“Thank you Karen for taking such amazing care of Bandit over the holidays! Knowing my pup was in such loving and capable hands gave me peace of mind while I was away. The updates, attention to detail, and genuine care you provided were above and beyond. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Leslie is simply the best. She provides top quality care for our sweet pup. She stays in communication with us and sends updates during our dog’s stay as needed. Her knowledge of small dogs and their unique needs is an added bonus. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter.”
“It’s telling when your dog is just as excited to see the sitter as they are to see you return. Kendall took great care of our reactive pit bull mix, who’s also terrified of thunderstorms and fireworks. Unfortunately, Bear’s stay was during fireworks and storm season, but Kendall managed her anxiety well and kept us regularly updated. We’d be happy to have her watch Bear for future trips too.”
“Thank you Andrew so much for looking out for Slim. Andrew and his family were caring and loving while taking care of my little guy. I will definitely trust him with your pet any day! Thank you again!”
About: I've had a dog in my home my entire life, and am always the one my friends/family turn to if they need someone to look after their pets. I have also fostered multiple dogs with leash reactivity, and have had some 1-1 work with an R+ (positive reinforcement) trainer to ensure pups can have the best experience out and about in the world while still getting their sniffs and exercise in. I occasionally run outside so I can offer to run with your pup(s) 1-2 times a week if you'd like, and I live 5 minutes away from Baron Cameron park if you like for them to play with other pups during the day at a dog park as well. Or of course we can just snuggle most of the day while I work from home. Well either way there will be lots of snuggles and pets... My last dog passed away in 2025 after a year long battle with cancer, so I have no problem giving medicine and making sure we stay on a strict schedule with food/medicine if that is what your dog needs. I look forward to becoming your pup's new best friend! I work part-time from home. I'm available for day-sitting while you're at work or overnight boarding when you're out of town. I'm typically up by 7:30, have a fenced in backyard, go on walks/runs throughout the day and love going to the dog park if your pup enjoys it! I have a 6 foot fence in my backyard that your pup can play around in. Take 2-3 x 25 minute walks around the neighborhood throughout the day and can occasionally go for 30-60 minute jogs if your pup enjoys more exercise (1-2/week)
“Our dog Bonnie is sensitive and she usually gets nervous when she goes to new places. However, when we met Jennifer for the first time, she immediately started to explore Jennifer's living room, and she seemed very relaxed. When we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave for a while. That says she had a great time in Jennifer's place. Thank you very much, Jennifer and her family!”
“Kirin was wonderful with my dog, Kya. He watched her twice for several days each while I was visiting family. He was easy to communicate with and was really attentive to Kya’s high energy nature and puppy tendencies (I’m sure his two goldens helped with that too 🤣). I was able to relax and enjoy my travels, knowing she was in good hands.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jill and Sean were great with our dog Harley. Harley loved her time there and it was great having Sean and Jill keep us updated on how Harley was doing during her stay. They both sent pictures daily which was always welcome as our kids loved seeing some of the things Harley was up to while she was away from us. We definitley will be looking forward to Harley staying with Jill snd Sean for future trips.”
“I'm so glad I found Amethyst ☺️ she was wonderful with my dog Q. She sent me regular photos of Q (I don't know how she made my dog sit still and be such a good model for photos haha but she managed well!) and updates and always made sure his needs were met. And she was also very flexible and accommodating about last minute changes I had to do cause another sitter canceled. But it's all good, since I was able to book with Amethyst ☺️ My Q had a really great time with her! Thank you! 10/10 recommended her 👌”
“I can’t recommend Heather enough! From the very beginning, they were reliable, professional, and truly caring with my dog. They took the time to understand my pup’s routine, quirks, and favorite activities, and I could tell right away that my dog was in the best hands. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for every single day. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy who genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond. I will definitely be booking with Heather again and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a dependable and loving dog sitter.”
About: “I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’ve personally raised three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive—I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands.” “I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for evening visits, as well as overnight care. Weekends are wide open for more flexible scheduling, whether your pet needs extra attention, longer walks, or extended stays.” “I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks, and I keep a clean, calm environment in the home. I’m also experienced with administering medications if needed. I know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention and care. I make sure they feel relaxed and at home, with plenty of time for play, rest, and affection.”
