Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Emily. My husband, Andrew and I, look forward to taking care of your dog(s). Throughout my time in NOVA, I've fostered many dogs in my home. We currently do not have our own dog so its our pleasure to get to spend time loving on yours. Your dog will go on numerous walks with us (please be sure to tell us how your dog does on a leash). We have great trails around our home. I'll be sure to take a picture of your pup on one of our scenic bridges and send to you! We also love to relax at home and get lots of doggie snuggles on the couch. In our home, we have the whole kitchen area and carpeted family room area gated off to keep your pup. They can roam free in this part of the home. We typically will throw a blanket on the couch so they can snuggle up there if they like (see pictures!). Most owners will bring a crate and we definitely prefer that - being in a new home, if we leave for a bit, it's really to ensure their safety. Of course, we can assess that with the needs and personality of each dog. I will never leave your dog outside unattended, even in our backyard, as the fence is not secure. Our fees are as follows: $42 per night per dog $20 additional per night if you have a second dog ** We take up to 2 dogs per night from the same family. If you book with us, your dog or your two dogs will be the only dogs in our home. Overnight stays are for 24 hours. For any dogs that need to picked up later than they were dropped off, we will add an extra $20 for the daytime care. There is an extra fee for holidays/holiday weekends of $10 extra per night per pet. We both work full-time jobs during the work week, however we do have some flexibility with schedules, so please inquire with us and let us know what your needs are. We welcome the opportunity to consider adjusting our schedule to accomdate drop-off/pick-up times, more potty breaks, etc. so that we can keep your pup.
Reviews
Emily and Andrew were absolutely amazing and I HIGHLY recommend them! We have a Standard Poodle with tons of energy and a bit of separation anxiety. Emily has taken care of other dogs similar to Django's intelligence and energy which put me at ease, and she really did have everything under control! She had parts of her house gated off which I loved because we have to do the same thing in our house! She sent pictures of him on walks and playing with toys, and let me know how he was behaving and how his behavior improved over the days. These updates helped me feel so at ease while we were gone for 11 days! Whenever she asked questions about Django I could tell she really wanted to care for him as best as she could and I loved that! After picking him up, he has been so much more calm, less anxious, and overall happier somehow! It's blowing my mind! Seems Django enjoyed his vacation too! We definitely will be asking Emily and Andrew next time we need a sitter! So thankful we found them!
Our dog had a nice stay with Emily and Andrew! The house was super neat and they were super sweet. Our pup was well taken care of and we received pics every day. :)
Emily and Andrew are totally fantastic. They were friendly, responive and professional in all of our interactions. We were nervous about this process, as we had never had our puppy boarded before. They watched her the whole day, taking her out, feeding her and playing with her. Everything went so much better than we could have hoped. Scooch remained calm and well behaved and happy and well cared for throughout her stay. All our instructions and requests were followed. Emily was very communicative and sent wonderful updates and photos throughout the day, putting us at ease. We couldn't recommend them higher, and will definitely board Scooch here again.
Emily and Andrew were great! We got regular updates and pics of our pup, and our dog was obviously well cared for and comfortable in their home. We are very grateful!

Information Emily & Andrew M. would like to know about your pet
I would love to meet your dog before he/she comes to stay. We'd schedule a time for you to come see my home and backyard, and we'd get to meet each other. Does your dog have specific allergies? Are they high energy or a couch potato? Do they get anxious around other dogs? Do they like people or do they need time to warm up to new people? Do you crate your dog? Does your dog have any anxiety when left alone or in storms? If so, what anxious behaviors should I expect?
A typical day
Walks, Dog Parks, Throw the ball, Belly rubs, on rainy days we play games in our unfinished basement
