House Sitting in Columbia Forest, Arlington, VA

“Rosemary is so kind and attentive, she took excellent care of our pup! She was sensitive to our dog’s reactivity and spent lots of time with him while we were away. Our dog was calm and happy on our return home and it was clear that Rosemary took great care of him. We will definitely book with Rosemary again in the future!”

“Christina is amazing! I was very cautious about hiring just any Rover because I live in a busier area where there is a lot of traffic - I wanted to make sure that Max and Bailey would be safe during their walks. Christina was amazing with their walks, and I could tell she's very careful and loving with the pets. Our babies absolutely adored her, and I did not worry once based on the updates and photos I received while I was away. We will continue to use Christina as our regular sitter as our babies love her, and we do too!”

“Five stars! We have an 5 yr old Aussie, a 1 ye old unsocialized COVID Pomeranian, and an 11 year old cat. Anthony house sit for us for 5 nights, spending the nights at our place with these babies and ample time during the day. He texted us when he was leaving and how long he would be gone from the house. Communication is everything!!! He kept the house in great shape (better than before we left!) and the pets were happy and healthy and well cared for. He sent pictures of our pets while we were gone and texted questions for clarification when he needed it. He scooped the dog poop from the yard so when we were home it wasn’t a mess (we didn’t even ask him to!). We were nervous to have been gone so long but now we know we have someone we can trust while we enjoy ourselves and our babies are cared for. We’ve already booked him for another long stay this summer :)”

“Sarah took great care of our elderly yorkie and left our home in a beautiful state. Sarah kept us in the loop throughout her visit, and our yorkie was relaxed when we came back home. I would highly recommend her services”

“Highly recommend Kylee! She is very friendly, organized, reliable and took wonderful care of our three dogs while we were out of town. Kylee sent us a few updates daily and sent pictures to give us peace of mind. The house was also kept nice and neat! We look forward to having Kylee housesit in the future!”

“Was extremely responsible, communicative, and kind! I know my dog had a great time with Chelsey and I didn’t have to worry for a moment. Will most definitely look to book again.”

“Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Sade was excellent! I booked her for a long house-sitting to care for both of my cats and they really enjoyed her. One cat is incredibly anxious and often never comes out with strangers, and the other is a kitten that hadn't known me to be gone overnight before. After a few days both cats were out relaxing and playing as normal with Sade. Sade provided daily updates on my cats while I was away and my place was in perfect condition when I returned. I'll definitely book again!”

“Tara was amazing. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures. She took great care of my baby and I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Tori was great housesitting for my 2 year old pup! She was very reliable, helpful, responsive, trustworthy, and sent great photos! So happy with our experience”

“We booked Carrie for a 12 day stay a few months out, but needed her sort of short notice for just an over night stay with our pups. She was able to accommodate us and she took such good care of our pups! She sent pictures, updates and cleaned up after herself like she wasn’t even there :) We are so pleased to have found her and know that when we will be gone for a longer period of time, our boys will be in the best of hands! As a Rover sitter myself, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Jenna was great! It was our first time using a sitter from Rover for an overnight stay while we were away for a long weekend. She was able to come do a meet and greet with short notice and was so attentive to our needs and instructions! We have a very large friendly dog and she was not hesitant at all. She gave frequent pics and updates. Our cat and dog were relaxed and happy when we returned. We felt at ease knowing she was at our house with our pets :)”

“Amina was lovely - responsive, flexible, responsible. She was very flexible at finding a time to meet our doggies before our trip, and she was very communicative. When she came by before the trip, I could tell immediately how much she really loved dogs. During the trip, she took great care of the house, and sent us regular updates of our dogs’ activities. I highly recommend and we’ll be asking Amina for her help again!”

“Gianni was an amazing sitter! She was very responsive and great with my dog, was so great to have the peace of mind while out for the evening. Will definitely rebook with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Jess was amazing. She really showed such love and care for my cat Goldie while I was out of town. Jess administered all of Goldie’s medications effortlessly. And, she reported with great detail the health and well-being of my cat at each visit, sending pictures and videos. With Jess’s each visit, I could see Goldie warming up, feeling safe and happy. I highly recommend and look forward to working with Jess again.”

“Erika was amazing with Mila! She sent plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay and I could tell how much Mila loved her! Would absolutely book again!”

“Cheyenne was great. She took excellent care of my special needs senior dog. She is a good communicator and provided regular updates. I would definitely book her again.”

“We are very grateful and appreciative for Michelle's help with taking care of our two pups. They loved her and she was a terrific house-sitter and caretaker. We hope next time we need help Michelle is available.”

“Jade was very responsive throughout the experience and is a really sweet person. She also sent frequent updates with pictures throughout the night which was appreciated. When I got home, Vida and Nutella were in such a good mood- you could tell they enjoyed their time with Jade!”

“Aly is my go-to person for my pup, Winnie, and takes the best care of him I could possibly ask for. Whether it’s playing with him for a few hours, taking him on a walk, watching him for a weekend, or caring for him while I’m away on vacation, she goes above and beyond to make sure he is treated well, stays healthy, and feels loved. She’s reliable, sends great updates, and always puts Winnie’s safety and care first. She’s never had problems following my specific instructions for his care and she treats my space respectfully. I completely trust her with Winnie and recommended her to all our local friends and family!”
