“We were extremely impressed with Summar’s care for our pets- 2 dogs and a cat- for 2 weeks. M She kept us informed on a daily basis, allowing us to enjoy our vacation without any concerns. She handled a couple of unexpected events with great professionalism- she really is a pro. And a warm and caring person with great pet sense- our normally standoffish cat warmed up to her immediately. Summar is 5 star plus in our book.”
“Mark always goes above and beyond, leaving your pup (and place) better than he found it. He’s a natural when it comes to dogs. Not only does he provide ample care for your pup, he encourages good behaviors and reinforces training. He will always be my go-to man for dog sitting, as both my dog and I adore him. Thanks for all you do Mark!”
“Daniel took such great care of our 2 dogs while we were away! He was very communicative, competent and super sweet to our pups. We would definitely recommend his services!”
“Katherine stepped in last minute when another sitter had to cancel two hours into our stay! We are so appreciative, thank you so much Katherine! She was very nice and kind and our dogs seemed well cared for.”
“Karachi is a terrific dog sitter. She works from home so she is with Colby all the time. He loves that. She takes him for walks and has won his trust. She also is kind to us. She changed the bed and washed the sheets and towel for us. And she left the house as clean and tidy as we left it for how. We are grateful!”
“Mya did a great job taking care of my dog Winnie. She was communicative and sent lots of fun pictures. I would absolutely trust her to watch Winnie again!”
“Sai was phenomenal! He was super communicative, very punctual, and our fur babies were well taken care of. Daily texts with pictures and very flexible to accommodate a later than expected arrival home. Thank you!”
“We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dog, Rufus, while we were away in Europe for 12 days, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her care! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing she would take care of Rufus like he was her own. Throughout the 12 days, Renee kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Rufus was happy and well-loved. She gave him plenty of cuddles and attention, which we could tell made him feel at home and content in our absence. Not only did Renee provide amazing care for Rufus, but she also went above and beyond in tidying up our house and even took care of our plants—something we truly appreciated! It’s the little things that make a big difference, and she certainly took care of everything with kindness and attention to detail. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry friend!”
“Vanessa was an exceptional pet sitter! She took great care of our pup Mac, keeping him happy and well-looked after. She was reliable, professional, and maintained excellent communication throughout her time with him. I also appreciated how clean and organized everything was when I returned. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“Julia was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and two cats for a week - no small feat considering our beagles have separation anxiety and other behavioral issues. Julia has a warm, calm energy and the dogs took to her right away. She’s a great communicator and sent text updates and pics every day. We had complete peace of mind for the entire week.”
“Lesly was great to book in a pinch! Our little zoo seemed well taken care for when we came back. She also left the sweetest note for us to see when we returned!”
“Aly watched our old doggo for 10 days in our home. I never had a sitter stay that long and we were going out of the country. Aly was really kind and caring with our pet and a great communicator with us. She even took him to the vet when she suspected he was unwell. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Sjocelin did a great job with our dogs!”
“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).”
“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!”
“Whitney watched our new puppy so we could finally have a day away! We felt so comfortable and confident after our meet and greet, and our pup Luna seems to have had the best time! And we got super cute photo updates!! Bonus! Highly recommend”
“Jackson sat for our dog over Spring Break for a week and took excellent care of him. My dog ordinarily is suspicious of men and keeps his guard up for quite a while before he trusts a male visitor to our house. But Jackson is a true dog whisperer, because they were playing tug o war and fetch within 10 minutes of their first meeting! Jackson left our home in great condition and was polite and communicative throughout. We appreciated receiving photos and videos during the week that provided peace of mind. Would definitely recommend this responsible and lovely young man.”
“Mikaela was wonderful! She was super responsive-helping us out at the last minute for an overnight stay in our house with 2 big labs. Her communication was off-the-charts great!! She clearly loves pets and ours took to her immediately at the meet and greet (that she made time for the next day after contacting her)! We would welcome a chance to have her with the boys again. She has a great, kind energy!!”
“Korrey did a wonderful job taking care of our German Shepherd Quincy and hound mix Sydney while we were on vacation for a week. Sydney is a little skittish towards new people, but she warmed right up to Korrey - he has very calm energy. Korrey administered several medications for the dogs and also picked up the dog poop in the backyard. He followed all instructions, sent a few pictures, and I never had any issues getting in touch with him. I was nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about our pups at all!”
About: I love all pets, cats, dogs even reptiles. I have worked with young and old pet's. I have worked with kindhearted dogs that have an aggressive pull and bark. I have experience with medication as well. I am currently on summer break from college. I am planning on working at least 40 hours a week but it will be flexible. I can do overnights no trouble and my days will vary. I can not have others pets at my home, so I will have to come to you. I have found most pets would rather be in their homes when their people are away, it’s make them more comfortable.
