Highlights
Pet care experience
We love our Furr-ever Furry Friends
My daughter and I love our furr baby, Lotus, and would love to take care of yours too! Lotus is a very friendly, sweet & playful 4 year old female Labradoodle who loves having doggie friends over to play and as companions. My daughter loves smaller sized dogs and we are all excited to offer local NoVA doggie vacations & boarding services in our cozy, peaceful, quiet, playful and loving townhome in Belmont Greene (Ashburn). We offer boutique services with a focus on very personalized, high-quality care for your beloved pet. We will cater our care to the personal needs of your doggie and all their preferences just like they are at home. We will walk them individually several times a day and give them lots of attention and love. They will become a part of our extended family! We will send daily updates and an abundance of photos and videos to you during their stay. We promise to make drop off and pick-up of your beloved doggie extremely easy and convenient for you during every visit! We will be ready for your arrival on the first day for an easy, quick and convenient drop off and transition with us and for pick-up we will have all their things cleaned, packed and ready for you upon departure. We know how important this is for when you are traveling or have plans and how stressful this can be. We will always be ready to make this process convenient and helpful to you! We started Rover as a family together in May 2025, however, I grew up with and have been a dog lover and owner of a variety of breeds all my life. We love them all and enjoy hosting them in our home and making them a part of our extended family! We have lots of great places to walk and exercise nearby and will enjoy frequent walks with your doggie! We also have a basket of a variety of doggie toys for them to enjoy and get into during their stay (but we encourage you to bring any of their personal items that might make your doggie even more comfortable and at home with us - ie. doggie beds, their favorite cozy blanket with the scent of home, their favorite toy, slow feeders, favorite chew bone or any preferred treats, etc.). It is extremely helpful if their food is put in individual baggies already portioned out for each day (not required, of course, but very helpful to us to have the exact portions). We also recommend pill pockets for any medications for doggies (owner provided) - these are also helpful. Please bring all supplies that are needed for any special care of your doggie (examples include pet wipes, doggie bags, pill pockets, etc.). We do have a large open crate and a doggie playpen for smaller dogs if your doggie likes their owns space or sleeps/relaxes in a crate. We don't typically crate anyone unless necessary for separation -- then we will rotate play and walking time. As a way to give back to our community and doggies waiting for their furr-ever home, we have partnered with Loudoun County Animal Shelter (LCAS) and will donate doggie treats for every stay with us of 3 days or more with us! We thank you for choosing us to care for your beloved doggie!

Ratings and reviews
2nd time having Deborah watch our pup. Was just as awesome as the 1st time. She is great!!!

Bean loves Deb and Lottie!!

Deborah M. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Auggie loved his stay with Deborah. Would highly recommend her if you need someone to care for your pup while you are away. We will be booking with Deborah again!!

Zuzu has a blast during her stays, she gets a lot of attention and really gets along great with Lotus. I would recommend Deborah for taking care of your pet.
Debbie took great care of our beloved pooch. She gave us meaningful regular updates and lowered our stress level knowing our dog was in very caring and capable hands. Highly recommend her!

Schedule
We are early risers, getting up between 4-6 am most mornings. As soon as we wake up, we immediately go out for our first potty break of the day, followed by breakfast and then another potty break and walk early am. During the day, we take quick 5-10 minute potty breaks. In the evenings, we have dinner typically around 4-5 pm, followed by a walk/potty about 30 minutes after eating. In the evenings during the week and/or especially weekends, we love to do longer walks (averaging 2-3 miles) for exercise and great health - weather permitting. I work a hybrid full-time corporate job and am remote during the week, except for Wednesdays, I am in-office and will be away from home from approx. 9 am. until 3 pm. During this time, Lotus and your loved one will keep each other company until I arrive home and get them immediately out for a potty break and walk!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We always feed our doggies separately giving them their own private space and time to eat. We use a gate or doggie playpen and separate them (Lotus, our doggie, likes to eat other doggies food because it's interesting, tasty and different from her food! :). We walk each doggie individually giving them their own time and dedicated attention outside. We do have 2 crates in our home, if needed, but we don't normally crate anyone unless for a specific reason such as interaction with another doggie we are caring for...the crates are left open and there if your doggie likes to have their own space and/or for feeding. We also have a doggie playpen for smaller/medium doggies for feeding time and individual space.