“My dog Finn stayed with Catherine for the weekend and she was absolutely the best! She was super communicative and made sure everything went smoothly. He has the best time! Would definitely recommend.”
“Carla took care of Millie when we went on vacation. She and her family were so kind and Millie most definitely had a great time (maybe even better than us). During our trip, she sent constant pictures of Millie that made us so happy! Millie will definitely be returning!”

“I seriously cannot imagine anyone who does a better job. She is professional, cheery, accommodating, and very sweet to my kitty cats. Not only did she clean the litter box each visit, but she also vacuumed, and gave my cats a lot of attention. I will definitely be working with her again.”
“Jennifer was a wonderful pet sitter for Zuzu. She came on time, spent a lot of time playing with her and fed her special food as requested. Highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely use her again!”
“Carolyn took wonderful care of our 2 kitties while we did a long weekend trip. She provided a brief summary daily along with photos each day! She followed the instructions perfectly and everything went smoothly. Our kitties enjoyed getting to see her every day and we loved getting the updates each day while we were gone. On top of that, she quickly responded to my messages leading up to her scheduled visits. Thank you so much, Carolyn! I will be checking if you’re available whenever we go out of town!”
“Asher provided consistent updates and reached out with questions to ensure my cat was well taken care of. It was very comforting while I was traveling internationally for 10 days. I would absolutely love to book again with Asher in the future.”
“Christine did a great job taking care of my cat! She provided updates and pictures even though my cat stayed hidden (he's a bit of a shy guy). Would definitely use her to keep an eye on things again!”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities since I was young, helping neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, litter care, playtime, and companionship. I’m attentive to each cat’s unique needs—whether that’s giving space to shy cats or engaging playful ones. I respect your home, follow instructions carefully, and provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Maeghan was a reliable cat sitter for our two cats. She showed up as scheduled, made sure they were fed and cared for, and kept things tidy while we were away. Communication was simple and responsive. Overall, we appreciated having someone dependable to look after them.”
“Michiru was great and Cali took to her well! She was very thorough with Cali’s dietary needs and I was thankful that I was able to find her when I needed a cat sitter last minute. If you are looking for a cat sitter, don’t hesitate to book with her because you will not be disappointed!”
“I’ve used rover multiple times and I can confidently say Jake is my new go-to! My cat is my whole world and I felt so relaxed being away knowing that Jake was taking excellent care of him. Jake would send photos and updates throughout the day so I never once had to wonder how things were going because I could see how comfortable and well taken care of he was. Jake was extremely responsive, if I had any questions or updates to provide him. I cannot recommend Jake enough!! I already have him booked for my next trip!”
“Keara was awesome! She kept me updated everyday with lots of photos and detailed log. I was so happy I left my two fur babies with Keara and if I go out of town again I’ll definitely ask her again 🥰✨🙏🏻”
“Laura has been amazing to work with! She was so kind and attentive to our cat while we were away for the holidays. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Laura went above and beyond to make sure our cat felt loved and cared for while we were gone.”
“Leah, thanks so much for taking good care of my cat, Bagheera! I appreciate the photos and updates. Thanks also for doing your best to clean when she vomited- I know that was an extra hassle.”
“Nicole is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter; I trust her implicitly with my boys because she is so invested in their care and happiness. Wouldn’t choose anyone else to take care of them!”
“Sara did an amazing job with our cats! She took care of their needs and was able to keep them company while we were gone. We were amazed at how much our cats like Sara, they are not the most social towards new people. We were very impressed and will be using Sara again!”
“Ed is awesome! We needed someone to look in on our cat Troubles a couple times a week while we were out of town for an extended period of time. Ed exceeded our expectations. He kept us posted with plenty of pictures and updates, and made sure Troubles and his domain were comfortable, clean, and happy. We are so grateful to Ed for the peace of mind he provided us while we were away. We highly recommend his services!”
“Shauna was great with our 2 cats. She was willing to show up twice a day to give Max his medication which is hard to find. They were well taken care of and healthy and happy when we got back.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and dog-sat and cared for many different dogs over the years. I will treat your pup like family. They will feel secure and safe and get a lot of attention and affection. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule between 8-5. In addition to a great walk, your fur-baby gets cuddles, play time, and loads of love. Your dog will never be left unattended or alone in a yard. In my house, your dog can sleep in the bed if they like (and you OK it). My own dog is a 9 year old trained therapy dog. She is calm, sweet, and gets along with all dogs both big and small, chill or playful. She'll be happy to share her home. I use positive reinforcement only.

