About: My wife and I had a successful dog-sitting business using a different app for years. Your pet will be well cared for. If they are on a special diet, no problem. I am organized and will ensure your pet is well-fed, walked, and playing. My wife and I are working from home so we will be happy to set your pet for you while you vacation or just want to take a little break. Your pet will be able to chill and relax or we can go to the near by dog park to get rid of that puppy energy. I have an open schedule. I work as a Lyft driver and have a side business. I have plenty of time to walk and play with the pets we care for. We ha e a fenced in large yard with plenty of space for the dogs to run and play in. They always enjoy playing and running in the yard.
“Very accommodating and good communication!”
“This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”
“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”
“Danielle and Matt were amazing - so responsive and helpful with our dog despite the last minute ask. They kept us updated about how he was doing throughout the day as well which is always appreciated!”
About: I've always had dogs and cats, and for a short time, pet rats (they're actually really lovely!) I come from a long line of animal lovers and continue that legacy. When in my care, pets are enriched and have plenty of opportunity for activity. If your dog enjoys swimming, I can take them to a nearby creek to play. I have a large yard for playing fetch, and a spunky lab mix that is happy to play tug-o-war. I am very attentive to animals and put them at ease so they settle into their home away from home. I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, so I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times unless otherwise communicated. I am in RVA most weekends as well. I have a fenced backyard and a dog and 2 cats. The cats have been around other dogs, and Eddy the dog loves other dogs- he has lots of energy to share!
“Reese's stay was amazing with Nicholas and his pup! Our girl is high energy and came home tired and happy. We got pictures of her having her best day both outside playing and inside napping, which we appreciated on this hot summer day. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you!”
“Kat was great! She responded to my last minute request quickly and was in constant communication with me throughout the day. Kat also was very flexible and understanding when I had to go past my original pickup time. I also was returned a very happy and tired puppy! I would absolutely use Kat again.”
About: Hi, I’m Leah – your pups new favorite person! As someone who has previously owned/inherited 3 dogs, I know how hard it is to leave your best friend with anyone that’s not you. That’s why I don’t take this responsibility lightly—your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort come first! I grew up with dogs and have spent my life around wagging tails and unconditional love. Whether your pup loves long walks FULL of sniffs, tug-of-war, or just cuddles on cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and at home. I’ve also cared for reactive dogs in the past—including my own—so I really understand how important it is to create a calm, safe space where they can feel secure. I know every pup is different, and I always lead with patience, empathy, and lots of love. Think of me as your dog’s vacation buddy while you're away💕 I work from home and am mostly always home during the evenings. I don’t have meetings too much so I can take your pup out and about as many times as you’d like. I have an apartment but live right beside a green space. I also love taking pups on car rides so happy to take them on hikes or go to the river!
“Caroline is very friendly and responsive. She immediately clicked with my mini poodle after their first meeting. She sends great pictures and video updates so you know how your baby is doing throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her for daycare.”
“Aliza was awesome! She was available at a somewhat last minute request. She was very responsive and Rusty seemed to have a great time. Aliza was also very timely and I didn’t have to wait at all for drop off and pick up :) would definitely use again!”
“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”
“Toffee could not have been happier to return to Amanda's for some last minute day care.”
“Tim and his wife are very pleasant and I was even invited inside their cozy living room. Nice neighborhood and they have a nice yard in the back. Also, our communication before and during Anis stay was very easy. I’d definitely book again.”
About: I have owned dogs almost my whole life. Growing up many neighbors and friends trusted me to dogsit for them without issue. I am very accommodating and try to be understanding of the dogs emotions. I’m currently unemployed, so I can devote all of my time to your pet. I am able to bring my dog almost everywhere with me and yours could too. We have a spacious apartment with a nice balcony with turf in case of emergencies (my dog never needs it but it’s been helpful with other dogs). I try not to let the dogs get bored by playing with them and bringing them with me wherever I go.

“I could tell Goose had such a good time at Celia’s by how happy she was when I picked her up! also sometimes Goose won’t eat at daycare if she’s too anxious, but with Celia this wasn’t a problem at all! I could tell she was so well taken care of and she got along well with both Celia and her pup. I’m really happy with how frequently Celia was able to take her out on walks and how attentive she was. On top of that, Celia was super communicative and sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend to others and would definitely come back for daycare again!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Katelyn recently pet sat for me and was phenomenal. Her high energy and passion for animals did not go unnoticed by myself or my pup, Lexi. Lexi loved spending time with Katelyn on multiple walks throughout the day and evening snuggles for their overnight together. Katelyn made sure my dog felt loved and had everything she needed. Katelyn was very communicative and sent picture updates to ensure I was in the know about what was going on with my precious fur baby while traveling. I will definitely have Katelyn back to care for my precious Lexi.”

Julie was so accommodating and sweet with our little Lola. Having a backyard to run around in was great! We’ll definitely be having Julie watch Lola anytime we are headed out of town!
Tim and his wife are very pleasant and I was even invited inside their cozy living room. Nice neighborhood and they have a nice yard in the back. Also, our communication before and during Anis stay was very easy. I’d definitely book again.
Jordan took great care of Lola. She was friendly, flexible, and communicative. Lola had a wonderful day with her and Callie May. It's clear she felt very comfortable and at home.
Kat was literally a LIFESAVER. I needed someone to watch my anxious boy last minute and she agreed to watch him so quickly and took such good care of him. Communication was excellent too!
My dog was very comfortable staying at Rose’s house for the day. She sent lots of photos and updates too. We’re looking forward to booking her again!
Reese's stay was amazing with Nicholas and his pup! Our girl is high energy and came home tired and happy. We got pictures of her having her best day both outside playing and inside napping, which we appreciated on this hot summer day. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you!
Nelly loved Katelynn! She was exhausted when I picked her up and Katelynn updated me all day with pictures and videos! I have no complaints and would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again 😊
Nelly loved Allison! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos of my girl. Made my workday much smoother knowing she was in such good hands. Nelly was worn out and slept all the way home. Will definitely be recommending her and requesting her again ☺️
Kristen was extremely flexible last minute but my schedule changed again and did not end up needing the service. Despite the inconvenience to her, she was very professional. I would highly recommend her to others simply for her communication and professionalism.
Emily was so great! She sent many updates of Sarabi which I loved. She made sure she was loved for the day while she was in her care. Will definitely be booking her again.
Lydie was absolutely amazing. Lydie's warm, engaging personality and her deep knowledge of dogs made for a wonderful stay. Betty's pictures told the story, she enjoyed her time completely. Everything went perfectly and Lydie accommodated our schedule. Thank you again.
Dom is great! His cool, easy going attitude was a perfect pairing for my anxious pup. When it was time to pick my dog up he hopped right back up on Dom's couch like he had moved in and was going to stay!
I highly recommend TC & Sage's Doggy Day Care! TC & Sage responded right away to my request on Rover and even invited my Bubby and me over for a meet-and-greet with them and their sweet, mellow pug Nike the day before, which I'm sure made my dog feel more comfortable when I dropped him off for day care. I recently adopted a 3 year old shih tzu - poodle mix who is affectionate and smart but not very well trained and a bit of a handful, so I was worried about how he'd behave. I didn't have to worry for long because TC texted me frequent updates and pics, and I could see Bubby was relaxed and having fun playing with Nike. That evening when we got home we worked on some leash training, and he was more attentive and did better than ever before - clearly having had a fulfilling day at day care. Also, TC & Sage are very friendly, honest, funny, and will make you and your dog feel very comfortable in their super cool space.
