“Denise took very good care of my dog. He is a rather anxious pet, and she took extra care to sit with him at night and be sure he was comfortable for the night. She stayed in contact with questions and sent pictures of him playing. He had a big yard to play in, and a clean area in her home. She did a great job.”
“We could not be more happy that we found Stephanie to care for our little guy while we were away. Our Buddy was treated like a member of the family and loved his home away from home. I was so nervous about leaving our 1 year old boy, as we have never left him before for longer than a few hours. Stephanie alleviated that nervousness within the first 2 hours by sending a photo of Buddy settled in on the couch with her kids. She sent updates and photos every day and was flexible when we knew we would be a little later returning than expected. We will definitely book with Stephanie for care again. Thank you, again so much! Stacy & Jamey Modlin (and Buddy)”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“Second stay for our girls, they had a great time. Very flexible and understanding with our late arrival for pick up. Communication was perfect, highly recommend and will be a return customer!”
About: I am an animal lover who has taken care of my own as well as friends and families pets for years. My family has cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, snakes, frogs, geckos, chinchillas. I am a stay at home mom, so my time is very flexible. I am able to keep pets to their daily schedules and routines. My property is ideal for a doggy vacay, we have a newly fenced in valley, a forest to explore, 2 dogs companions (can keep separate upon request), lots of squirrels to chase, and plenty to love to go around! I am able to provide an attentive home environment that a pet is used to.
“Thank you Melissa! Max and Ringo had a great stay with you. They loved your fenced and shaded backyard and appreciated splashing in the doggie pool. It was the perfect environment!”
“Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.”
“I can tell Breeze had a blast with his daily walks and play time. Would definitely recommend Beauty. She is flexible, very responsive, and made my weekend get away convenient.”
“Brittany was able to accommodate our dog at the last minute. She communicated any issues or questions she had about Oreo. Her sweet family was very kind and easy to work with.”
“Anika was an amazing care giver for my fur baby. She sent daily videos and pictures which alleviated my anxiety. Since my fur baby was only 16 weeks old, Anika was really patient with him because he is not fully house trained. I will definitely be using her services again and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog, Duke! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and attentive to all of my questions, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout Duke’s stay, she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and well cared for he was. That level of communication meant so much and truly set her apart. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Lindsay made the entire experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dogsitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! 🐾”
“Elizabeth is attentive to Maddie. She communicates with me daily about and sends photos. I highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for a personable, loving, caring and attentive sitter. Elizabeth is a gem.”
About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in our daily life along the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.
“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”
“Tara and her family were so amazing and took great care of my baby! while away, from daily pics he had so much fun playing with the other pups, didn’t seem like he wanted to come home.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Scout, Emery and Tanner during their recent stay. We are happy to have found Irwin and Christine . When we have to leave our 3 pups behind we don’t have to worry, we know they are well cared for. Thank you !! 🐾🐾🐾”
“She’s the best ! I had a last minute family situation and she was able to accommodate getting my dog later in the evening and kept her longer than expected! Thank you !”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy in someone’s else’s care and she was amazing with that process. She has dogs for my pup to play with. Amazingly clean home. Kept updating me with pictures and replies right away to messages. She’s going to be my go-to person every time we visit El Paso.”

“This is the second time I have had James come and care for my cats while I am out of town. He was very communicative and gave detailed updates and pictures of my cats which was really nice. I would definitely recommend him if you need cat care!”
“John was fantastic! He kept us updated on what was going on at home and sent us pictures of the pets each day. He made sure the cats and Guiana pig didn’t miss a step in their routine while we were out of town. Fantastic experience! We will use him again.”
“This is the second time we've had Leah do drop-in visits to medicate our cats and refill food/clean litter. She is reliable and willing to go the extra mile to find hiding cats and make sure they get their meds!”
“Stephanie was AMAZING!! She made us feel so comfortable. She was so prompt with check-in and updates. Our dog has seizures and she was knowledgeable and willing to accommodate that! 12/10 recommend”
“Ashley did a fantastic job with our cats and we have a lot of them including some fosters. She came on time for each visit, played with all of the cats and kept our Litter Robots spotless. We will 100% book her again for our future tripe”
“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”
“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”
About: I look forward to providing the calm, personalized care I give every pet. I take the time to learn each cat’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe and stress-free while you’re away. I have experience working with young pets who need patience, consistency, and gentle guidance, as well as senior cats who require extra attention, medication support, and a slower, more thoughtful approach. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Ben is very reliable and trustworthy. He took great care of my kitties while I was away, and left the litterboxes and house clean. Did a great job with special feeding situations. I highly recommend Ben!”