“LaurieBeth did such a wonderful job with my pup, Mocha! I dropped off Mocha for doggy day care for the first time and I so appreciated the photo updates to see how she was doing. LaurieBeth was very communicative and Mocha enjoyed her stay. We already can't wait for the next visit!”
“Kiran was great with my rambunctious puppy! He sent regular updates and was really kind when my puppy had an accident. His dogs are really sweet as well so it’s a plus that he got to get his energy out with the big dogs.”
“Jennifer hosted our dog for doggy daycare. He had an absolute blast and became best friends with her and her lovely dog Sunny. Jennifer sent cute pictures and great, detailed updates. Our dog can’t wait to return!”
About: hello future clients, Dogs have always captured my heart, even before I could walk! My family raised a variety of dog breeds throughout my childhood, and as soon as I started high school, I got my own furry friend! I'm glad to make new doggo pals and often watch dogs for families and friends in the DMV region while they're away! My schedule is fully flexible because I work from home as my own business owner! I would be pleased to pay your fur baby a visit whenever it works best for their schedule. Also, I have a puppers of my own. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood, with walking trails and dog parks. where your dog can run, make friends and play in a safe controlled environment. I will happy send you picture and video updates of your sweet doggo! I also am happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions and give them treats while I'm there!
“It was my first time dropping of my 14 week old Samoyed and I was so nervous! Tom is wonderful and very accommodating with the drop off/pick up times. More importantly, Enzo was a very happy camper and enjoyed his stay with Tom. Will definitely ask Tom to watch Enzo again!”
“Captain blueberry had an amazing day at Carla's! She got along so well with her dog and loved her family. The outdoor space and the walks. Thank you so much for being good to her, it absolutely made my day so easy, and I am so thrilled to see how happy she was there!”
About: I provide thoughtful, home-based care for dogs who thrive in a calm and structured environment. As a work-from-home sitter, I’m able to give consistent attention, supervision, and a steady routine throughout the day. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety. What sets me apart is that I keep things intentionally small and controlled. I take the time to understand each dog’s needs, and prioritize a low-stress experience with plenty of outdoor time, gentle structure, and a secure fenced yard. I also require a meet-and-greet to ensure the right fit, so every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after.I keep my care intentionally small so each dog gets consistent attention and a calm environment. Doggy care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am able to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day.Dogs in my care are part of a calm, structured routine that includes regular outdoor time in my fenced yard, walks on nearby trails ( My fenced backyard opens directly to walking trails for easy access to outdoor time and walks) along with plenty of time to rest and relax indoors. I build my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure they get a good balance of activity, attention, and downtime. On a weekly basis, I keep things predictable and low-stress, which helps dogs settle in comfortably. I’m mindful about not overbooking, so each dog receives the time and attention they need without feeling overwhelmed. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, their care and routine remain consistent so they feel safe and at ease... When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow each dog’s feeding schedule, potty routine, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Dogs have regular access to my fenced yard for bathroom breaks and outdoor time, along with walks on nearby trails depending on their energy level. Inside the home, dogs are given a calm space to relax and are never left unsupervised for long periods since I work from home. I introduce dogs thoughtfully and only take on a small number at a time to maintain a safe and low-stress environment. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall comfort, and I communicate with owners if anything seems off. My goal is to make their stay feel predictable, safe, and as close to their home routine as possible.
“I had a great experience! Kaylyn and Naman accommodated my last minute booking and took great care of my dogs. I’ll definitely be booking with them in the future!”
“Karen took great care of my pup! I appreciated the multiple photo updates throughout his stay and Karen’s responsiveness. I picked up a tired and happy pup. Will definitely book with Karen again!”
“Renee is wonderful in this. This is the first day care experience for our puppy and Renee is very patient to deal with the nipping and teething as well. Our puppy had a great time and glued with her little one. Renee sent pictures and gave updates how she was doing throughout. Will definitely recommend and send our puppy again to Renee for daycare.”

“Kelsey is an awesome host! My pup had such a good time running around and playing with her dog that it was hard to get her to leave at pickup time! Kelsey also took them out on a walk and had plenty of space for them to have fun and play.”
