“Lydia has been a great asset to us. She is convenient and loves the pups. You can tell that she loves animals and we know our Jake is well cared for and loved while we are gone.”
“James and Iryna were great! Mighty the greyhound could not have been happier or had a more enjoyable stay. Thank you for the photos and videos. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend.”
“Eun and her husband took great care of Jax and provided me with videos and pictures throughout his stay. Thank you for making him comfortable and keeping him busy. Looking forward to our next booking.”
“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“Zahra and her family did an excellent job looking after my little guy. Super responsive and they have an amazing space for you doggies to run around in. Their home was clean, they sat down with me to discuss Xerxes’ needs and made sure to check in when he was with them. I have to also note that she showed a tremendous amount of patience and flexibility when I had a delayed flight from my trip. Would definitely entrust my little guys care to them again.”
“Luke had a relaxing weekend with Ali and her family. He was so welcomed, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m glad he was able to roam freely throughout the house just like he does at home.”
“Great people to take care of your fur baby. We had peace of mind leaving our girl in their care. They understood our dog's needs and habits, and gave us updates and pictures every day. She was safe, entertained and loved by John and Joanna' s family. Highly recommend them :)”
About: Hi! I’m a caring, dependable dog mom with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I truly love animals and treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication, or just a safe and loving environment while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to help your dog feel comfortable, happy, and loved, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care for your pet. I’m available most weekends and weekday evenings, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of love, playtime, walks, and attention. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a balcony with a grass patch, one small friendly dog, and a clean, pet-friendly home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and care instructions to make every pet feel safe and loved.
“Katherine has been the absolute best for watching my baby! She takes such good care of him and sticks to his extra care needs. I love that she provides pictures and updates each day! Hes always so happy and comfortable when I arrive to pick him up!”
“She was great, we did a meet and great and was friendly, loving towards my dog. Very patient and accommodating with changes on the book. My dog and hers got along great. I will book her again for sure!”
“Oh my goodness this lady is one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet. You can tell she really likes dogs and is so good with them. When she arrived, our dogs acted as though they knew her and loved her attention. Could tell through the pictures that she was just fantastic to them.”
“Nisha and her family were wonderful with Miles. We received daily pictures and/or videos. Miles is a shy dog, but he was very clearly treated with great care. We thoroughly appreciated Nisha and her husband for being flexible with our schedule and their expert handling of our Miles. Thank you. 10/10 will rebook with Nisha.”
“We recently left our dog with Sowmiya for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From day one, she was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What stood out was how much her whole family engaged with our dog. Her husband and child took him on walks around the neighborhood and played with him in a secure, enclosed area—he looked so happy and relaxed in every picture! It was clear that Sowmiya truly cared about his well-being and gave him lots of attention, exercise, and love. We came home to a calm, content pup, and we’re so thankful for the care he received. Highly recommend Sowmiya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ana is an amazing dog sitter. It was my dog's first time staying with her, and she went above and beyond to ensure he felt right at home. She took the time to share regular updates, which really put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for her care and attention!”
“Andrew and his family took care of my old guy Brownie so well - I do not think my doggie missed me! He was very good at keeping me informed and sent lots of pictures. My dog enjoyed his stay with his new second family.”
“Ashley and her family took great care of our cat MJ! The pictures Ashley sent of MJ having fun makes us smile and laugh. We have to ask ourselves, “is that our cat?” because MJ is so comfortable and out going with Ashley and her family. Ashley - thank you for the great care you give to MJ!”
“This was my pups first time being boarded and I was a bit anxious. Mei and her family took good care of Sandy and Oreo sending pictures and videos daily showing them on walks and in the house playing.Mei also sent pictures of their sleeping arrangements (I brought their dog beds) asking if it was a good set up for them. I would definitely recommend Mei and her family for anyone’s small breed fur babies.”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Cody while I was away. We are lucky to have such a wonderful sitter, and I’m so grateful for your help. Thanks again for everything!”

