“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Stina, even though she was a pain and went on a bit of a hunger strike. She communicated regularly and in great detail, and always answered questions quickly. She went above and beyond in her care for Stina. I would 100% recommend her.”
“We use Brenda exclusively. She is the best! She sends photos and updates and we always know they are well cared for. Sissy runs in when we get there as if to let everyone know she has arrived. This confirms to me she loves staying with Brenda. I’m so glad we found her.”
“Margaret was wonderful! She took great care of my senior girl and gave her the love and attention she needed while I was away. She was easy to communicate with and provided pictures. I’d definitely book with Margaret again the next time I’m in the area!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember. From a golden retriever, Chocolate lab, Chihuahua to an American Bulldog. We lost our Poe (American Bulldog) several months ago and instead of getting an new pup I want to love yours! I am active and will take your pup on walks and they will get the best care and attention while you’re gone. We have a doggie door so they can get out whenever they need to and be in our enclosed backyard. I currently work from home with lots of flexibility!! I might run to the gym or to the store but your pup will be covered. My husband and I are a team and love animals! We live on 11 acres. So plenty of space to roam with several fenced in kennel areas as well as wide open area to play and run.
“Cory did an excellent job, start to finish. He communicated in a timely and clear manner, was flexible, and sent pictures of our pup every day. Our dog came home happy and exhausted! We will definitely book with Cory again!”
“Marketa was AWESOME! She took great care of Maggie and I would greatly recommend her to anyone who is looking to board their pet in the Lynchburg area. We will definitely use Marketa on our next visit!”
“Reyna is such a great host, she really made it feel like a home away from home for my sweet girl! She sent updates consistently, and I even got a puppy report card letting me know how my pup did during her stay (A+!!) I would very much recommend booking with Reyna, as she will fulfill all of your pups needs to a T!!! Thank you Reyna!!”
“Eleni and her family were amazing!! I left Louis with them for a month and then another week. He came back very happy and was happy to see them when I dropped him off a second time. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I know I can trust Eleni to watch Louis whenever needed!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am! I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds, and I’m happy to help with walking, playing, feeding, brushing, and providing plenty of love and attention. I also have experience administering various types of pet medications, including oral, topical, and ear medications. I’m comfortable following your pet’s specific care routine to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve helped care for the furry family members of friends, relatives, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll do my best to make sure your pets receive the same patience, love, and care I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱❤️ I am currently a full time nursing student, but have availability pretty much anytime after 3pm throughout the week besides Saturday! Please feel free to message if you have any questions! My home offers a calm, low-stimulation environment in a cozy apartment with one resident cat, providing a peaceful space for pets who are comfortable around other cats. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to respect their home, follow their preferences, and maintain their pets’ established routines. I strive to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and owners by providing attentive, reliable care and ensuring each pet’s needs are met efficiently and thoughtfully.

95% of sitters in Alhambra can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alhambra home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alhambra.
