Pepper's Ashburn Playhouse

Pet care experience

Hi, I've been caring for pets as a professional Dog walker and Pet sitter (including Daycare and boarding in my home) for over 15 years. There is nothing like the joy a happy pet brings to a home and my husband and I would like to provide a vacation home for your best friend. When your pet joins us he becomes part of our family, he sleeps where we sleep and sits where we sit. One of our favorite activities is cuddling with our furry family. We love big dogs and small dogs, healthy dogs and dogs that need a little help to stay healthy. We do live in a townhouse so being able to climb stairs (or being small enough to be carried up stairs) is a must. We recently had to say goodbye to both of our own dogs but we do have two senior dogs that come daily for daycare and because of them we cannot take puppies or dogs that are very energetic. But as long as your dog understands that not every dog wants to play all the time, and is able to look elsewhere for entertainment we should be good. If your dog enjoys long walks along the lake, sleeping in the sun, or sitting on the deck watching squirrels then this is the place!

Caren did a fantastic job boarding Romeo! He is an older pup with separation anxiety, so it really put my mind at ease that I had someone so attentive and experienced working with him while I was away for 2 weeks.

Caren (and Troy) were amazing with our furbaby. We had to leave him for a little over 3 weeks and this being the first time that we had to leave him for such a long duration, we were very anxious. But right from the meet and greet to us dropping him off, my lengthy instructions about Leo's schedule, eating etc. Caren was awesome and we knew that Leo would be well cared for. Caren sent us regular updates with pictures and videos, her messages with every picture were very reassuring and it was evident that Leo was thoroughly enjoying his stay and getting lots of love and attention. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Leo was in good hands. Thank you so much Caren and Troy, we really appreciate you taking such good care of Leo.

Caren and her husband were wonderful with our Aussie! He’s usually a pretty nervous pup but he seemed to warm up very quickly, and Caren was awesome with texting us daily updates. Her experience with dog walking/boarding speaks for itself, and I’ll definitely bring our dog to stay with her again.
