“Edgar provided a wonderful safe place for my fur baby, Mylo. I greatly appreciated the pics that were sent. I will not hesitate hiring Edgar for my next sitter need!!”


“I had an excellent experience with Kerri as my dog’s sitter! From the moment I reached out, she was responsive, friendly, and professional. Blanca immediately warmed up to her, and it felt like she was right at home. Throughout the stay, Kerri sent regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Blanca returned home happy and well-cared for, and it was clear that she had enjoyed her time with Kerri—she even seemed a bit sad to leave! I highly recommend Kerri to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again for future trips.”

Our dog is definitely looking forward to the next time we send her over lol. 10/10”

Thank you so much Kelly, Hermes loves all three of you!”

North Kensington dog parents share their Rover experiences
William took care of my two golden retrievers for a long weekend. Unfortunately one of them had some GI distress (fill in your own gruesome details here). William did a fabulous job of caring for my pup, graciously cleaning, and making solid suggestions for treatment of his illness. I am impressed by William’s care, his grace, his knowledge of dog health, and the way my dogs react to him. They really like him. At the risk of creating such high demand for William’s services that he’s booked when I need him, I give him my highest recommendation.

All I can say is WOW and THANK YOU! We were so nervous leaving our 13yr old (not so) Chocolate Lab with strangers for a week. Our usual sitter was unavailable. I saw that Melina and Maria had experience with older dogs and made contact. We went for the M&G and my dog immediately felt at home. During my dogs time with them, they sent countless pictures and videos to put our minds at ease. I highly recommend this family. You will not be disappointed. I have already inquired about another stay!

Galen was great with my ~5yr old lab! She proactively sent pictures/videos and updates so I wasn’t worried about Lily while I was gone. She also kept Lily exercised & cool despite the DC summer heat with woods walks & creek visits. She also helped Lily feel more confident on hardwood floors by putting down mats & extra beds. We will definitely have Lily stay with Galen & her adorable pup Ginger the next time we are out of town!

Diana was warm and kind even before I made the booking—she explained everything clearly and her gentle tone made me feel instantly at ease. On the day I dropped Brownie off, she welcomed us into her home, showed me around, and gave Brownie the chance to meet her dog. It was lovely to see how they slowly got to know each other. The environment was clean, calm, and very comfortable, which gave me peace of mind to leave Brownie in her care. While I was away on my trip, Diana sent short updates and photos everyday— just enough to reassure me that Brownie was doing well and enjoying her time. I felt completely at ease thanks to her thoughtful messages. If you’re looking for someone to care for your small dog, I highly recommend Diana!

Natalia and Edward took excellent care of my dog while I was away for a two-week trip. They sent daily updates and photos, were easy to communicate with, had a great space for dog sitting, and were knowledgeable when it came to care. I would not hesitate to trust them with my dog in the future. Thank you!