It was clear she genuinely cared about my cats’ comfort and well being. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Nouf was fantastic! She took great care of my cat and was flexible throughout my time away. Her communication was clear and I always knew my cat was doing well.

“Yiyi was a great sitter for my cat Joyce and was very communicative with all of the visits! I loved the photos she took of my cat! She gave my cat a lot of care and also went above to clean vomit when my cat ate too fast. She is very attentive and my cat (and I) definitely recommend her!”

“We were so grateful to find Amy on short notice—she was an absolute lifesaver! From the start, her communication was excellent with regular updates, photos, and quick responses that gave us total peace of mind. She took amazing care of our cats and clearly has a lot of experience. One of our biggest concerns was medication, and she handled it confidently and without any issues. We also came home to everything clean and exactly as we left it, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and absolutely plan to for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“We hired Alexandra for drop-ins for our cat and she was great! At our first meeting she immediately was sitting on the floor giving our cat the affection he was requesting, and he was so happy. While we were gone she gave him all the cuddles he needed (we could tell by his behavior when we returned) and she followed the instructions we left. She always responded to messages quickly and communicated clearly. Definitely recommend.”
“June is FANTASTIC and took such great care of our girls while we were away. Even our most critical kitty fell in love with her. She has a lovely way about making each kitty feel comfortable based on their unique personality.”
About: I’ve had dogs, horses, and rodents, my whole life except a five year stint when I traveled. I have my own dog who’s three years old named Kevin. He’s the most spoiled boy! Kevin isn’t friendly with other dogs so I have plenty of experience walking dogs who need to avoid contact with other dogs. Please reach out with any questions! I look forward to meeting your furbabies and treating them like my own. I work during the day so I am available evenings and weekends. I have a slightly flexible schedule that allows me to be available early mornings. I will follow the pet owners guide to the letter. If you have a preferred walking path, I will take it. I always come equipped with poop bags, toys, and a first aid kit in case of emergencies. If I am caring for your pet in your home I will keep you updated with times, pictures, and a description of the care I provide.
“Cecelia was so great with our cats! Both Bunny and Eggy warmed up to her quickly and she was so patient with them. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were well taken care of and Cecelia gave us very thorough updates for each of her drop ins that made us feel reassured. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
“Jaelen watched our two kittens while we were away. She was super responsive and gave an amazing care to our kitties. She was respectful of the house and everything was left clean and tidy.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Lydia and can’t recommend her enough. She is incredibly responsive, which gave me peace of mind from the very beginning. Communication was consistent, thoughtful, and timely—something that really matters when you’re trusting someone with your pet. What stood out the most was the level of care and patience she showed. My dog can be a bit resistant in new environments, but she handled it with such calmness and understanding. It was clear they took the time to build trust and make my pet feel as comfortable as possible. It’s not easy to find someone who combines professionalism with genuine care, but she truly does. I felt confident knowing my pet was in good hands, and I will absolutely be using her services again.”

