Jordan
Duckwall, West Virginia
Flexible, reliable, & adventurous married couple. Animal loving + Travel ready!
Jordan and Alexander were absolutely wonderful pet and house sitters during our 3.5 weeks away. Jordan kept in contact with us with pictures and updates about our dog, and it was clear both she and Alexander are real animal lovers. They took wonderful care of our home, plants and garden as well, and we came back to a clean and tidy house and a happy dog. If they had any questions, they would just ask, and they took care of everything that was needed while we were traveling. We highly recommend them for any house and pet sit opportunity, and hope they will come back to our home again next time we go away. Thank you, Jordan and Alexander!
Chip

NON SMOKER, highly rated dog sitter, mostly remote worker, former Police officer
Chip was great at communicating and took good care of our house, our dog, and our plants!
Maggie
Duckwall, West Virginia
Software engineer moonlighting as a pet cuddler
Maggie was an absolutely perfect sitter for my 2 cats, bunny and fish! She was communicative, sent regular updates, kept every happy and healthy and our home was even tidier than before we left it. I highly recommend her. She handled cat puke, a very poopy bunny and a suicidal fish like champ (the fish even survived because she saw it so fast and got it back in the tank!) Couldn't ask for a better sitter and we would welcome her back anytime!
Samantha
Duckwall, West Virginia
Caring, trustworthy, professional couple combing our love of travel with pets
I was thrilled when they were able to come back. Not only do they give so much attention to Beso, who loves them, but they could not be better house guests. Very grateful for situations like this that this app makes possible.
Kristy
Duckwall, West Virginia
Responsible & Clean Homecare
We had a wonderful experience with Kristin as our pet sitter! She is incredibly sweet and showed such genuine care for our fur babies. Kristin kept everything clean and organized, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly well taken care of and happy when we returned. We highly recommend Kristin for anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!
Zackary
Duckwall, West Virginia
Very passionate and caring animal lover!
This is Zack’s 2nd time sitting for us and both times he has been great. He was able to get an issue under control with our oldest dog and handled it like a champ. I Forgot to let him know contractors were coming to install solar panels but he was very understanding. He took good care of our 3 dogs and our home. He is welcome to sit for us anytime.
Kathleen
Duckwall, West Virginia
Trusted, experienced pet sitter available to spoil your pets!!
Kathy makes a real connection with our cats and we really appreciate the level of attention Kathy gives to our cats. We love having Kathy sit for us. Kathy is very attentive to our cats, is very tidy, and is very easy going when members of our family pass through our house.
Liat
Duckwall, West Virginia
Let this loving pet mom care for yours!
SUPER STAR SITTER! You won't find any better!! Wow. She was about 20 minutes from me a week before the sit and she came in person to meet me and the cats. That was very nice. Then during the sit she did a fabulous job. All was fine. When I came home, tired, headachy and super hungry, she made me DINNER and had it in the fridge. And homemade bread. And 6 vases of flowers she arranged from the gardens. The floors were all vacuumed. The countertops were clean. Towels, sheets all washed and folded. Dishwasher done. Her bedroom, spotless. I'm delighted. I couldn't believe it. Everything was perfect and I could not have asked for a better sitter truly! I'll have her again in a second! I'm so grateful to have found Liat.
Susan
Duckwall, West Virginia
Easygoing, tidy and responsible retiree to spoil and care for your pets.
I cannot say enough about my experience with Susan, an interesting and interested animal lover. Arriving earlier than our original agreement because of my partner's concern for traffic went above and beyond expectations. Her pet care was exceptional as well as her neatness leaving my home tidy and clean. I would highly recommend Susan,.
Miranda
Duckwall, West Virginia
Clean, Cuddly, & Communicative Caretakers!
Miranda and Kyle did a nice job sitting our senior cat. He was a bit anxious due to our absence, and there was a thunderstorm that scared him. They were kind and attentive, comforting him and keeping us posted. He had all his meds and was definitely happy for the loving company. Miranda was very communicative and reliable. We would invite them to sit again!
Reviews from Cat Owners
Daniel
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Mike
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Andrew
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Nancy
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Hannah & Dominic
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Thea
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Erin
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Leah
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
Carrie
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!

If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!