About: I have taken care of animals for over a year now at a dog daycare/boarding centre in a variety of different circumstances. From Mastiff’s to Chihuahuas, I am confident taking care of various different sized dogs with a variety of different dietary needs from raw diets to kibble diets, medical needs from dogs that get medication once a day to dogs that get medication several times a day, and activity needs from dogs that need regular exercise to senior dogs that don’t need to be exercised. I have also had experience handling dogs that are extremely nervous around new people, dogs that can resource guard toys, and dogs that are highly reactive. I am a full-time commuter college student with large gaps between my morning and afternoon classes which I can travel to and from the owners house to let their dogs out and play with during. The only time that I am unable to stop by the house between classes is on Thursdays where I will be gone from 8 am to 2 pm due to my in-person lab course. I only offer services at my clients house so as of not to subject the pet to unnecessary stress from being in a new environment. I can administer any medication that is not via injection, I can cater to a variety of diets ranging from raw meat every day to freshly cooked food three times a day to kibble twice a day depending on the dogs needs, I have personal leashes that I can use or I can use the owners leashes to take the dog on walks as often as request/needed.
“Caitlin was amazing with my cats while I was gone! She provided me with thorough updates and silly pictures. She definitely made me feel a lot better about leaving them home alone for the first time. I’ll definitely see if she is available again in the future the next time I go on a trip :) thank you, Caitlin!!”
About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years…or really, my whole life! From dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even fish, I’ve shared my life with animals of all kinds. I currently live with four cats who have taught me even more about patience, play, and intuitive communication. I’ve also helped friends with pet care, walked dogs of all sizes, and provided loving attention to pets while their humans were away. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I feel deeply connected to them. I believe in meeting each animal where they are, tuning into their energy, and ensuring they feel safe, seen, and nurtured. Whether it’s a playful walk, cozy check-in visit, or overnight care, I’m committed to showing up with love, attentiveness, and a calm, grounded presence. Your pet will be treated like one of my own!
“Callie did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. Very good with communication during her visits and included daily pictures. Was very helpful to collect our mail and packages as well. We will definitely use Callie again in the future!”

About: Hi! I am Sarah. I am a mom, business owner, and dog lover living in 7 acres in La Plata. I offer in home boarding and care in a peaceful, low stress environment where your animals can relax, explore, and feel at home. I am currently working on installing a fence, so for now I can do leash walks to keep everyone safe, or supervised play for small puppies since we are acres from the road. If you’re looking for personalized care, space, and a more relaxed environment, I’d love to care for your dog. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I prioritize safety at all times. Dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor time and a comfortable, clean space inside to decompress. I care for pets in home as if they’re part of the family. I can follow each dogs routines, which includes feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions that you provide.
About: Hi! I’m Haley, a stay at home mom and lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family not just animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time knowing they’re in caring hands. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family that rescued animals, and my mom has worked in the veterinary field her entire career. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my three little ones, I spent years working in animal hospitals, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. That background taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for animals. At home, we have three playful kittens and a friendly dog, so your pet will be staying with someone who truly understands their needs. We also have a large backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I know every pet is different, which is why I do my best to stick to their normal routine. Whether that means feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, cuddle time, or simply giving them space to relax! I’ll care for your pet the way you do at home. I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps reduce stress and makes them feel comfortable. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and updates while you’re away so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d be honored to care for your pet and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.
“Corey and Monica were very friendly and took great care of Pepper. They sent photos throughout the day which I appreciated. They were accomodating and willing to work with me with some of Peppers anxiety issues. Will definitely be bringing Pepper back for future daycare :)”
“Linda was able to accommodate Conchita on such a short notice, and I am so thankful she did! Conchita had such a good time with Linda, her family, and all her pets. I am so glad that her sweet dog matched my baby's energy. So happy with the experience she provided for her. Thank you Linda!”
“It means soo much to have a safe space for my dog, my baby, to stay and play with humans and other dogs. Thanks Tanita and Terrence for such great and attentive service!”
“We had a great experience with Roderick and his family. Since our dog is still pretty new to us, we were a little unsure how he’d do, but he warmed up to them so quickly. It was clear he was comfortable and well cared for the whole time. Roderick and his family were kind, welcoming, and treated him like one of their own. We’d definitely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“My dog had a wonderful overnight stay! They were well cared for, happy, and relaxed when I picked them up. Great communication throughout, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in their hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“What can I sat besides Seyla is the absolute best. Ice had emergencies come up and he has been so gracious in helping me and so flexible. Izzy has been going for about a year now and she is so happy. When we the our ride to Seyla and she sees the front door that tail was in excitement. I've referred a few other dog parents and they always thank me for telling them about Seyla because he really is a gem. He and his wife. For anyone in the charles county area looking for someone that will truly love and care for your furbaby as if it were their own. Seyla is your person.”
