5. Luciana V.
“Luciana has kept our pup numerous times—for long stays and day boarding. We always know he’s in fantastic hands and completely trust her for all aspects of care. She send great photos and videos regularly. We will definitely continue to use her for any babysitting.”
6. Walker & Brennan B.
“I was in a bind looking for daycare for my girl, Maisy, and Walker and Brennan agreed to watch her fairly last minute. They took great care of her and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures of her having a blast running around in the backyard and hanging out with their dog, Dolly. Maisy very clearly had such a fun day and appeared to be comfortable in their home with a huge smile on her face when I came to pick her up. She has been fast asleep ever since we got home! Their dog, Dolly, is also an absolute sweetheart and greeted Maisy as if they were already friends, despite them never having met before. I would definitely recommend Walker and Brennan to others :)”
7. Hk C.
“I am super happy with this pet sitter. This is her full time retirement job so my dog receives the care, stimulation, and attention it needs in a safe and comfortable environment. I can’t use conventional daycares since my dog is a foster and there are increased risks of fights and injuries with many dogs and not enough one on one attention. Her yard has a high and fully secured fence and is big enough to run around in for my husky. She owns a dog that is very friendly which helps give my dog the company and exercise he needs from playing tag in the yard. Huskies have high exercise needs and by the end of the day my husky is tired which is great and less work for me to do. My dog is also slightly special needs and inclined towards seizures and she was very accommodating and administered his medicine when I didn’t have time to get to it one morning. She is quick and diligent with responses and kept track of everything through the day so I got a report from rover that told me how many times he peed or pooped that day, as well as videos and pictures. This will be my go-to for daycare and pet sitting needs for as long as I have my foster dog. Would highly recommend if you want an ideal place to leave your dog where you can be assured that it will be safe and receive full attention and care.”
8. Natalie Q.

About: Hey there, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 Are you seeking top-notch care and companionship for your furry friend? Look no further! I'm a dedicated 22-year-old with a passion for pups, working from home and ready to give your dog the time of their life. My mini Labradoodle, trained as my emotional support dog, is the epitome of sweetness and charm. Together, we offer tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of love. Plus, with the convenience of living right across the street from Shirlington Dog Park, your pup will have endless opportunities for fun and socialization. With flexible scheduling and personalized attention, your pup will feel right at home. Ps. I have an indoor dog park right in my apartment complex so there is always opportunity for potties and play time☺️ Pet care is a cornerstone of my daily routine, woven seamlessly into each day. Mornings kick off with a refreshing walk or play session, setting the tone for a day filled with fun and activity. Throughout the day, I make sure to check in on my furry friend, offering companionship and care as needed. Whether it's a midday stroll, some playtime at the dog park, or simply cuddling up on the couch, my pet's well-being is always a top priority. In the evenings, we wind down together, enjoying quality time and relaxation. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are paramount when caring for pets, especially in the unique setting of an apartment. In my home, I ensure that all potential hazards are removed or secured, creating a safe space for pets to roam and play.
10. PAUL B.
“Paul took care of my dog, Daisy, many times. He was a great care giver for her. She was very happy to see Paul, so much so that we, her parents, didn't exist when she saw Paul. Paul is very organized and structured so if you have a routine for your pet, Paul would be an excellent sitter.”
11. Jenovie Y.
“Jenovie - was wonderful with Olive. She was responsive and did everything to make sure Olive was comfortable and happy with the two days I left her for day care. It takes Olive a while to adapt to not being with me (Velcro dog made worse due to covid work from home). I was pleased to see Olive to start warming up to her). I will definitely be taking her back. Btw an added benefit was yhat Jenovie was very flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
