Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

Jordan & Nataki
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!

Francesco
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!

Misti
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!

Lilly & Thomas
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Gwynn
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

Courtenay
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle

Wendy
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.

Julian & Susan
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Julie
Kate was an absolute dream and was the best pet sitter I could have possibly asked for! Kate was extremely trustworthy, communicative, and reliable, and provided frequent updates while I was away. She left my apartment spotlessly clean and even took the initiative to fix my wobbly towel bar. Finally, Kate took excellent care of my cat Daisy and I came home to a happy and content cat! Kate was amazing all around and I would be thrilled to have her sit for me again at any time. Thanks for everything!
Whittier
Abby was truly the best pet sitter we've ever had. We were never concerned or worried about the care of our pups and home. All the neighbors have told me that the dogs looked happy on the many walks. She sent videos of photos about every other day. We hope that Abby will stay in our home next summer as well. Abby is very highly recommended by our whole family, including the dogs!!!

Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.
Samantha and Dan
Kelly and Chris are lovely people and we loved having them at the house! They were very engaged from the start, asking questions and wanting to know all the details on our pets. We were completely comfortable going away and didn’t worry during our trip knowing our kiddos were in such great hands. K & C gave us pics & updates as requested, and we loved seeing our pets have such a good time with them! They left the house in as good or better shake as it was found, laundering and folding linens and tidying up so well we could hardly tell they stayed here! They were communicative before the sit, during, and after. Kelly and Chris were the ideal sitters in every way. We’d welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to others. Thanks you two!
Chris
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Evelyn & Jeff
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.
Bonnie
Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
Megan
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
Mona
David was an outstanding house/pet sitter for our active pup Tosha, older kitty Rascal, and 4 chickens. Rascal came home with a deep, gaping wound the day before we left for 11 days, and David was very responsible in monitoring the healing process with photos and texts to us. He exercised Tosha in the neighborhood and local parks, and obviously enjoyed her company. Our house was spotless and extremely neat when we got home, which is always welcoming after a long trip. We are very grateful for the excellent care David gave to our precious pets and home.

