Top rated Government District house sitters
“I was very impressed with Alisha. Prior to her stay at my house I had her come over to meet the animals and to show her where everything was. She was very communicative, letting me know when she was on her way, and punctual. My dogs liked her (one can be standoffish at first), which is always a good sign. During her stay she let me know when she arrived at the house, sent me picture updates, and mentioned any concerns she had (one of my dogs has cancer, so I was very appreciative of her keeping me updated about his health). We came home to a tidy house and our animals were healthy and well cared for. Alisha is very trustworthy, and I have no hesitation to recommend her services. I’ll definitely be using her again for future needs.”
“Hunter was incredible! Took such great care of our Poppy while we were away on a trip. This was our first time leaving Poppy, and Hunter took such fabulous care of her, following her puppy schedule, and provided us with updates and photos during our time away!”
“Nashi was phenomenal! One of our pups wasn’t feeling well right before we left, and it’s always difficult to leave when something like that is going on. Nashi stepped right in and took excellent care, provided updates, and calmed my worried mind. We absolutely recommend Nashi and will be requesting her care again in the future for our pups, too.”
“Jessica was AMAZING. Always communicated promptly, sent photos of my pup at each visit, and asked really good questions when setting up her appointment. So grateful for a positive experience. Will definitely use Jessica again.”
“Ashley was a great sitter, super communicative and sent lots of good pictures. She was very helpful with administering meds for Lilly and overall provided such good care! Would recommend and will book her again in the future.”
“Mario was so sweet to my fur babies while I was on vacation. He went above and beyond what was expected of him and I was impressed by the amount of extra time he spent with them. I was very grateful to receive updates throughout the day giving me that extra reassurance that they were being well taken care of. As a matter of fact it’s been almost 2 weeks and my girls still look for him to show up! 🤣 I would definitely recommend him for all your pet needs!”
“Celeste was amazing and we’d absolutely use her again! We had someone cancel 4 days before our vacation and she was able to step in and even do a meet and greet last minute. Shes a great communicator and we could tell the animals were cared for while we were gone.”
“Leaving our pets behind is never easy, but Diego made the entire experience stress-free. He treated our pet like family and gave them so much love and attention. He even brought them to the park and had a play date with some other friendly dogs! Coming home to relaxed pet and a clean house meant everything to us.”
“Briana showed up on time and it was obvious she loves dogs. Our two immediately responded positively to her. She made sure the job was understood and kept us informed. She did an excellent job.”
“I can’t say how thankful I am for Amy and her expertise while watching bandit! She provided great updates, make sure he took his walks, and helped ease my mind while traveling and leaving him in her care. Amy is fantastic and I would highly recommend her to watch your dog(s)!”
“Yuliana is the best! She took care of my dog during our recent ice and snow storm and truly made me feel at ease. She put in so much effort to make sure she was available and had great communication! Would 10000% recommend her to anyone looking for some to take care of their dog. This was a long trip of 8 days and my dog is a senior (14 years old) and when I got home he was perfectly good!”
“If you want to know your babies are in good hands Dylan is your guy!!!!!! He was very communicative, updated us on everything and went above and beyond taking care of not only our dogs but our house to while we were away!! It is a great thing to come home to a spotless house and happy pups! We will definitely be using him again!”
“Nothing short of amazing!! Attentive to my Cane Corso Voyage and Shih Tzu Vintage. She updated me regularly with pictures and key notes regarding their day. I’ve never felt so comfortable away from fur babies until they were in her care.”
“Loveneet did a wonderful job staying with Opie at our home while we were away. He managed to get a normally camera shy dog to pose for some great pics. Highly recommended!”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Lisa! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs, bunny, and home were in such caring hands. She went above and beyond—sending daily updates and photos that truly brightened our days and reassured us that everyone was happy and well cared for. Our dogs were clearly loved and pampered, and our bunny got special attention too, which isn’t always easy to find. The house was spotless when we returned, and it was obvious she treated our home with the same care and respect she gave our pets. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation and can’t wait to book her again for our next trip!”
