“Bailey stay with Rebeca and Roman was great! They took great care of Bailey and I plan to use them again!! Thanks for taking such great care of my little man!!”
“Ashley (and her husband) is an amazing pet sitter! We chose Ashley because she and her husband have done a great deal with feral cats and in rescuing them so we knew immediately that they are compassionate and caring people. They took great care of our cat and he was also able to spend time with Ashley's dog Nike. We have already booked our next sitting dates!”
“Mariel and her family were lovely. We received daily updates with pictures and videos. They took Remy on all sorts of fun adventures, entertained him with new toys and gave him lots of snuggles. Our pup is our baby and we would happily use Mariel again in the future.”
“Max was an amazing sitter for my dog, Kali! Kali had been spayed a week prior to her 4 day stay with Max, and had already ripped her stitches open once, so it was critical that Max made sure she stayed safe and kept her cone on. Max was unbelievably attentive and did an excellent job with her! He sent multiple updates with photos each day, had extra treats and toys for her, took her on multiple walks per day, and even did some basic training with her to make sure she could be left home by herself for brief periods. I would not hesitate to book Max again!”
“Joanna was so loving with my dog and greeted her with so much affection. I felt completely at ease while I was out for the day, knowing that she was being cared for by Joanna. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Kassie was amazing with Darwin and Evie over Thanksgiving weekend. Evie (who is shy around new people/places) was a little nervous when I dropped her off but BFFs with Kassie by the time I picked her up. Darwin loved playing with her pup, Daphne, and running around in the large backyard. Kassie was very good providing updates and photos. Definitely recommend!”
“Bori had such a great time with this lovely couple! They provided so many updates with photos and videos. You can tell my dog had the best time ever! She came back looking super happy. Will definitely consider them again in the future!”
“We are so fortunate to have found Cheryl and Gustavo. They cared for our dog Bruno for 2 weeks. We received pictures regularly and in every one our pup had a big grin on his face. In the past, we've used boutique "doggy daycare"s and they don't even come close to the quality services Cheryl provides. Our pup was cared for like family. Would highly recommend Cheryl & Gustavo.”
“This was my first time ever using Rover and I must say it was such a great experience! Veronica was super laid back and made me feel that Jax was in great hands. I was so worried to drop him off with someone other than family but I will most definitely be reaching out to Veronica in the future. Thanks Veronica!”
“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.”
“We cannot thank Catherine enough for the service that she provides. Our pup is always very happy to arrive at Catherine’s and, more importantly, happy and relaxed when he returns home. Catherine was so kind and flexible when our flight was canceled, resulting in what we anticipated would be a very, very late pick up. You should not hesitate to make a booking with her. She will take very good care of your fur baby.”
“Carlos provides customized and compassionate care! We left our older Beagle for 2 weeks with Carlos and he sent daily updates and photos. He modified her diet when her stomach wasn’t well and made sure she took all of her medications. We were completely at ease on our vacation knowing Maggie was in such great hands. If you are looking for attentive dog sitting, excellent communication and responsiveness, and peace of mind, then you should book Carlos!”
“Jorge and Alejandra were amazing sitters! They sent us some wonderful pictures of our dog and were great at communicating. Very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed. Would highly recommend!”
“Corey was absolutely awesome!! My pup is shy of new places but the daily videos and pics Corey sent to me showed he acclimated immediately! I am so happy to have found Corey to take care of my fur baby!”
“Omar and his family took such great care of my Bella while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in a warm, welcoming environment. She had a blast playing with the other dogs and soaking up all the attention they gave her. What really stood out was the communication. Omar kept me updated with messages, and pictures which made it so much easier being away from her. I could see she was happy, relaxed, and truly being cared for like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Bella came home happy, and that says everything.”
“Richard and his family were the perfect fit for our dog, Honey! Honey is a 15 year old, small dog who has recently gone deaf. She struggles with other dogs and I was having a hard time finding someone who would only take one dog at a time. Then I found Richard! Honey felt right at home with them. I loved the picture and video updates each night. She returned home happy, healthy and ready to play. Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet old girl!”

