“Klaudia was a great pet sitter! She sent pictures and updates about our pup each day, which was really nice. She was easy to communicate with and we would absolutely book her again.”
“Don is a pleasure to have at our house. Our pets are kind of boring to watch because they do not do much but they get along well with Don. He checks in and is responsive. We will definitely have him watch the pets again!”
“Jina took care of our dog and home for 2 weeks while we were out of town. She was amazing. Our pup was well cared for and I so appreciated her daily updates and photos. Jina gave our dog his daily medication, took care of our plants, brought in mail/packages and cleaned up after our pup who likes to bring food across the floor. I highly recommend her and will be looking to use her services again in the future!”
“Jenny did a great job taking care of our hound at our house for a few days. She was very communicative, sending updates and pictures, asked good questions about Riley’s routine, and left the house clean. Riley was very well cared for with Jenny!”
“Xena was great with my dog, Penny! She took great pictures and sent updates throughout the day. She communicated well and I could tell my dog was well taken care of. Thanks, Xena! 😊”
“If Manju is available, book her! She was our house sitter and pet sitter for 17 days and we could not have been happier. She sent pictures and videos of our pets everyday and gave updates daily. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and is excited to spend time with them. I am already looking for ways to book her again!”

“Even as two very anxious pet parents, Amanda did an AMAZING job with our girls and gave us a great peace of mind that they were in good hands. She was also very communicative and respectful to our pets and home. She even did things we didn’t ask like tidying up the home a bit. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future and recommend you do too!”
“Heidy took such good care of of our dog and cat while we were away. Our dog is anxious and does not like change and she was so happy being with Heidy, who stayed at our house to keep them company. We would definitely use Heidy again!”
About: Hi! I'm Darling, and I'm someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. While I'm new to Rover, I've always loved spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'm responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddle time, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I know every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to make sure each one feels comfortable and receives the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I'm currently available with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or plenty of playtime, I'm happy to work around their routine. I believe consistency is important, so I'll follow your pet's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and at ease. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and exercise routines. I always keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and lots of attention. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“One of the best sitters I have had. Frequent updates, followed all instructions, went above and beyond. Dash was happy, well cared for, fed, clean, and loved. I felt completely at ease leaving him with Shannon.”
“Jeffrey was amazing with our 100lb American Akita for 15 days, constantly providing updates and pictures to ease my anxiety leaving my pet and home while out of the country! His experience with animals shines through in the way my Akita immediately fell in love with him. We would highly recommend him for your fur babies, and we look forward to booking with him again!”
“Mia was absolutely wonderful! I felt comfortable with her the moment we met. Her communication with us was great.Dusty was in great company. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Lauren stayed with our dog dog Kobe for three nights and was wonderful! She took great care of him and I can tell he enjoyed her company. We look forward to reaching out to Lauren for our future dog-sitting needs!”
“Taje was so amazing caring for our three dogs for a week. She sent daily pictures and communicated as much or as little as we wanted every day. We had special circumstances where one dog had to be consistently separated from another, and she handled that special situation with professionalism and expertise. Our house was cleaner than we left it (amazing considering how much our dog sheds!), and we had not one worry while we were away. We plan to use Taje again anytime we leave our house in the future!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Washington Grove
Abby house sat for us and provided excellent care for our 2 cats (1 very senior, serious old man and 1 young, skitzy girl). She did a great job managing complicated instructions and flawlessly cared for both cats. Abigail is a conscientious pet sitter and does a fabulous job!
We rebook Jony anytime we can…his care for our animals (dog, cat, chinchilla, and fish) and communication to us is exceptional. We recently adopted a new cat and his expertise helped us learn a few new things. We have booked him for staying at our home as well as daily drop-ins. Would highly recommend Jony.
Patricia is simply the best. Reliable and she knows pups and loves them; knows how to interact with them and, importantly, what questions to ask. We never had a worry or, frankly, second thought knowing she was providing care. We are so happy she helped and we will definitely use her again.
Amanda is fantastic with our 110-lb rescue German Shepherd, Gonzo. He has separation anxiety but you wouldn't know it when Amanda cares for him. He is happy, well-behaved, and totally comfortable with her. We left Gonzo in her care for six days and it was the first long vacation we've had in 3-years. We couldn't recommend Amanda more highly!
Addie was amazing! Our pup and Addie had an eventful week with a large thunderstorm that brought multiple house/yard issues. Addie was calm the whole time helping not only our pup but us deal with multiple situations from afar. Our pup was clearly well cared for even during multiple house issues. We cannot thank Addie enough for the car of the pup, but also the willingness to help above and beyond original plans due to unexpected house issues. She’s the best - cannot recommend her enough!
I'm so grateful to Romario for taking care of my senior cat, Neko, while I was away. Neko needs medication twice a day, and he's very shy, scared of strangers, and not easy to handle. I was honestly very nervous about leaving him, but Romario was incredibly patient and never gave up. He kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which meant a lot to me. Knowing Neko was being cared for made it much easier to enjoy my trip. If you have a cat who needs extra patience or medication, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Romario. Thank you for taking such good care of my little guy.
Luna stayed at our house with our lab for a week. Our pup seemed happy when we returned; Luna had to give her meds twice a day and follow her multi a-step feeding schedule. The house was clean and orderly ( and mail was picked up!). We hope to be in contact with Luna every time we have to be away from home she was great and communicative!
Carolina did a wonderful job talking care of our dog over the 4th of July weekend. She met with me before the weekend to meet our dog and understand all of her needs. She kept me updated during the weekend. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.
I was out of town and I got a alarm motion on my home camera and I saw FIREMEN in my house!! I texted Shannon and she jumped into action and she was at my house within 15 minutes to take care of my precious Cody. I Highly recommend Shannon and I will use her again.
Amanda did a wonderful job! She stayed in our home, following all instructions and leaving our house clean and tidy. Most importantly, she took great care of Winnie! We received super photos, so we knew they were playing and hanging out together. It was clear that Winnie was in good hands, whch allowed to have us a stress-free time away. Thank you!
My dog Roo had a wonderful time with Terra! She is professional, friendly, and sent me the perfect amount of updates while I was gone :) She took great care of both Roo and my house! I will definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Wilson watched our two dogs and our house while we were away. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous leaving them. However, Wilson did an excellent job from the Meet & Greet gaining our trust and the dogs. He sent updates throughout the week and even got our picky dog to eat her food. We would definitely recommend him and use him again in the future.
Julia is a wonderful, reliable and responsible person. She was absolutely great with my dog! He can be a little tough with some people but he instantly loved her and her calm demeanor. She took great care of our dog and stayed at our house for a week. She is great!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Washington Grove on Rover is $46.62 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 11,221 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Washington Grove. 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 Washington Grove 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 Washington Grove 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 Washington Grove 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.
