“Best. Sitter. EVER. I've tried and been happy (or not) with many boarders, but Jody goes way above and beyond. She's not just knowledgeable and reassuring, she's sweet and kind and will love your fur babies for you. I live in Roanoke, whereas she's in Moneta. But this was such a blessing!! I wanted somewhere Harriet could run and play and feel free and happy. Jody delivers this in a big way- she has several yards of varying sizes with over animals to play with. I kept telling my girl she was going to summer camp, and it turned out to be so true. I don't think she even missed me that much! Please don't let the distance deter you. Jody even offers pickup and drop off services. Harriet gets so anxious going to a boarder's house, but as soon as Jody pulled up, Harriet started wagging her tail and jumped right in her car before I could say goodbye. She's with the dogs all the time- you won't be leaving your pup with someone who leaves them alone. Harriet is very social, and I can tell from just the pictures and videos that her physical, mental, and emotional needs are being met in every way. Please seriously consider Jody- she's phenomenal. I don't really want to tell you this because I want to keep her all to myself, but that would be a gross injustice. She's the best. I won't even consider anyone else again- I'll just move my vacation plans around.”

“John continues to be dependable and always keeps in contact while Toby is with him. I love getting photos each day and assurance that Toby is doing well and getting love and exercise. I will continue to bringing Toby to him.”


“JeBecca absolutely LOVED her stay with Cheyanne and her family. Cheyanne sent several pictures everyday showing JeBecca playing with her other dogs/puppy. I am so thrilled that I have found such a loving family to watch over my fur baby when I have to go out of town. 10 out of 10, the BEST!”


“Kristen was great. Set up to care for multiple dogs outside and a huge fenced yard to stretch out their legs. If the need arises I will be booking with Kristen again.”


“Charlotte & her dog Lupin were both very welcoming to my shy 7mo pup, helped her feel at home & she had so much fun! I was nervous about boarding her for the first time, but Charlotte definitely knows what she’s doing and cares a lot about making guests comfortable. I got lots of adorable pics of my pup having a great time in their yard & dog den. 10/10, highly recommend!”


“Shannon was awesome and my dog loved staying over at her place. So much that he was pretty depressed for the rest of the day after I picked up up lol. She kept me posted with updates the entire time I was gone, was very friendly, and has the cutest home. Thank you so much again Shannon.”


“Once again, Monty had a wonderful time with Paula! He has spent time in her lovely home before, and very much enjoys running around in her fenced back yard. When we dropped him off he ran to Paula and didn't even look back! - which was wonderful for us to see.”


“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”


About: i’ve taken care of pets for lots of friends and family, along with neighbors! I also have grew up with cats and have two of my own! I worked a vet clinic taking care of the pets in boarding to! I have tons of years of experience! :) I stay home full time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your babies and play/love on them! We also have 4 sweet babies of our own, that can be played with or put up pure your request! I walk pets outside with leash to insure no one gets away or hurt! I also have 4 sweet babies of my own for your fur babies to play with, but can accommodate to your needs if needed or requested!

“Nicole was so wonderful! If there were more stars, I would definitely give them. She was so communicative and kind. And I could tell she took care of my pups just like how I would. She sent tons of photos and quickly responded. I’m always a little anxious to leave my babies, but she eased all the worries. I hope to board with her again.”


“We were in Callaway, VA for a wedding and we left our pup with Maribel and her family for the day while we attended the event. Leading up to our trip, Maribel put me at ease with fast and professional communication and flexibility when our drop-off time changed. During the visit, Maribel shared awesome pictures of our pooch in action. Upon pickup, pup was all smiles and tail wags. It is evident that Maribel and her family treat your pet like their own during boarding. We were able to attend the wedding worry-free, knowing that Dante was in great hands. I HIGHLY recommend Maribel for your pet sitting needs.”


“I cannot say enough about Krystal and her family! Truly the best dog sitter I could ever dream up!! She loved our sweet poochie like her own! She sent me daily updates with pictures and details about how he was doing, and what fun activities they were doing with him! She has a gorgeous area in her home dedicated to doggy sitting, and it is just lovely. They took him on walks and puppy stroller rides when the pavement was too hot for his little feet. They worked on his tricks with him, they even bought him a new toy just for the fun of it! I had no doubts that he was being well cared for, and that was so comforting to me while we were traveling. I will 100% use Krystal again, and recommend her to everyone!!”


“First visit! I really appreciated the communication and coordination, so easy to work with. Hops (the dog) came home happy and healthy. Theresa took great care of her; I would book again and refer her!”


“Natalie is so amazing with Luna and she loves coming to hang out and play. Natalie has taken such great care of my fur baby both times and I couldn't be more grateful that I can leave her and not have to worry 😊”


“This boarding was exceptional!! Everyone welcomed my Roxie into the family! She came back home happy and tired!! Shelli sent a report every day with a picture - they were always doing something. Roxie also loved her new friend, Luna. My dog was busy, happy, well-cared for, and loved! It doesn't get any better than that.”
