“Having to leave your dog is tough but when you leave them with a family like this one, your mind is instantly put at ease! They loved on our girl like she was family and sent us picture updates every day!!! We will 100% book with them again!”
“Rebekah did a wonderful job! I would highly recommend her. She was very thoughtful and attentive to my little dog, who is never been boarded anywhere. She did a great job!”
“Nathan was great with our Peny and Rocky. Awesome communication. Also, Peny needed medicine applied twice a day for a skin condition and Nathan didn’t have any qualms with applying it and her skin is doing so much better now. I would have no worries leaving my pups with him again. I call them pups but they are both over ten years old. But they both are still my babies to me.”
“Nova had another great stay with Dana! I loved that she continued to send lots of pictures and videos. She always ensures that Nova is comfortable and shows her so much love. Nova can’t wait to stay with her again!”
“Our Duke can be a little high maintenance, but Tanine took him in and made him feel comfortable during his stay. Tanine, her kids, and the other dogs were all great to him. He seemed to really enjoy his stay. Thanks!!!”
“Jocelin and Christian did an exceptional job caring for our pups. Jocelin shared pictures daily and made extra effort to give them the exercise our high energy young ones need. I highly recommend Jocelin for boarding your dogs.”
“We always have the best experience with Kathryn! She took care of our girl so well and kept us updated consistently while we were away. Cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Hank came home exhausted which means he had a blast. Cynthia did a great job in every Dept from communication to updates throughout the weekend. We were extremely pleased with her work.”
“This was our pups second stay with Amber and she was once again incredible. Our dog seems so happy and loves his stays with her. We feel so lucky to have someone we trust ❤️”
“Our old pup absolutely loves staying with Julie’s family. She takes wonderful care of him, navigating his picky eating and various joint medications. He comes home so tired - from both the outdoor time and the social interactions, I am sure. I trust Julie completely with his care and will continue to use her for our dog sitting needs as long as she will have us.”
“Fantastic experience, Jennifer’s frequent updates and pictures allowed us to be able to relax and enjoy our vacation. Her dog Charlotte and our puppy played well together. Our puppy keeps asking to go back. Totally will use Jennifer again, and highly recommend her.”
“Katina did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. We felt at ease with her photo and message updates. Pizza looked like he had a blast with her doggos and we hope that they’ll get to hang again in the future!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our sweet goldendoodle, Farley! Heather went above and beyond, caring for our old boy better than we could have ever imagined. She kept us updated with tons of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Farley was clearly loved, pampered, and treated like family. We will definitely be booking with Heather again—she’s the best!”
“This experience was amazing! My doggies came home sooo happy and got so much outside play time. She was so sweet and responsive. I hope to have the opportunity to use her for our next trip.”
“If you're anything like me and hate leaving your furry family member for any amount of time, let me just say there are NO worries while in Charity's care! She is PHENOMENAL and the communication is top notch. We've had experiences in the past boarding our dog Janey that weren't pleasant so we were worried about this trip, but Charity treated her as her own and the daily updates with photos were extremely comforting. If you need an AMAZING sitter then Charity is the one! You won't be disappointed!!!”
“My pups always have an amazing time! They get daily play, correction and guidance with time to relax! Many just let dogs play for hours. Charissa really knows how to manage the kids to be great fur babies! Ashton & sis Macy have spent last 7 days. Ash goes to day care at least once a week. Highly recommend, if you want the best behaved pup, to complete some specialized training with her! From overnight training to a few classes! The “mom” in me wants to just snuggle but Charissa’s tips and time spent has paid off for us! We are regulars of 3 years now and appreciate Poindexter Park so much! Thanks also to Alex for your great stories and support!”
“Stephanie was wonderful! Took care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures throughout her stay. She looked happy and well taken care of the entire time! Would definitely book with Stephanie again”

