“Mirren was a dream. During our meet and greet, she was attentive to our directions and sweet to our pooches. She communicates well and often and wasn't afraid to ask questions. I really appreciated her easy going manner and ability to deal with unexpected hiccups. We would definitely use her again!”


“We hired Karima to pet sit/house sit while we went away for a few days. It was our first time leaving our two dogs at home because traveling and leaving them at someone else’s house causes them stress in their older age, and we are so happy we found Karima! She followed their schedule perfectly and administered medication to our older guy. She provided videos and updates which put us at ease. She also left the house spotless and the dogs were happily exhausted by the time we got home. We will be hiring her again in the future!”

“Dylan was fantastic with our dog Mortie! She gave her lots of play and time, attention and snuggles. Dylan also had excellent communication, and sent frequent updates and pictures.”

“Russell is so great with Kona. Very responsible, attentive, and communicative. Really appreciated having someone i trust take care of Kona for a week.”
“Kai was amazing with our dogs. Rafa is usually slow to warm but he like Kai right away. And when these tourists got lost and were so late he stayed well after the agreed time. He did great walking them and keeping them entertained.”

“Very attentive to each pet’s needs and went above and beyond not only from them but for me as well! I received regular updates and pictures of their activities while I was away. It’s a relief to know I have someone I can trust and care for my pets while I am away.”

“Jayme is an absolute life saver! The most reliable attentive, kind and caring pet sitter we have ever had. Our two puppies and cat love him! We were in a pinch where we had to leave for the day and Jayme saved us with coming through in the clutch. I would give 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend and I highly always recommend tipping well with his very reasonable rates!”

“Emma was fantastic! I literally put in a request the day before needed because my previous booked sitter cancelled at the VERY last minute. Emma was more than gracious with accepting and was the best sit for Blu! I highly recommend her for a dog sit. She provided realtime updates and Blu was very happy with her.”


“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.”

“Virginia was absolutely amazing with my stubborn-but-sweet old lady pitbull. So amazing, in fact, that I handed Virginia a dog that was hopped up on anti-anxiety with an upset stomach, and received in return a happy, chunky, well-rested pup. Clearly, Virginia’s patience and kindness won over even the grumpiest of dogs, and for that, I am very grateful. Thank you, Virginia!”

“Mark watched our two dogs for a week and was fantastic. We have great communication and daily pictures of the dogs. Mark also treated our home with respect and was completely professional.”


“Gabs was great to work with. Kind, friendly, communicative, and was very understanding and accommodating with the all of the quirks of our old house and our cat Stevie. Already looking forward to hiring them again!”

“Alayza was great! My husband and I had to leave town quickly for a funeral and Alayza came over the same day I put in my request to Rover so we could meet each other. I have a 16 yr. old Border Collie with kidney disease and a complicated diet and a need for two good walks a day. Alayza was willing to take our request and stayed at our house for some nights. When we returned after 5 days, the house was spick and span but more importantly, we have never seen our dog in such good spirits on a return from a trip!! We are so grateful for Alayza and plan to use her again in the future.”

“Kymberlee was an amazing dog sitter! She sent me updates via the app. Always on time with the potty training. Very kind and thoughtful. Luna loved her. Definitely will book again!”
“John was once again a great sitter for Hermione. He followed all of our instructions to a tee and showed up on time. Hermione can be quite needy and John made sure to spend time at our place and send pictures of her while we were away. I would hire John again. Thanks!”

“Nicole and Kieran were absolutely wonderful! They were incredibly patient with my anxious barky dog and made sure she felt comfortable. They provided updates and photos every day and took great care of my pets and home. I would rebook them any time!”
“Stephanie has gone above and beyond with my difficult senior Labrador. I couldn’t be happier with the level of care and passion she has for animals. Thank you again!”

“Used Tobias while we went away on vacation. He was great with Bailey and Kali. He listened to our care instructions and attended to their needs perfectly. He is extremely easy going and communicative. Loved getting pics everyday to see how our dogs were doing. Def will rebook and recommend him to anyone”

James was wonderful with our dog Lucy - very communicative, kind, and a clear dog lover. He made sure Lucy had lots of walks and exercise, and from the photos we could tell she was happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for. We appreciated that he thought to ask how she handled thunderstorms ahead of a bad weather forecast. He treated our home with respect and was incredibly accommodating when we had a stressful issue with our AC unit, even arranging his schedule to let a repairman in while we were gone. He also left our home spotlessly clean. I'd recommend James highly to anyone.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Leaving our dog for six days was a little nerve-wracking, especially since medication needed to be given as needed, but I felt completely at ease the entire time. Carol took wonderful care of our dog, made sure all of his needs were met, administered his medication when necessary, and kept us updated regularly with messages and photos. It was so reassuring to know he was in such caring and capable hands. I am so grateful for the love and attention she gave Toby and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. I would happily book with her again!

Caroline was awesome! My two cats took to her right away. We really appreciate how well she took care of our cats, gave us lots of updates and photos, and left our place cleaner than we did! She is experienced and it shows in the high level of care she provided. I highly recommend her and would definitely book her to house sit or cat sit again.

Sebastian was a fabulous dog/house sitter. He took care of my two 80-pound golden retrievers for a week while I was away. They can be a lot, and he handled them beautifully. I have had a lot of different sitters and he checked all my boxes: He arrived when he said he would; he stayed at the house and never left them for too long; he reached out when he had a question about their water bowl system; most importantly, the dogs were happy and healthy when I got back and the house was perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Andrew is wonderful! He stepped in to house-sit last minute during a family emergency and was very patient with me and all my quickly compiled instructions. He was also calm around my dogs and seemed highly competent. When one of us was able to come home sooner than expected, Andrew adjusted his time on the job even though we had offered to pay for the full booking. He's a true professional and a good person! I will definitely book again in the future.
Jason did a fantastic job watching our reactive senior pup. We really appreciated Jason’s thoroughness, communication, and reliability. We felt completely at ease leaving our dog and apartment in his care even though we can worry at times. Most importantly, we came back to an extremely happy pup who almost seemed to have a new light in him! recommend jason 100%!

Brooke was a great cat sitter - very professional, communicative and friendly. She set up a meet and greet beforehand and also came to pick up the keys the day before we left which was easy and convenient for us! She seemed very relaxed and friendly with the cats and also sent very cute updates ☺️ Brooke was wonderful with our cats but a lifesaver for us when we were unexpectedly stranded across the country and needed to coordinate with my sister to pick up the cats. It was such a relief to be able to count on her when it came to an emergency need. We'll definitely seek her out again and recommend her service if you're looking for a sitter!

Anne has been my go-to for watching my senior citizen pup for the last several years - I am moving outside of the DC area and am devastated to lose her as a part of my support team! My pup is 18 and has some special needs, and I have always trusted her to provide excellent care to my boy. My home is well cared for when I am gone, and I return to a happy pup. Grateful for years of ease while I have been out of town!

Jini watched my our dogs for a week and totally put us at ease while we were away! Our dogs are both a little shy/awkward with new people, but they loved Jini and seemed to really enjoy their time with her. Jini provided us with updates and followed instructions we provided. Additionally, she left our apartment in great condition! Would highly recommend her for sitting needs!

Grateful for Jayne’s help with a short sit on relatively short notice. I really appreciated that she spent quality time with my pup and stayed until close to my return, especially given my dog’s nervousness about lingering fireworks. She also sent helpful updates. Thanks, Jayne!
