Our most popular pet sitting plan is in-home boarding. Boarding is an ideal solution when you travel compared to three short visits and is a cheaper solution than having overnight stays at your home. You just bring your dog and the items you wish for them to have during their stay to us, and pick up when it's time to go home. We do require proof of rabies and bordetella vaccine, and highly recommend your dogs be vaccinated for Lyme as well as be on a tick protection medicine. Your pet will be treated like he or she is part of our family, while we uphold your normal routine at home. Whether you allow your dog up on furniture or prefer for them to remain off of furniture, we will accomodate what they are used to.
There are two homes in Sterling, VA; one has three dogs there for your dog to play with. The first floor is dedicated to the dogs' play area. The second home has no pets, which makes this ideal for cat boarding or dogs that prefer one-on-one time. There is also a dog door to have unlimited access outside. We specialize in cage-free boarding, giving your pet around the clock care in a home environment. This means your dog has unlimited time outdoors as well as playtime built into the cost of boarding.
Boarding costs $40 a night for one dog, and $20 for each additional dog. For example, if you drop off on Friday to pick up on Saturday, this would cost $40 for Friday night. We do have a limited number of dogs each home can hold so book in advance to secure a reservation. We do ask for 50% deposit up front to hold your reservation. The boarding rate is charged by the night, versus by the day, to keep the cost down over traditional boarding facilities. Drop-off is recommended at 5:00 PM and pick-up at 11:00 AM, though alternate times can be arranged at time of contract.
Here are pictures of just some of the dogs who have spent time in our home to be boarded.
