House Sitting Shaw

“Very pleased. Mirren to instantly bonded with Jinja! Plus she arrived on time, was very nice, communicated well, and sent me cute updates throughout the house sitting period.”

“Katelyn was perfect, she was super communicative throughout the visit and sent a bunch of updates and photos. My animals were well cared for and I’ll definitely book again!”

Carrie D.

“Stephanie is a very skilled and caring sitter. I came home to calm and happy pup. Stephanie was also conscientious and a great communicator. I look forward to working with her again!”

“Russell was great with Benny, Xochitl, and Heinz! Communication was excellent throughout our trip abroad, and we received so many pictures, which made being away from our dogs so much easier. It was incredibly reassuring to see how they were doing. Heinz, our older dog, can sometimes be a little tricky to work with, but Russell was very patient and understanding with him. Overall, Russell did a fantastic job, and we really appreciated the care, communication, and attention he gave all three of our pups. We would definitely book with him again!”

“Lila was amazing with my dog! Very responsive, provided amazing photos, and went above and beyond what I expected. I would recommend Lila to anyone!”

Ann F.

“Corie did an amazing job with my pup. When my dog unfortunately got into a bottle of Vitamin D, she immediately took her to the vet and stayed with her throughout the night. I truly can’t thank her enough for the extra care and effort she put in to make sure my dog was safe and okay. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate.”

Tyler D.

“Brooke was a wonderful sitter for Poppy. She sent great updates and left my apartment squeaky clean after house sitting. Definitely recommend her!”

Fae J.

“Edward did a fantastic job pet sitting for the weekend. He was prompt and attentive to details regarding this 18 year old dog and mischievous kitty. He sent me photos and kept me informed. Overall a very responsible pet sitter who I will contact again for my pets!”

Michele T.

“Jason was great, communicative, and took good care of our dog. We knew he was in good hands either at our place or at Jason’s. We’ll definitely be working with Jason again!”

Tara B.

“Karima stayed at our house for two full weeks to watch our dog and cat while we were out of town. She was great! Karima was very communicative and sent us photos of both pets every day, and kept the house tidy while we were away. We will definitely use Karima again, as we came home to very happy and chill pets who seem to genuinely miss her now that she’s gone!”

Nicole W.

“Monica was great! This was our first time using her and we were gone for two weeks so we were a little nervous. She kept in touch and sent us lots of pictures and updates so we could keep tabs on our guy. She followed the requested schedule and even came over the day we left to run through everything again since our initial meet and greet was over a month before we left. To top it off after an almost 30 hour travel day we walked in to a clean house. Not only did she tidy her space but she also cleaned/vacuumed. Such a relief to come home to. Would definitely use her services again”

Jordan S.

“Trisha took care of our two pups for a second time this week and once again was fantastic! She takes excellent care of our rambunctious pups, sends great videos and updates on what they’re up to, and leaves our home in perfect, clean condition.”

Chetan C.

“Annalee took great care of our cat Fizzy, including giving her her twice daily asthma inhaler. She sent regular updates and Fizzy liked her a lot! She left our apartment in tip top shape after a week of house sitting”

Bryan W.

“Timo is the best sitter we could ask for. Our cats love him so much and we know Timo really cares for them as if they’re his own. Timo also keeps us at ease by sending many photos and updates about the boys while we are away. And we always come back to a clean house and happy cats! Can’t recommend him enough!”

About: 🐶I’ve taken care of our Family Rottweiler, Mini Schanuzer and Elderly Shitzu mix. I’ve also had my Chihuahua since I was a teenager. With that being said, I am very experienced with dogs of any size from pup to senior 🐕‍🦺. I work from home which makes it easier to spend time with the pups as well as keep a close eye on them. This is extremely convenient if your fur baby has separation anxiety! I have a fenced in yard and two Fur babies to keep your Pup company during their stay! I’ve also got a large crate if needed.