“We’ve used Katrina a few times now and she is always reliable!! This recent weekend was a very last minute request and she was still able to accommodate. I also appreciate all of the pictures she takes of our little old man while we’re away!”
“Aly was great! She took amazing care of Lari while we were away for vacation all week. She kept us up to date each day and sent us lots of photos! We will definitely be using Aly again in the future!”
“Mallory was so great with my 4 kitties! She took the time to ask questions and follow the instructions left for her. It was very easy to communicate with her while I was away for the weekend. It felt so good knowing my kitties were in great hands! I’m looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
About: I have experience caring for cats while pet sitting. I have been providing food and fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic medications when needed, and giving them attention and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including shy or nervous cats, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“We were very happy with the care and professionalism Hue Man D showed our 2 cats. She would be our first call next time we go out of town. I’m confident anyone would be happy with here work. Gary”
“Jiamin was an amazing sitter. Did an awesome job making sure they were not only fed, but that they felt happy and comfortable. She took the time to find out what toy our kitties liked so they could get a good play time each visit. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and am lucky to still be caring for my childhood dog (17 years old!). Because of this experience, I know some dogs require a routine schedule to make sure they continue to be happy and healthy. Every dog has a one of a kind personality and I love getting to know each dogs quirks and little joys! I will be working close to a 9-5 schedule around 4 days a week. I will be able to give potty breaks or walks before and/or after my work during the work week but I am much more flexible Friday-Sunday. I live in an apartment so I unfortunately cannot offer dog sitting at my place at this time. Because I live in an apartment, I make sure to give my dog morning and evening walks and can make sure your dog gets the same treatment!
“Jessica really went above and beyond for us. Despite the bad weather, she made sure our cat was well taken care of and safe. I can’t recommend Jessica enough if you need someone to take care of your pet.”
“Katherine was great with our two cats! She was very nice and followed instructions well and sent pictures & updates. Our cats automatically clicked with Katherine when she came over for a meet & greet. Our shy cat was even comfortable being out & about while Katherine was here, which is rare for him to do right away. Would definitely use her again!”
“Nate stayed for 7 nights at my home to take care of and be available for my cat, Tom. I recently got Tom and he is very fearful of others. He came from an environment where he had been left alone for a long period of time. I know 7 nights is a long period for anyone to stay at someone else’s home and I truly appreciate him and all that he did. I did not give him 5 starts only because I wished he had been a little more communicative. I had requested a daily text via the booking questions, but I often had to initiate any communication. Otherwise, 5 stars. Thank you Nate!!”
“Dionisia is a great pet care taker . She is very good and patient with handling dogs with anxiety like mine and I can tell my dog loved her as well. She send photos and always communicated very well with me. I 100% trust and recommend her for anyone who may want to book with her !”
“Samantha was amazing with my sweet girls! She made sure they received lots of attention, love, and care while I was away. When I unexpectedly had to extend my trip, she was incredibly flexible and graciously continued caring for them, which gave me such peace of mind. I truly appreciated the updates and knowing that Princess Leia and Stella Bella were in such good hands. They were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved having Samantha look after them. Princess Leia and Stella Bella are going to miss you, Samantha! Thank you for everything—I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter. ❤️”
“Brenda was awesome! She took lots of photos and made me feel at ease being away from my sweet girl, Maple. She was very easy to work with and responded quickly. I’m so glad I chose her and knew she would be the right choice! Highly recommend 🤗”

“I highly reccomend Tamara. We were first time vistors to the area, and she was very accommodating when our plans changed last minute, was helpful answering our questions about the area, and was understanding when traveling back from D.C. took longer then we anticipated. Most importantly, my nervous dog settled in very quickly and was very comfortable staying with her, and I picked him up relaxed and happy.”
“Thank you so much for looking after my Chewy! He came back very happy and Well taken care off! I got 2 pictures of how he was doing and was told how he was when I came to pick him up. Would definitely rebook again whenever I get the chance!”
