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.

About: Ive grown up with animals and took an interest in training and sitting when I was around 10 years old. I have experience training and watching family dogs, reactive dogs, service dogs and puppies! I also have multiple animals of my own and am well versed in the different care that different species may need. When I am home, my attention is 100% on my animals. I do have a full time job in a neighboring city and am gone for normal work hours, but devote time and attention when I am home. In my own home, everybody has their own space. With dogs, cats and bunnies, each animal has the ability to socialize or spend time on their own in their space. Each animal has been trained to appropriately interact with each other.

“Johanna is amazing! Great communication and very professional. She took great care of Reed and always let me know he was ok. I would highly recommend her service!”

Rachel M.

“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: 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.

“She was amazing. Tiggy loved her and she took such good care of her. And she took care of me by sending pictures and an update with each message!! Thank you so much.❣️❣️❣️”

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 .

“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.”
