“Catie always takes such good care of my pup, introduces her to new dogs and experiences, and communicates proactively about general updates and any potential concerns. Bertie loves going over and comes home tired and happy.”

About: I have always had a dog in my family and now that I have retired and I’m home all day I can help others care for their fur babies so that they will not have to be lonely while their parents are a little busy. I like being outside with my dogs in my yard and watching tv with them. I am retired and spend most of my time going to the park to walk for exercise so I have time to care for my fur babies and others I have two old dogs love lying about and a huge yard that I play with the dogs in that I can close the fence so dogs can run free but in others home I’d follow their rules to the letter and respect their home

“Malvi and Andrej are fantastic sitters. For each and every dog, they take a personalized approach that is rare to find in many boarding environments. They have a safe and spacious backyard and home for hosting pups that’s so conveniently located right in DC. I’m a nervous dog mom, but have zero worries leaving my dog Benny in their care. Most importantly, Benny thrives in their home and it’s easy to tell that they care for him as their own. You really can’t do better, book them now!!”

I have a fenced in courtyard with grass and plenty of space, and friends/family who love to come visit and will give your pet plenty of attention. There is nothing I like more than spending time with a dog!

East Riverdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Murray and Monty had another wonderful day at “Uncle Jeff and Dan’s” house! It’s only been a few times we’ve left them and they already can’t wait to go! It has been an amazing experience finding them, because we know they’re safe, happy and well cared for and we never have to worry. Thanks again for everything.

Pamela is such a delight! She was accommodating for my last minute request and sent me lovely updates throughout the day. I knew Nyla was well taken care of because she was so happy when I collected her in the evening. I definitely recommend Pamela, and Nyla will be back.

Jessica is such a doggy daycare sitter! She’s caring, responsive, and very communicative with updates throughout the day. My pup comes home exhausted from all the play and gets so excited when we pull up to her house in the morning. The pups play outside in the large yard and have plenty of fun inside as well. I’m so glad I found her and Lou!