About: Hi I’m Jackie ✨ I love being active and hanging out with my friends! I've provided dog sitting and drop-in care 10-25+ times for friends and family, caring for both medium and small breeds. I previously owned a larger dog (Korean jindo) named Flash, which gave me hands on experience with high energy dogs! Providing daily walks, feeding schedules, and overall care. I've also cared for smaller breeds, including a schnauzer, so I'm comfortable adapting to different personalities, activity levels, and routines. As a former puppy to dog owner, I understand how important consistency, safety, and communication are. I treat every dog with patience, attentiveness, respect and genuine care. Use my link for $20 off your first Rover booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/jackiu18636 Pet care fits naturally into my flexible hybrid schedule. I’m available afternoon after 3:30pm and enjoy staying active with consistent walks and visits I prioritize safety and consistency, follow your pet’s routine carefully, provide structure walks, refresh water, and send photo updates for peace of mind. My goal is to increase safety and trust overtime

We are so thankful for Holly. We needed to book a last minute sitter for the weekend, and Holly was so responsive and kind from the very beginning. Our puppy had some tummy issues while we were gone, and Holly communicated so well and provided us with frequently updates throughout the weekend. We felt so comfortable having her care for our pup, and cannot wait to book with her again in the future!
Rory gave us the best peace of mind while we were traveling. She kept us updated with photos and videos, stayed in touch frequently throughout our trip, and cleaned before she left. She took wonderful care of Bear, and he'll be so excited to see her again when we book with her in the future. We couldn't recommend her more highly!
Shawndreal was absolutely amazing!! I had a good feeling about her just from her profile. But once we met, I knew I had the perfect person for my dog. She kept up with sending lots of pictures of Riley and let me know when she gave him meds and was fed his meals. I knew from the pictures and text that Riley really enjoyed her also. We came home to a tidy house and a very happy dog. We are already planning our next trip and will for sure be calling Shawndreal ♥️
I am not someone who leaves my fur babies with just anyone. Outside of family, it's a hard no for me. So when I decided to try Rover for the first time this past weekend, I was honestly a little nervous. But Jhanell completely put my mind at ease. She took care of all three of my babies, Koda, Khloe, and Indy, and I could tell right away that they were in good hands. She checked in with me every day while I was gone, which I appreciated more than she probably knows. There is nothing worse than being away and wondering if your pets are okay. She made sure I never had to wonder. When I got home, all three of them were happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. That right there told me everything I needed to know. And beyond being a great sitter, Jhanell is just a genuinely sweet and kind person. You can feel it when you talk to her. She really cares, and it shows. I will definitely be using her again, and I have already been telling my friends about her. If you are someone like me who is very particular about who watches your pets, give Jhanell a chance. You will not be disappointed. 🐾
Diego stayed with my baby girl for a full week while I was overseas. I felt so reassured by his updates and videos and photos. I came home to a spotless house, and he even left some produce in my fridge! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10. Thank you Diego for your communication and trust!
Yuliana did an outstanding job caring for our golden retriever, Mav, and watching our home while we were away. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing everything was being well cared for. When we returned, Mav was happy, the house was spotless, and it honestly looked cleaner than when we left. We would absolutely book Yuliana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Yuliana, for taking such great care of both our dog and our home!
Shannon house sat for us and watched our two cats for two weeks, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. We left very specific instructions, and she followed them perfectly. She was professional, reliable, and a prompt communicator throughout our trip. Shannon sent us updates and cute photos at least once a day, exactly as we had asked. When we returned, our cats were happy and relaxed, and our home was just as clean and orderly as we left it. We will definitely use Shannon again for future vacations. Thank you, Shannon!
This is the second time Kelsey has stayed at my house and taken care of all my pets and once again she did an excellent job. One of my dogs had just had ACL repair surgery and I trusted her completely to follow the doctor’s instructions and to give her the medications that were prescribed. I will definitely be calling her for pet sitting in the future when it is needed! Thank you Kelsey so much for caring for my babies and for leaving my house in excellent condition!!!
