Dog Boarding in Elkwood, VA

“We scheduled a stay with Fran for our dogs first time away ever to prepare for a trip. The dogs came home in perfect condition and very tired. We appreciate you taking good care of our fur babies! THANK YOU!”

“Cori was a very warm and inviting host. She provided great updates and photos on our 2 YO fur baby. She also did so much to accommodate all of our needs for Lucky. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for short or long term care. She is a little far from us but totally worth the drive. Her rates are also great!”

“Rachael and Austin were so great with our dog. We got multiple daily updates, communication was fast and Marlee was so happy when we picked her up! We will definitely use them again🤗”

“Jessica watched our 2 mini Aussiedoodles over a long Thanksgiving break. She provided pictures and updates regularly, and they were very well cared for. We are so thankful to have found someone so trustworthy. I would definitely go to Jessica again!”

“Malik did excellent job taking care of both my dogs and they are big dogs. A German Shepard and a golden retriever. He took them on walks and asked questions when he was not sure which was really appreciated that he truly did care for the dogs like his own. He also kept us updated by sending pictures of the stay. Over all A+ service will def book him again.”

“I have to be very picky when choosing sitters as one pup has separation anxiety and will not stay with just anyone. I have had many issues with past sitters being dishonest and not following my guidance but I HIGHLY recommend Tanine!!! I have two very high energy pups (golden doodle and lab). She kept me updated, good and bad, and made sure to give my pup his meds with enough time for them to be effective prior to crating. She ensured to make them as comfortable as possible through the day and I truly appreciate her level of care. I specifically chose her due to the training background and I am so glad I followed through though there were not many reviews. I did not have to ask for pictures or updates throughout. She has small children that seem to love dogs so I know my pups received comfort as they love children. She is a gem! To have the patience and be willing to work with us through his anxiety is not something you find in all Rover sitters. Glad to have finally found a permanent option!”

“Oakley came back happy and tired. Communication was great, and he even enjoyed the fact that he got to run and play with other dogs. I will be using Christine again.”

“Heidi and her family were so wonderful to my dog Fergus. He is used to going everywhere with me so I have never left him for a week with someone unknown. Fergus fit right in with Heidi’s family. It was wonderful to have so much property for him to roam on and in a safe environment. He was happy to greet me when I saw him, but it was obvious he was comfortable there as he was busy walking around as I packed the car. He came back, beautiful and clean and happy. You couldn’t ask for anything more. I recommend them highly.”

About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals since I was 10 years old. I make sure my own pets are well taken care of and would do the same for yours! I have my own business and make my own schedule; I work from home 2-3 days per week and when I'm in the office it's only for about 5 hours. I provide a space for pets in my home downstairs wherein the can roam. My dogs are out all day and so are my cats. I provide them walks before work, in the middle of the day and in the evening. I also have a son who can help me (15.5 years).

“Jennifer was great! Our pup came home very happy after her stay with Jennifer. We got frequent updates and pictures while we were out of town. Will definitely be using her again when we need pet sitting. Thanks Jennifer!!”

“Absolutely recommend Megan & David!!! They took amazing care of our 8 month old Aussie pup while we were gone. I could tell they treated her like she was part of the family. Megan sent me lots of photos and updates during her stay, which I appreciated so much! 100% recommend!”

“Amber is an amazing caregiver for pets. She is dedicated and professional. She provides caring services and she lets you know how your pet is performing. She treats all pets like they are hers. I had no worries when Nugget was there for four days. She has ample space to make every pet comfortable. I highly recommend Amber for your boarding needs.”

“Maribel and her family were amazing! I received photos and updates everyday and our dogs were plenty worn out when we picked them up after playing with her dog! They were definitely well cared for. I never had to worry about them. Highly recommend!”

“Leah, Christopher and family go above and beyond for my Jiji! Jovial and so kind! Attentive and very easy to communicate with. Thank you very much!”

“Paola is a true fur baby mom. She genuinely loves and cares for any pet big or small as her own. She’s also rescued many lost pets including my own. She’s also rescued pets wandering the roads who were hurt, starving and scared. In fact, my dog Kane is one of her rescued babies who was a very scared defensive dog when she first rescued him but slowly yet surely she’s managed to make them feel safe and trusting of humans. She doesn’t judge owners who’s had to made difficult choices w their pets, instead she welcomes any animal with love. She also has experience in home / potty training and showing them tricks like she’s done with my Kane. She keeps your babies safe, loved and happy.”

“Theresa and Nicole took excellent care of Marley. They are super convenient to anyone who lives in Lake of the Woods. I would highly recommend them and be willing to book them again.”

“Amazing pet sitter, took care of dogs with such short notice and treated them with lots of care and love. Also, Matisa was very interactive during the boarding. Highly Recommend.”

“Jacque took wonderful care of our fur babies! They had so much fun & played so much in her nice big backyard. She sent pictures & was very thoughtful with them. ❤️”

“Lindsay was so warm and welcoming to our fur baby. She sent plenty of updates and let us know how our boy was adjusting to his temporary home. We will definitely book with her again!”

“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.”
