âJenna was a wonderful sitter for our pup! They had a blast together and our pup was able to get a good walk, lots of play, and snuggles. We appreciate Jenna so much and weâll definitely use her again!â

âCourtney & Kam were amazing! We had a super informative meet and greet in the beginning. They had my boy over Christmas and I got pictures every day. I could tell how happy he was there. When I picked him up, he was super happy to see me, but I could also tell he was kind of sad to leave them. They went on many hiking adventures and he came back just as clean. Courtney & Kam were super flexible with the time, especially when I had to extend my trip a couple days early. Overall, I would recommend them. I could tell they loved my pup with all their heart!! They were super professional and very kind. I also saw how well kept and nice their home was.â

âKurt was the perfect dog sitter. We felt like we left Luna with a friend! He send pictures and updates throughout her 10 day stay. We will definitely use his service again!â

âMaverick loves when we pull up to Nancyâs house. Itâs his home away from home! He has an instant dog friend and a warm & cozy house to play and relax in. I love getting pictures of him playing with DeDe and other dog friends. Iâm so thankful Nancy is very accommodating with our crazy drop off and pick up times!â

âCheryle and Henry were wonderful, loving sitters for our dog when we came to visit Virginia Tech! They sent me photos and updates when he was with them and made sure he was comfortable in their home! They offered me coffee for our long drive home! We will be returning for their excellent care of our fur baby! I highly recommend them!!â
âHannah was a great sitter with Molly! She was super flexible when I had a last minute need. While it was only a short bit, I could tell Molly was comfortable and well taken care of. She walked her and sent pictures! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the area!â

âAlways responsive. Knowledgeable about animals. Her pup is now our pups new best friend. Our pup runs to her door when he gets out of the truck. When that happens you know she is good to them <3â

âSydney was wonderful with both my mini schnauzers. She took care of their every need and gave them lots of love. We have rebooked with her for several more dates and will continue to book with her for boarding in her home.â

âMy little guy had the time of his life with Angela and her little doggo. Knowing that my companion doggo was getting love and affection and bonus a built-in playmate made all the difference in the world. My doggo and I could not have been any happier with his stay.â

âLiz was amazing with our pups - her property is perfect for them to roam and explore. Her experience with reactive dogs was super helpful as our younger pup is still working through some trauma from experiences pre-adoption, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands.â

âThis is Ramboâs second home. He really loves it there and has so many friends. He goes on lots of walks and clearly loves them. I feel like Iâm dropping him off at his grandparentâs house. LOL. Thanks again Linda and David. â¤ď¸â
About: I have a small bichon whoâs my first dog. I trained him alone and have been the sole provider for him. I even take him with me to college and have learned the ins and outs! Iâve even taken care of my friends dogs as well during their trips! I am available most times everyday. Iâm home for the summer and have my own transportation. I can be there within minutes if itâs needed! The pets come first 100%. After everythingâs taken care of I like to clean after them and make sure everythingâs how it was before I even stepped inside!

âWill use Richard and Kelly again moose went on daily hikes we got photos they answered every time we had a question in a quick manner and moose was happyâ

âEmily did an amazing job taking care of our dog Gamora. She had so much fun playing with the other dogs in Emily's care. We boarded Gamora with Emily for a week and we definitely recommend her! She is very sweet and always takes good care of our girl and updated us everyday with plenty of cute pictures!â

âWalt kept our boy, Teddi, for four days. Teddi is a 3 yo intact English Shepherd who has never spent a night away from us. Teddi is a very well behaved and friendly boy but we were a bit anxious how this would go. Walt kept us well informed on how Teddi was doing. Walt gave Teddi great care and a lot of attention. When we returned to pick up Teddi, it was obvious that he and Teddy had bonded very well. We are very pleased with the care that Walt provided and will certainly use him again.â

âWe had an amazing experience with Shannon. She sent photo and messaging updates! Our Boo had a great time and I never worried about him. She would be our first choice to board again!â

âSamantha kept great communication with me and sent frequent updates that were so appreciated! She was also really accommodating of my unknown/changing schedule for drop off and pick up.â

Definitely recommend Hannah, she is so kind and flexible! I can tell she has a great love for animals and is attentive to their needs. While on a walk, she is on the lookout for other dogs, which I greatly appreciate because of my reactive dog. I feel safe and comfortable with her caring for my precious pup. she sent all of our toys and blanket back in the same condition. Also, she sends updates and pictures!!

Coco had the best stay with Leah! She kept me updated on Cocoâs doings through the whole stay, was extremely responsive and flexible and treated Coco so well. Extra stars for making herself available on short notice and being so gracious with my husband and me when our pickup ran later than expected.

Caroline was fantastic! She sent me lots of updates on how my sweet pup was doing while we were away and she was so flexible in working with my schedule. I would recommend Caroline to anyone looking to board without the stress (for you or your pup) of other animals being around!
Olivia took excellent care of our older dog over a recent long weekend. Having farm animals next to the property was a bonus - the dog got to watch them from a safe distance, which we are sure entertained her quite a bit. Olivia made sure our dog got plenty of exercise and TLC, and she kept us informed about our dog's activities through notes and photos.
