House Sitting in Washington, DC

“We have used Rachelle a few times now. Twice for day trips and most recently for several days and over nights. My animals bonded with her instantly. Even my cat that’s can not be bothered to like anyone loves Rochelle. I never worry about them when she’s with them. She seems to really care about the animals. Beyond that she leaves my apartment as she found it no matter how much I tell her to make herself at home. We highly recommend her and will continue to use her in the future!”

“Emily was great! She was very communicative and helpful. It was easy to set up a meet and greet and our cat got comfortable with her quickly. Our cat and our house were well cared for. Would definitely ask her to sit again!”

“Timothy was the perfect sitter for my boy Marvin! You know they had a great week together when your dog is crying and looking all over the house for Timothy when he left! I knew he was in good hands based on the pictures and updates. Timothy also was the perfect house guest, looking after all my things, following my instructions, and ensuring everything was clean and orderly upon my return! So very pleased, he is now my definite go-to caretaker!”

“Emily was once again amazing! She watched my dog for 4 nights and he was in such great care. My house was also immaculate when I came home. Grateful to have found the perfect sitter”

“Erica was great! Our dog immediately warmed up to her so we knew he would be in great hands. Erica was very responsive over the app, sent pics and updates, and was a super respectful houseguest as well.”

“Navya is incredible. We've had her stay at our house a couple times already. She does an incredible job of not only taking care of our dogs but also our home. She leaves it in better condition than when we left! She updates you regularly on what is going on. For example , a snowstorm hit while she was sitting and she shoveled our front and back yards. We couldn't recommend her more highly!”

“Lily was incredibly responsive, respectful, and treated my pup like her own. She has a special bond with dogs and I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Billie made my first experience with Rover a seamless and stressless experience. From the meet and greet to the way she continuously updated me via messages, to the way she left the apartment I never worried and my dog Maybe had a great time with her! Will be using her in the future!”

“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Leslie is. From the start of our communication to the day we had our meet and greet, I had a good feeling about her due largely to her excellent communication. My two dogs are a handful and I interviewed several sitters before meeting Leslie. I am always apprehensive about leaving my dogs because of how high energy they are, but she put my mind at ease with thoughtful/introspective statements about her approach to and experience dog sitting. My usually skittish and guarded Silky Terrier warmed up to Leslie right away and in one of the early pictures was belly up on the couch waiting for attention and pets. Leslie kept the dogs on their schedule with long Arboretum walks and gave them the best possible care I could ask for. As others have mentioned, she was transparent with arrival/departure times and communicative with pics and texts during the visit. She kept my home tidy and loved my dogs - what more could anyone ask for in a dog sitter? Leslie is not only the type of person I want taking care of my dogs, she is the type of person I would love to have as a friend. She even stepped in to water my plants while I was gone on another trip! She’s truly one of Rover’s best.”

“Alona watched over my two dogs while I was away on a work trip, and she was great with communicating/sending updates with cute pictures. She was also flexible and understanding when timing needed to change a little, and asked great questions during our neet and greet. Definitely would recommend her and will be asking her to stay with them again!”

“Mia was a fantastic sitter, my cat is happy and healthy and my apartment is perfectly put together. She is a great communicator and I highly recommend her!”

“Casey was wonderful! We know our dog is in good hands with her. Our dog got an ear infection the day we were supposed to leave for our trip and Casey was super helpful with administering the medication and keeping us updated.”

“I could not recommend Ann G. more! She watched my 8 month old puppy for 4 days and did an amazing job! She took my pup on many long walks and texted me updates/pics all the time. She was very communicative, gave my pup plenty of socialization, and was in tune with his needs. If you need someone to watch you dog, you definitely want Ann G.”

“Allison was a great house and pet sitter. She provided regular updates and when I got home my apartment was clean and my doggy was happy. My dog is reactive which makes me nervous when I leave her with sitters but Allison was reassuring and I was glad Mae had no issues.”

“Perscilla is a dog owner herself so she truly understands the care and attention dogs need! She is reliable, patient, professional, and has a love for dogs- big or small. She has cared for my dogs a countless number of times & has always gone above and beyond!”

“Annie was great! Super flexible with the end time which was very appreciated. Definitely recommend her service and will be rebooking!”

“José was fantastic! Took great care with my pup. Sent updates and photos just as we agreed prior to stay. Looking forward to booking with José again.”

“Alexandra was fantastic! Extremely communicative, and gave Kiwi so much attention and love while I was away. I had nothing but confidence that he was in excellent hands, and she gave him a great structure and routine every day. I will definitely be asking her to watch Kiwi again!”

“Joseph was wonderful! He was super communicative and patient with our big dog. He took wonderful care of our home and I really appreciated the time he took to ask any questions.”

“Michael took such great care of our pups and our home. He provided regular pupdates and made us feel sure our pups were taken care of and loved. The pups accepted him as family right away. Thank you, Michael!”
