Top rated Kalorama house sitters
“Mark was very attentive and caring towards my two dogs during a weekend trip. He easily managed their routine and won the heart of my very anxious chihuahua. Highly recommend!”
“Marko is great! He was super communicative and thoughtful about checking in with us while sitting our dogs. He also kept our house in great shape, and overall was very easy to work with. We will definitely use him in the future.”
“Caris was fantastic! She gave my dog Ulysses so much attention, made him feel very comfortable, and was super communicative. She was also attentive to detail, including when it came to Ulysses’ habits and diet. Will definitely ask Caris to watch Ulysses again in the future.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with Meatball! Her level of attention and care was unparalleled! So happy with her and can’t wait for her to care for Meatball again!”
“Rakia took great care of my two dogs. I have a special needs dog (all the anxieties/reactivity) and she managed her meds and needs perfectly. I highly recommend Rakia!”
“Sarah took great care of Crash and our apartment while we were gone for over a week. We'd definitely recommend her to other dog parents for an in-home stay. ”
“Kaya did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She communicated clearly and consistently, which made everything easy and stress-free. It was clear right away that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals—my dog, who can be a little cautious at first, warmed up to her within minutes. She was attentive, caring, and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. I would definitely recommend Kaya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter.”
“Anna Luiza was an amazing dog sitter! She is extremely thorough with following instructions and loved my dog like my own. My dog is sensitive and has anxiety, and Anna Luiza managed her amazingly. I appreciated that she didn't hesitate to reach out when she had questions and that she sent plenty of updates. I 100% will book with her again and recommend her to other pet owners in the DC area.”
“We were so lucky to find Brooke for an extended cat/house sit over the summer! I can't remember a time when I was more relaxed to leave my shy (but needy) boy with a sitter. Brooke is clearly a cat whisperer -- he trusted her immediately and became very attached. She was extremely diligent with all the care, played and cuddled with him and left the house in remarkably pristine condition. Very responsive and responsible, I cannot recommend her highly enough and look forward to having her stay again.”
“Rico was well cared for and very comfortable with their care. This was my first time having an in-home sitter and I am more than happy to both hire them and recommend them to other people.”
“Grace was wonderful with my dog Hank! He loved all the outdoor time with her, and I loved the frequent photos she sent :) definitely recommend!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Michele! She loved and cared for our pups so well while we were out of town. She is an experienced professional who understands pets and their unique needs. She continued their routines, administered medication, and even helped our senior dog recover from a recent injury. She communicates very well and shared adorable pics so we could see what our little guys were up to while we were gone. I am so grateful for Michele’s help - 10/10!”
“Mark watched our dog for a week and took great care of him. After a week of rain he even managed to give him a bath, which George hates, and I’m sure was no easy feat. We also got lots of updates throughout the week. He left our dog and our apartment in great shape!”
“Caroline was amazing! She came over twice to meet our dog before staying for a weekend since our dog can be slow to warm up to people. Our dog and cat both LOVED her and we felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care and would absolutely ask her to pet sit again. She also sent lots of pictures and updates which was great!”
“Reva was a great dogsitter for our 3 month old puppy! She provided regular updates and photos and made sure Crosby was loved and well taken care of. We did not worry for a second while she was watching him and would recommend her for anyone looking for pet care.”
“Knowing our high maintenance pup was with Sarah was such a relief! She sent updates throughout the night with great pics, followed all of our instructions, and kept our senior dog comfortable and happy! I feel so lucky we found Sarah! She has set a high bar for future dog sitters!”
