“Kelley was a thoughtful and caring dogsitter for our 12 year old dog. She sent us daily updates, comforted him during summer thunderstorms and genuinely cared about him while we were gone. We were anxious to leave him and are so happy to have found Kelley!”
“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!”
“Rosemary is an absolutely amazing sitter! She is responsive & caring, takes great pics & was a life saver for me…able to go over the medical needs of my dog post surgery the day before I left & put my mind at total ease…would highly recommend Rosemary to looking for a great sitter!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Claire provided for our two dogs while we were out of town! She was responsive and kept us updated with messages and plenty of pictures, which helped put our minds at ease. It was clear she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dogs and they loved having her around! She followed the care instructions we left, made sure our dogs were well cared for, and even tidied up before leaving. Knowing our dogs were in such great hands allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. We’re so grateful for her kindness, communication, and reliability — we would absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Amazing care and communication. Prompt, thorough, and engaged our pups throughout their stay. We over seeing pictures, receiving updates, and having the peace of mind that all was well while we were away. Love the mother-daughter combo!”
“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!”
“Asal was fantastic with our pup Luke. We had a last minute cancel and she was quick to schedule a meet and greet to secure the house sitting. She sent us frequent updates and was super detail oriented. We appreciated her specific questions regarding our pups special needs and felt more than comfortable with her caring for our boy. We will definitely have her stay with Luke 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.”
“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!”
“Kayly bonded with our animals so quickly and helped us feel at ease with leaving our older animals at home. Her communication was frequent which we loved! Highly recommend Kayly!”
“I had a last minute work request, and Elizabeth came through at a short notice and was fantastic! She is very well versed with adjusting to puppies and different breeds, and my Juni was more than happy to have Elizabeth. She sent detailed updates- which I more than appreciated as it helped calm down my nerves throughout my time away. I am so pleased with how flexible and accommodating Elizabeth has been (especially as this is my first time using Rover) and would highly recommend her for your pets!”
“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: Hi! I'm Lauren, lover of all animals who works remotely and would love to keep your sweet fur babies happy and comfortable while you're away. I'm a firm believer that our pets are happiest in their own homes, so I take extra special care to learn your routines and preferences so that you can relax during your time away knowing nothing will skip a beat. I have a car and can travel anywhere within 20 miles of Reston, VA. Can't wait to meet all my furry new friends! :) I work remotely, so I have plenty of time to play with, feed, and walk your pets all throughout the day. I'm an early bird, too, so will be up early in the morning with them to make sure they get lots of exercise and play time before my work day starts. Safety is a top priority for me. I'll have lots of questions for you about best practices for feeding/medication/walking/etc. with your animals depending on your unique location and your pets' needs.
“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 5+ years for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I absolutely love getting to know every pet’s personality! I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and cats to K9s and a 17-year-old dog who needed multiple medications and strict schedule. I also have 5 pets of my own (2 dogs and 3 cats), so I’m used to lots of love, different routines, and pets with all kinds of needs! Fun fact, I volunteer for rescue in puerto rico flying animals back to the states when I travel there. I’m currently in college, so my availability depends on my class schedule during the semester. However, when I’m home on school breaks, I’m completely available and would love to spend my time caring for pets! I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own home. I’m respectful of your space, careful with instructions, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!

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.
Nadia is the best - she’s so good with our cat and dog, they absolutely love her and are more affectionate with her than most people we know! We also love that she takes great pictures and sends us updates, she’s a wonderful communicator and such a respectful house guest - we always come home to our place looking better than when we left! If you’re looking for a kind, caring, responsible pet sitter who is GREAT, with animals, book Nadia - we have multiple times and will continue to do so!
Ja was incredible - truly the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! She was so responsive and responsible, gave so much love and attention to our cat and dog, left the house in beautiful condition, and asked excellent questions to make sure she could care for them as best as possible. We truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better - we will absolutely be asking her to sit again and again! She made herself available for us on short notice and our cat and dog immediately fell in love with her and had a blast! Thank you so much, Ja!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wolf Trap
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wolf Trap on Rover is $42.8 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 10,179 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wolf Trap. 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 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.
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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wolf Trap. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
