Dog Boarding in Callands, VA

“Best. Sitter. EVER. I've tried and been happy (or not) with many boarders, but Jody goes way above and beyond. She's not just knowledgeable and reassuring, she's sweet and kind and will love your fur babies for you. I live in Roanoke, whereas she's in Moneta. But this was such a blessing!! I wanted somewhere Harriet could run and play and feel free and happy. Jody delivers this in a big way- she has several yards of varying sizes with over animals to play with. I kept telling my girl she was going to summer camp, and it turned out to be so true. I don't think she even missed me that much! Please don't let the distance deter you. Jody even offers pickup and drop off services. Harriet gets so anxious going to a boarder's house, but as soon as Jody pulled up, Harriet started wagging her tail and jumped right in her car before I could say goodbye. She's with the dogs all the time- you won't be leaving your pup with someone who leaves them alone. Harriet is very social, and I can tell from just the pictures and videos that her physical, mental, and emotional needs are being met in every way. Please seriously consider Jody- she's phenomenal. I don't really want to tell you this because I want to keep her all to myself, but that would be a gross injustice. She's the best. I won't even consider anyone else again- I'll just move my vacation plans around.”

“Maribel welcomed Rocky into her home and kept him happy and active while he was in her care. Maribel has a farm with lots of room to run, animals to fascinate, and even a river to play in. I could tell from the pictures and Rocky's interaction with Maribel and her family that he was well cared for and had a great time, too. She'll be on top of my list of sitters to reach out to in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Angela, and caring for dogs has been a lifelong passion of mine for over 30 years. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer trip, I offer reliable, compassionate care that lets you travel with peace of mind. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. In fact, dogs are treated more like humans than dogs in my home. They’re truly a gift from God and I want to provide a sense of peace for you, knowing your fur-baby is in good hands. I also understand that each dog is unique—and I take the time to earn their trust and keep them comfortable and happy in your absence. Why I Love Dog Sitting: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and consistency. I love getting to know their personalities and seeing the joy in their tails when they’re relaxed and happy. What I Offer: ~Overnight care & vacation sitting ~Medication administration (oral, topical, injections) ~Senior dog care & puppy support ~Personalized attention based on your dog’s needs & routine My Experience: ✅ 30+ years of hands-on dog care ✅ Comfortable with seniors, puppies, and special needs dogs ✅ Medication admin (oral, topical, injections) ✅ Experience with shy, reactive, and high-energy dogs ✅ Long walks, belly rubs, and lots of love guaranteed If you’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of canine behavior, a calm and gentle presence, and a true love for animals, I’d be honored to care for your dog. As a teacher of 17 years, I'm available full time during the school year for dog boarding in my home. Whether you're heading out for the weekend, traveling for work, or going on a week long vacation, your pup will have a safe, calm, and loving place to stay. Although I am a teacher, I will have an hour and half in the morning to feed, walk, and interact with your pup before heading to work and will be home at 3:20pm for the rest of the day during the school year. After I return home from work, your dog becomes my full focus. I make sure they get plenty of quality time, including a walk, playtime, cuddles, and any care or enrichment they need to get energy out and to wind down happily. Evenings are for connection—whether that’s a long sniffy stroll, interactive games, or simply relaxing together on the couch. I follow your pup’s routine closely and ensure they’re never lacking attention or companionship after a day of rest. To ensure a "pawsitive" experience while I'm away for part of the day, I keep the environment calm, safe, and cozy while I’m gone, and I give your dog all the love and interaction they deserve when I return. Here's a little more about my schedule: School Year (August-May): ~Full-time availability for boarding ~Flexible drop-off and pick-up times ~Weekday and weekend stays welcome School Holidays & Breaks: I remain fully available during school holidays and breaks, with even more time for long walks, enrichment, and personalized attention. Summer (June-July): I remain fully available during my summer brea, with even more time for long walks, enrichment, and personalized attention. With 30+ years of experience, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly environment where your pet can feel relaxed, safe, and at home. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can travel worry-free! With over 30 years of experience, pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While caring for your dog in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and loving environment that helps dogs feel secure and at ease. I have an organized, clutter free, smoke free home in a beautiful neighborhood in Collinsville, VA and have included photos for you to see where your fur-baby would be staying should you choose me as your pet sitter. My home is pet-friendly, safe, and quiet—perfect for dogs who enjoy a cozy, low-stress environment. I don’t have young children (their ages are 20, 16, & 14) or other pets, so your dog will receive one-on-one attention. I carefully introduce new dogs, supervise all interactions, and provide plenty of space for rest and play. Safety Practices: ~Always on-leash outdoors, unless in a securely fenced area ~Regular check-ins with you via photos, snapchat videos, and phone calls as needed ~Administer medications exactly as directed ~Clean, organized, secure spaces with no access to hazards ~Emergency vet contact and pet first-aid knowledge You can trust that your dog will be treated with kindness, patience, and experienced care every step of the way. I want you to feel completely at ease while you're away.

