“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Can’t overstate how great Christine was with Ellie. Ellie is often shy with new people, but Christine was patient and clearly made Ellie feel incredibly at home in a shockingly fast period of time. What’s more, when our flight back got cancelled, Christine didn’t even hesitate to accommodate our delay. And Christine was very diligent in giving us updates during the stay.”
“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“Kerstyn was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“I can't begin to express gratitude and appreciation for Mirella. She accommodated me when she didn't have to. She is ao kind hearted and genuinely cares about my lil boy. She gave updates throughout the day and made sure that he was taken care of. I am a repeat customer! She is the best!”
“Kelly was a great dogsitter! She was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly, so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And I think our dog had as good of a vacation as we did! Kelly played lots of fetch with him and made sure he was loved and spoiled.”
“Tehani did a phenomenal job at taking care of our pup while we were away on a trip. We were given frequent updates and we can tell she really treats our pup with love. Would highly recommend her services!”
“Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”
“Alyce - truly loves dogs and it was clear throughout Blues stay! He had the best time playing in the backyard with Mookie and Alyce went above and beyond to make Blue feel at home and keep him entertained. She even gave him new plush toys and rawhides throughout his stay. Derek and I were updated frequently with Lots of adorable updates with pics and videos of Blue enjoying his time at what we came to call “the rover equivalent to Dog Disneyland” 10 star stay and we will definitely be booking Blue a visit with Alyce and Mookie again!”
“Jodee and AJ took amazing care of my shy pup while I was away for a few days. They have a great indoor and outdoor space and spent time with us during a meet and great to make sure all would go smoothly. Sent daily videos and pics to keep me reassured he was doing well. Would 100% recommend!”

“Our second stay with Leah. Everything was perfect from the drop off, individualized pet care, pick up and easy communication throughout the entire process. My normally nervous dog felt at home with Leah. Highly recommend! Thank you, Leah!”
“This was my first time ever boarding our dog Winnie and I can honestly say although I was nervous at first, the second I met Katerine & Brian I knew they would take great care of our Winnie girl. We booked Winnie’s stay for long weekend trip Thurs- Mon. Winnie made her self right at home and loved Katerine immediately upon meeting. We received the cutest update photos about Winnie during her weekend stay and knew she was in great hands and didn’t have to worry about a thing. We are so thankful for them and taking the best care of our girl, would highly recommend and will be booking Winnie a stay with them again :)”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“I left my dog Archie with Francise for a couple days and she was great with him! He’s an anxious one and when I went to get him he seemed so happy and comfortable. Francise was great with accommodating me and had great communication while I was away.”

“So grateful to Paris, who was so thoughtful as a cat sitter! Our return flight was delayed by a day, and we were fortunate that Paris was happy to accommodate this issue with an extra day of feeding/watering. If you’re looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter, look no further!”
“I will always continue to book with Taylor whenever I go out of town! My three cats love her and she consistently sends the best pictures and updates.”

About: When I was 6 I remember being introduced to the fostering system. My best friend and his family introduced me to fostering Labs of all ages and since then I have known that taking care and loving pets was apart of my life. Almost everyday when they had a foster I would go and help with whatever way I could, playing with the pup, walking and even cleaning after them. A little less then 10 years ago I got myself my own dog and his name is Striker. He is a full Pomeranian who loves playing ball, walks and belly rubs. Taking care of these fosters aided me in preparing and helping me be ready for my taking care of own dog. I am currently a college student so past my classes and study hall hours I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pals! I have a fenced back yard and a friendly dog to keep your furry friend company. I can easily crate your dog and also have a spare room for your friend if needed.

“My dog had a great time at daycare! Fengyuan provided regular updates throughout the day and I felt comfortable leaving Flynn in his care. Pick up and drop off was quick. Flynn came home happy and most importantly tired after a fun day. Would definitely book again!”
“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years- I am great with all breeds and have a knack for training puppies (and older dogs too!) I am working from home and live right along a beautiful pet friendly park! I go on walks and runs throughout the day so love taking pups out with me! I ensure dogs are well taken care of and have experience administering different medications to dogs (including allergy injections) and following dietary restrictions or other needs. I show a lot of love and affection to pups and will keep them occupied and hopefully burn some of their energy playing and going on walks/runs!
