“Domino was well looked after. He came home happy and tired. There were lots of other dogs to play with and he got to see all sorts of other animals that he has never seen before. Lots of indoor and outdoor space for him. Sitter was very personable and definitely has a way with dogs! Definitely recommend.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Megan is absolutely amazing. I never worry for a second if my 2 babies are okay. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when I need her. My babies always come back home very relax and I can tell they were very much loved. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when we need her. The best sitter ever!! We will be back soon.”
“Michelle took such good care of our baby. She sent pics, reassuring us he was in good hands. Michelle treated Jax like her own pet. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby.”
“It looked like Shadow had a great time. Thank you for taking such good care of my furry baby. It was nice that I didn't have to worry about her while I was away. Thanks Connie!”
“Great sitter! Have booked many times. He's so great with my dog. She has separation anxiety- Phillip takes such good care of her. He is attentive and caring. Highly recommend”
“Sake returned back for another trailblazing/boarding adventure with Seyla. While the rest of the family went away for the last summer vacation of the season, Sake had a blast at boarding! I saw continuous photos/videos and evidence of her loving her hikes, swims, playtime, naps, food feasts (she had no leftovers in her food bowl), naps, being free to roam in the backyard at the Trailblazing Homestead. It is never a dull moment for Sake. I am afraid Sake had a better time at boarding then we did on vacation.”
“Eldeen and her family make my dog, Ruben, feel like he has a second home. I know that when I leave him in their care that he will be taken care of like he’s at home. From the first meet and greet, Eldeen and her family, have made sure that I was comfortable leaving Ruben in their care. They are my go to sitter for Ruben.”
“Morgan was very communicative and flexible, willing to accommodate my schedule at the last minute as well as Buddy's reserved nature. He sent updates to let me know how Buddy was doing, which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be reaching out to him on the future!”
“Lily was phenomenal! We felt so at ease throughout the entire process from meet-and-greet to pick-up. Her house is a dog’s dream vacation destination. She truly centers dogs’ well-being in everything she does, from the daily schedule to the layout of her home, you can tell she has dogsitting down to a science! Not to mention, she kept us updated throughout the day on how Stuart was doing, with both pictures & videos! Her attention to detail and organization is truly impeccable. I was so impressed throughout the week. We are so thankful to have such a trusted and reliable place for our dog Stuart to have the best time and most care whenever we’re away. Thank you 1 million, Lily! Would give you six stars if I could!”
“La Tasha always takes care of Ace as if he is her own. I don’t know what I’d ever do if she wasn’t available to watch my Ace. Very caring and loving environment. Love the checkins and updates”
“Once again we had Anika watch our Max and once again we had one happy puppy both when we dropped him off and when we picked him up! We are so happy we found her and Max loves his time spent with Anika and Chip.”
“Traci was wonderful for our girls! Very kind and attentive, sending us daily pictures to put our mind at ease that our girls were happy and well taken care of. She treated them like her own, and for that we are incredibly grateful!”
“This was Roxy's first stay with Christopher and she came back worn out which I thoroughly appreciate. Happy to see that he has a safe method for the dogs to run and roan without disappearing. Appreciate Christopher taking such good care of Roxy and will definitely book with him again.”
“My pup had a fantastic stay with Bobbi and her husband. They treated Emma like one of the family. I received photo / video updates daily, which really made it easier knowing she was having fun and well taken care of. Emma got along great with Bobbi's dogs and they were playing together in no time. She had so much fun during her stay, she went right to bed when we got home...always a good sign! I would highly recommend Bobbi and her husband. They were very thorough in making sure that they had the same rules in place for Emma as we do at home in order to make sure she stays within her routine, which was greatly appreciated. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“I was very pleased with the care my fur babies received from Nick and Cici. I got updates and photos of them and I could see how comfortable they were in their home. It made me feel good to leave them and I know I will let them stay again! My babies were treated like they were a part of a new loving family environment and that warms my heart.”

About: My name is Mallorie. I'm a mom. Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends. I have a Alaskan Malamute. Her name is Carly Rae. I've also adopted five stray cats. They showed up on my door step, and since then I've been taking care of them. Some of my hobbies are, hiking, camping, and swimming. My dog loves hiking with me. I'm excited to get to know your pet and care for them! 🐕 Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. An act as simple as refilling their food bowl at the same time every day is enough to make them feel comfortable in their living space. Proper pet care includes providing a safe and comfortable area. Frequency with letting out to use the bathroom. Making sure that your pet gets regular exercise, such as walks and play time.
“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 don’t just pop in and feed your cat, I learn their rules for their space, respect their space, and keep their routine locked in so they stay caml and collected while you’re away. Whether they’re shy, clingy, or a tiny menace, I adjust. I notice the small stuff, keep things clean, and send real updates. Medications, special diets, multi-cat drama, surprise hairballs, I adapt and love all the quirks. I earn trust on their terms, fully on cat time. I work for your cat while im in your home. They may run a tight ship but im up to the task! Hired by you, approved by them!
“Victoria always does a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Charlie! She sends us lots of pics and always follows all instructions! By the pics, you can tell he’s very happy and loves seeing her! We’ve used her multiple times and will continue to!”
“So thankful for Emmersyn! She did a wonderful job and I am so thankful for all her help. She truly saved our Christmas as I would have been worried about my cat without her dropping in on him : )”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My family and I are dog lovers but are not ready to own one so we are able to provide your pet with undivided attention and care. I work from home full time so I have the ability to care for your pet and let them outside frequently whenever they wanted it.

