Top rated Mount Vernon Square house sitters

“They were absolutely great with watching my little yorkie. Before the sitting they were very diligent about setting up a meet and greet. During the meet and greet we did a practice walk and went over the stay. During the stay they were so sweet and kind to my girl. At one point my yorkie wasn't feeling well and they took my yorkie to the emergency vet and stayed there with her until I could get there. I highly recommend!!! They are a wonderful and caring sitter.”


“Diego did a great job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. He was communicative, sent pics and updates, and left the apartment in great condition when he left. I will definitely use him again and I highly recommend him for others!”


“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.”


“Dee is amazing! She’s always on time, very sweet, and respectful to me, my pup, and my house! It’s a huge relief to have someone I trust and someone who my dog loves to watch him. I’m especially grateful because my dog is high anxiety and she was patient as he got familiar with her through meet and greets before she watched him for the weekend. My pup loves her and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Marko was very kind and great with our pup! He communicated throughout our trip and even kept an eye out for our dog’s seasonal allergies. We couldn’t recommend him more!”


“Mark went above and beyond, not just walking and caring for my dog, but taking him for road trips around the area during a weeklong stay. Watching him and my dog interact, it’s clear that my dog really liked him and that Mark combined gentle caring with firm direction in an optimal way. Mark also left my house cleaner than he found it, which was a nice bonus. Would wholly recommend Mark if you need a safe set of hands to dog/house sit.”


“This is the second time we’ve hired Rachel to mind our dogs and she did an incredible job once again! Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of our baby girls.”


“Thanks so much for taking great care of Hampton. It was such a relief knowing he was being cared for while we were away for so long. Also thanks for taking great care of our home.”


“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She went above and beyond caring for our Penny. We're still training Penny, who is a puppy, and Stephanie helped reinforce good behavior on walks and inside. Penny even got a nice massage and music therapy! We hope to have Stephanie care for Penny again.”


“Emily was amazing! I hesitate to have a house sitter since my pup can be very protective of the house but the circumstances made other options not possible this time so Emily saved the day and handled my two babies like an absolute champ! She was so patient with my pup and allowed her time to get comfortable and gave me constant updates. I was stress free my whole trip bc I knew my babies were in good hands. Thanks Emily!”


“Jenna is great! I had her for the first time for our dog and cat and she stayed for in house sitting. She sent many photos and even kept track of meal times and walks (without us asking). I would absolutely book again!”


“Adrienne was a great sitter for our dog Daisy! She sent plenty of updates and photos. Adrienne is friendly and easy to communicate with. Would definitely book with her in the future!”


“Gabi was amazing! Chase loved her! She kept me updated with pictures throughout the booking. Highly recommend Gabi for all your pets needs! They will be very well taken care of!”


“Brooke was great! She made it a point to meet with me and Lula Mae to run thru her schedule and get the lay of the land before her stay. Lula was clearly well cared for and happy when I got home, and the house was in perfect shape to boot! Thanks Brooke, we hope you’ll agree to sit Lu again in future!”


“Katelyn did a wonderful job sitting for our senior dog with significant mobility related special needs. She followed our detailed instructions, checked in regularly, and sent lots of updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would definitely recommend her and book her again.”


“Jayme was fantastic! He instantly connected with our dogs and made us feel completely at ease. His communication was excellent—frequent updates and photos reassured us our pets and home were in great hands. He truly went above and beyond, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again for house sitting.”
