House Sitting Old Town

“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”

“Alexa was an amazing house sitter for our dog, Cookie and my sister’s bunny, Hashbrown. She was incredibly attentive to their needs and took care of Hashbrown as she was sick while we were away. She was very on top of giving little Hashbrown’s medicine and spent lots of time bonding with her. Alexa made sure to give Cookie lots of attention and exercise and was very flexible to Cookie’s personality. Cookie seemed very happy and healthy upon our return and I could tell she enjoyed her time with Alexa! Alexa left our apartment spotless and even left us dinner and snacks for our return. We will definitely be using Alexa’s services in the future.”

“Elisa was wonderful! She took great care of our energetic pup, giving her lots of exercise and attention. Lots of communication and pictures. We can’t wait to book her again.”

“Orianne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, calm. Madeline was comforted while we were out, which means the world to us. Madeline was happy to see us, and we could tell she was relaxed. Orianne will be our first call should we need a pet sitter again!”

“Jhonathan was amazing. He came over a day early for a meet-and-greet and immediately bonded with Redbone. We chatted for a while, and in addition to being a great dog sitter, he seems like a cool person!”

“Bella really does a great job with my fur babies! She is very responsible and dependable. She send updates regularly and it is easy to see she loves animals.”

Jeannie W.

“Bradley was awesome with our girl. He left us at ease that she was in good hands. An added bonus was that he left our place as clean as we left it.”

Blake S.

“Amy was amazing with our 2 kiddos, one cat and one dog. She provided regular updates and it was clear she formed a special bond with our pets. We leveraged Amy for a long housesitting stay and we were truly able to relax given how great she was. We will definitely use Amy for our next trip!”

Kevin K.

“Katie is great! We have had her stay with our dog Grant twice and we’ll definitely reach out the next time we are out of town! She’s very sweet and a great communicator!”

Kristin T.

“Jeannie is wonderful! She provided such great care for my fur babies while I was going through a difficult time and put me at ease while I was nervous of leaving my pups. She provided such great updates with pictures and videos reassuring me they were getting plenty of love and attention. Jeannie also went the extra mile to go to the store and get my dogs pumpkin and rice when they had an upset stomach. I highly recommend Jeannie and will continue to book with her because I am at ease when having to travel without my fur babies. Thank you Jeannie for your excellent care and communication”

“Christina was absolutely wonderful to work with. She took great care of our dog Kona while housesitting and provided great updates throughout the week. We could tell that Kona was having a great time and being well taken care of with Christina. It was so comforting to know that she was being taken care of while we were gone.”

“Our small rescue dog has only been left alone for a couple of hours a day since she was saved from living in a field with a bad breeder. We were very anxious about leaving her for a week but Jason did an outstanding job of keeping her happy, well walked, and communicated with us twice a day or more to make sure we were comfortable with her status. We highly and unconditionally recommend Jason and look forward to using his services again.”

“Ian is an amazing pet sitter. We are a high maintenance family. One senior dog who needs special care and round the clock medicine and one 200 lb Saint Bernard who is a bit of a diva. This was the first time we have been able to go away in a long time and have complete peace of mind. Thank you, Ian.”

Kathleen H.

“This was my first time using Rover. Tara housesat for me over 4 days. She came over to meet my Amstaff, Zoey, before booking. I really appreciated that time to get to know Tara a little, since I have never left Zoey with someone I don't know—and she is a 12-year-old dog that needs to go out to pee often. Throughout the stay, she sent photos and thoughtful updates, which was comforting to see/know that Zoey was in good hands. I came home to a happy dog and the house was left clean and tidy. I absolutely trust Tara with Zoey and my home—and will definitely book with her again!”

Andi H.

“I couldn't be happier with choosing Moxy to stay with our doggo, Kona for 10 days! I was nervous (as all pawrents are) about leaving Kona with someone new, especially since she is quite skittish with new people, but Moxy was fabulous!!! By day two she was sending me photos of our normally shy pup cuddling with her. Talk about a load off my mind! From all the updates Moxy provided me with, I knew Kona was getting the primo treatment from her new friend. Moxy was super flexible about staying late when my flight home was delayed and left our apartment in pristine shape, she even gave Kona a nice bath. 10/10 would ask Moxy to care for Kona again!!”

“Alexis did a wonderful job taking care of our dog on short notice. She is very responsive, communicative, and kept our dog happy and comfortable.”

About: New to Rover, but I’ve provided care and training for all sorts of animals for over two decades and enjoy providing peace of mind and attentive affectionate care! Would love to meet! I work from home and enjoy an active lifestyle with frequent walks. I enjoy doing things alongside furry companions and can work my schedule around their needs quite easily! I provide attentive supervised care. At home we allow animals on furniture and encourage companionship while respecting a pet’s need to adjust and preferences of owners

“Jeana is a gem! She took excellent care of our 3 dogs. She sent pics and updates throughout her stay. Very trustworthy and dependable. She’s our new “go-to” for dog sitting!”

About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 6 years old, and I started pet sitting in elementary school. In the past I've watched dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, crustaceans, and reptiles. I make sure to treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently live with my cat the DMV area. Also, I painted the Big Blue Cat in Old Town Alexandria! I work from home remotely. This means I am often available to stay home with your pets or to check on them throughout the day! I am comfortable caring for multiple pets and kinds of animals at a time. I am also sensitive to the special needs of each pet. I'll take care of your fur babies and your home too.

“Paige did a wonderful job taking care of our 8month old puppy for a long Saturday evening. She arrived at the house on time and kept it in order while we were gone. She fed, walked, played with him. We would use her again!”
