“Tamara was great! My dogs had a great time at her place and they were very well taken care of. My senior dog needed medication and to take it easy and Tamara had no problem accommodating him, while my younger dog was playfully active and Tamara also took great care of her.”
“Kristen did an amazing job watching my little fur ball. My little Frenchie is a little high maintenance and she came back happy and healthy from having a great time running around in the yard with the other dogs and relaxing inside with her toys.”
“Erin was great with Scout! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures of him while we were at my brothers wedding at The View at Bluemont! It was nice to know he was loved and got plenty of attention while we were away for weekend. I am sure he will miss them!”
“So Happy to have sent my little guy Theo to stay with Anahita for 10 days while we were out of country. He was never out for so long without his family around him. Anahita took great care of him. She was so kind to share any dates and communicate how he was doing each day and made sure he was eating well and getting along well. Provided me with so much peace of mind that he was in real good care. Theo had great time at Anahita’s place and got along so well with Anahita’s own pets. He has made new friends. Even when I picked him up and was driving away from her home, authored back and was whining that I was taking him away from his new friends. I was jealous as well as so happy that he had a great time. Will recommend Anahita to my friends and will also look for her services if I need in future. Very Happy that Theo has found a new home if needed in future. Thank You so much Anahita for taking great care of Theo. Really appreciate it.”
“Marsha and her husband were excellent sitters for our dog over a holiday weekend. They were welcoming during the meet and greet and instilled confidence that our dog would be well cared for. During the visit, we received photo updates including the walks they took our dog on. We would absolutely use Marsha again in the future.”
“Maki and Joel are exceptionally kind Rover hosts! They were patient with my anxious dog and communicated frequently with me, including multiple photos. I cannot say enough good things about them!”
“Sarah and her family took wonderful care of Meesha while I was away. They were kind, communicative, and made me feel at ease with updates throughout her stay. I’d definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her!”
“The whole experience was easy and stress-free. They were caring, reliable, and kept me updated while I was away. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Could not have asked for a better experience. I could tell my dog was well loved and cared for. Tara has great communication and provided daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use her time and time again.”
“We made a last minute booking with Lori and her husband for oue 4 Belgian Malinois. Yes, 2 adult Malinois and 2 under a year. I thought for sure they would say "he'll no" or charge an arm and a leg. I couldn't have been more wrong! Lori and her husband not only gave us a great deal and said yes! They welcomed all 4 of our crazy girls with open arms. They communicated daily, sent us pictures, let the girls play several times a day and loved on them just as we do. I felt so safe knowing they have experience with this breed and are also dog trainers. They knew just how to handle our girls and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience start to finish. Thank you so so much for keeping our girls safe and happy while we took a much needed family vacation! We will absolutely rebook!”
“Luke had a relaxing weekend with Ali and her family. He was so welcomed, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m glad he was able to roam freely throughout the house just like he does at home.”
“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“Tetiana was great! Everything from reservation to drop off and pick up was smooth. She payed attention to my instructions and took a great care of my dog. I really appreciate daily updates with photos.”
“Elisa and her family were fantastic! They took great care of our Yorkie and sent us updates with pictures every day, which really put our minds at ease. I could tell that she was loved and pampered. We will definitely be booking them again. Thanks again.”
“It was a last minute booking, but Cindy and her family were wonderful with my puppy. She had a blast at her place with her Shitzu pup. Great communication, daily update, and very patient with my puppy. Definitely rebook in the future!”
“We’re so grateful for the love and care our pups received. It meant everything knowing they were not just safe, but truly happy while we were away. The sweetest part was how much our doggies adored her kids you could tell they were having the best time together. We came home to a couple of relaxed, happy dogs, and that says it all. They will be going back forever now!”

“Ashley was so wonderful with our kitties! They can take some time to warm up to new people, but they trusted her within the first day! Her updates and photos made us feel less guilty for being away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds since I was 10 years old, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I will provide the best care for your fur babies while keeping their same routine. Whether that means plenty of exercise or just cuddling on the couch, I will make sure your loved ones are taken care of. I am very responsive and communicative, and will always keep you updated throughout their day to give you peace of mind. Having two fur babies myself, I know how daunting it can be leaving them. My goal is to give your pet the same level of care and affection they are used to at home. I am a registered nurse and currently working part time, therefore I have free time during the work week. I am available throughout the week during regular work hours. I will care for your pet like one of my own, and make sure they are comfortable and at ease while you are away. I will make sure their routine and schedule will stay the same for continuity. I also prioritize giving frequent updates so you always have peace of mind.
