Dog Boarding in Carthage, VA

“Henry and Cherlye Ann were amazing sitters! I felt good as soon as we shock hands in their beautiful vegetable garden (thanks for the rosemary and basil sprigs!) Penny was immediately comfortable and settled right in. They were very responsive and kept me up to date on Penny’s stay. HIGHLY RECOMMEND as sitters; it was very comforting to know they only take on one dog at a time as Penny can be wary of new dogs in close quarters. I know Penny will be back…and honestly, she didn’t seem too keen to leave!”

“I am so happy we found Elizabeth. She is amazing. Our dog was comfortable with her from the moment they met at our meet and greet. It’s very obvious that Elizabeth loves animals and her home is the perfect spot for your dog to enjoy their own vacation! We will definitely be using her again.”

“Sydney was wonderful with both my mini schnauzers. She took care of their every need and gave them lots of love. We have rebooked with her for several more dates and will continue to book with her for boarding in her home.”

“I was so happy I found Linda and David. They spoiled my baby more than I did. LOL. But traveling without worrying about my puppy was such a relief. I received so many wonderful pictures and they even washed his bed for me. He made some friends and slept well. What a blessing they were and now, I will only call them when I need care for my baby. Thank you Linda & David.”

“Wonderful establishment with beautiful scenery, tucked back high on a mountain. They're experienced and the kennels are in great shape!. The owners are very forthcoming with information before taking your animals to board there. It was worth the 40 minute drive. They helped me out when I needed help with two rescue dogs that I knew nothing about yet. Please consider them for your next board!.”

“Walt kept our boy, Teddi, for four days. Teddi is a 3 yo intact English Shepherd who has never spent a night away from us. Teddi is a very well behaved and friendly boy but we were a bit anxious how this would go. Walt kept us well informed on how Teddi was doing. Walt gave Teddi great care and a lot of attention. When we returned to pick up Teddi, it was obvious that he and Teddy had bonded very well. We are very pleased with the care that Walt provided and will certainly use him again.”

“Lindsey was so amazing with Zade and he had the best time! I didn’t have to worry for a second about him being in good hands because she was so great with him! With out a doubt will use Lindsey again if needed in the future!”

“Kind, intelligent, flexible. My dogs (even my grumpy dog) liked him!”

About: I always grew up with my own animals and knew I wanted to to be a veterinarian one day. When I was in high school I started my own dog walking business to make some money and then heard a doggy daycare was opening up in town. I was the first to apply! I worked there for a while until I started at a local veterinarian at 16. Now I am going into my second year of vet school and wanted a way to fill some of my free time. Due to my busy class schedule I only have a cat right now, so I really enjoy spending extra time with dogs! My goal is to adopt a pit bull mix by the end of vet school because they have a special place in my heart! Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with animals in a variety of settings from general care to specialty medicine to emergency and my passion for them only continues to grow. I'm skilled in administering medications and injections, caring for both puppies and senior pets, assisting with more challenging or nervous animals, and understanding dog behavior and body language. During the school year my schedule does vary Monday through Friday as labs are different days/times every week, however, they are only two hours long so I am flexible for the rest of the day! I really enjoy hanging out with animals as a study break! I also keep my schedule up to date on Rover! I'm available most days. Just message me about times and I will get back to you as soon as possible! I currently live in an apartment. I have one cat and my roommate has a cat. They both do well with dogs and will mainly keep to themselves and stay in our rooms. We are trying to socialize them more to dogs to get them more comfortable for when we adopt one in the next year! In our apartment we have two floors so we can keep the animals together when we are home and then separate them with a baby gate when we go out. There is a large unfenced backyard behind my apartment that is a communal space and lots of walking trails around including the Huckleberry Trail!

“Maverick loves when we pull up to Nancy’s house. It’s his home away from home! He has an instant dog friend and a warm & cozy house to play and relax in. I love getting pictures of him playing with DeDe and other dog friends. I’m so thankful Nancy is very accommodating with our crazy drop off and pick up times!”

“Holly was super flexible with a super short notice to take care of our 9lb-13mo old-cute-spoiled-baby girl-wiener Pitanga. It was the very first time Pitanga spent the night away from mom and dad and Holly sent lots of pictures of our puppy along the day. I’ll definitely ask Holly to take care of her again in the future. Super recommend!”

“This was my first Rover experience, I was a bit nervous to leave my 14 year old dog Lexi, but Kurt made me feel so comfortable - texting updates and photos. He also was above and beyond with understanding and accommodating to us being later than expected to pick her up. He’s got a great property for hosting dogs and his pup Gus was very welcoming and friendly with Lexi! Kurt will definitely be our go-to pup sitter, thank you Kurt!”

“Nancye is absolutely amazing! She loved and spoiled our Josey as if he was her own. I loved that we had the opportunity to have a meet and greet before we took our trip. She took him on walks. He loves car rides and she took him to get ice cream with her getting him a pup cup. It was our 1st time leaving him with someone new and she sent us pictures and updated all along the way. Nancye has such a love for fur babies and it shows. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Cooper had a fantastic time this weekend at Chris and Carmen's house! He was well cared for, had lots of play time (he was exhausted when we got home), and they even game him medicine he was taking. I will definitely book them again!”

Becky D.

“Carmen did great with our dog Cody. It was fun so see the pictures and videos she sent while we were away. It looks like he had as much fun as we did. Thank you Carmen!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up around labs. Currently we have a Great Dane and a lab. I have had experience training puppies and working with dogs who are older. My sister also trains dogs professionally and has taught me a lot. I currently work full time. I am available for boarding on weekends. I also have some evening availability for walks or play dates. I teach so in the summers my availability is more open. I have a fenced in yard and two of my own fur babies to keep your pups entertained. I believe that pets are members of the family too. They sound have lots of snuggles and play time. We let our pups on the couch and occasionally give table scraps.

“Kennedy was extremely kind. Our dog Remi can be nervous and she quickly came around to Kennedy. Kennedy provided daily updates and was quick to respond. She was very flexible of our travel times and understanding. We look forward to having Kennedy watch Remi again”
