“Jennifer and Chris were great and our dogs had a great time. We especially appreciated our initial meeting. This allowed us to see all of their pets and get Sassy and Pierre to familiarize themselves with each one of theirs. Pierre went into this doggy vacay having anxiety from our previous boarding experience and they did a wonderful job and we have not been able to notice any anxiety since getting him back. We will definitely be using them in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for a peace of mind experience with boarding their dogs. Thanks again to both of you Jennifer & Chris!”


“Jessica was amazing! We were on vacation & thought he would be more comfortable with a place to run and play with other furry friends! Jessica was flexible, responded immediately & sent us photos & updates throughout his stay! We are so grateful! When we picked him up he was so happy & excited! Thank you!”


“I don’t think my dogs wanted to come home after staying with Susy. She went above and beyond to ensure they were well cared for and happy. I trust her implicitly and will use her again the next time I leave town.”


“On a scale of 1 to 10, Liz is a 10+ dog boarder/caregiver. It was quite apparent in the photos and videos she sent that my 2 girls felt loved and were very happy. They made new fur friends, having such a fun time playing with Liz's 2 oh so sweet pups. I would highly recommend Liz if you need dog boarding services.”


“Our pup had so much fun staying with Charles! She had lots of attention, cuddles, and playtime with puppy pals. I love that she wasn't put in a kennel and was allowed to sleep in a home environment.”


“she was very nice and made us feel very comfortable leaving our pet in her care. She communicated with us during our vacation letting us know how our pet was doing during her stay. I recommend her to anyone who looking for a sitter for their pet ?. I look forward to do business with her again.”


“Ashley was great with Rocco. Updated us with daily pics and videos. Very understanding with puppy care and what comes with a 10 week old. Would high recommend to anyone traveling to the Williamsburg area.”


“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of my dog Claire. She would send me update photos throughout my trip to ease my stress about how Claire was coping with us being gone. The difference between how happy Claire was when we returned proved that Alyssa is an incredible sitter and value compared to local kennels in the area.”


“Margaret was wonderful! My dog looked like she was on her own vacation at Margarets house. She would send me pictures of Lucy playing in the yard and what bedding Lucy picked. Lucy loved being at Margarets house. I highly recommend Margaret!”


“Excellent service Alexis and her husband are heaven sent. They are very responsive and took both my pups at the last minute. I couldn't see leaving my babies with anyone else.....know that you both are our pups official caregivers when we are away. They showed both my fur babies who have different personalities so much love. Our poodle was afraid to walk off the porch before we took her to you and as soon as she got home she just ran and ran all around the yard. It may be minor to some but it means a lot to my children and I. Thank you again and we will see you soon!❤”


About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes! I have a little dachshund named steel who is a couch potato with the occasional zoomies as well as a 6 year old son who loves anything furry and sweet. I work 8:30-3 but only 7 mins from home and can pop in on my lunch if needed. Otherwise home and ready to play with fur babies I do not have a fenced in yard but do have space where they could get their zoomies out. Welcome to be on furniture and even better if they snuggle my kiddo in bed.

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 out daily life alone 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.

“Ashley did a fantastic job dog sitting Emma for me! Ashley was extremely professional and made sure to give me updates daily, including pictures of Emma. Ashley was happy to fulfill Emma’s daily routines as well as some extra care and attention. Thank you, Ashley!”


About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay. My dog has a strict routine as I believe taking care of pers works better with a specific schedule. He wakes up, gets fed, gets taken out, is given treats, among everything else at the same time. Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.
