“Sun did a fantastic job watching my dachshund over the weekend at my condo while I was out of town. I found her to be thoughtful, patient, communicative, professional, and kind. My dog has had a complicated year medically and I felt that Sun listened to all my concerns and went above and beyond to make sure my little guy was comfortable. She also did a great job with my two guinea pigs. I will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Karachi was great! She watched our exuberant 2 year old, 50 pound dog Luna for a week; she was reliable, dependable, and took great care of our girl. She sent us pics every day and told us how Luna was doing. She went the extra mile to come and meet with Luna before we left so Luna would be more familiar with her. She is very responsive; always answered texts immediately and kept us apprised of things. She was a perfect guest; the house was in immaculate condition when we came home. I would definitely hire her again to watch our dog. Luna seemed happy and she got the walks she needed. Karachi is a mature, poised, caring and dependable dog sitter.”

“We were extremely impressed with Summar’s care for our pets- 2 dogs and a cat- for 2 weeks. M She kept us informed on a daily basis, allowing us to enjoy our vacation without any concerns. She handled a couple of unexpected events with great professionalism- she really is a pro. And a warm and caring person with great pet sense- our normally standoffish cat warmed up to her immediately. Summar is 5 star plus in our book.”


“My dog Mila has a new friend :) Molly took great care of her and my home! She asked good questions on our initial walkthrough, and sent frequent updates and photos. I would be happy to hire her again.”

“Halle is absolutely phenomenal! She exceeded all my expectations and needs taking care of Tommy and my apartment while I was away. She is very communicative and had the cutest updates throughout the booking. She made my trip so easy to enjoy knowing everything was being take care of — I absolutely recommend her in the DC area!!”


About: I have been taking care of my two dogs, Sophie and Chase, and my cat, Shadow, for most of my life. My parents are very busy with work, so originally my dogs would be stuck outside or in a cage all day. Obviously I felt this was negative for their livelihoods so I stepped up and trained them to the best of my ability. I found the toys they liked and the best ways for them to learn. Eventually, they were able to be calm and comfortable inside the house at all times. I care for my pets with great love, kindness, and consistency and I would do the same for your pets. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can come multiple times throughout the day, working around when you need me. I will care for pets in my client’s home in the manner that my client states. I will ask specific questions indicating everything that their pet can use and play with, and areas that we can walk to for some outside time.
“John was fantastic! He was very attentive to the directions we gave him and made sure their routines were not disrupted. He also gave timely updates and has a knack for animal photography. John was also very responsive via text. Our dog and cat look forward to the next time my wife and I are out of town!”

“Erica was on time, friendly, and bonded immediately with Koko. She took great care of our home and our dog. She’s dependable and we will use her again.”

“Mark did a great job with taking care of my high-energy dog, Atlas! He took him on long walks and hikes to help burn his energy. He clearly loves what he does, and I would trust him to take care of Atlas again!”

“Nicole was very communicative, followed instructions, and clearly made our dog feel very comfortable. I really appreciated how much she took our dog’s medical condition and needs into account. We would definitely work with Nicole anytime we’re planning a trip away!”


About: My mother used to train dogs when I was younger so I’ve been around dogs ever since I was born. My older brother has been taking care of dogs and boarding for years and I help him out with his process Right now I’m taking a break from school so I am available everyday! When I go back to School my schedule will remain mostly unchanged. I respect unfamiliar pets personal space until they get used to me, when walking dogs I am very observant of my surroundings making sure there is no danger. I typically let out my dogs 5 times a day for around 20-30 minutes when I was younger I loved to go on walks as well sometimes for over an hour.
“Amy is a gem! We did not plan on having a small kitten along with our two adult cats when we planned a trip, and realized a house sitter was needed to continue monitoring and acclimating our cat fam. Amy responded to all communication promptly, sent pics and updates throughout, and left our house immaculate. We came home to cats who were relaxed and happy. Highly recommend Amy's services, she is a trustworthy professional.”

“Kyra was so caring and responsive! She took excellent care of our two dogs and sent us photos and updates often. We were very happy with Kyra’s dog sitting. I think our dogs have a new friend in Kyra:)”


“Gabrielle made me feel so comfortable leaving my puppy alone for the first time over a long weekend! She sent frequent pictures and updates and was so sweet with him. I definitely recommend Gabrielle!”

