About: Free Trial SleepOver at Lilibet's Place! Let’s first make sure our pups are compatible before booking a Pawsome Adventure! Request a Practice SleepOver at Lilibet’s Place for a convenient day; I’ll modify the current rate through the Rover app to be No Charge! Then book at least Seven Sleeps and know that your pup is in Good Hands and Good Paws! My pup Lilibet, named after Queen Elizabeth, is a six year old rescued Beagle Mix coming in at under 25 pounds and we are excited for our new adventure on Rover. Lilibet is not my first pup; I have over thirty years caring for dogs. SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place is designed for pet owners vacationing without their pups. I know how difficult it can be to find appropriate pup care while planning your own getaway. Please allow SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place to be your pups getaway with a buddy to play with during the day and two adults to love all over in the evening and weekends. We are minutes away from the Gypsy Hill Dog Park in Staunton, VA and a short Road Trip to Coyner Springs Park in Lyndhurst, VA with a Leash-Free Dog Park. There is a huge difference between a Medium Dog and a Large Dog! I am happy to entertain hosting your Large Pup if the connection is right. Lilibet enjoys playing with dogs over 40 pounds like an English Shepherd but a Doberman Pinscher coming in at 90 pounds might be a bit much for our setup. In determining if we are a good fit for your pups vacation, please keep in mind that: • I do not have any children in my home • We work outside the home and can monitor our pups using our Lilibet Cam • I am comfortable administering oral or subcutaneous injections • Lilibet is a client of Staunton Vet Clinic in town and we are ten minutes away from the Veterinary Emergency Services in Verona, VA SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place is intended to be a minimum of one week that begins on a Friday in order for our pups to become comfortable with each other. A prior Meet & Greet is required before confirming a reservation. This can be done in person near, but not in, the Gypsy Hill Dog Park; a Virtual Visit can initiate the Meet & Greet but we'll want to meet you and your pup in person. Your dog must be house broken as I work outside the home during the day. During holiday breaks I will make an exception to my “only one sitting assignment” policy to accommodate more Pet Parents if necessary! Outside of the holiday season, I will only take in one sitting assignment at a time. Lilibet has the run of the house while we are at work; she and your fur buddy are welcomed to lounge on the sofas, beds, or dog bed we provide. If your pup has their own home comforts they are welcome to pack an overnight bag for their stay to include favorite toys, treats, beds, and smells from home. During your pups vacation with SleepOvers at Lilibet's Place, you can select from one of Five Excursions during their stay to include: • A trip to Wright's Dairy-Rite, a local landmark for an adventure with a Pup Cup at their historic Curb Service. • An adventure to run free on the farm with other pups and cats while meeting the horses. • Gypsy Hill Dog Park is right around the corner in Staunton; your pup and Lilibet can meet neighborhood friends while under the watchful eye of their chaperone. • Does you fur baby enjoy the local watering hole? Lilibet and I have access to local rivers to enjoy a splash around. • We are also happy to customize an adventure to meet your pup's needs.

“Sammi is GREAT! Wonderful communication, prompt, and followed all instructions perfectly. Sammi clearly cares and I felt as thought my fur-baby was in the best hands during my last minute trip. Can’t wait to see Sammi again!”

About: Looking to see if anyone is interested in pet sitting/ walking services? I will come pick your pet up and watch/walk them whenever you need me too! 🐶 I am a very reliable, patient, positive and energetic person! Looking to spend some time with animals in between my work hours! I am a part time bus driver, with pups of my own and 2 young kiddos 🙂 I'm just trying to make a little extra income. I have multiple years of experience with animals. I can help with sitting, walking, Boarding and Pet Transportation. With me, your pets will receive appropriate care, and I'm willing to do additional other tasks if requested. -I'm an organizer, planner, and multitasker, so I'm able to provide a supervised and safe environment for multiple pets at a time. This is not limited to just dogs… I’ve had bunnies, fish, and lizards. I’ll even watch your birds, if you provide a cage! I am a part time school bus driver. So I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet in between my routes! I am available any day / weekend. Just reach out when needed! I have two small children to entertain your pet, and 4 fur babies of my own to play with and keep company! (I will post a picture of them) I can also crate your pet or my own if needed. We have a large laundry room where my pups go when they need some solitary/nap time. I do not have a fenced in yard, but we do live a mile or more off the main road. Also, we have a large yard to play in, frolic around, and watch for squirrels .

