Top rated Capitol Hill house sitters
“Thank you so much Diego for taking care of the girls. Without your help, I would not have been able to take the very important trip. Gertie and Gretchen will definitely miss having you here with them!”
“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”
“Alayza is a dog whisperer! She’s amazing, kind and patient. My dog has big stranger danger and fear aggression when meeting someone new and it seems he warmed up to her pretty quickly. By the second day he was cuddling with her and letting her pet him! I highly recommend Alayza!”
“Dahlya was an incredible find for our wedding and honeymoon! She gave us great updates and pictures, and the house was spotless when we returned home. Our pets are so happy and cared for and we'll definitely look to book her in the future!”
“10/10 would recommend! It can be a hit or miss finding a reliable sitter. I was sad when my old pet sitter moved away but then I found Carol! First and foremost Carol obviously cares about the well-being and comfort of your pets. She checks off all my boxes of what I look for in a sitter and it also helps that she sends cute updates and pics throughout the day. When I got home my place was as I left it and most importantly my dog and two cats were calm, as if I never left. I would definitely recommend Carol and I look forward to (hopefully) using her in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She went above and beyond caring for our Penny. We're still training Penny, who is a puppy, and Stephanie helped reinforce good behavior on walks and inside. Penny even got a nice massage and music therapy! We hope to have Stephanie care for Penny again.”
“Noah was an awesome sitter for my six-year-old pit mix! Very patient, flexible, and responsive, and left the house in great shape. I'd definitely recommend him and will book again.”
“Jenna and Matthew took great care of my dog Vlad! They sent lots of pictures, and knowing that Vlad was happy, healthy, and well cared for while I was gone gave me great peace of mind. I would happily recommend Jenna and Matthew”
“Nicholas was great with our 3 high spirited boxers. They can be a bit much with new people but they took to Nicholas and Larissa right away. Nicholas was clearly at ease with them and they had a good evening hanging together. Highly recommend!”
“Alona watched over my two dogs while I was away on a work trip, and she was great with communicating/sending updates with cute pictures. She was also flexible and understanding when timing needed to change a little, and asked great questions during our neet and greet. Definitely would recommend her and will be asking her to stay with them again!”
“Chantel is an amazing communicator! Sent us pics everyday of our kitties and made sure to keep us updated! Such a sweetheart, will book with her again, and you should too!”
“Annabelle was wonderful with Oliver—very professional and caring. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her, 10/10!”
“Abby was fantastic! She was responsive, communicative and easy to work with. Moreover, she took great care of my semi-anxious, rescue Pit. She went as far as getting up super early to take him to the dog park before other dogs arrived even though I offered other options. She was thoughtful in taking care of him and I can only imagine super patient with a pup who is still learning life in his new home. Thank so much Abby!”
“Emily was fantastic house sitting for my dog. She was very communicative and responsive throughout the stay and sent regular updates. I came home to a very happy pup!”
“María was kind and attentive to my senior dog while I was away. She was communicative and sent regular updates, and I returned to a happy dog. I would rebook and feel confident my dog was in good hands.”
“Nicole and Kieran were absolutely wonderful! They were incredibly patient with my anxious barky dog and made sure she felt comfortable. They provided updates and photos every day and took great care of my pets and home. I would rebook them any time!”
“Gabriyela is AMAZING! She is highly knowledgeable about everything related to pets. I have learned so much from her about how to care for my pup, and I feel very grateful to have met her. Thank you very much; we truly appreciate your caring for our furbaby.”
