House Sitting in Silver Spring

Jordan has been taking care of our dog Junie when we go away for years now, and Junie gets SO excited when Jordan comes to pick her up--clearly she knows she is going to have great long walks and lots of cuddles at Jordan's house. And we are so comforted knowing that Junie is in such good hands. Jordan keeps in great contact, sends lots of adorable photos and updates, and obviously treats the pets she watches with great care. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!

Dobby is generally anxious about meeting new people but he warmed up to Ixchel quickly. She managed his quirks and challenges well and without complaint. We returned home to a happy and healthy dog and a clean apartment. We would definitely book with Ixchel again!

Maura house sit for the weekend to look after our dog and cat, and everything was great! The animals were well taken care of and happy as can be all weekend long. Maura is thoughtful and responsible and trustworthy. Thank you, Maura!

Jared house sat for me and watched my senior dog for about a week and a half. My pup enjoyed his company and even slept with him in the bed (which we allow in this house). Jared even went out of his way to refill the treats once they ran out! He was communicative, responsive, and shared photos and updates daily.

Laura was fantastic! She cared for my large and excitable GSD puppy while I was out of town for four (!) days without a hitch. She's trustworthy, good with animals, and very sweet. Go book her!!!

Omar was great with watching Gus and taking care of our house. He was prompt when booking, and made sure he understood all the care instructions for Gus. He communicated well, and sent pictures throughout his stay with Gus. Highly recommend Omar, he is great!!

Aliyah was amazing. I left her tons of instructions on how to care for my little girl Maddie, and she followed directions perfectly. Maddie was super happy when I returned home from my week long vacation. Aliyah was very responsive while I was away and she sent tons of pictures daily. I will definitely rebook her again.

Nichole could not be better. She was absolutely phenomenal and SO easy to work with. She often shared pics of our boys and went above and beyond in multiple ways. I cannot recommend her enough.

Anthony was the god-send in an urgent situation, coming on board with very short notice. Because of my situation, some of the usual steps were skipped. I didn't learn til the meet & greet that he had some long shifts at work, that required me to make additional arrangements to feed and walk the dogs on those days. In the past, rover responders have checked the needs and raised the question of whether their schedule matches my dog's needs before we get to meet & greet. Secondly, being clear about expectations/limits of pantry use would have served us both better. Finally, expectations that the fridge be left empty of the dog-sitters leftovers should have been expressed. Ultimately, my dogs were cared for. And I think Anthony is learning how to be a considerate in=home sitter.

Joey is extremely communicative and has always followed through on the times he will be in and out of our house to watch our dog! And he leaves our place very clean!

Larquana went above and beyond in caring for my elderly cat, Toby, last weekend. From the moment she walked in the door to meet him, Toby wanted to be around Larquana. This was pretty surprising to me because Toby normally takes awhile to warm up to new people. Larquana handled Toby's complex meal and medicine routine with ease and gave Toby tons of cuddles and play time. Seeing photos of him happy and cared for made it possible for me to enjoy my holiday too. I highly recommend Larquana!

Meredith was great. She sent lots of updates with pictures of Chilli, and spent tons of time with her. Meredith went above and beyond by unpacking my grocery box, washing her sheets, and leaving the house cleaner than when she arrived!

Rin (Janavi) did an amazing job dogsitting our two huskies, who require a lot of special attention. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She has a natural way with animals, and our dogs responded very well to her calm, confident energy. She carefully followed all of our instructions and reached out for clarification when needed. She has a lot of experience with high-needs animals and adapts her approach to each pet’s individual needs. She walked our dogs multiple times a day and spent plenty of time doing activities with them, just as we requested. She also took wonderful care of our home, leaving everything clean and tidy and bringing in our mail and packages while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs and home were in such capable hands. We would absolutely hire Rin again and highly recommend her!

Mark took great care of our dog and two cats while we were away for a week. He was dependable, flexible, and friendly, and our crew clearly enjoyed his company! We would gladly have him sit for us again.

Leslie was wonderful. She took great care of our two "kids" - even seamlessly managing an issue arising from our dog getting tangled up with the neighbors. I highly recommend her as a sitter!
