Dog Boarding in McLean

“Laurie & Rich were great hosts for my dachshund mix Lily! The sent me regular check ins and pictures of my pup which I greatly appreciate. They communicated fantastically throughout the entire process, and accommodated all of my requests. I could not have asked for a better host! 10/10 would recommend.”

“Jason & Becky were wonderful with Juneau. They were very responsive, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout her stay. It’s clear they are experienced dog owners who treated her with kindness and great care. I received frequent updates with photos and videos, along with helpful information about her behavior and daily routine, which gave me great peace of mind. Thank you both so much—Juneau is definitely looking forward to coming back!”

“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”

“Andy was great with my dog! He always sent me photos and pickup/drop off was easy. When I picked my dog up, he didn’t want to leave! It was nice to know that he was in good hands while I was gone.”

“Elizabeth is a dog whisperer! Caring for a senior dog requires patience, knowledge, and genuine compassion—and that’s exactly what we found in Elizabeth. Our senior dog requires a slower pace, and a lot of gentle reassurance. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, from maintaining her routine to making sure she was comfortable and relaxed. We received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Elizabeth is a godsend!”

“José was very careful to make sure he learned what Hazel liked and needed. He and his family provided a very calm and loving home for my anxious dog. The stay worked out well.”

About: I have spent the majority of my life with dogs, and I have the most experience with German Shepherds and terriers. I feel at ease with both large and small dogs. I enjoy hiking and taking backcountry walks around Great Falls with my furry friends. Even though I'm not certified, I feel that I'm successful at obedience and am mindful of all the hand and verbal cues. I am currently not working (federal contractor) so I am available all day for potty breaks and walks! I live with in walking distance to Pimmit Run Trail as well as a short drive to Great Falls. I enjoy long exploratory walks along the river with my puppies. I have a 6ft fenced yard and two energetic teenage boys that are also available for walks and ball tossing to keep even the most energetic pup nice and tired.

About: I offer a calm, attentive, and personalized care experience for both cats and dogs in the Tysons, McLean, and Great Falls area. With over 6 years of combined experience, I take time to understand each pet’s rhythm — from gentle brushing and quiet companionship to playful moments and frequent photo updates. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets and give them lots of love and attention. On weekends, I love being outdoors—if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along for some fun and fresh air! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, keep the environment safe and clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular photo updates so you always feel connected. I occasionally offer boarding at my home for small dogs and cats who can peacefully coexist with my friendly resident cat. I do slow, careful introductions to ensure a stress-free stay. Please note that I do not board large dogs.

“Christine took such good care of my dog. I was an anxious first-time owner, but she sent lots of photos and updates and it clear my dog was being well cared for. Definitely recommend!”

“Maci loved spending time with Erin and her godson!! Erin treated Maci just like she would her own dog. Thank you, Erin! We hope to use your services in the future!”

“I was nervous to leave my dog Archie with a sitter for the first time, but it went wonderfully! Lina and her family spoiled Archie with lots of treats and time in the yard, and I got lots of photo updates. He's already looking forward to his next stay! ❤️🐶”

“Rae was amazing with Molly, our senior beagle. Molly decided to be a complete diva and also got sick while boarding. Rae went above and beyond to take care of her and keep us informed of how Molly was doing. Would 100% recommend.”

Lance K.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Leo! John was absolutely amazing — from the very start he was super responsive and so kind. Leo can be picky about rain, lazy when it’s hot, and a little particular about his eating (clean dish every time!), but John handled everything so wonderfully. He made sure Leo got his walks (adjusting for weather!), gave him all the love, and kept us constantly updated with sweet photos and notes that really gave us peace of mind while we traveled. Coming home to such a happy and relaxed pup says it all. Truly grateful for the care, attention, and thoughtfulness John showed. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to love their pup like family!”

“Byamba and family did a great job watching Banjo for us, communicating throughout his stay, and sending us pictures daily. We appreciate them helping us in a quick bind! They were very kind, walked Banjo twice a day, and spoiled him!”

“Shikuza took great care of our large dog Ellie. She has a large fenced in yard and walked our dog regularly. She followed our instruction to the letter, and we got lots of pictures and videos during the stay that showed Ellie was happy and well taken care of. We strongly recommend Shikuza and will definitely use her again.”

“Brianne took such good care of our Bean. Bean is very shy at first in new environments, but Brianne made sure to make her feel comfortable and safe. She kept us updated with pictures every day. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
