“Melanie and Greg are our go-to sitters! Our pup loves the entire family and we love how communicative and caring Melanie and Greg are when we’re traveling.”

“Laurie and Rich always take great care of Louie! He has health issues and can be fussy with food and medicine but Laurie and Rich are patient and caring and I’m never worried about leaving him with them. They also send several photos throughout the day and give regular updates.”

“I left my dog Archie with Francise for a couple days and she was great with him! He’s an anxious one and when I went to get him he seemed so happy and comfortable. Francise was great with accommodating me and had great communication while I was away.”

“Christine is always my go-to for any short or long term boarding for Oreo! She was flexible with the late pick up time that I had set and also provided updates on how Oreo was doing throughout the days he was with her. I love how there are sometimes other dogs she is taking care of so Oreo has a chance to socialize and play while I am away. Thank you again to Christine!”

“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.”

“My dog Oscar had a great time with Noah and his pups. Oscar gets nervous meeting new people, and Noah was very kind and gentle with him. Oscar LOVED playing with Rusk and River, and warmed up to their home right away. He had a lot of fun, and has since tried to steer towards their apartment on our regular walks.”

“Nina is fantastic!! She was very attentive and affectionate with Cesare, sending me messages, photos, and videos so I could see how he was doing, which made me feel very happy and relieved. Cesare was very happy in every video, playing and receiving affection from her. Cesare will definitely be going back to Nina's house.”

“I am so pleased with Nani and her services. Bella typically experiences separation anxiety. Nani was so attentive, Bella had no issues adjusting. I will definitely book with Nani again.”

“Alyce and her family are the absolute best! My dog absolutely loves staying with them and is obsessed with their sweet dog Mookie. They take amazing care of my dog when he is there and are super communicative. I could not recommend Alyce more!”

“Kelly was great. She was quick to respond initially and during Brandys visit sending pictures and updates throughout the stay. Brandy seemed very happy upon coming home. I would recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a stay. I will book again when needed.”


“Kristen and Joshua were great! They were very responsive and excellent about communicating. Cammie was very happy staying with them and their dog. Would definitely recommend them.”

“Nicole was a wonderful sitter for my Dingles - so much so that I wish I could give her more stars. This was the first time Dingles stayed with Nicole and I was a little apprehensive. But I soon started getting behavioral updates and great pictures. My dog looked happy with her new pack at Nicole’s’. I will certainly use Nicole in the future without any worries.”

“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”

“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.”

“Rae took great care of Jesse for a week. She has lots Of toys and activities for the busy pet. I’m so glad my dog also got to enjoy a vacation. I would rebook with Rae.”

“Danyelle was great! She was communicative & flexible with drop off & pick up and she sent plenty of pictures of my little guy while away. Would definitely recommend her service. Thank you for the peace of mind.”

“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”

“Jodee and AJ were incredible. Razzo got amazing attention, walks and a great grass backyard. I got tons of updates and I could tell he was in great hands. Will absolutely book with them again.”

About: I've been a dog owner for 12 years, and a dog and pet lover my whole life! I have had to send my two dogs to heaven in the last two years, and I miss having dogs in my life, but I'm not quite ready to adopt again. But I'd love to help owners with their pets, and shower them with affection and walks and dog park visits while they are in my care. Dogs are allowed on the bed and furniture in my home, of course! I telework 3 days per week, and when I am not teleworking I work short days, and am home most evenings as well. I am also available to sit in your home as well! While I don't have a yard, I live in Del Ray with many parks, trails, and dog friends to spend time with. I'm very active and love to hike and walk.

Leila was so so great watching Pixel for us while we were out of town. She sent so many updates and pictures. We could tell Pixel was comfortable and had a good time with Leila. She even went above and beyond by dropping Pixel off at our place for us. We will definitely use her again!

I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. My 9 year old dog had had his teeth cleaned right before I left for a work trip. Helen toon such great care of him from giving him is medication, taking him on long walks, and loving him as if he was her own. She sent pictures and updates daily. I wasn't worried at any point. I highly recommend Helen as a sitter.

Jhonny was very responsive and provided multiple pictures of our dog having a great time enjoying walks during his boarding! Communication was a little less frequent than we’re used to, but it allowed us to really settle in to our trip without worrying about our dog. We returned to happy dog who had obviously settled in well with Jhonny by eating his meals and taking his meds! We will look forward to working with Jhonny again in the future.

Kasia is fantastic. During our black lab's boarding this weekend, she kept us in the loop on everything with lots of photos and video updates throughout our trip, so we always knew our pup was happy and well cared for. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. We came home to a relaxed, happy doggo and never had a moment of worry while we were away. If you're looking for a boarder you can fully trust, Kasia is it. Highly recommend!
Great experience! My regular sitter wasn’t available, so I tried Victor for boarding and couldn’t be happier. They communicated clearly, sent daily photos, took my dog Yaara on walks, and spent quality time with him. Most importantly, my dog seemed relaxed and unstressed after. I’d definitely book with Victor again.

Laurie and Rich always take great care of Louie! He has health issues and can be fussy with food and medicine but Laurie and Rich are patient and caring and I’m never worried about leaving him with them. They also send several photos throughout the day and give regular updates.

Every year I go on an important week plus business trip around Memorial Day. My most anxiety producing issue is finding the right person to take care of my now 13 1/2 year old doxie mix Bridget---who is very attached to me, my BFF, who can have some separation anxiety, but manages extremely well and is pretty amazing for her age. It's hard to to book over the holiday and can be hard to find someone in my neighborhood, Georgetown. I wasn't having a lot of luck, but when I found Omar, I knew my luck had changed! He responded quickly and told me he loved animals more than people, especially dogs, and after Bridget's stay with him, I know this to be true. He provided the companionship and extra-ordinary tender loving care that Bridget needed to be secure while I was away, especially for an older dog. It gave me peace of mind. I loved seeing my videos of Bridget while she was on her walks or just being comfy at home with Omar in his immaculate house. Omar truly is an animal whisperer and I would highly recommend him to take care of your very special member of your family.
Laura and her partner were so wonderful with Millie for a two night stay. They were super attentive and took great care of our mini dachshund (who needs a lot of attention and love). We received plenty of pics and updates, as well. I will be definitely be booking with Laura again soon!

Kruti and Aaron did a fantastic job watching my dog! I have a bigger dog who can be a handful sometimes, but they were unfazed and brought calming energy which was appreciated. They provided daily updates and communicated just the right amount so I knew he was doing well in n their care. Their building and area is very dog friendly. Highly recommend!

Michael took the best care of Chopper! Michael was super easy to work with, provided lots of pictures of Chopper’s day, and overall treated him as his own. Chopper has lymphoma, and Michael and his family were so good with him! Chopper absolutely loved his stay, and we would definitely book another stay when we head out of town next time. Thank you, Michael and family, for taking such great care of Chops!
