I can come to you for pick up!

Pet care experience

Hallo! I want to say “danke schön” to my hundreds of pet clients I’ve amassed over the last five years. While we have enjoyed getting to know each of you and your furry friends over the course of our time in Northern VA, Uncle Sam has sent us to Germany for a handful of years. We will be back, but not for a while. Thank you for entrusting me with your beloved pets. I do miss having dogs to snuggle with at all times. Until we meet again, tschüss! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, so the number of years of experience is a bit of a misnomer. We've had dogs of our own as part of our now nuclear family of five for about five years, but both of our families growing up always had dogs (we just weren't 100% responsible for them). Most recently we rescued a (senior) lab more than a year ago from City Dog Rescue, and installed a 4-foot high fence for her to have a safe place to roam. But she is older and pretty mellow, so she doesn't really take as much advantage of our spacious yard as she could! We have rescued several dogs over the years, so we have likely dealt with any issues you may have experienced with your own dogs (to include shyness, excessive "feistiness" and dog reactivity). We are flexible and understand plans change, and just want to try to help out fellow dog owners as we know owning them can be pricey! I have travel crates for both small and large (up to about 80-90 lbs) dogs, so I can come to you if necessary. I don't work outside of the home because of our youngest kiddo, so your dog would have companionship much of the day, save the hour or two of errands here and there. We will respect your own dog rules (etc. while our own dog is trained not to sit on furniture, we allow other dogs on the couch/bed, etc if that is what they are used to). Our dog is a little picky and takes more warming up to larger dogs, which is why we only host smaller/medium-sized dogs. She just requires a slow, proper introduction. Smaller dogs do not tend to pose an issue for her. Please note that since we do have young children, we cannot accept dogs that have shown aggression toward children.

Wow. I can't believe I never left a review. Amy was awesome and went out of her way to make sure our pet had a good time and that we knew that she was in good hands.

My dogs love going to stay with Amy & her beautiful family. They always have a great time. It’s like their ultimate treat to have a sleepover with their favorite home away from home. Testimony is they run into her house excited & ready to play. Amy is a gem. Just a lovely person all round - great communicator, kind and flexible and her rates are really reasonable especially with more than one dog. Very Highly recommended.

Amy has been an absolute pleasure to work with! She always takes great care of our babies while we’re away and the updates are always on schedule. I never have to worry about if there’s a problem because I know she would immediately inform me.

I would only take my dog to someone else if I had to. Amy is the best and my dog always has a fantastic time playing with other beagles