About: I've been with dogs since I was a kid, and honestly, I can't explain my attachment to these beautiful souls. When I look into their eyes, I see pure love—and I believe they deserve nothing less in return. For years, I've onboarded and cared for dogs, learning their personalities, their quirks, their fears. I understand separation anxiety deeply, and I make it my mission to turn your absence into comfort, not stress. When your dog stays with me, they're not in a kennel or with a "sitter." They're at home. Your pup will have: 1) A warm, cozy vacation home where they're part of my family—including my own dog, who provides constant companionship and helps anxious pups feel safe 2) Adventure & Exercise: Long walks, hiking trails, and outdoor playtime—because a happy dog is an active dog 3) Structure with Love: Meals on schedule, plus treats I've earned through their good behavior—think fresh boiled chicken, their favorite reward 4) Real Connection: I treat every dog like my own. Not because it's my job, but because I genuinely can't help it. I work from home, so the pups get 24/7 care and attention. My day revolves around the dogs: morning walks, midday adventures, weekend trials, regular potty breaks, scheduled meals, playtime, and constant companionship. They're never alone—never crated—never waiting. They won't experience separation anxiety here. They'll experience a loving home where they're part of my daily routine, every single day. Pups get a warm, cozy, dog-friendly environment where they're treated like family. They have access to comfortable spaces, toys, water, and safe outdoor areas. My own dog is here too, providing constant companionship—especially important for dogs with separation anxiety. They're never alone, never crated. Daily Care in My Home: Nutrition: Meals on schedule, portion-controlled, with fresh boiled chicken treats (their favorite!) Exercise: Multiple walks and hikes daily, playtime, outdoor adventures based on each dog's energy level Comfort: Bedding, safe spaces, cuddle time, and the security of knowing I'm always here Attention: Individualized care—I learn each dog's personality, fears, and needs from day one Health: Medication management, scheduled potty breaks, and monitoring their wellbeing
“Vivian was wonderful with our dog! She sent updates and pics throughout the day. She followed our instructions. She also accommodated her with some steps to get onto the couch and made a nice perch for her to look out the window. Thanks again Vivian!”
About: I’ve had the pleasure to help my friends and family with their fur babies. They’ve put my trust in them by showing love and attention to their pups. We are very flexible with our time for the fur babies and adjust our routine if needed. My partner and I have a flexible schedule and work around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced backyard. My dog and always use a friend! Flexible to move things around the house for your pup, and to make them comfortable.
About: Being a pet parent myself, I understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a very special member of your family. That is something I never take lightly. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dog as well as dogs belonging to friends and neighbors, always treating them with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I genuinely love animals and have a natural sense of empathy for their individual personalities, routines, comforts, and needs. I believe dogs respond best to kindness, consistency, patience, and encouragement. I’m comfortable using positive reinforcement and creating a calm, happy environment where dogs can feel safe, understood, and cared for. Most importantly, I know the peace of mind a pet parent needs when they are away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your dog is not simply being watched - they are being cared for with genuine affection, responsibility, and heart. 🐾 I currently work remotely in the IT field, which gives me the wonderful opportunity to be home and spend my days doing something else I truly love being around animals and caring for them. My love for animals goes back to my childhood. I grew up in a home with two German Shepherds and four cows, so being surrounded by animals has always felt natural and comforting to me. I truly believe animals are beautiful examples of unconditional love, forgiveness, loyalty, and positivity and simply being around them brings me so much joy. Today, I’m also a proud pet parent to a friendly, happy Mini Poodle who brings endless love and laughter into our home. I understand firsthand how important it is to know that your fur-baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while you are away. I look forward to welcoming your doggies into our home and caring for them as I would my own with patience, affection, attention, and lots of love. My hope is to give them a happy, comfortable “second home” experience where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. Thank you for considering me to care for such a special member of your family! I have a friendly and happy 7-year-old Mini Poodle who would love to be a sweet companion to other fur-babies during their stay. They can enjoy supervised playtime together, leisurely walks, and fun fetch games in our fenced yard - all while receiving plenty of attention, affection, and care. Our home is located in a secure community in East Gate, Chantilly, with 24/7 video surveillance, providing an added sense of safety and peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, comfortable, and loving environment where your doggie can feel relaxed, cared for, and truly at home.
“Iryana was amazing, she sent updates with photos and videos throughout the day. I can confidently say my dogs were well taken care off. Our dogs will definitely be rovered with her again.”
“Nina was amazing! She was quick and friendly when communicating and I appreciated the multiple photo/video updates throughout my pup’s stay. Will definitely book with her again!”
“I highly recommend Eun Ha. Sammy returned for day 3 and 4. He had 12 hour days, but my husband and I felt comfortable with the care he was given. Videos showed him going on walks, eating and relaxing like he does at home. I’m so happy to have found a great pet sitter & I’ll definitely be recommending to my friends. Thank you so much!”
