Dog Boarding Buckland

“Leslie is guaranteed the best sitter within the DMV area. She has transformed her home into a dog’s luxury resort, complete with total attentiveness, ultimate amenities, and activities that a dog could only dream of. In addition to all of that, her communications are fantastic and Cash is always so excited to arrive at Ms. Leslie’s and never ready to leave. I’ve never had such peace of mind leaving Cash if/when I have to be out of town.”

“Jaime looked after our dog, Lucky, for a month, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the care he received. Lucky was in great hands—well-fed, exercised, and comfortable the entire time. Jaime made sure to send regular updates and photos, which reassured us that Lucky was in great hands. Lucky fit right in with Jaime's family, getting along great with her two daughters and husband. They were all incredibly welcoming and kind, treating Lucky like he was part of their family. Overall, Jaime did a fantastic job, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dogsitter.”

“Humphrey absolutely loves staying with Ashley, Todd and their family! He is so well looked after, great communication throughout his stays and Humphrey comes home very happy! Feel really relaxed being able to leave him in such a lovely environment.”

“Jill was an incredible sitter for our week-long trip with Muffin. She kept us updated daily with sweet photos and messages, and even hopped on FaceTime with us twice so we could see him and know he was doing well — that kind of communication made being away so much easier. What really stood out was how she handled an unexpected situation during our trip. Without hesitation, she made sure Muffin got the care he needed and stayed by his side the whole time, going well above and beyond what we ever expected from a sitter. Her calm, caring, and responsible approach gave us total peace of mind. We can't recommend Jill enough — she's attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, including adopted and rescue animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have special experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets. I adopted a very elderly, sick dog who required frequent medication and attentive daily care, and I also cared for my cat through medical needs that required consistent medication. I’m currently a devoted dog mom to Graci, a two-year-old Labrador, and a proud grandmom to Zoey, a two-year-old mini Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix. Caring for animals has given me hands-on experience with walks, feeding routines, playtime, medication schedules, close supervision and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that rescue animals and senior pets may need additional patience, consistency and time to build trust. I’m also a retired federal professional known for being dependable, observant and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and your home—is a very personal decision. I will follow your instructions carefully, communicate consistently and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Important Booking Policies & Rates 🐾 Please review my standard hours and specialized rates before booking: * Extended Daycare Policy: My standard daycare rate covers up to 10 hours of care. Any daycare stay that exceeds 10 hours will automatically be upgraded to my Boarding Rate for that day. * Puppy Care Fee: Because puppies require extra attention, frequent potty breaks, and constant supervision, a +$15 puppy fee applies per day/visit for any dog under 1 year old. This fee applies to all Daycare, Boarding, and Dog Walking requests. Note: Rover automatically calculates the puppy rate for some services, but if it doesn't apply correctly to your request, I will manually modify the total to reflect these policies before finalizing the booking. Thank you for understanding! “Continuing my professional development” sounds more natural and polished than “pursuing additional courses.” I’m currently taking a professional break while continuing my professional development, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pet with attentive, loving care. I’m home much of the day and can easily accommodate feeding, playtime, medication, cuddles, and your pet’s normal routine. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. I have one friendly Labrador who gets along well with other dogs and can be crated or kept separately if needed. My neighborhood is great for safe, leashed walks, and I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines.

“Sheetal was awesome watching our dog while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with texts photos and videos of our dogs progress and activities. AAA+ rating.”

“Mike and his family were excellent in watching Gertie, who had never been boarded before. They made her feel at home and their own two dogs helped keep her not only entertained but her mind at ease while we were gone! We received countless updates and photos during her stay and Mike was very responsive when answering questions about the boarding process and coordinating for pickup/drop off. Would easily recommend them as well as use again in the future.”

Chris K.

“Tracie was able to watch Flurry at the last minute. She was super responsive, sent us photos and videos, and kept us up to date while he was with her. Her family made Flurry feel at home and we knew he was in great hands. Highly recommend and we will use her again!”

Elizabeth and Brett S.

“The experience was great for our dog. Michaela and Austin were pleasant and stayed in communication. It’s like our dog was on vacation with some dog friends. Will definitely use the service again!”

Tiffany S.

“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”

Karmen G.

“My furkids were so happy with Rachel, they didn't want to go home. She sent pictures and videos daily to keep me updated. Happy dogs and reasonable prices, will definitely use Rachel again.”

Mary H.

“Excellent experience. Very caring and loving home and feedback was given daily. It was as if my dogs were living at home. I highly recommend her.”

Michael L.

“Ashley and her family took great care of our cat MJ! The pictures Ashley sent of MJ having fun makes us smile and laugh. We have to ask ourselves, “is that our cat?” because MJ is so comfortable and out going with Ashley and her family. Ashley - thank you for the great care you give to MJ!”

About: What sets me apart is how much care and attention I give to every pet I look after. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to give pets plenty of playtime, attention, walks, and cuddles. I also make sure to follow each owner’s instructions and keep them updated so they can feel at ease while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they get the attention and care they need. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, playtime, and feeding so each pet can stay as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m dependable and flexible, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention while their owner is away. I have a very open and pet-friendly home where pets have plenty of space to move around, play, and feel comfortable. I want every pet to feel safe and at home while they’re staying with me. I’m happy to give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while also making sure they have time to relax. I’ll follow each pet’s normal routine and any special instructions from their owner so they receive the same loving care they’re used to at home.

“Awesome folks! Can’t say enough about how caring and genuine they are. Charlie had his own vacation while we were done! We’ll book again for sure.”

Sheila S.

“Ali was fantastic with my dog, Scrappy. Communication was great and she accommodated changes to my schedule. Ali always replied quickly and sent daily updates and pictures. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in such good hands!”

Lauren B.

“Last minute booking. Walter is super friendly and met us last minute to see how our dogs would interact. He kept our dogs for the weekend and sent tons of pictures and kept an open line of communication. Our dogs seem to love their stay! This is our first Rover experience!! Walter made it a great one!”

Cathy C.

“Stephanie is an absolute lifesaver and a truly wonderful person! She cared for our dog, Rex, with so much genuine love and dedication. Every single day, she provided immense peace of mind by sending over 10 photos twice a day and constantly staying in touch in real-time. We always knew exactly how Rex was doing and could see just how happy and comfortable he was in her care. What our family is most grateful for, however, is her incredible flexibility and kindness. Due to a sudden and unexpected schedule change, we had to extend Rex's stay by two whole weeks. Stephanie accommodated this massive change so graciously and willingly, taking a huge weight off our shoulders during a stressful time. If you need a reliable, highly communicative, and incredibly loving sitter, look no further. We cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough and will absolutely be reaching out to her again! Thank you so much, Stephanie!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover for as long as I can remember. Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my three senior pups, Molly, Kodi and Abby over the last year. It’s been too quiet without them and I miss having them around to love and care for. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide your pets with plenty of attention, affection, and dependable care while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate your schedule and your pet(s) needs. I’m happy to welcome your pets into my home or make visits to your home so they can remain in their familiar surroundings. I have a big fenced-in back yard if you choose the boarding option. I can also bring them over to my house for the day as well. I’ll care for your pets with the same kindness and attention I’ve always given my own. I do have a very flexible schedule which allows me to provide for your pet(s) needs in your home or mine. Transportation available upon request. I have a safe and private fenced-in back yard in a cul de sac. I also have experience with senior dogs who might need medications.

“Lydia was amazing with my Boston Terrier, Donna! She treated Donna like her own, and I loved getting photo updates. I felt completely at ease knowing Donna was in such good hands. Highly recommend Lydia for any pet sitting needs!”
