Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!

Lia’s communication is always on point! Charlie and I recently moved to DC and looking for a new sitter. Lia was honestly the best sitter for Charlie! She went above and beyond for Charlie even accommodated to his spoiled picky eating behavior 😂. Honestly I want to gate keep Lia but I think everyone deserves to have a sitter like her.

Katherin is the absolute best!!!! She went absolutely above and beyond caring for Hugo. She took him on lots of fun adventures everyday, including to nearby coffee shops, dog parks, and long walks to Georgetown. She also attended to an unexpected medical need and sent detailed updates everyday, which gave me such peace of mind. Thank you Katherin, Hugo was so lucky to have such a fun vacation with you!

Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. And my pup seemed to have a great time playing with her dog, Murphy! Overall, Sabrina is a dependable choice if you need someone to care for your pet, and I plan to book her services again.

Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!

Sky was amazing with my senior dog! From the moment we did the meet and greet with her own gentle, friendly dogs, I knew my pup was in good hands. Sky took extra time to understand my dog’s special needs, asking thoughtful questions about her routine, health, and comfort. As an older dog owner, I appreciated how attentive and patient she was, making sure my dog felt safe and well cared for. The daily photo and video updates were a wonderful reassurance, and it was clear my dog was happy and relaxed. I can’t recommend Sky enough, especially for those with senior pets who need that extra bit of care and attention!

Christine watched Miso for the first time for a night so I could celebrate my birthday. Communication was great before and during my dog's time there. I appreciated Christine being flexible with my inconsistent plans for pick up and drop off. I also very much appreciated that Miso was returned to me tired from playing so much hahaha... Was able to have a calm day after lots of celebrating!

Shelby was one of the best sitters Miso has ever had- she was easygoing, super communicative, and made sure Miso received the absolute best care even though Miso has an ever growing list of needs as she’s gotten older.

We went on vacation - leaving our dog Rex with Ken for a week. From the meet and greet, it was clear Ken was kind and was going to treat Rex like his own. While we were away, Ken provided us updates and spoiled Rex. He made the whole process seamless and provided us with the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation knowing Rex was in good hands.

Yahaira was so sweet to my Goldendoodle. She took her on walks in the city and even brought her along to the farmer's market. This worked out great for me since I want my dog to be comfortable in stimulating environments. Best part was that Yahaira was super communicative and quick to respond, which all pet parents can appreciate. She reached out when she was curious about my pup's behavior and sent updates with pics throughout the stay.