“Zeel was great! She played with my cats, cleaned up their messes, communicated with me each day while we were away, and sent photos! I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Erin did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Mia! Erin is very sweet and Mia liked her a lot (which says something!) Would definitely recommend Erin for anyone needing pet sitting.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and am very comfortable caring for them at every stage. I have experience pet sitting cats independently, including maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and administering medication when needed. I understand cat body language and the importance of patience, consistency, and low stress care.
About: With a vet-tech mom, I grew up surrounded by animals of every kind. From a young age I learned the real responsibilities of caring for pets, helping her rescue and rehabilitate dogs and cats, assisting with grooming, daily care, and even giving medications when needed. Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally — it’s truly what I love to do
About: I have grown up with 3 of my own dogs (Australian cattle dog, lab, and our lovely mutt). I’ve also for the past few years have been dog sitting for friends and family of all different breeds, sizes, and ages! I currently work part-time and am studying international social justice at VCU! I have a LOT of free time now that school is out and can’t wait to spend time playing with your fur babies :) Whether it’s staying over at mine or just going for walks I will ensure that your baby is fully loved and taken care of. We live by several parks and the James river that ensure a good time! Also a pup cup every now and then is always a fun treat after a long walk!
About: I raised my kittens since they were 2 months old and I did a great job! They are the most purfect kittens. I love cats. And I know they love it being tidy. I always make sure to provide a clean plate of food instead of refilling a dirty one.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine love and deep respect I have for every animal in my care. With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, chickens, and more, I fully understand the responsibility that comes with pet sitting—it’s more than just feeding and walking. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness while you're away. Whether I’m staying in your home or doing daily drop-ins, I bring the same level of care, reliability, and attention to detail every time. I pride myself on open and frequent communication with pet owners. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and check-ins from my phone so you’re always reassured that everything is going smoothly. I also come with solid references from happy clients who can vouch for the trust and peace of mind I bring. Your home and pets will always be treated with the utmost respect and care. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet-and-greet, feel free to contact me love to connect! P.S I pet-sit for cats and dogs! Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, as I work a consistent shift from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Manassas. I’m always available in the mornings for breakfast, walks, and check-ins before I head to work, and I return in the evenings for dinner, evening walks, and quality time with your pets. When I’m not able to come home during the midday hours—especially if I'm not near the Fairfax area—I have a trusted and reliable colleague who can stop by for a drop-in visit between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM. I understand how important you and your pet's comfort and safety is, and I have references available to ensure peace of mind to my client if someone else is assisting during those hours during 11-12pm On weekends, I am fully available to be with your pets, and I spend plenty of time giving them attention, playtime, and outdoor exercise. Many clients are happy with the balance of structure, care, and activity I provide, especially when their pets get to burn off energy and enjoy the outdoors. My clients and I have had excellent experiences with this routine—we’ve found that it works well when I’m away at work and my colleague covers the midday visit, followed by me returning home to feed, walk, and stay with your pets for the rest of the evening and overnight. I’m always happy to provide references, both for myself and for my colleague, to help reassure you that your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for in our hands. I am a nurturing, loving, and attentive pet sitter who treats every dog as if they were my own. Whether it's relaxing together on the couch for some quiet cuddle time or running around outside during an energetic play session, I always meet each pet where they’re at emotionally and physically. If the client is comfortable, I also include water playtime (like with the water hose or kiddie pools) for dogs that enjoy it, which is a fun way for them to cool off and stay active. Physical activity is always a big part of the care I provide daily walks, jogs, and time spent outside help keep your dog happy, healthy, and stimulated. I tailor all activities to your pet’s energy level and personality, and I make sure they feel loved and secure at all times. In your home, I maintain a high level of respect for your space while ensuring your pet gets the care, affection, and structure they’re used to. With over 10 years of experience in pet sitting, I understand the importance of keeping pets in their familiar environment, and I work to maintain their routines and comfort. For example, I recently cared for a senior Labrador who preferred short walks and lots of cozy nap time, I followed his schedule exactly, administered his medications on time, and sent regular updates to the owners so they felt completely at ease. I’m happy to offer references from past clients to reassure you of my professionalism and reliability. Your pet’s well being is always my top priority, and I’m more than willing to communicate openly and clearly about any concerns to give you complete peace of mind.
