“We have used Cynthia to watch our dog Ebby for years now! We highly recommend her services. Cynthia is so sweet, sends multiple updates during the stay, and has been there for us when we’ve needed her. Plus Ebby loves staying there!”

“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!”

“Lia was responsive and sent detailed updates throughout each day. Lia was also very flexible with some last minute changes I needed to make to the booking. Foxy had a great time staying with her!”

“Janel made sure Lake was well taken care of during our weekend visit to DCL! She sent frequent updates/pics and took him on plenty of walks to get his exercise in. She was also very accommodating in letting us pick him up to take him on the boat with us and drop him off afterwards. Great Rover - thanks for watching after Lake!”

“Erika was amazing and responsive! She kept me up to date on Arthur’s stay tha I didn’t have to worry if he was ok. He had lots of walks and visits to the dog park. Best of all, he came back like himself. Warm and happy.”

“Abigal was very kind with Chiquita, responsive and very communicative with pictures and daily updates on how she was doing. She accommodated a late arrival and a last minute change in pickup, and her care for my pup was visible. Great sitter and would gladly book again!”

“Katherin is the absolute best!!!! She went absolutely above and beyond caring for Hugo. She took him on lots of fun adventures everyday, including to nearby coffee shops, dog parks, and long walks to Georgetown. She also attended to an unexpected medical need and sent detailed updates everyday, which gave me such peace of mind. Thank you Katherin, Hugo was so lucky to have such a fun vacation with you!”

“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”

“Jackalyn is a very nice lady who had been patient and attentive to Ozzie and took great care of him. She was also very considerate to send me pics and update me with Ozzie’s situation of his eating, sleeping, and playing stuff. I would be highly likely to resort to her help next time when I am to be out of town. :)”

“Beth did a great job watching Cosmo! She made it very easy to schedule the pick up and drop off times, and sent lots of picture updates while I was away. I would definitely recommend Beth!”

“My first time using Rover and Andre. So glad I was able to connect with him. He was really nice, and even messaged me when I made a mistake with the booking. Super flexible, gave updates about my puppy, and was really sweet to me.”

About: Hi! I'm Krista and I genuinely love spending time with dogs and have lots of experience taking care of them. I recently said goodbye to my sweet and quirky 12‑year‑old German Shepherd. Caring for her throughout the years has given me experience with all the different stages from energetic pups to the oldies with mobility challenges and slower routines. My shepherd struggled with anxiety around other dogs, so I’m very familiar with reading body language, creating safe distance, and keeping walks calm and controlled. Throughout the years, I have cared for and spent ample time with doggos belonging to friends and family members and look forward to the opportunity to give others peace of mind when they need to leave their loved ones. Lots of walks, pets, play time and of course, photos/videos for owners! I work from home so there are lots of opportunities to go outside. There are a few parks nearby and lots of grassy areas. I also have dog beds, dishes and plenty of toys! Please note, my building unfortunately has restrictions on the following dog breeds: Akita, Alaskan Malamutes, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Malamute, Pit Bull Breeds, Presa Canarios, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Terrier and Wolf Dogs. I live in a condo building but there's lots of areas outside to venture around! I do own a crate if needed/preferred. I will bring your dog on many walks and ensure they have lots of play time (for the youngins) and rest (for the oldies) :)

“Fabian is amazing - he loves my dogs as much as I do and even takes my blind cat when I travel. I trust him 100% and wouldn't leave my children with anyone else now that I've found him. He's patient and kind and lets them sleep all over him and otherwise take over his home, couch, favorite chair and bed. He sends me little videos and pictures and I never worry how they are doing because I know they are in good hands. Highly recommend.”
“Stephanie and Luis are the absolute best! They provided fantastic care for Toto. The communication was outstanding and frequent. The reassuring updates made my time away completely stress-free. Toto came home incredibly happy and well-cared for. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Fathia was so awesome! She took such great care of Thelma and welcomed her into her family! She was warm and attentive and fun and was so joyful having Thelma with her. Got great update pics and feedback and Fathia had such a warm, confident and competent vibe, which is so important when you are far away. She gave Thelma the TLC she deserves and i would not hesitate to have her care for her again.”

“Rut was so great with my pups! They seemed very comfortable their entire stay. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures Rut provided. I’ll definitely be leaving my girls with her the next time I have to travel.”

“June was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our pup with a stranger and away from our home. We were extremely nervous, but June’s funny photos and videos of our dog reassured us that he was in wonderful hands. We will definitely reach out to June when our in-home sitter can’t help us out.”

David and Zuleirys were absolutely fantastic sitters for our pup, Henri. They were communicative, compassionate, and easy going. Oh and did I mention super friendly?? They have two adorable pups for your furry friend to play with and have easy access to dog parks and recreational space to burn off energy. David and Zuleirys were a pleasure and I would 100% engage them again (Henri agrees!!).

Lauren is as always amazing with our sweet senior boy muchacho ❤️ he can be high maintenance and require patience and they do SO well with him we absolutely know he is in great hands while they have him! That is so important and we are always so grateful. I know he loves his lil staycations with them!

Kiwi is a very shy dog, and doesn't like being around other dogs. I have no idea what magical touch Harmony has, but we picked up Kiwi far more friendly with other dogs and are even debating adopting a new dog because of her. I would highly recommend her to take of your pup and understand your pups needs!

Jim was fantastic with boarding my dog Rosy. I have a rescue pup with severe anxiety, so boarding her can be very challenging. Rosy took to Jim right away and was very comfortable with him when I came to pick her up. He kept me regularly updated on her stay with pictures which I appreciated and was very patient with Rosy. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with Jim and would recommend him highly.

Jessica was amazing and will be my go-to person every time I need to book care for Porkchop. She is experienced, patient, knows how to handle all dogs, and put me at ease right away with her demeanor. The biggest test was how Porkchop responded to her. Porkchop warmed up to Jessica instantly, pulling on his leash to go to her place right away. I trust Porkchop with Jessica and know that I am leaving Porkchop in good, reliable care when booking with Jessica. Thank you, J, for giving Porkchop love and attention and keeping him calm and happy while I was away.

Max is AMAZING! Ripley has had the pleasure of spending long weekends and most Mondays since puppyhood with Max and let me tell you she loves him! He is great with communication, sends lovely updates, and has always ensured our smaller dog is safe and well cared for. We cannot recommend Max enough. Your pet will be in great hands and might even pick up a new trick or two :)