Great kennel, great people and excellent care for our small dogs. Facility is clean, secluded off any main roads and family environment. Laura and staff treats all dogs as their own!
They took great care of our babies. If you are looking for a place to board your babies look no further! Hilltop Kennels is the best.
Took excellent care of our dogs while we were away!! I could tell my dogs had a good time and were loved while we were on vacation.

Amazing- anyone struggling with their dog should bring them here. We brought our dog to Sue maybe three/four years ago as a last resort. Our sweet dog was getting intolerable as she grew older and stronger. Sue taught many wonderful things (including “place” which saves the poor mail man) and now that our dog is 5 years old and we have a 4 month old puppy, we will definitely be sending our new pup to Sue for the same training. Thank you Sue for teaching Bear (and us) so well! See you soon for the next pup.
I had adopted a small dog that had experienced some sort of trauma. The advice we were given with our short training visit paid off. She also counseled patience with the dog and that we have understanding that her whole world had changed and she was simply not certain of anything. Her routines were disrupted and she had no certainty of her place in the social order. So, we gave her some room while establishing routines that were more in her comfort zone. Now, that little dog is very sure of herself and honestly one of the best dogs I ever adopted. Thanks Jenny!
I cannot recommend Paw Paws Canine College enough! I took my 11 month golden retriever to Jenny and Sue for the board training program. After three weeks with them, my dog was incredibly well behaved. After the initial board train, we went back every month for the follow individual sessions which were enormously helpful for advanced skills. People are always commenting on how well behaved she is. She can be in a long down stay, courtesy when guests come to the door, great on leash, and we're continuing to work on off leash skills. All of this is because of Jenny and Sue. My dog also loved them and was so excited every time we pulled into the driveway. If you're looking for great trainers for your pup, look no further than Paw Paws!
I will be writing updated review in about a month or less, after my precious 'Spirit' Graduates. But for now, talking with these women gave me such good vibes towards their animals, that I'm trusting to leave my little one there for several weeks, despite my own anxiety separation issues!🐕🐾🐾❤ I already highly recommend Paw Paws Canine College.
Sue is very knowledgeable and professional. She is dedicated to her clients and works to ensure that both pet and the “pet’s family” are comfortable and understanding of her training program. My dogs Daiseymae and Dakotah love going there and are always excited to see Sue! I know when I leave my dogs in her care that they could not be in safer or more capable hands.
Such an excellent investment made for my dog and myself. My goldendoodle puppy is noticeably better behaved as a result of the training he received at Paw Paws Canine College. Jenny not only provided the initial training, but also provided training to continue on with to strengthen and advance the skills learned. Jenny took wonderful care of my dog while he was with her. I appreciated her professionalism, communication, and expertise for dog training. I would not hesitate to recommend Paw Paws Canine College.
Sue has trained several dogs for me over the course of almost 30 years. She is the absolute best person for training your dog and for training you, with a lesson when you pick up the dog and with follow up lessons, if needed, to take care of your trained dog. Dogs love her and respond well to her technique. She is readily available to answer questions and provide advice when you run into issues. I have never had a doggie issue that she could not help me fix. And, I have had lots of doggie issues over the years; housebreaking, chewing, barking, etc. I admit, most of the issues were from me not following her advice to the smallest detail. I used to board my animals with her until I moved to another state. I have never had one animal that did not get excited to see her when I got near her business. My dogs Gini, a Border Collie mix, and Quincy, a Pomeranian, are the best dogs in the whole world. They are sweet, loving, ornery, and sometimes bossy. But, they are also very obedient and I can take them anywhere without worrying about doggie issues. Sue is also a great humanitarian - she rescues animals and places them in homes that are a good fit for the animal as well as the owner. She has helped me truly enjoy the relationships I have had with my dogs. Now that I know the joy a trained dog brings, I would not live with one that was untrained. So, I hope she stays in business the rest of my days. Even though I live in Arizona, now, If and when I need another dog trained, she will be my go to trainer. Thank GOD animals can fly on planes!!