About: I lived with cats for almost 2 years. They were my roomate’s cat, but I provided care while I was with them. I fed and played with them regularly. I also helped with brushing their teeth or fur. Even though they hate medicine, I also administered medicine. I’ve taken care of many cats outside of my roomate’s kitties as well.

“My dog is very shy and has separation anxiety but Sarah made her feel right at home. I could see from the pictures and videos just how great of a time she was having. I’ll definitely be brining her back!”
About: I’m a full-time work-from-home professional. Unless I’m traveling for work, I’m home with the pups all day, giving them plenty of attention, love, and care. Please message me for availability—my schedule can often be adjusted to fit your needs. A Few Things to Know: - I focus on dogs 45 lbs and under to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. - Dogs will be staying in my home, not a separate kennel area. - I offer free pick up and drop off services so you have one less thing to worry about! Pick up and Drop off must be during daylight hours. Otherwise you will need to pick up or drop off your pup. - If you’d prefer your dog to be the only guest during their stay, just let me know—I’ll do my best to accommodate. - I’ve been petsitting longer than I’ve had my dogs so they’ve been raised with different dogs coming and going and love dogs of all sizes! - I do have chickens and ducks so if your dogs have any prey tendencies, please let me know so I can keep them separated. What Your Dog Can Expect: - Free access to a fully fenced yard for playtime. - Couch privileges and plenty of indoor snuggles. - A daily rhythm of breakfast, play, naps, dinner, and evening exercise. - Lots of dog beds to choose from so everyone always has a comfy space - Walks and leisurely outings if your pup enjoys them. Why Choose Me? I’ve had dogs all my life, and honestly—I prefer pets to people! My own pack is spoiled, and I’ll treat your dog like the king or queen they are. With me, your pup will get more than just care—they’ll get genuine love, attention, and a home-away-from-home. Send me a message today—I’d love to meet your furry best friend! I work from home full time so I can accommodate all schedules and needs! Usually the day starts with breakfast and a little playtime, followed by afternoon napping and then dinner. More playtime after dinner- to make sure everyone gets their exercise needs met. I love all my dogs and yours too! Dogs are given free access to fully fenced outdoor yard and free access to inside, including being on furniture.
“Erin and her family are incredible :) She took amazing care of our dog Mac and sent plenty of great pics. Mac was so delighted to spend time with Erin, her family and her two sweet girls. He was in heaven just hanging in the house and in the yard. He settled in immediately with their family and came home very content and at ease. They also played with him outside so he also came home tired and slept like a baby!”
“Barbara was polite, thoughtful, and kind. She texted to let us know how he was doing about halfway through the appointment, and she shared a cute picture. I would definitely book with her again and certainly recommend her!”
“Maki is so kind, she agreed to watch Gin on late notice. Gin definitely had fun and Maki’s! Maki was great at communicating and sending pics of Gin throughout the day! Definitely recommend!”
“Shaghayegh is one of the best dog sitters I have met and I'm so happy to have found her! She's so friendly, super honest, and just does a careful and amazing job with my puppy. She takes him on multiple walks and sends me lots of pictures during the day. When I drop him off to her in the morning, he's practically jumping out of my arms to get to her and cuddle, so that's the best possible review that really matters!”
