Renee was wonderful with my pup and cat. She adapted without a problem when Truffle got an injury right before we left and suddenly had to take medications that he usually doesn’t have to use. Renee was able to get him to take the meds without a problem and keep him comfortable. It was obvious that our pets were well taken care of and Renee stayed well beyond the scheduled time to be present when we arrived.

Nicole was absolutely fantastic with our St. Bernard, Layla. Because Layla is so large, we’re always a bit nervous about who can confidently handle her—but Nicole immediately put us at ease. She was calm, capable, and incredibly playful and loving with Layla from the start. Nicole was also very communicative and proactive throughout, keeping us updated and sent us photos. We would highly recommend Nicole and will absolutely be working with her again!

Oriana was fabulous when staying in our home and taking care of our 12 year old Havanese. First, she offered to do a meet and greet in person before our vacation. Then while we were away for 10 days, she sent daily photo updates and was extremely responsive. She left our house in even cleaner condition than it was when she arrived, and was even thoughtful enough to replace the milk in our refrigerator. Would love to have her again and highly recommend Oriana!

We hired Lisa for a last-minute trip to visit family, and she was a fantastic housesitter. From the start, she put us at ease and we felt confident our two cats would be well cared for. She was super communicative, sent frequent photo updates, and was flexible with our changing plans. When it looked like our dog care might fall through, she was even willing to step in and help with her too. Lisa went above and beyond - she assured us she’d check in on the cats again if anything came up with our travels, and we came home to an impeccably clean house. She even washed the sheets, which made coming home that much better. We’ll definitely be hiring her again!

VIVIAN was amazing. She took incredible care of our puppy and even remembered everything and did excellent with our puppy who is on the raw diet. She was communicative, sent photographs and absolutely gave the best care and the best job that we could ask. I would certainly use her again and again. if I could give her more than five stars, I would.

Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!

I have an elderly arthritic dog who has lots of needs and lots of meds. She did great with him and went above and beyond. She even offered to take his 95lb fluffy butt to the groomer when she noticed some irritation on his skin. She’s very communications and responsive and we will definitely book again.

We booked Ella last min due to our previous Rover sitter canceling the night before our trip. This is the first time we booked a sitter without having met them prior, so I was a bit nervous. Ella was fantastic, the dogs loved her immediately, she was punctual and kept to their routine/schedule as closely as possible, and provided many updates throughout the week. Would book again!

I recently booked Juan to stay at my place while traveling and he did a great job. He provided me with daily updates about the walks, potty times, and feeding (since my dog is a little picky eater). He definitely took care of my dog as if he was his. My place was left cleaned and organized. I will add Juan as my primary in house dog sitter. Highly recommended. Thank you Juan!

Not only do my girls adore her, we do too. I don’t worry when Summer is watching the girls. Summer knows I’m anxious based on a trauma with another sitter so she is very reassuring and sends lots of pictures. 💙

Sabrina provided detailed updates and sent plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious she took the time to get to know Bella and make her feel comfortable. Bella can be particular at times, but Sabrina handled everything wonderfully. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
