Dog Boarding in Tappahannock

“Jennifer took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She communicated with me every day and sent photos. Before drop off, she called and told me about the environment at her house and asked some questions, which was reassuring. She treated our dog like he was one of her family members. He came home happy and tired, and he made friends with some other pups. We would definitely use Jennifer again as a dogsitter. Thanks!”

“Brandy and her family were wonderful with our dogs while we went out of town. She kept us updated and sent pictures. Our dogs seemed very comfortable with her. We will definitely use Brandy in the future if we need dog sitting.”

“Michelle took such good care of our baby. She sent pics, reassuring us he was in good hands. Michelle treated Jax like her own pet. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby.”

“Teela was an amazing sitter! She would send multiple pictures a day and gave me the assurance that my senior dog was well taken care of! Her pug Daisy is also very friendly and makes for a wonderful playmate/friend for dogs. I appreciate how well she took care of Chako and would hire her services again should I need it.”

Christian J.

“As always, the pups came home tired and happy!”

“Margaret was wonderful! My dog looked like she was on her own vacation at Margarets house. She would send me pictures of Lucy playing in the yard and what bedding Lucy picked. Lucy loved being at Margarets house. I highly recommend Margaret!”

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.

“This was our first time using Rover. Tate and Rosie, our two yellow labs, had a great overnight stay with Ellie. She gave them plenty of attention and activity - like going to dog camp! We picked them up happy and tired the next day. Thank you for taking good care of them, Ellie!”

About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in our daily life along the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.

About: I’m the person people call when their animals need real care — not just a walk around the block. I regularly foster puppies, kittens, and medical-case animals, so I’m used to everything from bottle babies to pets who need meds, deworming, wound care, and structured routines. Nothing fazes me. I work in animal care, and I’m hands-on every day with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m big on structure, safety, and making sure your pet feels secure, not stressed. Whether your dog is a stage-five clinger, a shy baby deer, or a chaos gremlin, I’ve probably fostered one just like them. I work part time on the weekends and all of my free time is dedicated to fosters or owned pets! My passion and hobby is dog training and animal care. I respect and reinforce owners boundaries. My home is optimized for animal safety and with my extensive animal care knowledge I am confidently able to provide a safe and structured environment.

“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of my dog Claire. She would send me update photos throughout my trip to ease my stress about how Claire was coping with us being gone. The difference between how happy Claire was when we returned proved that Alyssa is an incredible sitter and value compared to local kennels in the area.”

“Karen was warm and friendly with both us and our dog. She sent regular updates while we were away. Our dog must really love Karen because she was barking protectively when I walked up to the door. We look forward to more visits with Karen!”

“This was an emergency stay and we only had a couple of days to book with Erin. Thank you for your accommodation Erin and thank you for taking care of our boy. He loves to come to your house and we love that he loves it! See you next time! As long as you stay in the business, we will support your services!!!! We appreciate all you that do. It makes it easier for us to do all that we do!!!!”

“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”

“Lesley took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. We were in a bind and needed someone last minute. She responded immediately and was very flexible. She sent us updates, pictures, and a video to let us know how he was doing. It was obvious that he was having a great time with Lesley. We will definitely use her again!”

About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay. My dog has a strict routine as I believe taking care of pers works better with a specific schedule. He wakes up, gets fed, gets taken out, is given treats, among everything else at the same time. Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.

“Our dog had a great time, she stayed with Ashley for a month. We love that she keep us posted by sending pictures and telling us how Milu was doing. It was great to have that communication. Ashley’s overall energy and interaction made our dog feel comfortable and relaxed. When we pick Milu she was happy, healthy and in good shape. We will definitely book with her again.”

About: I have had pets in the household my whole life. I operated a pet care business out of my home for almost three years using apps such aa Rover.com. I’ve returned to continue offering top quality care and to spend as much time as I can with your furry beloved family members. Please ask for references and I will offer them to you. I have not yet been on the site long enough to have acquired them on the app. I am available full-time to care and sit. My whole focus is on pet care at this time. Creating a safe and fun environment for your fur baby. When your pets are with me and staying in my home they are like my own and will be treated as such. When I am within your home, I will do my best to provide the best care and to offer special services based on your needs.

“Ashley and Brownie were great! I took our puppy to meet Ashley and her apartment was spotless and her dog was gentle and playful. Ashley was very comfortable answering all the questions of a new puppy mom and made me feel that my puppy would be happy in her home! I plan to use her again and would recommend her highly! Thanks, Ashley! Beverly Noffsinger”
