“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”

“We had a positive experience with our sitter, Byamba. Though we had a tricky situation with one of our dogs initially (Mulan), Byamba truly went above and beyond to help us find a better arrangement for her. It wasn’t easy, but he handled it with patience and care. For the remainder of the stay, he took wonderful care of our other dog, Juke. We really appreciate his efforts, his updates, and his great photos! We’d be happy to book with Byamba again in the future for Juke. Overall, we’re very satisfied and grateful for his dedication!”

“Christine watched Miso for the first time for a night so I could celebrate my birthday. Communication was great before and during my dog's time there. I appreciated Christine being flexible with my inconsistent plans for pick up and drop off. I also very much appreciated that Miso was returned to me tired from playing so much hahaha... Was able to have a calm day after lots of celebrating!”

“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Andy was great. He sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. He took my pup for plenty of walks and made sure she was comfortable in his home. I would be happy to have my dog stay with him again.”

“Jose took great care of our dog. He was incredibly responsive and sent daily photos which was very helpful since our little dog was staying with him for the first time. We will definitely call on Jose to sit for our dog again!”

“Lina is a responsible caregiver who looked after my dog with so much love and care. She frequently updated me on my dog’s status and sent plenty of photos of my dog happily playing in the yard.”

About: I offer a calm, attentive, and personalized care experience for both cats and dogs in the Tysons, McLean, and Great Falls area. With over 6 years of combined experience, I take time to understand each pet’s rhythm — from gentle brushing and quiet companionship to playful moments and frequent photo updates. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets and give them lots of love and attention. On weekends, I love being outdoors—if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along for some fun and fresh air! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, keep the environment safe and clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular photo updates so you always feel connected. I occasionally offer boarding at my home for small dogs and cats who can peacefully coexist with my friendly resident cat. I do slow, careful introductions to ensure a stress-free stay. Please note that I do not board large dogs.
“Our second time booking with Jorge & Alejandra, they are wonderful! Took such great care of our pup, she got more playtime with them than she ever gets at home! Will definitely book with them again.”

“Sush looked after our mini Goldendoodle for 10 days while we were out of the country. She was incredibly communicative and responsive, often sending photos and giving us updates along the way. We were happy to know our dog had a large backyard and other dogs to keep him company. We’ll definitely use Sush again on our next trip!”

“Had a second experience with Mee Jong and like the first time, our Dog Penny thoroughly enjoyed her stay. This time however, we had also booked overnight boarding for Penny’s little brother Dozer. Mee Jong was able to care for both Penny and our new Puppy seamlessly. With the message updates and pictures provided by Mee Jong throughout their stay, we remained rest assured that they were in capable and caring hands.”

“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”

“Kerstyn took great care of our pup Jane! We received daily updates plus photos. Jane also loved playing with Freya! One thing we appreciated was Kerstyn’s patience with Jane, who is slightly anxious and needs a little time to get used to new situations.”

“Evan and his wife stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Kobi for the weekend - and not only did they agree, but they were so enthusiastic it felt like I was doing them a favor and not the other way around! Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”

“Ellie took wonderful care of my little Bella. I had such peace of mind knowing that my geriatric dog was being pampered and loved every second that I was away, with lots of photos to prove it. She even made homemade snacks for Bella in line with her preferred diet!”

“This is Kobe’s 2nd time boarding with Kevin and his family! Wonderful hosts, Kobe almost didn’t want to leave and went back in the house to say goodbye :). Will definitely book with Kevin again!”

“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!”

“Rae was amazing! Rae went above and beyond all our expectations! Rae sent multiple photos and videos daily documenting their adventures. Nimbu's days were filled with lots of exercise, games, and hugs. Thank you Rae! Would definitely book again!”

“Jie Z, took care of our have any havanes me Poodle for three weeks over the holidays. She absolutely loves small dogs and we could not have been happier . Pepper had plenty of place to have fun in her beautiful place and she sent us lovely pictures of him having a blast. She is also very responsive to emails. She took wonderful care of our dog and we highly recommend her services. We will definitely send our dog again when we travel . Caroline”

“Our experience with Erin was wonderful. She really knows how to care for your dog like her own and I could tell my dog Luna had a great time staying with her. She was very communicative and gave updates/pictures through Luna’s stay. Def would go with Erin again!”

“Sara was such a gem with my cat Amir. He fell in love with her during their initial meeting and she left great check in reports on him during her daily visits. I truly appreciate the care and love shown to Amir and will definitely reach out to her again for cat sitting services.”