About: If you book with me I can assure you a safe, fun, and nurturing environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and expert attention for your loving animals. Peace of mind for you— paradise and tail wags for them! 💞🐾 I have extensive experience with cats and dogs. I’m 25 and I grew up with so many cats, dogs, reptiles, I have even helped rescue deer, owls, pigs, and goats before too! I specialize in dog training, I have been doing it for 7 years now and have loved every minute of it- it is my true passion!! ❤️ That is another great reason to book with me, since I am well equipped to handle the many behaviors dogs may experience during their stay, and doing it in a safe manner as well. I have trained and rehabilitated many dogs that had severe anxiety and aggression too, some of them eventually became service dogs because of how well they transformed into a better version of themselves! I’m experienced with many different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs so I am well versed in knowing personalities and behaviors and how to handle them in any way. ❤️😁 If you book with me your dog will experience fun activities such as enrichment toys, puzzle games, walks on trails, public outings such as to stores, parks, certain restaurants. They will also get to join pack walks, play time with other dogs, and one on one time with me! And if your dog is a couch potato 🥔 they can cozy up on the dog couch and enjoy their vacation in peace! 🏝️🐕💛 If you book with me your dog will experience a safe, fun, peaceful environment to where they will be excited to come back again! 🐾🎾 it is the opposite of when they go to the vet and have their tail tucked all nervously- your dog will have their tail wagging in the wind and jumping of joy as soon as you pull into my driveway because they know this is the place for fun and relaxation!! 🥳🥰🙌 All activities are very structured here. All dogs are supervised at all times when they are not crated, and when they are crated they are supervised by a camera I have connected to an app in my phone! Things are very structured in a sense of safety, behavior, and peace within all of the dogs during their stay. That’s where being a dog trainer comes in handy and the dogs can have fun while being in a calm state of mind! 😉🧘‍♀️💗🐾 I have three large dog yards- two are fenced in with 6ft privacy fence, and one yard is 6ft chain link fence. They can go potty, play, sun bathe, play in the dog pool, or just enjoy the fresh air. This is also nice if your dog isn’t aloud around other dogs- they will have their own large area to do their business and enjoy their time outdoors in a safe private area too!! 😌❤️ Cats love it here too! 🐈🐈‍⬛ your furry baby will get to enjoy toys, lick mats, cat castles and scratching boards. Even some cat nip if they’d like 🤪😸, and plenty of cuddles to “make biscuits”. 🥰🐾 If your dog can’t be around other dogs or cats, that is no problem here. I have plenty of room to give dogs and cats their own private space to still keep them at peace and accommodate to their needs during their stay! I like to match personalities within dogs so they can make great friends while they are on their vacation too!! It is also no problem if your dog/cat is on any medications as well- they will be issued them as directed during their stay and I am well experienced with that as well, so don’t worry about that! ❤️‍🩹🩺🐾 I always send plenty of updates by text with photos and videos during their stay so you don’t feel left out as I know it’s hard to leave our fur babies while we’re away! 📲📸🥰 If you book with me I can assure you your fur babies will have a blast and want to come back for more, there is plenty of love to go around here and I hope to meet your furry companions soon! 💞🐕🐕‍🦺🦮🐩🐈‍⬛🐈💞 I currently am a dog trainer, though I am still flexible and available to schedule at your convenience! Sometimes my mornings can be quite busy, but I will always do everything I can to exhaust all measures in making sure scheduling you isn’t a problem! I have 4 dogs- 2 German shepherds and 2 shepherd mix breeds. 3 are female 1 is male. I have 1 male indoor cat and 5 outdoor cats. I can assure your fur baby won’t feel lonely with the company of my own companions!! 💞 -I have multiple different rooms your fur baby can stay in if they need their own private space. -3 large fenced in yards. -structured play time with other dogs and solo play time. -pack walks and solo walks -public outings/hikes -crated when unsupervised to ensure safety of all dogs -enrichment toy/puzzle time each day to mentally stimulate and help soothe your dog -endless cuddles and love to go around 💗🥰🐾

