“Meri did a super job for us. She's very caring with our dog and our dog loves her. She's also a joy to work with; she was flexible when our travel plan changed unexpectedly and we appreciated her kindness.”

“Erica did a fantastic job with our crew. Provided regular updates and was accommodating to the medical needs to our pups. Will definitely have her house sit for us again. She was wonderful.”

“Karachi provided excellent car for dog and home while we were away on vacation. She was very responsive to my messages and she helped to coordinate a trip to the vet when our dog exhibited some health issues. She left our home in great shape. I highly recommend her for both dog and house sitting.”

“Vitaly was fantastic! He carefully followed the instructions and feeding and walking schedule. He took great care of the very senior dog that required mobility assistance and is a bit incontinent. I look forward to hiring Vitaly again.”
“Kymberlee did a great job caring for Ralphie. We had some pleasant exchanges before the booking to nail down details. She sent pics and updates during her stay and left the house in good condition. Ralphie seemed happy upon our return and even looked for Kymberlee downstairs where she stayed on the day after she left! We would be grateful to have her sit for us again.”

“Sharon did an amazing job with Wrigley! She sent updates with out an asking along with great photos. She left my mace cleaner than she found it. She also left a nice little package for Wrigley when she left including some great photos and a very sweet card! I highly recommend Sharon and will definitely use again.”

“Melissa was great with our dog! She was very responsive and reached out with photos and check-ins. She also left our home in great shape. We would love to have her watch Lolli again!”

“She was so nice and took great care of my dog. My dog sometimes is timid among strangers but Heidy made the experience much better and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. 🌸🌸 10/10 recommend.”

“I can’t recommend Summar enough! She took care of my cat while I was out of town, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Not only was she proactive about cleaning and keeping everything tidy, but she also paid close attention to his medication instructions, which was a huge relief. Knowing that she’s trained in pet CPR gave me extra peace of mind, and it’s clear she’s genuinely passionate about animal care. She even sent multiple photos and updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Nicholas was so easy to work with. He took excellent care of our dog and our home, for multiple days and nights. We will definitely be asking for his services again!”

“Danny did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs, three cats and one bird over the holidays while we dealt with unexpected must do travel. When we needed to extend a few days, he graciously accommodated that as well.”

“Trisha watched our two dogs for 10 days and things could not not have been smoother. She sent daily pics and videos, and the dogs were clearly having a ball with her. Despite our two very messy dogs, Trisha had the house spotless when we returned. We definitely hope to book her services again when we travel.”

“Tamara was a replacement for a sitter who cancelled very last minute and she arranged to come over the next day for a meet and greet. She definitely loves cats and dogs and wants to do the best for them, maintaining their feeding and exercise schedules. And, they loved her! Neighbors in the building complimented Tamara's friendliness and dedication to dog walking and she cleaned up really well before we returned home. We will definitely employ Tamara when possible in the future.”

About: My sons Zach (26), Michael (22) and I have 15 Years Experience Caring For Dogs. After taking a break we want to board again since my boys are back from college and are living at home. I am recently retired and will be home all day with your precious one. We come from a very experienced family of dog lovers. My families love of dogs has spread to not just myself, but also my kids. My sons and myself always babysit for neighbors dogs. We prefer it that way than have a permanent dog. We give all our dogs great attention and free range of our home and back yard to make it feel part of our family. We babysit for one dog at a time when it is overnight. That way we can focus on his or her needs. We allow the dog free range of our home so it can feel like he or she is part of our family. We will be very loving and devoted to your pet. References are available upon your request. We have plenty of room for them to roam, including a yard for them to get fresh air, and relieve themselves between walks. We enjoy taking our dog for long walks on the C&O canal for exercise. Dogs that stay with us get up to three to four walks a day. In between those times, we lay our beds and blankets for them to rest their paws. Please feel free to book a Meet-n-Greet so that you can see how pampered your pup will be. We hope we are given the opportunity to take care of your pet in our loving home. Pet care fits great into my daily routine, I am home during week days and both of my boys love taking our dogs on long walks in the mornings and evenings. We love to take our dog we are caring for on long walks by the canal which we consider our back yard. We take amazing care of our pets in our home! No matter the dog we take care over, we will treat him or her just as if they are part of the family!
“Savina did a great job with our dog Rosie! Rosie has pretty intense separation anxiety and Savina was super understanding and gave us great, detailed updates and pictures throughout our trip.”

