Great house/Cat sit
Kim and Rob are awesome and extremely interesting. The two kitties Alex and Cheeto are adorable. The home is a beautiful well-kept home, near public transportation with easy access to all the sites of Washington D.C. They left great instructions and easy to contact at all times. I definitely recommend this sitting and guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic Sit in DC
Kim and Rob are lovely people; very friendly and welcoming, really interesting and great to spend time with. Their DC home is amazing and my month there was very comfortable, but flashed by too fast. Their two cats are a delight to look after and after they get comfortable with you, are extremely friendly and affectionate. I really hope I get the opportunity to go back in the future and will really look forward to seeing them all again.

Washington DC house/pet sit
Rob and Kim gave me a great house sit in Washington DC. They have a beautiful home in the Brookland District near the Catholic University. They were very hospitable and I enjoyed our conversations. Their cats Alex and Cheeto were good and easy to care for. There was plenty to see in DC and I enjoyed numerous towns nearby (Alexandria and Leesburg, VA, Annapolis, Baltimore Inner Harbor, Ellicott City, Frederick, MD. If you have a chance to house sit for Kim and Rob try it. I am sure you will enjoy your time in DC and the area.

Very Pleasant House sit in Washington
My husband and I are still glowing from our almost three-week house sit in Washington, DC for Kim and Rob. Our latest assignment was to care for two beautiful kitties (Cheeto and Alex), who proved to be calm, independent, and who were totally content with their daily meals and a little (but not too much) affection from us! Homeowners, Kim and Rob, were super organized. Kim gave us a thorough orientation to our house/kitty sitting responsibilities as well as the DC neighborhood we were to call “home” before she left, and provided us with physical resources (tour books, printouts, metro passes, car for grocery shopping) that helped to make our stay very enjoyable. We felt like real locals!! The one or two times we had questions, Kim and Rob were always just an email away and responded quickly to our queries. Kim and Rob’s home is on one of the DC metro lines, which made getting around very easy. And, as an added treat, these homeowners are avid film buffs with an immense library of DVD’s. After a day of sightseeing, it was fun to pick a movie for evening viewing and relax in the living room with Cheeto and Alex close by. Thank you, Kim and Rob. We would be happy to return some time and highly recommend you for future Mindmyhouse house sitters.

Wonderful!
Kim and Rob were wonderful people to sit for. They are super-friendly, smart, excellent communicators, and were also incredibly kind and generous people. We made to feel very welcome in their beautiful home, and even had the opportunity to get to know them better after our sit, which was a real treat as they are fantastic company. Kim and Rob have two gorgeous cats - Alex and Cheeto - who are very low maintenance and have lovely characters. The house was just a dream - very comfortable, safe, spacious, beautifully decorated and in nice area with good cafes and excellent transport links to central DC. We feel very honoured to have sat for them and would highly recommend this house sit. We loved every moment of our sit in DC for Kim and Rob.
