1. Jacqueline B.

“Jacqueline was great. After all the issues I have had with past sitters, I was very nervous but Jacqueline restored my faith. I could tell my cat, Olivia, liked her right away. Jacqueline was early to my home and sent a ton of pics throughout her visit. Olivia even ate for her which is unheard of. I am going to feel peace of mind on my next trip which is much longer and further away. Thanks so much Jacqueline!”


2. Vinnie N.

“Vinnie did a great job! He took care of my senior pup over the weekend while we were out of town. He dropped in 3 times a day, fed, and gave my boy his supplements/medication. Vinnie even hung around and kept my boy company after he ate, waiting for him to digest his food and then took him out again. A + service!”


3. Ian H.

“Ian is the best pet sitter we’ve had the pleasure of working with. We hired Ian to watch our golden retriever Toby for two weeks while we attended our son's wedding in Italy. Toby can be a bit sensitive and slow to warm up to new people, so we were amazed at how quickly he took a liking to Ian. It was clear Toby immediately felt completely at ease and comfortable in his presence. Throughout our trip Ian sent lots of photos and videos of their daily adventures. Seeing Toby happily exploring Riverbend park, Great Falls park, Reston Town Center, and many Reston trails and lakes made the entire family smile. We could tell Toby was having the time of his life. Ian not only went above and beyond in caring for Toby, but also took great care of our home. And to top it all off, he gave us a wedding gift for our son - a touching gesture that shows what a truly caring and thoughtful young man he is. Thanks, Ian!”

8. Sanya A.

“Sanya did a great job!”




9. Rasha B.

“Rasha was a godsend over the holidays. She sent frequent updates and pictures which allowed me to have a stress free Christmas with my family. And I could tell from the photos that both of my dogs were very relaxed and comfortable with her. I will definitely book her again!”


10. Andree C.

“I was very happy with Andree's care and love she provided to all our animals. She was extremely responsive, communicative and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking with Andree again!!”


11. Vasilisa F.

“Vasilisa did a terrific job caring for our dog and home while we were away! We knew our dog liked her right away because he didn’t skip any meals, which he sometimes does when he is anxious. Vasilisa sent photos several times a day of our dog eating, walking, and playing, plus regular text updates. She did a great job with his schedule and left our house absolutely spotless. We will definitely book with Vasilisa again next time we travel!”


12. Jake S.
“Cooper, Emmy, & the house were well attended while we were gone. Jake was very communicative & checked in often. We really appreciated him taking care of our fur babies while we were gone.”


13. Skylar S.

14. Mikaela S.

“Mikaela did great with our rescue dog and sending pics and updates!”


15. Katelyn C.

16. Eve N.

“My shy, nervous pup loved Eve!! She was very patient with him and demonstrated a lot of expertise in reading dog body language. We will definitely be booking with Eve in the future!”


17. Danny G.

“Danny was so kind and flexible and took amazing care of our pets!!!”


18. Sophie J.


“Sophie was so professional and super attentive to our Chloe! We didn’t have to worry at all when we were out. We had total peace of mind! I 100% recommend her to take care of your pet.”


19. Allegra F.

“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”


20. Kelly M.

“Kelly provided amazing care for our junior kitten Pablo while we were out of town for two weeks. She communicated after each visit and sent the most adorable photos and videos of Pablo, putting us at ease that he was doing ok. Pablo was in good spirits and our home was neat and tidy when we got home - which is a feat since Pablo has stomach issues and we frequently have to clean up after him when he uses his litter box. Thank you, Kelly!”
