Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.

This was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter, and Christine made it easy. She genuinely loves dogs and made our dog feel right at home. We know our dog got lots of attention and play time. Christine sent us pictures and videos, which we appreciated. Overall a great experience and we would happily use Christine again.

Laurie and Rich always take great care of Louie! He has health issues and can be fussy with food and medicine but Laurie and Rich are patient and caring and I’m never worried about leaving him with them. They also send several photos throughout the day and give regular updates.

Francise was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ollie! She took him on lovely walks around town, helped him meet new people, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about his happiness and well-being. I came home to a very content pup! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

When a different sitter cancelled on me two days before a three week trip, I was really nervous about dog care. Erika totally saved my trip by watching Otto - she was very responsive to my request and was willing to do a video call ahead of booking to make sure it was a good fit. She took great care of my dog and sent regular photos and updates. He’s happy and healthy and I would absolutely use Erika again.

About: I've been a dog owner for 12 years, and a dog and pet lover my whole life! I have had to send my two dogs to heaven in the last two years, and I miss having dogs in my life, but I'm not quite ready to adopt again. But I'd love to help owners with their pets, and shower them with affection and walks and dog park visits while they are in my care. Dogs are allowed on the bed and furniture in my home, of course! I telework 3 days per week, and when I am not teleworking I work short days, and am home most evenings as well. I am also available to sit in your home as well! While I don't have a yard, I live in Del Ray with many parks, trails, and dog friends to spend time with. I'm very active and love to hike and walk.

Brianne and her family did a wonderful job caring for Kaia! She went over and beyond for repairing one of Kaia’s favorite toys (several times). Her daughters snuggled and played with Kaia treating her with utmost care. She came back exhausted and I always say a tired pup is a happy one!

Our dog had such an amazing time at Nicole’s! He can be a little timid and has trouble eating in new environments, but Nicole made him feel right at home and he did great! We like how she only takes in one dog at a time. He got along great with her dog but still got lots of 1:1 attention.
