“Henry and Cheryle were very quick to respond and even wanted to do a meet and greet before I dropped off my sweet old pup. They're super nice and sent many cute pictures of my girl while I was gone! Highly recommend them for taking care of any animal!”


“She has been so wonderful to be able to keep Jake last minute and keep him few extra days! She was very understanding of my situation I have going on. I appreciate it so much and am very Thankful for it! Your fur baby is good hands with her!”


“Emily was fantastic with Buster! She has a wonderful house and fenced yard and Buster loved laying in the sunshine! She gave him meds every day and even offered to take him to the vet if his back flared up! She sent me wonderful pictures every day! We could tell how happy he was and it made our vacation that much better! We will definitely use her again!!!”


About: I always grew up with my own animals and knew I wanted to to be a veterinarian one day. When I was in high school I started my own dog walking business to make some money and then heard a doggy daycare was opening up in town. I was the first to apply! I worked there for a while until I started at a local veterinarian at 16. Now I am going into my second year of vet school and wanted a way to fill some of my free time. Due to my busy class schedule I only have a cat right now, so I really enjoy spending extra time with dogs! My goal is to adopt a pit bull mix by the end of vet school because they have a special place in my heart! Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with animals in a variety of settings from general care to specialty medicine to emergency and my passion for them only continues to grow. I'm skilled in administering medications and injections, caring for both puppies and senior pets, assisting with more challenging or nervous animals, and understanding dog behavior and body language. During the summer I’m working two days a week at Virginia Tech's Veterinary Teaching Hospital so the rest of the time I can devote to pet sitting! Unfortunately, my schedule does change week to week. During the school year my schedule also varies as labs are different days/times every week, however, they are only two hours long so I am flexible for the rest of the day! I also keep my schedule up to date on Rover! I'm available most days. Just message me about times and I will get back to you as soon as possible! I currently live in an apartment. I have one cat and my roommate has a cat. They both do well with dogs and will mainly keep to themselves and stay in our rooms. We are trying to socialize them more to dogs to get them more comfortable for when we adopt one in the next year! In our apartment we have two floors so we can keep the animals together when we are home and then separate them with a baby gate when we go out. There is a large unfenced backyard behind my apartment that is a communal space and lots of walking trails around including the Huckleberry Trail!


“Crystal was very welcoming & took very good care of my 5 year old Shih Tzu Buster. She communicated with me throughout my trip & sent pictures of him to me. I was able to relax & enjoy my trip! I recommend her highly!”


“This is Rambo’s second home. He really loves it there and has so many friends. He goes on lots of walks and clearly loves them. I feel like I’m dropping him off at his grandparent’s house. LOL. Thanks again Linda and David. ❤️”


“Maverick loves when we pull up to Nancy’s house. It’s his home away from home! He has an instant dog friend and a warm & cozy house to play and relax in. I love getting pictures of him playing with DeDe and other dog friends. I’m so thankful Nancy is very accommodating with our crazy drop off and pick up times!”


“We felt very comfortable leaving our 10 lb Cavapoo with Kurt. We’ve used Rover a few times before, but this was our best experience. He sent us some pictures to show that she had settled in which was very nice. Will definitely use again.”



“The experience was fine. I select that I want updates and pictures and didn’t receive any. It seemed more like a boarding facility than pet sitting in a homey environment which is what our cats are used to. It was just a different experience than what we had experienced before and was a last minute alternative to our usual sitter. The only thing I was weary of was the extending service fee for extending an extra night , if I had just booked the two nights the fee wouldn’t have been applied. Definitely efficiently run and the dogs on property are a plus . Very professional.”


“Deena and her husband took great care of our dog Nutmeg. We received photos and updates everyday, which kept us at ease throughout our vacation. Nutmeg was a very happy dog when we picked her up. Deena and her husband are great people and would highly recommend them to care for your animals.”


“I contacted Marah very last minute to watch my dogs for me for the weekend and she responded almost instantly. When i took my dogs over for a quick meet and greet they immediately made friends with the other dogs there and Marah treated them like they were her own. I received picture and text updates about how they were doing daily. They got to play with other dogs at her house and at the dog park over the weekend which I'm sure they loved. When i picked then up on Sunday they were both thoroughly exhausted. I will definitely be bringing them back”


“Rebecca was a wonderful person love her personality and she took very good care of my dog stitch and he loved it at her place for my first time ever doing this and I highly suggested use her she is very good.”


“I was so happy to bring the pups to someone who I can trust and they will be in a great environment. Holly was great to let me bring them for a meet and greet to be more familiar with everything/everyone there. Holly accommodated my early leave and later evening weekend pickup.”


“Nancye is absolutely amazing! She loved and spoiled our Josey as if he was her own. I loved that we had the opportunity to have a meet and greet before we took our trip. She took him on walks. He loves car rides and she took him to get ice cream with her getting him a pup cup. It was our 1st time leaving him with someone new and she sent us pictures and updated all along the way. Nancye has such a love for fur babies and it shows. Would definitely recommend her.”
