“Nicole was fantastic! She was organized, communicative, and clearly took great care of our dog while housesitting for several days. It's easy to see why she's a Star Sitter. We'll definitely hire her again in the future.”

“Jessica did a great job taking care of my GSD, Auggie. She was very communicative, my place was cleaner than I left it which is going above and beyond, and most importantly, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I will definitely be reaching out again next time I'm out of town.”

“Maria was a great sitter for our home and two dogs. She gave us daily updates, treated our dogs well, and took good care of our home. Thank you so much, Maria! 10/10 would recommend.”

“Lydia is an outstanding dog/cat sitter! She was very communicative and responsible. We felt absolutely confident that she was taking excellent care of our cat and dogs while we were in Europe, which made our time away that much more enjoyable.”

“Sai was a wonderful petsitter! Sai watched our two dogs and cat for two weeks, staying in our home during the time. I would absolutely recommend Sai. He checked in with us a few times to let us know how the pets were doing and we arrived home to a tidy house and happy animals.”

“Addie was great! Our dog can be very anxious, especially with new people and in new places, but she seemed to trust Addie very quickly and we felt much more comfortable leaving her with someone while we went out.”

“I would book Carol again to dog sit Chewie the next time. She took great care of Chewie and was accommodating to Chewie’s temperament like how he’s reactive to other dogs. Great service!”

“Second time having Kylee in our home to sit for our pup and it went really well! Our dog was completely relaxed with her, and she’s usually anxious when we’re gone. Two thumbs up!”

“Christina was amazing. She took great care of our pups and our house during our trip. The house was spotless when we returned and the dogs were happy. She sent pictures of the dogs frequently and communicated very well. We will definitely work with Christina again!”

“Julia made time last minute to help me and provided excellent care all night to my friendly-but-sometimes-needy dog. She's always the go-to sitter on my list!”

“Sylvia was amazing! She sent me so many funny pictures and frequent updates. It is very obvious she truly loves dogs (especially my big one!). She also took very good care of my place even sweeping up dirt and wiping mud off my dog so he wouldn't get it on the couch. I’ll definitely be using Sylvia as my go-to sitter!”

“Lilly was amazing with our 2 very needy, elderly dogs. She followed all of my instructions to a T and I love how much she communicated and all the pictures she sent. I felt very comfortable with her and I did not have to worry about them at all. I hope to book her again for our next trip!”


“I knew Pamela would be a great house sitter for my dog Ruby when we first met. She focused first on Ruby - making a connection and understanding her routine. Pamela sent frequent updates and pictures. I came home to a happy dog and a home well taken care of.”

“Vanessa was amazing! She took great care of our little guy. She made sure he was comfortable and safe at all times. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Jada was absolutely wonderful with King. Took amazing care of our boy King and of the house and plants. Reliable easy to reach and constantly communicating. Will absolutely hire her again in the future.”

“Alex was amazing! She did an excellent job staying at our place to watch after Copper. She was a great communicator throughout our trip, and we felt at ease knowing our dog was in great hands.”

“This was our first time using Rover. We came to DC for a graduation and Naval commissioning and needed a dog sitter for a full day. Zoe replied and the rest was history. Her online communication was awesome. We did a meet and greet and which and immediately felt comfortable leaving Dolly (American Staffordshire Terrier/Pittie) with her. Zoe arrived on time and we left. Zoe sent pictures during the day and gave us a status report. When we arrived back at our hotel, they were both snuggled on the couch. To sum it up, Zoe is totally reliable, very communicative and I am absolutely sure you will have no issues if you decide to let her watch your dog(s).”
