“Crystal was very welcoming & took very good care of my 5 year old Shih Tzu Buster. She communicated with me throughout my trip & sent pictures of him to me. I was able to relax & enjoy my trip! I recommend her highly!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”
“Thia was my first time using Rover and Donna made the process very easy. She was helpful, responsive, and provided updates and pictures throughout my dog's stay. She treated my furbaby like her own. I will definitely be using her service again and recommend her to anyone”
“Our dog Dallas couldn't have been more happy and well taken care of during his stay. He's a wild energetic hound and had a blast playing with her dog. He came home happy and exhausted. Charlotte updated me regularly during his stay so I was always at ease knowing he was having a great time! I will absolutely use her again!”
“Paula was amazing with our pup Monty! Lots of updates on how he was doing, sensible questions that showed how much she really cared that he had a good time. We’re so grateful!”
“Kennedy was extremely kind. Our dog Remi can be nervous and she quickly came around to Kennedy. Kennedy provided daily updates and was quick to respond. She was very flexible of our travel times and understanding. We look forward to having Kennedy watch Remi again”
About: I am a big believer that humans need dogs as much as dogs need humans and I would love to be that human for your dog! I am currently a student at Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine earning a Masters degree in Biomedical science. I have classes during the week from 8-12, but spend every minute after class home in my apartment with the exception of an hour break to go to the gym. On the weekends i am often studying, so I will be home at all times. I have a small one bedroom apartment that has plenty of room for a dog to have free range. I allow dogs on the furniture and bed so that is no issue. There is plenty of room for a crate, which i would prefer if I am leaving the dog alone while I am at class. There is an excellent 2 mile walking trail around my complex that I do daily and would love to take your dog as my companion!
“Had to find an overnight stay for my aussie Koda somewhat last minute and I’m very happy we ended up with Jessie! I rarely spend a night away from Koda so it’s always hard for me to leave him in someone else’s care, but Jessie was great. She sent lots of cute photos of him playing with her friendly pups, was very responsive, addressed my specific requests (Koda has food allergies, etc), and Koda came home tired and happy! Would definitely book her again in the future.”
“I contacted Marah very last minute to watch my dogs for me for the weekend and she responded almost instantly. When i took my dogs over for a quick meet and greet they immediately made friends with the other dogs there and Marah treated them like they were her own. I received picture and text updates about how they were doing daily. They got to play with other dogs at her house and at the dog park over the weekend which I'm sure they loved. When i picked then up on Sunday they were both thoroughly exhausted. I will definitely be bringing them back”
“We had a last minute thing come up and Deann was ready and willing to take in our cats on such short notice. She took care of them as if they were her own and was amazing to work with! From updates and photos from drop off to pick up. You couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for your kitties! 12/10, will book again!”
“Lawdy was great to work with! She watched our two dogs for almost a full week, after being asked very last minute, and she gave them the love and attention they needed while she had them. We also had our return flight canceled because of the Microsoft crash (July 2024) and we needed to get home, so we rented a car to drive home instead. It took us an unexpected extra day to get home to pick up our fur-babies, and she made it so easy and stress-free. We would definitely recommend Lawdy for your dogs. 💕”
“Madison ALWAYS takes such great care of Lexi! This was our first overnight and we/Lexi couldn't be happier with all the attention she received from Madison and her family while visiting. We look forward to booking Lexi's next visit soon!”
“Deena and her husband took great care of our dog Nutmeg. We received photos and updates everyday, which kept us at ease throughout our vacation. Nutmeg was a very happy dog when we picked her up. Deena and her husband are great people and would highly recommend them to care for your animals.”
“Zeke had a wonderful stay with Rebecca! He was well cared for and comfortable being there. She took awesome care of him and I felt really good about him staying there. She kept me updated with pictures and notes. I will be using her services again!”
“Lindsey was so amazing with Zade and he had the best time! I didn’t have to worry for a second about him being in good hands because she was so great with him! With out a doubt will use Lindsey again if needed in the future!”
“Melissa was super attentive to our post-surgery boy's needs while we were away. I got updates every day with his progress. She even introduced him to new things. He was quite the happy dog when we got home. We'll definitely call on her again when we can't take Kai with us.”