About: Eating, medicine, play time will follow your normal routine. Will send pictures/videos as often as you would like, I want you to be happy and comfortable knowing your pet is having a wonderful time Tzu, Pugs, Portuguese Water Dogs, Goldens. I work for Fairfax County Public Schools in the Administration office and am home every day by 3pm during the week. Please provide their normal schedule for feeding time and exercise so I can maintain this while you are away. I offer overnight stays aimed for those that work night shifts that would need to be dropped off in the afternoon/evening and picked up by 4am the next morning. I offer to come pick up your pet and take you to the airport and you can leave your car at your home. They will have free run of the house and will be taken on frequent walks. Bull Run Park is near the property that has miles of trails and a creek nearby and if they like to swim. I will follow your instructions, walking times, feeding time, medication etc. I don't have cameras in my home but I will take pictures and videos of your pet every day and send them to you so that you know they are happy and healthy. It's important that they are not aggressive, and are cat/dog/people friendly. The safety and welfare of your pet is my #1 priority. I do insist on a meet and greet prior to drop off to see if they are ok with this environment. This will help them get comfortable being here with you and I find this reduces their stress during drop off.
“Henry was great with Tucker! We needed a last minute sit and he was happy to accommodate. Life saver! He made sure that Tucker was comfortable and cared for. He kept us updated throughout the day - pictures and all - and was flexible on pickup time. I’m very happy to have found Henry for a day of daycare play.”
“Kristi-Ann, Andrew and their pup Loki were so welcoming of my crazy mutt! They took him in like one of their own and have a great dog-friendly setup. Thanks for having him on a hot day—he had way more fun than staying at home!”
“Heather was amazing! She was super accommodating and took such great care of my fur baby while I was away. I could tell my pup was happy and well-loved the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with her 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've owned dogs most of my life!. From newborns to seniors with different needs. I love their unique, resilient, playful and grateful personalities. Through the years I've helped mommas during labor, cared for newborn puppies (2 with cleft palate), cared for my sweet girl during her last weeks with cancer, I've cared for a wonderful blind dog over the years (I still do! He is a Poodle❤️), I've rescued a stray dog without knowing she was pregnant and took care of her and then made sure her puppies went to good homes. Having their company is like chocolate to my soul! Then unfortunately my son developed a dog allergy when he was little :( so we couldn't have a dog but lately he is been getting better allowing him to be around "hypoallergenic" dogs. This why we would love to care for your hypoallergenic doggies. 👩🙎♂️🙋♀️I am a stay at home mom who enjoys the company of dogs specially when my preteen and teen are in school. I'm ready to spoil them and go for walks or running with them. Once they get home they like to play with the pups and get to know their personalities. 🏡Our townhouse has a high fenced patio. The neighborhood has a dog park if that's what they like. Our area is quiet and safe to walk around. Starbucks is close by in case they are allowed a pup cup ;)
“Sadie has separation anxiety and was very apprehensive going into Veronica's home. Veronica took her time introducing Sadie to other small dogs in her care and let us know she was doing well with them. We will definitely use Veronica's services again.”
“This was the first time we used Jim for dogsitting in his house. My dog seemed to enjoy her stay with Jim, and Jim sent me pictures throughout the day with updates on how she was doing. I feel comfortable using Jim again.”
“Fantastic! I love how responsive and flexible are Dorrie and her family, I can tell they treat my dog as if it was one of their pets, and is reassuring. Tango and their pet became friends almost immediately which is a bonus!”
About: I have currently have 2 dogs which I adore so much! I love playing with dogs and love spending time with then and other dogs in my neighborhood on my free time. I will ensure your dog feels at home and will take care of them as if they were my own. I currently work from home full time along with my fiancé. I wake up early to walk my dogs in the Morning before all my work calls and will take them out again usually at noon after my last call. I also have a third person (my mom who’s retired) that is free all day that watches the dogs when I’m in my office. The dogs usually are free to roam around the house and there’s usually a person on all 3 floors. I have a fenced back yard that the dogs can play if they like. I also have a large crate in my basement as well. There are at least 2 people at home most of the day that will watch the dogs play. I am very attentive when I dog watch and will play with the dogs and/or walk them on my free time.
