“This was my first time having someone other than family watch my dog overnight, and Aliyah put any worries that I had at ease. She was able to follow all of my instructions, and maintained good communication with me daily regarding my dog while I was away. She even sent pictures and videos of him 😊 One thing that is helpful for my dog is his routine, and Aliyah maintained his normal routine without any issues. She also maintained a clean space while I was gone. I’d definitely book Aliyah again if I have to leave my dog overnight! She’s dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. My dog loves her! We are very appreciative!”

“Anna and Carlos took wonderful care of our boys, Vinnie and Beau! We were able to enjoy our vacation because we knew they were in great hands! Thank you for your attention to detail and daily updates! We can highly recommend Anna and Carlos!”

About: I have tons of experience not only as a pet owner but as a veterinary assistant, I am pretty efficient in dealing with even the most troubling pups and even have training experience to curve some of the most common but unacceptable behaviors. Pet care is almost therapeutic for me and I’ll treat your baby just like my own , I come with tons of advice from healthcare , toys and training. Basically if I know something about something you’ll know too. I hope that we can work together in the future to make your and your pups life easier. I also have experience with small mammals, birds and reptiles so feel free to contact me about any of your pets I will gladly help.
“Tia was an awesome, Dog Sitter for our 70 pound, somewhat anxious, rescue dog, Lucy. She instantly knew how to make Lucy comfortable and feel secure, which is no small feat. She was also completely reliable., showing up on time, responding quickly to questions, taking as much time as we needed during our meet and greet. I cannot recommend Tia highly enough.”


“Ada was amazing!! This was my first time using the App and she made me feel so comfortable. She agreed to a meet and greet prior to my house sitting dates and my dogs loved her instantly. She was very communicative and kept me informed on everything. As this was my first time leaving my babies with anyone outside of family, we were all a bit nervous and hoping this was a good match. My mom even checked in with Ada and she was totally cool with. My mom and dog both have dogs and we are pretty certain Ada has 3 new clients. Ada maintained my home wonderfully. She really was patient with and understanding and I would recommend her 10/10, especially for new clients.”

About: I've had pets since I was a kid, have taken care of even 3 dogs and 2 cats in my home before. I love all animals, including senior pets like my childhood dog who lived till 15 <3 I have experience with all kinds of temperaments, and would love to get to know + care for any of your furry loved ones! I'm currently a university student with my classes time blocked separate from the days I am available to pet-sit, so all my time will be dedicated to the care of your furry family member <3 I have 1 male Persian cat who lives with me, he has a very mild temperment and is very friendly to other cats! If your cat has need for solo care, I have space to separate them as well.
About: I’m very patient with all pets that are and aren’t mine. I treat all animals that are in my care with love and respect. Also, I make sure me and the animal are safe at all times. I have set schedule for my pets to make sure they eat, use the bathroom and play. When I go to work i have access to watch my pet through our living camera to make sure they are safe and happy. I have a set schedule with my fur babies. I make sure they eat and go potty at a certain time but also they have play time to run and burn energy in my big back yard
“Sereniti is super nice and took the time to come meet our pups before the actual sitting date so they could be familiar with her. You can tell she loves dogs, which was comforting for us. She sent lots of pics of our pups while we were gone too! Will definitely rely on her again next time we go out of town.”


“You can tell Kadyah has a true love for dogs by the care she gives them. I had her house sit my puppy and literally had so much peace of mind due to her frequent check in and updates on how he was doing. I highly recommend anyone to book with her. She did a fantastic job with meeting the many needs my puppy had. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Olena was fantastic! She was so helpful and caring towards our two large dogs. I got lots of photos everyday. She walked them often, and gave extra care for our golden’s hot spot. She let us know when she had any questions and was patient when I was slow to respond. She spent the nights in our home and was very respectful of the space. She even offered to vacuum when the dog hair started to pile up! She loved our dogs while we were away and we are so very grateful!”

“Emileo truly went above and beyond in every possible way while caring for our pets! Benji, Cleo, and Garp had the absolute best time with him and it was so clear they were happy, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. He was exceptional with communication, sending frequent updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel connected even while we were away. It’s rare to find someone this attentive, reliable, and genuinely invested in your animals’ well-being! He even went the extra mile by keeping our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. He took Benji and Garp on fun car rides and park walks, making sure they got plenty of exercise and enrichment. Benji enjoyed some much-needed playtime and fetch, while Garp, who is usually nervous and hesitant on a leash, was able to explore comfortably, which meant so much to us. We couldn’t recommend Emileo enough and would trust him again in a heartbeat!!”


