Home Away From Home
Hi there! We’re Stefanie and Emmanuel, a caring, dependable military family who loves animals and treats every pet like our own. Our sweet 5-year-old Goldendoodle, Luna, and our gentle 9-year-old son make our home warm, welcoming, and full of love. We're conveniently located less than five minutes from Reagan National Airport (DCA), making drop-off and pick-up easy if you're traveling. Many of our clients love being able to leave their pup with us right before heading to the airport, knowing they'll be safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they're away. While we don’t have a backyard, we live in a dog-friendly community surrounded by trails, parks, and open spaces that are perfect for daily walks, playtime, and fetch. Your pup will get plenty of exercise and fresh air with us, whether they’re high-energy or more laid-back. We know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet. That’s why we provide frequent photo updates, quick communication, and personalized care, whether your pup needs a special diet, medication, or just extra cuddles. With Luna as a built-in playmate and our family’s active lifestyle, your dog will always feel included, safe, and loved. As a military family, dependability and commitment are part of who we are. We’re proud to offer a 5% military discount as a small thank you to fellow service members and their families. We’d love to meet you and your pup! Message us to set up a meet and greet so you can feel confident about your dog’s next stay.

Ratings and reviews
Stefanie was fantastic with our baby girl Bella. She gave us plenty of updates and pictures during Bella’s stay. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely book with her again
Stephanie and her husband were so welcoming and provided my special puppy the best care! Highly recommend!
Stefanie was amazing taking care of Jack. I recommend her 100%. Unfortunately, there are only 5 stars, but she deserves more. Thanks, Stefanie!
We left our two little joys, Enzo & Daisy with Stefanie while on vacation. After speaking with her & her reasonable prices, we felt comfortable leaving them with her. Upon our return we found they were well cared for and happy. If you need an excellent sitter then Stefanie is the one for you...
Very accommodating and took the time to understand the needs of our pups. Stephanie is awesome book her you will be thrilled.
Stefanie is great! I like that she keeps me updated with pictures, but doesn’t bombard me with them. My pup is comfortable with her which puts my mind at ease. I will definitely use Stefanie again.

Schedule
We both work nearby, and when we’re caring for a pup we adjust our schedules to make sure they get plenty of attention and care. We check in frequently for walks, playtime, and snuggles so your pet is never left alone for long. Our goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and part of the family throughout the day.

Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. In our home, dogs are supervised, loved, and treated like family, with daily walks and playtime on nearby trails. We adjust our schedules so pets are never left alone for long, and we follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, medications, or routines. As a military family, you can count on us for reliability, structure, and plenty of updates to give you peace of mind.
Pets
A typical day
When your dog stays with us, they join in on our family routine. Mornings start with a walk through our nearby trails, followed by breakfast and playtime with our friendly Goldendoodle, Luna. During the day, we come home often to give potty breaks, walks, and plenty of snuggles, so your pup never feels alone. Evenings are spent winding down with more outdoor play, dinner, and a relaxing bedtime walk. We stick to your dog’s routine while adding in fun activities like fetch, trail walks, and family cuddle time. Throughout their stay, you’ll receive photo updates so you can see your pup happy, safe, and loved.