“I can’t recommend Victor enough! I was nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time and he totally took my fears away. His communication was excellent before and during the time he watched her, and he was so thoughtful caring after her and making sure she got a ton of play time. He sent some wonderful pictures and videos of her playing and she had the best time. In fact when it was time to go it seemed like she wanted to stay there instead of come home. Will definitely be reaching out to him again!”
“Jeanette was absolutely amazing! My dog Luna instantly felt at ease and smiled the whole time she was there. Jeanette sent me so many pictures and videos and in every one Luna was full smiles. Luna had a great time and we will definitely use Jeanette again. Highly recommend!”

About: I love animals, especially dogs, and spend a lot of my free time volunteering at local shelters. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and disabilities. Currently I am caring for two dogs with disabilities long term: and elderly French Bulldog with partial paralysis, and a young pittie mix with three legs due to a car accident. These dogs require equal amounts of patience and love when being cared for, as well as extra attention and physical aid with mobility (ex. going up and down stairs) I'm someone who genuinely loves animals, and would do this for free if everything wasn't so expensive now. I will take the time to socialize and get to know your pet so they are comfortable, relaxed, and overjoyed when I arrive. I also have a medical background which makes me very comfortable dealing with pet medications and special needs. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan around my clients schedules and ensure I am free to care for your pet almost any day and time. I take care of two disabled dogs full time, they require extra care and attention but you can expect that same level from me when I care for any pet. You can expect me to tailor the experience to your specific doggos needs, to socialize and play with them, and to make sure they're always overjoyed when I stop by. I have good attention to detail and a medical background which allows me to handle any special needs or routines your pet has.
About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I have experience caring for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My own 14-year-old dog has taught me that every walk doesn't have to be fast to be meaningful, and I'm happy to match each pet's pace and individual needs. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own dog daily, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time together, I'm committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home. I have a gentle, friendly 14-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals. While I don't have a fenced yard, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise and outdoor time through regular leashed walks. I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and I'll do my best to keep them on the routine they're used to at home.
“Tamara is absolutely incredible. We have been though a couple of walkers (they’ve been great too) however, Tamara is amazing. She goes above and beyond. She spends time working with my pup, communicates and gives helpful suggestions on how to get my pup to lower his anxiety. If I could give her 6 stars, I WOULD! Highly recommend!”
“Darlin was fantastic! Wonderful communicator, very professional, right on time, and our 8 month old puppy loved her. We will definitely have her back. Highly recommend! Thanks Darlin!”
“I'm so glad I found Nouf! She was punctual for every walk and kept me in the loop with photo updates. My dog was thrilled to see her again during her second visit. I’ll definitely be booking with Nouf again whenever the need arises.”
“Sabrilla was great! She was on time on all days, took Murph-E for a walk and exercised him as requested. Even on the day it was raining, she came and took him. Good communication and reliable.”
“Ashley was an absolute angel watching my Romeo!! She was extremely thorough and followed my instructions to a T (there were many! Lol) she was inquisitive and took pride in being helpful and making sure my puppy was well taken care of. She was always early or on time and always gave my baby lots of love! I would and WILL be asking her to dog sit again! Thank you so much Ashley!! ⭐️”

About: With a passion for pet care that goes beyond the ordinary, my experience as a sitter stands out through a unique blend of empathy, dedication, and specialized skills. I excel in not only providing the essential care routines for pets but also in understanding their individual needs and quirks. What sets me apart is my proficiency in training puppies, employing positive reinforcement techniques to nurture their development into well-behaved companions. Moreover, I have a knack for senior pet care, tailoring my approach to cater to the specific requirements of older animals, whether it's administering medication, providing gentle exercises, or simply offering extra companionship. My commitment to creating a safe and enriching environment for all pets ensures that each furry friend under my care receives personalized attention and a tailored experience that sets me apart from other sitters. I work from home fulltime so I can be available daily for your pet care as long as I'm not on travel. I find keeping the pet's usual schedule is best for their comfort and to quell any anxiety. I can care for your pets in your home to keep their usual daily schedule and surroundings. I find this is less stressful for the fur-baby.
