Laurie and Rich always take great care of Louie! He has health issues and can be fussy with food and medicine but Laurie and Rich are patient and caring and I’m never worried about leaving him with them. They also send several photos throughout the day and give regular updates.

Andy was terrific. He was flexible and kind with Cooper. I really appreciated the walks and the pictures he sent to me while I was away. I will definitely ask him to care for Cooper when I need to travel again. The pictures of my dog walking with another dog were reassuring. He was understanding when my train was delayed 1.5 hours. When I had difficulty finding his house at night, he offered to do pick up and drop off next time.

With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!

When a different sitter cancelled on me two days before a three week trip, I was really nervous about dog care. Erika totally saved my trip by watching Otto - she was very responsive to my request and was willing to do a video call ahead of booking to make sure it was a good fit. She took great care of my dog and sent regular photos and updates. He’s happy and healthy and I would absolutely use Erika again.

My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!

Katherin was amazing! She sent detailed and thoughtful updates about my dog’s stay, giving me at least three updates a day, with such cute pictures! She made sure my dog ate, brushed her teeth, and gave her long walks around the neighborhood. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I recommend Katherin, your pup will have the best stay!

Kasia is fantastic. During our black lab's boarding this weekend, she kept us in the loop on everything with lots of photos and video updates throughout our trip, so we always knew our pup was happy and well cared for. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. We came home to a relaxed, happy doggo and never had a moment of worry while we were away. If you're looking for a boarder you can fully trust, Kasia is it. Highly recommend!

Every year I go on an important week plus business trip around Memorial Day. My most anxiety producing issue is finding the right person to take care of my now 13 1/2 year old doxie mix Bridget---who is very attached to me, my BFF, who can have some separation anxiety, but manages extremely well and is pretty amazing for her age. It's hard to to book over the holiday and can be hard to find someone in my neighborhood, Georgetown. I wasn't having a lot of luck, but when I found Omar, I knew my luck had changed! He responded quickly and told me he loved animals more than people, especially dogs, and after Bridget's stay with him, I know this to be true. He provided the companionship and extra-ordinary tender loving care that Bridget needed to be secure while I was away, especially for an older dog. It gave me peace of mind. I loved seeing my videos of Bridget while she was on her walks or just being comfy at home with Omar in his immaculate house. Omar truly is an animal whisperer and I would highly recommend him to take care of your very special member of your family.
