Emily is the best! As newbies to DC, could not have asked for someone better to take care of my anxious and shy 7 year old Maltese poodle. So relieved to have found someone to hangout with Artemis (Artie Party ❤️)

Knowing our high maintenance pup was with Sarah was such a relief! She sent updates throughout the night with great pics, followed all of our instructions, and kept our senior dog comfortable and happy! I feel so lucky we found Sarah! She has set a high bar for future dog sitters!

Our second time having Aidan watch my 2 chihuahuas in my home went exceptionally. My boys were well taken care of and my house was clean and orderly when I got home. I will continue to use him in the future.

Gilberto was awesome! He took the best care of Archie in every way! He took long walks, played fetch, and even took him to an outdoor concert! We got multiple communiques including pictures every day. He picked Archie up a day early to ease the transition at no extra cost. I’m afraid Archie got better care from Gilberto than from us, and we do spoil him a lot! It was so comforting to know that he was receiving great care. Can’t say enough wonderful things. ???

An amazing dog sitter and person! She watched our 3 dogs for the weekend while we went on a trip. The dogs had a great time! She didn’t have to text us for any questions past what we had discussed, She also put our sheets from the bedroom in the washer so we didn’t even have to do that when we got home. Great communicator and so nice! Shannon is on the top of our list next time we need a dog walker or dog watcher.

She took great care of Nana and Pepper. My dog Nana was sick and was having frequent accidents, and she handled it very well. Thankfully my baby is ok now, but thank you Rachelle for taking care of Nana and Pepper.

Olivia and Nick did a great job. They stayed with our two young labs in our home. They provided lots of timely communications and pictures. The boys clearly enjoyed their time with Olivia and Nick. We have booked them for another visit. Definitely recommend.

Larkin instantly had a connection with my puppy, who felt calm and comfortable. She was reliable. She just had a chill day with my puppy, aligned with my puppy’s inclination.

I am so grateful we found Alex. She house sat Louie for 3 days and sent regular updates throughout the entire duration of her stay. The detailed updates made it very clear that she was spending a lot of time with Louie, getting to know him really well, and being super thoughtful about his care. I felt like they became besties while I was gone and honestly there’s nothing more I could wish for the person watching my Lou. Last but certainly not least she left my apartment cleaner than I found it and even left a sweet card, treats, and some extra paper goods behind to make sterling back in at home even easier. I can’t wait to have her walk Louie again and know he’ll be happy to see her too. It’s also such a relief to know I have someone so reliable and trustworthy next time I need to go out of town. Thank you, Alex! You’re the best!

Stephanie took such good care of our Luna who is a 65lb pittie mix. Luna is reactive with other dogs, and Stephanie was totally comfortable navigating that and even working with Luna to decrease her anxiety. She communicated well, gave us updates and sent us lots of pictures. She took perfect care of our place. Will definitely book services with her again in the future.

Chantal was incredible! She was quick to respond and flexible in setting (and rescheduling) a meet-and-greet. During the stay itself, she was prompt and kept us updated but not overwhelmed with photos and information. Heading out, she left the house in even better shape than she found it. Just a great experience and we hope to have her help again on our next trip.

"Absolutely Wonderful! We recently had Meagan take care of our two dogs, Rudy and Riley, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Meagan is a true dog whisperer, showing immense love and care towards our furry family members. Rudy and Riley were so happy and relaxed when we returned, a clear sign they were well looked after. If you're seeking a reliable, caring, and experienced dog sitter, look no further than Meagan. She goes above and beyond, ensuring your pets are not just looked after but also loved and pampered in your absence. Highly recommend!"

She watched my dog and my dog’s best friend who are both super clingy lapdogs despite one weighing 50 and the other 75. Came home to two very happy pups!