“We had a great experience from booking (somewhat last minute) through day-of coordination, Leila was really easy to communicate with and we felt confident our pup was in good hands! Will definitely aim to book with Leila again!”
About: I’ve had furry family members all my life. Finally got my own and live having a pup to train, pamper and love on. Let me share that experience with you and your pup as well☺️ I work from home, which makes pup care easier. My pup goes on a 30-60min walk or fetch in the fenced s hook fields near me around 7.30-8, eats around 10.30am with a quick walk outside soon after. She naps and is free to play. Last walk and dinner is around 6.30-7.30. Jade sleeps in her crate beside my bed. I’m able to give as much attention to her as needed because my schedule is flexible. I am very tidy and keep hazards away from the pups. I use dog-safe cleaning products. I also have a nest doorbell camera to monitor those coming and going. Plants are out of reach. I have access to fenced parks and fields less than 1min walk where I take Jade regularly. I like to play Chakra Healing Frequencies
“Diana was great with Pisco! He had such a fun time and she took such good care of him. She’s very responsive, communicative, and makes sure to share fun memories as well. Even when Pisco wasn’t feeling the best she made sure he was comfortable and kept me informed. Would definitely recommend her and return for more bookings!”
About: I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet because they're family. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I'm attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets who require a little extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care I provide. I don't just stop by to check a box, I spend quality time with your pet, making sure they feel happy, exercised, and cared for. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every animal as if they were my own. I work remotely from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I have a lot of flexibility in my workday, I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of companionship instead of leaving pets alone for long stretches. I genuinely enjoy having animals around, they make my days better! Whether your pet loves to play, go on adventures, or simply curl up next to someone while they work, they'll have plenty of company and care. My schedule also allows me to be responsive to your pet's individual routine and provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for while you're away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In my home, pets have a calm, quiet environment with plenty of one-on-one attention since I don't have any pets of my own. I work remotely, so they're never left alone and can enjoy frequent potty breaks, playtime, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also live just a five-minute walk from a beautiful trail, making it easy to provide regular walks, fresh air, and exercise tailored to your pet's energy level.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with Labs, German Shepherds, and cats taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I have also volunteered with the Animal Welfare League of Arlington for two years, where I have gained additional experience caring for animals and learning about different behaviors and temperaments. In addition to general pet care, I have informal training experience with dogs, including helping reinforce basic commands, positive behaviors, and good routines. I enjoy working with young pets as they learn and helping senior pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is always to provide the same level of attention, patience, and love that I would want for my own pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely four days a week with a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I am able to accommodate a pet’s normal routine, whether that includes letting dogs outside for breaks, taking them on a midday walk, providing playtime, or simply spending time with them while they relax. I enjoy creating a consistent and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific instructions. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar environments, so I focus on providing consistent care, attention, and companionship while respecting the owner’s home. For each pet, I take time to understand their personality and needs, whether they are energetic and playful, shy and independent, or require extra patience and care. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my dogs! She took excellent care of them and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and little notes, which really reassured me that my pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring with animals.”
“Kanishka was wonderful! She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and kept me updated throughout my dog’s first stay at her home, which I really appreciated as a nervous dog parent. My pup came home calm and happy, which tells me she took good care of him!”
“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”
“Guy helped us out when we needed a Doggie Day Care while we were visiting Arlington National Cemetery for an interment. We didn't know how long the 3 ceremonies would take, and he told us that he would help us for whatever we needed. With all that was going on for us, he offered comfort in taking care of our beloved Toby.”
“Haley was amazing with our little puppy!!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch him, she had so many updates throughout the day! We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Another great session with Katerine & Brian. When I dropped off Mia, she was super excited and happy to see Katerine again. We also got some beautiful photos of Mia during the visit. Looking forward to continue to rely on Katerine for our doggy day care needs.”
About: I’m a full-time business owner, which means I create my own schedule and can provide dependable, flexible care for your pet. Whether you need someone for a planned trip or a last-minute booking, I do my best to accommodate! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. My goal is simple: to care for them exactly the way I would want someone caring for my own dog. That means following your routine, respecting your training, keeping your home tidy, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’ve fostered multiple rescue puppies, many of whom struggled with fear, anxiety, and reactivity. Those experiences taught me how to read body language, remain calm under pressure, and build trust with dogs who need extra patience. I eventually adopted my own rescue, Rosie, after fostering her. She stays elsewhere whenever I’m boarding or providing pet care, allowing me to give my full attention to your pet!! I work from home as a business owner, managing my own hours. It’s easy for me to do a last-minute bookings or plan in advance. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, provide plenty of love and attention as if your pup is my own, and happily send regular photo updates so you always have a reminder of their sweet face! My goal is for you to return home to a happy, well-cared-for pet.