About: It’s been three years since I started pet sitting through Rover, and the experience has been truly rewarding. The more time I spend with dogs, the deeper my love for them grows. I’ve also become much better at reading their signals and understanding their unique personalities. My family and I have always wanted to adopt more dogs, but due to various circumstances, it hasn’t been easy. Pet sitting turned out to be the perfect alternative—it’s been a fantastic experience for all of us! The hardest part is always saying goodbye, but over time, we’ve realized that many of our furry guests return to stay with us again, which brings us so much joy. In our home, we let dogs be themselves. If they want to nap on the couch or prefer some alone time, we give them that space. If they want to sleep in the bedroom, they’re more than welcome to. We let them choose where they feel most comfortable. I’ve been around dogs since I was young and often cared for my friends’ pets while they traveled. So I have a lot of experience understanding their needs and making them feel at home. Every member of my family loves dogs, and we treat every guest like our own. When I meet a new dog, I stay close to them and spend the whole day observing and bonding with them. This helps me understand their likes, dislikes, and behaviors so I can ease any anxiety they may have. I always communicate with pet parents about their dog’s habits, but I also make sure to observe and learn from the dog directly—because even though they can’t speak, they communicate a lot through their actions. Your dog will be loved, respected, and well cared for in our home—as if they were part of our family. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two teenagers, and I’m usually home during both weekdays and weekends—except when I travel or occasionally go out for errands or to drive my kids. Even when I’m out, other members of my family are usually home, so your dog will rarely be left alone. My daily routine starts around 6:00 AM. I take the dogs out to our fenced backyard, feed them breakfast, and then we go for a 30-minute walk. If the weather allows, the dogs are welcome to go in and out of the backyard freely throughout the day. After dinner, we go for another walk to get some fresh air and exercise. If you have specific requests, I’m happy to accommodate additional walks during the day as well. Before bedtime—around 10:00 PM—I take the dogs out one last time for a bathroom break and then settle them in for the night. I can ensure at least two walks per day, plus regular access to a safe, fenced yard. Since I’m home most of the time, and my family is here when I’m not, your dog will enjoy plenty of company and attention throughout their stay. We live in a single-family home, which is very dog-friendly and easy to navigate—no need to go up and down long flights of stairs. There are just a couple of steps at the entrance, making it easy for dogs of all sizes and ages to go in and out comfortably. Our home features a large deck where dogs can relax and enjoy the sunshine, as well as a screened porch where they can stay dry and cozy even on rainy days—perfect for pups who still want to be outside without getting wet. We also have a fully fenced backyard, so dogs can safely go outside during the day whenever they’d like. Whether they want to play, lounge, or explore, our home provides a comfortable and secure environment for them to feel right at home.
About: Lifelong animal love with over 15 years of dog walking and pet sitting experience. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, and my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe and care for. I have experience for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication, cuddles on the couch, or a simply a calm routine, I'm happy to provide personalized care based on their individual needs. As a healthcare professional, I'm dependable, attentive to detail, and I understand the importance of responsibility, communication and trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. Currently working as a full-time x-ray technologist Monday-Friday until 4:30pm and I get back to the area around 5pm. I have two beloved twin sibling Daschunds (Pebbles and Bambam) that turned 8 years old on April 9th of this year. I know firsthand that pets are family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and providing the peace of mind you deserve while you're away! During each dog walking visit, I do more than just take your dog for a walk. I make sure your pet has fresh water, provide meals or treats if requested, administer medications (if needed and discussed beforehand), clean up any accidents, and give your dog plenty of love, attention and playtime. I'll also keep your home secure by bringing in packages or mail, adjusting lights or blinds if requested, and ensuring doors and gates are locked before I leave. My goal is to keep your fur baby happy, safe, and comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and treating them like one of my own.
