“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”

“Tamara is outstanding on communication and was very attentive to Valentine’s needs and comfort. It is a big plus that she is very near a park space. I would use her again and recommend her without hesitation.”

“Elizabeth cared for our pup for the first time on our longest period away from her during an international trip. We never had to worry or wonder how she was because of how consistently Elizabeth kept us in the loop. We are so thankful we found her, she took amazing care of our baby!”

“Incredible! From the first moment, I knew my pup was safe and loved on. Abigail consistently communicated how he was doing and sent pictures that made my day every day! I highly recommend her services. I have booked with Rover before, but this was by far the best experience.”

“Loic sent us photos almost every day of our dog enjoying walks, often at the Arboretum. We wondered if he would prefer to stay forever! We'll definitely reach out to Loic again.”

“Such a great experience with Asha! She communicated well and took great care of our girl. I’m so grateful for her. She was available last minute and she came through in a big way for our family. I would highly recommend her. Our dog can be needy and she seemed happy when we picked her up.”


“Jeison did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Pax. He was dependable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure Pax was comfortable, safe, and well looked after. I really appreciated the communication and peace of mind while I was away. Pax was happy and well cared for, and I would absolutely trust Jeison to watch him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”


“I live out of state and was just visiting DC as a last minute fun day with a few friends for half the weekend. Although she has come a long ways, my dog is very nervous and shy because of her past before she was rescued. So it was important for me to find a sitter in DC just in case anything happens, I would be able to get to my dog quickly. If I could give 10 stars, I would...Melissa sent me text and picture updates which made me feel very confident that Maisey was happy with her stay. Melissa took Maisey and her dog Hershey to the dog park and pet store. She even gave Maisey her own treats and favorite snack, peanut butter! This was more than I expected and I am grateful for that. Melissa was very accommodating to my schedule and I am extremely happy with the quality of care she provided for Maisey! I would recommend everyone to have Melissa watch their dog. ”

“Christian took great care of Winnie, and was very responsive to our communications when we were on vacation. I would book Christian again next time we need a dog sitter.”


“Caleb was fantastic—friendly and communicative. Lisboa had a wonderful time staying with him, and having another friendly dog around for her to play with was an absolute bonus for keeping her socialized and active. She came home happy and well-cared for. I would definitely trust Caleb to watch Lisboa again!”

“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”

“Second time when Terrence took care of Joey, 8 month lab, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service! Joey was so excited to see him and jumped straight into his car, ready for 2 weeks of fun! Thank you and looking forward to next time!”


“Fabian was amazing and so flexible with our needs. He went above and beyond and we never once worried about our pets while under his care! Highly recommend”

“First stay with Cayla and she was amazing! Very professional and pleasant energy. Phantom was happy upon drop-off and happy upon pick-up so that let me know that Phantom was well taken care of. Definitely looking fwd to re-booking in the future.”

“Francise was great! She was able to accommodate us on short notice when our plans changed and was super sweet with Seamus. We got lots of pictures of him while we were away and I was very comfortable he was being well taken care of. I would absolutely use her again!”

“Callen took wonderful care of Howie and sent many cute pictures and updates!! She is a great sitting and I would highly recommend her (I’m sure Howie would as well😊)”

“Megan did a great job watching Reggie! I was nervous leaving him with a sitter for the first time because he is a reactive dog and gets nervous with new people, but he seemed to be having a great time. She was very communicative and flexible. We will definitely book with her again!”

Gil took excellent care of Leo. I appreciated the updates received, and loved how much play time and walks he had. Leo is full of energy and loves to play. He seemed very happy in his care. Minus my pup tearing up his own bed his stay was without incident. We'll be using Gil again.

Melissa took such great care of Ace last weekend! She sent lots of photos and updates, and I loved seeing him make himself right at home. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how welcome she made him feel. Seeing him so relaxed helped me enjoy my trip knowing he was in good hands. I’d happily book with Melissa again!

Samantha was wonderful! She took great care of Chloe and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. Chloe had a minor medical issue that required some extra attention, and Samantha made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. She was kind, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated the extra care she gave Chloe and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Maria and Emmet surpassed my expectations! I’m typically apprehensive about boarding because my dogs are leash reactive, and our move from a townhouse with a yard to apartment living has come with its own challenges. Maria and Emmet took the time to do a meet and greet and asked thoughtful questions to better understand my dogs’ temperaments, schedule, and routine. They were highly adaptable as we ironed out the details for my trip, sent plenty of pictures, and were quick to respond to my messages. Their care and attention to my dogs’ needs put my worries at ease right away, and I was able to fully relax while I was gone. It was clear from the pictures they sent that my dogs felt safe, happy, and completely like themselves! I have an upcoming procedure that I needed boarding for, and I absolutely would have booked them again if they weren’t already booked. I highly recommend Maria and Emmet, and they will definitely be my top choice in the future!

Alexis was wonderful and I would highly recommend her services. She is very kind, experienced with animals and I loved how communicative she was when keeping us up to date while boarding our dog. "Zeke" was super happy staying there and I will be in touch with her very soon to take care of him again. Thanks Alexis!!

Terrance was excellent! He took great care of Rocky and kept me updated with plenty of photos. Rocky had a minor health issue we were monitoring, and Terrance was very attentive and communicated with me throughout his stay. I really appreciated the peace of mind. I would definitely book with him again without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Janel was amazing at communicating. She allowed me and Atlas to join her for a walk before the booking so Atlas could meet her ahead of time and see where he was staying. Janel sent a lot of picture updates which I appreciated. Our train home was delayed and Janel was very accommodating with moving the pick up time. Thank you so much for taking care of Atlas while his dads were out of town!

Dani was great! We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, which always helps Luna settle in faster when I drop her off. Dani sent plenty of pics and messages, and the vibe wasn't just "taking care of Luna for a little while," it was "having a ton of fun with Luna." Will definitely bring Luna back. Would recommend!

Juan & Felipe were amazing! They kept me updated on while we were away with text messages and photos. I felt very comfortable and at ease while away. They clearly showered him with love and fetch as he fell asleep on the way home! Thanks to the two of them and Romo for sharing the love and toys 🧸🐶❤️
