Pet Sitters in Mclean, VA

Lauren & Allen

Lauren and her family were a perfect fit for us! She was communicative, reliable, and I felt like our animals were well loved. Our very reserved cat even came up to say hi to the kids which is a very good sign. Our house was left in immaculate condition. Sheets were washed, dishes were put away, trash was taken out, things in their place, as clean as we left it. We didn’t ask them to do any of that stuff, either. They just did it - above and beyond! Knowing they were at our home enabled us to really relax on our trip and to come home to a tidy house was the icing on the cake. We would welcome them back anytime!

Amy & Dave

Amy and Dave were excellent sitters for our pets and home. They sent plenty of updates and we could tell our pets were happy and comfortable in their care. Our house was professionally cleaned right before their arrival, and when we returned after their stay, it was just as clean, if not cleaner. We would be happy to have them sit for us again!

Elena

This was our first time using a Trusted Sitter, and I'm so grateful Elena chose to stay with our precious pup. He's a senior dog that requires a little extra attention, and Elena was so kind and caring with him. From our very first zoom call to get to know one another, I knew Elena would be a great fit. She was very organized, told us what she needed to know, and was very flexible when our dates changed a bit. Elena sent several pictures of Beamer every day. My kids eagerly awaited to see what their brother was up to while we were away. He looked so happy in all of his pictures. She took him for walks and gave him plenty of cuddle time. Elena also took such great care of our home. We arrived back to a spotless house! Our experience with Elena was more than I could have hoped for using Trusted Sitter. It was like having an old friend stay over. I highly recommend Elena, and hope she will be available to stay the next time we go on vacation!

Tarek & Rawan

Tarek did a wonderful job watching my two dogs. He checked in regularly with me sending pictures and videos. Both of my pups loved their time with him and we all would be happy to have him visit again. I really appreciated how clean he left my place as well.

Maria & Annie

Maria and Annie were awesome! They kept us updated on Maya while we were out of town and I swear our home was in the exact condition we left it in like they weren’t even there! I am pretty sure they even fixed a curtain rod in our other guest room (thank you!!).

Samantha

Sam was fantastic! Very loving to our animals

Xeriqua

Xeriqua was so sweet and clearly loved my pup Luna as if she were her own dog. She left my place clean and tidy and followed all directions in my welcome guide. She was self-sufficient and also took the sweetest pictures of my Luna. I’d definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone to love on your pets for a few days!

Fiorella & Pietro

Fiorella, along with her partner Pietro, watched my cat (Adelle) and my home for 10 days. Fiorella was so easy to communicate with from the start. She made time to come by before her sit began, and kept me updated regularly while I was away. I found her to be very reliable and caring, and it was clear that Adelle warmed up to them quickly. They took excellent care of my plants and home and left everything tidy and clean. I would gladly recommend them and hope they are available for future sits with Adelle!

Susan

Susan was the perfect house sitter. She was prompt, friendly, and stayed in touch. She was genuinely interested in where we live and took wonderful care of our home. Most importantly, she was great with Ember. She obviously doted on her and Ember made friends in no time. We came back home to a happy kitty and spotless house. We would gladly have Susan back any time!

Azaria

Azaria was great! She took time to hear about all our nuances and worries in advance, which was much appreciated. She was very self-sufficient and allowed us to enjoy our time away without any concerns. She was exceptionally clean! Would be glad to have her back.

Ludmila

Ludmila was a great sitter! She took excellent care of my two cats and sent daily pictures and videos while I was away. I honestly think my cats like her more than me now. Highly recommended!

Leanne & Todd

Five stars are not enough for this super couple! Leanne and Todd were amazing, very responsible, and extremely caring to my two pets while I was away for two months. I really feel like I hit a home run with them, especially with this being my first time using TH's services. We communicated regularly and if there were any issues at the house or with the pets, they resolved them on their own. I arrived home to a spotless home and to two very happy and content pets. Todd and Leanne are like family who come to help out and settle right in. I am so grateful to them.

This had to be the best way to start my adventure into house and pet sitting on THS.  Sally and Johnny made me feel at ease the day we met with their friendly and welcoming approach.  Maude is the sweetest whippet and I adapted to her routine easily which included a lovely early morning walk in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. She ensured I broke up my working day to venture out again in the afternoon together.  Their home with it's lovely wood burner kept me warm whilst I worked, the spare room had a beautifully comfortable bed and I caught up on one of my favourite TV shows on sky whilst Maude and I played tug-o-toy. I loved every moment of my time with Maude and would do it all again in a heartbeat.  Thanks Sally, Maude and Johnny.

Jenny

Me and my girlfriend had an excellent time staying at Jenn's housesit. The dogs were very easy to take care of and great companions. The house is located in a good spot and is peaceful and quiet. Definitely would stay again!

Barbara

We had a wonderful time house sitting for Barbara and Willie who were very friendly and welcoming. We were given a very enthusiastic welcome from Firrinne and Caoimbe when we arrived. They’re both lovely natured dogs and they really enjoyed their twice daily walks on the beach and around town. The home was very comfortable and warm and we were left with good instructions about the house and how to care for the dogs. We would recommend this house sit.

Kirstin

A super short sit which felt much longer because how welcome I was made to feel. A lovely family with a lovely home.. with a lovely dog, Milo. 

How lucky I felt to get a chance to watch Scotland v Germany on a massive screen.. shame about the result but there is only so much you can ask for.

I very much hope I’m available for longer sits in the future.

Lucia

I had a wonderful stay with Lucia and sweet Frankie and Nova. They were so easy and chill to care for and great work from home companions. Nova is such a gentle dog and makes friends wherever she goes. The apartment was tidy and in a great and convenient location. I’d be happy to come sit for Lucia anytime!
