We were very comfortable with leaving our rescue dog with Jenny for a 3 night stay. We met with a couple weeks prior and our dog felt comfortable enough with her that she wanted to stay with her that day. When we brought our baby back for her stay she was very excited to see Jenny again which was very comforting for us!

Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.

Candace is wonderful! It was obvious she has an affection for dogs as soon as we, and our Boston, met her. She has lots of room for running and playing. She sent pictures several times showing how comfortable Pru was at her home. She took great care of her "houseguest". I have no reservations about recommending her, and we will definitely use her again when we are in the area.

Barbara is so great with animals and does a great job making them feel at home. Our dog had a great time and enjoyed her visit with the family. I loved all the photos to see how our dog was doing throughout the day. Wonderful job!

Kari was an awesome sitter for Brew! She accepted our request at the very last minute (much appreciated) and her family showed him a ton of love while he was there. She’s a great communicator and very caring. Brew came home so tired from all of their adventures. Thank you!

I would highly recommend Jen! I have basically never left my dog at home alone. I chose to have Jen watch him since I didn’t want to leave my dog for the first time at home for 8 hours or more. I had a good feeling about her. She was on time, ready, and happy to take my dog. In talking to Jen I could tell that she has experience with dogs and that she loves them! She reassured me when I left him with her and let me know what she had planned. Jen took pictures during their walk and at the park. She sent me pictures throughout the afternoon and evening. My dog was happy and not anxious at all. When I came to pick him up she was already downstairs with my dog and his things in hand. He was very happy. I will definitely book Jen again next time I’m in the D.C. area!

Myra was very professional and took notes of everything i said and followed them. She also gave me detailed updates often including information of what activities they did, what food and how much my dog ate, when he peed and pooped. Sent me videos and pictures of my dog. And it reduced my worries to my baby fur while i was gone for a day. Myra was so loving that she even slept close to my dog so my dog wont feel lonely. Amazing experience and Will definitely book again!

“I can’t thank Olinda enough for the amazing care she gave Ollie! From the moment we arrived, I could tell how excited and happy he was to be around her. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs shine through. It’s such a relief to know Ollie was in such good hands.

Our dog Cooper seemed so happy during his overnight boarding. He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off. We received thoughtful updates and photos and Cooper was relaxed, comfortable and had settled in so quickly. Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!

Our first time using Rover! Tiffany was amazing with our Clover. She was very accommodating and went above and beyond! She took Clover to the beach too! Needless to say, we had a very tired beagle when we took her home. And we were very happy with the care our girl received! Will definitely use Tiffany in the future!

Amazing. They responded right away to the request and really helped out of a jam. My pup had a blast and I swear he came back cleaner and calmer than when I dropped him! He played with Kane and my guy loved him! Definitely we'll be back!

I have used Erin 2x now, and getting ready to book for the third time in less than a year. Each time she and her kids had my sweet ans hyper girl, I got pictures and updates daily on how she was doing. When we had a snow storm back in February, she even put her in the hoodie I sent so Hope could play in the snow. The roads were also not good, and Erin kept me posted of how they were in her neighborhood so that I could come when it was safe, all the while Hope was in great hands. As I said I'll be re booking for a third time, and really appreciate her taking such good care of my Hope.
