My family and I live in a single-family home in Nokesville, VA with a large fenced backyard for plenty of safe playtime. We do not currently have dogs of our own, so we love welcoming visiting pups into our home. Requirements Dogs must be friendly and comfortable around other dogs. Boarding is limited to dogs under 80 lbs. Care & Environment I am home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day based on each dog’s needs. Daily routines typically include: Morning and evening feedings Playtime and interaction throughout the day Evening walks Our home includes safety partitions and a large fenced yard to provide a safe and comfortable environment for dogs of all ages, including senior pets. Additional Notes I occasionally volunteer at my children’s schools and may be away for a few hours at a time during weekdays. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Ratings and reviews
Rachel took amazing care of my 15 year old dog and my very energetic puppy. Highly recommend.
Peyton loves her stays at the farm. It’s so nice to have found a sitter we trust!!!
My dog China has been going to Rachel for a few years now. I love her! She’s so good to China and I always feel good about leaving her with Rachel. She has so much space for dogs to run around. She sends me pictures of China during her stay. She’s awesome. I would highly recommend.
Rachel is fantastic! We’re repeat customers, and I always feel confident leaving my dog, Maggie, in her care. She communicates consistently, keeps us updated, and takes great care of Maggie. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We’ll definitely continue booking with Rachel and highly recommend her!

This morning, I picked up my senior German Shepherd who was all smiles and I could tell she had a great time. No anxiety or whining that GS are notoriously known for. I will use Rachel again in the future for my pup, what a relief it is to have a backup dog boarder who I can trust and rely upon for my fur baby. Thank you Rachel.

Schedule
We care for your pet as closely as possible to their normal schedule. Please provide a "cheat sheet" for me of potty times and snack breaks.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We care for your pet as you do. For example, if you say that you do not want your pet to be on furniture we will keep your house rules at our home to make sure your pup does not regress.
A typical day
I have a large back yard that is fenced with hardware cloth to prevent any escapes. I allow the dogs to stay out as long as they like. All dogs must sleep inside. We do provide play toys and throw the ball with any pup that know how to play fetch and wants to play.
