“This was the second time I have trusted Amber to board my dog for several days. She is a great sitter, Amber sends pictures and notes every day. I would choose her again.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care our pup received with Julie. We got tons of pictures and videos and updates, and I never once worried about how well he was being taken care of. Julie was extremely responsive and always quick to answer any questions I had. We'll absolutely be bringing our pup back!”
“GG’s funny farm was amazing as always! I forgot to provide a slow feeder bowl, but luckily Heather had an extra one that Nova could use during her stay. Nova got lots of exercise and had a ton of fun. I also appreciate how organized and clean the dogs’ space is! I always feel great leaving Nova here because it’s like her home away from home 😊”
“Audree is amazing! She’s kept our Chocolate Lab a few times for overnight stays. During each visit, Audree keeps us updated and shares photos throughout the stay. She really cares about the overall health and wellness of each pet and seems to personalize care per your pet’s needs. She’s amazing.”
“The BEST! We were hoping to find someone who cared for our little guy like we do and we found her. Linda and her family are amazing and deserve 6 stars. We will be using Linda's boarding services many, many more times!”
“Traci was amazing and wonderful! I am so glad to have found her. She sent me photos and updates and made me feel comfortable about leaving my baby with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend to everyone.”
“This was my second time booking with Matisa, and once again she did an amazing job caring for my dog! She was communicative throughout the stay and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy and well cared for, and it was obvious she was in good hands. It’s clear that Matisa genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I always feel confident leaving my dog with her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Laurie took excellent care of our dogs and sent us videos and pictures of them playing with her other canine guests. We recommend her highly and hope we will get to use Laurie again in the future. The dogs had a much better experience with her than the local kennel prison we were using. Thanks Laurie!”
“I have 2 dogs that are polar opposites; one that is fearful and cautions, and the other one very social and goofy. We felt very comfortable leaving them with Karla, she gave them the time needed to acclimate and warm up, and they had a blast! We also appreciated the constant pictures and updates as to how they were doing and getting along. Thank you Karla for taking such great care of our Basil + Cashew!”
“Yara loved staying overnight at Connie’s house. Connie is so responsive to text messages. She takes very good care of our dog and spends time with her. We enjoy seeing all the pictures she sends. It is a relief to know our dog is loved and taken care of while we are away. We will continue to use Connie for all our dog sitting needs. She is amazing!”
“Phinneaus LOVES spending time with Tiffany and her family! Whenever we arrive at her home, he literally pulls me up the stairs and straight to the door because he knows where he’s at. She takes care of my boy like he’s one of her own.”
“Rosalina and her family are incredible. Roscoe was well cared for and so happy. Rosalina sent me pictures throughout the stay and she even bathed Roscoe before I picked him up because he got dirty playing outside. Highly recommend (and I am a very nervous dog mom).”
“Tracey was AMAZING with my boy Jack. She sent pictures & updates daily, which I and my kids loved. She took him on multiple walks and a dog park daily. He came home and didn't move because he was so wore out. I really enjoyed her open communication. I will definitely be using Tracey in the future for Jack's boarding needs!”
“Jim is an amazing pet care giver! I have used him many times and will continue to do so if he is available during the times I need. He is engaged in the care of all dogs and keep the owners informed each day. He is a highly recommended sitter!! Thank you Jim! 🤩”
“Roman & Rebecca were great. I had to make a few adjustments to the booking and they were very understanding about the situation. I will definitely book again”
“We had an exceptional experience with GL ROYALTIES! From the moment we dropped off our dogs, it was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. They treated our dog like family, providing excellent care, attention, and a safe, loving environment. Knowing our Rotties were in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication truly set them apart. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring environment . We will absolutely be using their services again and again. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our furry babies!”
“Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care our 2 furry family members, Ziggy & Bella received from Addy and the entire family. From the moment we met, it was clear Ziggy & Bella were in loving and capable hands. Addy went above and beyond, ensuring they were not just fed and walked, but truly cherished. Daily updates and photos provided peace of mind while we were away. We returned to happy, healthy fur babies. We cannot recommend Addy highly enough and will undoubtedly be booking again!”
“Another great stay with Dana! Dana really goes above and beyond with the care and updates and it is such an ease of kind knowing you don’t have to worry about your pet while you’re away.”

About: I’ve had my cat for three years, and I love everything about caring for cats — from playtime and cuddles to keeping their space clean and comfortable.

“Elizabeth was great! I loved her notes and pictures! She was very communicative and always let me know when she was coming over! I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Husband and I had to leave town for a week to take care of family. We had two cats that needed to stay home. Liv was great with our boys! We could tell she really cares about them and took the time to give them some love on her visits. Also appreciated that she was available on short notice, even to include a holiday weekend. I would highly recommend her and hope she can cat sit for us again someday.”
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”
“Laurie has been so good with Toulouse. We just moved into the area and were a little concerned about taking a vacation so soon. Laurie’s reports on how Toulouse has been adjusting to being alone have eased our minds.”
“Matisa U was very friendly and took extreme care of our fur baby. She communicated well and sent pictures of Hazel during our time away from her. I feel that Hazel had a great time and enjoyed herself. I would definitely recommend Matisa to to my family and friends and will definitely return to her for her services. Thank you!”