About: I haven’t yet met a dog I don’t like. Not so big on slobber, but I can get behind everything else. My entire dad’s side of the family has had dogs for as long as I can remember, and three years ago we adopted our own dog, Percy. I helped train him from five months old to now and I continue to help caring for him every day. I have dogsat for various families in my neighborhood and they always ask me to come back! I’m currently home from college for the summer with very little travel plans: the perfect pet sitter! I have tons of free time and a lot of love to lend your pets. In my own home, I pay special attention to my pets. I make sure any toys that are choking hazards are immediately thrown away and I make sure the litter box is clean/plenty of potty breaks are taken. In your home I will do the same.

About: Hi, I’m Leanne! Dogs have always had a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve spent years looking after dogs of all breeds and sizes, from growing up with family pets and fostering for a local rescue to caring for my own beloved Goldendoodle, Remi. She was with me for 10 wonderful years and taught me what it truly means to care for a dog like family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust completely with your dog- not just for feeding and potty breaks, but for companionship, affection, and consistent care. I treat every dog I look after as if they were my own, offering patience, attention, exercise, and support for any medical needs. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care in your home where your dog feels most relaxed, I’m here to help keep their routine smooth and stress-free. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. If you have any questions or just want to connect before booking, I’d be happy to chat. I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon. My schedule is flexible and I never leave the dog unattended for long periods of time if I’m dog sitting for extended periods of time. I care for each pet as if they were my own, always staying mindful of their unique needs, sensitivities, and any triggers they may have at home, outside, or around others.

“Nicole is great! She was extremely patient with my mini Aussie who needs time to warm up to new people. Nicole was easy to work with and listened to my dog’s needs to set them both up for a successful weekend while I was away. She took her time to ensure my dog was taken care of and comfortable and wasn’t phased by my dog’s initial wariness of new people. She clearly has tons of experience with dogs of all kinds. I will definitely be checking Nicole’s availability next time I need someone to check in on my dog.”

About: My dog-sitting history is primarily dogs with a variety of health issues and idiosyncrasies. Does your dog have special needs or odd habits? I've got it covered! Normies welcome too. ;) I work full time during the week, so I'm available weekends if you need me during the day or I can lend my services on weekdays evenings/mornings depending on proximity. I'm religious about monitoring doors and making sure everyone is appropriately harnessed/leashed. I have experience administering topical and oral medications and can maintain time-sensitive care schedules.

“Ashley responded quickly to my need for a house visit on the following day. She chatted with me about the dogs since she had never met our dogs before. All went well--she sent photos of the visit and left a nice note. I would be happy to have her come see our pups again.”

Patricia H.

“Elise did great with our big fur baby. She was on time, sent check in photos, and communicated when she left our home. I would absolutely use her again.”

“I felt comfortable with Meagan taking care of our dogs. She asked questions and got to know them beforehand which was nice. She sent us updates and pictures!! We hope to get Meagan to take care of our babies again in the future.”

Marie B.

“Very responsive, reliable, and great with our dog.”

Kevin G.

“Melissa absolutely rocks! We were gone for 7 days. She kept our dogs walked, brushed, and skritched. We got daily updates and at least 2 pictures each day. She cared for our babies as of they were her own. Highly recommend!!”

Robin R.

“Maria was great and my boys warmed up to her immediately. She was on time, followed all special instructions, and did absolutely amazing! Marco and Brody will be happy to have her check in again. Thank you Maria!”

Christopher S.

“Dana was an excellent caregiver and available on short notice. She was super communicative and patient with my dog’s social quirks. She was attentive to my dog’s needs, not just there to check the boxes and leave. When my dog had an accident, Dana had cleaned up the rug using her own cleaner. Very grateful my dog had her care while I was away on a trip!”

About: I've taken care of animals for most of my life. I've always had a dog since I was born and often take care of my friends' pets. I have the time and knowledge to love your baby like my own. I am a JMU professor who is on sabbatical until January. This means I am working from home and will have plenty of time for your pet's needs. I have a large yard with areas for dogs to play and run. I have a French Bulldog who loves other animals and is always looking for a playmate.

“Franki responded to a last minute request which was helpful. She was communicative and on time every check-in! Would definitely recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve had experience with helping with puppies and other ages of dogs. I personally have a cat of my own and I’ve had 4 years of experience with cats. I am currently working 35-40 hours a week and I am mostly free in the afternoons and evening. I am completely free on Sundays too! I follow the care instructions outlined by the owner and treat the pets with so much love. I can play with the pets as needed!
