Our resident miniature poodles have a wonderful life meeting and playing with new visitors daily. If we are shown as unavailable you might still want to check with us about availability, it could be a calendar drop off/pick up scheduling adjustment. We will not accept aggressive dogs. We require a meet and greet before accepting bookings. If you have larger size dogs please check with us for availability. We are ideally situated, three miles from Old Town Alexandria, six miles from Mt. Vernon and 10 miles from Washington DC. We adore dogs and feel special that we are able to look after and love them while their parents are away.The pups have the run of the house, we are tenants. We try to limit our intake of large dogs per visit. We will inform guests at the time of booking which other dogs we will be hosting so that they feel comfortable with our guest list. During warmer weather they are free to roam inside and out and they love our routine and space. They sleep in human beds with us, if allowed. We never crate dogs and will only do so if requested by the owners. Rates and Times: Pick up and drop off is 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Major holidays and the three days immediately before and after the holiday will be billed at a higher rate per day. Puppies under two years of age and elderly dogs might have higher rates and will be taken under consideration. Please include your drop off and pick up times in your booking request and check with us for availability even if our calendar is marked full. We have a general pet questionnaire and a policy form which we will e mail to you that should be brought back when you drop off your dog. We would love to meet you!
