“Lillian took great care of our terrier mix, Martha, and made sure she got along with Lillian’s pups and another boarder. She sent several pics of Martha out and about while we were away. Lillian always responded quickly to our texts and left us feeling like Martha was being well cared for. We absolutely will consider using her services again next time we need to board Martha.”
“Tamara was a wonderful sitter who provided timely responses, pictures, and updates throughout the duration of my dogs time with her. I highly recommend Tamara.”
“Corey is a great resource on Rover! He took our request last minute and was really courteous, attentive, and professional. He kept us updated while we were away with messages and pictures everyday. We will definitely be using Corey's services again.”
“I really appreciate all of Sabrina assistance and the proper support with the care of Kamara my fur baby, Sabrina understood the assignment needed for the caring attention that Kamara needed being that Kamara is a elderly dog and my little heart beat. Thank you for your Service Sebrina, God Bless you.”
“We spent quite a bit of time searching for the perfect sitter for our senior Jack Russell Terrier, Bonzi, as he has only ever stayed with family. We met Johnathan and knew he was the one. He is friendly, kind, and caring. Bonzi stayed with him for a week and Johnathan treated him like a member of the family. He also stayed in touch with us sending updates and photos. Bonzi was well looked after and we will not hesitate to use Johnathan again. We are so happy we found him.”
“Yolande kept my Kane from 6/25-6/29/25. She quickly responded to me from beginning to end. She sent me pictures/videos daily and she even dropped him off to me at the end of the visit. My Kane ran back to her when she was leaving to let her say goodbye and pet him. I would absolutely recommend Yolande and will be using her again in the future.”
“Very pleasant and inviting! Cared for my big boy Adonis like he was her own. I really appreciated the video and photograph check-ins throughout his stay with her. It was definitely comforting with it being my first time leaving him with a sitter. I definitely recommend her home and her care for your fur babies!”
About: My love of dogs began when my mom got a puppy when I was in sixth grade. Now I am a dog mom. I've been the proud mom of a Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix for the past 4 years. I've raised her since she was 3 months old, through potty training, puppy training and intermediate training. I'd love to care for your fur baby too. I'm at home during the day and available to drop in/ walk your fur baby. I am available in the mornings and in the afternoon. I have an unfenced end unit townhouse. There is grass on the side of my house and plenty of unfenced grass in my townhome community. I work from home almost every day of the week so I will have time to take care of your baby during the weekday. I'm able to get out and walk dogs on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard and a fenced play area in front of my house. I have a friendly fur baby who likes to play and thinks she's the leader of the pack.
“Elizabeth was wonderful! Super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was proactive about making sure our dog was as comfortable as possible during her stay. It was clear that she is knowledgable and experienced in caring for all kinds of dogs.”
“Sabrina cared so much for my boy Ace that he didn't want to come home! From consistent updates to an engaging itinerary and even managing his medical schedule, Sabrina did not disappoint. She openly communicated throughout his stay and managed his visit with much care. Ace will be hanging with her again soon.”
“Jeff was amazing! Filling in when another Rover couldn't complete our stay. He took in Cupcake and took great care of her, sending updates and providing flexibility during pick up given our shift in sitter. Super duper appreciated the love afforded our girl.”
“Patience was truly amazing with Poncho. She gives a lot of love and care to your pet and will treat them just like they are at home. She is also a very kind person. You can tell she is passionate about animals. She gave lots of updates, walked and played with Poncho all day, and was even kind enough to extend my time by an hour when I was running late. I will absolutely book again and I recommend her!”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Angela and her family took amazing care of my dog while I was out of state. She is really kind, friendly and thoughtful and sent lots of pictures and updates daily. My dog is usually indifferent to new people but was immediately excited to meet Angela. I could tell that my dog was relaxed and comfortable in her care. 10/10 Will definitely be booking again!”
“Krista and Kira are WONDERFUL! Clearly great dog lovers and were so sweet with our senior tripod. He was clearly so happy and relaxed with them and that made being away stress free! Thank you SO MUCH!”
“Rut and her husband took care of Georgie for two nights this week. As a pup parent, having reliable care for my fur baby is at the top of my priority list and Rut is definitely just that. Not only did I not have to worry about his safety and well being but I was certain he was having a blast. I got frequent and detailed updates throughout his whole stay and Rut was incredibly flexible with pick up, drop off and my changing plans.”
“I want to say that Tasha is just the best sitter I have had, and here are the specific things I was looking for that Tasha provided. She is super friendly, responds within a very short time to requests, knows what she is doing with dogs, and is very accommodating. I have periods of travel and odd arrival home times, and she always tries to help make it possible to pick up my Irish Setter Riley. Riley is an energetic soul, like all setters, and though there is not an ounce of harm in her, she is on the go, a strong dog, and needs a good handler. I feel safe leaving her with Tasha, and that peace of mind is great. With my previous sitter, Riley sometimes came back smelling of smoke, which is why I started looking elsewhere. I'm glad I found Tasha and would thoroughly recommend her every time. Mark”
“Loic was absolutely wonderful! He is extremely professional, kind and responsive. He also sent us updates and pictures, which was great. We needed a sitter on a last minute basis and he came to our rescue. We couldn’t be happier with his loving care of our dog. In sum, we highly recommend Loic!”
“Colleen and her family took wonderful care of my dog. She is a very trustworthy and conscientious dog mom. I appreciate that her home has a fenced yard. She also was able to administer daily high drops to my senior dog. I received updates and photos. Thank you Colleen and family!”

This sitter has restored our hope in leaving our little guy with someone who truly cares for and spoils him. She’s very responsive and sends updates frequently. Drop off and pick up is smooth and we have no complaints. She even taught him how to go up and down stairs and a few manners. We have rebooked several times and plan to continue.
Diego and Natalia are THE BEST SITTERS for my Snow who demands love, attention and closeness. The photos of Snow playing with their cat's toy, at the window with their cat, both of them looking out of the the window is a regular meeting place with each other. At home Snow has started perching herself on the back of our sofa and even enjoying some of her best naps of the day. My family is very grateful for the care and attentiveness of Diego and Natalia toward Snow but also to the other pets being boarded during the same time. Photos of the pets hanging out together are reassuring that all the pets are well regarded by these sitters.
Thanks for taking Roo with short notice! She always has a good time and is happy to go to see Ciera. She is happy when she comes home and doesn’t seem stressed at all. I know Roo is cared for by photo updates of her being a ham! Will be my go to boarder after 2 perfect and stress free bookings! So easy to drop off, and communicate clearly without hassle. ❤️
You da best! Thanks for caring for Blaze as you did, thank you for the daily pics, thank you for being flexible, agreeing to extend Blaze’s stay after unforeseen changes and thank you for your clear responsive communication. I would book Jayla again in a heartbeat and I know Blaze would agree.
Tommy H.responded quickly and thankfully accommodated a last minute booking. He had an organized approach with intros, drop off, and pickup. He communicated daily with updates. When flight was delayed, he worked with another family member for pickup. 5 out of 5 gold 🌟 star service. Highly recommend Tommy H.
Brieana and her family were absolutely amazing! We had a last minute cancellation with the person who typically watches Vito and she responded immediately and set up a meet greet. We could sense the comfort Vito felt with the family the second he walked in so we already had an overwhelming feeling of calm going into our weekend. When picking him up he was so happy but also super relaxed and it was clear he had a great stay with them. I couldn’t suggest Brieana enough. She will be at the top of our list for Vito I’m pretty sure he’s found a new best friend 😊.
