About: I currently work as a bather at a grooming salon where I regularly work with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Additionally, I have worked as a vet assistant at a veterinary hospital in Fredericksburg ,at dog daycares, and at boarding facilities in the past, as well as have personally owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life! I currently work full-time at a grooming salon, but I find time while I’m off to care for pets! My schedule is available on my page. I have the utmost respect for both your home and your furry family members. As such, I treat every client, pet, and their property as if they belonged to family.

About: Looking for someone who will give your dog more than just a quick walk around the block? Hi, my name is Erin, and I am a dog mom to a german shepard mix named Max! I'm an active, reliable dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and giving them the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. I've been a dog owner for 5 years and have spent more than 15 years around dogs of all sizes. Over that time, I've developed a genuine love for dogs and a strong appreciation for how different every dog's personality, energy level, and needs can be. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love the opportunity to give them the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. I'm also a runner who trains for races year-round, so I genuinely enjoy being active. If your dog is happiest after a longer walk or has plenty of energy to burn, we're likely to be a great match. Whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll with plenty of sniffing or a longer, more active walk, I’ll tailor the experience to their individual needs. I understand that your dog is family, and I believe they should be treated with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own. Every dog has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I’m happy to follow your instructions so their time with me feels comfortable and familiar. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Whether you need a reliable walking buddy, someone to give your pup some extra attention during the day, or simply a caring person you can trust, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Reliable evening & weekend pet care for busy local families. As I transition into pet care, I look forward to gradually expanding my availability for mid-day walks and visits. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walking, medications, bathroom breaks, crates, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits, so you know your pet is happy and safe.

“This was our first time using someone outside of the family to watch our 13 year old dog. We needed someone who could stay at our house while we were gone because our dog wouldn't do well in a kennel type of environment. We were told about Rover by a friend and when I looked, I saw Warren's 5 star reviews. We had him come by and meet our dog and see if it he would be able to provide the care that our dog needed. Afterwards, we were convinced that Warren was the right one for the job. During our trip we were sent pictures of our dog and updates. After our return, we found that our dog was doing well and we were more than satisfied with the job that Warren had done. We would definitely recommend Warren to anyone in our area looking for a sitter, and we will definitely use him again when needed in the future.”

About: I believe you treat all animals like if they are your pet. I’m known to overly spoil my animals with love, funny voices, and care. I will keep you updated with pictures and videos and your pets are in exceptional care. I have an open schedule to cover their needs and care while I’m on duty and they become my family for the time they are with me. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over 15 years typically small and medium sized dogs. I do have experience with some larger breeds on basic essential needs and care. I went through a battle of IVDD with my French Bulldog who passed which took a role on how I view the time with animals in general. I have an open schedule and extremely accommodating to your needs. I can work around the necessary schedule. I work this full time and if I don’t have any sitting I also run deliveries. I have a safe and trusted environment. I have one dog who gets along with other dogs but he is hyper and wants to play and nap consistently. I have a cat who does her own thing so my house is relaxed. No little kids and just me and my partner which she works from home so there’s always someone at home.

“Jordan was wonderful! I needed a last minute house sitter and Jordan stepped up to the plate. He was very thorough and kept in touch with me. One of my cats needed eye drops three times a day and Jordan was a pro. He also handled a power outage and fridge leak very well. My cats absolutely loved him, and you can tell he genuinely cared about their welfare.”

About: Besides taking care of multiple different animals over my life, ive been walking dogs since middle school! Been my side hustle for a while actually, plus just like spending time with dogs Id tend to do if after or before work or if im in school i do it after my classes, mostly just making money on the side so it fits into my schedule pretty nicely I walk my dogs twice a day, and give them a strict eating schedule, also give them time to play and go outside even if its cold, i do wrap them up because they are smaller but its vital for them to get that exercise.

Communication was excellent from start to finish—I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving care. I will definitely be booking again!”

About: I've been around and taken care of dogs my entire life. Through my own pets along with friends and family, I've been trusted to care for a variety of dogs thru out the years. Thanks for trusting me with your best fur friend! I'm currently working PT and obtaining my yoga teacher training course so I have plenty of open availability for services whether thats dog walking or sitting. I have a fenced in yard where my own dog Cosmo plays and can certainly crate your dog if needed. I am also available for dog sitting and am comfortable with any home set up.

FAQs for House Sitting - Spotsylvania

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Spotsylvania is $41 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $51 per night. 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 772 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spotsylvania. 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 Spotsylvania 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 Spotsylvania 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 Spotsylvania 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 Spotsylvania. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