“I am so lucky to have found Lauren. She is so good with my dog who has a lot of separation anxiety but he quickly warmed up to her wonderful personality and is so comfortable with her. I can’t praise her enough. She always keeps me updated and will continue to be our #1 go to :)”

“Sydney came to stay with my dog Minka for a long weekend. It was my first time away from her, but Sydney eased my anxiety by taking such great care of her!! She gave her lots of snuggles and attention and followed the care routine to a T. I got many pictures and updates and Sydney was always quick to respond. Minka had a great weekend with Sydney and I definitely recommend her services!”

“Kymberlee took good care of my senior dogs, one of which who requires twice daily medication. She communicated well and sent a lot of photos, which I appreciate. House was left in great condition. Thank you for watching our dogs again!”

“We were VERY pleased with Jony. It was a last minute booking for an unexpected trip. He came to meet our dog and go over house/animal instructions beforehand. When he stayed at our house he left it cleaner than when he arrived! He took excellent care of our 10 yr old rescue German Shepherd and our chinchilla. Communication was excellent. We will definitely book with him again.”

“Claire was thoughtful, thorough, kind, caring and just loving with Hayden. She followed all my notes and texted me regularly. I am looking forward to Claire looking after Hayden again in the future!”

“Trisha was great. I had to leave town and immediately offered to stay and take care of Vinicius. She even cooked for him! Vincius cannot eat process food. She also sent pictures of Vincius walking around the park. I strongly recommend Trisha as dog sitter!!”

Lakshmi was AWESOME. She was terrific with our pup. She even enticed her to eat dog food she normally avoids. And the dog was obviously super happy, not just in the (many!) pics Lakshmi sent but also when we got home. She was super flexible, communicative, caring — all around great. We will definitely ask her to sit again!

Matthew house sat, watching our dog and cat for an extended period. He did a great job, providing us with daily updates and pictures, and leaving the apartment spotless! He thoroughly spoiled our pets and I know they are going to miss him! Would book again, thanks Matthew!

Toni is an extremely kind, compassionate and conscientious person. She doted on Honey and spent lots of time with her. She gave 100% making Honey have a great staycation. We were in communication every day, and I loved all the photos and videos. My home was also very neat and clean when I returned. I would definitely have Toni back again

Cristopher took care of my puppy Sagan while I went on a day trip. He was absolutely fantastic: right on time for meet and greet and the day of, super attentive to Sagan’s care instructions, warm and approachable and sent so many updates of his day with Sagan, including a two hour walk that left Sagan fulfilled and happy for the rest of the day. Will definitely be reaching out again when Sagan needs more care, and the best sitter I’ve booked on Rover so far!

Alexa took great care of my cat, was so communicative and sent great pictures that communicated how comfortable my pet was with her. She left my apartment in amazing shape after staying for a few days! I am so happy I booked with her, and would book again in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything!

Lauren was an absolutely terrific Dog Sitter!! She was genuinely excited to be with our 3 fur babies, treated them as if they were her own, asked lots of questions and followed our directions to the letter. One of our pups had a medical emergency and Lauren could not have been more attentive and caring and compassionate. She went out of her way to take our pup to the vet, made sure he had all of his medications, and then ultimately taking him to the vet emergency hospital, all the while, caring for our other two pups as well. She went above and beyond and we are eternally grateful. She’s the best!

I am tempted to skip a review because I want to keep Summar all to ourselves! She is absolutely wonderful. Despite my being an anxious person, I never feel any worry leaving my beloved Comet with Summar. He is thrilled to hang out with her and seems equally happy with her or with us! Summar takes perfect care of our house, including emptying dehumidifiers, taking in/out the garbage cans, coordinating a visit from a contractor and cleaning service, watering plants, etc, etc. She cares for Comet like he is her own pup. I feel so lucky to have Summar as our pet sitter... and hope my gushing reviews don't let the secret of her amazingness spread too wide!

We’ve used Jacqueline before, and I absolutely love how much she cares for my cat! I really appreciate that she’s knowledgeable about different cat personalities and meets them where they are at. Jacqueline stayed with my cat over the 4th of July and did a great job keeping my little guy comfortable and calm during a loud and hot time period. I appreciate Jacqueline’s communication and adherence to instructions. We will definitely use Jacqueline again.
