Dog Boarding Blachly

“Maddy is the best sitter! She was so welcoming to Milo and took such good care of him! He came back happy, healthy and clearly having had a blast with Maddy and her family. Would absolutely rebook!”

“My dog was well cared for and enjoyed playing with Amanda and Matthew’s dogs. He liked the attention he receives from them and was tired after returning home. I appreciated the photos, videos, and updates about my dog while he was in their care. Great experience overall.”

“Rosie was a happy camper. Diane took good care of her while we were in the Eugene area for a wedding. We would certainly come back if in the area again.”

“Dylan was a wonderful dog sitter for Skittles!! We will absolutely use Dylan again. Thank you so much for giving Skittles so much love and sending updates regularly.”

“Susana was fabulous with Daisy! I received daily updates with a sweet photo of how she was doing including lots of walks and cuddling. Susana is well versed in dog behavior so she was able to comfortably have Daisy along with a couple of other dogs and monitor their behavior closely during her stay. Daisy was well cared for and seemed very happy during her stay. I would absolutely book Susana again!”

“Thor was amazing with my cat while I was on a long vacation. Made sure he took his daily meds and I got regular photo updates! He was also very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake in my booking and asked to a drop-off later in the day. I recommend Thor very highly.”

“From previsit introduction through his 4 day stay with Tracy our beloved dog was happy and so were we. Tracy shows how much experience and rapport she has with dogs in the ways she greeted our dog, gradually introduced him to her own pets, and in the update photos she forwarded to us. A great experience for us all.”

Judy L.

“Teresa was fabulous, on all levels. Knowing that Remy was been taking care of and having a great time made my vacation more relaxing. Teresa made it a vacation stay for the pup, walks, parks, new experiences - he obviously had a great time. I will definitely use Teresa again.”

“Jonathan took great care of our dog while we went away for 4 weeks. We received many pictures and messages. Jonathan is very reliable and dependable. He was very patient and kind with our dog. I recommend Jonathan for boarding and daycare.”

“Hope is an awesome sitter. She has a friendly dog of her own and a nice spot to host. She provided excellent care and communication throughout the stay.”

About: I have spent my life as a pet owner and I like to treat everyone's animals the way I would like mine to be treated. I have, at one time or another, owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, rabbits, snakes, rats, goats, horses, and chickens and am comfortable caring for many more. I know this site is mostly limited to dog and cat care, but I'm happy to pet sit anything. I am happy to care for pets either in my home or in yours and I'm very flexible regarding my schedule. Every day I care for my own household animals, and I'm more than capable of taking care of plenty more. My animals include 3 dogs of varying sizes, two cats, a parrot, and an aquatic turtle. Though I have plenty of experience with other animals as well. I'm happy to either host animals in my home or venture to pets in their own homes. I believe that my job in caring for a person's pets is to adhere to their wishes for their pets. I want to follow the expectations set for any individual animal. I love to lavish animals with love and affection, but that isn't the right approach for every animal and I need to respect the wishes of their humans within the scope of safety.

“Jennifer & Josh provided excellent care for Artie for two nights in December 2021. Artie is a 6 mo. old terrier. He is a wild man, lots of energy, very curious & he has a lot to learn. Artie hadn't played with more than one or two dogs at a time, or spent a night away from us before his visit. All dogs have to be assessed for good temperament/lack of aggression before you can make a reservation. Artie's 'meet & greet' was about two weeks before our vacation. Josh met us in the driveway, then we walked into the backyard with Artie & let him off leash. Slowly, other dogs came out to meet Artie. Before I knew it, Artie was running around, getting to know the other dogs and starting to play. We felt very confident leaving Artie with them, knowing that he was safe there. Jennifer & Josh provide 24/7 care and observation. They also helped Artie learn how to successfully play with a group of dogs. Their home and backyard are a dog paradise. So not only was Artie well cared for, he had lots of fun. Based on the photos & videos we received during his stay, Artie will be very excited to stay with them again.”

About: Whenever I have taken care of a friend or neighbors pets they have always been satisfied. I will always treat your pet with kindness and patience. I am recently retired and I have open availability. Most of the time I am available on short notice and I understand that emergencies happen where you don’t have time to pre book. Serving the Tidewater area. I will follow your instructions to the letter. I will not leave your pet unattended in the yard. I will always use a lead when walking.

“Valerie took such great care of my two kitty boys! She was truly amazing with them and also with me - sending photos frequently along with updates. She answered my questions and special requests to make sure Izzy was peeing first day. I was able to go visit them as well. Her home is clean and neat. When we arrived to her special room for kitties for drop-off day, it was so welcoming and all set up for two cats. I felt so welcomed. I will have to replicate some of the beds and carpet she has for them, they loved them so much. There is a big, secure catio with kitty door for those cats with indoor-outdoor preferences; it has a whole wooden structure in it for them to climb or be up high or down on the ground. Valerie gave my boys lots of loves and playtime/laptime. Milo "helped" her with paperwork (ahem). She is calm and warm and loving. When I visited, they were so calm. Izzy was hesitant at first, hiding under the bed, but by day 2 he was ready to get rubs and playtime. She even plays soothing kitty t.v./music for them. I 100% recommend Valerie and her set-up. She also invited me for a meet and greet before booking. I am so grateful for Valerie taking care of my cats while I traveled and looked for a rental.”

About: I've raised 2 puppies who spent their whole life with me. I've adopted 1 rescue and 1 senior. They have had health issues (particularly the rescue and senior) so I'm familiar with some of the early and intermediate signs. We are now at a point in our lives where we want to still spend time with dogs, but we aren't looking for the 24/7 commitment. So we would like to host your furry baby for a night or a weekend and give him all the joy of a good friendship without the kennel experience of a dog hotel. We will be taking on pet care Friday thru Sunday. We may be able to support an emergency during the week, but since we both work full time, that would mean I would need to work from home for a day (which is pawsible with notice). However, it would not be our preferred schedule. We want to spend time with your dogs playing and relaxing - not just leaving them in an unfamiliar space while we are at the office. We are looking for day or overnight services on the weekends when we are free and planning to be home. We would expect you to bring enough food and medication to last their expected stay plus 1 day (in case of unforeseen circumstances). Then leave the rest to us. We will give regular bathroom breaks and play times (no yard), much love and pets and be vigilant about your recommended food/medicine. We do not look forward to creating your animal. So we expect at least one of us (husband or wife) to be home at all times and we expect your dog to be housebroken.

“Christina was accommodating and provided a great place for Duke to stay! Very thankful!”

About: I have always loved animals! I have grown up with dogs and cats in my house my whole life and cared for them. I have dog sat, taken dogs on walks, volunteered at shelters, etc! I have always loved animals and I am passionate about taking care of them. I am a licensed teacher getting my masters online, so I have lots of time to take care of pets on weekdays and weekends and am available most times! I have a medium sized house with a private room, another friendly small dog, and a great neighborhood to take dogs on walks and a small yard.

“Mari and Steve and family are marvelous! Our pups love visiting them, and we feel so lucky that they have a safe and loving place to be while we are gone.”

“Ellie was great with Bean. She was very communicative and asked questions upfront to make sure that Bean would be well cared for. Ellie provided multiple pictures and I could tell that my pup was having a blast with her. Thank you so much!”

“Julie is amazing. I would definitely recommend her for pet sitting needs. After our initial meet and greet I was confident we could leave our two small dogs with her. Our pups were well cared for and happy. She even sent them home with a little treat bag. So glad we found Julie on Rover.com”
