About: Hi my name is Evie! I have a lot of experience working with animals. I have worked with animals in a shelter as well as in a daycare and boarding environment. I am experienced in giving medication. I am also comfortable caring for animals who may have behavior challenges. My priority is making sure your pet is well take care of and receives enrichment! Im currently a college student so I am available part time! I have the most availability in the early morning and late afternoon. My availability is very flexible As someone who has animals at home and works in a professional caretaking job, I am able to handle many different environments and situations. I typically take a calm approach to taking care of animals. I always make sure the pet is comfortable with me. I am also very attentive and observant towards the pets behavior.
About: Hi! I’m Taylor — a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities. I had my own dog for almost 16 wonderful years, and she was truly a beloved part of my life. After she passed, I began fostering because I couldn’t imagine life without dogs. I’ve now fostered several dogs, each with their own needs, quirks, and snuggle preferences. I’m patient, attentive, and love helping dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether that means giving extra cuddles, creating calm routines, or simply being a reassuring presence. I’m also a very active person, so if your dog enjoys long walks or even going for runs, I’m happy to match their energy. High-energy pups are always welcome! My goal is to make your dog feel at home and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry family member and care for them like my own. I work 100% remote so spend the majority of my day at home and would be with your furry friend. I am able to easily bake in walks and playtime during my workday to ensure they get the attention and exercise they need! We have a nice porch and a fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy time outside without worry. We also have a crate here for up to 70 lbs dog and can safely crate your pet to ensure they are comfortable and safe if left alone.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, and even farm animals—and I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to seniors who need medication and gentle care. I fostered through the Richmond SPCA in college, which taught me patience, how to read different personalities, and how to help shy or nervous pets feel safe. I’ve also worked with professional trainers while raising my own dog, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic commands, routines, and positive behavior. I’m active and love taking dogs on long walks and play sessions, but I also know how to slow things down for older pets or those who prefer a calm routine. What sets me apart is that I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new, and I focus on giving both you and your pet comfort while you’re apart—lots of love, clear communication, and updates that help you feel connected every step of the way. I live at home and work remotely, so I’m able to be with your pet throughout the day. This gives me the flexibility to stick to their routine, whether that means regular potty breaks, long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company so they never feel alone. Your pet won’t be waiting hours for attention, I’m around to give them consistent care and comfort. I live in a three bedroom home with plenty of space and a secure 6-ft fenced yard, with Ring cameras surrounding the property for added safety and peace of mind. My own dog is crate trained, friendly, and well-socialized—he loves to play but is gentle and respectful enough to give visiting dogs space when they need it. I can keep pets separate if preferred, and I have two bedrooms set up as little “pet hotels” so each dog has their own quiet, comfortable space to relax, sleep, or eat without stress. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your routines closely, communicate often, and make sure every animal feels safe, understood, and treated like family.
“Matt is responsive and punctual. He goes above and beyond and has updated his house and yard to be the best pup party zone ever! My dog and I are glad we found him.”

“Joyce is great! She takes care of my dog Banana on a daily basis while I’m at work & is constantly working with my crazy sales schedule. Joyce takes great care of Banana, making sure she’s fed twice a day, has pleeenty of potty breaks & all the love & affection she could ask for! She even sends me daily pictures of my old pup throughout the day, which always cheers me up! 10/10, would recommend 😊”

“Danielle and Matt were amazing - so responsive and helpful with our dog despite the last minute ask. They kept us updated about how he was doing throughout the day as well which is always appreciated!”

Hi there, I’m Raven, and I’m glad you’re here. At Doggy Adventures, my mission is to create safe, joyful, and unforgettable adventures for dogs while giving owners peace of mind. Every pup in my care gets personal attention, plenty of love, and an environment where tails never stop wagging. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. With Doggy Adventures, I spend most of my day making sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. That being said, I usually have a lot of dogs in my care, and because of that and limited staff, I’m unable to accept dogs with severe anxiety or puppies who may need more one-on-one attention. However, feel free to reach out, and we can chat to see if it's a good fit! When caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm and safe environment where they feel comfortable and well taken care of. I follow any specific routines or requests you have to keep things consistent for your pet, from feeding and bathroom schedules to playtime and cuddle sessions.
“Michaela's great! I contacted her the night before I needed a sitter for my 5 month old puppy, and she got back to me very quickly that she was available. She worked with my schedule and was a huge help in a pinch. I checked in with her a couple times during my pup's stay and she replied with updates and pictures. Thanks, Michaela!”

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”

About: My daughters complain that their fur babies are spoiled when I return them. (And, they keep asking me to take care of them despite this. ) I prefer it over the Day job, And find the company of pets so rewarding. If I could make pet care a full time job, I would. I welcome them in like guests. But, of course follow instructions given pertaining to their care. I have a soft crate and raised dog beds with covers that can be washed each visit.
“Jasmine was great with our little puppy Bear! We had something come up last minute and she was available to take care of him at her house. Jasmine sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and Bear came home a happy sleepy pup! Will definitely be using Jasmine’s services again in the future!”


“Alexandra was awesome!! She took great care of Kolbie, and sent great updates and reviews. My baby was so happy when I came to pick him up, and was able to have fun with other pups. We will for sure have Kolbie hang out with Alexandra again!”

About: With 8 years of dog training experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Whether it’s teaching energetic puppies good manners or providing gentle, attentive care for seniors, I adapt to each dog’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. Since I work from home, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day while balancing my job, making sure their needs are always met. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or special instructions—so pets feel secure and cared for just like they would with their owner
Fairmount dog parents share their Rover experiences
Matt is fantastic. My dog Ru loves going to his house so much that she sprints to his front door and will not look back for me at all. She has a great time with him and when I pick her up she is happy and tired in the best way. He clearly has a great understanding of dogs and is very professional and communicative. I feel completely confident leaving my girl there and I know she has the absolute best care.

I had concerns about low fencing which wasn’t a problem. Stacey was able to get a long tie out cable where Mase was able to roam and explore her large yard. She was responsive and sent updates and pictures! Stacey will definitely be seeing Mase again in the near future!

Elizabeth is amazing! Bear has significant separation anxiety and it was clear from the minute he met Elizabeth he was going to be fine. She sent me pictures and videos of him and he was calm and at ease at her home. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Elizabeth!

Lydie was absolutely amazing. Lydie's warm, engaging personality and her deep knowledge of dogs made for a wonderful stay. Betty's pictures told the story, she enjoyed her time completely. Everything went perfectly and Lydie accommodated our schedule. Thank you again.
