Pet Boarding Braddock Heights

“Petey loves going to his doggy hotel. He gets excited when we drive into Sandra's neighborhood. He receives lots of loving attention and has other dogs to play with, although Sandra can also accommodate a dog who wants privacy. The Doggie Guard Station has a doggy door to the yard -- important for an elderly gentleman who may not have a lot of advanced warning that he needs to go out. This last stay I had to extend because of illness and Sandra was happy to do so. It's great to have found a place to leave Petey when I go to visit my family. ”

“My pug, Django, loves staying with Linda. He was so excited to see her when we showed up to her place! This is his second stay with her. She’s always kind and friendly and I trust her with our furry little guy. Linda sends lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Linda is definitely our go to Rover <3”

“5/5 Stars – Exceptional Care for Bella! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our sweet Bella during our trip. Dorian was great, responsive from the start, and he sent updates as soon as possible when I requested. Bella came home happy and relaxed. We definitely will book with him again in the future. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Dorian is your person, we highly recommend!”

“Mandie was AMAZING! I 110% recommend her for your pet sitting needs! This was our first time leaving our girl Nova for an extended period of time and she made it the most comfortable experience. She sent pictures and videos daily which eased our mind so much! She is very active with the dogs she watches and her own! She worked on commands with my dog and her home was very dog friendly! We couldn’t have picked a better sitter for our dog Nova!”

“Ashoka and his amazing son watched our toy poodle for several days. I am so impressed at the love and attention they gave our dog . Several walks a day, cuddling, and sleeping together. I will always use them when away!”

About: Hi! My name is Jess, and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand that every pup is unique and deserves personalized love, attention, and care. I specialize in caring for small breeds only, allowing me to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where your dog can feel right at home. Whether they enjoy playing, going for walks, or simply snuggling up for some extra love, I make sure they receive plenty of affection and attention throughout their stay. As a passionate dog lover, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring and experienced hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I am home all day, I can provide consistent attention, companionship, and supervision. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddle sessions, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate their needs and maintain their regular routines throughout their stay. With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every guest. I have a fenced yard and I specialize in small breeds only, which helps ensure comfortable interactions and a stress-free atmosphere. I carefully follow each dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by their owners. My goal is for every dog to feel secure, happy, and treated like a member of the family while they’re in my care.

“When you are attached to your dog is difficult to leave him specifically for 2.5 days. Thank God we found Emily via Rover.com. She was outstanding, patient, loving and caring with our Cisco. She kept us updated of his well being, activities, and gave us a profound peace of mind that our puppy was in good hands. She sent us pictures and videos of Cisco having fun, of what he was doing. He was given plenty of walks and taken to the doggie park everyday. Just what the doctor ordered. Emily was outstanding! Great Job!!!”

David Q.

“Alex and Christina were great to work with! Being a first time dog mom, I had a lot of quaint which they patiently answered for me before the stay. I wanted to make sure I had everything needed to bring to them. Then during the stay, I would get updates, often including a video or picture, so that I knew how Cosmo was doing. I would highly recommend using them and plan to entrust Cosmo with them again in the future!”

Jennifer D.

“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She has a love for dogs that was immediately obvious by the way she interacted with my dog Maestro. I received frequent updates with heart warming pictures and felt connected the entire time. I would 100% recommend and will be rebooking Samantha for any future needs.”

Carlos A.

“It is obvious that Erika loves animals and can cater to any dog's needs. She took on our rambunctious teenage puppy with ease, spoiling her with play and cuddles and updating us routinely with pics of their time together. I’m sure Wexler would love to hang out with auntie Erika again!”

About: Hi, I’m Eileen. I provide gentle, attentive care for small dogs, with a focus on safety, routine, and a calm home environment. My availability is primarily weekends, holidays, and selected weekday evenings, which allows me to give each dog steady, unhurried attention. I tailor care to each pup’s personality, whether that means relaxed walks, light play, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their routine familiar and reassuring. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep bowls and rest areas clean, and send thoughtful updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease. Because I have resident cats, I’m best suited for cat-savvy small dogs. I approach introductions slowly, supervise carefully, and can keep spaces separate when needed. My style is warm, detail-oriented, and intentionally limited in volume, so each dog receives the same thoughtful care I would want for my own pets. 🕰️ Schedule I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays, and I thoughtfully plan my pet care visits around that schedule to ensure each visit is calm, unhurried, and consistent. On weekdays, I offer evening drop-in visits, which tend to be a natural and comforting time for most cats, which is quiet, predictable, and aligned with their evening routines. On weekends and holidays, I’m available between 10am–5pm, with more flexibility to match your cat’s preferred schedule. At home, I care for my own five cats every day, so multi-cat routines, different personalities, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment are already part of my daily life. When I visit your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness—never rushed, always respectful of your cat’s pace and space. I also keep my bookings intentionally limited so each cat receives steady, thoughtful care. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, or medication, I make sure every visit feels consistent and reassuring for both you and your cat. My primary service is caring for cats in their own home, where many feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to doors, windows, lights, and entry routines. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat and home in someone else’s care, so I treat both with great respect and attention. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s personality and your preferences. Some cats want play and affection, while others prefer quiet company and space. I pay close attention to food, water, litter box habits, and any small changes in behavior. After every visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos, videos, and a clear report, so you can feel informed and at ease while you’re away. If I ever care for a cat in my home, I would focus on slow introductions, separated food, close monitoring, and a calm, clean environment. My five resident cats are all up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and I always respect each cat’s pace and comfort level.

