“Mamie was a great sitter and I will rebook with her next time we are in need of someone to watch our pets. She checked in at least twice each day with updates and photos, took our dog for daily walks, and gave our pets the care they needed while we were away. I would recommend booking with Mamie to care for your pets.”
“Gabbi was AMAZING! She really seemed to care for my pets and did a great job of keeping my home clean and tidy. I would 100% trust her again with my cat and dog!”
“Chelsea took care of our dog and two cats recently and did an amazing job. She really goes above and beyond and I will definitely ask Chelsea to help out again. Our animals have unique needs and Chelsea was able to do it all, the animals also had a great time with her!”
“Hannah was amazing with our pups. She was at our house during a storm which our one dog is afraid of and she made him feel safe and comfortable. Hannah is communicative and friendly. We know our pups were happy with her while we were away. We will be using Hannah's services again”
“Good communication, kind, considerate. She went above and beyond to make sure my "non-traditional" pets also had water in addition to my cat. She was respectful of my house, and I will be requesting her services again in the future!”
“I was so impressed with Audrey's flexibility, and relaxed attitude while taking such good care of Marco and Mia in my home. When something came up that needed special attention, she was on the solution quickly, which I appreciated immensely. I willdefinitely ask her to care for M&M again.”
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Abby was wonderful! Both of my dogs were exceptionally cared for. She kept me up-to-date while she was house sitting. She exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Abby for your pet sitting needs!”
“Natalie is the absolute best! We always feel comfortable with her staying with our 5 fur babies and she handles their idiosyncrasies flawlessly! Thank you Natalie!”
“Hannah is responsive and communicated well. She was available on short notice and was able to do a meet and greet prior to watching the gals this weekend. She sent pictures and updates and left the house as she found it.”
“Sarah stayed with Casper for several days while we were on a trip. She took great care of him! He clearly had a great time and she made sure he got his medication. She communicated really well and also took great care of the house.”
About: For 10+ years, I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors. Growing up with rescue pets, I have experience caring for anxious and distracted dogs. I also have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs with disabilities. I have a love for all animals, and can ensure great care, attention, and love will be given to your pet!! I’m currently working remote 4 days a week, with Monday as my typical day in office, although the day is subject to change per week. When working from home or on the weekends, I can let the dog out frequently, walk the dog everyday, play multiple times outside, pet and brush when inside, and give lots of attention to. I’m available to pet sit on my day in office as well, but the dog would not be let out between the hours of 7am-4:30 pm. When I pet sit, the dog is typically within my sight at all times. When at the house, the dog will be taken out hourly and played with frequently throughout the day. The water bowl will be refilled at least twice a day when food is given, or more if needed. Little objects or any choking hazards will be out reach for the dog, as well as food and other dangers. Walks will be given daily if the weather permits, as well as constant pets. Your dog will receive a lot of love with me!!
“Isabella stayed at my house for the week and was wonderful with my big pup. She was attentive and made sure to send me updates daily. Thank you so much for watching my fur baby!”
“Jackie is a fantastic sitter! Dexter warmed up to her quickly and she took such good care of him. She was extremely attentive to his needs and great at communicating and providing updates on how he was doing each day. I really appreciate how she went the extra mile to make sure Dexter felt comfortable, safe and happy! It was amazing to have peace of mind while being away that my dog was in great hands. Will definitely be hiring Jackie again!”
About: I've always had at least one animal by my side ever since I was an infant. My direct pet care experience includes dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, and fish. (Oh! I also would like to add two honorable mentions.. the toads and frogs I often see around my home. Although, there is no direct care, I like to think I have a relationship with each of them.) I currently have a family Golden Retriever named Sasha. We call her Sushie and Sashimi for short :) I've also have had the gift of being around friends' and families' animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, rats, cats, and dogs. Also, I used to volunteer at Animal Friends, which is now called Heal Animal Rescue. It was a great experience being able to care for dogs that didn't have a permanent home or company. Some of the care I gave included cleaning their kennels to ensure that each dog had a healthy environment to live in, exercising with them, ensuring they had fresh food and water, and simply offering them company, especially since their visitors may have been sparse outside of us volunteers and staff. Animals are God's precious creatures. Each and every one is beautiful and created by God. I believe that we have been given the opportunity to steward them well and with love. Thus, it would be an honor and privilege to take care of your precious loved one. My work schedule is partially remote, so I can be available on certain week days during standard 8:30-4 PM work hours. My remote days are currently Mondays and Tuesday. In the evenings and weekends, I can be free too with notice! To ensure the safety of everyone, I request a walk-through of items and places I'd be using at your home prior to care. This may include showing me important things like, how your pet gate opens and closes, how your front door locks, how to administer certain medicine, etc. I appreciate any and all information about the pet and home so that we can all have a lovely experience :)
“This is the second stay that Riley has had with our pets. As with the first, the care was excellent. Our cat needed extra attention because she has developed an eye condition. Riley did a great job! We appreciate her so much!”
“Mariah was excellent!!! I would give her more than 5 stars if I could. She was wondering with my dog's including my over peeing new puppy and even did some dishes and tidying up around my place. I would recommend her to anyone with animals that need care!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Rosslyn Farms is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rosslyn Farms
Lily was an absolute gem of a house sitter for us while on vacation. I was immediately struck by her level of care and commitment to my furry family. She was timely, communicative, and overall a superstar with superb attention to detail. She handled four animals (two cats, two dogs) without any hesitation. Our geriatric cat who requires multiple medications and special food can be intimidating, but Lily took care of her like a champ. I could not have been more impressed with the service she provided, and I will DEFINITELY be booking with Lily again in the future.
Kasey and Alyssa were the best dog sitters I could ever ask for! They checked in, sent daily photos, and were willing to stay an extra night when flight back looked like it might not be making it back. I knew my dog was in good hands with them and I would 100% rebook them!
Chelsea took care of our dog and two cats recently and did an amazing job. She really goes above and beyond and I will definitely ask Chelsea to help out again. Our animals have unique needs and Chelsea was able to do it all, the animals also had a great time with her!
Mackenzie watched our two dogs from 12/29-1/4. We have nothing but positive feedback. She stayed in our home and kept everything in order and our new puppy Penny is only 4 months old and I did not feel that I needed to worry about anything while on vacation. We loved seeing all of the pictures that were sent to us and would highly recommend d Makenzie for all dog sitting needs.
Shawnee was so wonderful with our dog Benny. He is an older dog with separation anxiety so we always feel a little nervous leaving him but Shawnee’s excellent communication, kindness and professionalism put us at ease. She followed all of our care instructions and took the time to get to know and meet his needs. I especially appreciated the photos and updates she sent throughout the stay—I could tell he warmed up to her and did well while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rosslyn Farms
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,453 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rosslyn Farms. 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 Rosslyn Farms 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 Rosslyn Farms 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 Rosslyn Farms 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.

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.