“Katie took great care of our two cats! She was able to take us on last minute and was super flexible which we really appreciated. She administered medication to both our pets and kept us well updated, with super cute pictures! Thank you!”
About: I’ve had many animals since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, small animals, farm animals you name it. Which makes me very experienced in all types of care, dogs especially. I’ve handled dogs of all kinds; senior, puppies, timid, energetic etc. I work a part time job right in the town of orange and I am not scheduled any longer than six hours at a time. Although my work schedule is indefinite meaning I don’t work the same days or hours every week. To find out my availability simply message me and i’ll be more than happy to get back to you! I do not offer boarding at my home as I already have two dogs of my own and it would be a stress on my family to have additional pets.
“Ashley is the best person you can have caring for your babies. She went above and beyond for an entire week for my various pets, which included poultry- even in bad weather! I am so grateful to her and highly recommend her for any pets you have.”
“As always Brandi is amazing and so very sweet. We feel 100% comfortable leaving our fur and feather babies with her and are able to fully relax while away knowing they are being loved and cared for. So very thankful to have found her ❤❤”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I give every dog. I focus on trust, safety, routine, and affection, treating each pet like family—not just a booking. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule, as I have two dogs of my own who are in a routine. This will allow me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship without rushing or distractions throughout the day. I have two friendly pups of my own who will keep your pups comfortable. I will provide a calm, safe, and structured environment. I will follow their routines while providing supervision, affection, and a relaxed environment.
“We are so happy to have Kimberly care for our cats! She communicated with us daily through the Rover app and sent beautiful pictures. We could see that our cats were happy and well cared for!”
About: I started my journey with dogs 4 years ago and have not looked back enjoying every moment since. I am a certified trainer who loves improving the relationship between human and dog. We have a dog yard plus 5 acres. All dogs stay in our extra bedroom, which is now considered the dog room. I personally have two dogs, a cattle dog and a husky mix. They are both very social with all other dogs. We like to have a good time here but I keep a very safe environment for the dogs, no fighting or picking on one another. NO DOG IS TURNED AWAY. If you think your dog is aggressive, I can and will evaluate them so that if possible, we will get them socializing with their own kind and having a great time. Thanks, have a good day! I train dogs for a living so I stay at my house 7 days a week besides when I work with clients and those lessons tend to run about an hour but no more than 2 hours! I have 9 years experience running my own kennel and have two dogs with a large fence so there will be no boredom here! I do prefer to kennel dogs for the night but as we get comfortable with each other they will start to earn more freedom! Pet care is my full time job and i wouldn’t have it any other way, it has been a blessing. I hope I can help make your schedule less stressful! While you’re away, let your dogs play! I have a five foot fenced in dog yard specifically for dogs. We also have another 5 acres that we will walk all client dogs on during their stay with us.-
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and provided medications when needed including pills, eye drops, and shots! I also am flexible to what your pet’s routine already is! I’m home for summers from college (Go Dukes) and I’ve always loved animals, so pet-sitting is my only job over this time! I’m available all days throughout the week! When you’re vacationing in the summer I will look after your pets and give you peace of mind with pictures I take of them and I always leave your house looking like I was never even there!
About: As the daughter of a pet-sitting business owner and veterinary technician, I’ve been caring for animals from an early age. With over 10 years of experience working alongside my mother and in veterinary offices across Northern Virginia, I’ve learned that every pet is unique and deserves individualized care. Before moving back to Northern Virginia in 2023, I also owned a successful pet-sitting business in St. Croix, USVI. My own pets have taught me a lot as well—my pit mix, Bella, survived both a fighting-breed environment and Hurricane Maria, and my two rescue bassets struggled with separation anxiety, as well as our Moluccan cockatoo we raised from a nestling. Those experiences reinforced the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency. I’m a non-smoker, organized, and detail-oriented. I’m also available for last-minute needs and those holiday plans that sometimes run longer than expected. Above all, I take this work seriously and will care for your pet with the same love I give my own. 🐾🖤 Working mainly from home allows me the flexibility to plan my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. In my home or a client’s, I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest, while giving them plenty of love and attention to keep them comfortable. We can work on learning new tricks and reinforcing obedience training.
“I love that they have bird experience! That is definitely a plus as far as I'm concerned. A little frustrated that we came home to 13 piles of cat poop throughout our house, bird seed thrown in with our recycling, and a bag of cat food busted open/all over the floor in the kitchen. If it wasn't for all that, I would have given a 5 star rating.”

“Nathan was great to work with! Super friendly, professional, and quick to respond. This was our first time using him so we could enjoy a relaxing lake day, and we're so glad we found him. Our pup seemed to have a great time, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again soon!”

About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds—from cats and dogs to birds, bunnies, and even livestock. I grew up working alongside an equine veterinarian and have spent years collaborating closely with small animal vets, giving me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether your pet needs meds, special care, or just a little extra love, I specialize in supporting animals with medical needs and take pride in being calm, compassionate, and highly attentive. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a lifelong animal caregiver who treats every pet like family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it's midday walks, medication schedules, or just extra snuggles, I’m consistently present and available to keep your pets happy and stress-free. My routine is built around their needs—because their comfort and well-being come first. 🐾 In my home, pets enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of supervised playtime. My own friendly dogs are always happy to welcome new furry friends, but if your pet prefers one-on-one attention, I can provide a quiet, relaxed space just for them. I tailor the experience to match each pet’s personality and comfort level—whether they love to socialize or just want a calm companion.
“Courtney took great care of my little pup =) She sent me an update while I was away with pictures and I think they both had a great time ;-) I will be using Courtney again in the future when I am traveling in her direction.”

