“Thank you so much for taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation! And a special thank you for taking care of Joey while he wasn’t feeling well. You guys are awesome!”
“Mimi had a great time staying with Hazzar and her friendly pups and family. Hazzar kept me updated with pictures and tips for treats or types of food that Mimi liked while on her "pup vacation" and I felt confident Mimi was in good hands! Highly recommend Hazzar as a caring, reliable pet sitter guaranteed to take care of your pup and any stress you may feel leaving your pup.”
“Joe and Lilibet were very welcoming to Booker who very much enjoyed his time with them. Will absolutely book again. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a Rover in/around Staunton area.”
“Zander was great. He went over and above for our rather difficult chihuahua mix, Susie, who reacts negatively to air pressure changes due to rain and thunderstorms. I recommend him for any dog.”
“Jani and Paul were wonderful with my terrier, Eddie! I tend to worry about Eddie escaping, but their yard was very secure and they made me feel at ease. They sent lots of pictures and Eddie loved snuggling with them! I would highly recommend!”
About: I grew up working alongside my grandparents who were very big into rescuing and fostering animals in need. I have plenty of experience in medicating animals (even the feisty ones) and am always up for a little challenge. I currently have open availability throughout the week and can do overnights! I’d be more than happy to come to you, or your fur baby is more than welcome to stay here, whatever makes you most comfortable! My soul focus would be to make sure that your pet felt loved and safe while you’re away. There are currently no pets in my home so your baby would get my full attention and there’s a lovely park just behind my neighborhood with plenty of space to run, walk and play
“Tiffanie is amazing, and cared for my dogs as if they were her own, she went above and beyond assuring they had a fulfilled wonderful day. I'm looking g forward to Tiffanie taking care of my dogs in the future!”
About: Hello! Hola! I'm Zuleira, a dedicated pet sitter as a passionate animal lover, I have experience caring for a variety of pets. My goal is to provide reliable and loving care for your furry and finned family members. I offer a various of services to meet your pet care needs. I am here to ensure your dogs are happy and comfortable while you're away. ❤️ I am committed to providing the highest quality of care. I understand how important your pets are to you, which is why I treat them with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: First of all, my name is Toni. Rover will only accept legally changed names, and I haven’t gotten there yet. But I’m Toni M. and I started getting involved with pet care because of my mental illness and autism. The stress of life was lowering my ability to function and every job I tried seemed to make it all worse. Enter: Dogs. I decided if I was going to make it I needed to be doing something that gave instead of took from me. Animals have helped bring me back to life in the dark. I’ve worked with puppies and older dogs. I’ve spent significant time with dogs with anxiety issues as well. I tend to connect with dogs who need a little extra love the most anyway. If at all possible I prefer boarding as transitions can be a challenge but I’m usually up for anything the pet needs to feel safe and secure and do a lot of house sitting, too and am more than willing too. I try to keep all homes clean and tidy for the owner’s return. My own home is small, only two usable rooms, but has a large wooded yard and perfect spots for beautiful walks, or throwing a ball and playing fetch in our secluded field if the dog is not an eloper. My dog loved living in this home before he passed as it is quiet and peaceful, and playing ball was his favorite thing in the world. Hit me up if you need some help, as I’m quite passionate about this work and want to be of service. :) ✨ When a pet stays with me we have a routine. Coffee (for me), breakfast, walk. And in the evenings we eat, play, have downtime. I guarantee an hour of exercise a day for your pet as well. I always appreciate a crate just in case but that doesn’t mean I’ll use it. My home is small so if your dog is a big chewer it might not be the perfect fit for boarding unless a crate is available. I’m home almost all day and can monitor animals closely and give plenty of love. I like to play outside with the animals twice a day. Water bowel is always filled and animals are always welcome on my furniture. They’re free to make themselves at home.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up my father an I have rescued/relocated over countless dogs,cats, and other farm or domestic animals. Your pet(s) are in great experienced loving hands! I take pride in making sure all animals are relaxed and comfortable. It is my goal to meet and help all owners an their fur babies when life changes your schedule give me a call. I have many references and review outside of Rover so please feel free to ask any questions you may have prior to booking. Can't wait to meet you! I update my calendar weekly if not daily! Please don't hesitate to contact me on Rover. I am very flexible with being able to fit things into my schedule! Feel free to contact me anytime with questions, comments, or concerns! I have a large partially fenced backyard with plenty of room for your animals to run and play and get plenty of exercise as well as 2 friendly loving dogs of my own to keep them company. There is no need to worry for your Fur baby to roam freely outside of the propertyThe outer edge of the property is contained.
“Jon and his family were very gracious hosts for our furry family member. He was very thorough in asking about our beagle’s needs and provided all necessities for a successful stay: crate, bed, fenced yard, and lots of play and spoiling! It was comforting knowing that it was more of a retreat for our dog than boarding, and Jon went above and beyond to make things easy and successful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his hands and will be return customers! Thanks!”

About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats and have cared for several family members’ pets for over 20 years! I’m a huge animal lover and miss having one of my own. I’m a stay-at-home-mom of 3 kids so I have plenty of time to walk and play! My schedule is extremely flexible and I’m available on weekends. I have an unfenced yard and live 20 feet from the Crozet trail system, right next to Claudius Crozet Park.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dayton
Walter had a wonderful time with Elizabeth. She kept us informed how Walter was doing with pictures and texts. Walter even made a new doggie friend at her house. It was lovely to be able to enjoy our vacation and know that Walter was well cared for. My husband and I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone who asks. Thank you!
Celia was amazing! She sent plenty of updates - both photos and videos- and I felt great seeing how well cared for my dog was while I was away. She did slow introductions with her dogs so everyone felt comfortable. I would be happy to leave Bean Sprout with Celia again!

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dayton home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dayton.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
