“Kelly and Maurice are more than awesome. I know that Zuri will be well care for and loved when I have to leave town. They treat her like family. They send videos and pics for reassurance that things are going well. I appreciate their professionalism and true dedication. They implemented some changes for their customers based on what they observed from my experience with them. That is more than customer service, that’s customer satisfaction. They are an A1 service all the way around.”
“Lindsay is amazing! I took a trip abroad and left my fur babies in her care while I was away and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Lindsay is very responsive and provided pictures and updates without me ever having to ask. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs. I will most definitely be sending my babies back to her for future trips.”
“Donna is a true dog lover. It was evident to us from our meet and greet that she is familiar with dog behavior and has the temperament to deal with different types of dogs. She was very warm and loving to our dog, got to know him and cared for him accordingly. We were kept abreast of what was going on with him every day of the 10 days that we were away and felt totally comfortable with her. We will definitely board our dog with her again.”
“Team Hopkins take such good care of my baby. It means the world having the assurance that your pup is well cared for while away on travel. We appreciate you both!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our sitter while caring for Archie for 5 days 🐾. From the beginning, communication was consistent, professional, and reassuring. We received updates, photos, and could clearly tell Archie was being well cared for and comfortable during his stay. Archie came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It’s obvious Sabrina genuinely care about the pets she watched and take the responsibility seriously. We truly appreciated the patience, attentiveness, and kindness shown to him throughout the stay. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter for their pet.”
“Crystal was absolutely fantastic! From the start, she did a thorough meet and greet and was incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. I felt completely at ease trusting her with my senior dog. Throughout the stay, she sent frequent updates with pictures and detailed descriptions, which I really appreciated. My dog looked so happy, especially getting to socialize with other dogs. I would highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Jackalyn was awesome. I was really anxious but she gave me peace of mind. Sent daily updates and pics which helped me out since I knew everything was good with Yuki while I was gone! Would absolutely recommend her.”
“Latte had a great stay with Monica and her fur babies. This was the first time we left our pet. She has a good process for drop off and getting to know our dog, understanding her needs, feeding, etc. and meeting other dogs. She was very attentive and made sure to communicate and send several pictures each day. We were excited to get our puppy mail and see how Latte was doing. She took great care of our baby. I hope to use her again if I have boarding needs in the future.”
“Eli was awesome! My dog is somewhat shy but she took to Eli right away. Eli picked my furbaby up and once he was back to his home he sent a picture of my pooch and where she had her kennel setup. Skittles was able sit and stare out the windows, which she loves to do. I received plenty of pictures to put me at ease. Eli also had a camera setup so I could see my dog if I wanted!!! I’m super happy with Eli as he was on time for pickup and drop off and overall is a very nice person! I will definitely board my dog with Eli again!!!!”
“Peanut’s stay with Lee was AMAZING! 1. I received daily photos and videos-constant communication. 2. Peanut seemed extremely comfortable in his care. 3. He treated Peanut like he was part of his own family.❤️ It has been such a struggle for me to find a reliable, caring sitter since moving to the area 2 years ago. I wish I would have found Lee sooner. Lol Since we had such a great experience with Lee, I’m definitely going to use him from this point on. In fact, I’ve already booked him for two more stays over the next few weeks! 😃😎 Lee, thank you so much for taking really good care of Peanut. I can tell that he trusts you and I can’t ask for anything more than that in a sitter! We will see you in a couple of weeks for Peanut’s next stay. 🐶 I 💯 percent recommend his services! 🙌🏾”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Katelyn is very kind and helpful, in addition to being understanding of HoneyBee's blindness and separation Anxiety. I appreciate all the pictures and videos of my pup while I was away, and especially all the attention given to my pup as well as flexibility of scheduling. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.”

“Kim cared for my pup as her own. She was very attentive to him and cared about his feelings. This was my pup’s first time with Kim so he was a little nervous. She cared for his every need and made sure he felt loved and comfortable in her care. Kim made sure that my pup had plenty of fresh air and had lots of attention, attention to the point where she slept near him so he would not feel lonesome. My pup was nice and calm when I picked him up which let me know Kim loved on him as I do. I will book again with Kim. Thank you Kim.”
“Carlton was great! He was very untuned to Georgie’s eating and drinking consumption. He immediately notified me about his concerns. Georgie appeared relaxed and happy at the end of his stay. I will definitely request Carlton’s service again.”

About: I have taken care of friends and family pets since I was 13 years old. I enjoyed caring for pets with walking, feeding, and playing inside and out. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I already take care of my own two pets on a daily basis. I always make it a point to give them attention and comfort. I care for pets in my home or my clients home by making sure all walks are on leashes, I provide calm reliable care, and treat every pet like my own.
“Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of the pets of family friends and people who they recommended me to them. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, turtles, and one very friendly cockatiel. I work part-time at the moment, but I am available most weekdays during the day & evening, and during the earlier morning & during the afternoon on weekends. This is of course subject to change in unforeseen schedule changes, but is a fair baseline. I currently have two cats and soon a dog at my own Home, so currently I’m not able to provide boarding. However, I’m able and happy to drive to check in on and take care of your four legged friends, and will make sure to spend as much time with them as you’d like. I will clean up any mess your pet has made or take them out to use the bathroom(in the case of dogs), feed them, & of course make sure they get a proper level of attention. I also do mail collection if you’re going to be away a while.
“Very knowledgeable about caring for cats. My skittish kitty warmed up to her, so you know she’s a good person. I would hire Mary again in a heartbeat. She went above and beyond for my kitties, and I loved all of the pictures and updates I received while overseas.”

