Dog Boarding in Amherst, VA

“Casey is amazing. It was our first time leaving our dog with anyone and we were delighted to see her on daily walks and sleeping soundly under her Christmas tree. She took the time to get to know Luna and sent daily updates on how she was doing/feeling. Casey was also very flexible and understanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much!”

“Monica was an excellent host for our young puppy girl. She has a wonderful place for pets to stay, and you can tell that she truly loves taking care of other peoples pets. Our puppy had no problem staying with them, and enjoyed meeting her family. We will definitely use Monica‘s services again!”

“Very amazing service! So professional and extremely nice person. Took amazing care of our baby girl. We definitely recommend. Such a gem, we got updates during our trip almost everyday! We loved that our pup loved her stay.”

“Laura is amazing with our puppy. She drops in on her at our home a couple of times a week and most recently had her over for boarding in her home for a few days. She gives great updates and cares for our puppy as her own. We are thankful to have found Laura to care for our puppy!”

“Trooper helped us out by boarding our recently adopted Shih Tzu Stanley over the Thanksgiving holiday. Our new fur baby came to us with somewhat severe behavioral issues and was not ready for a large get together with kids so we reluctantly decided to board him during our travels. After connecting with Trooper, we had every confidence that Stanley's aggressiveness would not be problematic during his stay, and were so pleased with how well he was cared for. We received updates and pictures and were so relieved he received a safe, warm and friendly place to stay. Trooper has a huge dog-friendly compound where his dogs and those who he boards have plenty of room for running and playing, and a fantastic heated kennel house where the dogs are safe and protected from the elements. We provided all of Stanley's food, treats and creature comforts so he would feel more at home, and he was in very good spirits when we came to retrieve him. We would definitely trust Trooper with Stanley or or other senior Shih Tzu in the future. Highly recommend!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Alexis, I am 27 years old, and I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up I helped my dad with training his rabbit dogs and attending to their needs while he was at work or etc. I am born and raised in Amherst, VA. I own my own townhouse in Madison Heights. Although, the area is not fenced in there is a nice big yard for your fur-baby to get plenty of exercise and exposure to the sun and fresh air!! There is sidewalks in the neighborhood that makes it easy for taking walks. I am here to care for your fur-baby as you would. I will pet, feed, walk, play, brush attend to your fur-baby's needs. You and your fur-baby will be happy with my services. I do work 40 hours a week from home which allows me to have more time at home to attend to your fur-baby. Your dog/cat will be able to roam freely in the house unless otherwise requested. I do not work weekends, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I can easily crate your dog as needed. All dogs are walked on leashes when we go for walks. I respect your wishes in my home and your home.

“Marketa and family were absolutely wonderful hosts for my 8 month old shepherd mix. They provide continuity with at home expectations, superb communication, silly updates and quirky photo moments. We felt so comfortable leaving Bodhi with her. She has a fence, another dog to play with, kids and she only accepts one dog at a time. We’ll def be calling again. ?”

“Jané did a wonderful job looking after our Australian Shepherd. She was a great communicator and sent multiple doggie updates a day including photographs. Her house has a big backyard that's fully fenced in so there's plenty of room for dogs to run safely. She also took our dog on multiple walks a day. You can tell Jané sincerely cares about animals and she's great at caring for them. I look forward to boarding with her again!”

“Jason was wonderful with our dog! Sent pictures and let us know how she was doing the whole week we were away. It was great being able to relax while being away knowing our girl was getting such great care.”

“Amanda was such an awesome dog boarder. She really eased our stress about using rover for the first time. Not only did she communicate quickly and updated us on how our dogs were doing with details and pictures, we really felt our dogs received the love and exercise they needed. She was also very flexible and adaptable to our needs and schedule, even when we had to push our pickup time later due to travel issues. Amanda made us feel comfortable about being able to administer eye drops if our dog had a flare up of her eye issue as well as being capable and able to handle our other dog who likes to escape. Our expectations were truly exceeded and we think we made a perfect choice. We will absolutely be using her again in the future to take care of our dogs.”

“Falen was very flexible and accommodating at the last minute. She really came to the rescue and my dogs felt very safe and garnered a lot of love and attention during their stay. The communication was superb and top-notch. Thank you Falen!”

“Donna did a great job with Zoe. Zoe had fun while at Donna's house. I will definitely be contacting Donna again!”

“Thanks so much for taking care of our Pepper girl while we were out of town! We loved the photos and video that were sent and knew she was in good hands! Pepper looked like she had so much fun running around the backyard with her new friends!”

“Bentley had such a great time playing and hanging out with friends at Thalita's. He had a yard to run and play in and got lots of live and attention. It was the first time we had ever borded our pup, so I was extremely anxious. Thalita was very understanding and sent us pictures of him throughout his stay. She took great care of our boy!! We will definitely use her again.”

“I am leaving this review about two months late, but I have never returned to my Boston Terrier happier than she was after staying at Jessi’s! Everything went better than perfect and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!”

“Tierra was so sweet and accommodating. I could tell Kylo loved hanging out with her and playing fetch going for walks. Turn it over 10 would recommend her for any pet sitting needs and plan to use her in the future.”

“Truman loved being at Alliyah’s house! She treated him like one of her own, checked in with me often and sent photos. When I went to pick him up, he had made himself at home and wasn’t sure if he was ready to leave all the cuddles and play time.”

“Awesome sitter was nervous at first because one of my dogs has anxiety issues but they helped so much with that and updating me constantly! Will definitely book again next time I go out of town”

“Katelyn was fantastic! My other rover sitter had to cancel an hour before I was set to drop Ruger off. Katelyn was fast to respond and extremely accommodating on such short notice. Ruger had a blast playing with her dog and she kept me updated with photos. I couldn't ask for a better rover experience.”

“Madison is fantastic; reliable, good communication skills, very thorough. We trust her with our home and our pets. Not to mention, her own pup is absolutely precious. Highly recommend Madison to anyone who is looking for a sitter/walker!”
