“Maggie house sat for us during our long weekend and everything went great! Our dog was well taken care of and the house was clean when we got back. Thanks again for everything!”
“Wonderful sitter for our two dogs! Great communication, dependable, and clearly cares about them. We came home to happy pups and couldn’t be more pleased.”
“Cassie was absolutely amazing with our old rescue!!!! We had a family wedding to go to out of town then got hit with the snow storm and she stayed an extra day to make sure our girl was taken care of and communicated so well that I didn’t have to stress at all about the situation. Honestly we couldn’t be more grateful for her taking her time to understand our dog and take care of her.”
“Mansa took wonderful care of our mini dachshund Izzy. She was super easy to work with and I especially appreciated her regular updates and photos. We will definitely consider hiring her again for our next travel.”
“Claudia was amazing as usual! She was amazingly flexible with an extended, weird sitting schedule and my pup always seems happy and well cared for on my return. Book with confidence!”
“Elsbeth was absolutely wonderful with our pup while he was on activity restrictions! She was kind, compassionate, and understanding of all of his quirks and did a great job keeping him occupied. She was also extremely responsive and I trust her fully to care for any of my pets in the future. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Katie watched our pups on a recent trip we took and everything went great. She gave us regular updates and pictures, took great care of our animals and house, and we hope to book her for our next trip! We really appreciated how she communicated with us and how happy the animals were in her care!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Adina! She was the first pet sitter we have used and we were very nervous to leave our 2.5 year old Cavapoo, Henry to go out of town. Adina was fantastic throughout the entire trip. She stayed at our home and sent photos and updates everyday to let us know how things were going. She asked great questions, and you can tell she truly cared about wanting Henry to be happy and comfortable while we were gone. The peace of mind knowing he was with her gave us a chance to be present for our trip without any worry. Couldn't ask for a better sitter, 11/10 <3”
“Kathryn is amazing, terrific, wonderful. My dogs adore her - fight for her attention every time I see her. She has fantastic communication and follow through. I feel so fortunate to have her taking care of my babies.”
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
“Marie was such a great dog sitter for our two senior pups! She gave us updates on their day, photos, and I can tell that the dogs had a wonderful time. They went on many adventurous walks. She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Amina was phenomenal throughout her time, caring for our dog. She was amazing at sharing updates and caring for our pup while we were out of town. I would absolutely ask her to sit again and recommend to any of my friends and family.”
“Ya Lun was absolutely lovely to work with and she was so great with my Lacey. She was very communicative and made sure my girl got all the care she needed. I highly recommend her!”
“This is the second time we have used Luliia. She is just fabulous with our dog, Addie. She lives at our house when we’re gone. When she arrived this time, Addie went crazy. She was so excited to see Luliia. She knew she was going to get lots of attention and love. We will hire her again.”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job caring for my pets! She was reliable, attentive, and provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pets were happy and well cared for, and I truly appreciate the effort and love she put into her work. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
Fairlington-Shirlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Vanessa has house-sat for me twice within the last month or so, and each time, she has absolutely crushed it! She's extremely communicative and asks all the right questions, which shows me the level of attention she gives to each of my boys. I couldn't be happier to have her and will definitely have her back. :)
Laura did a great job caring for my dog and cat while we were out of the country. She was willing to come to a meet and greet, and I felt like my elderly dog with lots of needs was in good hands. She was very communicative and I would definitely book with her again.
Ciara was truly the perfect Rover experience. I was looking for a new reliable sitter since my previous one had moved away and she was nothing short of amazing. Constant updates and pictures were provided without me asking and was extremely considerate. Will definitely be booking her again.
Lauren took such good care of our FOUR pups for a week in this crazy snowstorm! She is literally super woman and we are so thankful. When she arrived, we found out one of our dogs had gotten into the front yard and she immediately let us know and took care of the situation. She catered to our dogs unique needs, took good care of them and left our house spotless. She also sent lots of photo updates and made us feel at ease. 100000/10 would recommend. Do yourself a favor and book with Lauren!
This was my first time leaving my dogs in the care of someone outside my immediate family, and I was extremely anxious. Before the trip, Eric took the time to meet with me and my pups, carefully taking notes and making sure the dogs felt comfortable around him. I truly appreciated his attention to detail. While I was away, Eric was very communicative, sending at least one detailed daily update with photos. My dogs were clearly well cared for and happy!
Fabulous pet sitter! Olena took care of our cat and dog in our home. She was a great house-guest and was wonderful with the pets - they took to her right away. Our dog apparently never left her side and always wanted to cuddle. We received pictures regularly of them eating, playing, and on walks. Very happy and would definitely book again!
I HIGHLY recommend Morgan! She took care of our pups like they were her own. She was very respectful of our space, our dogs’ needs, and extremely communicative. She also gave our dogs oral meds and eye drops. She even got my grumpy old man to warm up to her! Can’t recommend enough.
