Her flexibility and professionalism were impressive. I highly recommend LaShell for anyone seeking a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

“Best experience! She was amazing, patient, and caring! I will definitely book again, and recommend her to my friends! My cats had never been clipped, and they were skittish, but she helped calm them, and get the job done. No issues, they act as if nothing happened! Wonderful experience!”

“Jammie was absolutely fantastic! I had a family emergency where I had to fly out internationally ASAP. I did not realize I could not keep in contact with her prior leaving through the ROVER app. Luckily we were able to find a work around, and she accommodated me with ease. I could not of been happier, as this was my first time ever using such a program for dog sitting. Will definitely be using her services again in the future! Highly recommend!”

About: I have a current access card for the base. I have lots of experience with all breeds of dogs from a young age. I was involved in a local 4-H program starting in grade school, and am a current Berner mama. Puppies are also not a problem! I am currently staying home with my kids, and working remotely online, so my schedule is quite open. I am available consistently throughout the week. I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort by ensuring a secure environment, following all care instructions, and keeping a watchful eye during visits. Your pet's happiness and well-being come first.

“Taijah is amazing! We have used her for boarding and drop ins. She is great with Jax”

“5 star pet sitter! MacKenzie did exceptional with my two Belgian Malinois puppies, my Doberman, and Bichon Frise. MacKenzie was punctual, followed all my instructions, addressed questions, and left me updates each time. I was so happy to find her in my area. I definitely recommend her services to customers looking for someone that is responsible, trusting, and is knowledgable about dogs.”

About: Hi- I'm Rikki… Pearl is my shadow. I’ve delivered her eight puppies & given their shots. I pamper animals with holistic care that leaves them feeling squeaky clean and zen. Doggy CPR certified— when tails stop wagging, I’m the lifesaver ready to jump in with treats, belly rubs, and superpowers. I have extensive experience in senior dog care, ensuring that older pups receive the love, attention, and specialized care they need. Pearl's Palace is like a dog "spa" surrounded by a welcoming community of pet-loving neighbors. From the moment your pup arrives, they’re welcomed like family. Mornings often start with a friendly sniff-and-greet, followed by some outdoor play or a stroll around the neighborhood to stretch those legs. If the weather’s nice, supervised pool time keeps things exciting (and doubles as a workout). Midday brings rest in a shaded spot or inside the home, with fresh water always available. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy a mix of play, cuddle breaks, and light grooming—nail checks, brushing, or a spritz of my handmade lavender-infused conditioner for relaxation and bug protection. Afternoon activities may include fetch, enrichment games, or lounging by the pool while soaking up the sun. Evening winds down with a final potty break, gentle pets, and plenty of praise before pick-up or bedtime, so your dog heads home happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little spoiled. I have a tall privacy fence and a Great Dane to keep your pets company. Walks are regular and so is meeting new dog friends. Instructions for in-home care are followed as specified below.

“Emily was fantastic! We met prior to the assignment, so she could meet our cats, learn their habits, and where everything was stored. She was prompt in arriving to check on our cats, socialized with them, and followed our instructions on our cat that had dietary restrictions. She also took pictures at each visit! Well worth the extra money!”

Wendi M.

“Monique and her husband were professional and flexible with my schedule. It is clear they took very good care of Arti and she looked forward to their visits! Would book again for sure”

Lauren L.

“Brooklynn was amazing with my babies! Lots of play time and pictures. She was very communicative with me and gave them lots of loving. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had pets my whole life from the biggest of dogs to cutest of cats. I'm a very active mom, and fitness lover that could always use a furry partner. 🐕‍🦺🐈 I'm currently working mornings 7am-3pm, so anytime before 6 am or after 4pm drop off works best for me. I have a back yard as well as 1 lovely cat that usually doesnt mind other cats or dogs being around. My home is clean warm and inviting to all animals. Hooray! As a mom pet care fits into my schedule perfectly. My kids have a lot of fun with all animals that come to our home. I currently moved into a smaller place but my 6 year old son and a young wild & free 3 year old son, who can't get enough of the running he gets to do during my sits.

“Trinity is awesome. She took care of my babies while I was on vacation for a week. She was on time and made sure they were well taken care of. Duke and Mustard love her. We had a tragedy while I was gone and she stepped in without hesitation and helped out with my Duke. I was so thankful and grateful that I was able to find her on the River app. I will definitely book her through Rover from now on.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I have hands-on experience with puppy training, administering medication, and providing gentle care for senior pets. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like part of the family. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule means your pet will get regular walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding, including weekdays and weekends, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. I have a pet-free home with a calm and loving environment, perfect for animals who prefer being the only pet. My household includes two children who are gentle and respectful with animals. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I can follow your care instructions closely and ensure your pet feels safe and at ease.

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs my entire 28 years of life! As the youngest of 3, it was always up to me to walk, feed, and train the dogs. I currently have a 5 year old pit/pointer mix and a dachshund mix under a year old! We love going for walks at the river or visiting the dog park in Chester! My wife and I also have 2 cats, meaning our dogs are very active friendly! We love all animals, shape and sizes! We reside in Colonial Heights and have a relatively decent sized fenced in back yard! Our cats are spoiled and have a dedicated room where they can come and go as they please, no dogs allowed! We also have a spare room to accommodate any dogs that may need to be separate for any reasons. Safety is very important to me! In my car I have multiple doggy seatbelts and harnesses dedicated for riding. I look forward to showing your dog or cat to the Daisey Does It way! I truly care for anyone’s pets as my own. I currently work part time while attending part time classes at Brightpoint Community College. I’m home except for a few early mornings, so my availability is pretty open. I can walk dogs or do home visits throughout the day or night. I can also board a dog(s) on most nights throughout the week. I have a relatively large fenced in yard with lots of doggy toys! My wife and I have 2 dogs that love meeting new friends to play with! We also have two cats, they have always been around dogs. We treat all animals as our own. We believe animals are better than people, haha! Our pets are our children, they are allowed on the furniture, and sleep with us as well. We can crate your animal if needed and have a spare room if you’d like your animal separated for any reasons. Our dogs are trained for off leash hikes, but we do walk them around the neighborhood as well. I’d love to take your fur baby to the local river trails even to run off leash in my backyard!

About: Hi, my name is Arlyn. I am 27 years old and aspiring to be a Registered Nurse. I am born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and moved to Chester, Virginia back in 2011 but now living in Colonial Heights, VA. I am trying to get a little more income to help pay for school tuition, so why not try to make money taking care of furry animals. I'm a dog lover! I've owned 3 dogs previously and understand we want the best for them while we’re away. They are our fur babies after all right? I will make sure to give them lots of play time and walk time as well as sleep time. Making them feel at home and loved. Daily frequent walks are a must as well as play time. Even though you would be away, I wanna make sure they have a great time with me and help them feel less lonely. After all, mi casa es su casa (: Please remember to bring any dog bowls, food, leashes and any toys to make them feel at home and comfortable. In consideration, please bathe your furry one prior to house boarding or daycare. Thank you! Hope to see you soon! With current Covid regulations, I am permanently working from home so I am able to tend to your fur baby’s every need throughout the day. I have a 4 year old female pit bull & a 3 year old male bully that loves to play outside in our large fenced In back yard. They both have a crate that they can be in as well if your dog needs some separation. I can also crate your dog as well if needed.