About: My name is Charne! I used to have an English black lab who became my service baby and was the sweetest boy on this planet. I always knew I wanted to work with animals growing up. Weather that was rescuing them or just sharing my love with them!! I am certified for wildlife animal rescue as well. I am very active and would love to do outdoor/indoor fun activities with your pets!! I am experienced in special care for pets like medication, injections, wound care, etc. Animals are life and without them where would our hearts be! I’ve always had pets from the age of 0 until now! Growing up I was raised with three dogs, two cats, and always two birds! My parents always told me you can tell a lot about a person on how they treat animals!! I currently live with my Fiancé and we rescued our pup Zeppelin from an abusive home 5 years ago. He has now grown to realize that love does exist, kisses are always wanted, and the couch/bed is the most comfortable place on earth!! He has severe allergies so I have experience in prepping a raw diet to fit his allergy needs! We also have a cat named Sage. She’s my baby and our snuggles are my favorite part of the day! I’d love to share my love & care with other furry friends!! I currently own my own silversmithing business and make jewelry full-time, in my home and on my schedule so my availability is completely open!!! 🥰 I follow instructions to the T!! I understand that every pet has their own individual needs & requirements and those need to be met in order to keep them happy, by sticking to their known schedule! I unfortunately do not allow in home pet setting at my house as our dog was a rescue and we are still not comfortable him being around other animals for longer than an hour as his patience can run out. For the safety of our pets, I’m more than happy to pet sit in your home!! I have years of experience with different pups, volunteering at rescues and rescuing animals myself, so their safety and care will always be my top priority! Also giving unlimited love :))
About: I can take care of all kinds of animals not just domestic. I have pet-sit chickens and rabbits before. I love spending time with animals. I take care of my own animals daily. I have three dogs and four cats that I give care to every day and spend time with. I walk the dogs, play with them outside, spend time with housecats, feed, take care of litter, groom them. I don't just take care of the animals, I spend time with them.
About: I have always had dogs and/cats in my life since a very young age. Dog sat for family members for weeks or months at a time. Assisted with a friend getting a service dog for two weeks. One of the best and most eye opening experiences. I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to play, walk, and interact with your dogs or cats! I also travel a bit for work so I am available to do several different counties and areas. I can easily crate your dog or cat if it is needed. I am great with dogs on a leash and will let them run free if your yard is fenced in. I think it is so important for you animals to get some energy out and have a great time playing outside or inside.

About: I have been pet sitting and house sitting for 1+ days at a time for about 11 years. I treat every home with respect and all pets as my own. I love bonding with and meeting new animals! Each family I've sat for has called me back to sit for them again! Additionally, I have met many new doggos when babysitting in new family's homes. I always treat the pets just as well as the kiddos, giving them lots of love and behind the ear scratches. My family has always had dogs and I've loved dogs of all breeds since I was a little girl. I am a full time speech-language pathologist during the school year, but have flexibility in my schedule and I’m working from home half of the week. I am available for am/pm/afternoon drop in/walk visits and some weekends depending on location and dates. In your home I am comfortable and confident in my abilities taking your dogs out for walks on leashes, or leaving them out in the backyard to get some movement. I can stay and play for a while as needed to give them attention. I have a loving pit-mix at home. If our dogs got along we could potentially plan on having your pet come stay with us for a week/weekend! Additionally, we do have enough space (2 level home), a crate, and a fenced in yard so we can accommodate having another dog who does not get along with other dogs.

About: I was raised with dogs (shelties, primarily) and now have a hobby farm with goats, dogs (german shepherds, a lab and a sheltie), ducks and a cat. I'm reliable and friendly and happy to follow whatever instruction and routine you need. Your pets will be well cared for and you'll receive plenty of photo updates while you're gone! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate nearly any routine your pet is used to, including frequent walks and potty breaks. I will work with you to keep your pet's schedule as close to what they are used to as possible. If boarding in my home, we have a fenced yard, plenty of area to go on leashed walks, and they will get plenty of one on one attention and care. I'm happy to do transport or add in a bath during your pet's stay so your life can be as simple as possible while you're trying to get out the door for your trip. Pet care is my full time job and priority. I can adapt as needed to make sure your pet keeps the routine they are comfortable with, even when you aren’t home. I will ask questions and take notes on your pets’ routine and then do my best to ensure that those habits are in place with me.

