House Sitting in Clarendon-Courthouse, Arlington, VA

“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!”

“Anthony was great with our dog, cat, AND hedgehog. Very patient with our elderly pup—Anthony was even able to convince him to go on a walk. There was great communication while we were away to make sure he understood everyone’s needs. We look forward to having Anthony stay again next time we go out of town.”

“We have used Rachelle a few times now. Twice for day trips and most recently for several days and over nights. My animals bonded with her instantly. Even my cat that’s can not be bothered to like anyone loves Rochelle. I never worry about them when she’s with them. She seems to really care about the animals. Beyond that she leaves my apartment as she found it no matter how much I tell her to make herself at home. We highly recommend her and will continue to use her in the future!”

“Kylee did an amazing job with our anxious pup! She couldn’t have been more patient or inventive, and our house was in great condition upon our return. We’ll definitely use her 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!”

“We have never left our two dogs alone together with someone because they don’t always get along well! Sarah was a life saver by taking care of them separately to keep them from from getting into arguments, even if that meant playing with them and taking them potty completely separate. Really double the work!! She was in contact with me multiple times a day and let me know when any issues happened!! She was able to manage both my cranky old yorkie and my strong pitbull ! I will only book with Sarah again in the future !”

“Sade was so compassionate with Max and not rushing him to get to be comfortable with her and gave him time and space. It also helped that Max was in his own home and Sade took care of my place as It were own. Would love to book again with her for future dates.”

“Mansa took great care of our pup and our home. She kept in touch while we were gone (sending along pics and updates), and we came back to a happy pup!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Raakhee. We hired her to stay in our home overnight with our senior dog who doesn’t like too much alone time. She was so responsive, professional, detail-oriented and respectful of our home. It was as clean (if not cleaner) than when we left and she changed the sheets without being asked knowing our flight would be arriving late and we’d be tired. Some people are just very helpful intuitively and that was Raakhee. Her communication about Max was perfect. We got lots of photos and videos so I knew he was doing well and not to worry about him, but not an overwhelming amount. She clearly took great care of him and loves animals and it shows. We would not hesitate to hire her again. My only complaint might be that Max didn’t seem as happy to see us arrive home as he normally does! He’s ready to have Raakhee back.”

“I’ve had three other dog sitters from rover before, and they’ve all been truly amazing. Shereen, however, was the best sitter I’ve ever had and it’s not even close. Our rescue dog is incredibly challenging, high energy, strong, petrified of strangers, and reactive; but Shereen won her heart over, took amazing care of her, handled everything our dog threw at her, sent amazing pictures and updates, knew exactly what to do, and even managed to train her in being less leash reactive! Thank you Shereen for being so amazing! If you can hire Shereen, do it!”

“Amber was fantastic with our two dogs. She sent lots of pictures and gave updates through out. She took great care of them and they were happy and relaxed the whole time. Thank you!”

“Yana was great with scooter. He was being pretty difficult and growly and she was so patient with him! She also sent tons of updates. We will definitely be booking with Yana again”

“I wish I could give Caroline more than five stars to convey how wonderful she is. She just house-sat for me and my husband for five days when we went out of town for our wedding. This was the first time I have ever left my dogs with someone other than a family member. I was nervous because my pups have some particular needs, and I am pretty overprotective of them. I’ve had a few incidents in the past where they’ve gotten out and I’ve had to chase them, leaving me feeling traumatized and reluctant to leave them for any extended period of time. But I felt like I hit the jackpot finding Caroline. She truly went above and beyond to ensure my dogs’ safety and happiness while I was away and gave them lot of love and attention. Caroline knew I was nervous and sent me regular pictures and updates to reassure me while I was away. She also took amazing care of our home. It was such an great feeling to be able to properly celebrate my wedding knowing my dogs were safe, healthy, and happy in the care of a wonderful person. After Caroline left, my dog Sammy cried and looked all over the house for her! I give her 5 million stars and will absolutely be booking with Caroline again if she’ll have us :)”

“Thank you so much, Samantha!!!! Thanks for taking such great care of Jellybean and for giving her love during her least favorite thing (thunder)”

“Zarie is an excellent choice when choosing a pet caregiver. She watches pets for friends and coworkers. She sticks to all instructions while giving time and care to your furry friend. She sends updates and pics keeping you informed to put a smile on your face. I would definitely recommend Zarie, she’s very dependable and reliable!”
