Dog Boarding in Mount Sidney, VA

“Hillary is a great sitter. A dog lover, she was so engaged and involved with our 2 Goldens during the week they stayed with her and her family. She sent multiple pictures, videos, and texts every day. The dogs were in great shape when we picked them up and it was clear that that they had been very well cared for. It is so comforting to know that your beloved pets are in good hands and Hillary exudes that type of confidence in her care. We are empty nesters and could tell from the videos and pics that the dogs loved playing with her children. I highly recommend Hillary!”

“Maui’s stay with Hannah was awesome. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I could tell that Hannah was a total animal lover and that Maui was going to be in great hand My dog has anxiety issues and Hannah was great at administering his meds. Hannah sent many pictures to show me how happy Maui was during his stay. I will definitely check with Hannah again when going away and need an amazing dog sitter.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Joe! He took fantastic care of our dog, Tilly, while we were away on vacation for a week. Joe was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring Tilly received all the love and care she needed. We came home to a happy and healthy pup, and we are so grateful for Joe's excellent service. Highly recommend!”

“Jani and Paul were wonderful dog sitters. They have a big fenced in yard and a beautiful home where the dogs are treated like royalty. I picked up my dog around dinner time and they had the thoughtfulness to feed him before I picked him up and also gave him a toy that he loved to play with. Jani and Paul were recommended to me by friends who use them with regularity as well. I would use them again for sure!”

About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of animal behavior across all ages and species. With hands-on experience caring for everything from playful puppies to gentle senior pets — as well as exotic companions like parrots — I adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to keep pets on their regular routine and give them consistent attention. I’m comfortable with crate training, potty training, administering medication, and supporting senior dogs or animals with special needs. Every pet in my care is treated like family — safe, understood, and genuinely loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I’m able to build my schedule around the pets in my care — whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet companionship. My own pets have taught me the importance of consistency and attention, so I’m always mindful of keeping each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home here. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have an underground fence system with extra collars for dogs who are trained to use it. Otherwise, all outside time is fully supervised, whether on a leash or in the yard. Inside, my home is pet-friendly, calm, and set up to give animals their own space if they need it. I keep things clean, low-stress, and consistent with whatever routine they’re used to. I’m always nearby since I work from home, so your pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day.

About: Ive grown up with animals and took an interest in training and sitting when I was around 10 years old. I have experience training and watching family dogs, reactive dogs, service dogs and puppies! I also have multiple animals of my own and am well versed in the different care that different species may need. When I am home, my attention is 100% on my animals. I do have a full time job in a neighboring city and am gone for normal work hours, but devote time and attention when I am home. In my own home, everybody has their own space. With dogs, cats and bunnies, each animal has the ability to socialize or spend time on their own in their space. Each animal has been trained to appropriately interact with each other.

“Mairany was kind, thoughtful, attentive, and so very loving to our fur babies! She sent regular updates and photos. We are so grateful for Mairany-she truly is an animal lover and made sure not only our fur babies were comfortable and cared for, but we were reassured as well. Highly recommend Mairany! She is absolutely amazing 🤩”

“Deb took great care of our pup. Deb and her husband were very communicative and were willing to care for our pup even when they had an emergency come up at the last minute. I loved that there was plenty of outdoor space for our pup to run around. Thank you again Deb!”

“Ashley was so great with Jules! She was responsive and sent many photos of my pup having fun with hers. I would absolutely book her again next time I’m in Staunton.”

“We are so pleased with our dog's stay with Stacey. She was so easy to communicate with. When I came to pick up, my dog looked very happy and well cared for. I would definitely use Stacey in the future and recommend her to any pet owners looking for a caring home for a temporary stay.”

“Jackie was amazing when watching our dog for 2.5 weeks while we were out of the country. She had great communication and sent us pics throughout the time. Great location as well for dogs to stay! Our dog has 3 legs and Jackie had no issues watching our dog and was very accommodating with any special needs. Highly recommend Jackie!”

“We had an overnight trip planned just two weeks after getting a new 4-month-old puppy. We didn't want to do a large boarding facility, so we were really happy to find Cory. He was awesome at communicating and sending photos of Benson, which my kids especially loved! Benson was able to interact with his animals which was great for him, and he seemed to behave better there than at home :) Cory even picked him up and dropped him off, which was really helpful. We will definitely book him again!”

“Dana is a wonderful host! Lexie stayed with Dana (and Red) while we took a trip over the July 4th weekend and Lexie had a great experience. We especially enjoyed getting pictures and videos on Red's Instagram account!”

“Danielle was amazing with our cat, Kinako! This was her first time being away from home, but it was very obvious from the pictures and updates that she was in great hands. It was also her first time being around so many other pets, but they were very sweet with her and she seemed surprisingly at ease :) We're excited to book with Danielle again whenever we're out of town!”

Jennifer N.

“We were so excited to keep getting messages telling us how Puppee was doing at his "sleepover". Great communication! Thank you for taking such good care of him.”

Bill T.

“Beth was gracious and hospitable to our senior doggy. Coco had a couple of difficult weeks before I drop him off to be with Beth. During his time with Beth, he did amazingly well, especially for a senior dog. I would ask her to board Coco again without hesitation.”

Priscilla & Brian W.

“Bree was pleasant and provided updates and pictures. We booked less than a week in advance and she was able to be available. We were looking for someone who could watch both our cat and dog and she was happy to. Much appreciated!”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, from raising litters of puppies to nursing sick kittens back to health. I’ve trained working ranch dogs, cared for senior pets, and managed special diets. I work from home, so your pet gets my full attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or cuddles, their needs come first, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I provide loving, attentive pet care in my home or yours, following routines, ensuring proper nutrition, exercise, and comfort. Whether it's walks, playtime, or special needs, I treat them like family.

“Francesca did a great job! She sent a bunch of pictures and kept us updated for my dog's entire stay with her which I really appreciate. My dog also seemed to really like her! I will likely ask her to watch my pup again if needed!”