Therefore, I am able to take care of animals of different species, especially since I have cared for animals since I was young!

“Nathan was great with our Peny and Rocky. Awesome communication. Also, Peny needed medicine applied twice a day for a skin condition and Nathan didn’t have any qualms with applying it and her skin is doing so much better now. I would have no worries leaving my pups with him again. I call them pups but they are both over ten years old. But they both are still my babies to me.”
“Nova had another great stay with Dana! I loved that she continued to send lots of pictures and videos. She always ensures that Nova is comfortable and shows her so much love. Nova can’t wait to stay with her again!”
“Our Duke can be a little high maintenance, but Tanine took him in and made him feel comfortable during his stay. Tanine, her kids, and the other dogs were all great to him. He seemed to really enjoy his stay. Thanks!!!”
“Jocelin and Christian did an exceptional job caring for our pups. Jocelin shared pictures daily and made extra effort to give them the exercise our high energy young ones need. I highly recommend Jocelin for boarding your dogs.”
“Hank came home exhausted which means he had a blast. Cynthia did a great job in every Dept from communication to updates throughout the weekend. We were extremely pleased with her work.”
“Our old pup absolutely loves staying with Julie’s family. She takes wonderful care of him, navigating his picky eating and various joint medications. He comes home so tired - from both the outdoor time and the social interactions, I am sure. I trust Julie completely with his care and will continue to use her for our dog sitting needs as long as she will have us.”
“Fantastic experience, Jennifer’s frequent updates and pictures allowed us to be able to relax and enjoy our vacation. Her dog Charlotte and our puppy played well together. Our puppy keeps asking to go back. Totally will use Jennifer again, and highly recommend her.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our sweet goldendoodle, Farley! Heather went above and beyond, caring for our old boy better than we could have ever imagined. She kept us updated with tons of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Farley was clearly loved, pampered, and treated like family. We will definitely be booking with Heather again—she’s the best!”
“This experience was amazing! My doggies came home sooo happy and got so much outside play time. She was so sweet and responsive. I hope to have the opportunity to use her for our next trip.”
“If you're anything like me and hate leaving your furry family member for any amount of time, let me just say there are NO worries while in Charity's care! She is PHENOMENAL and the communication is top notch. We've had experiences in the past boarding our dog Janey that weren't pleasant so we were worried about this trip, but Charity treated her as her own and the daily updates with photos were extremely comforting. If you need an AMAZING sitter then Charity is the one! You won't be disappointed!!!”
“My pups always have an amazing time! They get daily play, correction and guidance with time to relax! Many just let dogs play for hours. Charissa really knows how to manage the kids to be great fur babies! Ashton & sis Macy have spent last 7 days. Ash goes to day care at least once a week. Highly recommend, if you want the best behaved pup, to complete some specialized training with her! From overnight training to a few classes! The “mom” in me wants to just snuggle but Charissa’s tips and time spent has paid off for us! We are regulars of 3 years now and appreciate Poindexter Park so much! Thanks also to Alex for your great stories and support!”
“So helpful, my booking was last minute and i greatly appreciate Whitney being able to watch my pups for me. My dogs were so warm out from playing so much at her house. Will definitely keep her at the top of my list!”
“Paige was amazing with my dog Maggie! She had so much fun with Paige’s dogs and I loved getting regular photo and video updates. Maggie came home happy and tired from all the playtime. Thank you, Paige!”
“Lina and her family did an amazing job! Our blue heeler is high energy and needy for attention, and they managed to actually meet his incessant demands for belly rubs and playing fetch. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“We could not be happier with Heather’s care for our dog Bailey. We were nervous to leave him with a stranger because in his 5 years of life, he has only stayed with family. Heather was so kind to let us do a meet and greet a few days beforehand and I could tell immediately that Bailey would be happy. We were away for 8 days and I so appreciated the photos and communication she provided daily. We could tell her entire family gave him attention and he apparently made some good dog friends. We hope Bailey is welcome back because Heather will be the first person I call! Highly recommend”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Joey and his canine employees! She was comfortable right away, and Joey's video posts allowed us to see how much fun she was having. We look forward to booking with Joey again.”
“We had to find someone at the last minute to watch our German Shepherd. As soon as we Meet Andrea and her family we felt good. Huge backyard with lots of water bowls. A loving family and Dexter loved the dogs and attention. Andrea sent me videos and updates. She also gave him a bath and cut his nails. I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE!!!”
