“Roman’s stay with Amy was great. I received lots of updates during his time away and Amy kept him entertained with lots of fun and play. Roman even came back smelling like a basket of clean laundry with fresh flowers on top!”


“Lucky was great for watching our dog Finnley. They were very flexible with dropoff and pickup times, and Finnley was so excited when we got there. The daily check ins included how he slept and ate the previous day, and how he was doing overall. Any questions we had were answered quickly. Finnley was well looked after while we were away, and we definitely plan on booking with Lucky again in the future!”



“Very carrying and dependable. Kept us informed each day by providing us pictures of our beloved dog. Will use her again for sure. Bentley came home happy & no stress.”


“My Golden Retriever, Mojo, had a blast over the 4 days he spent with Zach and his family. I especially appreciated the many photos and updates while I was away on my vacation. I would highly recommend Zach to care for your dog.”



“Sully had a wonderful stay with Cyndi! He was happy and well-loved while we were away. We received pictures multiple times a day and Cyndi went above and beyond to make sure Sully was comfortable and felt safe, even during all of the thunder storms during his stay. We can’t recommend Cyndi enough, she is fantastic!!”


“I would highly recommend Cassandre for watching your pet. She kept in good contact with us by sending pictures or txt. Ziggy enjoyed his time. I’ll be using her again!”


“Julie is awesome! She went way above and beyond what I expected and made huge efforts to make Ginger (my high-energy Harrier) comfortable in her home. I love that she used positive reinforcement to keep Ginger inline instead of negative feedback. Ginger even escaped from her house and thank goodness Julie was able to call her back. Julie sent tons of updates via video and pictures keeping me well informed of everything going on during her stay. Ginger had ZERO separation anxiety when I picked her up and brought her back to my house. She normally has very extreme separation anxiety and I was out of town for a long time, so this was a HUGE relief for me (and Ginger I imagine as well!) Having Ginger stay in a loving home environment was so much better for her than the typical dog boarding environments. I feel like I picked up Ginger from an extended sleepover, not an exity filled environment typical to boarding. I highly recommend Julie to watch your pet!!! Your little one will feel so loved and welcomed. Julie is awesome!!!”


“Paula agreed to a last minute booking to look after my newly adopted and skittish pup for an extended day trip. Can’t say enough about her patience and caring nature for a pup in need. Thank you, Paula!”



“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! ?”


“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.”


“Kaitlyn is friendly and super accommodating to make sure your dog has a wonderful experience and time while you’re away! She made sure my dog was at home and part of her family. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Definitely will want to utilize her again.”


“Thanks for taking such good care of Audie! We were nervous that he’d be lonely without us, but he had a great time—enjoying long walks, playing with his new dog buddy, exploring the property, and posing for pictures! The daily updates with photos and videos showed how much fun he was having, and how much personal attention you provided throughout his stay. A+ !!!”


“I can’t imagine ever leaving my dog with anyone else, Sheri and her family are FANTASTIC. They took such good care of my dog, sent daily updates with photos, threw my dog a birthday party, and went above and beyond literally every single day she was in their care. I highly recommend Sheri - she was communicative, kind, and flexible and I might just plan vacations around her availability in the future.”


“Henry really enjoyed staying with Jennifer! He was very comfortable at her house and loved the fenced in backyard. She took great care of him and had toys on hand he was happy to play with. Will definitely look to work with Jennifer in the future.”


“We've booked Denise three times in the past, even before we adopted the Great Dane. She's amazing and patient with our furry babies. Her knowledge and ability to cater to their needs are impressive. When my babies come home very stinky, it's a clear sign that they had a blast during their stay. I'd choose her as our pet sitter again in a heartbeat!”


“Andreea took great care of my dog Jovi. She sent me lots of pics and videos and was very friendly and flexible. I’m always nervous leaving him but she was great and made me feel comfortable-I will definitely use her again!”


“Elizabeth provided excellent care for Maddie during her one week stay at her home. She even cleaned the crusties out of her eyes I’m sure her mom is happy to get her lap and tv chair back to herself. We will absolutely use her services again.”


“Myra was amazing. This was my first time using Rover and my first time boarding my dog in a new area. She put me at ease, it was clear she fell in love with Baxter, and she sent more pictures than I would have expected. Everything exceeded my expectations. I am already looking at upcoming dates and hoping she will be available for those.”


“We were lucky that Jenna was available over the busy Labor Day weekend. Our dog had a great vacation in her care while we were our of town. He loved playing with her dogs, and came home happy and healthy.”