“Kayly was a kitten magnet. He was comfortable with her instantly. She cared for my kitten with love and care. She followed my instructions well, including giving him his pills. We will book her again!”

“Amanda was wonderful with our two cats!! She is a great communicator providing updates and photos everyday. We would book her again and recommend her to any one!”


“Elise stopped in to watch our two cats, and we were all delighted with her care and communication. She was proactive about questions and accommodating to our scheduling needs. I enjoyed her updates and felt confident that my cats were being well-cared for.”

“Tricia was perfect! She really went above and beyond to take good care of my cats while I was away. I didn’t worry about them once while I was gone, which is honestly a first for me. I hope to always be able to book her in the future!”


“Barb, The Relief Every Pet Owner Needs Over the years, I grew increasingly scared to leave my 3 cats in a stranger's care. If needed I always drove them to my parents but it became clear that the roadtrip stressed them out more than if I had just left them at home and had a stranger come by the house. As a 1st time Rover user, Barb was a perfect find! She made the whole process unbelievably breezy. She very punctual to the meet and greet she set up the same day I sent my request. I ran her through the cat's litter and feeding schedule and already felt good about her. Immediately after this meet and greet, she sent me a screenshot of the notes she took afterwards which were notes on the food/water/litter instructions we had discussed for the brief meet. This really sealed it for me; not only did Barb exhibit great memory recall but also great attention to detail which is certainly needed in pet care. I had Barb check in twice a day for my 3 cats for a total of 9 days. She is very punctual to the times discussed and an expert with sending photos of furry loved ones to ease anxieties. She also made sure I was made aware of any event that occurred immediately in the Rover Card for that very check-in time. When responding to her or asking her questions she was quick and attentive with her responses. One of my cats loves to escape and is a bit of a "queen of the house" type of cat so she gets a bit protective of "her home" and after giving Barb some tips and tricks in what we do, my cat became calmer and more accepting of Barb as more check-ins occurred. They grew closer towards the end which is a testament of Barb's personality and care qualities. My other 2 cats are shy ones so there was a worry that we wouldn't be able to confirm if they were eating or not. But eventually Barb's calm and gentle presence coaxed them out enough to be spotted for a food grab or a hydration stop every now and then. Overall, having Barb as a first time Rover sitter and first time pet sitter was a perfect match and I feel lucky to have had her watching over my pets.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m currently a live-in nanny, and I also care for the family’s dogs. When their owners are away, the dogs stay with me and even sleep in my room so they feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time as a live-in nanny, which allows me some flexibility for pet care. However, I do have a busy schedule with regular dog-walking clients, so availability can vary. Please message me first to confirm scheduling before booking. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs if I have an open time slot. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special requirements provided by the owner.
“Teodora is absolutely the best! She really took great care of our cats while we were away and I had a wonderful vacation knowing that she was taking care of them. She also visited with our mother and listened to her stories, which speaks volumes about a person's character. Teodora loves animals and some of my feral cats let her get close to them. That also says a lot about a person when a feral cat lets them in! She is a hard worker and my mother enjoyed all the conversations they had when she came to take care of them. There is nothing Teodora will not do for your beloved pets. I highly recommend her because she is the best and will hire her whenever I need someone caring and loving to take care of my babies! We all, cats included, just adore Teodora! We are so lucky and blessed to have found her!”

“Jessi did an amazing job watching our cat for an extended trip. She checked in often and left the house clean and cared for. She even cleaned up a very big mess our cat left and gave us constant updates. I felt very comfortable leaving our cat with Jessi and won’t hesitate to use her again in the future.”

“Sai stayed in our home and cat-sat our attention-addicted cat for 12 days. During this time, he gave our girl a lot of love, made sure she had all her needs met, and was responsive to any messages we sent him. Sai is trustworthy and professional. We would absolutely ask him to cat-sit for us again!”

“Aislyn was great! She updated us regularly and sent us pictures to let us know how our boys were doing. It is clear that she is an animal lover and both of our boys were well cared for while we were away.”


“Youyou was a fantastic pet sitter for us. From the initial inquiry, she was responsive and in tune with what pet parents look for. Our two little boys were in such great hands and they enjoyed her visits very much. The reports and pictures we received were perfect! She’s def an animal lover and knows how to care for them. We are looking forward working with her again!”

