Dog Boarding in Speedsville

Alex watched my two dogs for 5 days while I was away on a trip and was excellent! Very communicative and accommodating for drop off and pick-up, making things very easy. He sent tons of pictures and updates on how they were doing and all the fun they were having. They had a great time running, playing, and wading in the pond. Would absolutely recommend Alex for any boarding needs!! He was exceptional.

Caterina is so warm and hospitable. You can tell she loves taking care of our pups! She is very organized and specific so that things run smoothly and the dogs don’t get stressed. They have full run of a part of the house and get lots of opportunities to play together outside or take a walk, she says. The “meet and greet”was new to me, but I see the value. Caterina tuned into Bogie from the start. TIP: It would be helpful if ROVER and/or the pet sitter specified the TIME WINDOWS for dropping off and picking up. Also is the “daily” charge for EACH NIGHT or for EACH 24-HR period? ALSO when a person requests “3 nights” (or days), it is the practice of hotels is to CHECK OUT on the FOURTH ONE BY A CERTAIN TIME. ROVER really caused me angst when they messed up my request for THREE NIGHTS and Kyle scheduled pickup BEFORE the third night. The SITE IS VERY “UNFRIENDLY” about modifying a booking. I was desperately trying to figure it out for over an hour and then I texted Caterina and she said I could have just contacted HER! What a waste of my time and a lot of frustration. ROVER NEEDS TO FIX ALL THIS. I can’t recommend it the way it is now. I was beside myself two days before my vacation trying to get things corrected. Pickup and Drop off times were never specified. People picking me up for the trip had to change their time. It would have been helpful if I knew what kind of window I had w/ pet sitter. HAD TO DRIVE an EXTRA 80 mins that morning, then jump in car and go the 6 hrs north right by her place. Found out (after the fact) as early as 4am was good. WISH I HAD KNOWN!! Not sure where it is written… I wish it was specified somewhere; it would eliminate much unnecessary back and forth texting to get the logistics down.

Mario and Max loves Destiny. They don’t come back stressed like they did when boarded at Kennels. Plus they come home with a bag of fancy little home made treats.

This was our first time leaving our puppy Scout in anyone else's hands, so of course, that comes with some anxiety and worry. We were very glad to have the opportunity for a meet and greet prior to Scout's stay. While it was only a 2 day stay, Steve did a great job of communicating and responding when we checked in. He also sent several photos of Scout playing in the yard with his new 'friends' which was very reassuring for us to see! Scout came home very tired out from all of his playtime outside. We will definitely keep Steve in mind to use for boarding in the future!

Laura was absolutely wonderful with my pup, Blue! It was my first time boarding him and felt confident Blue was in excellent hands right when I met Laura. She has a very sweet, calm energy and is so down to play! Blue was in heaven with many hours of fetch and walks. Laura asked all the right questions and was eager to make sure Blue was well looked after. When my husband and I picked him up on Sunday night, Blue was absolutely exhausted and we knew he had a great time Laura and her animals. It's always reassuring to know your pup is in loving and capable hands. Thank you, Laura!

So happy to have Andrea to watch our dog. She is lovely and kind, has clean house, and is really truly a dog lover. Will definitely book again 👍

Rose was wonderful! She kept my dogs longer when my flight home was delayed. My girls loved getting to play in her fenced in yard. Bonus: she takes amazing pictures of your pets!

Charlene and her husband were amazing. I got a series of pictures and she was great at communicating. It put my heart at ease knowing our furry kiddo was in great hands. They treated her like part of their family.

Carolina and her family are very nice! Carolina made sure to message me everyday on how my dogs were doing, with pictures!

Mary is wonderful! She took our dog Harry at the last minute for a 24-hour period -- we're from out-of-town and our hotel didn't allow pets -- and he was in dog heaven! Her dogs and her other "dog guests" were friendly and welcoming. She sent pictures and videos of him having a ball, then later sleeping soundly. She brushed him and took such good care of him he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up. We highly recommend her and would definitely take him back if we return to the area.

Aaron and Kaylee were great! They were watching multiple dogs so mine had some to play with, and they had a whole room just for the dogs. The photo updates were great. My dog seemed like he had a lot of fun.

Ashley and her family were amazing to work with! She answered promptly and made me feel comfortable leaving our pups there for a trip. She sent lots of updates daily and I knew they were being loved on and enjoying their time at Ashley’s house. Thank you so much!!

Great communication and care, our dog clearly got tons of attention and exercise. Thank you!

Thank you Alexandria and family for taking care of our Charlie while we were away for 7 days. It great to not spend any time worrying about him while were were away enjoying ourselves on vacation. NK

Susan took wonderful care of our 5 month old kitten, Beanz, who has undergone quite a few life changes in the past month and a half, from being rescued from the side of the road, introduced to our home with a dog, introduction to another dog vacationing with its human at our home and then off to Susan's while we were out of town. Susan was very sensitive to Beanz' temperament, gaver her space or love whenever it was needed. She was very communicative regarding what Beanz was up to during the day, and pickup/dropoff was smooth.

Our dogs had such a great time! They're really happy to visit Robert and Eileen and Huckleberry and Sydney and Finn, and have gotten to feel very comfortable with them. We're just so lucky to have connected with these wonderful people :-)
