Pet care experience
My husband and I were both raised with dogs our entire lives and love caring for them. We recently lost our corgi Brutus after 13 years of love. We took a break from dog sitting while we had our second child (we have two girls ages 2 and 6) and are now ready to begin caring for dogs in our home again. We live on a beautiful 1.3 acre lot in Purcellville that backs to a forest reserve with plenty of space for your pup to enjoy. I know how nerve-wrecking it can be to leave your pet, but our promise is that we will treat your pet with the same love and care we always gave our own dog. While your dog is with us they will enjoy: - A minimum of at least 1-2 walks a day (more if requested) - Regular feeding (scheduled as requested) - Play time morning and night - Medication (if needed) - Lots of snuggles, petting, and love! You should bring: - Vaccination records/ Vet information - Crate if you use one - Something with your scent on it (blanket, t-shirt) - Favorite toy -Food -Treats Drop off: Times can be discussed. We are flexible. Pick up: Any pick up after 12:00pm will be charged for an additional day of care.
Reviews
Rex always has a great time with Katie and her family. He loves the fenced yard and her dogs too.
Rex had a wonderful time. He enjoyed playing with her dogs and will be back again. Thanks for taking good care of him and keeping me updated.
Katie and her husband were a delight to have watch our dog, Fred. They worked with us for a drop-off and pick-up times that worked best for both of us. Katie kept us updated on how things where going with Fred while we were gone by sending video and pictures. Having him stay with them eased our minds and let us relax and enjoy our time away. I would recommend Katie and her husband to anyone I know! Fred had a great time and came home happy and ready for a nap! :)
This was our first time using DogVacay. Katie made the process easy, promptly answered emails/texts, and treated our puppy like part of her family. It was wonderful to receive an email update with photos while we were away. Zoey had a great time with Brutus & Lilly and loved Katie! We will definitely be a repeat guest.
