1. Kelly & Maurice G.

“I wish I could give ten stars, Kelly & Maurice were the best! I know my dog Future is missing them and the constant attention and love he was shown by their entire family. Kelly came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. She kept us updated regularly with videos and photos. Asked questions and made sure Future had an amazing stay. We can’t thank them enough for keeping Future at the last minute. We can tell they love dogs and truly make every dog who stays there feel like they’re at their second home. We’ll definitely be using Kelly and her family again in the near future.”


2. Lynette & Vincent H.

“This was Marleys first time with them and he loved it. They are super caring to your fur baby. He made new friends and i will definitely be rebooking.”


3. Donna & Brian G.

“I HIGHLY recommend Donna. She was GREAT with Prince and very communicative and kept me updated with Prince by sending photos and videos. She even trained him a little and he now knows how to go into his crate by command. I absolutely will hire Donna again, if she’s available. Thanks so much Donna!”


4. Kellyn G.

“Excellent care and service, kept my corgi entertained and well cared for, enjoyed the daily updates and pictures/videos. Will definitely use your service again. Thank you.”


5. Mark B.

“First time boarding with Mark and his wife Lisa! Our 9-month-old Tervuren puppy is sweet but has a lot of energy and some irritating shepherd-herding instincts that we are still working on. So I mentioned that to Mark before we left for a 6-day family reunion and he reassured me that this was normal but said he'd evaluate him on walks and provide me with some feedback. We were late picking up Chester due to T-day holiday traffic so I didn't get a chance to speak with Mark, but after 24 hours of being nervous to be out of our sight (a perfectly normal reaction following boarding), our dog is calmer & better behaved! We appreciate the care and likely behavior modifications Mark & family provided during Chester's stay and they also were understanding about our late arrival. We also received 3 photos & texts during his stay. Chester is safe, healthy, and quickly transitioned back to his secure self, so we intend to board with Mark & Co. again if they feel the same way!”




6. Felicia M.

“Felicia was amazing with my Pep! She sent me pictures of him, so I knew he was in good hands. He actually became more quiet. Thank you lol. Being around her older dogs has calmed my 1 year old down a lot.”


7. Branden G.

“Will book with Branden EVERYTIME!! First time using Rover, and not only was the process seamless, Branden made us feel comfortable, super communicative, and took great care of our Murphy! I highly recommend :)”


8. Monica L.

“As a repeat customer, I completely feel comfortable leaving my baby with Monica. She keeps me informed about every single detail while I'm away and sends a cute detailed "report card" every evening. Thank you, Monica! I truly appreciate you.”


9. Mady H.

“Mady and her family were the best! My pup enjoyed walks, a large backyard to run around in, and the company of dog playmates. Mady consistently sent pictures and updates. I highly recommend Mady’s services, and will be rebooking with her again!”


10. Brian M.

“Brian and Sheena are a God send! This was my dog’s 2nd stay with them and they took really good care of her. They spoiled her rotten. She can’t wait until the next stay!”


11. Lisa C.

“Lisa is wonderful! She took care of my Bandit to my satisfaction. Lisa sent several pictures and gave plenty of updates. I definitely recommend Lisa and will reach out to her again next time I need a sitter for Bandit.”


12. Mark N.


“Very kind and responsive! They updated us several times throughout the week with how our Ace was doing. They even sent us videos and pictures. Will definitely book again!”


13. Carlton M.

“Carlton took great care of our baby and was very friendly, responsive and flexible with us! He also updated us with pictures of her. We’d 100% recommend his services”


14. Denise B.

“This was a last minute scheduling and Denise was amazing!! This was our first time leaving our puppy over night which was a little nerve racking. Denise was aware we were a little anxious about the situation, she quickly put our fears at ease. She was extremely communicative, share tons of photos and videos. Her home is very welcoming and of course we cannot forget about Jade, she is the sweetest girl! Bodie had an amazing time and it was very nice having some alone time with my wife. Thank you again Denise & Jade and family for hosting our pup.”


15. Candis W.

“Candis was wonderful and I have already booked her again. She is a great communicator - she responds quickly and provided the right amount of photos and updates. I was confident that my little guy was receiving appropriate care and attention. And perhaps most important in Alexandria, I had no trouble finding parking for the drop off and pick up! :)”


16. Garvey Y.

“Garvey continues to be the only one we feel comfortable leaving our girls with. He provides so much care for them. They both have their individual personality and Garvey has a knack for knowing what each of them needs and how to handle both of them. No worries at all when Chaka and Zuri are in his care... He is a 10/10!!!”


17. Fo B.

“Fo was so great! He was highly responsive and adaptable to make sure our first time boarding our puppy went well. I really appreciated how much he cared for her! We highly recommend him!”


18. Andrea C.

“This was my best pet sitting experience. From the greet, throughout her stay, and pickup. Andrea was amazing with my pup who is naturally anxious. My pup has even been more relaxed since she has been home.”


19. TimMarkis H.

“Tim was an excellent dog sitter. Zeus had a wonderful time going on multiple walks a day, keeping up with his regular schedule. Tim sent tons of pictures so I knew exactly what was happening all the time. I’m so appreciative for his attentiveness and care.”

About: Lived with several dogs since I was a child (primarily mid-large size). Currently own a large (100lb +) male cane corsp ( have had since 3 months old). I am comfortable with managing other pups alike. I've provided over night and extended care for small and large dogs with my baby/dog. I trained my own dog (basic obedience, loose leash walking). I can provide regular care/attention as I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule. My dog is selective and so I have no problem handling dogs that mimick the same, happy to do separate play times, crate rotation, etc. Pet care is a normal part of the routine, current dog owner. I work from home primarily 3 days a week, occasionally 2, and typically home on weekends. I own an aduly mastiff/cane corso and so, regular walks, attention, and play are a part of my daily and weekly routine. I have stubborn pup who scales the spectrum between very obedient to going full on sas and temper tantrum, so I am comfortable with all types of temperaments of dogs. If you allow joint play, I will allow it supervised by myself, or if your pup prefers 1:1 time - I will divide crate and play time between my dog and yours separately. Large dogs - will alternate with my dog having one be crated at night and throughout the day outside of scheduled play time, walks, and potty breaks to allow less frustration across both for freedom.and saftey, but I can accommodate dogs who are not crate trained and crate my pup if needed - his crate is like his tiny house - he enjoys it. Small dogs, unless otherwise requested, will take priority for free reign throughout the day/uncrated. I live in a quiet neighborhood, much traffic, and it has quiet short walking trails with trees; I have a small fenced back yard as well for roaming. I do not board rottweilers, huskies, malamutes, or male pit bulls due to my dog's disposition of them, but can do check-ins and 1:1 dog walks with these breeds.
