About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life. I am an animal lover through and through. Every pet that comes through my door is treated as if it were my own. I am a stay at home mom so I am home most of the day. I only leave twice for 1 hour each time to care for some other dogs during the work week. We do have a sweet beagle named Buddy and 2 cats. The cats mostly live in my daughter’s room so if your dog is not cat friendly it’s no problem! I am here to offer a loving home away from home for the fur babies in our community while their humans are away. My dog, Buddy, is NOT an alpha dog so he gets along with everyone he meets. I have 18 acres to take walks as well as a fenced in yard for free play. I realize that everyone's family is different to include animal care/behavior so I will respect any guidelines you'd like to keep in place with respects to how they are fed, where they sleep, whether they are permitted on furniture, etc.

About: I’ve had a dogs all my life. My latest one passed last year.(miss him so much). I’m experienced in being with them. I can walk them, cuddle them and take care of them when you enjoy your vacation at peace. I work from home. So i can be with your fur ball at home. Monday to Friday. For Weekends we will have plan accordingly.Feel free to contact me with questions. I have a pretty sizable deck and fenced yard. So its very secure for the pet to run around and have some fun playing in the yard.

“Flora was very happy with Elizabeth. Thank you so much for accommodating her till late.”

“Our pups had a wonderful time with Leslie. I knew they would when we did a meet-n-greet. She is a loving dog person and they knew it right away. Her home is beautiful and accommodates dogs - lots of toys, blanket to snuggle in or rest next to Leslie on sofa. Backyard is big and fenced in - a doggies dream backyard. Leslie sent fun pictures and kept us up-to-date on their potty breaks. She walked the pups on a walking trails near her home which my dogs loved. Hopefully next time they will get to see the Canadian geese which visit the local pond regularly. We are so excited that Leslie has started Rover sitting — she is a gem and we are already signing up for another daycare sitting. 🙏🐾❤️”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 23. I love to pet and feed them. I treat dogs as part of the family. I am home full time and have plenty of time to care for dogs that need care. I also have two dogs of my own. We start our day at 6:30AM. I prepare and feed the dogs at 7AM, 12:00PM, and again at 5:00PM (If they are hungry). I let the dogs run in the yard for 30 minutes, after each feeding, i when the weather permits. We walk in the mornings, rhen again in the evenings. Dental treats and regular treats are given daily.

“Heather was great! Our pup had a great time and was made to feel like a member of the family! Heather was communicative and responsive and we would definitely have her take care of our pup again. Great fenced in yard too for plenty of room to play. She has 3 other dogs that were great playmates. Thank you Heather!”

“Thank you, Ellen! Our pup Cici had and awesome time. She usually doesn't eat when she is at a sitter for the first time. So, we knew she felt safe and at home when she ate while she was there. We loved all the photos, and we could tell she had fun because she slept like a puppy when she came home. We will definitely see you again!”

“Stephanie and her family are phonenominal! My dog had her first visit yesterday and was happy and tired from playing with their awesome dog, who is now her new best friend. I can't say enough about how Stephanie and her family went far above and beyond the call of duty yesterday, for us! I can't give this dog loving family enough accolades!”

About: What sets me apart is my years of hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I have experience with puppies who need patience and basic training support, as well as senior pets who require medication routines and extra gentle care. I always make a point to treat the pets like they’re my own and properly love and care for all of them. I’m a college athlete so I am home for winter and summer breaks and have full availability throughout every day of the week for pet sitting, walking and proper care! I’ve very attentive to the pets and will always have an eye out for them and pay attention to their specific needs. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding, exercise, medications, and house rules. I have younger siblings, so I’m very aware of safety and supervision, and I don’t have any pets of my own. This allows me to give full attention to the pets I’m caring for.

“Thank you rae for taking care of my sweet girl. She loves your home, exploring your yard , your dog and your cat. I know barbie wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else!”

About: I have had pets throughout my life & I have been relied on by friends to take care of their pets whenever needed. I am complimented on how well my dog is trained constantly, and I am not afraid to support with any other needs. I have a lot of flexibility during the day & throughout the week. Please message me to see if we can make something work for you. I have my own friendly dog to keep your pup company. I’m happy to adjust to whatever suits you and your puppers comfort level with strangers.

“Chaoran is great giving updates and Appa seems to really make himself at home with her! I appreciate her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and booking without much notice!”

About: I've owned a dog my entire life, until recently, when my beloved Titan passed away. I'm not sure when I will be ready for another addition to our family, but for now, I'd like to help take care of your fur babies and treat them like my own. I am a full-time stay-at-home mom to a sweet and kind 9-year-old girl who also loves animals. Being at home means your pup will rarely have to be alone! I have a nice-sized rear yard with a 6 ft tall fence, a clean, safe home, and a wonderful neighborhood for daily walks. I understand that pets are like family members and I promise to treat yours just as I would treat my own. XOX My day involves waking up at 7 AM and going to bed by 10 PM. I'm at home all day long except for quick errands. Your pet will rarely be alone! Safety, trust, and a positive environment are at the heart of how I care for every dog. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I prioritize safe routines, close supervision, and clear communication so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I make sure dogs are in a calm, clean, and secure environment where they feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free. Treating each dog as if they were my own is important to me, because a safe and trusting environment allows dogs to relax, build confidence, and truly enjoy their time while you’re away.

“Tyler enjoyed spending the day with Lisa yesterday. Mina and Lisa provide a safe, warm and loving environment for Tyler and we are confident that he is well cared for when he is with them.”

