“Sush and her sweet family were great! Our dog met them beforehand and when it came time to drop him off, he went in happily. I received daily photos of him and could tell he was relaxed and having fun with the other dogs. Sush gave him lots of love and kept him comfortable. We will definitely book with Sush again!”


“Nina did such a great job of taking care of my small and nervous puppy Stella!! Stella warmed up really quickly and was super comfortable and happy staying with Nina. And Stella and Ricky were best friends as well. I recommend Nina to everyone and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Pixel loved staying at Christine’s. We appreciate how flexible she was with watching pixel and often checked in with us. He’s looking forward to staying with her again in a couple weeks!”

“Anne Marie warmly welcomed my little guy Hudson into her home! She sent photos, updates and took care of him just like her own. Will absolutely use her again next time I’m away.”


“Johanna was awesome! She was super communicative and easy going. I know Louis loved staying with her and Panda, and I would absolutely have her watch him again.”


“Lauren is a great sitter. She will love your dog as she loves her own pets and is welcoming to both you and your dog. She is attentive and will ease any concern you have about leaving your pet. My dog clearly felt at home with her.”

“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”


“Sandra and her family were amazing with Miles - long walks, going to the dog park, lots of love and play. They're a beautiful young family and have been great with all the puppies.”


“There are not enough words to describe how perfect our boarding experience was with Alyce. During our initial meet and greet it was clear that Alyce and her family were knowledgeable, passionate, and caring which immediately made us comfortable leading up to a week long board. Throughout the stay Alyce provided us with daily updates to include eating and sleeping habits, many pictures and videos, and his overall his mood. Jax is looking forward to coming back soon to play with his new friends Mookie and Lucas. Thank you!!”


“Leonard & Kathryn are kind and calm people who will take wonderful care of your dogs. It is a relief to have found them to watch my dogs. I got lots of pictures of my dogs while they were being cared for and they came back happy and not stressed. I highly recommend Leonard & Kathryn.”


“Ive already recommended Luciana to a neighbor and would do it again! She took excellent care of my pup, sent pics so that I could see that he was doing well on his first visit with her, and stayed mindful of his allergies and food restrictions. He was sad to leave her when he was picked up, which shows he felt loved and taken care of there. Great sitter!”


“Katerine was fantastic - she’s a naturally very kind person and took great care of our dog. She sent lots of pics and shared updates throughout our week long trip. At pick up, she gave a great rundown of the week and our dog seemed quite happy. She has a nice, fenced in backyard and a nice, grassy area for walks. All around, a great Rover experience.”


“Laurie and Richard took excellent care of my senior pup, who was very relaxed throughout her stay. I would definitely use their services again.”


“Nyla took great care of my two dogs in her home while I was away for the weekend. They got plenty of walks and playtime and got along well with her pup. I got plenty of updates and was totally at ease with leaving my dogs in her care. Would absolutely book again!”


“My wife and I went on a long international vacation and entrusted our French Bulldog—Kona—with Molly and Gary. They went above and beyond our expectations, notwithstanding how difficult it can be to take care of a Frenchie (e.g., they can’t tolerate heat very well in the summer)! One of the highlights of our trip was our daily update about how Kona was doing (always great)! And, they took her on walks in the DC area that we haven’t even taken her on yet! Without their care for Kona, there’s no way we could’ve enjoyed our trip. We are so grateful that they live near us, and we’re sure Kona is looking forward to her next vacation with these two (and their dog, Axl)!”



“Leah took great care of my senior dog and it was obvious that he was happy and content (she sent an adorable picture of him snuggling with her on the couch). She was great to communicate with and flexible about dropping up and picking up. I very much recommend her and look forward to Gus staying with her in the future.”