About: Hi, I’m Sanyika! I offer thoughtful overnight and extended-stay care for pet parents who want their animals to remain comfortable in their own home and maintain the routines they already know. I’m a longtime homeowner, experienced house sitter and devoted cat parent to Cali and Mari. I have cared for cats and well-mannered dogs in homes ranging from small studios to large estates, with house-sitting experience throughout the United States and abroad. I work remotely as a wellness and relationship coach, which makes me especially well suited for pets who enjoy companionship and having someone present throughout the day. While I do have scheduled calls and occasional time away from the home, I am not rushing between multiple households or spending the entire day on a walking route. My approach is warm, calm and consistent. I respect each animal’s personality, follow the household routine closely and allow pets to warm up to me at their own pace. I also understand that caring for someone’s pets means caring for their home. I keep spaces tidy, bring in mail and packages, manage trash and recycling, water plants when requested and communicate clearly throughout the stay. For additional peace of mind, I hold an active federal Secret security clearance and understand the importance of discretion, reliability and respecting someone’s private space. My best matches are independent cats and small-to-medium, leash-trained dogs with established routines. I especially enjoy longer assignments that allow me to settle into a neighborhood, work, walk to coffee or yoga, explore a little and come home to keep someone’s pets company. Namaste Home while you’re away. 🐾🏡 I work remotely and can usually spend a substantial portion of the day in the home. My work includes scheduled video calls, so reliable Wi-Fi and a reasonably quiet place to work are important. I build feeding, walks, playtime and companionship around the pet’s established routine. I may occasionally leave for errands, yoga, meals or local activities, so I am best matched with pets who can comfortably be left alone for four to eight hours when necessary. Before accepting a booking, I confirm the exact schedule, how long each pet may be left alone and whether there are any dates when my work commitments could affect the routine. Every new household begins with a virtual Meet & Greet. I want to understand your pets’ personalities, daily routines, walking equipment, feeding instructions, sleeping arrangements and any household details that will help the stay run smoothly. Before you leave, when schedules allow, we will meet in person for a brief conversation where I ask that we confirm: • Feeding and walking routines • Veterinary and emergency contacts • Medications or health concerns • Behavioral triggers and escape risks • Alarm, key and entry instructions • Wi-Fi and workspace information • Household and sleeping expectations • Communication and photo-update preferences During the stay, I provide dependable updates and photographs so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe and comfortable. I promptly communicate anything unusual rather than waiting for a small concern to become a larger one. I do not take pets anywhere that has not been approved or change an established routine without permission. I treat your home as a private space and leave it tidy, secure and ready to welcome you back.
“Morgan was great with my 2 pups! He followed my instructions and went above and beyond to ensure my girls were well taken care of. I received daily updates and photos, which was great while I was out of the country. He brought in all my packages, bins and ensured I came home to a clean house. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been watching family & friends pets for years. I have watched their pets for weekends and as long as two weeks. I love animals and in particular dogs of all sizes. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs ranging from a Chihuahua to a 200lb Cane Corso. I can often be found walking and playing with dogs in Old Town's parks and sidewalks. I work from home and have no problem waking up early or going out late to walk your dog. I'm familiar with following strict care rules or lax "hop on the bed/couch rules". I am comfortable watching your beloved family member on the weekdays or weekendends. I'm an active guy and can take your dog out for a walk/then as needed. I'm a respectful person and have house sat/ watched the pets of the former CIO of the white house. I am happy to stay at your place, or stop by to care for your place/ pet as needed. I am also comfortable housing your pet in a 3 bedroom townhome - walking distance from a huge pet friendly park. I work from home at an Education Technology company and will take frequent breaks from staring at the screen to play with and give your pet attention.
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 6 years old, and I started pet sitting in elementary school. In the past I've watched dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, crustaceans, and reptiles. I make sure to treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently live with my cat the DMV area. Also, I painted the Big Blue Cat in Old Town Alexandria! I work from home remotely. This means I am often available to stay home with your pets or to check on them throughout the day! I am comfortable caring for multiple pets and kinds of animals at a time. I am also sensitive to the special needs of each pet. I'll take care of your fur babies and your home too.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistency and extra attention to senior dogs who require a gentler approach, medication administration, and specialized care. I am attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, and behavioral cues to ensure each pet receives individualized care. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give pet parents peace of mind. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddle sessions, or maintaining a pet’s daily routine, I am committed to treating every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I prioritize walks, feeding, playtime, and updates, ensuring every pet receives consistent, loving, and dependable care each day. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I provide a safe, loving environment and regular updates to owners.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windbrook
Aliyah was wonderful with our two young rambunctious dogs! She was incredibly communicative, shared frequent updates as requested, and made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She was great to work with, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We look forward to booking with Aliyah again in the future!

Steve has been sitting for us for over 5 years and I cannot say enough great things about him. The most recent stay was a very last minute request for help watching our dog and Steve quickly responded and made his schedule work to take care of her. We arrived home to find her in good spirits and the house taken care of. Thank you Steve!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 9,274 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Windbrook. 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 Windbrook 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 Windbrook 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Windbrook 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!

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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