“Our dog loved her stay with Lily! She especially loved the big fenced backyard and playing with Lily’s Pomeranian Ted. Lily was wonderful about sending us updates and lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Lily and we are so happy that we found a home away from home for our dog!”

“Mariapaz took a very good care of Kona. She was very responsive all the time and shared photos.”

“I have an older min pin that hasn’t ever been away from me with someone she hasn’t known before. When I brought her over for a visit before the booking, I knew immediately my baby was going to be taken care of and would be safe. I got a bunch of pictures and videos of my baby girl and I could tell she was being taken care of as if it were me. I would recommend Min & Matt to family and friends, which says a ton about the way they took care of her.”

About: Hi, I’m Suzie! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies and energetic younger dogs to sweet seniors. I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual personality, routine, energy level, and needs. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and rest. I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom to a wonderful 2.5-year-old toddler and a friendly standard-size labradoodle, so pets are naturally a big part of my daily life. Being home most of the day allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care for your pet. Our home is filled with activity, play, and love—perfect for pets who enjoy company and a family setting. I work pet care into my daily routine by: • Frequent Potty Breaks & Playtime: Since I’m home, I can let dogs out often and provide outdoor time in my spacious (unfenced) backyard with close supervision. • Walks: I enjoy taking my dog on walks, and I’m happy to bring your pup along for fresh air and exercise. • Indoor Play & Enrichment: Toys, games, and interactive activities are part of our daily routine, keeping pets entertained and engaged. • Naptime & Relaxation: There’s also plenty of quiet time for rest and cuddles—especially during my toddler’s nap time. • Flexible Schedule: My flexible routine allows me to adapt to your pet’s specific needs, whether that means extra outdoor time, medication, or simply extra love and attention. Pets become part of our little family while they’re here, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for throughout their stay! Pet Care Approach: Caring for pets is my passion, and their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home , I strive to create a loving, attentive, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. In My Home: I live in a single-family house with a spacious backyard (not fenced), offering plenty of space for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Since the yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is closely monitored to ensure your pet’s safety. Leash walks are also available for added security. Indoors, pets will have a cozy and clean environment where they can relax and feel at home.

“Karen was great! I was pleased with the care she gave to our pup and also all the updates she would send to us! Will definitely use her again!”

“Buddy was in good hands and slept solidly after his two days of visiting. We will use Darshini and Joseph again in the near future. Thank you for taking care of our Buddy.”

Frank H.

“Michelle was AMAZING with my little girl! I felt completely at ease being away because she truly put her heart and soul into the visit. Will definitely be bringing my girl back for another stay as she had SO much fun and received SO much love!”

About: I have recently relocated to Frederick, Maryland from California after recently retiring & wanting to be closer to family <3 I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits, including senior and special-needs pets and animals requiring medications. I currently have a French Bulldog, four cats, and a rabbit of my own, so caring for multiple animals with different personalities, routines, and needs is part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding and care instructions, providing walks and enrichment, and recognizing changes in an animal’s behavior or health. I’ve also volunteered with animal shelters in both California and North Carolina. I worked as a first responder for almost 14 years, I’m dependable, trustworthy, safety-conscious, and take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pets very seriously. I’m retired with a completely flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be accommodated throughout my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays for boarding, doggy daycare, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I provide a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I have a fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of indoor space, including separate areas when a visiting pet needs their own quiet space away from my animals. I’m experienced with medications, senior and special-needs pets, and will closely follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions. I will treat your animals as if they were my own while I am trusted with their care. As a retired first responder, safety, responsibility, trust, and attention to detail are extremely important to me. 🐶😺🐰🏡🐾

About: I’ve mainly taken care of my own, and close family cats and dogs, but in the recent year or two I’ve helped my friend who uses rover walk dogs. I currently have full availability, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings, recurring schedules, weekends, holidays, and extended stays. I'm flexible, dependable, and committed to providing reliable, attentive care whenever your pet needs me. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and maintain a calm, secure environment. My sister has a cat who is not comfortable around unfamiliar cats, so I am unable to host cats in my home. However, I am happy to provide care for dogs or care for cats in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I will always follow your pet's routine, provide regular updates, and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own.
