Dog Boarding in Fort Defiance

My pup came back tired and happy - and that’s saying something for a highly energetic dog! Joe took the best care of him and updated throughout the stay. So thankful for his kindness and care.

This is our second booking with Deb- they are so sweet to Rumi! He got all excited in the car when he realized where he was going, and that really helped the mommy guilt about leaving him for a trip :)

Kathryn is great! She has a nice yard, and her house is very clean. She also uses filtered water for Momo, which we really appreciate. She was very responsive, even when we had to pick him up very early. Momo was clean and well taken care of when we picked him up.

Jennifer and her family were great with Charlie. He seemed to feel at home. Will be back!

Brandy took great care of our dog Pip while we attended my nieces graduation at JMU. She even sent updates and photos. I highly recommend her!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sophia! She sent updates 3xs a day with lots of pictures! You can tell she genuinely cares about your pup.

Jo was fantastic with Gizmo! She sent pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. Gizmo came home happy and tired out from a great week—you could tell he had a blast. He got along well with Jo, Kayla, and Cricket, and it was clear he was well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend Jo for anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like part of the family!

Kara was great with our dog. Glacier was well cared for and we received daily updates and pictures. We Will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you Kara!!!

My nervous beagle spent her first night away from home with Madison. It all went great. When I picked her up she was happy and relaxed! It’s nice to have a sitter to rely on.

Erin is a thoughtful, kind sitter. My dog seemed to love her time there as witnessed by her sulking around when she got home. The atmosphere at Erin's home, with her 2 dogs and a cat, is so welcoming! I will be using Erin again!! Thanks so much!

Tea took great care of my dog, Holler! She was very attentive, sent me updates, and kept him to his routine while staying with her. Thank you!

Pepper and Ralphie seem to have had a great time with Alyssa & Sean as they slept all day after picking them up! Thankful for all the love they give our pups while we are away.

Oscar was well cared for by Hillary and her family. We could tell that Oscar was well loved there. Hillary sent photos and updates while Oscar was there. Looking forward to using Hilary again to care for our pup when we need to travel. Thank you so much!

Chloe loves to “visit Danielle.” She’s the first sitter that Chloe goes with without any fuss or trembling. Daniel is awesome at communicating and sending pictures. Highly recommend!

Beth not only took Bella in quickly, she was so kind and Bella took to her immediately. My doghter is very much high energy and Beth took it in stride while maintaining the same level of kindness. If I lived in the area, I would definitely recommend any dog parents to her! Thank you again Beth❤️

Definitely recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She was very communicative throughout our dogs stay. It was a pleasure working with her.

Jani and Paul are wonderful hosts for our senior special needs dog. They spend a lot of time playing in the yard together and they send me sweet photos of our dog Gizmo sniffing flowers, napping around the house and getting lots of love and attention. We appreciate the care and kindness they give to our doggo.

Svitlana was an amazing sitter for our girls. They were well taken care of and had a great time. Svitlana provided many pictures of the girls throughout their stay. We will definitely use Svitlana again when we are in the Charlottesville area.

My husband and I went on our first trip where we could not take out 1 1/2 year old boxer, Jake. He is the most high energy, playful, powerful, and excited dog we have ever owned. He can be unintentionally clumsy and rough trying to play with young children or frail elderly people. Same goes with small breed dogs, and senior dogs. For these reasons it was hard to find a good match for him. Cory works from home, has 2 older children and an easy going 3 year old mid sized sturdy dog named Zire. Zire is still young enough to be a playful match for Jake, but also old enough to know how to gently voice his opinion when enough is enough. Cory sent pictures each day of Jake and Zire taking fun Trail walks with him. Even some pictures of Jake checking out the family’s laid back cat. We are so pleased with how well everything worked out that we will definitely think of Cory’s home the next time we need a home away from home for Jake.

10/5 stars. Tiffanie truly went above and beyond in taking care of our girl. Fantastic communication, generous and flexible around our schedule, left us with no worries at all about Dolly. Book her if you can!
