Paula was amazing. I came in from out of town and arrived extremely late. She was very accommodating. I had no doubt that Caesar was in good hands.

This was Lady's first sleep over with Svitlana, and although Lady is only 4 years old, she is deaf, and Svitlana does a great job of making her feel at home. We are very thankful to have found such a welcoming and safe place for Lady when we are away.

Hillary is a great sitter. A dog lover, she was so engaged and involved with our 2 Goldens during the week they stayed with her and her family. She sent multiple pictures, videos, and texts every day. The dogs were in great shape when we picked them up and it was clear that that they had been very well cared for. It is so comforting to know that your beloved pets are in good hands and Hillary exudes that type of confidence in her care. We are empty nesters and could tell from the videos and pics that the dogs loved playing with her children. I highly recommend Hillary!

Hallie was incredibly caring and kind to my dog. She took him outside to play, and their cute backyard was perfect for him. She kept me updated the entire time. If I return to VA, I will definitely leave my dog with them again.

We boarded our pup at Katina & Cheryl’s for a long weekend, and we’ll definitely be using them again! They were so friendly toward us and diligent about their own pets, which made us very comfortable trusting them with ours. Our pup was well cared-for and seemed to have a blast with them! We also appreciated the updates. Would highly recommend!

Mary and her family are AWESOME! My dog Blue is a very small papillon and can be a little shy at first. Mary and her family did such a wonderful job making Blue feel right at home. She sent tons of super cute photos and updates and her son even brushed little Blue! I know my pup was living it up at her home and I felt so comfortable leaving her there. When I picked Blue up I could tell she really acclimated to being there! Mary’s family has two sweet doggies as well so Blue got some extra doggy socialization while she was there too. I’d recommend Mary and fam in a heartbeat and hope that Blue will be able to stay there again. 10/10 absolutely would recommend!

S. is the most loving pet owner I have ever known. She is not only an animal lover, but she is extremely knowledgeable about various breeds of every animal. S. is also a very responsible, mature person who takes her obligations seriously and would never let down anyone she has made a commitment to.

Benson loved his stay with Jani and her pups! She sent lots of photos of them playing and took him on long walks. He was exhausted when we got home from all of the fun and he’s a puppy so that’s not easy to do! We would definitely book her again.

Scott and his family took the best care of Bonsai. I will absolutely book with him again. Scott made sure my dog met his dogs on neutral territory, took time to orient my dog to his home, and is an excellent communicator. You can book with him when he's not watching my dog!

Caitlin gives the best of care, above and beyond! Her daily pictures showed my BonnieBlue was very happily engaged with her or her poodles or other boarding dogs. I left her for 10 days away for the first time. I am very pleased and plan to leave her in Caitlin's care the next time I am away.