My youngest pup is very well trained, we take him just about everywhere when we have the chance.
“Mandi took such great care of our cats that I think they were disappointed when we came through the front door when we got home instead of Mandi dropping in for one of her visits! We received great updates and pictures at every visit and felt so much better knowing that all was well while we were out of town. Mandi spent extra time to make sure everybody was happy and clearly connected well with them. We would love to have her cat sit again.”
“Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.”
“Bethany took excellent care of my dogs! She was able to effortlessly take care of each dogs’ particular needs and was very accommodating of all their special instructions. She was also very communicative and punctual. I would absolutely recommend Bethany and plan to use her again in the future!”

“Linda and her family took wonderful care of Navi! I received many cute pictures and videos of Navi having fun with the family. Navi had a great time and enjoyed her stay. Linda was also very flexible with her schedule which I very much appreciated. Looking forward to the next time, thank you so much!”
“Laurie was great. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone that my dogs didn’t know, and I was so worried, but Laurie sent me pictures and videos that they were playing and enjoying each other and Laurie’s dog got a perfect long with both my dogs.”
“Tiffany was an absolute delight to book with!! From the very beginning, she was very prompt in her responses and answered any questions that I had. I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus! She also communicated throughout the day with updates and cute photos of my fur baby so I knew he was safe and well taken care of. If I could, I would give her 10/5 stars! I definitely plan to book with her again in the near future! Thanks again Tiffany!”
“My pup had an amazing day with Audree. Her tail was wagging when she left. It was so nice to see the pictures throughout the day and then see my pup’s face at pick up - confirming her enjoyment.

“This was Shelby’s second time with Matisa and her family, and we will be back! Shelby even recognized Matisa’s house when we arrived and was very wiggly before we went inside. It was good for her to interact with other dogs too.”

It is a relief to know our dog is loved and taken care of while we are away. We will continue to use Connie for all our dog sitting needs. She is amazing!”
“Rosalina and her family are incredible. Roscoe was well cared for and so happy. Rosalina sent me pictures throughout the stay and she even bathed Roscoe before I picked him up because he got dirty playing outside. Highly recommend (and I am a very nervous dog mom).”
“Tracey was AMAZING with my boy Jack. She sent pictures & updates daily, which I and my kids loved. She took him on multiple walks and a dog park daily. He came home and didn't move because he was so wore out. I really enjoyed her open communication. I will definitely be using Tracey in the future for Jack's boarding needs!”
“Jim is an amazing pet care giver! I have used him many times and will continue to do so if he is available during the times I need. He is engaged in the care of all dogs and keep the owners informed each day. He is a highly recommended sitter!! Thank you Jim! 🤩”
“We had an exceptional experience with GL ROYALTIES! From the moment we dropped off our dogs, it was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. They treated our dog like family, providing excellent care, attention, and a safe, loving environment. Knowing our Rotties were in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication truly set them apart. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring environment . We will absolutely be using their services again and again. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our furry babies!”
“Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care our 2 furry family members, Ziggy & Bella received from Addy and the entire family. From the moment we met, it was clear Ziggy & Bella were in loving and capable hands. Addy went above and beyond, ensuring they were not just fed and walked, but truly cherished. Daily updates and photos provided peace of mind while we were away. We returned to happy, healthy fur babies. We cannot recommend Addy highly enough and will undoubtedly be booking again!”
“Another great stay with Dana! Dana really goes above and beyond with the care and updates and it is such an ease of kind knowing you don’t have to worry about your pet while you’re away.”
“Once again Cori made me feel really good about leaving my pups in her care. She’s a doll to work with. As if one quirky bull terrier isn’t enough, how about adding a 1 y/o bull terrier and leaving both for 2 weeks? Cori had her hands full but dealt with the issues the young one caused (regression potty training issues, territorial issues, etc). As always, very communicative and understanding about the young one (we figured out that since Pixie was newly rescued, that she must’ve been confused about yet another home she’d been shuffled off to and that was probably the source of the angst). Bodie wasn’t neglected or ignored in this. He may have even gotten to sleep in a human bed… 😂 We don’t have any trips planned any time soon but Cori’s still top of my list (if she’ll have Pixie again!) when I need someone.”
“Leslie is guaranteed the best sitter within the DMV area. She has transformed her home into a dog’s luxury resort, complete with total attentiveness, ultimate amenities, and activities that a dog could only dream of. In addition to all of that, her communications are fantastic and Cash is always so excited to arrive at Ms. Leslie’s and never ready to leave. I’ve never had such peace of mind leaving Cash if/when I have to be out of town.”
“Jenn took exceptional care of our puppy, Ginger. This was Ginger’s first time away from family and staying with Jenn was a wonderful experience. She was so caring and took the time to send pictures and updates. Ginger was able to spend time outdoors and playing. We are so appreciative and will definitely be back.”
“Rachel was wonderful! She took excellent care of Daisy and sent pictures and brief updates everyday to let us know our pup was doing great! Communication was friendly and thorough. We would absolutely book with Rachel again! Thanks!!!”
“Erica was fantastic! 🌟 This was our first time ever boarding our 3 1/2 year-old sheltie, so we weren’t sure how well he would do. We checked out two local kennels, and they were not a good fit for him as he was very scared. So we looked into dog sitters in a home environment. I met with Erica before the booking and she put my mind at ease. When we got him back he slept most of the rest of the day since he had so much fun playing with all the dogs! He was well cared for and we will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much ❤️ 🩵”
