Loving Boarding in Stafford, VA

Pet care experience

Hello, we are Sara and Matt, dedicated dog lovers committed to providing your furry friend with the loving, stress-free boarding experience they deserve. Our passion for pets has inspired us to create a "home away from home" where your beloved dog can feel cherished, secure, and a part of our family. Why Choose Us? Personalized Care: With over 20 years as pet owners, we understand the anxiety of leaving your dog in traditional kennels. Here, every dog receives tailored attention, ensuring they're treated as uniquely as they are. Family Environment: Your pet will enjoy the freedom of our home, complete with cozy cuddles on the couch or adventures in our spacious, fenced backyard. Whether they're active explorers or prefer the life of luxury lounging, we cater to their lifestyle. Constant Companionship: One of us is nearly always home, providing your dog with companionship, playtime, and regular potty breaks. With us, your pet is never alone. Exercise & Fun: Daily long walks are a staple, ensuring your dog remains happy and healthy. Our outings are more than just exercise; they're a chance for your dog to explore and enjoy the great outdoors. Stay Connected: We keep you in the loop with daily updates and photos, so you can see your pet's adventures and know they're thriving in our care. Our Exclusive Boarding Philosophy We take pride in offering an unparalleled boarding experience, which is why we exclusively limit our boarding to pets from one household at a time. This commitment ensures that your dog receives our undivided attention, creating a peaceful, stress-free environment where they can truly feel at home. By focusing solely on your pet, we deliver a personalized service that goes beyond typical boarding, treating each guest as part of our family. Requirements for Your Pet's Stay To ensure a harmonious and safe environment for everyone, we kindly ask that: Guest dogs are good with children and other dogs, reflecting the loving community of our home. They are housebroken and well-behaved indoors, contributing to a peaceful atmosphere. They are not destructive to property or furniture, respecting the comfort of our home. They are crate-trained or capable of sleeping overnight in bed with our teenage daughter, offering them a cozy and secure sleeping arrangement. Important Note for Your Pet's Stay Please provide enough food for the entire duration of your pet's stay to maintain their regular diet and ensure their comfort. This helps us keep them happy and healthy in a routine they're familiar with. Join Our Family We're excited to welcome your pet into our home. Here, they won't just be boarded; they'll be loved, cared for, and given memories to cherish until you're reunited. Let us offer you peace of mind while giving your pet a holiday they'll wag their tail about.

Finding Matthew and Sarah as pet sitters for my 6 year old rat terrier dog on Rover was the perfect answer to my prayers. I was nervous about leaving him because he had never been left with anyone other than family members. He tends to be a nervous dog who has not had much exposure to outside our home experiences. The care "Spot"received could not have been more perfect for his needs. As evidenced by the pictures and information I received regarding spot many times each day, I began to wonder if Spot would be wanting to return home with us. Each picture sent revealed how Spot just blended beautifully with his care givers.

Sarah and Matthew are wonderful doggy daycare people! Dropping the boys off felt like I was leaving them with close friends! Would highly recommend them to anyone with small or medium dogs needing some daytime care.

Matthew and Sarah took great care of our two dogs! We could be happier with the updates and care they gave. Their dog, Cleo, was so sweet and got along great with our pups too. We definitely will be using them again in the future!

If your dog loves walks, they're more than welcome to join us. Tailored Playtime: We understand that every dog has their own playtime preferences.