“Byamba is absolutely fantastic! I have two high-energy dogs, and he handles them with ease. He’s incredibly communicative, always keeping me updated, and I never have to worry when they’re in his care. It’s clear that he’s trustworthy and genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs—mine get so excited every time they see him! I highly recommend Byamba to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Our experience with Juan was excellent. He spent quality time with our cat, Simba, ensuring he was fed on schedule, the litter box was kept clean, and Simba got plenty of playtime. He was very flexible with our expectations and extremely attentive. His regular updates, along with photos and videos, gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.”

“I recommend Loreen to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! She made my dog extremely comfortable and was able to accommodate to our last minute time changes. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Tofu the next time I’m out of town!”

“Daisy enjoyed her 5-hour stay with Rae yesterday. They went for two walks together, which Daisy loved. Rae was very conscientious and asked questions to be sure that Daisy would be comfortable and happy during her stay. I recommend Rae if you are looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”

“We booked Grace for a very last-minute daycare session, and we couldn’t be more grateful that we found her. Our dog Miso is quite sensitive and anxious, so we’re always cautious about new caregivers—but she seemed incredibly comfortable with Grace right away. She has such a calming, kind energy, and it was no surprise to hear that Miso adjusted so well and felt at ease in her care. Knowing she was safe, relaxed, and well looked after gave us so much peace of mind. We’re truly grateful for Grace’s care and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with dogs who need a gentle and patient sitter. 🐾💛”

“Jason and Becky were very communicative the whole day! Echo seemed to be having a blast in every picture and she came home a happy, tired pup. Plus, Mocha and Tako are sweethearts and I'm glad Echo has excellent role models when she stays with Jason and Becky. Definitely will be booking again!”

“We are so grateful for the wonderful care you gave our pet Aki. Even though we were much later than expected in picking him up, you were incredibly kind and understanding. Thank you so much for your patience and generosity — it truly means a lot to us. Aki was clearly well taken care of and happy. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!””

“Rio loved spending the day with Jose Luis! I received regular text and picture updates, and Jose Luis was always quick to respond to messages. Definitely recommend!”

“Overall had a positive experience with Sush. She was accommodating and communicative. Above all, my pup has a great time there and I can feel at ease knowing he is loved there. We will be back soon.”

About: I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them! We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice I live in an apartment with ample walking nearby. Super dog friendly neighborhood. We have space to set up crates if needed. I am a neat person and will clean up after myself and the dogs.
“Grateful for Cathy for being so flexible and helping to take care of my crazy Ranger! She is very sweet, showed concern, and I appreciate the insights and observations she made throughout his stay.”

About: I’ve had my dog since she was 8 weeks old, so I’m used to everything from puppy zoomies and picky eating phases to keeping up with routines, walks, playtime, and bath days. I’m most experienced with medium to large dogs (30–50 lbs), and I honestly love bigger dogs with big personalities. I only take one pet at a time because I like giving them my full attention, whether that’s long walks, throwing a ball 20 times in a row, belly rubs on the couch, or just keeping them company so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also love to travel, so I know what it feels like to leave your pet at someone else’s home, and I’ll care for them the same way I’d want someone to care for my own dog. I work part-time as pharmacist! So on my days off your pet will have my full attention instead of just being “fit into” my schedule. I like keeping dogs company throughout the day, making time for walks, playtime, and sticking to the routine they’re used to at home. I live in an apartment with my dog, Cheeki, who’s very used to being around people and other dogs. I make sure pets get plenty of walks, outdoor time, attention, and play throughout the day depending on their energy level and routine. I only take one client’s pet at a time so I can keep the environment calm, safe, and comfortable for everyone.

About: I have lovingly taken care of dogs & cats for over 30 years, both mine & those belonging to friends, family & neighbors. From an early age I learned that all animals need love and compassion, and this taught me to always responsibly care for our family & friends' pets. Since then my passion for animals has taken me on a career path as a global wildlife & nature conservationist & photographer. Any chance I get to walk, visit, play with, and care for a pet brings me immense joy. I know how hard it is to leave your pet for a trip or even just for the day to go to work, my commitment to you is that your pet will receive tons of attention, affection and exercise and you can feel 100% at ease. I am available day/evenings during the week and flexible throughout the day/night on weekends. I will make every effort to fit your schedule. I currently work from home, giving me plenty of time and a broad range of flexibility to visit, walk, and care for your pets. Hopefully your pooch can help me get some of my daily 13,000 steps in! I like to send daily updates and photos giving you peace of mind that your kitty or pooch are happy and taken care of, eliminating any worries you may have regarding your pet during your time away. I'm excited about the chance to meet you and your fur baby! When I visit your pet, I hold myself to the highest standard from the moment I enter your home and greet your pet, as if it was my own home and my own pet. I will strive to leave your home in the same, or better, condition than it was at the beginning of my visit or stay. Once I've followed all instructions provided by you (food, water, litter, toys, meds, etc.), your pet is going to get plenty of affection, playtime, and exercise to keep them fed, happy and well-rested until my next visit (or your return). Let me know your pet’s preferences! High energy dog? Let’s go for a long walk or a run! More of a lap dog? Let's read or watch a movie and I’ll make sure we get in some quality cuddle time. Maybe it’s that time of year and your fur baby is shedding everywhere - let me help with the brushing!

