Emily was wonderful with Zephyr. She kept me updated with daily photos which always helps calm my nerves while away. Zephyr clearly had a great stay and was well cared for!

Shawn was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout the entire stay. My pups were very comfortable and happy during their stay. I would choose Shawn every time to watch my pups, they had an amazing time! I didn’t have to worry about my dogs once while they were in Shawn’s care!

I contacted Marah very last minute to watch my dogs for me for the weekend and she responded almost instantly. When i took my dogs over for a quick meet and greet they immediately made friends with the other dogs there and Marah treated them like they were her own. I received picture and text updates about how they were doing daily. They got to play with other dogs at her house and at the dog park over the weekend which I'm sure they loved. When i picked then up on Sunday they were both thoroughly exhausted. I will definitely be bringing them back

This was my first time using Donna for my fur baby and let me just tell you she spoiled him rotten. She was so attentive to him and made him feel right at home. When I first met Donna she was very welcoming to both me and my little one. She made me feel at ease. I knew I made right choice and I definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much Donna for all the love and care you gave to my lilman . ❤️❤️

Katie and her family were very welcoming when we did the meet and greet. It gave us a lot of confidence in leaving our dog with them for a week! She was very communicative and sent us photos. We would definitely use her again!

This is the longest we have left LuLu at any sitter. We couldn't be more pleased with Rebecca's care. She sent pictures throughout the day every day. We could see that our dog was having a great vacation too!

They looked like they had a great time! Was given plenty of attention and treats. Did not appear overly hungry or thirsty when we brought them back home telling me they were given plenty of food and water. Liked that Lydia has a fenced in back yard and appreciated the daily picture updates and video without me having to ask first. Was also able to get us in last minute and was very responsive. Would highly recommend!

John kept our Min Pin overnight to acquaint with the pup before a week-long stay later this year. He was very responsive to our questions. He provided periodic updates and pics. The communication gave me insight into how the visit was going and comfort in knowing our pup was doing well. We were very nervous in leaving our pup with someone new but he had wonderful references on John. Overall- very good experience.

Kimberly was absolutely awesome with our girls and kept us updated every day. She sent pictures daily, monitored their eating and play habits, and provided us with regular status updates. We missed our girls, but we felt so much better knowing they were in good hands while we were away. You can tell she’s very passionate about caring for animals and genuinely cares for their well-being. And our dogs did not return home looking stressed. Her home set up is tailored well for the pups and she ensures that they have a comfortable space and plenty of play time. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future and plan to set up regular play care appointments soon!

Our first time having Ashley and family board our puppy and we are happy. Our puppy, Luna, was very happy there and got a lot of playing in and slept very well on our way to Northern VA. We will repeat when in town next. She communicates well with us before and during visit. Looking forward to Luna having some more fun at their house.

She is someone who is incredibly devoted to animals; her dedication and love are boundless. I had the absolute best experience knowing that Mia was staying in a home filled with plenty of attention, patience, and love. Karlie is always in constant communication, too. She has dogs of her own, and they truly made Mia's stay much more fun, as Mia is super friendly. Mia returned home ready to sleep and rest after days filled with fun and endless running around—in fact, she didn't even want to leave, given how wonderfully she had been treated at Karlie's house!

Elise was amazing! She took my booking at the last minute and cared for my dog, Mix, as if he were her own. While I was away, she sent plenty of updates and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Mix felt loved and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking Elise again in the future. Highly recommend her services!
