“Jennifer took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She communicated with me every day and sent photos. Before drop off, she called and told me about the environment at her house and asked some questions, which was reassuring. She treated our dog like he was one of her family members. He came home happy and tired, and he made friends with some other pups. We would definitely use Jennifer again as a dogsitter. Thanks!”


“Well, don’t even know where to start. Jessica has been very accommodating every time I need her to take care of my pooch. She is so caring that she noticed my pet not doing well and immediately offered to take her to the vet and took such good care of her as if she was her own. Can’t thank you enough for the level of care you gave to Carlie!!! She loves you guys and thank you from the bottom of my heart.”


“On a scale of 1 to 10, Liz is a 10+ dog boarder/caregiver. It was quite apparent in the photos and videos she sent that my 2 girls felt loved and were very happy. They made new fur friends, having such a fun time playing with Liz's 2 oh so sweet pups. I would highly recommend Liz if you need dog boarding services.”


“Susy was great with our Zoey! Zoey is very attached to us and we were very nervous to leave her, but Susy soon stole her heart! Zoey made herself right at home and quickly became protective over Susy, which means she must have been giving lots of love and treatos to Zoey. Susy sent lots of pictures and updates that showed just how much love Susy was giving Zoey and how much fun Zoey was having! Would definitely recommend trusting Susy with your pets :)”


“Our pup had so much fun staying with Charles! She had lots of attention, cuddles, and playtime with puppy pals. I love that she wasn't put in a kennel and was allowed to sleep in a home environment.”


“Milu loved staying with Phillip. We could tell by the pictures and videos he shared with us that she was happy and comfortable. We would definitely booked with him again. 100% recommended.”


“Larissa was a wonderful sitter! She kept us informed with texts, pics, and videos. Our dog had a great time with her. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner.”


“I was worried with this being our first time boarding our dog with someone we didn’t know personally. Jessica put us at ease and really had everything for Scout to have her own little vacation while we were on ours. My girl will definitely be coming back if we ever need a sitter again!”


“she was very nice and made us feel very comfortable leaving our pet in her care. She communicated with us during our vacation letting us know how our pet was doing during her stay. I recommend her to anyone who looking for a sitter for their pet ?. I look forward to do business with her again.”



“Lesley took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. We were in a bind and needed someone last minute. She responded immediately and was very flexible. She sent us updates, pictures, and a video to let us know how he was doing. It was obvious that he was having a great time with Lesley. We will definitely use her again!”


“Margaret was wonderful! My dog looked like she was on her own vacation at Margarets house. She would send me pictures of Lucy playing in the yard and what bedding Lucy picked. Lucy loved being at Margarets house. I highly recommend Margaret!”


About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in out daily life alone the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.

“Ashley did a fantastic job dog sitting Emma for me! Ashley was extremely professional and made sure to give me updates daily, including pictures of Emma. Ashley was happy to fulfill Emma’s daily routines as well as some extra care and attention. Thank you, Ashley!”