Wonderful place for your furry family member! Ours is an Australian Cattle Dog rescue that entered our busy and noisy suburban neighborhood with many noise anxieties! We go for daycare and boarding. Spending time outside with doggy friends in the safe environment at Sugar Maple Farms has reduced his anxieties - and we are very thankful!
Our dog Zoe spent three weeks overnight at Sugar Maple Farm. We could not be happier with the love and support that Jennifer and her family provided for our pup while we were out of town. She was treated like part of the family and was never alone at any time. They treated her like she was part of the family and we never once had any concerns about her care. We received frequent update and pictures of Zoe playing with new friends and having so much fun. We feel like we found a great place to leave our dog when we embark on future trips. Sugar Maple Farm is the best and I highly recommend anyone thinking about outstanding care for the pets to consider this awesome place for their furry loved ones.
We have boarded our beagle-mix dog at Sugar Maple K9 Boarding twice now (the first time for a long weekend and the second for a 10 day trip) and both times have been great! Jennifer and her family do an amazing job looking after the dogs that are staying with them. The dogs have lots of room to play and run around in their back garden area and in their house. Jennifer was very responsive and the booking process was easy. We enjoyed getting updates with pictures throughout our dog's stay and it always looked like the dogs were having a great time together. It was also really nice to do the meet and greet before our dog's first stay to make sure it was a good fit for everyone. We had great peace of mind leaving our dog at Sugar Maple. If we could rate it 10 out of 5 stars we would! Thank you, Jennifer!
Sugar Maple K9 is the best! Our dog, Sam, was no longer a good fit for big box daycare and does better in a smaller, less busy atmosphere. We stumbled across Sugar Maple K9 online and are so glad we did! Jennifer and her family have taken such good care of Sam during his stays, and we always have peace of mind that he is comfortable and well cared for in their home. Jennifer sends great updates and pictures throughout his boarding stays and he always looks happy. We make the hour-long drive from DC, and it’s totally worth it knowing the quality of care he gets at Sugar Maple K9.
My husband and I boarded our two German Shepherds with Jennifer at Sugar Maple Farm for a week while we went on vacation. Our dogs are super sweet but can be a bit of a handful at times, so we are very conscientious about where we board them. I can't say enough great things about Jennifer, Dan, and their family. After our meet and greet with Jennifer and her dog Aurora, we felt the home-like atmosphere would be a great fit for our dogs. During the week of boarding, Jennifer provided us with plenty of updates on how our dogs were doing and sent lots of pictures and videos of all the dogs playing and enjoying their time. I'm so happy we decided to give Sugar Maple a try and will definitely be going back! Our dogs got tons of love and I even think they miss being there! Thanks so much for a great experience!
Jennifer and her family are great with our dogs. We use Sugar Maple for overnight stays and the dogs get to see horses and sheep and play outdoors and then are well cared for in their crate. The Sugar Maple interview involves interaction with their female German Shepherd, who is a good judge of temperament and she interacted with our two English Pointers well. Mostly they said hello to each other and went about what each dog wants to do. If you have an untrained, spoiled or aggressive dog, this is not the place for you. Sugar Maple has a number of day care guests, and they all get along, which is important. The best review is from the dogs themselves. On the second stay, they got excited when they realized where they were going, and Jennifer asked them to come inside her outdoor pen, and they marched right in off the leash. No whining or missing us. We call Sugar Maple their “camp.” They love their camp and they love returning home.
Sugar Maple Farm K9 Boarding and Day Care was recommended to me from a conversation I had at a Petco in Falls Church. I was hesitant about bringing my puppy to a boarding kennel for 5 days that would have him sleeping in a crate and not getting much exercise. Driving out to Aldie was a breath of fresh air for what I was looking for. The farm is beautiful and has 12 acres with fenced in pastures the dogs can run around in. Jennifer, the owner, allows in a handful of dogs to stay at a time and they are allowed to sleep in the house on their dog beds. Meeting Jennifer and her family left me with no hesitations and I was 100% confident my dog was would be safe and have an enjoyable time while I was gone. Getting sent daily pictures were also which were a nice touch. I will definitely be using them again and I have been recommending Sugar Maple Farm to anyone looking for something other than the conventional kennel boarding facilities. The drive out from DC is worth it knowing your dog is in great hands when you are away.
Sugar Maple Farm is such a gem, especially for those fur parents who are nervous about boarding their pet like we were. The family treats your dog like their own, sends you updates during their stay, and is so responsive and reliable. The first meet-and-greet put us at such ease and we knew that our dog would be in good hands with plenty of play time outside and in. I highly recommend Sugar Maple Farm!
I absolutely love taking my little fur baby to Sugar Maple Farm. Jennifer and family have truly been a blessing for us with our shepherd mix puppy. They treat him like one of their own. It gives him the social time, exercise and supervision that he needs as a puppy. Something I cannot do working a full-time job. Plus I found it more cost effective for him to go to SMF all day versus having a dog walker, for 30 minutes a day during the week. Less time cooped up and more energy expelled with other dogs/humans....happy you’re owner and dog!
Loved the fact the our dogs were not put in cages while staying at Sugar Maple overnight. I'm sure it helped to not traumatize our dogs for a week long stay away from us for the 1st time ever. My dogs loved it so much, and you could tell they wanted to say good by to the people at SM before they hopped into the car. Totally recommend this place if your dogs like to be social!

After discovering Pam and her fantastic operation many years ago, we have boarded several dogs (Boxer, Stafordshire Terrier, Plott Hound, Doberman) from 1 to 8 days. They are always happy as soon as we turn in the driveway. Always happy when we pick up. The last time we left our Dobie he was very hinky, timid, and subdued when we picked up. Had a bad feeling. Been planning a trip for 3 weeks and have called at least 2 or 3 times each week. Nobody answers and there is no answering service. Not sure if the kennel is still in operation.
Our dog is excited when she arrives and is happy and seems well cared for when we pick her up. We get our dog groomed during most visits and feel Fursman Kennels does an excellent job, especially with nails. Highly recommend this kennel.
My dog is treated very well here. He recognizes the driveway and gets excited as soon as we turn in. Most groomers can't take care of my dog's nails. The ladies here have no problem with him. I feel confident leaving my older GSD in the care of the staff at Fursman Kennels.
Outstanding service every time! Pam & her family take care of our dog, Lindsey, like royalty with every visit!
