“Beth was amazing! It was my first time leaving my 7 month puppy with a sitter, and I couldn’t be happier. It seemed like my puppy adjusted quickly, and Beth did a great job keeping her entertained and helping her work on her potty training and manners. It’s also such a bonus that Bastien is there for playtime and companionship. Beth was also very communicative and responsive.”

Also, my dog a little sick when I had to leave and Erika (and her sister) were very helpful with the updates and pictures making me feel comfortable with my dogs health. 5 stars.”

“Lia’s communication is always on point! Charlie and I recently moved to DC and looking for a new sitter. Lia was honestly the best sitter for Charlie! She went above and beyond for Charlie even accommodated to his spoiled picky eating behavior 😂. Honestly I want to gate keep Lia but I think everyone deserves to have a sitter like her.”