“Was absolutely amazing!! She took Jamison on very short notice and had the quickest response, she also kept me updated throughout the day!! Jamison looked looked very happy!!”
“Tali had the best day with Anya and her dog Scout! Tali was instantly so comfortable with the both of them. Anya kept me updated during the day and was very responsive and flexible. I got lots of pics and videos from her day. I felt completely at ease leaving my pup with her!”
“Such a great sitter!!!! So grateful I found Merlyn and her sweet pup Nugget! My dog Bodhi loves hanging out with them while I’m at work! Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hi! I took a break from pet sitting but I am so excited to be back! I love all kinds of animals! I have patience for those animals that may be timid or nervous. I can work with training or to just give an opportunity for exercise. I am up for anything! Dogs have become a passion of mine, and I am here to help you take care of your furry friend. They are precious companions and deserve a life where they are loved and paid attention to. That's what I am here for! I can help both your furry friend and help you by providing services and to love on your pet. It can be worry-some to hand your companion over to another so I am here to alleviate that stress. I am between jobs so I have lot of time for walks, play, stimulation etc. Your pet's health and well-being is my priority. I am happy to take your pet on any walks. There are plenty of trails around the Arlington area that are pet friendly. I am happy to play with your pet and give them lots of love!
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life! I am experienced with reactive dogs as well! I am about to get a puppy myself in my home! Please consider that if you intend on boarding with me. I work remote so I am able to drop by and let your pet out/ play/ walk your pet as needed! I understand feeling guilty about letting your pet be home alone all day and I’m here to help! I also am experienced with reactive dogs too! I will be getting a puppy July 2026 as well so please take that into consideration when booking boarding. I will always be cautious of entering your home and leaving your home to prevent any type of escapes and make sure that they are content before I leave and make sure nothing is in reach to maximum safety!
“Dominique was great with my two dogs. They loved him immediately. Dominique was very flexible when I had to add in a couple of additional walks due to work commitments. I would highly recommend him.”
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, affection, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I have a flexible schedule amd am able to work from home. I genuinely enjoy making pet care part of my daily routine. As a dog and cat owner myself, I'm already used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and helping keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'll always do my best to accommodate your pet's normal routine and needs, and will treat them as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they're my own. I always pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and each pet's unique personality and comfort level. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel safe, secure, and well cared for. I work from home 3 days a week and love walking often—caring for pets fits perfectly into my flexible, animal-loving daily routine! Walks or visits! I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing loving attention, play, walks, clean-ups, and comfort—whether in my home or theirs. Safety and respect always comes first.
About: I have been pet sitting and walking for 11 years. My neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for, walk, and feed their pets! I am a graduate student at Virginia Tech's Arlington campus. This summer I will be working remotely with plenty of time to care for your pet! Unfortunately I cannot care for your pets in my own home because our landlord does not allow pets however I am happy to care for them in your home!
“Anne was great dealing with our dog who gets anxious around new people. With a bit of patience and treats, Anne calmed Archie’s nerves without us around and was able to take him for a walk. Very appreciative of Anne taking the time to work with our dog!”
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
“Brittany walked my dog Karuna every afternoon during a busy work week for me. She was very communicative and shared details from every walk. I’m grateful for the attention she gave Karuna and Karuna is very thankful for all the belly rubs!”
“Woodstock! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of him during his walk. I appreciated the update and felt confident he was in good hands. I’d be happy to book Jennifer again and highly recommend her.”
