House Sitting in Potomac West, Alexandria, VA

“I am so glad we found Heather to care for our two pups while we were out of town! They seemed so happy and healthy when we got home. She also kept our house tidy while she stayed with them for the weekend. She sent us lots of updates with photos and videos throughout each day. 5 stars :)”

“Sarah is AMAZING! We had her for two overnights in our house taking care of our dog and cat... Sarah was simply amazing. Not only was she responsible and reliable (obviously the most critical things), she was also friendly and genuinely cared for our pets in such a kind way! She provided frequent pupdates and cupdates about our pets, and it was so reassuring to know they were in such good hands and having fun. Our pets are very different - a bit of a wild goldendoodle and a very senior cat. It takes a special person to take such good care of them both. The pictures of our pets made us so happy while we were traveling since we could literally see their smiles in the images!! Not only was Sarah so great with our pets, she took incredible care of our home, too; honestly we found it nicer than when we left! Huge gratitude to Sarah and she has our fullest 5 star, 10 out of 10, most excellent recommendation!”

“Sade was excellent! I booked her for a long house-sitting to care for both of my cats and they really enjoyed her. One cat is incredibly anxious and often never comes out with strangers, and the other is a kitten that hadn't known me to be gone overnight before. After a few days both cats were out relaxing and playing as normal with Sade. Sade provided daily updates on my cats while I was away and my place was in perfect condition when I returned. I'll definitely book again!”

“Tara was amazing. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures. She took great care of my baby and I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Tori was great housesitting for my 2 year old pup! She was very reliable, helpful, responsive, trustworthy, and sent great photos! So happy with our experience”

“We booked Carrie for a 12 day stay a few months out, but needed her sort of short notice for just an over night stay with our pups. She was able to accommodate us and she took such good care of our pups! She sent pictures, updates and cleaned up after herself like she wasn’t even there :) We are so pleased to have found her and know that when we will be gone for a longer period of time, our boys will be in the best of hands! As a Rover sitter myself, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Jenna was great! It was our first time using Rover for a house sitter for our senior cat who can be very particular. She didn’t bat an eye at the three pages of notes I left. She was very responsive when we asked for updates and sent photos and videos to ease our anxieties about being away from our Ellie. We came home to a very happy kitty!”

“Jessica did a great job at taking care of our dog and updating us on how she was doing. I could tell my dog felt cared for and was safe and happy.”

“Amina has dog-sat for us several times a year since we adopted our 5-year-old Yorkie, Casha, at 5 months. She is simply the best! When we are lucky enough to get her, my vacations are always more relaxed because I know my dog is getting the best care and having fun. My dog loves Amina. She also is amazing at following any instructions and suggestions. Last trip I suggested a walk to a beautiful ravine path, so she brought my dog there twice! She even took amazing photos of their visit which made me so happy and was an added keepsake for my husband and me. As an added bonus, Amina happens to be an amazing, kind, sweet, empathetic and intelligent person too! She is perfect for little ones with separation anxiety. -Alysha S.”

“Nichole was amazing! Great communication and gave us plenty of pics while we were gone to let us know our pups were well taken care of. We’d definitely like to have her be our regular sitter.”

“Max was great! He sat for our 2 dogs for 5 days including New Years and gave us consistent check-ins, with lots of walks. Plus he left our house neat! We’d definitely use him again!”

“Erika was amazing with Mila! She sent plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay and I could tell how much Mila loved her! Would absolutely book again!”

“Alexandra was the absolute best! We had great communication, and all the photos showed us how happy the boys were with her! We are so thankful to have found her!”

“I used Nathan’s services when I went out of town for two days and one night for a business trip. Nathan was very prompt with communication, took my dog out for walks right on schedule, and was easy to work with. I live in a apartment building that’s a bit of a hassle to get inside and to the apartment unit due to their security, and he worked well with that. Will use Nathan again.”

“Madison was great! My two pups can be a handful but she was amazing and so patient with them! Always on time and was so easy to communicate with! Highly recommend her for anyone that is looking for an amazing pet sitter! First time using rover and Madison made it so easy and made me feel at ease while I was away!”

“Jenny is amazing! My cat isn’t very friendly and I was so nervous to leave him over the holidays. Jenny was so patient and kind with him and kept sending me updates and pictures. After awhile he warmed up and was loving on her! It made me so happy! I can’t wait to have Jenny back!”

“The instant our animals met John, they loved him! Both our cat and dog were eager for John's attention when we met and it was clear that John loves and cares for animals. We came home to happy and healthy pets and definitely look forward to having John watch our pets again.”

“Shane was a great sitter and I would highly recommend. He watched my pup Chestnut, took him on long walks and provided multiple updates throughout the day. I look forward to having him sit again in the future.”

“Brenda is fantastic. She took such great care of our dogs and sent regular updates. I would highly recommend her.”

“Dara housesat our two large dogs for a long evening while we went to a concert! The dogs immediately warmed up to her and we came back to two happy, resting dogs. Dara communicated so well with us from the planning stage all the way through to the end. I really appreciated how detail oriented she was when asking about routines, safety, and each dogs’ likes and dislikes. She also seemed genuinely excited to hang out with our dogs. She managed our dogs who both have some behaviours (one food guards and my foster is not good on a leash) beautifully. I will definitely book her again.”
