Pet care experience
We grew up with dogs and have been dog-sitting for thirty years. In the 90s, we had “Pampered Pets” in Boston, then we moved to Washington, DC, where we rebranded as “Top Dog DC,” and now we’re in Sperryville, VA, with “2 Dog Hotel.” Also, in the early 2000s, we raised four “Guiding Eyes for the Blind” puppies. Puppy raisers are critical to many organizations that train working dogs. Future guide dogs must be socialized in warm and loving homes, the puppies are fun, and puppy raisers learn about dog psychology and training. However, it's still not easy sending the pups off to college. Having done many "Intervac" house swaps, now we're getting into house sitting. We can take care of your pets and your home while you travel.
Reviews
Scott and Sarah are wonderful step-dog parents to Angel. She is always happy to see them.
Scott and Sarah are the best dog sitters! Cassie loves visiting them. They are super attentive, great with communication, and truly it is a home away from home for Cassie. This was our third visit with them and we will keep using them as needed. Do not hesitate to book with them.
Scott and Sarah are just wonderful and caring people - and your pet could not be in a happier and safer environment. I hope they are available on many future stays for my spaniel, Ennio.
Cassie had the best time with Scott and we will definitely have her visit them again! Communication was excellent, and we received updates on her day. With pictures as well. What a treasure to find Scott and Sara!

Safety, trust & environment
We only take care of one or two dogs at a time. The truth is we enjoy the pet therapy we get from dog-sitting, and the therapists seem to like it too.
Home
Information Scott & Sarah O. would like to know about your pet
Pet owners must provide written instructions on feeding, medications, and contact information for their veterinarian. Please let us know if your dog has special needs, habits, or fears. How's your dog with thunderstorms, for instance? Does your dog have leash aggression or other behaviors we should know about? We allow dogs on the couch and bed (depending on the size), but what's your policy? Please let us know so we can be consistent with your rules.
A typical day
National Park Trails begin in front of our house. We take dogs on hikes and play with dogs inside (hide and seek, tug toys, fast walkies) and in our yard (fetch, training, hide and seek). There's lots of stimulation for dogs with active lifestyles and good places to nap for less active dogs. Dogs are not allowed on Old Rag Mountain. We can take care of your dog while you hike. We also do HOUSE SITTING.

Availability
We spend much time at home on our patio, gated deck (squirrel TV included), near a cozy wood stove, or on the nearby hiking trails. Since we spend so much time at home, keeping to your dog’s regular schedule is manageable. When we have dogs, we rarely do things where they can't join us.
