Dog Boarding in Rising Sun, MD

“Colleen Alissa and her husband provided Lemmy with excellent care while we were away. Arranged for a meet up with their pup, Bruce, before Lemmy’s stay. Definitely will continue to book with them for as long as they are on this app.”

About: I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life. I currently own two standard Goldendoodles and foster cats/kittens for the Hero Rescue. I have been an animal lover since I was a small child. I have patience with pets that need some time adapting to a new person in their area. I work full time so pets that are crate trained would work best for boarding in my home. If you would rather me come for drop ins I can stay and make sure they are fed, have water, get play time, and plenty of love while I’m there. Dogs in my home would have a fenced in yard for supervised potty breaks and play time. I also have enough space to throw a ball/toy for fetch inside for extra exercise. They would have my 2 Goldendoodles for company but any boarders would need to be crate trained so I don’t have to worry about them getting into anything while I’m at work. I also have cameras in my home so I can check in on everyone throughout the day. Drop ins would get attention, love, and play time while I’m at your home with them.

“Chance was comfortable and happy in her care. I love that she sends photos. He was in great spirits when I came to pick him up. Will use her services again in the future”

“We were very happy with the care our dog received while we were on vacation. We got numerous pictures, and our dog seemed to be on vacation too! Thank you for taking good care of Kona!”

“Alexandra is AMAZING! She has a very clean home and fenced in outdoor space for dogs to run and play! She accommodated our changing plans by taking Remmy a day early. She was so easy & kind to work with and I will book her every time we use Rover! She communicated daily and sent several pictures during Remmy’s stay! I had 100% peace of mind while I was away that my dog was extremely well cared for and loved!”

“Such a wonderful experience. Loved all the pictures and videos sent. My Sasha had such a wonderful time playing with all the pups and yard. Will plan for the next stay as my dog is so happy with her stay.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know how to explain this except: Jess is basically Dodger’s second family now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the type of sitter who treats your dog like FAMILY…like actual family…Jess is the one. I honestly don’t think Dodger realized he was being “boarded.” He thought he was on vacation with his new cousins, new uncles, and his new favorite person on earth (Dan 😆). From the minute we dropped him off, Jess was so reassuring and kind. She sent constant updates, pictures, and little stories that made my heart feel so much better. And not just “here’s your dog existing” pictures…NO. We’re talking: *Dodger cuddling her husband like they’ve been best buds for 10 years *Dodger snuggled up with her youngest like they were watching Saturday morning cartoons *Dodger and Tanner acting like long-lost brothers reunited *Dodger eating, relaxing, wagging his tail like a helicopter blade *Dodger getting a whole spa bath after rolling in the yard mud 😭💀 He even chewed through a Kong, which honestly deserves its own award. I warned her he was a super chewer, but I don’t think ANYONE was ready for him to destroy the “indestructible” toy. She just laughed and sent pictures like, “Welp, he’s having the time of his life.” 😂 The whole time she made sure I felt comfortable…even when my baby stole my phone and I panicked thinking I missed messages 😅 She was patient, flexible, and genuinely cared about him AND about us. Dodger came home happy, clean, tired, and FULL of love. His tail literally didn’t stop wagging the entire stay. And I’m pretty sure he thinks Jess’s house is his second home now…which I’m honestly fine with, because I know he’s safe and adored there. Jess and her whole family are wonderful, warm people. They treated Dodger like he belonged with them, and that’s all a dog mom could ever want. We will definitely be booking again (unless Dan steals him permanently 😂). Thank you, Jess, for loving our boy so well. He misses you all already! ❤️🐾 P.s thank you for being so accommodating and helpful with his bath, I loved getting to pick him up early and snuggle him with us the moment he came home🥹💕”

“Cassandra took great care of our dog over the Christmas holiday! Hazel doesn’t always eat much while she is staying at someone’s house (regardless of who it is), so Cassandra kept us updated when she was or wasn’t eating - and eventually Hazel did settle in to better eating habits! Her concern and attention was really appreciated. Hazel also gets an allergy pill twice a day which Cassandra kept up with too. Thank you for caring for our dog!”

Lindsay S.

“Henri had a wonderful stay over the Holidays with Candice and family! She was very communicative and sent frequent pictures. We will be back for sure!!”

Simon L.

“My lab Ruby had a wonderful time with Jacob and Megan. She was super excited that she would be able to play with other dogs and lounge on their deck. She was exhausted when she came home. I definitely recommend Jacob and Megan as dog sitters and would take Ruby back again!”

“Tabby came through for us when we were in a pinch with finding a place for our two boxers and we are forever thankful.. Our boxers certainly enjoyed their time in her big back yard.”

Jessica R.

“Lucky had a great time with Max and Thomas. He enjoyed playing in the backyard and all the pets. Thank you and I'll definitely rebook again. I appreciate the prompt replies to my texts.”

“I can’t say enough about Gisel and her family that gave us a warm welcome the moment we connected. At our meet and greet, I knew she was the one to host our #furbaby Cody. Even her children were loving towards him. They are a wonderful family and far exceeded our expectations of caring for our Cody with pics and videos the whole seven days. Our neighbor uses her as well for their Yorkie and are very pleased with the care they’ve received. The bonus for us, she’s a stay at home mom and Cody was not left alone all day. She has small dogs as well and he was able to meet new friends. This was our first time leaving Cody without family and Gisel eased all of my anxiety because of her love for animals. We’ll be using her again soon.😊”

“Pearl and Lanny took great care of our dog for us while we were away. They treated him like he was one of their own, which put our minds totally at ease. Pearl was very attentive to every tidbit of information that we shared with her about our dog's routine, preferences, and quirks, showing how very conscientious she is when she accepts someone else's pet in her care. She graciously arranged for a meet-and-greet before our first booking to confirm that things would work out well, which they did. We received notes from Pearl while we were away, giving us even greater assurance that all was well. Based on an exceptional initial experience, we will be repeat customers. We are very grateful to have some who will care just as well for our four-legged family member as we would during those times when we need or prefer to leave him temporarily. Thank you, Pearl (and Lanny), for being there for us!”

“Our dog was very well taken care of. Sharon was communicative and flexible regarding drop off and pick up. We would absolutely have Sharon watch our pup again!”

Rebecca S.

“Geosselyn is friendly and very kind. She gave me frequent updates with photos/video to let me know how my dog was adjusting at her home. My small Maltese truly received excellent, personalized care. I highly recommend Geosselyn and will place my dog in her care again!”

Samuel T.

“Justin & Stephanie were great. We asked for a last minute booking and they immediately said yes. Many pictures were sent and even a video. Our chocolate lab had a great time!”

Courtney S.

“Sherman loved his time with Jill and Chad and family!!! We could tell that he got so much attention and affection. Sherman can't wait for his summer vacation in July!”

Patricia Y.

“Barb was fantastic! We chose her because of her experience with dogs of all ages, especially older pups. Although our pup was a bit nervous, she seemed to settle in well and made herself at home. Really appreciated the updates and pics to let us know all was good.”

Meg M.

“I am again very pleased with the care Shiloh gets during her stay with Melanie (and her family). Photos and communication is great and allows me to enjoy my time away. If I need a sitter for puppy camp again I will definitely be rebooking with Melanie”