I cannot say enough good things about Sue Clauss, and the services she provides. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional in working with my dog and I. I took our 4 month old Greater Swiss Mountain pup to her last May... (with my knowing NOTHING about how to train a dog). Three weeks later we picked up our pup and I was amazed at how much she had learned and mastered in that time frame. The real challenge for Sue was that she now had to train ME. I have learned so much from her and am still leaning today. Sue walks the talk when it comes to having the dog and the owner achieve success. Sue has met me at our local grocery store parking lot and our Tractor Supply store to work on socialization issues. She has come to our home to work with us. She is straight forward in her approach, with both my dog and myself, ( a value I appreciate). Today, I have a wonderful companion in my dog. She is an obedient and respectful member of our family, thanks to Sue. I now use a collar and leash only when in public, thanks to the training my dog and I both have received. I also Board my dog with Sue. While there are boarding places closer to my home, I want the best for our dog when I am away, so I go out of my way to take our dog to Sue, as I know that she is very well cared for there. I highly recommend Sue Clauss and her training program for any dog and any person that is willing to put in the time to learn what Sue can teach them. Thanks Sue for all you do, I am truly grateful.
My 13 year old dog, Maggie, is such a well behaved dog. Love it that when I get invited to a friends house, she's always included. Her manners are almost perfect and I owe it all to Sue Clauss at Paw Paws Canine College in Slanesville, W VA. Maggie had obedience training and then post grad classes in off leash training from Sue, and I couldn't ask for a better dog. Sue's been on my mind a lot lately because I'm taking care of a 6 mth old pup that acts like it's on drugs. Hyper active, mischievous but cute. I can't even take him for a walk he misbehaves so badly. Maggie was like that once. I keep thinking about how much he could learn at PAWPAWS Canine College, but now I'm too far away to recommend him to her owner. Too bad. Sue always puts the animals first and trains them with kindness. I hope she knows how much she's appreciated. Sue's whole life has been devoted not just to dog training and kenneling, but also to rescue animals, caring for them, healing them and loving them. She's terrific! Thank you Sue.
Save your money. I don’t understand how you can claim to be a dog trainer and then return a dog who behaves worse than before training. At least my dog would come before training and now when given a “Here” command she runs in the opposite direction. Find someone else if you are looking.

My Cinnamon loved her stay. Always happy and the staff sent pics everyday with updates. The additional services offered are worth the money Strongly recommend
We were so pleased to find Golden Wood Boarding for our 3 furbabies. The staff is very sweet & the business is extremely professional. The kennel floors are heated, and kept very clean. Video surveillance is a must, and there's constant monitoring to ensure the animals safety. Calls are answered in a timely manner, and that is EXTREMELY important to me. Each kennel has a photo of the dog, along with their daily feeding & potty info. We got a photo of their smiling faces, and even a report card to show how their day went. The extra services (there is a reasonable cost for those) help them to relax, and truly enjoy their stay. Honestly, I was very nervous about their first visit, but the communication was on point & VERY much appreciated! This will definitely be one of their 'vacation spots' while we enjoy our time away. Thanks for caring about our 'kids' as we do!!!
Thank you so very much for taking such great care of Obi! Judging from the images sent to us, Obi had a wonderful time and we look forward boarding him again. I will recommend your services to every dog owner I know. Thanks once again!
The dogs were well taken care let me say that first! BUT the price we paid was CRAZY compared to when it was Widows Mite. Again not complaining about the care, we just can’t personally afford them. It’s truly a shame. We go to Harvest Moon for most of our boarding but they were booked for this weekend so we gave them a shot. Thanks for taking care of our pups but you gotta come down on the cost. AND TRUST ME I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR MY DOGS. ❤️
We've boarded our dog Levi here in the past when they were still known as Widow's Mite Kennels. Golden Wood, Lappans Rd is a VERY nice kennel. The staff are exceptionally friendly and kind to your animals. They even give you extras so your dog can have a good vacation too. You do have to pay for the extras, but, it's reasonably priced. You do however have to pay them to give your dog medicine if needed, but, it's all reasonably priced too. And, you pay when you pick up your dog(s). They took such good care of our dog Levi, even giving us 2 pictures of him. They are a chain of kennels, so, their prices to board are a little higher than when it was Widow's Mite Kennels. I'd board our dog there again. It's nice there and the dogs have plenty of room to run. 10/10 recommend.
I love the staff and the facility at Golden Wood Lappans Crossroads MD! My golden retriever has the best time there each visit. She gets so excited when we arrive!