“Kristen has been awesome! My Storm took to her right away. She has been very punctual and I definitely notice Storm’s more relaxed attitude since their walks and time together. I’m very appreciative! I definitely recommend Kristen to anyone, like myself, that needs someone to walk, exercise, and care for him while you’re at work! Only positive things to say!”
About: I love animals! I have a dog currently and had a cat. I’ve been caring for them my whole life. I know a lot about both dogs and cats. I adopted my cat and got my dog close in age so they would be close with each other so i’ve had both puppies and kittens to elder pets. I love going on runs and walks with my dog and having fun together. I’d have to say bathing and playing with both dogs and cats is my favorite but I love doing anything with pets. A special skill I have would be cutting dog and cat nails especially the darker nails and having both dogs and cats feel comfortable while getting a bath. There is never a dull moment when caring for any dog or cat.
About: stays), you could write: I’ve been taking care of dogs for quite a while now. Many of my neighbors and family friends trust me to look after their dogs. I provide in-home drop-in visits and dog walks, making sure dogs are fed, exercised, and well cared for while their owners are away. At this time, I only offer drop-in visits and walks and do not provide overnight care. I am currently working a part time job but as it is my summer break and there isn’t much happening in my day I am mostly free at home I have a huge house so I just let the dogs play around in the basement and if they ever need a friend for company we have 3 other dogs on my street that they can meet and they are very friendly
“Cecelia & Andrew are the best!! They go above and beyond on walks with my girl - often spending more time with her than requested. They play with her, give her lots of love, and take her on special outings to get a pup cup! They always leave a thorough report with pics and videos too! Highly recommend 👌🏻”

“James and Iryna were great! Mighty the greyhound could not have been happier or had a more enjoyable stay. Thank you for the photos and videos. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend.”
“She was great, we did a meet and great and was friendly, loving towards my dog. Very patient and accommodating with changes on the book. My dog and hers got along great. I will book her again for sure!”
“We recently left our dog with Sowmiya for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From day one, she was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What stood out was how much her whole family engaged with our dog. Her husband and child took him on walks around the neighborhood and played with him in a secure, enclosed area—he looked so happy and relaxed in every picture! It was clear that Sowmiya truly cared about his well-being and gave him lots of attention, exercise, and love. We came home to a calm, content pup, and we’re so thankful for the care he received. Highly recommend Sowmiya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Andrew and his family took care of my old guy Brownie so well - I do not think my doggie missed me! He was very good at keeping me informed and sent lots of pictures. My dog enjoyed his stay with his new second family.”
“Kyle took really great care of my dog when we were away on a month long vacation. He kept me updated with pictures and status. Very loving and caring family! Would definitely recommend.”
“William was wonderful to our boy, Mickey! He was so flexible and understanding to coordinate a meet and greet then overnight stay. Lots of updates were sent showing Mickey having a great time with Maui! Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating!”
“Poornima is an incredibly kind and responsive sitter. Our first sitter cancelled last minute but Poornima was super flexible and accepted our booking on short notice. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our dog, Peach, was in her care. She sent us a lot of pictures and took amazing care of Peach. Peach had a lot of fun with Joe, her chocolate lab as well. We really recommend Poornima if you need a sitter!”
