Heading away, or working late? Your dog stays at home, where they are happiest, and we come to them. We have been dog sitting across Arlington since 2012, with drop in visits, overnight stays and in home boarding, and every sitter is background checked, bonded and insured.




No contracts. Every new client starts with a free meet and greet.
Licensed, bonded & insured, with background checked team members and hundreds of happy Arlington families.
You get a GPS tracked route on every walk, so you are never left wondering.
We match your pet with a regular carer they know and trust, not a different stranger each time.
Drop in visits start at $30 a visit. Overnight sitting from 5pm to 9am is $100, and in home boarding is $120 per 24 hours. Holiday weekends are an extra $25, each additional pet is an extra $50, and there are no contracts.
