Availability
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 throughout the day. In the evenings, we have dinner typically around 4-5 pm, followed by a walk/potty break 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!

About Deborah M.
Communication

Safety, trust & environment
We always feed our doggies separately giving them their own private space and time to eat. We use gates or a doggie playpen for smaller ones 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 a large crate, 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 crate is left open and available if your doggie likes to have their own space and/or for feeding. We also have a doggie playpen for smaller doggies for feeding time and individual space.

Information Deborah M. would like to know about your pet
It would be important to know any and all preferences that your doggie has so we can make sure they have the absolute best doggie vacation with us and we can cater to their personal needs :) For safety reasons, we unfortunately are not able to host any doggies that display aggressive or extreme territorial behavior in our home. Please include in your doggies Rover profile your local vets name and telephone number, an emergency contact and your doggie's vaccination records (Canine Rabies, DHPP Canine Vaccine, Bordetella, Flea/Tick Preventative). You can also send them to us by taking a picture with your phone and sending us a message through the Rover app prior to your doggie's stay with us! Finally, may your doggie enjoy a Starbucks Puppucino (ie: whipped cream treat) with Lotus in the early mornings? We love treating them to pup cups during their doggie vacation with us! We look forward to meeting all our new friends and making them and you a part of our extended furr-ever family. We are thankful for the opportunity to host your precious pet in our home and guarantee a content and happy time with us while you enjoy your time away!

Pet care experience
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, 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 please) - these are also helpful. Please bring all supplies that are needed for any special care of your doggie (examples include pet wipes, pill pockets, special treats, etc.). We do have a large open crate (dimensions are 42" long x 29" wide by 31" tall) and a doggie playpen for smaller dogs if your doggie likes their own 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 and are grateful for you choosing us to care for your beloved furry family member!
Reviews
LeAnne and Debbie are absolutely amazing! Our dog is very anxious around other dogs, and they went above and beyond to make accommodations so he could adjust comfortably and feel safe in their home. They kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and lots of pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was so reassuring to see how happy, relaxed, and well cared for he was. You can truly tell they love what they do and treat every dog as if it were their own. Finding someone you can completely trust with your pet isn’t easy, but LeAnne and Debbie exceeded every expectation. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care they gave our dog, and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with them again. We highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, dependable, and professional pet sitters!
Deborah and Leanne (and Lotus!) took wonderful care of our Vader this past weekend! They were super accommodating and communicative. They sent updates and photos of Vader enjoying his stay. For the holiday, they even dressed him in a festive bandana and treated him to pup cups and puppy ice cream! We will definitely book with their family again.
2nd time having Deborah watch our pup. Was just as awesome as the 1st time. She is great!!!
Bean loves Deb and Lottie!!
