“This last week Irene and James have been a lifesaver! I now need to have my dog in daycare full time which she is not used to and usually very nervous. I’ve had my dog stay with Irene and James for dog sitting and could not be happier. My dog has thrived staying with them. She is comfortable, eats, drinks water, and interacts with them instead of shutting down. I have been so amazed by their care of my dog and the consistent text and photos updates throughout the day. So thankful to have found Irene and James to care for my dog and fully recommend them for any dog care services!”
“I cannot recommend Scarlett enough. My pup has the BEST time with her and Lassie. His tail is always wagging when he comes see her for his regular daycare. Scarlett’s communication is excellent and I really love all the pictures and video updates she sends throughout the day. She makes sure your pup has a great balance of walks, enrichment, and rest throughout the day. I can see how she really takes the care to love your pup like her own. I couldn’t be happier, thank you Scarlett!!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my dogs! She took excellent care of them and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and little notes, which really reassured me that my pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring with animals.”
“Miryam treats our 9-week puppy well, playing with her patiently and taking her out for potty break every 2 hours. She sends us photos to keep us in the loop throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Jena was so wonderful with my dog Hazel! Hazel is a very nervous dog with separation anxiety and she made sure to keep me updated throughout the day with messages, pictures, and videos. She was very easy to coordinate with and we had a great initial meeting over zoom. Would be happy to have Jena watch Hazel any time!”
“Catherine took care of Nandi perfectly, giving him plenty of playtime and exercise throughout the day. She kept me updated with videos, which was so reassuring, and Nandi looked incredibly happy playing with Winston and Bauer. Highly recommended, and I would definitely love to book with her again!”
“Luciana was amazing with our puppy! Communication was excellent, she sent videos and updates during the stay. My dog loved her and was happy to meet her. I will definitely book again.”
“Donna was very warm and caring towards our dog. She was very thoughtful in ensuring our dog felt comfortable and we really appreciated it. She was also fantastic in communicating with us! She clearly loves dogs and we highly recommend her!”

“Katie and Alexis are amazing! They are so kind and sweet. They put aside time to do a meet and greet and were so good to my doggie. He’s usually anxious around new people and I’ve never seen him open up so quickly!”
“Amelie is one of the kindest dog sitters we have come across. Kobe doesn’t attach himself to strangers very often, but fro. the pictures that Amelie sent throughout the day, you could tell he felt safe and cared for. Arlie is also extremely communicative, fast responding. I would highly recommend her if you live in the North Arlington VA area. We plan on making Amelie our go to sitter i. the future. Her experience and professionalism shines all around.!!”
“Tucci was calm, healthy and looking good when we picked her up from her daycare with Michael S. So she must have enjoyed playtime with Michael! Plus Michael was super easy to work with, especially when we needed to switch coordination duties from Dogmom to Dogdad, along with changes to the pick-up time. We were so grateful for Michael S.'s flexibility! We will definitely seek out Michael S. again for daycare!”