About: I have been a dog owner and lover for over 25 years. Your fur babies will definitely be treated like a member of our family while here. I work from home so there will be very little time, if any, that your pup would be without company. I have watched dogs/puppies of friends and families for years. Also would love the added benefit of giving my two pups some company now and then. My husband would also be here on evenings and weekends to help with any four-legged guests. We love dogs and would love to welcome yours while you are away! Pet care is top priority and we will take the best care possible of your fur babies. There will be lots of love, snuggles and exercise, and we will stick to your feeding and walking schedules to keep their routine consistent. We give lots of attention and love to doggy visitors.

I offer in home boarding and care in a peaceful, low stress environment where your animals can relax, explore, and feel at home.

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, fish, snakes, pigs, and even chickens! Currently, I share my home with three beloved cats—Captain, Haven, and Slasher—and one sweet pup, Lucy, who keeps life fun and full of love. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I regularly house-sit and pet-sit for friends and family. I'm currently unemployed due to medical reasons, which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, and check-ins—even if I’m not staying overnight. I like to start with a meet and greet to get to know you and your pets. During that time, I ask clients to walk me through their routine and expectations, and I encourage leaving a detailed care list I can refer back to as needed. My goal is to keep things as smooth, stress-free, and loving as possible—for both you and your pets. I'd love the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same attention and affection I give my own. Let's chat about how I can help! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life with my own cats and dog. I plan my day around feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, so adding in care for other pets fits naturally into my routine. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate visits, walks, or overnight stays based on your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided and make sure pets are in a secure, clean, and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, move at their pace, and keep their daily routines as consistent as possible. I also encourage clients to leave detailed care notes to ensure nothing is missed.
“She was great! She was very understanding and helpful since Izzy is young and was not on her best behavior. She took her on walks and feed her lunch. Larissa was very attentive. I’ll definitely use her again if she’ll have us.”
“Denise was great and treated our dog like family! Her family was very welcoming at the meet and great and every time we dropped our dog off at her home. He always comes home happy, tired, and content. I would highly recommend Denise!”
About: My husband and I are blessed to have a totally fenced in home with over three acres. I decided to use this blessing to bless dogs to come and run and play. Dogs were meant to run and roam not be tied up. I so enjoy being outdoors and being around dogs. I have always had dogs even growing up with my family. My father had a heart for animals and I believe that is where my love has come from. I have three dogs of my own and each one has a very special spirit about them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the rescues and shelters walking the dogs there. I also take rescue puppies into our home and foster them until they are adopted into a loving family. My husband and I work together and we have plenty of time to give special attention to your fur baby. We believe in exercising your pet whether by means of walking, playing with their favorite toy, sitting on the porch just hanging out and also then giving the proper rest as needed. My yard is fenced in for protected play time. While inside your pet will be allowed to be a part of household for special time and then I have a separate area where your pet will be allowed to have quite time and rest in a crate or in a area without a crate as needed.
About: I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m extremely attentive to routines, moods, and comfort levels, so your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Most importantly, I'm compassionate and caring. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets receive a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routines—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime—to help them feel at home. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day while making sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and lots of love.

“Melissa was great at taking care of Dasher Ron short notice. She communicated with me throughout the day and sent pictures. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“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 have a large garden, where your pet can walk and run happily, I live with a sister who loves pets, the whole house has a security camera system.
About: I have a genuine love for all animals and perhaps a special affinity towards man’s best friend! I have had the pleasure of taking care of and owning animals of various kinds throughout the entirety of my life, from cats and dogs, to ferrets and bunnies! I am able to offer basic puppy training, senior dog care/disabled dog care and also administer medicines. Follow our journeys at themanyminiadventures on IG. I work part-time and am the caregiver for my mother since a bad accident in November of last year and have time to walk, play with, feed and take care of your animal’s needs throughout the day, week or even over the weekend! I enjoy getting to know & have fun with different pups and genuinely understand how important it is to leave your fur babies in good hands. My schedule is very flexible for pup-sitting, spending time with your fur babies and giving them adequate playtime and potty opportunities outside. I treat your fur babies like they’re our fur babies while they are here with the exception of following their diet and your specific instructions. We also: walk dogs on a leash. have extra crates if needed. allow dogs outside time for play in a fenced in part of the yard with the pup friends they came with or solo. provide potty and exercise walks while leashed to allow for new scents as well. Feed pups separately unless they came together and we have been notified they eat well together by the owner(s). have additional sleeping blankets and puppy bedding when needed. notify you immediately in the case of any abnormalities/concerns or emergencies. provide you with pictures and updates over the course of your pup’s stay.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds all my life. I currently have my own 2 year old labrador mix who I have raised since he was 5 weeks old. I absolutely adore pets and know how important they are to owners and all pet parents.

