Pet Boarding Aspen Hill

About: I think what sets me apart is that your dog will really become part of our household while they're here. I'm only away at work one day a week, and my wife works from home most days, so someone is usually around. I'm also a registered nurse. So I'm very comfortable, following detailed instructions, keeping schedules, getting medications and noticing when something seems off. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. I've had and cared for dogs since I was a child, so caring for them has been part of my life for more than 25 years. I'm currently working one day a week and at home studying the rest. I'm usually in town most weekends and holidays. Since I'm home so much, it's easy for me to fit in walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding and plenty of attention to your dog into my day. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm happy to stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine. I have a completely fenced-in yard with plenty of space to run around and play, and I don't have any dogs of my own at this time. Dogs will be supervised while outside, and I can crate your dog if that's part of their normal routine. I have tons of Kongs, chew toys, enrichment, games, and treat mats to keep your dog engaged, but I'm also perfectly happy to have a lazy couch potato hanging out with me while I study! I always keep fresh water available and give regular potty breaks. I'll follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Every dog is different, so I'll adjust their activity and care based on their personality, age and energy level. And of course, I'll send you updates and pictures so you know how they 're doing.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life! Over my 25 years, my family has had two Rottweilers, a Pitbull, and a cat, all of whom lived long, loved lives before sadly passing from old age. Today, my family has a Cocker Spaniel, several Yorkies, and two cats, all of whom I absolutely adore! Having cared for everything from large, energetic breeds to smaller dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also experienced caring for pets as they grow older, so I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and adapting to their needs. I recently moved into my own place, and one of the things I miss most is coming home to my family’s dogs and cats. That’s a big part of why I’d love to become a pet sitter! I genuinely enjoy the companionship animals bring, and I’d be thrilled to give your furry family members the same love, attention, and affection I’ve always given my own. I know pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. My goal is to make sure yours feel just as safe, comfortable, and loved with me as they do with you! My schedule is pretty flexible! I typically work from home or close by, which means I can be a very present and attentive sitter rather than leaving your pets alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs regular walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, or just someone to keep them company throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. I’m also open to overnight stays and boarding! Since I live on my own, I have the flexibility to make your pet feel welcome and give them plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! Having grown up caring for several different breeds, including large dogs and smaller companions, I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. That includes following feeding instructions, keeping up with walks and bathroom breaks, providing plenty of affection, and respecting any specific rules or preferences you have. I recently moved into my own place, where I have a fenced yard for your furry friends to safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise! My home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where your pets can relax and receive plenty of individual attention. I’ll always supervise outdoor activities and make sure your pet feels safe and welcome. I also believe communication is incredibly important! I’m more than happy to send regular pictures, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets the way I’ve always treated my own: with love, patience, kindness, and lots of cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!).

“This was our first experience using Rover and leaving our puppy, Zorro, in someone else’s care, and we couldn’t have been happier. He was clearly well cared for, had a great time, and we loved receiving photos and updates throughout his stay. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we even received helpful puppy-parenting tips that we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing Zorro was in such good hands. We will definitely book again and highly recommend!”

“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”

“Our dog Suki had a wonderful first stay with Rebecca. She was very generous with her time ahead of his visit and agreed to meet up twice so he could get used to her. She sent regular pictures and updates during our trip, took him on trail walks, and asked thoughtful questions about his diet. We would definitely book with her again!”