Clean facility, excellent customer service and professional.Engaged with our fur babies on a 1:1 .Quick response to emails and provided pictures and reports while our fur babies were there.Looking forward to daycare services in the future
These young girls are amazing and so professional and caring. I especially enjoyed the photos sent with their report card. I will definitely board here again. Well worth the price❤️🐾 …
The employees really do care for my dog. Great communication regarding the dogs stay at Golden Wood. It is a great facility. I like it and so does the dog.
I have looked high and low for a good boarding facility in the DMV and have finally found it here. I live in Washington, DC but I will gladly make the 1.5 hour commute to board my pup here. This facility used to be run by Widow’s Mite and my family has used them for decades.I was a bit scared when I heard the news that the management changed, but I couldn't be any more happier. Although I miss Marcie (from Widow’s Mite) I have to give a big shout out to Kelsey who seems to have a great connection with my dog, Kairo. Kairo is high energy and I was told from Widow’s mite, an escape artist, which always makes me feel a bit scared. But Kairo has shown no signs of trying to escape and I really believe it is because he enjoys his time here. There are many large runs where he can play outside and get his energy out. I also want to share that I have had so many issues with boarding my dog at other facilities in Maryland, VA and DC, and then him coming back with Kennel Cough at other facilities that have a warehouse style setting that is primarily indoors. This facility is the first place that has never made my dog sick from kennel cough. Please take a visit, no matter where you live in the DMV or Pennsylvania. For me, I will gladly drive to the moon and back knowing my dog is safe, well cared for, and getting a great amount of time outside. I look forward to getting to know more of the Golden Wood staff and happy to say I will be sticking with this boarding facility.

Very happy with BR Acres, this is ONLY place for daycare/boarding that my dogs were legitimately excited/running out of the car/not looking back when we arrived - both dogs knowing that this was the play place and not giving me a second …
They take great care of my dog, and she seems pretty happy whenever I drop her off. They also offer other services like nail clipping, bathing, etc. They will provide food, but I'm not sure if they charge you for that. We always bring our own because of food allergies. There is a vet on premise 24 hours. They raised their prices, which is now $70 a day. Overall, it's a great place to board your dog.
I have been kenneling my dogs with Blue Ribbon Acres for more than 20 years and absolutely recommend them. They have added daycare and grooming to their services and my Lab puppy loves his daycare days. The staff truly love dogs and I feel so comfortable knowing my fur baby is well cared for when I'm at the office or traveling.
Like most dog moms, I am very particular about the care of my dog and it pains be to be away from them. Yet Blue Ribbon is the ONLY place I would consider boarding my dogs. They are out more than 5 times/day in yards with trees and grass where they only play with other dogs if it’s safe and appropriate. The owner is hands-on with decades of experience not only in running a kennel but successfully training and showing dogs. I know my dogs are getting the best care!
Just outside of Fairfax County! I love this place or more accurately, my dog LOVES this place. Jennifer and her team do a bang up job of taking care of my active 1+ year old doberman. They also make it very easy for my busy lifestyle as they provide curb service for the pooch, both picking him up and dropping him off for an additional charge. Our dog enjoys it so much that he jumps into the van when it arrives...which sometimes makes me feel that we aren't good enough parents. The farm has a large fenced area where the dogs can play outside and they always give him a bath before returning him to us. I wouldn't board him anywhere else for an extended period of time. We found Blue Ribbon through the recommendation of a neighbor and since that time, have found a number of other folks that use the service. I have never heard a single complaint about Blue Ribbon except for the occasional disappointment about how much the dogs enjoy the place!
I can’t say enough about Blue Acres! Our golden doodle, Yeti, tried a few others to no avail. He would pull on his leash to go back to the car. When we pull in here his tail says it all! The staff is fantastic! Worth the drive. :)
I love this place ! (and so does my dog) It is a bit out of the way, but well worth it. My dog comes back much happier than he does from any other kennel and I never worry about what they do with him there - at other kennels he has come back a little leery of people, even me, and that worries me. He gets lots of interaction and positive reinforcement here. Love them!
Best pet hotel in DC area. Jennifer and her team take great care of our furry friends.
We love BRA. They take such great care of our dog when we are away.
Fantastic kennel- clean, modern. The staff is very professional and friendly. The dogs love it.