“Natalie took care of my sweet pittbull for 26 days while I traveled outside the country! At first I was nervous because the pictures had not been updated and honestly the appearance is slightly jarring at first. However if you can look past that, Natalie is a passionate dog owner, her own dogs are healthy, happy and well trained. My pittbull has tons of allergies and requires supplements, oral drops, baths, and topical foam. Natalie was willing to take that on, and provide a routine for my dog so that she could play, socialize, and be well cared for. Natalie gives daily pictures so you can visualize your dog is safe and sound! Don’t judge a book by its cover!! I am so glad my dog found her rhythm and enjoyed her time with Natalie. Highly recommend her! My dog came back looking shinny and happy! Will book her again!!”

About: I have always had a great love for animals. Since I was a child with my first rabbit, I have helped care for family, friends and neighbors pets. Through the years I have had several dogs and cats. I currently own a farm with donkeys, cows, pigs and chickens. Here at the daycare, I have my own dogs, guiena pigs, hedgehogs, chinchilla and a turtle. I left the world of people. After caring for animals as a passion, I decided that I wanted to make a career out of it. I left the world of customer service so that I could focus on spending all of my time doing daycare and Boarding. My facility is open Monday thru Friday from 7am to 6pm. During those hours we operate daycare, intake and release for boarding and grooming. After hours we are here for feeding, walking, playing. I own and operate a boarding and daycare center for pets. I can care for and board any size animal from a goldfish to a horse. I live on site so your pets are looked after 24 hours a day. We have common areas where pets can interact if you wish, as well as private kennels. All pets are walked atleast 5 times per day in our fenced in back yard on or off leash. They have plenty of outdoor playtime when the weather permits. All areas of the building, including kennels are climate controlled. We also provide grooming services if you are intrested in having your et groomed during their stay. We provide food but you may also bring your own as well. We will feed on your schedule.

“Nicole’s hands-down, her absolute favorite dog sitter we have found. She is so kind, generous patient and very communicative. She is always flexible. And we absolutely love her!”

About: Hi there! My name is Ashtyn! My whole life has been filled with animals! Growing up, I had a Yellow Lab, Dawson, and Maine Coon, Zeke. Sadly, they went to doggy and kitty heaven when I was around 10🥺 In November of 2023, I lost my sweet Treeing-Walker Coonhound named, Maverick. He was as feisty as they come! Now, my boyfriend & I spend our time loving on his pup, Bella, a Pitbull/Alaskan Malamute mix. Although I got connected on Rover in 2023, I have taken care of all different dog breeds from small to large over the past 6 years. Many of them have been in this area, while some were down in West Palm Beach, Florida when I lived there! I have several families that I house and dog sit for regularly! Since I am in my Senior year of college, spending quality time and providing the proper care for your pups or cats will not be an issue! Dog-sitting is my method of income, currently. Therefore, I am available almost every day! ◡̈ I prefer to care for your pet in the home that they are used to! That being said, I can stay at your home overnight, just during the day, or come over intermittently for walks!

“Cynthia took such good care of my Shih Tzu and gave me lots of updates! Bentley kept looking back at her when we left like he was going to miss her. I could tell he had a great stay and would definitely book her again.”

Jessica N.

“Shelli was absolutely fantastic and made me feel so at ease about leaving my senior pup, Beau, with her for the weekend. She immediately welcomed him into her home and provided me with plenty of photo updates during his stay! I am so happy I found her and I would happily book with her again!”