I have a fenced backyard and my own socialized and friendly dog of my own. Also have a basement, if privacy concerns arise. Thank you.

“Domino was well looked after. He came home happy and tired. There were lots of other dogs to play with and he got to see all sorts of other animals that he has never seen before. Lots of indoor and outdoor space for him. Sitter was very personable and definitely has a way with dogs! Definitely recommend.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Megan is absolutely amazing. I never worry for a second if my 2 babies are okay. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when I need her. My babies always come back home very relax and I can tell they were very much loved. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when we need her. The best sitter ever!! We will be back soon.”
“Michelle took such good care of our baby. She sent pics, reassuring us he was in good hands. Michelle treated Jax like her own pet. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby.”
“It looked like Shadow had a great time. Thank you for taking such good care of my furry baby. It was nice that I didn't have to worry about her while I was away. Thanks Connie!”
“Great sitter! Have booked many times. He's so great with my dog. She has separation anxiety- Phillip takes such good care of her. He is attentive and caring. Highly recommend”
“Sake returned back for another trailblazing/boarding adventure with Seyla. While the rest of the family went away for the last summer vacation of the season, Sake had a blast at boarding! I saw continuous photos/videos and evidence of her loving her hikes, swims, playtime, naps, food feasts (she had no leftovers in her food bowl), naps, being free to roam in the backyard at the Trailblazing Homestead. It is never a dull moment for Sake. I am afraid Sake had a better time at boarding then we did on vacation.”
“Morgan was very communicative and flexible, willing to accommodate my schedule at the last minute as well as Buddy's reserved nature. He sent updates to let me know how Buddy was doing, which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be reaching out to him on the future!”
“Lily was phenomenal! We felt so at ease throughout the entire process from meet-and-greet to pick-up. Her house is a dog’s dream vacation destination. She truly centers dogs’ well-being in everything she does, from the daily schedule to the layout of her home, you can tell she has dogsitting down to a science! Not to mention, she kept us updated throughout the day on how Stuart was doing, with both pictures & videos! Her attention to detail and organization is truly impeccable. I was so impressed throughout the week. We are so thankful to have such a trusted and reliable place for our dog Stuart to have the best time and most care whenever we’re away. Thank you 1 million, Lily! Would give you six stars if I could!”
“Traci was wonderful for our girls! Very kind and attentive, sending us daily pictures to put our mind at ease that our girls were happy and well taken care of. She treated them like her own, and for that we are incredibly grateful!”
“This was Roxy's first stay with Christopher and she came back worn out which I thoroughly appreciate. Happy to see that he has a safe method for the dogs to run and roan without disappearing. Appreciate Christopher taking such good care of Roxy and will definitely book with him again.”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“I was very pleased with the care my fur babies received from Nick and Cici. I got updates and photos of them and I could see how comfortable they were in their home. It made me feel good to leave them and I know I will let them stay again! My babies were treated like they were a part of a new loving family environment and that warms my heart.”
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.
“A Home Away From Home for Milo! Tanita and Terrence’s care for your fur baby is truly unmatched! Milo had such a wonderful time at their doggy day care. I received regular updates and adorable pictures showing just how happy and comfortable he was. It wasn’t just what they told me — I could see the joy in every photo. When I picked Milo up, he was so content that he fell asleep before we even pulled out of the driveway — a true sign of a day well spent! This experience was a complete success, and I couldn’t be happier with the love and attention he received. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be back — this is absolutely Milo’s home away from home. 🐾❤️”
“Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.”
“Erwin and his wife were heaven sent. I loss my husband to COVID in 2021 and he never allowed anyone to manage our Cane Corso, Hunter. And he was never socialized. Therefore, I tried a well known pet agency that did not have staff that could get him to follow their commands - they pulled him and caused harm to his body. Therefore, I looked for other options and someone from Rover highly recommended Erwin and his wife . They met with me for a meet and greet. He met me again at a dog park - just to see his temperament and behavior around other dogs. When he finally stayed, he was handled with much patience and care. I felt like he was at home. Erwin’s wife was walking him in the yard with no issues. For the first time, I felt my husband would have been pleased with the love and care his dog was getting. I highly recommend them. You could not find a better family to watch over your pet. If you want your dog to feel at home with the same love and care you provide, Erwin and his wife are the one’s for you.”
