Dog Boarding Townsends Cross Roads

“Awesome pet sitters!! Treated our Kelly as if she were their dog - sent pictures daily. Loved all the updates!”

Claudia M.

“Jermaine took good care of my 7 year old pit bull for a week. He either updated me first or answered my questions in a timely manner when I asked for updates. I also received some pictures throughout the week of my boy. Overall I had a great experience and will be using Jermaine again!”

Marisa M.

“Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of my Baxter! It was my first trip away from Baxter. Brooke and her dogs kept him busy and happy. She had a nice big fenced in yard so they could play. She sent pictures and videos as well. I highly recommend Brooke and will be using her again!”

Janice W.

“My frenchie had the BEST time with Lindsay and her puppy!!!! Lindsay sent me pics daily, and whenever I asked for one. My baby literally had so much fun at her house, I think he sulked for a few days after ? Lindsay will be our go to for boarding in the future.”

Dana L.

“Will was so great to our gal! He has a great property that is great for dogs who like to run around and kept us updated the whole time with pictures, what they did, and how our dog was doing. He was also very responsive and considerate of our dog’s needs. This was our first time using Rover and we were so impressed with how smooth the process was and how well they took care of our dog. Would highly highly recommend.”

Nicolas B.

“Morgan truly enjoyed my babies and took amazing care of them! I’d book her again any time!”

Johanna D.

“Paige was great. She was available on short notice and was accommodating to a weird drop-off time due to bad weather. She was attentive to my animals needs and it was obvious my pup had a great time with her. She sent tons of pictures and videos and gave comprehensive daily updates. I would absolutely recommend this sitter and will be using her again in the future.”

About: I will love and care for your pet as if it were my very own Grand-puppy. Like my Charlie. Charlie is my daughters dog who reminded me that I loved dogs. I am looking forward to building my business in a career that I love so I can retire from my current job but still have work I look forward to doing. I will treat your pet as part of my family. I have a Grand-puppy named Charlie who came into my life and reminded me I loved dogs.

“Johanna was great with Wes! He has his puppy quirks and she was experienced and comfortable with him. She was very receptive to all of my questions and took the time to talk through my puppies quirks with me. We even set up a test sit be sure everyone was comfortable. Johanna sent photos and updates the whole time! Would recommend!!”

Kim K.

“Katherine was fantastic! She watched our dog Olive (3 year old mixed breed) while we went to the beach with our family. Katherine is so loving and her two dachshunds welcomed Olive right in. She’s knowledgeable about dogs and made Olive feel right at home! She sent lots of pictures and updates and we felt so relaxed knowing Olive was in a loving environment (with plenty of space to run around!)”

Erin M.

“Gully had a wonderful stay with Charles & Heather and their 2 pooches! They made him feel right at home with lots of cuddles & attention. Thank you!”

Sandy B.

“Jess and her entire family were amazing! We had a great experience boarding our cocker spaniel with them. They treated our puppy like one of their own. He had a great time with the kids. Jess was communicative and accommodating and we truly appreciated them taking care of Orion.”

Mia E.

“Brigid took care of my senior girl, Chloe, for 4 nights. She was open to a last minute meet and greet. She accommodated Chloe’s senior needs, sent updates, and gave a nice verbal summary at how Chloe’s time went and included things she will miss about her. Chloe seemed content when I arrived, often going over to Brigid several times while we packed up all of her things into the car. Being a dog sitter myself, I found comfort in that, considering they were strangers just days before. I would recommend Brigid!”

Emily A.

“Jilesa was a life saver, from accepting a last minute booking, to my flight delay back home. She was very understanding and considerate of my unfortunate mishaps. Polite and kind. My Midnite took right to her during drop off.”

About: I grew up with family pets and spent years fostering animals before adopting a pup of my own, Lemonade (aka Lemmy). She is a little under 2 years old and loves making new friends. This is a great opportunity for your dog to come stay and play. For best care, I only take pets from one family at a time in addition to my own. I work from home full time during the weekdays, so your pet will be offered lots of play time, potty breaks, and cuddles. I also spend a lot of time home on the weekends and can provide extra quality care. I have a fully fenced front yard and my puppy Lemonade will be with me to help entertain your pet and keep them company during their stay. **Meet and greet is required before your first booking**

