“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!”

“Absolutely Amazing! Highly recommend. Very patient with our stressed German Shepard mix, she really took the time to work with him and was able to to balance his personality and needy behaviors along with our cat and her personality. Can’t say enough how I appreciate her help. Lucky to have found her.”

About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with over three years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as livestock. Working with a variety of animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and careful observation are when it comes to providing excellent care. I pay close attention to each animal's behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines so I can quickly notice when something seems different or needs attention. Caring for animals is a daily part of my life. Every day I care for my own animals, so I am used to maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring health and behavior, and making sure animals are safe and comfortable. Because animal care is already a priority in my routine, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins for clients' pets throughout the week. I enjoy building trust with animals and providing reliable care that helps owners feel at ease while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding instructions, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and give plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive individualized attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs.

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!”

“Alexa was an amazing house sitter for our dog, Cookie and my sister’s bunny, Hashbrown. She was incredibly attentive to their needs and took care of Hashbrown as she was sick while we were away. She was very on top of giving little Hashbrown’s medicine and spent lots of time bonding with her. Alexa made sure to give Cookie lots of attention and exercise and was very flexible to Cookie’s personality. Cookie seemed very happy and healthy upon our return and I could tell she enjoyed her time with Alexa! Alexa left our apartment spotless and even left us dinner and snacks for our return. We will definitely be using Alexa’s services in the future.”

“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.”

Karima was very communicative and sent us photos of both pets every day, and kept the house tidy while we were away. We will definitely use Karima again, as we came home to very happy and chill pets who seem to genuinely miss her now that she’s gone!”

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: 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.

“Highly, highly recommend Jordan. I have two active hounds, each benefiting from different activities to keep them happy. One thrives on fast walks/ jogs and the other prefers getting in his sniffs and watching crowds. Jordan is wonderful with both of them, intuiting exactly what they need. He has stayed overnight with them on three separate occasions and each time I came home to happy, relaxed pups (and very conscientious care of my home).”

About: I have sharpened my abilities in dog care and customer service, ensuring that the pets under my supervision receive the highest level of care and attention. My commitment to safety rules and adaptability allows me to handle various situations with ease, whether walking multiple dogs or catering to the unique needs of each pet. I possess a strong set of skills including cleaning, dog care, customer service, communication, time management, and problem solving. My strengths such as adaptability, responsibility, attention to detail, patience, reliability, and work ethic further enhance my ability to excel in this role. I have hands on experience working in professional dog daycare environments, including at Dogtopia and The Board Hound. In these roles, I cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments in a structured group setting. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, ensuring safety and positive behavior, feeding and basic care routines, and maintaining a clean, controlled environment. This experience helped me develop strong skills in dog behavior management, calm handling in high energy situations, and building trust with both pets and their owners. Currently Monday-Friday my availability is open. Have time in the morning, lots of time in the afternoon, I can also do overnight if its needed. I like to work with my clients to get an understanding of their pet's daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and special requirements.

Steven is absolutely wonderful. He has become our go to pet sitter. He gives our fur baby all the love and attention he needs when we are away which is HUGE with how anxious Chewie is. He messages every day, provided cute photos so we can see how well he’s doing, and keeps our home nice while he stays here. We are so grateful to have found such an animal loving and caring sitter. We will continue to rebook with him for as long as we are in the Virginia area. Cannot recommend enough.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Windbrook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 9,305 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.

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 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!

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 Windbrook. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
