Your Dog’s Home Away From Home

Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have cared for dogs my entire life and have done so professionally since 2012. While at our house, your dog will receive lots of love and personal attention. You can relax when you are away while your dog is enjoying their vacation, too!

I work from home as a graphic designer/artist in a quiet residential neighborhood near downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC. Our home is comfortable, smoke-free and air conditioned. I am a member of and am insured by Pet Sitters Associates.

In order to maintain the home boarding environment, I accept a limited number of dogs at a time. All guests must be socialized and well behaved. I value the long term relationships I have with our returning guests. They are part of our family!

Your pup will have the run of our house. If your dog is allowed on the furniture at home they are welcome to curl up on our sofa or beds. Dogs have access to our large fenced-in yard (6′ fence) throughout the day where they can chase squirrels, play ball or relax on the deck. Throughout your dog’s stay I will send you daily photo updates.

Also, I occasionally foster dogs for City Dogs Rescue, and that’s how I met…
