I recommend Conor without hesitation.. I live in FL but have a sister in Washington DC and needed someone to watch my dog. So my request posted on Rover was confusing to many potential dog sitters. Most didn’t read my description where I explained that I was visiting my sister who lives in Washington DC. Conor read it and understood what I needed and responded on very short notice. Conor was on time, professional and personable. . If you need someone to watch your dog, stop looking: sign up Conor!

Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!

Once again, Nico was great with Pierre-Poupon, took him on lots of adventures, and even did some laundry for me (which I was completely surprised by)! I look forward to using her services in the upcoming year.

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!

Mirren was a dream. During our meet and greet, she was attentive to our directions and sweet to our pooches. She communicates well and often and wasn't afraid to ask questions. I really appreciated her easy going manner and ability to deal with unexpected hiccups. We would definitely use her again!

Emma was fantastic! I literally put in a request the day before needed because my previous booked sitter cancelled at the VERY last minute. Emma was more than gracious with accepting and was the best sit for Blu! I highly recommend her for a dog sit. She provided realtime updates and Blu was very happy with her.

Jini was a wonderful sitter for our home and our pets! She was communicative, clean, kind, and did a great job keeping our pups on a routine and feeling comfortable while we were out of town. We had no doubts that our boys were well taken care of, exercised and treated like they were her own while we couldn’t be here. We will absolutely be calling Jini for future trips and sitting needs!

Corie’s care of our four dogs and tortoises was excellent - she’s a compassionate, thoughtful petsitter who made sure that we were kept updated about our pets’ wellbeing throughout our time away from home. We look forward to having her take care of Bear, Louie, Gigi, CloClo and our tortoises in the future!

Karima took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and was very professional. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Karima again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.

Isabelle exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! From the moment she arrived, our dog Max felt completely at ease with her, which says a lot about her natural way with animals. She kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us complete peace of mind knowing Max was happy and well-cared for. What really impressed us was her attention to detail - not only did she take excellent care of Max, but she also left our home spotless.

Nicole was a wonderful dog sitter. She stayed with my senior girl for two weeks while we were on a trip to Europe. She sent detailed updates and pictures daily, which as an anxious dog mom made me feel so much better. She was a perfect house guest and left the apartment clean and well taken care of. I could tell Bella loved her! During her stay, they ran into neighbors/friends/family who all had nothing but great things to say about Nicole and her care for Bella.

This is Andrew's second time with Stephanie pet sitting and I know it will not be his last! He was calm and clearly well-cared for when we got home. Andrew is blind so it's not easy for him to have new adventures but Stephanie kept him occupied with massages, games and lots of affection. He is not crazy about taking walks but Stephanie somehow got him to take a 45 minute walk! She sent us detailed updates and funny, adorable photos. I feel very comfortable with Stephanie. We were able to take our trip without worry. Plus, the house was beautiful when we got home.

Farah barked ferociously when she saw someone approaching the house. As soon as she realized it was Kayla, though, she stopped barking and starting wagging. She loves Kayla! Kayla's calm demeanor is just right for an anxious dog like our fear-driven aggressive pocket bully, and yet Kayla is very conscientious about reporting everything that could be a concern. She also took care of our packages and a guest issue for us. Highly recommend!

Shannon is an incredible sitter! She is extremely communicative, responsible, and trustworthy--when I met her, I felt immediately comfortable having her stay in my home with my dog who struggles with anxiety at times and has a sensitive stomach. I would absolutely trust Shannon again in my home with my dog, and I'm grateful for her dependable, high quality pet care!!

Madison sent daily updates and photos, and when I returned, my apartment was spotless. I look forward to hiring Madison again soon!

We are so blessed to have found Issi as a sitter for Kiki. She was wonderful with Kiki and also calmed my nerves making it possible for me to go on my first trip without my little one feeling confident. Issi sent updates through the day with pictures which I looked forward to everyday! Issi took wonderful care of my home it looked even better when I came home! We will for sure be requesting Cynthia again we love her!

Shannon took wonderful care of our dog, cat, and home when we were on vacation for 2.5 weeks. She asked great, thorough questions about them when we were establishing her care and she was responsive and attentive to their needs while we were gone. Knowing she was caring for them really helped us relax while we were away. We would definitely book with her again for a future long trip!

Brianna is a LIFESAVER. I've been using the same sitter for years in So. Cal, but I'm temporarily in DC and was completely lost on what to do when I had to do an unexpected work trip. Brianna immediately arranged a meet and greet, took the time to get to know my cats and the space. And on that work trip, I realized that separate arrangements I had made hadn't worked out, and my cats had been alone for 24 hours plus. Brianna graciously stepped in and got the keys (and helped me avoid an awkward situation), and took care of the cats for the rest of the trip. I'm in DC until November, and very grateful I have someone reliable to take care of the furballs until then!

I hate to leave too many 5 star reviews! I want her to be available for my pets! Haley is my go-to dogsitter for 2 eccentric dogs that she does extremely well with. Have lost count of how many times she has helped out for 3 days, a week or even 2 weeks.