“Cindy has been so kind and welcoming since the first time we met her. She takes great care of our Lab, Wesley, and we know he will always have a great day with her and Bella. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for being responsive and reliable!”
“My dog, Aspen, had a great day with Michelle and doggy friends. I rarely leave Aspen with sitters but she was so happy when I picked her up and napped the entire way home. Michelle was great about sending updates throughout the day. We’ll be going back!”
“Fritz always has the best time with ManYee and Hannah. It’s a good feeling to see him run to the elevator with her, not even looking back. And I always know he’s in the best care possible!”
“Wyatt is great! Our dog is very very picky about people but she instantly loved Wyatt! He gave us lots of updates and some pictures, and it seemed like our pup really enjoyed her doggy day care time. We will definitely book again!”
“We were SUPER pleased with Saroj as a sitter for our pup! Her house and grounds are BEAUTIFUL and she and her husband were lovely, kind people. If you are looking for a superb and safe place for your pets, book with Saroj! PS: IKEA is very near Saroj's house!”

“Sonia is so patient and loving with our anxious pup! She went out of her way to make our dog Jane feel more comfortable with her during her first walk, and has since become a safe person in Jane’s eyes! Sonia is a great communicator and always goes above and beyond. We are very grateful!”
“Hannah is absolutely awesome! I booked her for a week to care for King, and she was incredibly timely, engaging, and focused on his needs every single day. She provided detailed notes after each visit, sent wonderful photos during their walks, and even left a sweet, handwritten thank-you note at the end of the booking. To top it off, when another walker had a last-minute transportation emergency this morning, I contacted Hannah, and she went completely out of her way to come out and help us on short notice. She is always responsive, highly professional, and truly cares about King. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“David has done an excellent job with Zelda this week. She looks forward to his arrival and is excited to go for a walk with him. We appreciate his care with Zelda and his flexibility with his time.”
“Our dog normally is apprehensive around new people, and it usually takes him a while to warm up and feel comfortable. This just wasn't the case with Gabi, he took to her immediately! Gabi seems to have a genuine understanding and affection for animals, which seems to have made all of the difference for our dog. Words can't do justice to how grateful we are to have someone we trust help care for our boy!”

“Emily was SUPER patient with us and was amazing with our pups! Our pups aren’t the easiest to walk but she was super kind and accommodating. Can’t wait to use her again!”
“Our family booked Jenesis because we had an off month of work schedules and she was able to go above and beyond for us. Jenesis was incredible with our two large pups. She was so patient with them on days they had extra wiggles and she was an excellent communicator with my family. She took them on long walks everyday and they both got much better on leash because of Jenesis. If we ever need a dog walker again we will absolutely be reaching out to her and suggest you all do the same! I cannot say enough good things about Jenesis! Maple and Raja love you!”
“Ms Brianna has helped me since day one! I was worried about moving and finding someone to take care of my puppers but she came through and started communicating with me before my move to reassure me he would be taken care of. I’m so thankful for her and so is Mr. Puppers.”
“Melianna was great! During our first meeting with her and our pups. They seemed to warm up and got along right away! She sent us updates and reached out if she had any questions. Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve never been without pets in my life. I have been taking care of (feeding, walking, etc.) them since I was a little kid! I’ve helped with cats, dogs, and bunnies. All of our pets were raised from babies and cared for until they passed away. I’ve given sick pets pills and other medications. I know how important it is for pets to get exercise and enrichment! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule! I have my own transportation with a reliable vehicle and can swing by for a quick visit or plan a longer stay to care for your pet! I can adjust to your environment! I am a traveler and have moved around so I understand apartment living and family-style homes and how that can affect pet care. I can feed, walk, and play with your pet no matter what that looks like.
About: I have taken care of animals for most of my life in a way that makes the animal and owner comfortable, happy, and meets their needs. I have another job that I work for and my hours vary but I am still able to see the animal(s) at many times if needed. I have more availability during the summer time. If I am spending an afternoon in a clients home, I will find one spot to sit in and let the animals approach me. I'll make myself available, and show them I am here to care for them. I believe in earning their trust.
“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”

We feel so lucky to have found them to take care of our girl!”
