“Karen deserves all of her 5 star reviews. She is fabulous and the only sitter I wanted to watch our dogs during our 12 day trip. I didn't worry for a second about them because I knew they were so well cared for. Karen is organized, loving, and great at communicating with you with updates and questions.”

“This is the second time we have left our Newfie with Andrew and his family. Once again our Millie was treated like a Queen. She obviously received lots of attention as she was hesitant to leave when I came to pick her up. I just booked her next stay.”


“Ninfa continues to provide a wonderful alternative home for Vinny. He is always excited when we approach Ninfa's home, and he can't wait to get inside. When we retrieve Vinny, it's obvious that he's very relaxed around Ninfa, and he responds to her like she's family. We certainly hope to use Ninfa for Vinny's care in the future.”

“Alexis was fantastic to board with. I think our dog ended up having a better vacation than we did. The care our dog received was outstanding - so much so that when we came to pick him up, we got the equivalent of a "meh" from our dog. When we have boarded him at commercial kennels, he would be jumping off the leash to get to us when we would pick him up. It was clear he was given much love and care by Alexis and her family. We would absolutely book again.”
“Sujan was amazing boarding Aspen for 3 nights. He came back to us relaxed and happy and he definitely had a great time. He was well cared and we received a lot of pictures. We will definitely be using Sujan again! Thank you so much!!”

“Tatiana is absolutely the best! She cared for my golden doodle for a week and took time to talk/Zoom with me beforehand to ensure a smooth welcome into her home. She sent many pictures and videos during his stay. She sent daily updates which definitely let me know she was spending quality time with my dog and getting to know his personality. She’s fantastic! When booking with her, you’ll never have to worry!”

About: Since I was little, dogs have always been part of my life. They’ve been with me through moves, college years, and even rescue adventures—and one very good girl even played matchmaker and helped me meet my husband. I know how hard it can be to be away from your pet, and how much anxiety it can cause for both dogs and their humans. That’s why I love sending frequent photo and video updates, so you always know your pup is happy, safe, and having a great time. I care for every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while their family is away. I’m a teacher, so I’m home early on weekdays and fully available on weekends. There is always someone at home, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I also have very active kids (teenager) who love pets and happily provide extra snuggles and attention to the dogs we babysit. I’m a runner and know many great, safe trails around Reston and Herndon, perfect for walks and exercise. We also live near the Town Center, so there are plenty of fun, dog-friendly places for your pup to explore. Your dog will get a great mix of activity, companionship, and love while staying with us. I’m very active and physically strong, which allows me to safely walk and handle dogs of different sizes in our area. We have access to many beautiful trails nearby, perfect for safe and enriching walks. By default, we take dogs on three walks per day, but if your dog needs more frequent potty breaks or extra exercise, we’re more than happy to accommodate their routine. My husband is also home and helps with walks and care, so your dog will always have multiple attentive adults making sure they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. I live in an apartment surrounded by green spaces in a very pet-friendly neighborhood. Inside our home, there’s a cozy bed by a window with lots of activity—my dog Layla’s favorite spot to keep an eye on the neighborhood—and many dogs enjoy relaxing there too. Your dog will be in a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can truly feel at home.
“Our dog Bonnie is sensitive and she usually gets nervous when she goes to new places. However, when we met Jennifer for the first time, she immediately started to explore Jennifer's living room, and she seemed very relaxed. When we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave for a while. That says she had a great time in Jennifer's place. Thank you very much, Jennifer and her family!”

“Carla and family is amazing. I boarded biscuit in the last minute and they treated biscuit as their own dog. Biscuit had an amazing time there and Carla sent me a lot of pictures and updates on biscuit. I will highly recommend Carla !!”


“This is the second time that our pup has stayed with Kiran and we feel at ease knowing that we can travel and not have to worry about anything when it comes to our dog’s care. Kiran does an excellent job!”

“Joanna and John are extraordinary caregivers! We were so fortunate to find them. Our pup spent two weeks with them and we never worried once. We received daily pics and thoughtful updates. It was clear our pup was in very capable, caring hands and enjoyed their beautiful yard and family home. Looking forward to booking another visit soon!”

“Elena and her daughter Anna far exceeded our expectations. Our little Mandy has never stayed overnight with anyone outside of our family and luckily we were able to find Elena. Elena and Anna seemed to have given Mandy as much love and attention as she gets at home. They showered us with pics and updates to ensure we were at ease while we were away. We will definitely be reaching out again when we are unable to take Mandy on our travels because we know she will be in good hands.”

“Renata provided exceptional care for Timothy. Following a strict potty training schedule, she successfully ensured that he returned fully potty trained. Additionally, Renata took him on extended walks, encouraging his curiosity to lead the way. Renata will be my go to sitter moving forward!”

“Musa and his family took such great care of my kitten, Grogu! It was obvious that Grogu was played with a lot and given great attention. Thank you, Musa! We would love to have you watch him again??”

“Alyssa and Chris were so great and accommodating when we needed somewhere to board our high energy dog. So responsive and flexible— really adjusting to make sure Biscuit had everything he needed. We didn’t worry at all with Biscuit in their hands. Would recommend and board again. Thank you!!!”

“Shi Ming was amazing! Communicated really well and sent us lots of pics and videos. He was very patient with our dog who was anxious for the first day. His dogs were very friendly and gave our dog lots of play time.”

“Shannon took great care of my dog over the holiday! My dog can be a bit shy when boarded but Shannon and her family helped her feel welcome and comfortable in their home. She was attentive to all the details on my dog’s profile and had great communication before and during the stay. Would recommend Shannon for all dog care needs!”

“Catalina is an amazing caregiver. This was my second time leaving my baby, and she took exceptional care of him. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of my little guy, so I could always know what was happening. Her attention to detail and the way she made me feel secure in his care were truly commendable. Thank you so much!”

“Selene is super sweet with Zara. She took Zara for a quick walk, fed her on time, and make sure Zara was safe and comfy. She even sent us pictures to keep us updated and made us feel comfortable. I'd gladly leave Zara with Selene again :)”

We're happy we found Melissa to watch our golden retriever while we're away. She's very responsive, provides great care, and has wonderful space available for dog walks and play. Our dog can be tentative in new situations, but hops right out of the car to go to her house. Melissa and her family (and her dog Stella) are a pleasure to work with and I don't hesitate to recommend her.
Kiran was amazing! Our dog Nala was so comfortable to stay for a few days with Kiran and his pups. She was not anxious at all. Kiran was very accommodating. We nearly had an emergency because our flight could have been delayed. Kiran helped us keep our worries down by being understanding and ready to modify the booking until we could pick her up. Knowing Nala was in good hands and not anxious helped us enjoy our trip stress free. 100% recommend Kiran and will definitely book with him and his pups again.

Desiree was wonderful! We had a Meet and Greet prior to the stay. Murphy did great at her home. She was very attentive, sent pictures and updates on his eating and care. He came home tired, which means he had a great time!! I will definitely use Desiree again. Murphy was very well cared for and loved! Thank you, Desiree!
Moose was left with April and her pooch, Maple, for a week. He seemed to have adapted well enough that he could have cared less when I showed up at the door to collect him. I had enough contact and reporting back to know things were going well. I'll be looking to using April's service again in the future and would recommend her as a sitter.

Lauren is so kind and was so great with our girls who are a little particular about humans. She graciously took them in last minute on our wedding weekend when our other sitter canceled. She’s great with medication and read our dogs energies to determine if and when some specific medication (anxiety) was needed. Really grateful for her especially getting our girls back and seeing how happy and well rested they were!
