“Joanne was absolutely wonderful with our 2 senior dogs. One is a finicky eater, and Joanne worked patiently with her to get her to eat. She gave detailed updates and lots of photos. It was hard to trust a stranger to watch our dogs in our home, but meeting Joanne, I could tell they would be in really good hands. We have told all of our neighbors about Joanne, and will definitely use her services in the future. Even if we have to plan our trip around her availability :) Do yourself and your fur babies a favor, book with Joanne!”
About: Growing up, my family has owned many dogs and other pets, and I have always been heavily involved in their care. I had a dog walking business a few years ago, and I regularly watched the dogs of our friends and neighbors. My family also fostered a dog for a time, which I was heavily involved in. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to walk and care for many different dogs through Rover. Throughout all of these experiences, I have had to care for many different types of dogs, both big and small, and old and young. As a result, I am comfortable with all types of breeds and know how to navigate challenges when it comes to pet care. Most importantly, I love dogs! I am available every day of the week from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. I am very flexible and can always find time to accommodate other schedules. Please check my calendar for any days marked unavailable. When caring for dogs in the homes of others, I make sure that they are comfortable, well fed, and loved. When walking dogs, I always make sure to go at their pace, pick up after them, and keep them safe.
“Kalley stepped in after our usual sitter had to cancel. She took wonderful care of our senior/blind dog and kept us up to date. She left our house without a trace and even came back to check on our dog since she knew we’d be home late! Thanks for everything!!”
“Jo Anna went above and beyond for our dog while we were on vacation. It was so nice having peace of mind that everything was being taken care of, so we could fully enjoy some time away.”
About: I started taking care of neighbors' and friends' dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds when I was 14 years old. I love animals and wildlife of all kinds. I have been a cat and dog mom for 28 years and have had 2 leash and dog-reactive dogs (strong, 60 pound+ mutt and pit bull) so I am experienced in dealing with these situations. I have strong situational awareness with my head on a swivel when walking dogs. My senior kitty required specialized medical care at the end of her life with daily prescription medication and subcutaneous fluids. I have volunteered as a dog walker and cat snuggler at Friends of Homeless Animals rescue. I have been a social worker for 30 years and am nearing retirement from full-time employment. I would love to use my love of animals to continue working as a pet-sitter and dog walker. I am very organized, detail-oriented and will care for your pet as I care for my own. I would love to meet you and your pets to see how I can be of service. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday but am retiring at the end of September. My weekends are currently free. I have some flexibility in my weekday schedule so I may be available on a case-by-case basis for weekday dog walks that are in western Loudoun County and within a 10 minute drive of my home. I will care for your pet in your home so that they will be the most comfortable. I am available for overnight stays to keep your pet company and to provide close supervision, lots of TLC, food, water, potty breaks and anything else you may need. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. I am very detail-oriented, responsible and dependable. As a bit of an overprotective dog mom, I have needed to entrust my dog's care to a pet sitter. My dog is my world. So I know just how valuable trust, dependability and attention to detail are. What matters to you matters to me. I will follow your instructions down to the smallest detail. I will be diligent in communicating with you, sending regular updates and photos of your pet so that you know they are safe and happy in my care.
“Emma house sat and watched our dogs while we were out of town for 5 days. We had never used a house sitter before, and we were a little worried about the experience. Emma got ill with a virus the day we were supposed to depart. She could have cancelled at the last minute leaving us in a very difficult bind, but she did not. Although things did not go as smoothly as they would if she were well, she persevered and took care of our dogs and our house. Our rescued street dogs do not do well in the kennel so the house-sitting experience was positive for them. We will use Emma again!”
“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 4 years and currently share my home with 4 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals is just part of my everyday life. I’ve watched pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and I’ve consistently gotten great feedback for being reliable, attentive, and treating every pet like my own. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable, whether that’s a specific feeding schedule, playtime preferences, or more. Your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me! I’m home for the summer before starting full time work in the fall, so my schedule is wide open right now. I can do daily walks, drop ins, or daycare any day of the week, mornings or afternoons, without restriction! I’m also flexible for last minute requests since I don’t have a fixed work schedule to plan around. Once fall hits my availability will shift, but for now I have plenty of time to give your pet attention and exercise. I’m comfortable following whatever routine or rules you have set up, whether that’s feeding times, medication, leash rules, or specific areas your pet is or isn’t allowed in. I always make sure doors and gates are secure before and after walks/check-ins, and I’ll send updates or photos so you know your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
“Tori did a fantastic job with our dog. He absolutely loved her. She took very good care of home as well. She kept us updated and sent multiple pictures everyday. We will definitely use Tori again in the future.”
