“My dog had a great time at daycare! Fengyuan provided regular updates throughout the day and I felt comfortable leaving Flynn in his care. Pick up and drop off was quick. Flynn came home happy and most importantly tired after a fun day. Would definitely book again!”

“First, I want to say thank you for taking good care of Lex. He had a great time and learned so much under your care. Your dog was gentle to him and served as a good mentor.”


“Sarachai takes wonderful care of my Monti (see cute goldendoodle pic!). My dog cries with happiness as we drive up to his house and pulls me to the front door. The family is great about sending pics and letting me know how my dog is doing during the day. I am extremely comfortable with letting Monti stay. I'll continue to be a repeat customer.”

“Nya was so good with Benji! She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure he was good and comfortable which would put any dog owner at ease while away. Thank you again Nya! Will definitely be booking again very soon!”

About: Hi! I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and have always been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their furry friends. I work great with dogs of all sizes, cats, fish, and even lizards/geckos! I’m currently a nursing student in Arlington, and I’m available afternoons/evenings during the week as well as weekends. I’m a trustworthy, detail-oriented caregiver who treats every pet like my own. Calm, patient, and routine-focused so your pets always feel safe and understood. My care style • Follow your exact instructions (feeding, meds, crates, etc.) • Provide structured walks & enrichment (snuffle mats, games, basic cues) • Safety first: harness/leash checks, tidy spaces, controlled entries/exits • Frequent photo/video updates + quick responses What to expect A happy, tired pet, a clean home, and clear communication from start to finish. House rules I follow • No off-leash walks without permission • No dog park visits without approval • Wipe paws after walks • Fresh water always available I am currently a nursing student at GWu, but due to my open schedual I have a lot of free time to care for your furry pets! I can meet with the clients before hand and go over the specific safety measures that they take in their home for their animals and feeding schedules.
“My dogs flew out of the car and pulled me to the door to see Brian, who seems to be their new favorite person. In my opinion, that is the best endorsement you could get! Happy dogs who are BEYOND excited to go back!”

“Haley was a real lifesaver for us. We had a very last-minute request due to an emergency and needed someone we could trust with our senior dog, and Haley agreed to watch him without hesitation. She took great care of him and gave us real peace of mind during a stressful situation. She was also very flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: I have always had pets in my life, ranging from small to large dogs. Each one of them has been either adopted or rescued, including my little mutt I own now. They are my favorite companions and I love taking them with me wherever I go. I am also a very active person and I am able to provide your lovely animals all the exercise they need! I have a hybrid work schedule. I work remotely most days though sometimes I have to go into the office. Schedule can be flexible though. I like to give my pets a lot of love and attention but also respect their space. I always communicate with the owner and ask what their pets like and dislike.
“Scruffy loved his three days of doggy daycare with Miryam! She took him for lots of walks and he came home very happy. She was a great communicator and we look forward to seeing her and her husband again!”

“Amal was a great host for Fozzie. She was communicative throughout the day, sending pictures and updates, and we felt very comfortable with Fozzie in her hands!”

About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
About: I’m the mother of a rescue chihuahua that we adopted during the pandemic. I grew up with dogs and have loved dogs since I can remember. To me they are my family! I believe in positive reinforcement to keep a happy and balanced pup. I also believe in keeping a schedule to feed and walk your pup so that they know what to expect and can thrive. I am happy to keep your fur baby during the day or for boarding during the night. I work remote and have flexibility to work around your pup’s schedule. I live in a two bedroom condo with my husband and chihuahua, so I accept small breeds only (up to 20 lbs.). When your pup is at my home, I’ll feed them and take them for walks according to your desired schedule. Also, when I take your pup for a walk to the green areas surrounding my building, I'll always keep them on a leash, and will NOT take them to a dog park. I do not take my own dog to dog parks given that small breeds are more fragile. I'll be sending you photos of your pup so that you can know what we're up to!

I was very fortunate to find Elizabeth at the last minute when I traveled to Alexandria to visit my son and family. Although I only needed her to watch Demi for several hours over the weekend, she quickly established a relationship with my sweet, traumatized dog and greatly eased my burden of having her watched when I had to attend some functions without her. I’m glad to know I can rely on her during future visits.
Troy was great! I adopted a dog and needed a sitter to watch him while I get him used to being crated when I go to work. He took the last minute request, was responsive, and took great care of my Beau! He also reported on some of his behaviors for me which was very helpful. All in all a great sitter and I would absolutely leave Beau with him in the future!

Oh my goodness Nya was amazing! Such acseeet personality and she really came through for me in a crucial moment. I had to move and needed a sitter for my doggie ladybug and what an amazing job she did with keeping me posted and beautiful pictures of ladybug throughout her day with Nya. I would definitely us her services when we need help and I highly recommend her
