Dog Boarding In Rock Creek

About: What sets me apart is that I focus on helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the household while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both younger and older dogs, including pets that need a calmer environment, extra patience, or more frequent bathroom breaks. I try to keep pets on a consistent routine and pay attention to their behavior, comfort, and energy level so I can adjust care to their needs. I also understand how important communication is for pet parents, so I provide regular updates, photos, and short videos during their stay. Pets in my care are treated with kindness, supervision, and respect. I aim to create a calm environment where they can relax and feel secure rather than stressed or isolated. I structure my schedule to ensure pets are never left alone many hours at a time. I make it a priority to ensure pets are fed, visited regularly, given plenty of attention, and made to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parents are away I treat pets like part of the family and work to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are in my care. In my home, pets are welcome in the common living areas so they can feel relaxed and included. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the day based on each pet’s needs and routine.

“Marci was a great sitter for my dog Hank! I could tell from get-go that she’s experienced with taking care of pups and that she treats her pup Sadie amazingly too. She was a great communicator with fast responses, and answered all my questions to make me feel confident about having her watch Hank. Would absolutely recommend and use her again!”

“Bonnie was amazing! So helpful and flexible with times and days and she sent me lots of pictures and updates on my boys. We will absolutely use her again. (If she’ll have my crazy little guys again lol).”

“Ranee is fabulous. She treats our puppy just like she is her own. I never worry when we need to leave her with Ranee. I also like that she shares lots of pics while we are gone...very comforting.”

“Dawn and her husband were absolutely outstanding. Very nice people and made Pepper feel like she was at home. I never had any worries about leaving my dog with them for the week. They treated her like she was their very own. It made my trip better just knowing that she was in great care. Dawn updated me every day with pictures and kept me informed on how she was doing. I highly recommend them and will definitely reach out to her if and when I need a dog sitter. A+”

“MY PUPS AND I LOVE AMBER!! I’m so sad that she doesn’t have availability during Memorial Day weekend! She’s the only Rover sitter I’ve used and will continue using her!!”

“Very good experience. My dog can’t talk but, looks like he enjoyed it at her place. Very well informed about him so, we didn’t have to worry much. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I always used boarding facilities. I think this is better for him instead of sitting in a kennel all the time. I would definitely go to her again if we need.”

“The most amazing person to leave your baby with. My girl was in such good hands and loved her playmate. Will 100% be using her again! The videos and updates gave me such peace of mind.”

“Andy loves going to Charlene’s! He always gets so excited to go hang out with her family. She’s really great about sendings pics and videos of his “vacation”. ☺️”

“Christine was wonderful. My Yorkie Shuri got very comfortable - fast. Me and my husband were pleased with her first over night stay. We booked her again for a 3 night stay while we head out of town. I would highly recommend you use Christine to host your pup.”

Wendy E.

“So great! First time boarding my dog so I was nervous, but Jaxx was in great hands. She sent me photos and updates while I was gone. My dog got along great with her pup and they got to play in a fenced in yard and everything! Would take him back there if I went on another trip for sure.”

Taylor B.

“Hannah did a wonderful job with our pup Stassi.. who is a very sweet girl, but very high energy and requires a bit more care. Was regularly updated and felt like she was in great hands. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”

Lauren M.

“Awesome with the dogs. She absolutely love what she do and that makes a world of difference when leaving your fur baby. Provide updates often. Will definitely use again!!”

Neshaja N.

“Stephanie and family treated our babies as their own. Every time we got a picture, they looked very comfortable and loved. Would definitely take them back.”

Jennifer F.

“Katy took great care of my dog, and treated him like a part of there family. We will definitely be boarding with them again!”

Evan K.

“Samantha is AWESOME!!! WHEN WE DROPPED STELLA OFF IT WAS SUCH A WARM AND FRIENDLY FEELING. She cares about pets and other people's pets. Because Stella was treated so well we were worried she wouldn't want to come home. She even sent us pictures while we were gone to let us know how she was doing. You'll never get another sitter as good as Samantha!!! We will certainly be using her anytime we need a sitter for Stella.. give her a chance and you won't be sorry!!”

If they stay in my home they will have access to a 6ft high fenced in back yard for play and sleep with me and my furbabies.

“Jennifer and her family have taken such good care of Mowgli twice now. I have a hard time finding sitters that provide Mowgli the structure he needs - primarily downtime. He's suffered a recent injury, so rest was even more important than usual. Jennifer made sure that this young pup didn't overextend himself yet still received all the love in the world. She was totally capable of meeting Mowgli's high-maintenance needs: rest, supplements, oral/topical meds, and dental hygiene. I look forward to future visits when he's healed enough to play with the other pups in the house!!! I can't thank this family enough💕”

“Once again, Pepper had a great time at Jackie’s house. She always looks healthy and well taken care of when I pick her up. She sees Jackie’s house as a second home and hides when I come to get her because she doesn’t want to leave. I truly believe any pet is lucky to stay here and any pet parent will appreciate the love and care Jackie gives their pet for your peace of mind while you’re away.”

“Me. Joanne was so kind and patient with my poodle. My dog adapted to Ms. Joanne and safe environment like he knew her for years. She also kept us updated with pictures and letting us know how our dog was doing. We will definitely utilize her services in the future.”
