“Lina had a wonderful stay, she is a rescue from the Humane Society and Denise and her husband took extra time to make her feel safe and comfortable. I received daily updates and pictures. I will 100 % use them again and highly recommend Denise!”

“Michelle took such good care of our baby. She sent pics, reassuring us he was in good hands. Michelle treated Jax like her own pet. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby.”

“Ashley had a great home and perfect back yard! Even accommodated to my spoiled dogs who sleep in the bed. Our dogs got along well and I was not worried one bit when they were in her care. She sent lots of photos. I am relieved to know I have a got to person next time I’m out of town. Rockstar Ashley!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”


“Leo had an amazing time with Melissa and her family. She had her dogs which kept him busy and happy as he loves to play with others and he got plenty of cuddles. We did a meet and greet with the pups a week before the boarding to ensure wveryone got along well and i could already tell leo was in great hands and Melissa even assured me there would always be someone there just in case. The pictures Melissa sent as we were gone made me happy to see that he was getting spoiled and was having great naps and playtime. She updated me daily and ensured Leo was fed exactly what was needed and we would definitely love to have Leo come "sleepover" again.”

“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”

“Jennifer and her family were absolutely amazing to work with and took great care of my dog. Her updates were above and beyond and I can tell my puppy have a fabulous weekend. Definitely plan to book with her again.”


“Erin was great. I could tell that Bonsai had a great time when I picked her up and from the photos I received during her stay with Erin. The meet and greet was great with Bonsai and Erin's dogs as well. The communication with Erin definitely a win with how everything was going.”

“This was our first time boarding our dog. We appreciated Megan's personality and her warm family. Diesel seemed super happy in every photo. We will definitely be using her again.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I cannot believe our luck in finding Christianna! Our 8 year old Boston Terrier, Watson, had an amazing time and was in great hands during his 10 day stay. He went on field trips, spent ample time supervised outside, had plenty of human friends to play tug o’ war with, and laps to snuggle at bed time. Christianna sent many photos and videos daily to keep me in the loop of Watson’s adventures. He is epileptic and requires daily medication which was not an issue at all for Christianna. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on!”

“Larissa is awesome! She cared for our puppy as if he was her own and we loved it! She made sure she sent plenty of pics of him and always kept us informed. Also Tank and Louie are the cutest and sweetest fur babies. They also took great care of our lil Benji. We’ll definitely be reaching back out to her to sit for our puppy next time we’re in need of overnight boarding 🥰”

“Linda was great with our cat Millie. She sent us updates throughout the stay, gave her medications on schedule and did everything she could to make her comfortable. She gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.”

About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in our daily life along the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.
“My dog looked like he was enjoying himself so much, I wasn’t sure how to convince him to come home🤭 His previous stay away from home was terrible, and stressful, he returned with hotspots all over his body. I knew we found a good fit Anika because she only watches one dog at a time, more his speed. We received pictures and updates daily which eased his humans minds. I cannot thank Anika enough fo her care. See you soon!”

“Sarah was so easy to work with, responsive, and friendly. She has a lovely home with a great yard. I appreciated her checking in with updates and pics, and could enjoy my trip knowing my pup was in such great care. Will definitely book again and highly recommended!”

“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”

“She was absolutely wonderful! She was very kind, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about my puppy. She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. It made such a difference knowing my puppy was in good hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. 🐾”


“Kelly is amazing! My little baby loves hanging out at her home. Kelly is very communicative and sends pics often. It truly gave me a peace of mind while I was away for 8 days knowing that my pup was in great hands and HAPPY!”

“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”

My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time knowing they’re in caring hands. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family that rescued animals, and my mom has worked in the veterinary field her entire career. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my three little ones, I spent years working in animal hospitals, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. That background taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for animals. At home, we have three playful kittens and a friendly dog, so your pet will be staying with someone who truly understands their needs. We also have a large backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I know every pet is different, which is why I do my best to stick to their normal routine. Whether that means feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, cuddle time, or simply giving them space to relax! I’ll care for your pet the way you do at home. I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps reduce stress and makes them feel comfortable. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and updates while you’re away so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly.

The pictures Melissa sent as we were gone made me happy to see that he was getting spoiled and was having great naps and playtime. She updated me daily and ensured Leo was fed exactly what was needed and we would definitely love to have Leo come "sleepover" again.”

“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”

“Jennifer and her family were absolutely amazing to work with and took great care of my dog. Her updates were above and beyond and I can tell my puppy have a fabulous weekend. Definitely plan to book with her again.”

“This was our first time boarding our dog. We appreciated Megan's personality and her warm family. Diesel seemed super happy in every photo. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Larissa is awesome! She cared for our puppy as if he was her own and we loved it! She made sure she sent plenty of pics of him and always kept us informed. Also Tank and Louie are the cutest and sweetest fur babies. They also took great care of our lil Benji. We’ll definitely be reaching back out to her to sit for our puppy next time we’re in need of overnight boarding 🥰”

“Linda was great with our cat Millie. She sent us updates throughout the stay, gave her medications on schedule and did everything she could to make her comfortable. She gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. We will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in our daily life along the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.
“Sarah was so easy to work with, responsive, and friendly. She has a lovely home with a great yard. I appreciated her checking in with updates and pics, and could enjoy my trip knowing my pup was in such great care. Will definitely book again and highly recommended!”

“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”


“Kelly is amazing! My little baby loves hanging out at her home. Kelly is very communicative and sends pics often. It truly gave me a peace of mind while I was away for 8 days knowing that my pup was in great hands and HAPPY!”

“A great vacation for my high energy pups! Christopher was very responsive and was awesome at accommodating for my shepards. Lots of space for them to run and play. Would recommend!”

“This was my first time using this type of service to board my senior dog, and I must say that it was a blessing to find Sarah. She cared for Princess as if she was her own. Sarah provided me with status updates and went the extra mile. Will definitely use her services in the future. Thanks Sarah! You are the best!”

“Im am so happy to have found Tarressa! I felt so relaxed while I was away this weekend knowing that my baby was with someone who would take good care of him. Tarressa sent pictures and updates, which made me feel amazing and helped me not to be worried about whether or not he was doing good. This was my first time boarding him and she made it a smooth transition for me. I can’t wait to bring Ziggy back to her.”

“Rose and her boyfriend are a godsend. They didn’t flinch at the length of time we needed them, nor that we had three dogs (2 chihuahuas and 1 Aussie). We were comfortable knowing our three girls were safe and happy while we were all the way in Alaska for 9 days. Excellent experience!”
