“Rosemary did a great job house sitting for us for 9 days and taking care of our 2 small dogs. She is very responsive with communication, regularly sent photos, and kept us informed. Upon our return, the dogs were healthy & happy, and the house was neat and clean (with one exception - which was remedied easily enough). We appreciate her help and will call upon her again! Thanks Rosemary!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Christine! I have never used a pet sitter before and was very hesitant to try it. We were gone (Internationally) for over a week, as well as had a cancelled flight that we had to deal with, and she was a complete pro and was great with my 3 dogs! She sent many updates and photos every day. She made us feel so at ease leaving our dogs in her care so we could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future!”
“Kenia was absolutely wonderful, and I would book with her again without hesitation. This was my first time having someone stay overnight in my home, so I was naturally a little nervous, but she immediately put me at ease with her communication and professionalism. She respected my home and my space exactly as we discussed, followed every instruction carefully, and even took initiative when appropriate without needing to be asked. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Luna was well cared for, happy, and comfortable when I returned. It was clear that Kenia genuinely cared about making sure both my dog and my home were well taken care of. I truly appreciated her thoughtfulness, reliability, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Kenia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, respectful, and caring pet sitter!”
“Katy was such a blessing! She cared for my older pups as if they were hers, administering meds and eye drops as required. Always a professional, she kept me informed throughout her stay. Highly recommend this sitter! Sincerely hope to reschedule her in the future.”
“Kayly is AMAZING!!! She house sat for us and always communicated through texts and pics to let us know how our doggo was doing. She took Rizzo for walks around the neighborhood, played fetch with her, snuggled; all the things our dog loves :) She went above and beyond and we will absolutely be reaching out to Kayly again when we are away.”
“We felt so at ease having Addison at our home taking care of our beagle Hunter who was 9 weeks post back surgery. She took excellent care of both him and our home and we will absolutely be hoping to have her over 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 an animal lover my whole life, and with over 22 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, that passion has only grown. I have dogs and cats myself. Every pet I care for is treated like family — with patience, attention, and genuine love. I offer overnight stays in your home, in-home visits, and walks — tailored to whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be nerve-wracking — that's why I send photo updates throughout our time together, so you always know your best friend is happy and safe. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority, every single time. 🐾 My schedule is flexible. I'm currently a realtor in the DMV and can work my schedule into pet sitting. I can stay at client's houses too. For overnight stays, I stay in your home to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible — same bed, same environment, same comfort. I follow their regular feeding schedule, give plenty of playtime and affection, and make sure they're never alone for long stretches. For in-home visits and walks, I come to you on the schedule that works for your pet — whether that's a quick midday potty break, a feeding visit, or a full walk to burn off energy. Each visit includes fresh water, playtime, and lots of love, tailored to your pet's personality and needs. Throughout every service, I send photo updates so you can see first hand that your pet is happy, relaxed, and well cared for — even when you're miles away. With 22+ years of experience, I've learned that every pet is different, so I always adjust my approach to match their individual routine, temperament, and comfort level.
“Tionna took great care of my dog, respected my house, and maintained my house clean, my dog had an infection in his eyes and she cleaned his eye every day and put all his eyes drops, when I came back from my trip his eye was a lot better. Thanks Tionna! ???”
About: I have always been a reliable neighbor in taking care of their pets when needed wether that would be extended periods of time or once. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I care for my pets at home as well as in college for animals from local shelters. I will make sure that they are not forgotten. I will make sure they’re fed, clean, loved and hydrated. They will feel right at home!
“We needed a sitter on really short notice and Christyn was available. She sent pics of our dogs showing how they were, our hound took to her immediately. Thank you for taking care of our pups! Definitely recommended!”
“From our first meeting with Perry, we knew our beloved dog and cat were in great hands. Perry was extremely sweet, gentle and thorough caring for our senior dog and spent time getting to know our shy kitty, Eddie. Perry’s communication is excellent. She sent us lots of pictures and videos. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our dog and cat were not just walked and fed, but loved on. Our home was kept tidy as well. She is definitely on our favorites list!”
“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”
“Kelley is just a gem. She was extremely patient wirh Ariel and she was super communicative and responsive. I felt my pup was well taken care of and I got updates throughout the weekend. I came back home and Ariel was calm and happy. I recommend Kelley 1000 times”
“Maureen is very responsive and kept me posted about Izzy. She took great care of her and went above and beyond to make sure Izzy was cared for while I was away. I had no worries and never do when Maureen cares for her!”
“Katherine did a great job communicating with me and taking care of my dog, Luray! It was the first time I have used Rover for an overnight stay and it was a great experience because of Katherine!”
“Amanda is absolutely amazing. She thinks ok care of my 3 dogs while I was in Europe, texting me photos and updates every day. She even took one to a vet appointment. People working in my house, and the vets, all told me how wonderful she was. The dogs loved her. She is y to he only reason I could enjoy my trip without worry. I cannot recommend her more highly.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wolf Trap
Joy really was great with housesitting our senior 14-year old dog - our neighbors gave us positive feedback. She was diligent, followed all of the feeding and care instructions, plus was nice enough to water our plants as well. Both this time and the previous time she was very flexible with her schedule when our dog's schedule (or our travel changes) required it. She left the house in the same condition she found it, which is great. We would definitely recommend her as a trustworthy house/ pet sitter.

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 Wolf Trap 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 Wolf Trap 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 Wolf Trap 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!

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 .
