Dog Boarding in Shipman

Amy was amazing with our dogs! She checked in every day and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. One of our dogs is pretty anxious, and Amy handled her with such patience and care. She even accommodated us on a last-minute request, which we’re so grateful for. We can’t recommend her enough — truly the best sitter we’ve had! If we are ever back in Virginia and need a sitter, will definitely be using Amy again. Thank you Amy❤️

Wonderful sitter, was excellent communicating about Sisu and thorough in her report about his stay. Sent lovely pictures of Sisu playing with her kids.

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.

Roo was well cared for while with Nadia and her husband, as usual! We feel at ease leaving Roo there knowing she is cared for like she is family and given special treats and attention...extra walks and sun lounging on the deck. Nadia communicates daily and sends photos and videos. I swear Roo pouts her first few days back home because she misses Nadia and her husband so much. Roo is not dog friendly and they keep only her and are careful to not allow her to meet other dogs outside. This was Roo's second stay and we will certainly book again with Nadia when needed!!!!

Deb was wonderful about keeping me posted on our one night overnight test stay for Phineas. He’s very sweet but very anxious and when she told me he ate both of his meals I knew all was right in his world! I immediately booked him for a longer stay. They have a beautiful country setting with lots of room for the dogs to explore.

Hillary is so great! My dog has stayed with her before and had a great time, so I felt comfortable rebooking. Easy communication and plenty of updates during the stay. Would recommend!

Chief really enjoyed staying with Brenda. It is truly a home away from home where he is loved just like at home. A friendly, safe, loving environment. Highly recommended. Thanks Brenda. Chief is looking forward to next time (he told me so).

Thanks so much for hosting Walker. He loved his stay

Sophia was amazing! She was incredibly accommodating on very short notice and made the entire experience stress-free. Her communication was excellent, not only through messages but also through the many photos and updates she sent throughout our trip. We were so sad we couldn’t bring Ash with us, but honestly, I think she had a better time with Sophia!😅 Knowing she was safe, happy, and so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be reaching out to Sophia again and recommending her to everyone we know. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl and making us feel so comfortable and confident while we were gone!

As always, Bucky had a great stay with Jani & Paul, and we were so glad to have him there. This was a long trip, and with anyone else we might have been nervous, but Jani & Paul really are the best dog caregivers! Bucky is a senior dog who does not like to be away from home, but he fits right in and has a great time with the other dogs, too. We appreciate so much the care and kindness that Jani & Paul give our dog.

Hillary was the absolute best sitter we could have ever asked for! Our puppy is not only huge, but she is high-energy and had never stayed with anyone but us. We were instantly at ease after taking her to Hillary! You can tell her and her family are great with dogs, and her yard was perfect for Hazel to play in! Every day we got pictures and updates about Hazel...Honestly, it was like a doggy vacation! Before we picked her up she was also given a bath! She just goes above and beyond! We will never use anyone else to keep Hazel! Than you, Hillary and family!

Susan was absolutely amazing to work with. She was very communicative and sent regular photos and updates so we were comfortable that our pup was safe and happy. Susans home was perfect for our dig either a lovely fenced yard and her own pup was great for Maya to play with. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

She was great! Mr Burl had a blast

Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl! All the pictures, videos and updates were so helpful and allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing our pup was being well taken care of!

We just met Jesse & Emily the day I dropped off Bleu and they treated our boy like part of the family right away. I felt a good vibe during our Rover communication before booking and meeting them it immediately solidified my comfortable feelings of leaving Bleu with them! I received photos each day of his stay and it made me so very happy seeing him just so relaxed and laid back! We'll definitely inquire of their availability in the future!

Dude appears to have had a great time during his visit with Layna. I appreciate the extra actions to accommodate Dude during the hot days of summer.

Eddie had another great stay with Alexandra and Logan! They sent pictures and updates every day and treated him like a part of their family!

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.
