Love Our Dog Visitors

I was raised with multiple dogs and have had the honor of owning my own pups for over 3 decades. We currently have 2 GREAT dogs who love having visitors. We have a very large fenced back yard and one of us is home 90% of the day. If we are not home, it is for limited times. We also are approved Foster Care providers for several Rescue Services in the DMV and have fostered puppies and adult dogs.

My dog truly enjoys staying with Ann and Richard! It is very apparent that they (& their dogs) enjoy her equally. I find it to be very reassuring when away that Dandelion is being not just cared for, but loved and enjoyed!! Thank you both!

We were referred to Ann and Rick by a friend - and we know why she sang their praises! We had a friendly, welcoming meet-n-greet, during which time our dog was happy to romp with their dogs and explore their yard. This was so helpful and reassuring to us as first time boarders. We knew our pup would be in great hands while we were away, and we were right. He came home played-out and happy, and we know we will be reaching out again in the future. Thanks so much!

Ann and Richard are dog lovers, they took our two dogs into their family and loved on them as we would. As first time users of Rover, and the first time for our 2 dogs to be boarded away from home, we were apprehensive about their stay. Ann and Rich could not have been more understanding, and did everything to make us feel better about leaving our babies in their care. We had pictures every day, and our dogs had an absolutely wonderful time at their home. Outstanding experience in every aspect. Will be reserving again for our future travels.

First time using Rover. Anne and Richard were awesome. We talked about the whole process, and expectations. Marci was very well taken care of. Came back happy. Will definitely use them again.

As always, my Winnie had a great time with "her pack" at Ann and Richard's house. I never worry when she is with them.

Schedule

My husband works from home and I am the director of a non-profit. Much of my work is also done from home. Having two dogs (a very kind Border Collie, age 9 and a very fun Cattle dog, age 1; we are used to having lots of outdoor activities during the day. We do ask that all dogs staying the night be dropped off by 5:30 so we have time to settle them down before bedtime. We take dogs as early as 7:30am.

0 to 15 lbs

No females in heat

We would need to know their activity level (our pups are very active), if they are prone to jumping over or digging under fences, and what they like to do the most. IE: Fetch. We also care for all our dogs like our own...They are owed that. We are selective and will only accept families that fit our pack...to include our regulars. We will also request a vaccination history of all our visitors. We are happy to provide you with our pups records also.
