Jeannette was the absolute best pet sitter anyone could ask for! She was communicative and easy going. She took very good care of the house, but most importantly she took superb care of my dog, Bodhi. She took him on long walks and fun adventures everyday. While I was out of the country, I received pictures and updates of their "vacation". I loved seeing Bodhi's and Jeannette's smiles in all the photos. They definitely bonded. :) I would highly recommend Jeannette as a pet sitter and also as an excellent person who cares about people, animals, and the planet.
Kelly was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter! Our dog Cooper adored her. She sent us pictures several times a day and he was always snuggling with her. She kept in touch with us regularly. We have never left our baby before and we were anxious about it but we ended up feeling totally comfortable with Cooper in Kelly’s care. She also kept our potted plants alive during a heat wave and took great care of the house. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Carolina was a fantastic Pet sitter. From the beginning, it was straightforward to communicate with her. She met us before we left our trip and ensured she understood all the house and pet logistics. Luna and Cal were very comfortable with her and were best friends with her fast. She was very affectionate with them, and Luna and Cal loved her and were very happy with her. Carolina was very responsive and sent updates. She was really lovely and easy to communicate with. She was very respectful of our space and very tidy. She even washed the sheets and towels she used even when she didn’t need to. She put a lot of care into caring for Luna and Cal, and they looked very comfortable with her. Having Carolina as a pet sitter made our trip very easy, knowing our pets were cared for so well. We would love to have her back to sit for us again and highly recommend her.
We were so happy to have Kyle as our house sitter for two weeks. Besides taking great care of our pets and our house, he was very accommodating. We were always able to get in touch with him if we needed to, and he agreed to take on some extra plant watering’s when the weather made a sudden change. As a bonus, he is very likable and communicative. We would definitely have him come again.
Elaine was a welcomed sitter for Cyrus and Purrelli. I returned from holiday to find a very content relaxed dog and a happy fat cat. Purrelli doesn’t eat when he is stressed so seeing a little meat on him let me know he was content and happy :) My condo was left clean and in order, all communications were smooth and there was zero issues. Thx for the great pet care Elaine.
Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!
Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)

As Always, The Loudoun Pet Sitting Company met and exceeded all expectations ! Each and every one are remarkable - from Amanda in Admin to Selena who stayed overnight and Kristin and Sarah who came three times daily in the scorching June heat to care and love our three big dogs and our three Siamese ! We are so grateful ! You Are Genuinely THE BEST EVER !
We've been using Loudoun Pet Sitting for a few years now and never had a problem. Our dog Stella is not a fan of us going out of town-- but she does really well with this company. Heather is her favorite! Highly recommend!
April was fantastic with our two high energy dogs while we were on vacation. She was really caring, provided great updates and took exceptional care of our dogs. She went above and beyond what we could have expected. We will definitely use them again in the near future. I would definitely recommend April to anyone who asks.
We absolutely love Loudoun Pet Sitting Company! We have been using them for about a year and half to walk our lovable chocolate lab who needs a lot of exercise and physical activity. April is our regular dog walker and we are so grateful for her; she is the best! She takes Reilly on power walks which he loves. Her and Reilly have a great bond and he eagerly waits for her by the door in the morning and greets her with a toy in his mouth. She is punctual, courteous and so personable. Everyone that has come to walk him has been so friendly and professional. We are so glad to have found them!
Loudoun Pet Sitting has been invaluable to us over the past several years! They are an amazing, kind and loving team of doggie caregivers! They, including April, reliably cared for our 2 older girls (until they passed) with multiple visits, walks, overnight sitting and administering numerous medications. Since the arrival of our puppy last February, April has lovingly cared for her and my son's puppy many times, including overnight sitting. April is always quick to respond, works hard and is flexible to meet any scheduling needs! She is dependable, kind, caring and we know our sweet pups are getting the best care ever!
I have used Loudoun Pet Sitting for almost a year now and am so thankful to have a friendly and reliable pet sitter to care for our two sweet pups. We absolutely love April, she is phenomenal with our pups, but everyone we have met at LPS has been wonderful. They have a variety of services available at reasonable rates. I would highly recommend them for both daily walks, boarding, and in-home pet sitting!!
Our green cheek conure loves April! We really appreciate knowing that he has bonded with his pet sitter and that we can travel without worry.
I really enjoy the ease of the Time to Pet app that LPSC uses. And the dog walker, April, is so sweet and loving to my furbaby. It took awhile to find a great pet walking service in western Loudoun but I think I found it with LPSC!
