Highlights
Pet care experience
Boarding for 1 or 2 Dogs at a Time
We grew up with dogs and have been dog-sitting for thirty years. In the 90s, we had “Pampered Pets” in Boston, then we moved to Washington, DC, where we rebranded as “Top Dog DC,” and now we’re in Sperryville, VA, with “2 Dog Hotel.” Also, in the early 2000s, we raised four “Guiding Eyes for the Blind” puppies. Puppy raisers are critical to many organizations that train working dogs. Future guide dogs must be socialized in warm and loving homes, the puppies are fun, and puppy raisers learn about dog psychology and training. However, it's still not easy sending the pups off to college. Having done many "Intervac" house swaps, now we're getting into house sitting. We can take care of your pets and your home while you travel.

Ratings and reviews
Scott and Sarah were incredible! They took such good care of our dog while we hiked old rag mountain.
Nigel loves Sarah & Scott's so much! I loved seeing the updates on him. They even were amazing on caring for him during the scary thunderstorm! Thank you!
Scot and Sara were great and my girl was very content and happy when I picked her up.
Scott and Sarah were fantastic. I really appreciated their level of communication, care, state in which they left my home. They pay attention to the details. Every picture I received of my dogs, it looked like they were smiling ear to ear and have the best days. So cute.
Scott & Sarah made the drop off and pick up super easy, and sent many photos to brighten my day while my pups were in their care. Lots of TLC! We will definitely book with them again next year!
Another wonderful stay with Scott and Sarah! They are terrific dog sitters - so kind and friendly and our two energetic dogs love to run around the woods with them!

Schedule
We spend much time at home on our patio, gated deck (squirrel TV included), near a cozy wood stove, or on the nearby hiking trails. Since we spend so much time at home, keeping to your dog’s regular schedule is manageable. When we have dogs, we rarely do things where they can't join us.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We only take care of one or two dogs at a time. The truth is we enjoy the pet therapy we get from dog-sitting, and the therapists seem to like it too.
A typical day
National Park Trails begin in front of our house. We take dogs on hikes and play with dogs inside (hide and seek, tug toys, fast walkies) and in our yard (fetch, training, hide and seek). There's lots of stimulation for dogs with active lifestyles and good places to nap for less active dogs. Dogs are not allowed on Old Rag Mountain. We can take care of your dog while you hike. We also do HOUSE SITTING.
