5. Irene & James I.

“This last week Irene and James have been a lifesaver! I now need to have my dog in daycare full time which she is not used to and usually very nervous. I’ve had my dog stay with Irene and James for dog sitting and could not be happier. My dog has thrived staying with them. She is comfortable, eats, drinks water, and interacts with them instead of shutting down. I have been so amazed by their care of my dog and the consistent text and photos updates throughout the day. So thankful to have found Irene and James to care for my dog and fully recommend them for any dog care services!”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 20 years! I have a Lab and Collie currently. They both LOVE dogs and I’d love to take care of yours as if it were one of mine. I’m a stay at home dog mom living on the Potomac River in Old Town. My furies are my children and my passion in life. I have plenty of green space to walk your baby’s! I do live in a 4 story townhouse with a gated patio.. I’d walk them outside along the Potomac river. I live on 2 parks where I walk my own dogs. Tide Lock and Oronoco park. My dogs go out 4 times/day, each ( 30-40min at a time ) They have breakfast and dinner w/a lot of snacks in between 😃. They have an abundance of toys they enjoying playing with both inside and out.
