1. Vanessa G.
“Whenever we have to leave milkshake at day care she comes back crying since she misses us a lot… this first time we left her with Vanessa , it was completely different. Milkshake didn’t cry!! She was so happy with her! Vanessa kept sending us updates of Milkshake and she looked so happy! They even left her sleep on bed with them! And they have a huge backyard to keep the dogs happy! I will definitely bring her back to Vanessa’s whenever we have to board her!”
2. Simon H.
“As always, Ferris had a great time staying with Simon. We received many pictures and updates throughout the stay and always feel comfortable leaving him with Simon.”
3. Nicollette J.
“Nikki took great care of pups. She walked them everyday and shared pictures of them almost daily. This was the first time we picked up our pups from boarding that our boys were peaceful and content. Easy transition. Thank you Nikki!”
4. Kelly R.
“Kelly was great and I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was quick to respond to my request, to set up a meet and greet, and easygoing re: drop off and pickup. I will gladly book her again the next time I have a need.”
5. Kerry W.
“Very pleased! This was our first time using a Petsitter outside of our family/friends and we couldn’t have been more impressed. I know our pup was in super hands. Very appreciative of Kerry’s updates, and we could tell that Riggs felt comfortable and happy the whole time we were away. Kerry is wonderful!”
6. Nelly M.
“Nelitza has a heart of gold and truly gives her everything for the dogs in her care. I appreciated how much she kept me posted with pictures, video, and written updates.”
7. Katie T.
“Katie took great care of our dog. She was communicative during the stay, sending us pictures and updates. Our pup is aging and doesn't like to walk too much, so Katie put her in a carry sling to get her some fresh air while walking her own dog. Based on the positive experience, we've already booked another stay with Katie.”
8. Russ B.
“Took awesome care of my German Shepherd! He got daily walks and play time outside, was even kind enough to send me photos daily so I knew that my boy was doing great. 👍🏼”
9. Lauren S.
“Lauren worked with me and my very skittish old dog to keep up both very calm during his first post pandemic boarding experience. Her updates were funny and frequent. She totally gets him which isn't easy. Thank you Lauren!!”
10. Ada B.
“Once again Ada was amazing! We had a short notice trip that she was able to board our pups! They enjoy visiting. She communicates and provides pictures frequently. She goes above and beyond! We are always worry free when our two pups stay with Ada. They are loved at her home. She is our only Rover sitter.”
11. Anna S.
“Our pups just home from their first stay with Anna (and her 2 pups). They were very-well taken care of! We thought at first it was too far from Alexandria as we had to cross the Wilson bridge. But it was a breeze - took us less than 15 minutes to get there (non-rush). Anna is a very loving, kind dog Mom and went out of her way to make sure she accommodated all of our preferences, etc. They had a blast enjoying her huge yard (sidenote: we just have a condo with a terrace) and running with her 2 dogs. She provided videos/photos throughout and was EXTREMELY responsive to texts. We look forward to a repeat visit - and so do our dogs!”
12. Michael B.
“Michael was amazing for our older, sometimes grumpy small guy. His full personality shown through the pictures and videos he sent, meaning that he was completely comfortable with Michael. I could not be more grateful we found Michael to keep our dog happy while we were away. Thank you, Michael!”
13. Christine J.
“Gus had a great time with Christine and her family and we felt safe knowing he was with them! He was very loved while we were away. We will call on her again!”
14. Shane J.
“Shane was excellent with Mylo!! He kept us up-to-date with his progress several times a day. Mylo was in great spirits when we got him back! If I need dog sitting service he is the one for us and I’m sure will use his services in the future! THANK YOU Shane!!”
15. Shayla C.
“I recently used Shayla for the weekend and was very satisfied. She was attentive, provided regular updates and photos, and followed all instructions perfectly. Kolton was happy and well-cared for. I’ll definitely use her again!”
16. Fnu & Eric S.
“Fnu took great care of my crazy GSP pup! If you know the breed, you know they're highly energetic and I felt at ease with Fnu since she has GSPs herself. She was so accommodating and communicative with daily updates and pictures. My dog came back happy and tired! She definitely had a blast.”
17. Adi V.
“Adi was so great with Leo! She was flexible with the meet and greet and flexible about pick up/drop off. She sent amazing photos of Leo and I could tell he was loving it! Highly recommend!”
18. Kathryn F.
“Brady got a long great with Kathryn's dog and he enjoyed having a fenced backyard to explore. I think he was kinda disappointed I picked him up after a 2 week stay.”
19. Brian K.
“Brian did such a wonderful job sitting my dog. He kept me updated with lots of pics of my girl being comfy and happy. I definitely recommend and will be using Brian and Carly again in the future!”