“I had my usual sitter cancel on me last minute and had to emergency book someone. I am usually very very nervous to leave my fur baby with anyone but Sudharani made things very comfortable for me. Not only did she schedule a meet and greet but she actually took my little dude for an hour or two to make sure he would acclimate to the house before we left him with her. He was staying with her during the forest fires and she made sure to minimize time outdoors to protect his lungs, and sent me tons of pictures. I will definitely be booking her services again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
About: I've been with dogs since I was a kid, and honestly, I can't explain my attachment to these beautiful souls. When I look into their eyes, I see pure love—and I believe they deserve nothing less in return. For years, I've onboarded and cared for dogs, learning their personalities, their quirks, their fears. I understand separation anxiety deeply, and I make it my mission to turn your absence into comfort, not stress. When your dog stays with me, they're not in a kennel or with a "sitter." They're at home. Your pup will have: 1) A warm, cozy vacation home where they're part of my family—including my own dog, who provides constant companionship and helps anxious pups feel safe 2) Adventure & Exercise: Long walks, hiking trails, and outdoor playtime—because a happy dog is an active dog 3) Structure with Love: Meals on schedule, plus treats I've earned through their good behavior—think fresh boiled chicken, their favorite reward 4) Real Connection: I treat every dog like my own. Not because it's my job, but because I genuinely can't help it. I work from home, so the pups get 24/7 care and attention. My day revolves around the dogs: morning walks, midday adventures, weekend trials, regular potty breaks, scheduled meals, playtime, and constant companionship. They're never alone—never crated—never waiting. They won't experience separation anxiety here. They'll experience a loving home where they're part of my daily routine, every single day. Pups get a warm, cozy, dog-friendly environment where they're treated like family. They have access to comfortable spaces, toys, water, and safe outdoor areas. My own dog is here too, providing constant companionship—especially important for dogs with separation anxiety. They're never alone, never crated. Daily Care in My Home: Nutrition: Meals on schedule, portion-controlled, with fresh boiled chicken treats (their favorite!) Exercise: Multiple walks and hikes daily, playtime, outdoor adventures based on each dog's energy level Comfort: Bedding, safe spaces, cuddle time, and the security of knowing I'm always here Attention: Individualized care—I learn each dog's personality, fears, and needs from day one Health: Medication management, scheduled potty breaks, and monitoring their wellbeing
“Hannah was great. She was very communicative and shared photos of our boy with us while we were away. Our dog was very happy and relaxed during his stay with Hannah and the beagles.”
“Stacie is so great. This was the third time our pup has stayed with her and every time he comes back happy. Stacie sends great photos and keeps us updated. Wish we could tip more!”
“Sujan went above and beyond to take excellent care of my Paco boy! I love that he believes in a fresh diet. Paco seemed very content when I picked him up, and Sujan kept me informed daily on his care. I will always book with Sujan in the future.”
“We had a great experience with Tatiana and would absolutely book with her again! She was incredibly easy to coordinate with from start to finish, which made travel planning so much less stressful. Our dog Shep seemed to really enjoy his stay and made new friends! We also especially appreciated Tatiana’s care and communication around a hot spot flare-up Shep was dealing with right before his stay. Tatiana kept us updated on how he was doing, including how he was handling his medication and whether she noticed any licking or itching, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her location is also super convenient to the airport (IAD), which was a huge plus for travel happening by plane. Thank you, Tatiana, for a great stay for Shep and wonderful experience for us dog parents!”
“Noelle is a wonderful person. She really makes you feel like your dog is in the best care possible. She provided great updates on how their time together was going and it really helped ease my nerves of using a sitter for the first time. She is great and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone that will make your pup feel like they are right at home.”
“Candice was an excellent sitter for Ahsoka. They took to each other immediately and she sent me plenty of pictures. Ahsoka was very loved and I look forward to hiring Candice again.”
“Alexia was very accommodating and agreed to take care of our doggie even though it was a last minute request. She’s very kind, reliable, responsible and by the pictures I received I could tell my doggie was very confortable and happy with her. I highly recommend her and we would book her again.”
“Fatima was very attentive to all the details I told her about my boy. I felt very safe and assured leaving him with her and I would definitely go to her again. She is very responsive to any texts and questions you may have!”
“One of our pups had never stayed the night away from home so we were a little nervous. Chaoran made sure she was comfortable and happy. Both our dogs seemed to do great for the week. We were so thankful for the daily updates and care shown to our furry family members!”