“We were VERY pleased with Jony. It was a last minute booking for an unexpected trip. He came to meet our dog and go over house/animal instructions beforehand. When he stayed at our house he left it cleaner than when he arrived! He took excellent care of our 10 yr old rescue German Shepherd and our chinchilla. Communication was excellent. We will definitely book with him again.”

Anna was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend. She sent regular communications and photos so I knew my pets were in good hands. Both of my pets require meds and she was able to easily handle that process at feeding time. On top of that, one of my pets had a medical episode during her stay (it happens, but was still unexpected) and while I know it was scary to witness she was able to help my dog through it and calmly communicate the series of events that led up to it so I could relay to my vet.

Karachi We are so grateful for the amazing care our little angel received. From the moment we arrived home, it was clear how much attention and love she had been given. The studio was spotless, the sheets had been washed, and everything was perfectly organized. These thoughtful details meant so much to us. Most importantly, we could tell that Gini was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during her stay. Thank you for treating her like family. She means the world to us, and we would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

Anna is a top notch pup sitter. I’m a crazy dog dad and Anna exceeded all expectations. Our dog has some separation anxiety and Anna more than accommodated his needs and made us feel very comfortable while we were gone for a couple days. She regularly provided updates which included pictures and videos. We will not hesitate to use Anna as our go-to dog sitter!

Summar is always amazing! I trust her so much with Callie and Millie and don’t want to go on trips if she’s not available… all my neighbors and employees in the building tell me how great she is with Callie and how friendly she is to everyone she meets. Callie and Millie were well taken care of again!

We so enjoyed having Miaki stay with Goose and Roo while we were out of town. Miaki is very communicative and thorough - we appreciated that she came by to meet the dogs beforehand and proactively asked questions to ensure that the dogs would be well taken care of in our absence. Miaki sent daily updates throughout our trip, and we can home to very happy dogs. We look forward to Miaki’s next visit and are sure our dogs will be excited to see her too.
Fantastic sitter! Frankie is a newly adopted rescue who is still settling in and can be a bit of a terrier goblin, so I was nervous about leaving her. Isabel was calm, patient, and clearly experienced with dogs. Frankie was happy and relaxed when I got home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Claire was easy-going, attentive and responsible, despite having to take a final exam during the days when she was house sitting. She was always flexible about meeting up before the pet sitting began. She kept my beloved dog and cat alive and well while I was out of town, which was my main priority. But she also paid attention to their moods, appetites (or lack thereof) and individual needs, which I greatly appreciated. My place was so clean when I returned, it was almost as if she wasn't even here! Thank you, Claire!

Brenay took wonderful care of my senior Pomeranian, Mickey, while I was away for a few days. Mickey has a few special needs due to his age, and she was very attentive, patient, and caring with him throughout the stay. She followed all of my instructions carefully, including using his stroller on walks and checking on him during the night to make sure he was comfortable. She also sent me updates and photos, and it was clear that she treated Mickey with a lot of kindness and affection. On top of that, she took great care of my home as well and left everything very clean and tidy, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely trust her to watch Mickey again in the future. Thank you again, Brenay!

Nuraini is the absolute best!! She was available last minute when I needed a dog sitter and came in and loved my dog like her own! She’s very communicative sends plenty of pictures of your fur baby to keep you up to date and she even sat and played with my dog after walks and check ins! I would book Nuraini everytime I need a sitter she really cares about animals and did what she could to make sure my fur baby was comfortable and warmed up to her. 100000/10!!
