“Tasha was very communicative, shared daily feedback and photos, knew how to handle dogs, etc. Bean seems to have had a perfectly peaceful Thanksgiving week with her family!”
“My dog stayed with Valeria for 3 nights, we had no issues. I felt comfortable with his stay, never felt worried or concerned, and was able to enjoy our weekend away. She took excellant care of him.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Thomasena is absolutely amazing, and her daughter Robin is just as wonderful. They took such loving care of our fur baby while we were away, and it truly felt like he was part of their family. When we picked him up, he was so relaxed and happy—it was clear he had been in great hands. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being cared for with so much affection. Definitely will book Thomasena every time we go away. Highly, highly recommend!”
“A+ experience. Pics/updates were plentiful, and it was clear that Sarah and her husband were thoughtful and keenly attentive in their caretaking. Their dog Cooper also made for a great canine companion.”
“I’ve been taking my puppy Moose to Geneen for almost 4 months and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s taken Moose in like family and is great about keeping me updated (with awesome photos) during his stays. She provides a safe, fun environment for the dogs she watches. 5 stars!”
“Diego was great (and Coco too ☺️)! He encouraged a meet and greet, was very patient and asked questions to understand my dog’s habits and needs. It was the first time leaving her with anyone and went smoothly. Diego also sent regular updates and pictures, so I felt informed of how things were going. Definitely recommend and already booking the next stay!”
“At this point, there is no one else I would trust with my dog Ruth! Holly is incredibly responsive, with videos and updates through Ruth’s stay. She also clearly loves dogs and shows my fairly anxious pup all the love she needs when I’m gone. Ruth got sick while she was staying with Holly and Holly kept me informed, actively tried to make her better (instead of just waiting it out), and comforted both me and my dog through it! She’s the best!!!”
“Nicolle did an excellent job caring for shadow. She provided photos throughout shadows stay and was flexible with scheduling when we had a family illness. We will continue to use Nicolle for future sitting needs!”
“Rita was great with my very nervous Mini Schnauzer. The communication from the meet & greet through final pick up was great. She sent a daily update and at least one picture every day. I will definitely have Rita take care of my dog again in the future.”
“Precious was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout Orlando’s 5-day and kept us updated with plenty of great pictures. We could tell through the pictures and consistent communication that our pup was comfortable and being well taken care of. We had a great experience and will definitely be using Precious again”
“Crystal was amazing. I can totally tell my little baby Rio felt comfortable in her presence. I appreciate her love for my baby and how much she communicated! She sent photos and videos daily and informed me of how he was doing. I would absolutely hire Crystal for her services and recommend her to anyone.”
“Fabian was amazing and so flexible with our needs. He went above and beyond and we never once worried about our pets while under his care! Highly recommend”
“Candice watched my 60-pound pitty with no issues on multiple occasion. She's a great for dog-boarding and had great communication. She's always my first option when trying to board my dog Gargamelle! Highly recommended!”
“Pamela was great with our sometimes difficult dogs! She was very understanding about their personalities and able to balance the combined four prescriptions they have. They came back tired but well cared for.”
“Beth took excellent care of our ~14 year old diabetic dog while we went away for a long weekend and was able to give her twice daily insulin shots. Even better, she lives 2 blocks from us, making the whole thing super easy and convenient. I'm sure Piggy appreciated being at home in her own neighborhood. 14/10, would do again! Thank you Beth!”
“Cal and Kelly were beyond excellent! They were always quick to respond and sent tons of pictures and videos! We never had any worries about our pup, and it seemed like she had a great time. 10/10 recommendCal and Kelly!”
“Toni and Buddy were great companions for my black lab mix Stella Mae. Buddy has tons of energy and they have a fenced in yard that Stella spent lots of time chasing him around, haha. Toni was very flexible for drop off and pick up and sent several updates, and Buddy was excellent at keeping Stella company - they even cuddled together on the last night for bed time <3. ”

“Cannot say enough good things about Keaton. They looked after our 3 cats for two weeks. They capably handled multiple different kinds of meds for each cat, made sure each had their different needs for playtime and feeding met, and did it all with so much care for each. They sent multiple updates every day throughout the 2 weeks, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away, knowing the cats were in such good hands.”

She followed our instructions to the detail and went above and beyond to make our cats comfortable. One of them was scared (he is a scared kitty) and she made sure to take the time to friend him and approach him and learn about him. We are so thankful for her help and will definitely will be rebooking her! Thank you Tandy!”

About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** **For house sitting you must be ok with my dog Buddy coming with me and staying at your house as well.** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.

He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated.

“Sophie was an amazing sitter for Larry! It was the first time we had left him with someone for a full day so I was a little nervous. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates which calmed my nerves. Larry had a great time with her so we will definitely use Sophie again!”
