Bowie Boarding Retreat for Smaller Dogs

Our family has three small dogs that span a variety of ages (from 17 to 4!) and we travel a few times a year.With the stresses that come with traveling, the care and safety of our dogs is not one of them. The overnight care they receive via Shannon and Doug is even better than having them stay with family or friends. They are so attentive to our dogs' every and varied needs.Prior to the overnight stay, Shannon takes a lot of time to get to know the dogs needs and asks all the right questions. While we are away, we get great updates and photos — very reassuring when you are a hemisphere away! I'm especially heartened by Shannon's expertise with small dogs... read full review

Bowie Pet Sitting was absolutely wonderful, dealing with Shannon was delightful. They were detail oriented, professional, friendly, efficient & just an absolute pleasure. Her & her husband took very good care of our cat & the daily update with pictures really eased my mind while gone. I also loved that she requested a quick email to confirm we made it back home safe & sound. When we got home we had a content, well cared for & happy cat.

Each time we've returned, our kitty has been in really good spirits, which lets us know she's been super well cared for. Doug and Shannon are patient and reliable with detailed instructions and very responsive by email. I had used several other DC-area cat sitters before, but... read full review