About: I love taking care of dogs, i’m very patient and understanding. I pay attention to detail and am very respectful of your house and dogs. I’m a college student athlete and I am currently on summer break so I’m available full-time and can work on weekends to fit your schedule. I love my dogs. I spend time with them daily and go on daily walks. I enjoy feeding and giving them treats and am flexible to any rules.
About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I have over 10 years of experience in dog walking/sitting. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to details. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, playtime, companionship, or a calm and gentle approach, I will provide care tailored to their needs. I am comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and maintaining routines to help pets feel at ease. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet like my own. I prioritize safety, communication, and reliability, and I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners while providing loving, dependable care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care. I enjoy spending time with animals and can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent so pets can maintain their normal routines and feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra attention and care, I am committed to making sure they receive the time and care they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and any special preferences. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection while maintaining the routine they are familiar with. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level so they feel safe and secure in my care. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to my surroundings, keep pets safely leashed when required, and monitor their well-being at all times. I also believe in keeping pet owners informed. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve while you're away.
About: I have taken care of, sat, and walked other dogs not just my own dogs for almost 10 years. I love dogs of all kinds! As someone who tries to maintain a balanced schedule, pet care is something I like to do when I have the free time during my day. I love giving my own dogs walks and I try to walk them at least once a day. Depending on what your rules are, I will respect and honor what you wish for me to do with your dog. I like to make sure that dogs are in the safest environment as well as being loved.
About: I grew up with so many animals and was taking care of them as soon as I could walk! We had at least 3 dogs at a time, a cat, etc. I love to take my dogs on long walks! I’m currently working at a restaurant during the weekday nights but available daytime and mornings! My family moved away and took the animals so I’m wanting that animal love back in my life! I just make sure they’re being taken care of and getting lots of exercise and pets! Pet affection is the best type of love and I miss it!
“This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Jennifer is wonderful with our pets and also very considerate, leaving our house cleaner than when we left. It's nice to be able to relax on vacation without worrying about how things are going at home. With Jennifer we know everything's fine. Highly recommend her!”
“Libby was great with our two dogs. One is blind and one is still in the process of house breaking. Both are so shy. She was able to win them over and support potty training! They just loved her. She sent pictures every day. She also took excellent care of our home while we were away. She’s all around an excellent choice and would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Libby!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Virts Corner
I highly recommend Braylee as a dog and house sitter. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism, responsibility, and care throughout her stay. She provided regular photo updates, maintained the home meticulously (including washing her linens and running the dishwasher), as well as watering plants and collecting mail. Most importantly, my dogs were calm, comfortable, and clearly well‑cared‑for. When they weren’t happy in their beds at night she let them sleep with her, their favorite thing to do! I returned to two very content pups which never happens after a trip to the kennel. Braylee is trustworthy, attentive, and goes well beyond expectations. I will gladly book her again.
Jaida stayed a week at my house with my very unsocial cat! I cant tell you how shocked I was to receive pictures of him being petted and sitting in her lap! She did an awesome job with daily pictures and friendly updates and my house was as I left it. Very happy to have found her and will 100% ask her to stay with Hobbes again. Thank you Jaida!
Suyen is wonderful. Our two dogs really liked her from our initial meet and greet through her stay with them. She has a very calming demeanor which is good as we have a two year old female GSD who is pretty high energy. Suyen played ball with her several times as well as lots of cuddle time with our other dog as that is his preferred activity. Suyen also took really good care of our home while we were away and it was a delight to come home to two happy dogs and a the house looking even better than we had left. We would be delighted to have her stay with dogs/ home again.
Natalie was absolutely wonderful with our pets! She kept us updated throughout the stay, made sure our dog was walked and our cat was taken care of, and clearly treated them like her own. It was so reassuring to be away knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!
Megan did an awesome job looking after my two sweet kitties! She provided timely updates with pictures and I could tell that she was genuinely happy to be spending time with them! When I returned, the house was super neat and tidy just as I left it. I would gladly have her watch my kitties again!
Great! Nina was exceptional at stepping in for a last minute save. She made me feel comfortable right away staying with my dogs, and took great care of them. I had daily updates, she asked questions to check on things, and provided pictures. My dogs were super happy when we came back. One dog seemed to maybe miss her and sat by the door? She had a friend stay with her who was also very nice. I would use her help again in a heartbeat.

FAQs for House Sitting - Virts Corner
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Virts Corner on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,955 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Virts Corner. 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 Virts Corner 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 Virts Corner 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 Virts Corner 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Virts Corner. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
