“Casey is the best!! My apartment kept having power outages and losing air conditioning during a heatwave, but Casey was able to switch the fuse back on and double the amount of visits on short notice to make sure my cat wasn't stuck in a hot apartment! She was very caring with my cat and has a new friend for life - make that two new friends!”

About: Free Trial SleepOver at Lilibet's Place! Let’s first make sure our pups are compatible before booking a Pawsome Adventure! Request a Practice SleepOver at Lilibet’s Place for a convenient day; I’ll modify the current rate through the Rover app to be No Charge! Then book at least Seven Sleeps and know that your pup is in Good Hands and Good Paws! My pup Lilibet, named after Queen Elizabeth, is a six year old rescued Beagle Mix coming in at under 25 pounds and we are excited for our new adventure on Rover. Lilibet is not my first pup; I have over thirty years caring for dogs. SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place is designed for pet owners vacationing without their pups. I know how difficult it can be to find appropriate pup care while planning your own getaway. Please allow SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place to be your pups getaway with a buddy to play with during the day and two adults to love all over in the evening and weekends. We are minutes away from the Gypsy Hill Dog Park in Staunton, VA and a short Road Trip to Coyner Springs Park in Lyndhurst, VA with a Leash-Free Dog Park. There is a huge difference between a Medium Dog and a Large Dog! I am happy to entertain hosting your Large Pup if the connection is right. Lilibet enjoys playing with dogs over 40 pounds like an English Shepherd but a Doberman Pinscher coming in at 90 pounds might be a bit much for our setup. In determining if we are a good fit for your pups vacation, please keep in mind that: • I do not have any children in my home • We work outside the home and can monitor our pups using our Lilibet Cam • I am comfortable administering oral or subcutaneous injections • Lilibet is a client of Staunton Vet Clinic in town and we are ten minutes away from the Veterinary Emergency Services in Verona, VA SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place is intended to be a minimum of one week that begins on a Friday in order for our pups to become comfortable with each other. A prior Meet & Greet is required before confirming a reservation. This can be done in person near, but not in, the Gypsy Hill Dog Park; a Virtual Visit can initiate the Meet & Greet but we'll want to meet you and your pup in person. Your dog must be house broken as I work outside the home during the day. During the Thanksgiving and Winter holidays, I will make an exception to my “only one sitting assignment” policy to accommodate more Pet Parents if necessary! Outside of the holiday season, I will only take in one sitting assignment at a time. Lilibet has the run of the house while we are at work; she and your fur buddy are welcomed to lounge on the sofas, beds, or dog bed we provide. If your pup has their own home comforts they are welcome to pack an overnight bag for their stay to include favorite toys, treats, beds, and smells from home. During your pups vacation with SleepOvers at Lilibet's Place, you can select from one of Five Excursions during their stay to include: • A trip to Wright's Dairy-Rite, a local landmark for an adventure with a Pup Cup at their historic Curb Service. • An adventure to run free on the farm with other pups and cats while meeting the horses. • Gypsy Hill Dog Park is right around the corner in Staunton; your pup and Lilibet can meet neighborhood friends while under the watchful eye of their chaperone. • Does you fur baby enjoy the local watering hole? Lilibet and I have access to local rivers to enjoy a splash around. • We are also happy to customize an adventure to meet your pup's needs.
12. Lisa L.
“Lisa thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur babies. I don't trust just anyone to take care of them. They seemed very comfortable with you and that means so much to me. I will definitely recommend and use your services again in the future.”
13. Nicole A.
“Nicole is great! She was extremely patient with my mini Aussie who needs time to warm up to new people. Nicole was easy to work with and listened to my dog’s needs to set them both up for a successful weekend while I was away. She took her time to ensure my dog was taken care of and comfortable and wasn’t phased by my dog’s initial wariness of new people. She clearly has tons of experience with dogs of all kinds. I will definitely be checking Nicole’s availability next time I need someone to check in on my dog.”
14. Franki K.
“Franki is a terrific sitter. She tuned right into Roxie's personality and made our sweet old girl comfortable and happy. Highly recommended!”
15. Abygail M.
“Abygail has been a wonderful cat sitter for my two outdoor cats. She is always communicative and available and I truly appreciate having a trusted caretaker when I'm away.”

About: Does taking care of a goldfish named Dorothy (named after Elmo’s goldfish of course) at age 4 count? I have always had pets and I love all animals, at the moment I have my bearded dragon, my fish, and my senior cat I work second shift, perfect for those who work 9-5 who need someone to needs there dogs and cats cared for in the morning time. My cat is the queen of my house. Since she was up until recently indoor/outdoor (we moved), my main focus is to keep her senior brain enriched and stimulated. You’d never think she was 15 years old with how she darts around. My bearded dragon is in a palace of an enclosure, she enjoys looking out her window where she must think she is the guard dog. She eats out of my hand and loves trying new food.
17. Lauren Faye W.
“Lauren Faye was great with our cat. Sent lots of pictures where our cat was obviously getting plenty of cuddles.”
18. Cameron B.
“Cameron was very reliable and did a great job of updating me every day.”
19. Stacey K.
“Stacey was great! I had her drop in twice a day to check on my pups. She kept me updated and sent several pictures and videos of them. She was very accommodating when we had to extend our trip because of the weather. We will definitely be using her services in the future.”

About: Dogs is what I knew growing up I have a natural love for them. I’m in it for the experience I also volunteer on Saturdays as a dog walker for a shelter. Weekends and weekday afternoons work best for me. I work a full time during the week and volunteer Saturday mornings. I want to enjoy the work I do which is why I wanna do this. I aim to approach and handle all animals in a calm and relaxed mindset. Trying to deliver on their needs and and follow the owners instructions. Always being aware of what’s going on around me and attention to detail.
