Full-Time Boarding & Day Care

Pet care experience

Pickup & Drop Off Hours: Monday-Friday 7 A.M. - 7 P.M. Saturday and Sunday 7 A.M.- 10 A.M. Daycare hours: Monday-Friday 7 A.M. -7 P.M. All pups that come here must be able to get along great with other dogs. I do not accept pets over 70lbs for boarding in my home. I am Rachel, I grew up having dogs in my home since I was born. I started dog sitting 6 years ago. I would love to have the opportunity to help care for your pet. We do not have any dogs of our own so we love the company a visit brings. We live in a single family home in Bristow, VA with a large fenced in back yard for playtime. I do have two human children. They both love to play with the dogs and feed and water them. My husband also is a big help with the dogs and loves to go for nice long walks with them in the evenings before bed. I can handle multiple dogs at a time even if they are not from the same family. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I am home full time which allows me to care for your pets and tend to all of their specific needs throughout the day. A normal day usually involves morning and evening feeding and then 3 - 5 walks. Play and interaction for the pups in the hours in-between. I have a large fenced in backyard to allow for play and to care for elderly pups who cannot go on walks anymore. We have various partitions in the house to give your pets safety as well as comfort. I am home full time to care for your pets during the week. I do volunteer at my childrens schools so there will be times I may be gone for several hours at a time. Weekends are for time with my family so drop offs and pick ups must take place between 7-10 A.M. On Saturday and Sundays. We have many safety measures in place. If you have any concerns please reach out to see how we are proactive in ensuring safety for all pups.

Rachel was great! Got to my house promptly for the requested times I asked her to come in. My pup is a little hyper but she knew exactly what to do and how to handle him! Played and took pics of Kobe on their walks/playtime.

Rachel is Absolutely AMAZING. . . And Highly Recommend using Rachel for daycare, boarding any services she provides. I initially selected Rachel based on her outstanding 5 star rating, and high repeat customers. Rachel treated Finley as if he was part of their family for the two weeks he stayed with them. I came home to a happy, healthy, calm and excited boy. We will definitely request Rachel for daycare and boarding services again. . . Finley loved her and her sweet family. . . Thank you so very much for all the messages and pictures. .

Information Rachel D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the basics about your dogs schedule and anything that is special to your dog. For example, how do they let you know they need to go out? What time they eat, or if they are scared of certain household items? Where do they sleep? Most importantly please let me know your dogs separation anxiety level so we can make sure we are able to provide the best care.

A typical day

I have a great back yard that is fenced in that I allow the dogs to stay out as long as they like or they can lay out on the screened in deck. We have a park just down the street that we can walk to and we will take walks around the neighborhood.
