Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in large yard in the Douglas Park Neighborhood. My yard will be a haven for your pup, providing ample space for playing. I love to take walks in the Douglas Park Neighborhood and am within walking distance of two Arlington county Dog Parks. I will be able to provide plenty of walks and time outside as I love to mow my lawn and work in the yard. I do have a max of (3) dogs at a time and I try my best to introduce all dogs prior to staying with me.

Brian was amazing! My pups loved being at his home and he took such careful care of them. He communicated regularly and sent lots of photos. I felt very comfortable leaving them with him. Will definitely use Brian again for boarding needs.

Rose enjoys her time at Brian’s house. He is a great communicator and sends lots of pictures. The large backyard is a bonus.

Brian is the kind of person you will want to take care of your dog. He checked in a few times a day and provided pictures of my pup lounging around, her favorite thing to do. He was concerned about her disinterest in her food and kept me up to date on her progress. He even checked in after I got home to see if she got her appetite back. I appreciate how well he looked after her.

Brian was amazing taking care of our 10 year old mini golden doodle Tillie. He sent us multiple updates with pictures each day, and you could tell from them that she was having Ana amazing time and was being well cared for. We will definitely be using Brian again for boarding in the future!
