Erica was fantastic! We were out of town for a week and needed someone we could trust to stay at our house and provide daily feeding and walks for our two dogs. We received daily updates, including photos of our dogs while eating, walking, sleeping, all the things. We came home to relaxed, stress-free dogs I even think our cocker spaniel developed a little crush on Erica! We plan on using Erica again in the future and have already recommended her to neighbors and friends.

Michele was amazing with my three animals— we were a last-minute booking and she came to meet them first and then worked hard to make them feel at ease. She was attentive, kind, and caring and sent us updates and photos to reassure us that all was well. She made our holiday trip possible and we are super grateful!!

Danielle did a great job taking care of our pup. She was on time for meets and clearly communicated her schedule and needs to ensure they met our expectations. She also sent lots of photos and videos of our dog while we were away. Would definitely book her again!

Jordan did an excellent job taking care of our two German Shepherds which can at times be challenging because of their energy and stubbornness! She sent regular updates, followed their routine, excellent communication, and our kept the house so neat and tidy! She was also so thoughtful and flexible in her willingness to stay longer if we had issues with our travel back home. We so appreciate this support especially during the holidays. She is an excellent sitter overall and I would highly recommend her!

About: I can't promise your pet(s) won't be spoiled! One level home with a playmate, our 17 yr old Dora, a 15 year old, sweet old aussie shepherd. I am retired and dogs are my passion. I am located in the George's Tavern area of Goochland. I am usually home daily. My schedule is flexible. We have a very large fenced yard. Your dog(s) will have room to explore inside and out. We can discuss any special needs. I have experience with all shapes, sizes and breeds, however, as much as I love them, I cannot handle bigger and stronger breeds.. Your dogs are my daily priority. I can schedule any time daily and I am open to a long-term boarding commitment when I am available. I have customers that found me through other avenues, and have outstanding reviews as I appear to have become Grandma to so many beloved pets I will provide references. I give lots of time and attention to all dogs giving special loving attention to the aging beauties. They all need lots of love and often need special care.

Zach and Logan did a great job with the pups over the wkend. They were helpful not only with them, but caring for my chickens and hanging baskets while we were gone. I was a bit apprehensive about having someone I didn't know stay in my home but they made it easy and are very trustworthy. They are good communicators and kept me informed throughout their stay on how the pups were doing. Highly recommend them. Definitely will call upon them in the future.

We highly recommend Riley. Our little Calli Has some anxiety issues, but she seemed to relax and accept Riley easily. She was in excellent spirits when we returned home, and was well cared for. Riley’s knowledge of pets and her love of them is obvious.

Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having

We could not have asked for a better sitter! Sarah watched our pups at our home for over two weeks. I was recovering from a big surgery, and her regular updates/pictures would always brighten my day! I could tell my pups were having a great time with her. She was so thoughtful and reached out to us any time she had a concern about the pups or the house. When we returned, our pups were happy and relaxed. They acted completely normal-like we had not been away for the past 2 weeks! lol That was the best outcome we could have hoped for, and is absolutely a testament to how well Sarah cared for them while we were away. Thank you, Sarah! Radio & Gus cannot wait to see you again!

Ada stayed overnight at my house with Bailey. She did an excellent job. Bailey loved her. She walked Bailey in the neighborhood and cuddled with her...No wonder Bailey loves her. She also left my house very nice and clean after staying there for 5 days. I will definitely call her again when Bailey needs a sitter.

Tina was wonderful with our puppy. He had never had a pet sitter before, and she took excellent and loving care of him, with lots of play time, exercise, and even some training. He even cried when she left! We will definitely ask her to take care of him again.

About: Hello my name is Jessy! I have had an undeniable love for animals since before I could walk! I worked at animal rescue for 4 years, where I became the farm supervisor and loved every single second of it!! I am doing rover because I have reached my adoption limit in my house (hehe oops!) so in order to fill my void for wanting to bring home more and more animals, I figured I would offer my love and affection in a way that can help other people’s fur babies! I know I sure do miss my pups while I am away. I know it can be stressful leaving your pet in the care of a stranger so I assure to send you plenty of pictures and updates throughout the time I am caring for your pet!
