Justin & April were absolutely amazing with Mochi! From the moment we met, I could tell they genuinely cared about animals. They sent frequent updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Mochi came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be booking with Justin & April again!

Justin and April are very kind and knowledgeable pet people. Their dogs are very well trained and sweet. We have not stayed over yet but meeting them and seeing their huge yard, I know it will be a perfect fit for our dogs!

Justin and April are wonderful pet owners to Bernie and Pippa, who are very well trained and delightful small pups. They have a very spacious fenced in backyard for the pups to enjoy adventures outside. They are both extraordinary kind and patient, making them ideal caretakers for pups in the greater Washington DC area. As a boarder and professional dog trainer, I would highly recommend them to care for your precious pup(s)!

Justin and April saved me when I needed daycare last minute! They sent photos, took my dog for a walk, which I was really grateful for, and were really kind, calm, lovely people!

We can’t say enough good things about Justin (and April)! They’ve cared for our dogs several times, and every experience has been absolutely wonderful. From the moment we dropped our pups off, we could relax knowing they were in loving, capable hands. Justin and April truly treat the dogs they care for like members of their own family. They’re attentive, patient, and clearly love dogs. They always go the extra mile—whether it’s sending thoughtful updates, giving great advice about dog care, or just making sure our dogs feel happy and comfortable. Their home is the perfect environment for dogs, with a spacious backyard that gives plenty of room to play and explore. Every time we picked our dogs up, they were relaxed, content, and clearly well-loved. We’re so happy to see Justin offering his services on Rover—anyone fortunate enough to have him as a sitter can rest easy knowing their pets are in the best possible hands. Highly, highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

When dogs stay with me, they become part of my daily life, not just guests, but family. I maintain their routines as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking habits. My home is dog-safe, cozy, and calm, with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel secure. I offer one-on-one attention, enrichment activities, and lots of love.

Pets

A typical day

When I watch pets, I love taking them on playful walks, tossing around their favorite toys, and giving them plenty of cuddles and belly rubs to keep their tails wagging. We also have several parks by my home that are great places for dog walks.
