“She is amazing! Our dogs adored her and we felt totally safe leaving them in her care. Highly responsive. She helped us out last minute when our regular sitter had a scheduling conflict. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Tori was great, she took very good care of our home and dog over this past weekend. Tori sent daily status emails and texts with several photos included. These helped keep us informed of how Toby was acclimating as this was the 1st time we had left him home with a sitter. Toby seemed to enjoy his time with Tori, and they went outside to play a few times a day.”
“This is our second asking Cammy to take care of our cats and plants. She sends photos and updates each day and the cats love her! Our house looked better than we left it when we returned. She's the best!”
“Natali was great! She watched our 2 dogs in our home for several nights while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of your fur babies and responds promptly. She is also, do far, the only in-home sitter who respected our home. Highly recommend Natali!”
About: We have lived with both dogs and cats, plus fish and hamsters, through our entire lives and we look forward to making new pet friends. Hilary: As a home-school mom of teens and young adults I have a flexible schedule so I can work walks and pet check-ins around our other daytime activities. Scott: Semi retired and home based for business, my schedule is flexible. Having pets ourselves, we understand they do best in familiar environments. By caring for them in their own homes it should ease any stress they may have at an owner’s absence.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes; ranging from Chihuahuas to Labradors. Raised my 3 month pup till he was 16 so I can handle a dog at any phase. Currently I have no other job which means my schedule is quite flexible. My availability is Monday-Friday from 10am-10pm. New clients have to request a day before because setting up takes time. Clients already on file get 12hrs or less, depending on how booked I am. I would make sure a dog approaching is friendly and if yours is not I’d go another route to avoid complications. When I walk my dogs I make sure they poop before heading home so the same would go for yours. I would not try cutting the 1hr walk short.
About: Hello! My name is Eve, I’m 26 years old and I live in the heart of Warrenton, VA. I genuinely love caring for animals, it’s something I’ve wanted to do my whole life and I’m so grateful for any opportunities to work with some furry friends! I grew up around many animals including: Dogs (of all sizes), many cats, mice, hamsters, fish and more. I look forward to working with you! I work M-F from 3pm-8:30pm and Saturdays from 9am-noon. So that leaves plenty of time for your furry friends in the mornings/afternoons and weekends ! I have a small fenced in yard, as I live in a townhouse. However, there’s plenty of sidewalks and easily accessible parks nearby for playtime!
“Karen provided on-site petsitting approximately 10 days for us. We recently relocated to our new home from out of state and the extended time away from the pets was sure to be a challenge. We are very grateful for the assistance provided by Karen. Upon our return, all was good. The pets appeared clean, happy and healthy.”
About: I’ve had a dog my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with dogs that have different personalities, sizes, and energy levels! I treat every dog like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and happy when they’re with me I currently have a flexible schedule while I’m between jobs and looking for my next opportunity. This gives me plenty of availability to care for your pets and work around their routines Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and secure.
“Gabriela was a great house sitter for our energetic Aussie pup. Good communication, she sent us lots of pics. and kept him active and well exercised the entire week of our trip and everything was nocely in order when we arrived home. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Olga and Stepan took great care of both Loki my families cat and Rithie my dog. Asked very good questions on their care and comforted my dog when there was a thunderstorm :) I will absolutely be booking them agian”
“Melissa was an absolute dream to work with for my two standard poodles! She stayed at my house while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I came home, the house actually looked better than when I left it — everything was neat, clean, and in perfect order. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout the trip, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pups were happy and well cared for. I came home to happy, relaxed, well-exercised dogs who clearly adored her. This was hands-down the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had. I will definitely be using Melissa again for future trips! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Caitlin was awesome to pick up our request when we were unexpectedly delayed - she knows our pets well and could jump right in. Thank you! Continues to be highly recommended!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Warrenton
Lauren was great to work with and made the whole experience really easy. She communicated consistently and sent pictures of Harley, which I genuinely appreciated—it made it easy to relax knowing she was doing well. Everything went smoothly on my end, and I felt comfortable the entire time. I’d definitely book with her again.
Jarett was easy to work with. He was available for a video chat before the sit and made sure he was comfortable with the details of Mogi’s care. Provided check-ins as requested. Mogi was a happy girl when I came home and my house was clean and tidy. A big relief after being away.
Lauren was so wonderful! She is responsible and kind. My dogs are both quirky rescues and Lauren was kind and understanding of their needs (one of which needs medication 3 times a day). She has great communication skills and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.
Alan was great! This was our second time using Alan and we will definitely look to use him again in the future. Reliable, good communication, and our dog is happy when we return. He even stayed late on our day of return since we were returning late which was great especially since our flight was delayed. Thank you Alan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Warrenton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Warrenton on Rover is $50.65 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,523 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Warrenton. 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 Warrenton 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 Warrenton 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 Warrenton 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.