“Sarah was amazing! Not only did she respond so quickly but I also contacted her last minute after our pet sitter canceled and she was available! She took the best care of Meeko and he had so much fun making new friends. She was so kind, friendly and prompt with responding. If you are ever in the area, Sarah is your girl!!♥️”

“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”
About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I'm an animal lover of all personalities and sizes. I grew up with cats and currently have a senior fur baby, Pickles, who won't leave my side. I also volunteer by fostering kittens through Wolf Trap Animal Rescue. While in college I lived with multiple dogs throughout the years and helped with their daily care and dog walking. I also volunteered at the SPCA and took dogs out for the day to better acclimate them to people and new environments in order to help them get adopted. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just simply a companion while you're gone, I'm happy to help! I'm responsible, communicative, and have a flexible work schedule. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and provide them with safe and loving care. I currently work full time with a flexible schedule, working partly in the office and partly remote. My schedule changes frequently where no day is the same, providing lots of flexibility and ability to adjust based off whatever your needs are. I have been around cats and dogs my whole life and know what it takes to gain their trust and take care of them like they are my own! I am comfortable in new environments with new pets and have been a neighborhood pet sitter for over 10 years.
“Christine is the best! She is responsive, communicative and gives nice long walks. My dog is always happy to see her. I feel confident that my sweet pooch is cared for with Christine. I Highly recommend her.”

“Deb is amazing! Shes been walking my dog, Bryce, for the last few weeks. She’s very responsive to messages, sends updates and pictures, and most importantly she takes great care of my dog while they’re on their walks.”
“Vinnie takes great care of my pups. He always sends pictures while walking my dogs, and is attentive and knowledgeable about the care of my dogs. I trust him 100% with Gemma and Forest.”
About: I am a life-long pet owner, with a loving cat. I see pets as important members of our families. Their safety and care is my first priority. Previously, I volunteered regularly with Little Buddies Adoption and Humane Society. I since worked at Olde Towne Pet Resort as a pet care associate, and later moved to work with their corporate office. I have a soft spot for shy pets, who need a bit of time and care to feel safe. I am certified in Pet Nutrition through the UC Davis Veterinary program at the University of California, from my time working at PetValu. AVAILABILITY My hours are flexible. I will strive to work around your schedule. MEDICATIONS I have experience helping sick cats, including through oral medication, insulin shots and subcutaneous fluids. If your pet is people-shy, I would love to take the time to get to know them and let them feel safe around me before administering any medications. DOG WALKING I love dogs in all shapes, sizes and temperaments, but have relatively limited experience compared to my extensive work with cats. If you are looking for care for a dog with aggressive tendencies, I would recommend looking for a different sitter. I am currently job searching and pursuing a security + cert. I schedule my job searching and studying around my cat sitting hours, which affords some flexibility. I exclusively care for pets in my clients' homes, as my own cat needs a safe, solo environment. I am respectful of the space, and will spend my time devoted to your particular pets needs (whether that's play, affection, or just side by side coexisting).
“Tom and Cynthia have been extremely helpful when we’ve needed a last minute dog walker. Tom is fast at responding, which I appreciate. I can tell he takes good care of our dog :)”
“Jennifer has been walking our dog Leo on a regular Tuesday/Thursday schedule (mornings and afternoons), and she’s been fantastic. She’s extremely dependable and always communicates well in advance if there’s ever a schedule change. I feel completely comfortable having her care for Leo. What really stands out is how attentive she is — when Leo got sick, Jennifer noticed right away and alerted me immediately so I could get him to the vet. That kind of attentiveness and care goes well beyond just walking the dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog walker!”
“Shauna is great! She walks our (very energetic) dog weekly. She is responsive, flexible and always on time. Our dog (Kyla) is skid-dish with new people but she warmed up to Shauna very quickly and is always excited to see her. Kyla comes back from her walks happy and tired - well worth it!”
About: Growing up with pets, I learned how to care for them at a very young age. Whether it’s feeding, snuggling, walking, or playtime, I love caring for furry friends! I’m a college student home for the summer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available for morning walks, mid day check-ins, and nighttime snuggles. I always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, no matter where they are. I’m great at following instructions and solving problems when they occur.
“Carole was great! Arrived on time, my dog was excited to see her and they had a good wander around the neighborhood. She took time with him during the meet and greet to get to know him as he can be anxious. All went well. Plan to book reoccurring walks with Carole!”