About: For me, pet care has never been just a job—it's been a lifelong passion. I was raised in a family of professional trainers and boarders, where I learned from an early age how to properly care for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. We also spent countless hours working alongside local shelters, helping dogs build confidence and prepare for their forever homes. Professionally, I have over 20 years of experience working in boarding, training assistance, behavioral rehabilitation, and pet care. In 2012, I began my career as a professional dog groomer and later became certified to groom both dogs and cats. In 2020, I became certified to train new groomers as they worked toward their professional certifications. Today, I combine all of that experience to provide a calm, loving, and individualized experience for every pet in my care. My Specialties I specialize in creating fear-free, low-stress experiences built on patience, trust, and compassion. Some of my areas of expertise include: • Fear-free handling and grooming • Trauma rehabilitation grooming for pets who cannot safely visit traditional salons due to fear, anxiety, or behavioral concerns • Senior pet care • Puppy care and socialization • Pets with medical or mobility challenges • Basic training and reinforcement of good manners • Administering medications while carefully monitoring for symptoms or side effects One of my greatest passions is helping fearful dogs learn that grooming and handling don't have to be scary. Rather than forcing pets through services, I work at their pace, building trust over time with the goal of helping them become comfortable and confident again. Many of my clients come to me after being turned away from traditional grooming salons due to behavioral or medical concerns. What Your Pet Can Expect I strive to make every stay feel like a vacation with family rather than simply boarding. Your pet may enjoy: • Daily walks (typically 2-4 per day, while following your normal routine whenever possible) • Plenty of one-on-one attention and affection • Playtime, enrichment, and exercise • Trips to the dog park (with your permission and only if appropriate for your pet) • Picture, video, and message updates throughout their stay • A calm, loving home environment where they are treated like family One unique tradition many pets come to love is bedtime story time. It may sound unusual, but quietly reading aloud has helped many anxious dogs relax before bed. I've even seen it help dogs experiencing storm anxiety or fear of loud noises settle more comfortably. Routine is incredibly important to me. If your pet has a specific schedule, feeding routine, medication plan, or bedtime ritual, I'll do everything possible to maintain it while they're in my care. Because of my experience working with behavioral and medical cases, I also pay close attention to subtle changes in your pet's behavior, mobility, appetite, and overall well-being. If I notice anything concerning, I'll communicate with you immediately and act quickly in your pet's best interest. Communication & Grooming I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet care. The more I know about your pet's personality, routines, preferences, and medical history, the better experience I can provide. In return, you'll receive detailed updates about how they're doing, including behavior, activities, and anything I notice that may be helpful for you to know. During boarding or daycare stays, I'm also happy to reinforce basic training and offer guidance on grooming maintenance, body language, and behavioral changes that may strengthen your bond with your pet at home. Professional grooming services are available for pets staying in my care. Grooming recommendations, pricing, and service completion depend on your pet's size, coat condition, medical needs, and stress level. My philosophy is simple: I will never force a pet through a service. Their comfort, trust, and emotional well-being always come first. Booking Information To help protect my home while still providing every pet with the highest level of care, the estimated price for boarding and daycare includes a refundable cleaning/security fee. This fee is fully refunded after your pet's stay provided there is no excessive damage or extraordinary cleaning required beyond normal pet messes. I believe this allows me to continue offering a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every guest while being fair to both pet parents and my home. My goal is simple: every pet should leave my care feeling safe, loved, understood, and excited to come back. I am generally home all day. I do work as a groomer for pets that are unable to got to salons, but I do this from home as well. So your pets will have round the clock love and care. You will need to provide any food and specific treats if your pet has a favorite or dietary restrictions/allergies. Pets are family. I will personally take them for walks throughout the day for fresh air and exercise, play with them and ensure they feel comfortable and lived while you are away. I do offer creating services, however, depending on the size of your dog, you may have to supply the crate. You pet will always be treated like family, but the details of their routine and activities will depend on your instructions. I respect that different lifestyles require different things (i.e crating vs free roam, scheduled feeding vs grazing, scheduled walks/potty breaks vs whenever they want to go out, etc.) and will maintain that sense of normalcy as much as possible. If you opt for grooming, and I am able to comfortably groom your dog, grooming will take place 1-2 days before your return. That way they have time to decompress after, and if they are stressed for parts, it gives leeway to do little bits over time.

“I really appreciate Kara boarding my pups at the last minute for the holidays. Kara took really good care of my pups. Kara kept me updated with lots of pics to keep me updated with what was going on in their day. The best part they provided transportation to and from my home.”

“Gina is wonderful! She sent us frequent videos and pictures to keep us posted and we knew our dog was having a good time there. Fifi was so well loved and taken care of during her second time away from us. Fifi definitely enjoyed her stay with Gina and her husband! We will keep using this service in the future.”

“Idi and her husband were so kind and made me feel so at ease. She sent photos and provided updates daily. Jersey did so well and I look forward to them watching him in the future.”
