“Ren, Vicki, and their family once again provided exceptional care for our beagle, Andy. This time, we were traveling abroad for nearly three weeks, so it was incredibly important to know he was in the best hands. Thanks to the daily photos and updates, we never doubted that Andy was having the time of his life — it felt like he was on his own little vacation!”
“Sophia is amazing! My dog is extremely protective at home and has a lot of anxiety but when we get to Sophia’s house, she can’t wait to get out of the car to see her. Sophia always sends pictures and keeps you updated about your dog. My dog seems to be having much more fun at her house since she takes her for walks and lets her run in the backyard. She didn’t even like the snow at our house, but from the pictures that it was amazing how much she loved the snow in Sophia‘s backyard I would recommend her highly to anyone.”
“Kevin was very punctual and professional. He made sure to give my pup lots of love and playtime. Would recommend!”
“Charlie had a wonderful stay with Pam and her daughter. They made him feel at home and we will use Pam any time that we cannot bring him with us. Highly recommend!”
“Louis had such a fun time with Rachael and her dogs! I got lots of videos of them playing. She was very accommodating and responsive. Will book again!!”
“Rick was excellent! Great communication, easy pick up and drop off, and took great care of Penny Lane!”
“Brianna was very responsive and flexible. My dog is high energy and she came back tired, which was great. She enjoyed play time with Brianna’s dog. My flight was delayed and she super flexible with me on my pick up time.”
“Talina took great care of Sammy! We were really happy and Sammy seemed to enjoy her time away! Thanks for taking such great care of my pup! Emily”
“Our dog loved them so much. We were worried how he will stay overnight for the first time without us. He slept well and ate timely. He was being a good boy with Gail & Kris 😊”
“The best sitters! Skippy loves go to their house, he literally runs out of the car. They take such good care of him, we are so thankful. Highly recommend!”
“There are no words to express how much We love Evvery. We always travel without worries about our dog. She will keep you posted with pictures and videos, and our dog loves her. Evvery is a professional. Highly Recommended.”
“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”
“Amazing. They were so caring and their dog is probably the most friendly friend our dog has ever gotten the pleasure of playing and living with over the span of almost a week. We got tons of pictures during the course of the stay, and felt that we were in truly caring hands. Never had a worry. Our dog is definitely looking forward to the next time we send her over lol. 10/10”
“Woyni went above & beyond to make our two pups feel at home and well taken care of while we were out of town. She accommodated our challenging schedule and responded to all of our messages quickly. Thank you so much for keeping our girls happy. We would highly recommend you!”
“This is the second time I've used Nithya for my dog Millie. I was a little nervous the first time because Millie is only about 20 pounds, and Koda is a big Husky, but, true to Nithya's profile, Koda is very well behaved. Now there is also Snowy who is also very friendly. I think Millie and Snowy had fun together, and Koda made sure they were behaving themselves. Nithya was great at keeping me informed about how Millie was doing. Millie is a snuggler, and, thankfully Nithya let her snuggle as much as she wanted. I am grateful to have found Nithya (and Koda and now Snowy).”
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking such great care of my sweet Kenzie this weekend 🐾💕. You were amazing—always keeping me updated, sending the cutest pictures, and being so gentle and patient with her, especially with her being blind. It really meant a lot to me to know she was safe, loved, and in such good hands. I also appreciate you letting me know about the little accident in her kennel 💦—you were so honest and attentive, and that shows just how much you care. You’re truly such a kind and loving person, and it shows in the way you treated Kenzie. I will definitely be using you again in the future! 🥰🐶 Thank you again!”
“Yuhui is always amazing with Jax! We will continue to book with her anytime we need a dog sitter! She’s kind, patient, and always responsive!”
“Chizito loved his stay with Adam and Jill! He looked so happy when we picked him up and like he didn’t want to leave. He had a lot of fun playing with their dogs too! Adam and Jill communicated with us through the entire stay and even sent us pictures. I know at one point our dog refused to eat the food we sent, but Adam and Jill made sure he was fed and gave him other food he was willing to eat. I would definitely have our dog stay with this family again. They were friendly, kind, and took amazing care of our Chizito.”
“Our dog, Clea, had an amazing time! We received frequent updates and photos and Clea seemed very well taken care of. All care instructions were followed, and we would definitely rebook in the future!”
About: Hello and thank you for checking out my profile (Instagram:hanadogsitter)! I live near the Gaithersburg Spectrum Town Center (zip code 20879). For the past four amazing years, my life has been filled with wagging tails, slobbery kisses, and endless fun—all thanks to my sweet, energetic Labrador Retriever, Hana! Raising her from a playful puppy to a joyful, full-grown dog has been one of the most rewarding adventures. We’ve shared countless walks in the park, and cozy cuddle times after a long day of fetch. Every day with Hana reminds me how much love, laughter, and loyalty dogs bring into our lives—and I wouldn’t trade it for the world! Being her human has taught me so much about patience, playfulness, and the pure joy of caring for a four-legged best friend. 🐾💛 I'm home full-time. I'm happy to provide daycare (includes 1 walk) and overnight boarding (includes 2 walks per day) during weekdays, and I'm also available on weekends upon request. In addition to walks, your pets can have little happy breaks in our pet-friendly fenced backyard every 2-4 hours, they get to play freely and do potty whenever they need! I will provide regular updates - photos/ videos via Rover app or text message. Just let me know your pets' needs, and I'll be there with a smile and plenty of energy to keep them happy and cared for!😊 When caring for pets in my own home (w. spacious pet-friendly fenced yard), their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I create a stress-free environment by following routines closely, pet-proofing spaces, and ensuring clean, hazard-free areas for play and rest. I adhere strictly to dietary needs, medication schedules (if any), and special instructions to keep every pup healthy and secure. Trust is built through transparency: I will provide regular updates (photos/ videos via Rover App or text message), respect house rules, and treat every pet like family. For walks, I use secure leashes/harnesses, avoid high-traffic areas if needed, and prioritize hydration and shade. In my home, Hana (my friendly lab) loves making new pals, but I always assess compatibility first and supervise interactions.