“It’s telling when your dog is just as excited to see the sitter as they are to see you return. Kendall took great care of our reactive pit bull mix, who’s also terrified of thunderstorms and fireworks. Unfortunately, Bear’s stay was during fireworks and storm season, but Kendall managed her anxiety well and kept us regularly updated. We’d be happy to have her watch Bear for future trips too.”
“Thank you Andrew so much for looking out for Slim. Andrew and his family were caring and loving while taking care of my little guy. I will definitely trust him with your pet any day! Thank you again!”

“Our dog Bonnie is sensitive and she usually gets nervous when she goes to new places. However, when we met Jennifer for the first time, she immediately started to explore Jennifer's living room, and she seemed very relaxed. When we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave for a while. That says she had a great time in Jennifer's place. Thank you very much, Jennifer and her family!”
“Kirin was wonderful with my dog, Kya. He watched her twice for several days each while I was visiting family. He was easy to communicate with and was really attentive to Kya’s high energy nature and puppy tendencies (I’m sure his two goldens helped with that too 🤣). I was able to relax and enjoy my travels, knowing she was in good hands.”
“Jill and Sean were great with our dog Harley. Harley loved her time there and it was great having Sean and Jill keep us updated on how Harley was doing during her stay. They both sent pictures daily which was always welcome as our kids loved seeing some of the things Harley was up to while she was away from us. We definitley will be looking forward to Harley staying with Jill snd Sean for future trips.”
“I'm so glad I found Amethyst ☺️ she was wonderful with my dog Q. She sent me regular photos of Q (I don't know how she made my dog sit still and be such a good model for photos haha but she managed well!) and updates and always made sure his needs were met. And she was also very flexible and accommodating about last minute changes I had to do cause another sitter canceled. But it's all good, since I was able to book with Amethyst ☺️ My Q had a really great time with her! Thank you! 10/10 recommended her 👌”
About: “I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’ve personally raised three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive—I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands.” “I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for evening visits, as well as overnight care. Weekends are wide open for more flexible scheduling, whether your pet needs extra attention, longer walks, or extended stays.” “I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks, and I keep a clean, calm environment in the home. I’m also experienced with administering medications if needed. I know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention and care. I make sure they feel relaxed and at home, with plenty of time for play, rest, and affection.”
“Carla took care of Millie when we went on vacation. She and her family were so kind and Millie most definitely had a great time (maybe even better than us). During our trip, she sent constant pictures of Millie that made us so happy! Millie will definitely be returning!”
“This is our second time booking with Carl, and he did an amazing job caring for our cat, Kirby! Carl is extremely attentive and communicative and we highly recommend his services!”
About: I am on a short career break while waiting for a clearance to come through to start my new job. Looking to fill my days with some furry friends while I wait! I have always been a dog lover and have lots of experience with doodles specifically but love all dogs. I have one pup (Lulu, 2 yr old 35lb mini Bernedoodle) that loves everyone and everything. Currently between jobs and at home most of the day! I am up and at it early during the week either on runs or at the gym. I have a small fenced in yard and live a few steps from 3 of the Reston trail entrances! I am very active and love to go on walks with my dog.
“Thank you for taking care of Flash. Was definitely a new experience for him as a switch from a previous caretaker - this experience was awesome for Flash - an experience to interact with Arjun, play Fetch and in the process to even get trained and get Flash used to the atmosphere so quickly 🙏 This was a great exposure and I am confident enough to keep my Flash in a responsble family 🙏”
“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.”
“Kaylyn and Naman are great pet sitters! I highly recommend them. They took great care of our dog Alli, she was very happy and relaxed with them! They were attentive to her every need and always made sure she had walks and outside time. Alli had an eye problem and they took really excellent care of her. I would definitely trust your pets with them, they’re great!”
“Gilbert and Robin were great with Peach! They provided pictures and videos throughout her stay and it looked like she was having the best time. We will definitely be using their services in the future!”
“Candice did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was communicative throughout the booking, pre-arrival, during care, and through pick up. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We will definitely use her again!”
“Nandini took excellent care of Rolex and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos, videos, and messages, which really helped us feel connected and reassured that he was happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Hokie had a great stay with Shi and his dog Jealous! Shi texted me with pictures and videos regularly and consistently let me know how Hokie was doing. Shi was a great caretaker and Hokie will definitely be back again!”
