Pet Boarding in Eden

“I can’t recommend Melissa enough! She stepped in last minute when my original dog sitter canceled, and she truly went above and beyond. She took amazing care of my dog, providing not just the essentials but also lots of love and attention. I could tell my pup was happy and well cared for when I returned. Melissa is reliable, kind, and clearly has a natural way with animals. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your furry family members, she’s the one!”

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.

“Kennan and Kayleigh were great sitters for Copper while I was out of town. Copper suffers from severe anxiety especially during storms. Kennan was very patient with him and tried a variety of things to keep Copper calm. I was comforted knowing that he was in good hands while I was away.”

“Macaya was such an amazing and gracious host to my dog, Willow. She handled Willow’s temperament very well and catered to all of her specific needs. Willow had a blast staying with Macaya. I can tell how much she genuinely cares for all the pups she takes care of and I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hi, my names Elizabeth and I’m a student at ECU. I have experience taking care of my own pets at my house while my parents are away by feeding them, taking the dog on walks, giving them their meds and anything else! Since I’m a current student my hours depend on my classes, I’m free after 12 on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. And free after 3:20 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have always loved animals and love taking care of them. I am incredibly responsible and will look after your pets while you’re away. I’m good with dealing with younger animals or an older ones. I can give medications or any of thing that’s needed for their health.
