House Sitting in Columbia Heights, Washington, D. C.

“Sara has helped us with our two large dogs for several years. She has been a great help on our busy work days. She has also been amazing at training our dogs through positive feedback, affection and a firm hand. Sara has long experience with animals as a competitive horse jumper and a natural approach from the swedish countryside. I would definitely recommend Sara.”

“Emily was wonderful with our three pets including our reactive anxious dog! She was also very communicative throughout the weekend with photos and followed instructions very well.”

“Just came home after our first time using Rover for our 8 year old puppy, who is a ball of energy. Marshe was awesome! She is so nice and a great communicator. Cosmo really liked her too! He loved all of her attention and playtime; she really let him burn off his energy while house sitting. Cosmo is sleeping like a little baby and is happy as clam. 😀”

“Rachel did an amazing job putting our high maintenance, anxious beagle at ease. During the meet and greet he even fell asleep, which is saying a lot about how comfortable Rachel made him. She was also very gracious about being on call when our plane was delayed and stayed late. When we got home our dog was happy, and our house was clean (she even washed the sheets!!). She is a great communicator and gave use regular updates and pictures. Would recommend 100% and look forward to working with Rachel again.”

“Allison was a great house and pet sitter. She provided regular updates and when I got home my apartment was clean and my doggy was happy. My dog is reactive which makes me nervous when I leave her with sitters but Allison was reassuring and I was glad Mae had no issues.”

“Carmen was wonderful! We had an out-of-town family emergency and needed a sitter on very short notice. Carmen jumped right in and took excellent care of our very human-centric kitties and kept them fed, played with, and very relaxed when we got home. Will definitely use her again!”

“Zara did an amazing job looking after our new puppy! She was very punctual, diligent and flexible when we changed plans at the last minute. She was unfazed by all the ‘puppy’ things and I came home to find a very happy pup and everything nice and tidy in the house. Both pup and parents are very pleased and hope to use her again soon.”

“Heidy was a great house sitter! She kept up with my dog’s normal routine and sent the best photos and regular updates. Exactly what you would want from a sitter! She left my apartment in perfect order. Will definitely book again.”

“Rakia was great with our senior dog this weekend. She stayed with her overnight and made sure she was well cared for. I appreciated the text and pic updates!”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Stephanie house sit for me while I was away for a 6 day work trip/vacation. As a Doberman owner, finding someone who understands and connects with my dog, Ruger, is paramount. Stephanie exceeded all expectations and was truly exceptional in every way. From our initial meeting, it was clear that Stephanie had a genuine love for dogs and an understanding of the specific needs and personalities of Dobermans. They were incredibly attentive to Ruger, taking the time to learn about his routine, his likes and dislikes, and even his quirky habits. Stephanie’s approach was both professional and personal, which made me feel confident in their ability to care for Ruger in my absence. During my trip, Stephanie provided frequent updates with photos and videos, showing Ruger playing, going on walks, and even learning to have more focused and calm walks! It was evident that Ruger was not just being cared for but was also enjoying a lovely time. Stephanie also managed the house impeccably, ensuring everything was clean and in order upon my return. What set Stephanie apart was their ability to bond with Ruger. Dobermans can be selective, yet Ruger clearly respected with Stephanie, showing a level of trust and affection that he reserves for few people. This bond was the ultimate reassurance for me that Ruger was in the best hands. Stephanie is not just a house sitter; they are a compassionate and skilled individual with a deep understanding of dogs (and other animals). I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced sitter, especially for those with Dobermans or similar breeds. Stephanie has become my go-to person for pet and house sitting, and I am truly grateful for the peace of mind and care they provided. Ruger is even more well behaved than before and we are looking forward to having Stephanie over again!”

“Anna is very competent, caring and a good "reader" of what my dog needed. She communicated as needed and was clear and warm in her messages. I was very impressed with her abilities and would highly recommend her!”

“Leslie was wonderful! She was so attentive and doting on Buster. She was very transparent with her arrival and departure times and sent us photos and videos throughout the weekend updating us on Buster and how he was doing! We were very hesitant to leave Buster, but after a few hours with Lelise and her attentiveness, I became more comfortable with the process. She is truly the best and we cannot wait to use her again! Buster let her 'into his pack' which is hard to do, but it just goes to show what a great and trusting person she really is!”

“Diego was reliable and my pets seemed very comfortable with him. He worked extra hard to get my kitty her medication when she was being a cat and giving him a little grief. I appreciate his patience with her and with our doggo.”

“I HIGHLY recommend Camryn. My usual friends/sitters were unable to watch my dog while I was going to be halfway across the globe for 9 days - so I was nervous! I met with Camryn twice before I left (so Charlie could get acquainted and, let’s face it, so I could feel comfortable). My nerves were soon put at ease. She sent me daily photos of their walks and cuddles and asked me questions to verify his medication. And when I came back to my apartment it was clean and the bed was stripped so I get them washed asap. I will definitely book with Camryn again!”

“Dylan is very responsible and my preferred option for a dog sitter anytime I go out of town. It take a special type of person to walk my dog (he is handicapped) and I fully trust Dylan's ability to do so. ”

“Jackie was great with our two large dogs. She was communicative and easy to plan with - we had her visit our home before our vacation and she was responsive and on time. Our dogs seemed happy and healthy and the house was in wonderful condition when we got home.”

“Gilberto watched my 5 month old puppy and cat while I was out of town for the weekend. He sent me frequent updates with great pictures and videos, and walked and played with both the puppy and cat. He followed my feeding instructions for my puppy’s special diet, and also left my house cleaner than I left it! He also took really beautiful photos of both my pets that I’m planning to frame. I would highly recommend Gilberto for house sitting. He is fantastic!”

“My regular dog walker. Still sad about having to find Reece a new walker/sitter since Christal’s moving;( She let me know in about a month’s advance that she’ll be relocating out of state so I could prepare for a new sitter. I was heartbroken lol, but definitely Highly Recommend!”

“Ben house sat for us for a long holiday weekend and did a fantastic job! He was super friendly, great with our two large dogs, and was respectful of the house. The pups seemed happy and relaxed when we got back home. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend him to other dog owners.”

“Paul has been a wonderful sitter for the two times he has housesat for my rambunctious pit mix. He's responsive and very attentive to all care instructions. Will book with Paul again in the future.”