I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!

About: I’m 100% work-from-home, so your dog is never left alone or unattended. I have a flexible, non-taxing job that allows me to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day—from walks and playtime to cuddles and potty breaks. I’ve raised my own dog from 3 months old to now 2 years old, so I’m experienced with puppy care, routines, socialization, and positive reinforcement. I’m also patient and attentive, which makes me great with senior dogs or dogs that need a calm, loving environment. I truly love dogs and treat every one like my own. I pay close attention to their energy levels, comfort, and routines, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I already structure my day around my own dog’s routine, including morning walks, daytime play and enrichment, and evening wind-down time. Adding another dog is seamless, and I make sure each pet gets individual attention based on their needs, energy level, and schedule. Because I’m home all day, I can easily accommodate puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra supervision or frequent breaks. When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, which is perfect for safe outdoor play and frequent potty breaks and multiple walking trails throughout the neighborhood. Regardless of the location pets are always supervised and never left alone for long periods. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I also provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and stick to their established routines. I provide reliable walks, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions needed. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for, whether they’re in my home or theirs.
“Lisa was absolutely amazing! It was our first time leaving our pup at just 12 weeks old and we couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter! Lisa’s demeanor and energy put me at ease the second we video chatted before dropping Duncan off the next day. The updates, photos and videos Lisa sent were very reassuring and I felt at ease knowing he was taken care of. I would certainly recommend Lisa to any dog owner looking for a nurturing sitter and we will definitely be booking Lisa again in the future!”

“Ashley was great! We were here in the area traveling in our RV visiting the DC area. We wanted someone to come walk and feed Rascal so we could spend a full day exploring downtown DC and the surrounding area. Ashley covered for us every day. Rascal is not used to spending long periods of time alone so Ashley was a blessing. She fed him and took him on a long walk every visit. We felt so good to know Rascal was being cared for by Ashley. She was also flexible with our schedule. We will call on her again if we return to the DC area which is very likely next year. Our daughter has a job offer in DC next year and we will likely visit and stay in this same area.”

She responded so quickly, she asked super thoughtful questions about how to provide the best car for my dogs, shes so sweet and was so helpful, and she took really great care of my dogs!

Sarah came over the day we moved in for an introduction and started walking him the next day. She always sends photos and keeps us in the loop. 10/10 would recommend Sarah!”

“Alexandria is great! She is very communicative and she’s been great for both of my dogs. My dogs pull when they walk, so I figured she’d never want to walk them again after the first walk. Not only has she come back, but she’s also made suggestions to help with the issue. My dogs love her and her excited to see her for their daily walk.”
“Appreciate Nicole's care and attention for my pup Cassie on their walk. Cassie likes to take her time, stopping to sniff spots or lay down, so I booked an hour walk. Nicole made sure she got the full walk in so Cassie could enjoy her usual exercise and mental stimulation.”
About: I have been known for my love of canines since I was a young boy. All of my life, dogs have been members of my family. I am the owner of a local carpet and office cleaning company and certified to clean oriental rugs and upholstery, so no mess is too big for me to handle. Every year I house sit for over 7 days for a family with 5 dogs and a cat. I make sure the house and yard are fresh upon their return. Because of my cleaning business, I am trusted to be in homes and high security buildings without supervision. Your vacation or business trip can be stress-free, and you will have peace of mind knowing that I am taking care of your pet(s) and property. My wife and I are home the majority of the day. She works from home and I have my own business so I can make my own schedule. We don't have any pets of our own, so your pet(s) will get all of the attention. Our fenced in yard allows us to keep the dogs outside with us when we are working in the yard or swimming in our fenced-in pool. We love to play fetch with active dogs and are happy to sit with the older pups. At the client's home, if there isn't a fenced yard, walks are essential. They stay on whatever schedule you have developed for them at home and get lots of love. We are trustworthy to access your home with a garage code or key and leave a client's home better than we found it!!

About: Hi guys! My name is Emily, I’m a 27 year old who loves animals. I really like to read, go to concerts with my friends, and spend time with my family. I’ve been house sitting and pup sitting for over 10 years now. My availability is very open at the moment considering I’m doing school virtually.

