“John is an excellent sitter! I can’t say enough good things about him. He took such good care of our dog, sent twice daily updates, and provided lots of walks and enrichment activities for him while we were out of town. We know our boy Lu enjoyed his stay!”


“I cannot say enough about Paula. We were traveling from out of state and Paula was so flexible with the time of pick up and drop off. I felt a good energy from her messages, home, and little pup right away. We have had our fair share of lousy dog sitters and this is the first time i have felt inclined to write a review. Paula communicated with me more than any other dog sitter ever has. I never had to wonder what my pups were up to or if they were safe. We will absolutely link up with Paula again!”


“Shannon was an awesome sitter. From the moment of our initial phone conversation I knew I had found the right fit for Sophie. She kept in contact with us, also sent us pictures on how she was doing. I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing that Sophie was in a good environment. I am so happy we connected with Shannon.”


“Charlotte is always so good. We have used her several times for long weekends, daycare, etc.. She communicates with us and sends us lots of pictures which I love. I couldn’t recommend her more!”


“Our Bailey enjoyed her stay with Emily over the weekend. We will definitely be booking with Emily again! She kept us updated with picture messages which we loved!”


“Henry and Cheryle were very quick to respond and even wanted to do a meet and greet before I dropped off my sweet old pup. They're super nice and sent many cute pictures of my girl while I was gone! Highly recommend them for taking care of any animal!”


“Mallory and her husband are very nice, and very flexible. She will take a picture of my dog and text to me. My dog had fun staying with them. Will definitely recommend Mallory as your dog sitter.”


About: I am a total mush for dogs. I've taken care of dogs of all kinds and sizes since I was a teenager. I will treat your dog and love them like I do my own. I work from home, so they will not be left alone. Since I will be home, I also will have plenty of time for walks and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard as well as live beside a dog park. I have one dog myself, so your dog will also have a friend to play with. I am able to crate a dog if that is the ask as well.

About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover and caregiver for my entire life. Pets aren’t just animals to me—they’re family. I’ve cared for dogs for decades, and my beloved beagle even served as a Certified Therapy Dog for two years, helping bring comfort and joy to elders in Nursing Facilities. My family offers overnight boarding in our cozy, pet-friendly home. We also offer nightly walks during the week or all day during weekends. My husband and I work bankers hours but our older teens are home all summer and are available to provide daytime potty breaks and activities until we get home! Whether your pup is used to snuggling on the couch or playing in the yard, we do our best to match your pet’s routine to help them feel safe and relaxed. If you pet(s) prefer solitude away from others, they can stay in our extra family room! Couch, fan, and big screen TV included! Room can be closed off to keep others out. We will still provide solo playtime, potty breaks, and exercise! Your pet will be part of our family while they’re here—joining a peaceful household with our own friendly crew, including dogs, cats, bees, chickens (free-range but away from the dogs), and even a mellow lizard. We’re used to managing different personalities and species, and we’re committed to keeping your pet happy, healthy, and safe during their stay. Please note: ✅ All guests must be house-trained and leash-trained. If your boys are territory markers, please provide belly bands! ✅ Males must be neutered ✅ Friendly with people and other animals ✅ Current vet records and proof of up-to-date vaccinations are required We’re happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands. If you’re looking for a dependable, animal-loving home for your furry friend, we’d love to meet you! Let’s chat and schedule a meet & greet—we can’t wait to welcome your pet into our pack! With so many pets, including a puppy under 1, pet care is our life! We spend much of the day after work caring for one or another pet. If it's nice, we take the two younger dogs on a walk in the neighborhood or to Herman L Horn track. Our home doesn't have a fenced yard but we let our dogs run and have potty-time on long leads which is why we ask that your dog is leash-trained. Our dogs sleep in the beds with any one of us. If yours wants to, they can do the same. We have a lot of space to run and sleep inside. Feel free to bring a crate, blanket, and toys to make your baby comfortable here.

“Candace took great care of our dog! Communication was great. I think our dog really enjoyed staying with Candance. I would definitely book again!”


“Jody took amazing care of our two pups while we were gone for a long weekend. She has a wonderful setup with a fenced in yard for pups to hang out and explore. She provided over the top service feeding my pups eggs when they wouldn’t eat their food and providing a fan for when they came back inside from running around. She was a delight to deal with from start to finish and sent us pictures while we were gone as well. Highly recommend her!! Thanks again Jody!”


“My girl Sunny has extreme separation anxiety Denna and her husband made her so comfortable that Sunny hardly noticed I wasn't with her i received pictures and text messages letting me know how she was doing this was our first time boarding it was a great experience for the both of us we will be using them in the future 💖”


“Donna took care of my little old Maltese for a month and he was treated royally! I wasn't 100% sure he would want to come home. It was obvious that she catered to his needs and was more than tolerant of his shortcomings. She was the perfect companion for Teddy and I would definitely use her services again.”


“My dogs are notoriously anxious when boarded and I could tell how relaxed their stay was with Dennis when they were picked up. Would definitely book again.”


“Lawdy is an excellent sitter, very sweet and professional! She took care of my two boys like they was here very own, and they absolutely took to her, she gave more that a few daily updates, and that was very very comforting, and when Lawdy returned them to us, you could absolutely tell Brutus and Zeus was happy. They would run to us then back to her, I can’t say enough thank you’s to her… we highly recommend her and I will be using her services in the future”


“Mosey seemed to have a great time with Taylor. She sent us several pictures, invited us for a meet and greet before we booked, and when we returned early and had a conflict on pickup time, she offered to drive him to our house across town so we didn’t have to make an extra trip! Very happy with the experience!”


“Marah came in clutch when last minute my plans to board my GSD fell through and I’m glad it did because Marah was amazing with my 8 month old puppy. She sent constant pictures AND written updates. This was the first time I had ever left her for more than a few hours and Marah expertly was able to redirect her attention, keep her busy, and keep her loved. Not only did my puppy have an amazing time with all the other pups there but she LOVED Marah, she didn’t even want to leave! She looked extremely happy and content in every picture sent, and upon picking her up Marah was the absolutely gushing about how her 11 day stay went. My puppy was well looked after ten fold. Treated her like family. I will definitely only be using Marah in the future when I’m out of town provided there’s room!”



“Crystal was very sweat to my dog Molly. She followed my instructions. Her home has a fun backyard and I felt comfortable leaving my pet. I would choose Crystal again without hesitation. Thanks Crystal!”


“Our first time having Ashley and family board our puppy and we are happy. Our puppy, Luna, was very happy there and got a lot of playing in and slept very well on our way to Northern VA. We will repeat when in town next. She communicates well with us before and during visit. Looking forward to Luna having some more fun at their house.”


“Liz is the best!! My dogs love her! And that’s an understatement. She’s dependable, loving, a great communicator. My dogs stayed with her for a week and they were treated like one of their own animals. She’s sends updates and pictures frequently. She’s very flexible. She’s given our family a chance to vacation. I just never knew anyone who watched animals, so we never went anywhere. We are very grateful for Liz and my dogs are so lucky to get her love and attention.”
