“Riley was amazing! Ryder has a good amount of anxiety and she was patient with him and treated him like her own. Sent lots of updates throughout his stay! Will definitely use Riley again!”

“Elizabeth and Denton have the best location for our two pups. They have provided the best care and we never worried about them while we were away. The farm is a wonderful environment for our pups and we will always book with them when they are not booked up! Patricia H”

“Rebecca took great care of my dog while I was away for several days. She gave consistent updates with pictures and assured me that he was doing well. I highly recommend her!”

“Brooke communicated well, sent lots of pictures and was flexible and ready to help with any concerns we had. Clover enjoyed the yard and had a great time during her visit to Brooke’s house!”

“Linkin had a wonderful time with Julie and her family! I could not have asked for a better communicator, and “fill in” dog mom while I was away! Linkin was well taken care of and sooo happy! Thank you for your help!”

“Indiana had a great time. He didn’t even seem that excited about seeing me so that tells me he was very comfortable with Elizabeth. We will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again.”

“Great experience with Madison and Ryan. They were very responsive and all communications sent. Great updates including pictures took really good care of Cody, including plenty of woods walks and attention. They also managed his limes disease medication for the long weekend. Would definitely book with them again!”

“Jess and James were awesome! They made our dog feel right at home, cuddled on him, played with him, exercised him. They sent pics every day, and I could tell from the photos that our dog very comfortable in their home with them. We hope our dog can visit again.”

About: I've been taking care of animals of all kinds since I was 12! I started volunteering early with a local humane society and have been active in rescues ever since. I have also fostered dogs from two months-10 years old, including medical fosters, so I'm comfortable giving pets medicine if need be. I currently work at UVA in their communications office, where I have a lot of flexibility, especially on Thursdays and Fridays when I work remotely. I'm available most weekends and many holidays! I live in a shared house with a unfenced backyard and a couple of roommates, both of whom love dogs! There's a trail near me that I enjoy walking dogs on if they are OK with other people/dogs. Otherwise, I take dogs on walks once or twice daily.
“Caroline took great care of our boy while we were on a long vacation! We got tons of updates and pictures and our dog seemed happy and tired when we got back.”

“Laura kept our 9-month old, 70lb 'puppy' for a week and we had a great experience. Laura was prompt, easy to deal with and kept in regular touch with us while we were away. Our dog had a learning curve to contend with - it was her first Rover experience and her first time living around other dogs. Laura handled it all without complaint . She provides lots of room to run, play and be free at her space.”

“Myra went above and beyond for our dog! We had booked another sitter for a week who backed out 3 hours into the reservation. Myra changed her schedule to take our Yorkie, Buttercup. She said Buttercup arrived smelling like pee and skittish. She bathed her and she and her daughter cared for her like she was their own. We returned to a happy and well-cared for pup. We got pictures and updates every day. I felt completely comfortable and happy with our dog in Myra’s care.”

“Tyler was communicative, helpful, and flexible! Sundance had the best time out on his farm and came home happy. You can really tell Tyler enjoys time with animals and treats them like one of his own. Highly recommend!”

“Susann’s family of critters was just what our cat needed to not feel lonely while on vacation. I got updates and queries at various intervals. We look forward to booking again!”

About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.
