Dog Boarding in Fort Ward

Celia’s family was great with our dog Finn. He’s our kid so leaving him with other people is hard for us, we knew he was safe and clearly happy when we picked him up. I would use Celia again.

Kristina always takes excellent care of our pups. They are both elderly. Both blind. And both have special needs. One is diabetic and she is comfortable giving them their shots. I feel safe leaving my dogs with her any time we go on a trip. She treats them like her own.

James is literally the only person we trust with our dogs! We have 3 and he’s watched our elderly Chiweenies before but this was his first stay with our crazy, playful escape artist Husky and we were at ease the entire time. All our dogs have such a fun time on vacation with James going on adventures and we know they are loved and cared for. We’ll continue to use James whenever we go away as you can truly tell he cares for your dogs and treats them like family.

Kevin was so sweet and gentle with our little dog. She is usually a timid dog, but she felt comfortable with her stay here! She even felt comfortable enough to sleep next to him and his partner. Would 100% recommend Kevin to anyone who needed their dog watched!

Christina is absolutely incredible. My pups felt so loved, she’s very flexible and gives amazing communication/pictures to keep you updated. I wouldn’t want to have my dogs stay with anyone else. Thank you Christina!

Our dogs were so happy staying with Melissa and Allan! One was reluctant to leave their home! Thank you so much for taking care of our little guys. I know they had a great time with you.

Dani and Joy ate absolutely the best! They are nice and kind and easy to work with. They were very accommodating. They were so sweet and caring with my dog Stella. Stella loves them both so much! I can’t say enough good things about them. They are more than 5 stars!

Leela seemed to have a wonderful time! Kristina also helped with some training that our pup needed. I got lots of pictures and a few videos of her playing and snuggling. Kristina was very flexable in drop off and pick up. We will be repeat customers.

We are always so happy with Diane! She takes the best care of our dog, Lola feels like she is on vacation when she stays here! We appreciate all Diane does to make sure she is well fed, exercised, and cared for.

When I first met Maria it was like visiting an old friend. I got the best feeling from her and her lovely home. Everything was clean and geared towards the dogs-lots of dog beds, comfy rugs and a big mattress on the floor for a big cozy cuddle puddle. My little Bode likes to be alone sometimes and Maria put his bed in bathroom cause that’s where he liked hanging out and was most comfortable. Maria was sensitive to his needs. Such personalized treatment! Being a senior dog, my Bode isn’t good at stairs so Maria carried him up and down stairs for the many yard/pee times. These things are really huge to me and for my guy, who in the last 10+ years had previously only been away from home for just a weekend. Now a week!? No worries. Maria treats all the dogs like they are her own. I got so many pictures and videos it was so comforting to see him eating, sleeping, walking around, like it was his own home. The next time I have to go out of town I will definitely feel comfortable leaving my little guy at the ‘senior center’ with Maria. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Sasha has stayed with Melanie a handful of times now and it’s her new home away from home. I am so happy to have found such a great dog sitter in my neighborhood that is home full time, provides daily updates/photos and takes her for walks in the neighborhood and into town. I feel very comfortable and confident leaving Sasha in Melanie’s care when I have to leave town.

Sandie has watched my little guy a few times, but this time he was recovering from being really sick with pancreatitis. As an anxious dog mama leaving him, Sandie was so great as always and made me feel so comfortable leaving. She was extremely communicative, sent so many photos and updated and had to stick with so many new directions and routines for him. Thank you Sandie!

Thank you Scott for taking great care of Prince! I really appreciate the daily updates & pictures of him while we were away! You definitely made his first stay with you an enjoyable time, we look forward to bringing him back to your place! Sincerely, Gina

Reggie loved his four day stay at Cathleen’s. She kept him on his walk schedule and his other routines. I know we both look forward to visiting his new home away from home again. She’s the best!

Bronco had a great time at Cara’s. She was a dedicated care giver, great at communications, and the entire experience, form pickup to hosting to drop off was excellent. Highly recommend

Melissa and Nate were wonderful with Tucker AND his humans! Tucker is happy in their home and we love Melissa and Nate’s great communication and dependability. When we took Tucker for his second stay, he bounded into the yard as if it were his home —and it does seem to be his home away from home.

Zoe Banks had a great time staying the week with Kimiko and her pups while we were traveling. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures, and that she came back happy and tuckered out from all the playtime she had with the other dogs.

This is our second time using Misa, and our dog dragged me from the car to her door, he was so exited to see her and her family! She sends cute photos and is flexible and very easy to communicate with. My pup and I both feel lucky to have found her.

Ryley and Juyeon were the absolute best! They were attentive, caring, responsive and super helpful when CJ had a last minute accident requiring medication. We also received adorable pictures which made things even better! Thank you for taking such great care of our CJ.

Love Donna! She is the sweetest & you can really tell she loves dogs. My Coco has anxiety when she’s away from us but I think she had a good time, she even got some outdoor play time with some other pups. She’s good about sending updates & pictures. Will definitely use her again!