“I had an excellent experience with Jenny. She was extremely friendly, personable, and made me feel confident that my puppy was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, and I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable the entire time. I will absolutely be booking with her again the next time I’m visiting the area. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets primarily the most experience with dogs since I was 13 years old. I’ve cared for a variety of breeds from puppies to senior dogs.

Furthermore I have experience caring for senior dogs that need medications and have alternative potty methods. I am happy to provide excellent care for you and your pet at any age. I currently am a freelancer looking to change direction in my career so I have flexible availability and can be available for short notices at the moment. I can provide pet care from morning til evenings. I have experience with crate training but with Puddles I took him out on walks 2-3x a day and also let him have yard access with a secured fence 2-3x a day. Each client is different so as long as I have some basic directions I usually can adjust to each pet’s needs. I know building trust and safety for our pets is super important.

“Denise took very good care of my dog. He is a rather anxious pet, and she took extra care to sit with him at night and be sure he was comfortable for the night. She stayed in contact with questions and sent pictures of him playing. He had a big yard to play in, and a clean area in her home. She did a great job.”
“We could not be more happy that we found Stephanie to care for our little guy while we were away. Our Buddy was treated like a member of the family and loved his home away from home. I was so nervous about leaving our 1 year old boy, as we have never left him before for longer than a few hours. Stephanie alleviated that nervousness within the first 2 hours by sending a photo of Buddy settled in on the couch with her kids. She sent updates and photos every day and was flexible when we knew we would be a little later returning than expected. We will definitely book with Stephanie for care again. Thank you, again so much! Stacy & Jamey Modlin (and Buddy)”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
About: I am an animal lover who has taken care of my own as well as friends and families pets for years. My family has cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, snakes, frogs, geckos, chinchillas. I am a stay at home mom, so my time is very flexible. I am able to keep pets to their daily schedules and routines. My property is ideal for a doggy vacay, we have a newly fenced in valley, a forest to explore, 2 dogs companions (can keep separate upon request), lots of squirrels to chase, and plenty to love to go around! I am able to provide an attentive home environment that a pet is used to.
“Thank you Melissa! Max and Ringo had a great stay with you. They loved your fenced and shaded backyard and appreciated splashing in the doggie pool. It was the perfect environment!”
“Brittany was able to accommodate our dog at the last minute. She communicated any issues or questions she had about Oreo. Her sweet family was very kind and easy to work with.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog, Duke! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and attentive to all of my questions, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout Duke’s stay, she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and well cared for he was. That level of communication meant so much and truly set her apart. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Lindsay made the entire experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dogsitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! 🐾”
“Elizabeth is attentive to Maddie. She communicates with me daily about and sends photos. I highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for a personable, loving, caring and attentive sitter. Elizabeth is a gem.”
About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in our daily life along the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.
“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”
“Tara and her family were so amazing and took great care of my baby! while away, from daily pics he had so much fun playing with the other pups, didn’t seem like he wanted to come home.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Scout, Emery and Tanner during their recent stay. We are happy to have found Irwin and Christine . When we have to leave our 3 pups behind we don’t have to worry, we know they are well cared for. Thank you !! 🐾🐾🐾”
“She’s the best ! I had a last minute family situation and she was able to accommodate getting my dog later in the evening and kept her longer than expected! Thank you !”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy in someone’s else’s care and she was amazing with that process. She has dogs for my pup to play with. Amazingly clean home. Kept updating me with pictures and replies right away to messages. She’s going to be my go-to person every time we visit El Paso.”
“Kelly did a phenomenal job with our Labrador Retriever puppy, Indy over the Holidays. She kept us up to date on all the activities he did with plenty of pictures and messages. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to care for their pet.”
“Megan was so amazing with my pup and made me feel so comfortable boarding her for the first time. I got daily updates along with photos/videos. Finding someone to trust with your pets is very difficult but I’m glad we found Megan!”
“Chris was wonderful with my Labradoodle, Rambo! He made him feel right at home and kept him happy and playful the whole time. I could tell he was well cared for and loved. I’ll definitely book with Chris again!”
“The relationship started with a meet and greet and Yiqiuxi and Nick asked all of the right questions to ensure that it was a good fit. They were interested in his routines and most importantly the do's and don'ts so Gucci didn't pick up any bad habits. Next the drop off. They have a huge area for Gucci to get plenty of exercise and he showed an immediate sign that he was comfortable which sealed the deal. We could not be happier with how well our Gucci was taken care of (6 nights) I was truly impressed with the consistency in daily updates which included photos, cuddle time and summary of his day. We appreciate their flexibility when I needed to add an extra day due to travel delays. I highly recommend Yiqiuxi and Nick and I am getting ready to book a new date right away. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