About: I've had loads of experience with dogs of many breeds and ages! My family dog was deaf & blind so I also have experience with dogs with varying need levels! I have one dog in home named Biscuit (8yr old male cavapoo) I also take care of cats!! I work in pastry so I am up early (3/4am) and am home by 2pm every day! My days off vary each week- just feel free to reach out to me and let me know what you're looking for! I have one very friendly dog in home, he is fully crate trained and can be kept in a separate room if needed! I live just a few blocks from the swampoodle dog park so we can always walk and play there! :) I have plenty of dog toys, food/water bowls, etc in home if needed as well
About: I grew up with a German Shepherd, so I know firsthand how much our pets become part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks—and I’ll make sure your pet gets the care and attention that’s right for them. I also participated in getting my dog trained so I understand the patience and dedication they deserve. I’m currently a nurse, which means I’m naturally responsible, attentive, and used to following routines and instructions carefully. My schedule varies, but that actually gives me a lot of availability on weekdays. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. As a nurse, I’m comfortable paying attention to details, sticking to schedules, communicating clearly, and staying calm when something unexpected comes up. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages during visits or stays, because I know it’s reassuring to see your happy pup while you’re away.
“Selina is absolutely amazing with my dog! She is incredibly talented, patient, and skilled, and it’s obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. She is very professional, communicative, and dependable. My dog loves spending time with her, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing he is in such good hands. I highly recommend Selina to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and exceptional to care for their dog!”
“Isabelle and Diego are the best!! They are flexible with my often last minute dog walking requests, share updates from the walks, and give my dog lots of love when they get back.”
About: I recently started dog walking and love it - also love cats too! I'm pretty patient, and I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have a lot of time to cat sit, dog walk, or pet sit - ideally looking to care for pets in the Arlington, Alexandria, DC area. Anywhere that I can either walk to or get to by metro! I'll make sure your pet gets enough play time, regular walks, stays hydrated and fed :) Happy to host at my place or be in the pet's home environment.
About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life- ranging from gerbils to birds to dogs. I love all animals and find joy in taking care of them. I have experience with my Pomeranian and have dog sat anywhere from tiny French Bulldogs to large Pit-bulls. Each dog has their own personality and I love that about them. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and helped with dog adoption events. I am a huge softy for cuddlers, but also understand that not all dogs like that (for example my Pomeranian, Ricky). While I do not have much experience with cats, I will play with them as much as they allow! I promise your pet could not be left in more caring hands! I am very responsible and will take great care of your furry friend!
About: I grew up with a Newfoundland which made me very comfortable and loving of large breed dogs! I also spend a lot of time with an adorable dachshund! I believe being around this range of sizes has made me aware of their needs and specific care and how they differ. I’m an animal lover and will take care of your dog as if it’s my own! I work from home three days a week with a flexible schedule that allows for walks or potty breaks and some much needed play time! I live in a first floor apartment with grass all around! The space is cleaned frequently and easy for a dog to roam around. It’s right across the street from big area with grass to run around in and a very walkable spot or Arlington! There are no other animals in the home.

“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“Kerstyn was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“I can't begin to express gratitude and appreciation for Mirella. She accommodated me when she didn't have to. She is ao kind hearted and genuinely cares about my lil boy. She gave updates throughout the day and made sure that he was taken care of. I am a repeat customer! She is the best!”
“Kelly was a great dogsitter! She was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly, so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And I think our dog had as good of a vacation as we did! Kelly played lots of fetch with him and made sure he was loved and spoiled.”
“Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”
“Alyce - truly loves dogs and it was clear throughout Blues stay! He had the best time playing in the backyard with Mookie and Alyce went above and beyond to make Blue feel at home and keep him entertained. She even gave him new plush toys and rawhides throughout his stay. Derek and I were updated frequently with Lots of adorable updates with pics and videos of Blue enjoying his time at what we came to call “the rover equivalent to Dog Disneyland” 10 star stay and we will definitely be booking Blue a visit with Alyce and Mookie again!”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“I left my dog Archie with Francise for a couple days and she was great with him! He’s an anxious one and when I went to get him he seemed so happy and comfortable. Francise was great with accommodating me and had great communication while I was away.”
“Mckinley watched my kitten Cashew over the July 4 long weekend, and she was awesome! A week before Cashew’s boarding stay started, she proposed a phone call to learn all about his care and any concerns I had. She sent consistent updates with photos/videos of Cashew throughout his stay, and he clearly had a blast playing with her cat!”
“I'm a happy returning client. Wendy thoroughly enjoys her stay with Sonia and John. John provides a lot of updates and photos, and I can relax knowing that she's having a great time.”

“Ewelina was an excellent sitter for my dog Molly. She was very communicative with pictures, and handled her finicky food attitude! She gave her pills daily and I came home to a happy dog. Thank you, Ewelina!!! Next time I travel I’ll definitely look for Ewelina to care for Molly!”
“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