About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home mom of three amazing boys, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals wasn’t just a hobby — it was a way of life. I’ve owned pets my entire life and have also fostered many dogs over the years, so my boys have grown up learning how to properly handle, respect, and love animals. We recently lost our sweet dog last year and are taking a little break from owning one, but our home feels happiest with paws around. Dog sitting allows us to share that love while giving your pup the attention and care they deserve. Because I work from home full time, your dog will rarely be alone and will get plenty of supervision, affection, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large single-family home with lots of space to relax. There’s a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, as well as a spacious front yard — but please know your dog will never be outside unsupervised. In our home, dogs are family. They’re welcome on the couch and even in the bed for snuggles at night if that’s what they’re used to. My boys love giving extra attention, playtime, and belly rubs — always guided by what your dog is comfortable with. Our family truly adores and respects animals, and we will care for your dog as if they were our own — with patience, structure, affection, and lots of love. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home full time. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and regular potty breaks as often as needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. We go on at least one walk every day, and I’m happy to adjust the length or pace depending on your dog’s age and energy level. In addition to walks, I incorporate outdoor time, playtime, and plenty of affection into the day. Because I’m already on a steady home schedule, it’s easy for me to maintain feeding times, medication schedules, and any specific routines your dog is used to. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our daily routine and are treated like family. Because I work from home full time, I’m able to provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Dogs have access to our large fenced backyard (always supervised) and enjoy at least one daily walk, along with playtime and snuggles. They’re welcome on the couch and even in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I stick closely to each dog’s normal feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always the same: to provide safe, loving, reliable care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.
About: Dog care certified in Argentina, as an animal lover I want to pursue career caring for them. Since young, I used to spend a lot of time in dog walks and parks with them. I believe now, I can provide them the perfect environment of a fenced backyard of 10.000 sqf. I love to exercise and pamper pups and we're easy to reach, even for a last-minute need. With some dog training experience and a lot of love for dogs, I look forward to taking care of your family member like one of our own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will take long playtime or jogs with your dog. If your furry family member just needs companionship and loving attention, I am happy to provide that kind of care, too. Photos of your dog will be shared with you throughout their visit. I love to send lots of pictures of my guests. My house is generally a cage-free environment, but will use your crates if that is what your pup is used to at home. I have a couple of gates to use as necessary to separate dogs during meals and to give them a large, safe play area in our home.
“Absolutely the best, and works with my dysfunctional schedule… my dog comes home happy and tired from playing all day. I couldn’t work comfortably without her. 1000/10 recommend doggy day care with her!”
“Haejin & Herscel were wondering caretakers! They were open to taking my dog for daycare a few days before and treated her so well. I liked that they only take a few dogs a day to reduce exposure and ensure they are all being watched. I loved the occasional photo and video updates, which her other daycare doesn't do it all. She came home very tired from playing all day, which was exactly what we wanted. I look forward to using them again!”
About: For years, I've walked the fields and trails along the Potomac River with a furry companion - most recently with Flannery, my family's Great Pyrenees who loved romping in Virginia Bluebell flowers and sinking her paws into mud. Animals have always been a part of my life. I've mucked stalls, herded ewes and lambs, evaded headbutting rams, cuddled pigs, milked goats, trimmed hooves, and named a farm dynasty of cats and kittens names like "Nefertiti" and "Isosceles" (after Egyptian royalty and geometry terms). Animals and their personalities are a source of endless interest for me. “If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.” ~James Herriot I have a flexible work schedule at home and welcome an excuse to enjoy fresh air and exercise together with your pet. I'm available for daycare and dog-walking every day except for Sunday mornings. Your dog can stay indoor in my apartment or outdoor in the fenced-in yard, as needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walking. If additional space is needed for running and walking in the open countryside, I am also happy to take your dog on a "field trip" to my family's little farm.
“Lauren was a great sitter! She was very conscientious about making Max’s stay comfortable for him and checked in with me throughout the day. I would definitely have her watch him again”
“My dog Pebbles loves Lauren and her adorable, gentle children! They are the perfect match! We are so blessed to have found a sitter who makes sure she feels like part of her family. 🤗”
About: I have a deep passion for animals and a keen eye for understanding their non-verbal cues. By focusing on the small details and reading their body language, I ensure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and stress-free. Im a stay at home mom. I take my aon to school at 7:20, i would be available directly after that until 1:30 or 2 depending on where you live. Then Im available from 3-7. Every morning I feel my dogs and then walk them around our property. Then, I feed the kitty who is usually meowing loudly at me. Then, I scoop her box. She likes it if I scoop her box several times a day. The dogs are fed twice a day, and walked several times. My Dad or I will walk our younger dog Molly around the neighborhood or on the Appalachian trail. Dinner for the dogs is at 7pm and "last pee" is before bedtime (usually 10).