I work in animal protection and crisis response so I often have to travel with short notice. I could not be more grateful to have The Loudoun Pet Sitting company looking after my animals. Jane has been our pet sitter and she is amazing! I have many different types of animals from a dog to a turkey that lives in my house! Jane is wonderful with everyone. The hardest thing about my work is leaving my animals, often for weeks at a time. Now that Jane takes care of everyone, I feel some relief when I leave! Since I travel internationally, I need a company and a pet sitter that I can trust and that I know my animals feel comfortable with. The pictures and updates from each visit help while I’m away too! I’ve had some crazy travel situations (especially in the last year with Covid) and the one thing I don’t have to worry about is care for my animals - I couldn’t do the work that I do without Jane and The Loudoun Pet Sitting Company! I highly recommend them!
I’ve trusted Loudoun Pet Sitting Company for the past four years. They have always been able to help me, even if it’s short notice. Lori took very good care of my three cats. Each visit, She sent me a detailed message letting me know how Gus, Mika and Moose were doing. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Lori was taking such great care. I would highly recommend Loudoun Pet Sitting!
My dog has been coming here since 2021 following a recommendation from a friend. Of all the places my dog has been boarded, both here in the USA and abroad, this is hands down the best! The beautiful country locale provides a peaceful location for my pup to stay. While she gets along with other dogs, she isn’t super rambunctious. However, she is always happy to see her friends at Happy Hounds and is relaxed while staying here. She always comes home happy and smiling. The staff are warm, knowledgeable, and clearly care for their charges. My dog remembers each of the staff members and demonstrates with her body language the trust and affection she has for them. Whenever I have traveled and there has been an issue, the staff have always been proactive in letting me know and asking what course of action I wish to take. They have a great vet who comes out and has treated her from time to time, whether to administer a vaccine (while I was traveling for a prolonged period) or for a more acute issue. If your dog enjoys country fresh air, no kennels, and is reasonably social, I don’t think you can do better than Happy Hounds Lodge.
We love Happy Hounds!! We feel so much better leaving our pups in a place where we know they can run and play, and they aren’t stuck in crates or small pens. We have been using them for 5 years and have been very happy with the experience.
Hi! We boarded our dog Grace and then when we got a second dog we boarded Rudy. He came home with green goop in one of his eyes and Grace’s paws were always bright red when she came home. Nobody communicated with us. The worst experience with Happy Hounds was when we had a flight during the Christmas holiday and we drove up to drop off Grace and they told us a flu had broken out within the dogs. Nobody had text or call to let us know. We canceled our flight. If we knew ahead of time then we would have made other arrangements. They need to let clients in the house to see it too. I don’t want my dogs to be a place I can’t see the inside.
Best place ever for your pup! Caring folks who love dogs taking care of your four-legged friend. Lots of area to roam outside and no crates! Our girl loves it!
We feel totally at ease leaving our dog at Happy Hounds. He loves it and comes home exhausted from playing with his friends! These guys are great! Well run business!
The absolute best!! My main man MacArthur (aka brown cow). Loves the staff and the lodge.
My dog always loves it here. He comes back dirtier than a dust bowl hog wash runoff pond, but exhausted and happy.
Beautiful place with a VERY organized team! The dogs are so INCREDIBLY happy, it's HUGE and in the mountains with amazing views, the system they have in place works very well for the happiness and safety of the dogs. They really know what they are doing and they REALLY care about the time and attention and love your animals need from cuddles to, medicine to food mixing to yard play and pack placement. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Our English Springer is so very happy with the team (and the other boarders) at the Happy Hounds Lodge; after trying some other options, we were advised by friends to try out this serene spot in the country and, speaking for all of us, we're done with searching; our spaniel has now stayed at the farm several times for either family weekend trips or up to two week family vacations; warm welcome, very friendly staff, and what seems to be a very loving and comfortable environment for the dogs (& the horses).
We found this place the first time we needed to board our dog 5 years ago, and we've never taken her anywhere else. The staff is great, the dogs have the freedom to run and play. Our dog has a great time anytime we take her, and she always sleeps for a couple of days after. The "Happy Hounds Hangover"! We will never take our dog anywhere else if we can help it.
Great kennel. They truly cared about our dog
Michelle and her kids treat my puppies like they are family. I hate to leave them anywhere but on those few times I have to....kennels at stone leigh is the only place my puppies will ever go! Best place, best care, best care givers!
The second our Golden sees Michelle, she goes nuts and forgets that we exist. Michelle’s whole operation is top-notch, an opinion seconded by our Hailey. Dogs are a great judge of people, and we never have to worry when we know she’s in Michelle’s loving care.
Such a great spot for our pup when we go out of town. #theyreallgooddogs
This is an oasis for our much loved Yellow Lab... The setting is idyllic and the ownership is over the top cool...a family operation and they're all such great people I would never take out dog anywhere else.
Great place! Our dog loves it here.
Very nice caring people my dog was very happy
Nice, friendly, caring and very clean facilities
Personal care for your best friend
