About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”

About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I grew up on a farm, so animals have been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember.

When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to stick closely to their normal routine—because pets feel safest when things feel familiar. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, going for a walk, playtime, or just offering some company and belly rubs, I’m all about making your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I’m respectful of your space, leave things how I found them, and always send updates so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.