About: I've taken care of pets my entire life, I currently have 3 senior cats and 1 senior dog. I have 2 years of experience working in pet care facilities so I'm more than capable of handling all types of dogs and cats, including reactive/possessive dogs. I've been trained in cleaning, playing, monitoring play groups, feeding, and giving medication to all different sizes, breeds, and reactivity of dogs. I believe every pet deserve love and patience and I enjoy providing them with that. I also worked specifically with reactive/aggressive dogs for a year so feel free to reach out if you're dog needs a little more effort than most. :) I don't currently have a set schedule so feel free to reach out and we can figure out what works best for myself and your pets. I can walk, play with, feed, let out to potty, clean up after, and give meds to your wonderful pets depending on your needs. :)

“Lindsay is amazing! I took a trip abroad and left my fur babies in her care while I was away and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Lindsay is very responsive and provided pictures and updates without me ever having to ask. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs. I will most definitely be sending my babies back to her for future trips.”
“Donna is a true dog lover. It was evident to us from our meet and greet that she is familiar with dog behavior and has the temperament to deal with different types of dogs. She was very warm and loving to our dog, got to know him and cared for him accordingly. We were kept abreast of what was going on with him every day of the 10 days that we were away and felt totally comfortable with her. We will definitely board our dog with her again.”
“Jackalyn was awesome. I was really anxious but she gave me peace of mind. Sent daily updates and pics which helped me out since I knew everything was good with Yuki while I was gone! Would absolutely recommend her.”
“Peanut’s stay with Lee was AMAZING! 1. I received daily photos and videos-constant communication. 2. Peanut seemed extremely comfortable in his care. 3. He treated Peanut like he was part of his own family.❤️ It has been such a struggle for me to find a reliable, caring sitter since moving to the area 2 years ago. I wish I would have found Lee sooner. Lol Since we had such a great experience with Lee, I’m definitely going to use him from this point on. In fact, I’ve already booked him for two more stays over the next few weeks! 😃😎 Lee, thank you so much for taking really good care of Peanut. I can tell that he trusts you and I can’t ask for anything more than that in a sitter! We will see you in a couple of weeks for Peanut’s next stay. 🐶 I 💯 percent recommend his services! 🙌🏾”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
“Kim cared for my pup as her own. She was very attentive to him and cared about his feelings. This was my pup’s first time with Kim so he was a little nervous. She cared for his every need and made sure he felt loved and comfortable in her care. Kim made sure that my pup had plenty of fresh air and had lots of attention, attention to the point where she slept near him so he would not feel lonesome. My pup was nice and calm when I picked him up which let me know Kim loved on him as I do. I will book again with Kim. Thank you Kim.”
“Jen and her husband were the BEST! We had a rocky start with Bronx adjusting to the change, but after day 1, it seemed everything fell into place. Jen sent pictures and updates and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby like it’s their own.”
“Bianca was wonderful with our fur baby. She was proactive in keeping us informed on how Heaven was doing and sent us plenty of pictures. Heaven definitely enjoyed herself. We will definitely use her again.”
“OMG! Marta is awesome. Prince enjoyed his time with Marta and Lucas. Marta sent pictures and updates on Prince every morning and every evening. Prince came back home well rested and relaxed and ready to go some more. I highly recommend Marta to take care of your fur baby. Marta is sensational, wonderful spirit and personality.”
“Aleah is absolutely amazing. I expressed how nervous i was leaving my fur baby and she instantly eased my nerves. I can really tell she cared for my pet. She sent me pictures keeping me updated during his whole stay. I will 100% be booking with her again & i recommend anyone looking for a sitter to chose her!”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Sandra is the best. She love dogs, and the dogs love her. Everytime I'm over when dropping off my dog and picking up my dog he look so happy and when he got home he sleep so well because he gets to burn all his energy over there. He is fed on schedule and he is more obedient since she been helping me putting him back on schedule. She is great. All of her family members love dogs.”
“Payton and Graham were fantastic with our dog, Indy. They have a backyard he loved playing in, but even more impressive they were able to get his halter on (he's extremely headshy) and take him on actual walks. Videos they sent showed Indy snuggling with Payton in a way he has only done with us before. Communication was excellent, and Indy clearly loved being there. Not only would we book again with Payton and Graham, I'm doing so right now!”
“My dog Moon loved his visit with Denise and her dog Andy. Decent size fenced in yard for play, which my dog loved. Updates and pictures were sent. Moon even ate his food while there which he rarely does even for his normal sitter. I should mention she is very accommodating. I was a last minute request and my hours for pickup and drop-off were odd. Would definitely use Denise again.”
“Fantastic - Amazing - Wonderful! Yukia was a great communicator from the start. We talked before we brought our rascal over. We even did a meet and greet just to make sure he would take to her - and he sure did! During our trip she sent daily photos and updates, and our kids could not wait to get them every day. I could tell when I went to pick him up that he was very happy to be with her. For a quick moment he could not decide if he wanted to stay with her or come back home. It was his first time with someone else and she obviously took great care of him. There is no doubt that we have found our pet sitter for good!”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services again.”
“Chris was awesome! He provided regular communication and updates. He also treated my pet like his own. It was clear that Chris gave Ziggy great care and attention. Thanks!”
