House Sitting in Petworth, Washington, D. C.

“I can’t recommend Summar enough! She took care of my cat while I was out of town, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Not only was she proactive about cleaning and keeping everything tidy, but she also paid close attention to his medication instructions, which was a huge relief. Knowing that she’s trained in pet CPR gave me extra peace of mind, and it’s clear she’s genuinely passionate about animal care. She even sent multiple photos and updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“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.”

“Gabrielle made me feel so comfortable leaving my puppy alone for the first time over a long weekend! She sent frequent pictures and updates and was so sweet with him. I definitely recommend Gabrielle!”

Sarah W.

“Sarah delivered outstanding service! She came for a pre-meet and greet, to get instructions, etc. she stayed over one night plus a return check/walk. Sent photos of our 2 dogs. She was professional,warm, kept the house tidy. We are using her again immediately.”

“Cara was a superstar sitter for our two cats. Both had recently had some health scares and are on oral medications; Cara took the time to read through instructions and ask questions for clarity, and more importantly built trust with the cats so that she could get started on the right foot. She shared photos and updates throughout the stay, and left the place in great, clean shape. I will definitely ask Cara to sit for our cats again!”

“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.”

“Nicole was amazing with our two dogs. They were well loved and cared for while we were out of town, and our pups loved her! Would highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”

“Rakia took great care of my two dogs. I have a special needs dog (all the anxieties/reactivity) and she managed her meds and needs perfectly. I highly recommend Rakia!”

Libby B.

“She’s the best! You can see how much she loves dogs, my baby girl was all spoiled and happy with her. It gave me peace of mind how she texted me daily pics and updates of their activities 🫶🏽”

“Heidy was a great house sitter! She kept up with my dog’s normal routine and sent the best photos and regular updates. Exactly what you would want from a sitter! She left my apartment in perfect order. Will definitely book again.”

“Very satisfied! We’d definitely book with Miguel again both for dog sitting and other Rover services. This was our first experience using Rover and we chose Miguel because of his previous stellar reviews, availability and price for services. We value his professionalism and friendliness. We appreciated his updates and pictures when we asked for them. Upon our return, our doggie was happy and well cared for and our place was in impeccable condition. Highly recommending him!”

“Meredith was super communicative. I knew right away that she had a true love for dogs. She even took the time to take our babies to the dog park. Our babies had such a good time with her and we knew they were in good hands. She also left our place super clean.”

“Tammy was a great sitter for our pup. Tammy was caring with our dog, asked great questions to make sure we provided all the relevant information, and provided frequent updates while we were gone. We would definitely work with Tammy again, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Mackenzie was fantastic with my (senior, frequently grumpy) dog Shadow! Great communication and lots of photos while I was gone, and I returned to a happy dog and a clean house! I would definitely book again!”

Kimere K.

“The best! Incredibly responsive, cared for our two pups (even cleaned up some pet vomit on our blanket in his own washer/dryer !!) with the utmost attentiveness and love. Will be recommending to all my pet parent friends and will be asking for help from Jose again!”

Tyler S.

“We highly recommend Alex to care for your dog! Once we met him, we had no concerns about leaving our challenging great dane mix with Alex. He clearly loves dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and he took great care of her while we were away for a week. Alex communicated promptly and was flexible, so the dog sitting was one less thing to worry about on our trip. We won't hesitate to leave her with him again anytime we can!”