“Joon was great with Luna, who is a very sweet but timid dog especially since this was her first time being walked by someone else without my presence. Joon was calm, confident, and caring and I will 100% use him again.”

About: I’ve been a passionate animal lover since birth! I’ve raised my two rescue cats, Milo and Mila, and my pug Max since I was 14. I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter every summer from 2014 onwards, and have been a trusted dog-sitter/walker around my neighborhoods then also. I am very active and willing to take care of and walk with the more younger energetic pets or stay and give company to the lovely older ones as well. I believe patience, love, and care is the most important for all animals and nothing brings more joy to me other than seeing animals smile :). I am a recent college graduate of NYU currently still in the job hunt. My schedule is completely flexible and available for you and your pets’ best needs. I am available as early as 8:00 AM and as late as 6:00 PM. I am available for most NOVA areas as well and I do same-day appointment walks, but would prefer a couple hours notice, thank you!

I am very active and schedule oriented, walking my own dog twice a day with set feeding times in the morning to maintain consistency. I care for animals with the utmost care and concern with extreme attention for detail for all specific needs for each animal!

“On his visit, our senior dog was not feeling well, Brenna was patient with him to keep him accompanied. On the other visits, he took him out for nice walks. He is good at communicating the situations, provides updates and sends a lot of photos. We are happy to find him to care for our senior dog on the regular basis.”

“Jiafan has been absolutely wonderful walking our dog! She treats our dog like her own and we can tell she really loves animals. She always leaves a little note after our walk, and we really appreciate that!”

“Suphaphattra responded to us very quickly to walk our 55-lb lab mix on short-notice and did everything we hoped she would do! We would very happily use her services again - thank you Evie!”

“Roshni was such a great dog walker for my beagle, Willie! She was very friendly and very quick to respond from the time of booking through the week of the appointment. Your dog will be in great hands with Roshni.”

About: I’ve been around pets for a majority of my life! I’ve have had a mini golden doodle (Bella) for 8 years and introduced our cat (Silvia) 3 years ago. A little passion of mine is teaching my dog little tricks, and I really enjoy getting to understand animals in general. I’ve fostered dogs for short periods, dog sat, dog walked, and have babysat for 6 years. I love caring for others and providing your pets with a comfortable environment, one you trust. I work 9-3 (sometimes 9-5) coaching kids tennis camps during the weekdays and am available during the weekends. On work days I can walk or drop-in in the mornings before I head out and first thing when I’m done, then later in the evening before bed. I’m happy to dog sit in the pets home any day, I would just be leaving early morning if it’s a weekend. I focus on keeping their routine consistent by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, giving them attention and enrichment, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I respect your home and your pets individual needs. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures to give you peace of mind that your pet is taken care of.
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”

About: I've grown up with a Bullmastiff and later a Retriever. So I know my way around bigger and heavier dogs as well as more active and energetic ones. I am looking forward to apply those experiences to sitting and walking your four-legged companions with the similar dedication. In addition, we’ve recently lost our Charlie (my golden retriever) and would love to spend time with your pets to try to fill in that gap. But we are in the process of getting a new golden puppy, so puppy requests are welcome as well!

