of my cats. She provided detailed updates, lots of photos, and took the time to play and interact with them. I trusted that my cats were in good hands with her. I’d recommend Morgan to anyone in need of a petsitter!
Nalleli was wonderful! She accommodated my last-minute holiday weekend request and took great care of my three cats. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures during the visit, and gave me peace of mind my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!
Nicole is always our go-to! She is tuned into cat’s needs and personalities and really enjoys them! She’s also very responsive to my messages and I probably message too much. She not only provides wonderful care and communication, she also has a lot of knowledge and experience and I appreciate how many of my questions and concerns she will provide a full, well-thought out response to. Thank you so much Nicole!
Jennifer was wonderful with our cat Meep - he loved her and you could tell from her photos how excited he was to spend time with her every day! We were grateful for her thoughtful updates and hilarious pictures and memories were so glad knowing Meep was in such caring hands!
Colleen did a great job sitting for my two cats while one of them was sick. She gave me helpful updates, sent nice pictures and was also able to administer medicine. I felt really at ease after the first visit seeing how she was updating me, would definitely recommend her!
Caroline was amazing with our 3 kitties. She took great care of them, kept us updated and sent the cutest pictures. We have one male cat who can be a little tricky, but he took a liking to her very quickly and she knew how to handle him. She gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Reston on Rover is $21.17 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 16,372 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
