“During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!”

“Cyndi is such a gem. Fred loves his time with Cyndi and it is clear she truly loves dogs. It is so nice to come home from a trip to a happy , relaxed dog that enjoyed his time away as much as we enjoyed ours.”

“Matt was absolutely wonderful our Dalmatian, Juniper! He was also so accommodating when our flight home was cancelled resulting in us picking her up a couple hours later than originally scheduled. I would highly recommend him if you ever need a sitter for your dog, and would not hesitate to book with him in the future.”

“Jeff was great to work with! He responded quickly to all messages and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. He provided daily photo or video updates and Carmen felt good when she got home. We will definitely request him again!”

“We are newer to the area and this was our first time needing a dog sitter. Lauren was very responsive and wonderful. She also sends lots of great photos and takes lots of walks. Hopefully she will be available again if and when we need a dog sitter.”


“Hilary and her family were great with Dallas! We are so thankful to have been able to place him in the care of a wonderful family while we traveled out of the area and celebrated our youngest daughter’s birthday ?”

“My first time using Rover and Amy was the best. She was very communicative with me while Fritz and Floki relaxed at her house! Very nice experience and I will definitley use her services again!”

“Aaren and Jordan were such fabulous sitters for my itty bitty 80lbs pittie! They sent several pics and vids throughout his 2day stay which definitely put me as ease. Highly recommend!”

“I can never say enough about about her wonderful services. My dog is older and has some special abilities that need to be tended to. She has dogs herself that are gentle and playful that supplies my dog with a plenty of playmates. She also never kenneled my dog which was a big worry for me. Time and time again I would never choose anyone else to take care of my sweet boy.”

“Im so glad my little guy got to stay with Emily and her daughter! He came home happy and healthy, and Emily sent some photos and updates while we were away. Great and quick to communicate! Highly recommend.”

“Pamela, Paul, and Marlowe took excellent care of our dog while we took a 10-day trip, and she is now best friends with Marlowe! Will hope to bring her back to them for ever!”

“Nicole was a great sitter! She provided daily updates and answered right away when I had any questions. My dog had a great time staying there. She was in good hands and would definitely book with Nicole again!”

“Sherri is very caring and honest. I was happy that Maggie was in good hands for 1 1/2 days. Highly recommended. She has a heart of an angel. I am disappointed that she is moving to another state.”


“Amanda was the greatest puppy sitter while we were out of town for a week. We looked forward to her texts with photos and videos every day. My 2 had a great time with her 2 ❤️ We will definitely have Amanda watch our babies again. Thank you!!”

“Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!”


“Julie and her husband were so amazing with my pup, Ziggy. We had just moved to the area and were nervous about having leaving him in a new place so soon, but Julie’s kind nature and love for dogs put our mind at ease! Ziggy loved having their pup Heidi to play with as well! We feel lucky to have found Julie here in RVA. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our baby! ?”

This was our first time using Rover and we were very happy to find Julie and Eric. Their communication was great, they were very enthusiastic, kind, and attentive with Tanner. We felt comfortable knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. Tanner was his normal, happy self when we picked him.

Kailey took great care of our 4 year old lab grand-dog, " Hank." We needed last minute help with Hank and Kailey responded and was able to take him for a same day reservation. He spent two nights with Kailey and we greatly appreciate her flexibility and the care she took of him. We ill definitely use her in the future.

Elana was wonderful and we are so lucky she was able to help us with a last minute holiday boarding for our older dog! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable and happy and even shared her own dog's new toys with our dog on Christmas so that he would be happy and less anxious. She was extremely communicative and asked good questions beforehand that we appreciated since it was clear she had been around dogs a lot and knew how to keep them safe, happy, and well cared for. She sent us regular updates and pictures and even accommodated a last minute request to extend the stay a day longer. Would recommend.

Carolina was so attentive and caring with Tuna and really treated her like her own ❣️ I had to go on a long trip but Carolina's consistent updates and photos left me feeling really reassured that tuna was being cared for and was having a great time as well. Care instructions were diligently followed and her experience in caring for dogs really shines ⭐✨ would definitely recommend her boarding services and will be booking with Carolina again for future needs for sure!
