“Hoa is an amazing caretaker. Her passion for caring for senior dogs is evident. She is conscientious, responsive, and timely, and was diligent in administering medication to my dog as requested. She also kept Hallie active, providing plenty of walks and outdoor activity. I would be happy to use Hoa’s services again.”

“Again, Sam took wonderful care of Pepper! It is clear that Sam loves the dogs and their personalities. When I am away, I know that Pepper is happy and well. And he is always happy to come home but also a bit sad to leave his buddies Sam and Happy. It is like coming home from a fun vacation for him!”

About: I offer a calm, attentive, and personalized care experience for both cats and dogs in the Tysons, McLean, and Great Falls area. With over 6 years of combined experience, I take time to understand each pet’s rhythm — from gentle brushing and quiet companionship to playful moments and frequent photo updates. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets and give them lots of love and attention. On weekends, I love being outdoors—if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along for some fun and fresh air! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, keep the environment safe and clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular photo updates so you always feel connected. I occasionally offer boarding at my home for small dogs and cats who can peacefully coexist with my friendly resident cat. I do slow, careful introductions to ensure a stress-free stay. Please note that I do not board large dogs.
“Sang and Hee Suk H. were wonderful to work with! This was my first time boarding my 7 year old dog and it was a great experience. They were thoughtful, communicative, and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely utilize them again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Eva!”

“Victoria is once again a lifesaver . I was having painters at the house and Enzo was going to be in the way and I asked if she could take him overnight and she said yes right away and it all worked beautifully. They get along well.”

“Our dog Solo stayed with Melissa over the July 4th holiday weekend. She took excellent care of him and sent texts to let us know how he was doing and multiple pictures every day. He looked like he felt quite a home at her place. She took him for a long walk every morning and he got many potty breaks during the day. He also really enjoyed sitting out on her balcony watching the squirrels. Melissa took excellent care of Solo and I would highly recommend her to take great care of your dog.”

“Carrie and Matthew truly care about the pets they sit. It was clear from the photos they sent us along with substantive communication during the stay as well as the very happy mood of our dog when we picked her up. 10/10 recommend!”

“Denise was so great with our 3 fur-babies. We are a little particular in who watches our pups since they are so small (under 5 pounds), and can have a Napoleon complex with other (bigger) dogs. Denise has a very homey/relaxing environment for the pups. She sent us plenty of awesome pics of the doggies enjoying the stay, which we really appreciated. We will for sure use her next time we need boarding services.”

“Boarded my cat, Lulu, with Samantha for a week and have nothing but good things to say! She took excellent care of her and was very responsive before, during, and at the time of pickup. She made sure Lulu was comfortable during her stay and provided plenty of updates throughout the week. Would absolutely book with Samantha again for any future boarding needs. Thanks again!!”

“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”


“Temisha did a great job! Our dogs are getting old and having more health issues, so it was a huge comfort to know she has so much experience with all kinds of medicine, insulin, etc. She was very responsive and sent tons of cute pictures and videos.”

“Hokie had a great stay with Shi and his dog Jealous! Shi texted me with pictures and videos regularly and consistently let me know how Hokie was doing. Shi was a great caretaker and Hokie will definitely be back again!”


“Grace was absolutely AMAZING. My pup has always been very shy and typically will just sit on his bed the whole time, but with Grace he warmed up to her pretty fast. Grace gave me extensive updates which I appreciated and tons of photos. This made it so easy for me to feel comfortable and seeing Gizmo was comfortable as well. I will only use her going forward :)”

“Ron took exceptionally good care of our beloved Winston (Australian Shepherd mix) while we were out of town for the weekend. Winston looked like he had a great time and came home happy from playing with his friends. Five stars!!”

“It was our first time boarding our dog anywhere, and we were unsure how she would do, because she was a recently-arrived rescue, and a very timid dog. We didn’t need to worry, though, because Carla and her family were the best choice we could have made! Nellie was well-loved, and so well-cared-for! Carla provided us with photo updates every day. As an added bonus for Nellie, Carla’s husband and children are also dog lovers, and they were so sweet and patient with our very shy dog. We are so happy to know that Nellie has a safe home to go to, when she can’t be with us.”

YJ sent pictures each night and our dogs looked very happy. They played with either her own dogs or other dogs she had, and it looked like they had a great time. They were very active. YJ was extremely responsive when I sent an email. We will absolutely look to board our dogs with YJ again.
Cindy and family, I am so thankful for y’all❤️ I am not a trusting person, however, I’m sold on you! It brought tears to my eyes seeing Sebastian making friends and having the time of his life! When your husband picked him up, he was a total different dog, he jumped in and no barking😇

We are so happy we found Michelle! She took amazing care of Winston - letting him sleep in bed with her and sending multiple pic updates a day. She also arranged a meet and greet beforehand to show us her space and her set up for dogs which was great for putting our mind at ease. We’ll definitely be using Michelle again in the future!

Bruno loved staying with Tanja! She was very communicative and responsible, and made sure to make him feel at home. We appreciated all the walks he got and the daily pictures. He even got sick while in her care and she gave him a special diet and tended to him, which we so appreciate. We always felt he was in good hands, and he was so happy he almost wouldn’t come home. Will be our first choice for boarding in the future :)

Boarded my 6 month old puppy for a week with Rachel and my pup loved it! I was nervous to leave my pup for so long for the first time, especially since a few days prior to boarding she was not feeling well. Rachel gave my pup her medication and kept me updated with photos and videos everyday. My pup looked like she had a fun time with Rachel and the other dogs that were visiting! I would definitly book with Rachel again.

Brianna was patient with my pup. He is super shy but in time he opens up, which he did with her and then they were taking walks every day. She updated me throughout the day without me asking and sent me videos. She is such a great sitter, she even made a cute little poster of him for me :)

Claire and Simon were fantastic! Our German shepherd, Riley, had a great stay. She absolutely loved playing and hanging out in their yard and the long walks they took her on. They were very communicative and easy to work with. We felt at ease leaving Riley in their care. We will be using them again and recommend them to anyone!

Another GREAT stay for Cooper at Alex's house! Our dog has been staying here for years and gets SO EXCITED every time we drop him off. Alex sends lots of cute photos and videos and we are always happy and relaxed knowing Cooper is getting great care. Also, you cannot beat the rate for this area! Strongly recommend.
