Gail and Kris are amazing sitters. They kept me updated with Buddy & Poppy’s schedules with photos and videos that no other sitters have ever done. Poppy usually doesn’t eat well on the first day, which she did not do with Gail and Kris. I am so lucky to have found them and if l could, l would give them 10/10 for their care, professionalism, and ability to connect with my two…

I would highly recommend Kris and Gail for any pet care needs. Kris was so attuned to Maki’s personality and behaviors when they first met and clearly great with dogs. I appreciate the great communication, detailed updates, and all around genuine, thorough, and attentive care. Thank you so much!

Doggy Day Care • May 26, 2026

Gail and Kris took great care of Ruthie and Gus and kept us up to date and sent lots of pics, which was so reassuring. The dogs are happy and seem to have had a great time. We will absolutely use Gail and Kris again, and hopefully soon! Highly recommend.

Schedule

I work from home full time and my partner Kris is currently staying at home full time too, and both of us are mostly home on weekends. That being said, your pets will never be alone in the house. We are free to board and take care of your fur child(ren) short or long term if necessary.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a townhouse with a fenced backyard. There is a nearby lake and park where we can take your pet for walks. Currently, we don’t have any pet of our own. But, we absolutely miss having them around. We could only accommodate 1-2 fur guest(s) at once given they are living in the same household, as we would want to ensure that we can give them the proper care and attention that they need. For safety and to maintain clean environment, your pet must be potty trained and vaccinated. What you need to bring? - Food/treats labeled with feeding instructions or schedule - Bed & Blankets - Toys - Collar and Leash *any essentials your pet can’t live without* If your pet has special needs or requests (pick-up/drop-off, bath, administering oral medication). Please do not hesitate to ask and we will try our best to accommodate. We offer pickup/drop off services within 10-15mins drive (Germantown/Gaithersburg area).

A typical day

Me, Kris and your fur baby will have time to go around nearby pet friendly parks and lakes in my area. We can take them to walk at least twice a day (could be more). Out fur guest(s) will also have a free range around the house, and can do indoor or outdoor activities, or if they prefer to just lay around and sleep/relax, that’s fine too. We would be very excited to welcome them in our home and we will surely enjoy each other’s company.