About: I've always been the person who gets distracted by a cute dog walking down the street, although I'm a firm believer in admiring from afar until I get permission to say hello! Over the years, I've been the go-to pet sitter for close friends, caring for everyone from a lovable 40-pound Lab mix to an adorable Cavapoo. I also adopted a 10-year-old senior kitty who became my best friend for seven wonderful years before crossing the rainbow bridge. She taught me so much about patience, companionship, and just how special the bond with an animal can be. My approach to pet care is pretty simple: every pet has their own personality, and I prefer to follow their lead. Some are energetic cuddle bugs, some are fiercely independent, and some need a little time to warm up. I'm happy to be their walking buddy, playmate, couch companion, or simply the human who respects their personal space. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I don't take that lightly. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own, with plenty of photo updates so you know how they're doing. Ultimately, I want your pet to feel like they're spending time with a familiar friend, not a stranger! After several years working in the fast-paced startup world, I recently decided to take some time to slow down and reconnect with the things that bring me joy. Spending time with animals is pretty high on that list! I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule right now, and I'm excited to spend some of that time caring for pets simply because I love their company. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, or keeping a sleepy kitty company, I'm happy to work around your pet's routine. I know how important consistency is, especially when their favorite human is away, so my goal is to make their days feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. For boarding and extended stays, I prefer to take things a little more slowly. I'd love to get to know your pet through a meet-and-greet or a shorter visit before committing to a longer stay. I believe the best pet-sitting relationships are built on mutual trust and comfort, and it's important to me that your pet feels safe and at ease in my care. I'm not looking to fill every hour of my calendar. I'd much rather build lasting relationships with a few wonderful pets and their humans, so you always have someone familiar and dependable to call when you need an extra hand. My home is a pet-free space with plenty of room to stretch out, play, and find a cozy spot to nap. I don't have a yard, but I'm happy to make outdoor time and walks part of your dog's regular routine. I don't currently have any pets of my own, and I only host one household's pets at a time. That means your pet won't have to navigate unfamiliar animals or compete for attention. They'll have the space, affection, and one-on-one care they deserve! I don't have a crate but can accommodate yours if your pet is crate-trained or feels most comfortable having their own familiar space. You're also welcome to bring their favorite bed, toys, blankets, or anything else that makes them feel at home. I'm a big believer in letting animals set the pace. Before any extended stay, I'd love to learn about your pet's personality, routines, boundaries, and any special needs. I also prefer a meet-and-greet before boarding so we can make sure it's a comfortable fit for everyone. My goal isn't just to give your pet a place to stay. It's to create a little home away from home where they feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. And of course, you can expect plenty of photos and updates along the way!

“Emma was very flexible and helpful when she extended the visit when my travels got delayed due to weather. I appreciated her flexibility and communication so much!”

About: I have been doing sits with TrustedHousesitters for the past year- I’ve done 20 sits so far around the country and within DC, some as long as 3 weeks. Through that app I’ve watched everywhere from small to large dogs, puppies to old (with a strict medicine regimen), and multiple dogs at once. I’ve also done a number of cat sits (and grew up with cats!) Happy to provide my profile from TrustedHousesitters with all my reviews! I currently work remotely and have a flexible call schedule so I’m looking to find some sits that I can fit in throughout the day and over the weekend. I’d love to find some options when people are out of town, but happy to consider a more regular sit schedule as well. I would not be able to care for the pets in my own home, but happy to come to you! I also am happy to stay overnight for pets that need more attention.

“Megan did an incredible job watching our two medium to large sized dogs - Ades and Tilli. She kept us updated every morning and evening with tons of photos. We were able to enjoy our trip because we knew our doggos were in the best hands. Additionally, she even took our dogs on a little hike in Rock Creek. It's clear she has a genuine love for dogs and is very organized and responsible. We would highly recommend Megan!!!”

“Jaquelyn is an amazing sitter! She took great care of our boys (dog and cat) as well as our house. She was communicative and organized. When our doorbell camera didn’t work, she was happy to help and had a great fix. And when our flight back was cancelled she was so flexible extending her services. Anyone would be lucky to have Jaquelyn take care of their fur babies!”
