Dog Boarding Sowers

“I was so happy I found Linda and David. They spoiled my baby more than I did. LOL. But traveling without worrying about my puppy was such a relief. I received so many wonderful pictures and they even washed his bed for me. He made some friends and slept well. What a blessing they were and now, I will only call them when I need care for my baby. Thank you Linda & David.”

“We were in Callaway, VA for a wedding and we left our pup with Maribel and her family for the day while we attended the event. Leading up to our trip, Maribel put me at ease with fast and professional communication and flexibility when our drop-off time changed. During the visit, Maribel shared awesome pictures of our pooch in action. Upon pickup, pup was all smiles and tail wags. It is evident that Maribel and her family treat your pet like their own during boarding. We were able to attend the wedding worry-free, knowing that Dante was in great hands. I HIGHLY recommend Maribel for your pet sitting needs.”

“I left my Goldendoodle Louie with Shannon for 12 days while I was out of the country on vacation and I am so grateful to have found her! It has taken me a long time to find the right person and place for my sweet boy and he absolutely had the time of his life at Shannon’s house! He had so many friends and was truly cared for the way I wanted. Thank you for taking such great care of him and he can’t wait to come back next time!”

“Our 5 year old spaniel has stayed/boarded overnight with Nancy multiple times over the last several years! Upon our recent arrival to her home for a 'drop off ', our dog bounded over, tail wagging, to greet Nancy and her dog DeeDee; she was clearly happy and excited to be there! I have complete trust and confidence in Nancy, and know that she gives our dog a safe, loving, and fun 'home away from home' in our absence!”

About: I am an avid animal lover. So when friends, family, and friends of friends have looked for pet sitters they come to me! I have experience with dogs as little as Chihuahuas to as big as Rottweilers and we all know who is more feisty ;) I work during the week but am available for walks after 5pm. I am available for boarding all day on the weekends or during the week if your pets are low-needs during the day! I have a private 3+ acre yard with a kenneled in area if needed. I have crates for my dogs and more than happy to crate yours if needed. I am willing to accommodate most needs/request as long as you are willing to communicate!

About: My experience comes from caring for my own dog and my sister’s dog. I’m comfortable with frequent walks and potty breaks, including for dogs still working on house training. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, helping with bathing and basic grooming, administering routine medication, and measuring meals to follow specific dietary needs. I carefully follow owners’ instructions and am patient and happy to adapt to each dog’s routine, whether they enjoy outdoor time or prefer a slower pace. I’m a student with classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Most of my other commitments are remote, apart from occasional meetings, giving me flexibility around my classes. For boarding and overnight stays, I’m available Monday after 7:30 PM through Tuesday, as well as Saturdays and Sundays. For walks, drop-in visits, and longer care sessions, I’m available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Friday after 4:30 PN, and weekends. During longer stays, I can keep your pet company while completing schoolwork between care tasks. We’ll confirm your pet’s needs and my availability before booking. I’ll take time to learn your pet’s routine, behavior, and care needs before booking. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and any household rules. I’ll keep dogs leashed on walks, check that doors and gates are secure, and send updates and photos. We’ll also discuss how long your pet can comfortably be alone to make sure my schedule is a good fit. For boarding, I live in an apartment with my own room and bathroom, and big living room. I also have a pool and nice area to have walks! I will spend a lot of time giving walks and staying outside if needed!

“I couldn't be happier with the care my Westie received! He had an absolute blast with Kenneth and Susan - they took him on 2 fun field trips, gave him plenty of playtime and made sure he was well fed and got good rest. When he came home he was so happy, relaxed and clearly well loved. We will definitely be using them again!”

“Nina was quick and able to watch my dog on a dimes notice! She was very communicative and kind to my pup. :) I’d use her again! I also loved that she would send photos on occasion.”

Allison F.

“Samantha and her family are truly gifted at boarding doggos. A friend recommended Sam's service and I was able to drop off my chaweenie on short notice. She hunkered down, and fit right in. A few photos each day reassured me that Darlinda was perfectly happy at "camp," so I didn't feel guilty!!”

“Just had our first Rover experience with Marah and our 3 dogs! They stayed at her place for four nights. We did a meet & greet for about half an hour, making sure our dogs would be a good fit with her household. Everybody was playing and having a blast, and she's got a GREAT backyard. I got photos from her while we were gone, and I picked up 3 tired & happy pooches on Sunday. Marah was great handling meds for my Lab, and the whole experience was really smooth. I definitely recommend her.”

“Walt kept our boy, Teddi, for four days. Teddi is a 3 yo intact English Shepherd who has never spent a night away from us. Teddi is a very well behaved and friendly boy but we were a bit anxious how this would go. Walt kept us well informed on how Teddi was doing. Walt gave Teddi great care and a lot of attention. When we returned to pick up Teddi, it was obvious that he and Teddy had bonded very well. We are very pleased with the care that Walt provided and will certainly use him again.”

Mike P.

“Copper LOVED his stay with Michelle! Even though our little pups is anxious and high maintenance (we even added in last-minute medication), Michelle took it all in stride and reassured us from the start that everything would be ok. We got daily pictures and updates that showed us Copper was fitting right in with their family routine and enjoying his new friendship with Michelle's dog. It was so reassuring during our travel to know that Copper was not only well-cared for but also happy. I highly recommend Michelle!”

About: I have 3 dogs at home in CLT, NC. All of my friends say I treat them like my babies. I miss them so much when I am at school and would love to give your puppy some snuggles while you are away! I have 1 class a day so I will be gone max 2 hours and I LOVEEE walks so they will be walked at least 2 miles everyday if able! I can easily crate your dog if preferred. I live in an apartment but live super close to grassy areas for when they need to use the restroom. I have 3 other roommate's who all have dogs at home and one of us is usually always home!

“Sidney did an incredible job with my German Shepherd! She sent pictures and checked in regularly to put me at ease. If you’re in Roanoke, Sidney as your pet sitter is the best choice you can make!!”

“Java had a great time with Andrea! She was very attentive to her needs and communicated well with us. We certainly will call on Andrea again.”

Debra S.

“Abigail went above and beyond in her care for our Lola! I think Lola enjoyed her visit very much, as it felt like Lola was missing Abigail and Cleo the day we brought her home. 🙂 Thank you for such great care!”

Lecia N.

“Ms. Jenny did a wonderful job with our little girl Sophie! Updated us with awesome pictures and her fur babies took to Sophie wonderfully. Sophie was glad to make new friends. We highly recommend Ms. Jenny.”

Kevin F.

“Ester helped me out and was very accommodating with a last minute boarding request. I was driving from Chicago and she allowed a grace period of my arrival. She went above and beyond and was great with my dog.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me for most of my life, from growing-up on a farm in Maryland to working large animal husbandry at the Virginia Tech Veterinary School to sharing a 1-bedroom studio with two cats in Roanoke City, and I’ve always loved all animals. All! Right now, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and they are very much part of my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and just hanging out with them and giving them attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you’re away, and I’ll care for yours just like I care for my own. I’m currently in the process of my Pet-CPR/First Aid certification. I’m working a flexible schedule (as a Referee). When I’m at work, Nalini (my wife), will be there at home with your pet. So, your pet would never be there alone day or night. The most respect, care, compassion, and hugs!! There’s separate pet living spaces in my house for accommodating your pets needs, and we have a friendly and vaccinated dog.