About: Please take a moment to read my full description 🐾💛. It’s very important to me that you do, as everything I include here is designed for the benefit of everyone involved —your pet, myself as their caregiver, and you as their loving parents, because I know your furry friend is truly part of your family and deserves the best care. You may find that what I’ve written here answers several of your questions, especially if this is your first time leaving your pet in someone else’s care. Here you’ll find all the details about boarding and daycare, including my routine, flexibility, safety measures, and how I care for each pet’s needs. If you have any questions or additional concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll be happy to answer everything you need so you can feel completely comfortable and at ease before booking. 🐾✨ ⸻ Hi! I’m Romely, a lifelong animal lover currently living in Virginia. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), so I can communicate comfortably in both languages —making it easier for you to feel understood and confident when we talk about your furry family member. 💬🐾 I began my journey as a rescuer and volunteer in animal shelters in Puerto Rico, caring for dogs and cats in delicate conditions and staying by their side until they found their forever homes. That experience taught me empathy, patience, and what it truly means to care from the heart. After moving to Virginia, I continued volunteering at local shelters, gaining even more experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and special needs. Caring for animals remains the heart of my daily life. At home, your pet will meet Athenas, my sweet, calm, and friendly dog who loves making new friends —both dogs and cats. I like to provide a balanced routine, with fun walks around our community’s pet park, interactive play, mental stimulation, and cozy relaxation time in a safe, loving environment. During their stay or care, your pet is my priority. I make sure they receive all my attention, love, and supervision so they feel comfortable, happy, and safe at all times. 💛🐾 For me, the most important thing is your pet’s safety and your peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I like to maintain constant communication with pet parents and share multiple updates throughout the day, whether it’s photos, videos, or messages showing how your pet’s day is going. 📸🐾 I never call unless it’s an emergency, but I genuinely enjoy keeping you updated because I know how important it is to feel connected and reassured. If you prefer a different communication style (for example, fewer updates or only once a day), just let me know —I’ll gladly adapt to your preferences. 💕 I’m trained in Pet CPR and First Aid, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I completely understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be hard —for both you and your furry friend. That’s why I do everything possible to ensure everyone feels comfortable and at peace from the very beginning. We love treating every pet as part of our own family, giving them the same love, respect, and attention we give to our own. ✨ I only host one family at a time to guarantee fully personalized care. For day sitting, I can care for up to two pets per day, always ensuring each one receives the attention, love, and space they deserve. We also love celebrating pets! 🥳 If your furry friend has a special day —like a birthday or adoption anniversary— please let me know. I enjoy hosting small “puppy parties” and making homemade pupcakes, decorating the space to make their stay extra special. 🎂🐾 📸 I also love photographing pets during their stay and sharing some of those joyful moments on Rover or social media, showing happy, everyday activities. If you’d prefer that I don’t post photos of your pet, please just let me know —I’ll fully respect your wishes. 💕 💻 Since I work from home, I’m not available for in-person meet & greets, as I often have meetings or need to be on call, and I wouldn’t be able to give you the full attention you deserve. I also made this decision because most of my apartment is carpeted, and some people prefer not to remove their shoes when entering. In our home, we don’t wear shoes indoors, keeping the environment clean and safe for the pets. At the entrance, we have a paw-cleaning station, where every time the dogs go out or come back in, we wash their paws with dog-safe soap and water before letting them walk freely inside the apartment. I’m happy to share details about the soap I use, and if your pet has any allergies or needs a specific type of shampoo, please let me know so I can use their own product and ensure their comfort and safety. 🧼🐾 It’s also very important to let me know if your dog has any food allergies or follows a strict diet. Sometimes a small piece of fruit, a bit of cheese, or a treat dogs love 🧀🍎 might sneak its way in —and I always want to make sure everything your pet receives is completely safe. 💕🐶 For Drop-Off and Pick-Up, you’re welcome to come right up to my door to say goodbye to your furry friend, or if you prefer, you can sit on the porch for a few minutes to have a calm and loving farewell. The same applies when you come for pick-up —I want both you and your pet to feel relaxed and supported during that transition. 💛🐾 🐾 I’m also very flexible with schedules and family needs. If you live nearby, I can offer free pick-up for your pet. If you’re a bit farther away, I can still help with transportation for a small, low fee, just to cover travel costs. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times —you can set them through the app, but if something unexpected comes up or you need to adjust, please don’t stress! I completely understand. If your dog is with me for day sitting and something comes up at the last minute where they need to stay overnight, don’t worry —these things happen, and I’ll gladly make sure they’re safe and comfortable for the night. 🌙🐾 And if your booking was last-minute and you didn’t have time to buy food or any items your pet might need for their stay, I can take care of that for you and do the shopping myself to make sure your furry friend has everything they need. 🛒💕 If, for any reason, your pet needs to extend their stay, I can often make exceptions when possible, even if Rover shows no availability. My priority is to keep everything stress-free for both you and your pet. 💕 That said, I’m happy to schedule a 15-minute virtual tour of my home, send videos of the community and the dog park, and meet through a video call before your pet’s stay. This way, you can feel completely comfortable and confident before leaving your furry family member with me. 💕 Thank you so much for considering my services! I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pet. 🌿🐶 I work from home full-time, so your pet will always have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and even for last-minute bookings, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is always cared for and never left alone. I live in a safe, pet-friendly community with its own dog park, perfect for daily walks, exercise, and playtime. At home, your pet will meet Athenas, our sweet and friendly dog who loves both dogs and cats. If needed, I can provide crate space or separate areas to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

“My Great Dane loves this family! He got really excited the second time we pulled up to their house and Darnell and his family are so reliable! They are very organized they go above and beyond to keep your pup safe and happy! I highly recommend Darnell.”