About: I’m a pre-vet student who just graduated from UVA and has grown up with two large dogs! I’ve also recently owned a hamster from a college lab! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family including puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I also have about 100 hours of dog walking experience from a shelter so I am comfortable with reactive/fearful/energetic dogs, and another 100 from shadowing at a vet practice. I am currently looking for a vet assistant job so my schedule is open 7 days a week! I am used to all day pet sitting. I always make sure that I understand the instructions that I’m given and maintain clear communication with the owner if I have any questions. I never make any assumptions and always make sure that the owner is comfortable with any decisions that need to be made.
About: We would love to take care of your small hypo-allergenic dog for you while you are away. Our shih-tzu, Snuffy, is great with other dogs and has plenty of toys to share. Your dog will enjoy a minimum of two longer walks per day and two additional shorter potty breaks. We will text you photos of your dogs in action or lounging. Your dog will not be left alone for long. I work mostly from home. I have two boys, ages 15 and 18 who are very responsible and help with the care of your dog. Our dog sleeps wherever he wants, and so can your dog. We have a fenced in backyard, but we supervise the dogs while they are in the backyard because we have a pool. We have four of us living and working at home who are available to feed, walk, and entertain your dog. We feed the dogs in the morning and in the evening. We have tons of dog toys and a fenced in back yard for potty breaks. Since we already have two dogs, our home is dog proof. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and our dogs share their toys. We send pictures every day with updates.

“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”

“We had a positive experience with our sitter, Byamba. Though we had a tricky situation with one of our dogs initially (Mulan), Byamba truly went above and beyond to help us find a better arrangement for her. It wasn’t easy, but he handled it with patience and care. For the remainder of the stay, he took wonderful care of our other dog, Juke. We really appreciate his efforts, his updates, and his great photos! We’d be happy to book with Byamba again in the future for Juke. Overall, we’re very satisfied and grateful for his dedication!”

“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Kerstyn took great care of our pup Jane! We received daily updates plus photos. Jane also loved playing with Freya! One thing we appreciated was Kerstyn’s patience with Jane, who is slightly anxious and needs a little time to get used to new situations.”

“Evan and his wife stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Kobi for the weekend - and not only did they agree, but they were so enthusiastic it felt like I was doing them a favor and not the other way around! Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”

“This is Kobe’s 2nd time boarding with Kevin and his family! Wonderful hosts, Kobe almost didn’t want to leave and went back in the house to say goodbye :). Will definitely book with Kevin again!”

“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!”

“Our experience with Erin was wonderful. She really knows how to care for your dog like her own and I could tell my dog Luna had a great time staying with her. She was very communicative and gave updates/pictures through Luna’s stay. Def would go with Erin again!”

“John was an amazing sitter for our golden while we were away on an international trip for a week. He sent tons of photos of Kobe on his numerous walks and trips to the dog park. We will definitely book with John again!”

“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”

“Cathy was very responsible taking care of our dog. She followed all of our instructions for our dog and kept us informed every day on how he was doing. She sent pictures and videos of our dog and spent a lot of time playing with him and walking him. She is a caring pet sitter. We would definitely use her again in the future!”

“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!”

“Lee Ann and her family took wonderful care of Roxie. She sent frequently updates and pictures throughout the day so I knew that Roxie was in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Lee Ann and plan on using her again in the future. Thanks again!”

“Loreen and her kids were amazing with my 7 month old Samoyed! Her house was a perfect place to let Sasha run around and I really appreciated all the picture updates. Will definitely use her again when I need to go out of town!”

“Shaela did a great job caring for Astro on his 10 day stay with her and her pup, Luna. She was patient with his finnicky eating habits and tried her best to get him to eat. Luna and Astro coexisted peacefully during the stay, with no issues reported. Shaela sent a couple of photos and provided updates every couple of days. The neighborhood is busier than what Astro is accustomed to which scared him, but he eventually grew comfortable. I would leave Astro with Shaela and Luna again!”

“Alexis and Andrew took care of our dog, Hazel, over Thanksgiving and were amazing. They were kind enough to do a meet-and-greet beforehand and sent updates and pictures every day that we were away. Their family made Hazel feel right at home and we would recommend them 100%!!!”

“My Irish doodle Bentley loved staying with Shuyu and Eric! We received frequent updates and lots of pictures while we were away. Would definitely book again and highly recommend :)”


“Helen and Nathan watched Smokey for a week and were very responsive and sweet! They sent me multiple pictures and videos everyday and were very quick with responding to any of my messages. Their dog, Daphne was a perfect friend to Smokey and he seemed like he had a great time with them! I even left Smokey’s brush and they were kind enough to drop it off at my place. Highly recommend them!”

“Bridgid took great care of our dog and was super easy to work with. She was understanding and flexible with a last minute booking, sent periodic pictures and updates, and we were comfortable knowing our dog was getting personal care like she would at home. We will definitely have Poppy stay with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