“Addison did so good with Ollie! I adopted Ollie last weekend from the shelter & he has severe separation anxiety. Addison was patient with him and came over last minute. She also cleaned up a poo & pee accident the second time she came over with no issues. Ollie seemed to love her. Would request her again!”

About: With 3 years of hands-on experience in training and caring for dogs, I treat every pup like my own. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of each dog’s unique personality and my calm, loving approach that builds real trust with the dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. From morning walks and meal times to play, training, and quiet bonding time, I structure my day around giving each dog the attention and care they need. It’s not just a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize.

About: Hi! I am a recent college graduate who’s moved back to the area. I have shelter volunteer experience and have had several positive experiences on this app doing in-house and overnight dogsitting. I got my first dog eight years ago in high school and he’s the light of my life! I love hanging out with all types of dogs regardless of breed or energy level. I don't mind taking care of dogs who are timid or defensive- I know how to keep boundaries with more nervous animals. Hablo español e inglés :) I am very flexible through august of this summer as I seek a new teaching job for the school year :-) I am not currently working so I can drive anywhere in town any day of the week. When I come to the house, I always make sure waters are full before I leave and gates are closed/secured. I'm fairly athletic, so I'm cool with taking long walks and being active with them in the yard- I'll match the energy level of your pet.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands on experience caring for animals. I currently work at a kennel where I care for all kinds of dogs, with specialized experience in administering medication, cleaning and bathing, and safe, confident handling. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for exotic pets, including birds and reptiles. I am currently working part-time, so I am available to drop in during most hours every day of the week. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate last-minute requests, midday walks, or specific feeding times to ensure your pet stays perfectly on track with their usual routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I make sure all feeding, walks, playtime, and litter box or cleanup needs are handled carefully, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I also administer medications when needed and keep the home clean and secure, providing updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

Leashes are always used, and if I have any questions about anything i’ll send a quick text to double check with you to be safe!

While I have a full-time day job during standard business hours, I make time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for pets. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening playtime, or weekend drop-ins, I’m committed to making sure every pet in my care feels happy and comfortable. I ensure pets are fed and have clean drinking water at all times. I provide regular physical activity through walks and playtime, and I engage them in conversation for mental stimulation. I also follow any instructions given by the owner to the letter, ensuring their routines and preferences are respected.

About: I have worked in pet care/home care for over a decade! I work as a dog walker for a company in Berryville, and I also work as a groomer for a Newfoundland Breeder with show dogs. I have had experience as a vet technician as well! I am comfortable will all types of dogs and would love to meet yours❤️ I provide daily dog walking services and breaks, in home boarding or house sitting. Dog walking and pet care is more then simply providing the basics, I appreciate the trust that owners give when having someone provide care for there beloved animals. Respect, genuine love, trust and a building relationship goes into each pet a care for. Pet care is full time for me, and I am available weekly and in the weekends. My schedule is generally flexible and I can usually accommodate even last min requests. However I do occasionally have a fully scheduled week and any house sitting or dog sitting requests would be easier to schedule with a couple weeks notice. I do not currently have a fenced in yard, but I provide walks and potty breaks by walking on a leash as needed. I live close to 2 dog park’s and I love to take them there to burn off energy ( as long as dog parks are not an overwhelming experience and the owner agrees it is ok to visit one ), I also enjoy bringing them along as a running and hiking buddy on the several nature trails near me. If I am watching a pet in their own home, I will just keep up with the normal routine as stated by the owner, and of course always check with you to make sure any new activities we try are ok
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats as well as owned them throughout my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets and I have always been reliable! I’m currently home from nursing school so my schedule is essentially free! I am willing to go take care of animals whenever it is convenient for you! I have a lab mix and a newfoundland at home that love to play and go on walks. I would love to play with dogs, let them outside, go on walks, feed them, and give any medications they require.
