Annabel Solutions
Comfy, Cozy Dog Boarding
I offer full-service dog boarding that ensures your furry friend gets the attention and love he/she deserves while you’re away. With over 10 years of experience, I provide everything your dog needs—from feeding to daily two-mile "spa" walks, plenty of one-on-one attention, and special care for dogs on medication. Plus, I have a spacious fenced-in yard for convenience. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are my top priority.
And while you're away, you’ll stay in the loop with regular photos and videos of your pup so you can see just how much fun he/she is having.
My cozy, in-home dog boarding is conveniently located near the Beltway in Bethesda, making it easy for drop-offs and pick-ups. Whether you need to drop your dog off early in the morning or pick them up late at night, I can accommodate your schedule.
You can trust that your pet will feel at home in my care, enjoying a calm and nurturing environment.
I pride myself on being the Airbnb for dogs—a home-away-from-home experience for your pet. Unlike crowded boarding kennels, we keep the number of dogs small, ensuring every guest feels like he/she is a part of the family. There are no crates here, just blankets on the furniture so the dogs all feel at home.”

Why board in my home?
-
PERSONALIZED ATTENTION: In my home, your dog will receive one-on-one care tailored to his/her needs, unlike kennels where dogs often have to compete for attention. The smaller number of dogs ensures your pet is treated like family.
-
LESS STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT: Dogs can feel overwhelmed in a large kennel environment with constant noise and many unfamiliar animals. My home offers a quieter, more comforting atmosphere that feels like home.
-
REGULAR UPDATES: I snap photos of the dogs I'm caring for all day, and keep you connected and reassured about his/her well-being. This level of communication is rare in larger kennel settings.
-
CONSISTENCY IN CARE: I closely follow the routines your dog is accustomed to and administer all medicines and regular walks. All of this makes your dog feel more comfortable and less anxious while you're away.
-
HOME-LIKE COMFORT: Your dog will experience the comforts of a real home rather than a sterile kennel environment, with cozy spaces, individualized playtime, and plenty of outdoor walks, leading to a more enjoyable stay.
Annabel is incredible and ensures your dog is cared for exactly as you would care for them! She goes above and beyond and you never have to worry for a single second when your dog is in her care."

Annabel is absolutely amazing in everything she does. Daisy is always excited and happy to be with her. I have no doubt that she is safe and extremely well cared for."
Daisy's mom
Annabel has taken care of two dogs for us, and we would not consider using anyone else. She loves, enjoys and takes care of her charges as if they were her own, and the dogs feel totally at home with her. She’s the best."
Happy and Lucy's mom
Annabel is incredibly responsive and trustworthy. She goes above and beyond to take care of my dog. She even fixed Millie’s difficult eating patterns. I appreciate the frequent videos and photos which reassure me that Millie is comfortable and relaxed. Overall, I think Annabel provides my dog the closest experience to the warmth of her home."
Millie's mom
Annabel is the absolute best dog sitter for our Penny! She is attentive to her particular needs and showers her with love and attention while we are out of town. Drop-offs and pick-ups are always flexible. Your pup will be in very capable and experienced hands."
Penny's dad
We were nervous about taking our dog to a new dog sitter. There was no need for my concern! Our dog, normally a bit skittish, loves to stay with Annabel! She doesn’t just like dogs, she knows dogs. She reads their moods and their needs and quickly figures out what they’re up to and what they want. She’s attentive to the owners, too, sending regular updates that include adorable pictures. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
