Dog Boarding Albemarle

“We had to find a dog sitter on very short notice, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! They were incredibly accommodating, responsive, and made the entire process stress-free. Our dog had an absolute blast and came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that he received lots of attention, playtime, and love while we were away. We truly appreciated the flexibility and kindness, and we would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Michael, Emily and their kiddos did a great job caring for our 3 yr old bernadoodle. Daisy loved her time with them. She got to go on walks, play ball, take care of rides and chilled with the family. It was a great experience for everyone. Will definitely book with Emily and Michael again.”

“Arleen was very engaged and active with Loki from our first get to know you meeting to his week long stay. She was attentive to his dietary, sleeping and play needs. She walked Loki daily and took him on outings. He was well taken care of and we will definitely have her take care of Loki again! I think Loki has missed her since coming home!”

“Kathy was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. When I travel, its usually hectic and she was able to let me drop of 30 minutes early. She sent tons of photos and updates. Allowed my boys to have tons of playtime with her dogs. They went right to sleep once we got home. Very happy with how she treats them.”

About: We’ve both loved animals since childhood, and for nearly 15 years, we had the privilege of caring for two rescue dogs we brought home from Korea. Over the years, we cared for them through surgeries, illnesses, and their senior years. They had very different personalities and needs, and we learned how important it is to understand each dog and care for them as individuals - with patience, attention, and plenty of love. We’ve since said goodbye to both of our beloved dogs after long, happy lives. While we aren’t quite ready to adopt again, we miss having dogs around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. We offer a calm, comfortable home where your dog will be treated like one of our own. We also only board dogs from one household at a time, allowing us to give your pets our full attention without the stress of unfamiliar dogs sharing their space. We’d love to welcome your dogs into our home and give them the same patience, affection, and personalized care we gave our own. Our routine allows us to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout your dog’s stay. One of us works from home and is here nearly all day during the week, so your dog will have someone around for most of the day. We keep a comfortable, relaxed routine with regular opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. We’re also attentive to each dog’s individual schedule and will do our best to maintain the routines they’re accustomed to at home. On weekends, we have a few occasional commitments, but we plan our schedule carefully and will never leave your dog alone for more than about three hours at a time on the days or evenings when we’re away. Our goal is to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time safely, along with a comfortable home environment where they can relax and settle into their own routine. We also have a crate available for dogs who are comfortable being crated or whose owners prefer that arrangement. When we need to leave the house, we have a dedicated, small space that is free of potential hazards where your dog can stay safely and comfortably until we return. We understand that every dog is different, so we’ll follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, sleeping arrangements, and other care needs.

“Monica and her family took care of Loki like he was their own pet. They paid attention to every little detail, kept us updated with frequent messages and photos, and made sure we always knew how he was doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Loki was in such safe and caring hands. We really appreciate how well they looked after him and would definitely recommend Monica!”

“Stacey was awesome for our dog’s weekend stay! She sent updates and pictures daily and he seemed to have a great time playing with the other dogs in her spacious backyard play space. She was extra accommodating when our travel plans made us a couple hours late to for pick up and we really appreciated that we knew Dug was in good hands! Thank you Stacey!”

Nicole G.

“Steve and Brittany did such a great job watching Finn! You can tell Finn loved his time there. Finn really enjoyed being able to play in their huge fenced in yard with Anakin. We will definitely rebook in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 8. My first dog was a very picky and persnickety Shih Tzu named Igor. I worked at a pet store retailer as a dog bather and have lots of experience with different dog breeds and all different coat types. I worked for Hollywood feed, where I learned a lot about pet nutrition and pet allergies. I pet sat for my neighbors while in school, they have two King Charles Cavaliers. One of which was diabetic. I have experience giving subcutaneous injections such as insulin as well as check blood sugar levels for dogs. Currently do not have a job, lost it due to unfortunate circumstances. I’m in the process of moving back home and searching for a job. Currently have a lot of free time to care for your furry children. This may change when I find steady employment. Currently moving back to my parents house. They have one dog, a Shih Tzu named Iggy. Super cute and eyelashes better than mine. I have two cats, Phantom and Azula, they are 2 and 1 year old. They generally sleep in my bed room. I also have a Border collie named Goose who can keep your high energy dog company. Goose is 10 months old right now. I also have a rabbit, Fawkes, he has his own space and generally does not interact with other animals. Fawkes has been around cats and is good with them. The house has a yard but is not fenced in. Lots of places to go on walks. More than willing to come to your home to let pets out, feed, walk or play with them.

About: With me your dog will have lots of wags and a friend to keep him/her busy while you are away. My motto is a “tired puppy is a happy puppy”, and that’s what I bring to every pet experience - a calm approach, energetic play, a lazy nap, or a mixture of all of it depending on your pets needs. Almost 10 years experience dog-sitting has taught me to be aware & respectful of a dog’s boundaries with other animals, and aware of a dog’s need for rest and play to stay happy! Dog’s in my care at my home will have a fenced in yard & will be kept clean, safe, and busy. The best care for your pet is a familiar face, so I hope to build long-term pet-sitter confidence. I work from home & I only take small dogs who are friendly towards other dogs. No cats or children in my home. I currently work fully remote & have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood so I have regular breaks to play with your pet outside. I have a 12lb doxie who loves other small dogs. As an experienced dog owner & sitter, I always introduce dogs outside for the first meeting. I listen to your dog’s specific care needs & requests. I always communicate on how your pet is doing & can answer questions as they come up so you can be at ease knowing your pet is receiving the best care in my home.

“Karen did an absolutely amazing job caring for Bucky! From the moment we met her, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and dependable she is. She treated Bucky like her own, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Her updates gave us complete peace of mind, and we could tell Bucky was relaxed and content in her care. It’s not easy to fully trust someone with your pet, but Karen exceeded every expectation. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and exceptional sitter.”
