“Stephen was amazing. He took in our pups on short notice and was very thorough with their care regime. He kept us updated with pictures and he took such good care of our fur babies. Stephen and his family are a blessing and we highly recommend them to love on your fur babies too.”


“Audree was an amazing rover! She was very communicative and my dogs absolutely loved her … even my little dachshund who has separation anxiety. The dogs were treated like they were her own and had a blast! Highly recommend using her :)”


“Tiffany is a compassionate pet care giver whom has shown my dog Max much love while we were away for weeks at a time. If you are looking for that special one that will allow you to relax while you are away on business or vacay. She’s the one. Thanks Tiffany”


“We had an amazing experience leaving our two dogs with Luzvin and her family for a week while we were on vacation. From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease knowing they would be in great hands. The best part was the spacious, fenced-in yard where the dogs could play and run around freely. Luzvin took them on daily walks, ensuring they got plenty of exercise and fresh air. What really stood out was the personalized attention they received. Luzvin's family was actively involved in caring for the dogs, and it was clear they all genuinely loved animals. With no other clients at the time, we didn’t have to worry about our dogs being around other animals, which was important since one of our dogs can be a bit unpredictable with others. One of the highlights of our experience was how communicative Luzvin was throughout the week. She sent us tons of pictures, videos, and updates every single day, which made us feel so connected to our dogs even though we were far away. It was such a comfort to see how happy and well taken care of they were! Luzvin’s attention to detail and dedication to our pets made us feel confident that we made the right choice. We’ll definitely be coming back for future stays and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


“Thank you so much for taking care of our little guys this weekend. Also thanks for the updates it gave my wife peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely be working with you in the future.”


“I absolutely love it when jazzy goes there. She gets an opportunity to play with other dogs. They walk a lot. He always sends videos and daily summaries. I could not see taking her anywhere else and I don’t see anyone tapping how well she is taken care of when she is there.”


“Jim was very accomodating in terms of scheduling. He took great care of my 6 month old Lab mix. She has a lot of energy but Jim kept her busy. I will definitely use Jim's service again!”


“This is our furry wiggle butts 3rd stay with Jessie. They get so excited when we turn down her street its almost as if we could just let them out of the car and they would find her.”


“Saroj was a wonderful and attentive sitter. She made sure that jampa was happy and comfortable at all times. she absolutely fell in love with Kaya, her beautiful Havanese pup. Saroj sent me daily photos and always responded to my questions. I am definitely returning!”


“Tracey was awesome. She allowed Chance the opportunity to be out of his crate at night and with his new friends. Chance was sad when it was time to leave. Thanks again. I will use Tracey in the future.”


“Brenda sent me at least 3 pics of my dog everyday he spent with her and Rocky during my vacation. Knowing that my baby is in safe hands and feels at home is one thing I don’t have to worry about when he stays with Brenda.”


“So grateful we found Penjulee and she was able to take in our fur baby. He usually has a hard time when we leave him but he loved her! She was so good and loving even sent us picture updates and we didn’t have to worry about him at all. Thank you Penjulee! You’re one of his new fav people and we know who to call on any time we’re away!! Love love!!”


“Joseph was great with Zi. We did a meet and greet first and everything went well. His dogs where super friendly and Zi had a great time. He was also very accommodating. Would book again. Thank you”


“Rachel has always been wonderful with our dogs. She is kind, communicative, and great to work with. Our dog, Lady, recently boarded with her over the weekend for a long stay. Rachel always gave us picture and text updates of her stay and if she had any questions or concerns, she would communicate them promptly. Will definitely use her again.”


About: I love to take care cats and dogs I take great pride in making sure they are well taken care of. Also if there are certain routines for your pet that to be followed I can handle it because once I’ve learned the routine I can stick with it when ever I take care of your pet for you. I also have some training in animal first aid because it was required for the Petcare company. I also have a really big problem with taking care of dogs thar will bite you because I’ve beaten by two dogs in the past two years by two completely different dogs. Also I know how to take care of cats as well such as cleaning the litter and feeding them their food. I’ve worked as a pet sitter for two years. Taking care of pet seems to be what I’m best good at because I really love and care about animals. When I’m not working at the daycare where I take care of school age kids and on the weekends I’m usually free all day long Make sure that they’re fed and played with and make sure they’re with me at all times and even sit with them to make them comfortable

About: With years of experience raising Golden Retrievers and Labradors, I understand the energy, affection, and attention these amazing dogs need. I’ve also cared for a wide range of other breeds and personalities, each with their quirks and charms. Every dog I welcome is treated like family with love, care, and plenty of excitement to make them feel right at home. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a cozy nap, or good company, your pup will be in great hands. I currently serve full-time in the military and am based in Northern Virginia. My weekday availability starts around 6 PM (Monday through Friday), perfect for evening walks or drop-ins. On weekends, I’m available all day for dog walking and offer overnight boarding from Friday through Sunday. I take pride in providing dependable, loving care, and your dog will be treated like family every step of the way. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a long walk, I’m here! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment where they feel loved and respected. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, carefully follow all feeding and medication instructions, and ensure plenty of play, attention, and rest. I treat every pet like family because that’s exactly what they become.

“Chris was a great sitter for Oso I booked he really last minutes and he was more then happy to open his home up to Oso. I would definitely recommend him to any pet owner needed a sitter.”


“Jessica and Dave’s house is about an hour away from our house, but it’s worth every minute of the drive! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving our pup Gracie somewhere - we were comforted with pics and updates every day of our trip, and Gracie was spoiled with homemade treats, toys, and endless amounts of love! We will absolutely be “repeat clients” - I’d recommend them to anyone! Thanks again Jessica and Dave (and to your girls as well)!!”

Aaron F.
“I’ve known Aaron for years, and they have such a huge heart for Dogs. They’re not just attentive and caring, but also full of energy and always ready to play, go on walks, or just give belly rubs on the couch. Any pup would have a blast with them and feel totally safe and loved. I’d trust them with my dog any day!”