About: I’ve taken care of many cats and dogs my whole life. From my grandma having 5 dogs when I was young to growing up with two jack russels and a chihuahua to now with my little girl Lily, a King Charles Spaniel. She loves her walkies and so do I! My boyfriends family has four cats and I have taken care of them day and night when they’ve gone on trips. I love them all! I always text pictures over to his mom to make sure they see their babies so I will/can do that for you to keep peace of mind. Let me take care of your sweet babies!! They are in great hands. :) I work from home right now so I can come in the early morning, mid afternoon and night time to do all that is needed! I know how to train leash training dogs/cats. I can let them out in your back yard or however you need me to! You can always let me know how you would like to let them out. I love taking walks as well!

“Kristen did an amazing job watching my little fur ball. My little Frenchie is a little high maintenance and she came back happy and healthy from having a great time running around in the yard with the other dogs and relaxing inside with her toys.”
“Erin was great with Scout! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures of him while we were at my brothers wedding at The View at Bluemont! It was nice to know he was loved and got plenty of attention while we were away for weekend. I am sure he will miss them!”
“So Happy to have sent my little guy Theo to stay with Anahita for 10 days while we were out of country. He was never out for so long without his family around him. Anahita took great care of him. She was so kind to share any dates and communicate how he was doing each day and made sure he was eating well and getting along well. Provided me with so much peace of mind that he was in real good care. Theo had great time at Anahita’s place and got along so well with Anahita’s own pets. He has made new friends. Even when I picked him up and was driving away from her home, authored back and was whining that I was taking him away from his new friends. I was jealous as well as so happy that he had a great time. Will recommend Anahita to my friends and will also look for her services if I need in future. Very Happy that Theo has found a new home if needed in future. Thank You so much Anahita for taking great care of Theo. Really appreciate it.”
“Marsha and her husband were excellent sitters for our dog over a holiday weekend. They were welcoming during the meet and greet and instilled confidence that our dog would be well cared for. During the visit, we received photo updates including the walks they took our dog on. We would absolutely use Marsha again in the future.”

“We made a last minute booking with Lori and her husband for oue 4 Belgian Malinois. Yes, 2 adult Malinois and 2 under a year. I thought for sure they would say "he'll no" or charge an arm and a leg. I couldn't have been more wrong! Lori and her husband not only gave us a great deal and said yes! They welcomed all 4 of our crazy girls with open arms. They communicated daily, sent us pictures, let the girls play several times a day and loved on them just as we do. I felt so safe knowing they have experience with this breed and are also dog trainers. They knew just how to handle our girls and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience start to finish. Thank you so so much for keeping our girls safe and happy while we took a much needed family vacation! We will absolutely rebook!”
“Elisa and her family were fantastic! They took great care of our Yorkie and sent us updates with pictures every day, which really put our minds at ease. I could tell that she was loved and pampered. We will definitely be booking them again. Thanks again.”
“We’re so grateful for the love and care our pups received. It meant everything knowing they were not just safe, but truly happy while we were away. The sweetest part was how much our doggies adored her kids you could tell they were having the best time together. We came home to a couple of relaxed, happy dogs, and that says it all. They will be going back forever now!”
“Kelly was amazing with Crash. She and her family had Crash for a full month... and he was clearly a happy Dog. When he is stressed he loses hair on his side, that did not happen!!! And his first night/day home, We think he was depressed b/c he missed Kelly and her Family.. She Truly kept us informed, sent pictures and was just such a peace in our hearts to have Crash so happy. We will use Kelly again!!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our pup!! I couldn't recommend her more!! She is SO kind and caring. I could tell from the moment we had a meet and greet with her and her pups. She provided us daily updates on our pup and treats your pets just as she does her own. I was so relieved to find someone that I can trust our beloved furbaby with from now on. I was kind of upset that my pup wasn't more excited to come home, but that's just a reflection of the good time she had on her little vacay!! 🤣 Highly recommend Lauren for all your fur baby care!!”
“Another wonderful stay with Maria — Moxie loves getting some outside time in the backyard and Maria does a great job of keeping us informed! She always feels like very trusted hands. Thanks Maria!”
