Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.

Andy was great with my dog! He always sent me photos and pickup/drop off was easy. When I picked my dog up, he didn’t want to leave! It was nice to know that he was in good hands while I was gone.

I am a clingy, overprotective dog mom. It’s me, I’m the problem. I get it. But my pup was so happy at Christine’s, she did not want to leave. My dog is super active (busy, always busy) but she’s currently still pouting and napping after 10 days at her new best friend’s house. Christine was the perfect amount of communicative to let me enjoy my trip out of the country, while allowing me to not have constant anxiety. She is also super understanding and flexible, which is a huge plus. My pup will definitely be staying with her again soon! So happy and grateful to her.

So grateful to have found Shizuka since we are a bit new in the area. I couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog, especially on such short notice over the New Year’s Eve holiday! Shizuka truly went above and beyond by sending daily photo updates, taking Coco out every day, and making sure she was well cared for and comfortable. She even cleans her up well. Coco felt right at home, which gave us so much peace of mind. I really appreciate all the effort and care she put in. She has a warm, loving home, and her kids also played with Coco, which was such a bonus. Such a great find, we’ll definitely be booking with her again!

About: I have spent the majority of my life with dogs, and I have the most experience with German Shepherds and terriers. I feel at ease with both large and small dogs. I enjoy hiking and taking backcountry walks around Great Falls with my furry friends. Even though I'm not certified, I feel that I'm successful at obedience and am mindful of all the hand and verbal cues. I am currently not working (federal contractor) so I am available all day for potty breaks and walks! I live with in walking distance to Pimmit Run Trail as well as a short drive to Great Falls. I enjoy long exploratory walks along the river with my puppies. I have a 6ft fenced yard and two energetic teenage boys that are also available for walks and ball tossing to keep even the most energetic pup nice and tired.

My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!

About: I offer a calm, attentive, and personalized care experience for both cats and dogs in the Tysons, McLean, and Great Falls area. With over 6 years of combined experience, I take time to understand each pet’s rhythm — from gentle brushing and quiet companionship to playful moments and frequent photo updates. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets and give them lots of love and attention. On weekends, I love being outdoors—if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along for some fun and fresh air! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, keep the environment safe and clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular photo updates so you always feel connected. I occasionally offer boarding at my home for small dogs and cats who can peacefully coexist with my friendly resident cat. I do slow, careful introductions to ensure a stress-free stay. Please note that I do not board large dogs.

Silas had a wonderful lengthy 9 day stay with Loreen! She was very attentive to all of Silas’ needs and many medications. Her daily updates are unparalleled! Daily videos and pictures really made me feel like I was really kept in the loop on his care. She also has the sweetest kiddos who really enjoyed playing with Si, which is so lovely because Silas loves kids! I would 100% book again and recommend Loreen to anyone looking for exceptional care for their babies!! 🫶

Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!
