House Sitting in Barnaby Woods, Washington, D.C., DC

“Summar is a wonderful, thorough, and thoughtful pet sitter! She took excellent care of our senior dog for 11 nights in our home. We really appreciated the clear & detailed updates she provided, including great photos and descriptions of the puzzles and fun they had together that day. Summar is so professional, patient & kind, and didn’t bat an eye at our long list of instructions! Our dog was clearly so content and comfortable staying in our own home under Summar’s attentive and sweet care. This was our first time working with Summar, but certainly won’t be our last! Her commitment to both pets and people is unmatched.”

“Marshe was great! She sent updates about my cats each day and was very good at recognizing what they each needed while I was away. My place was nice and clean upon my return as well. I would definitely use Marshe again!”

“Caris was so helpful when she sat Primmie. Caris sent photos and let us know that Primmie was adjusting to having a new person around. It was especially helpful because we went out of the country, so it made the trip extra relaxing to know Prim was in good hands.”

“Our dogs can be shy around people. They were immediately relaxed around Stephanie at the meet and greet. She was communicative leading up to the stay and sent us daily photos. We felt comfortable leaving our dogs with her and would use her again.”

“Karachi provided excellent car for dog and home while we were away on vacation. She was very responsive to my messages and she helped to coordinate a trip to the vet when our dog exhibited some health issues. She left our home in great shape. I highly recommend her for both dog and house sitting.”

“Mark truly connected with our three animals but was particularly amazing because he dealt with one of our dogs' major health crisis and was communicative, proactive, and caring the entire time. Without his swift action, our dog might not have survived. Mark is the best sitter you could ask for!”

“Gabrielle is a perfect dog/house sitter. She is communicative, leaves my home as it was found, and makes my (shy) dog feel very comfortable and taken care of. I would recommend Gabrielle to any dog parent :)”

“Excellent sitter. Takes great care of our senior dog when we are out of town. Good communication about how things are going and if she runs into any issues. We are a bit neurotic as our dog is a reactive Cairn Terrier, but Shamiso handles her well. Thanks for being a great sitter! Highly recommend”

“Very satisfied! We’d definitely book with Miguel again both for dog sitting and other Rover services. This was our first experience using Rover and we chose Miguel because of his previous stellar reviews, availability and price for services. We value his professionalism and friendliness. We appreciated his updates and pictures when we asked for them. Upon our return, our doggie was happy and well cared for and our place was in impeccable condition. Highly recommending him!”

“I can’t rave enough about Shamauri! He reached out before the visit to get reacquainted with our pets (he’s watched them before). They both remembered him immediately! You can tell they love his energy and feel super comfortable with him. Shamauri kept us up to date with daily pictures/videos. He was incredibly thoughtful in asking about our travel plans - even offering to take care of the animals an extra day in the event of flight delays. He also left the house clean & included a sweet surprise. We adore Shamauri and recommend him for all of your house/pet sitting needs!”
