“My very first time using Rover. And this was my very first time leaving Zora, ever! Before even dropping her off, Brittany communicated so well with me and assisted me comfortably. Experienced and attentive. I must say, I am very pleased! I could see that Zora had, had a great weekend with you and trusted you. From the pictures, I cannot thank you enough. I will definitely be using your service again. 😊 a new pink twin connection! Thank you Brittany! You are a blessing”


“Thank you Paul and Terri! Super sweet family and you made Bailey feel right at home. If I am in the area again I will be sure to contact you again. Thank you 😊”



“Another FANTASTIC experience with Jeff and Barbara. Really enjoyed the pictures they sent me from Copper because I miss him so much while we are gone. They are very accommodating on start and pick up times and Copper loves getting to play with Ruby and Phineas, this visit he even made a new friend Bella. So glad we found Jeff! Happy repeat customers!”

About: Creator and owner of dauchshund to the Rescue.I've always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl.I'm currently going to school for veterinary medicine. My life revolves around taking care of animals while running the rescue so I am always home to take care of all of their needs. Each dog and cat is different, so it's on a case-by-case basis, I always like to observe their behavior and take care of them based on what they seem comfortable with.

“Her and her family were so amazing and did a wonderful job of watchin our puppy! She kept us posted on his status and sent us pictures! We felt very comfortable and at ease knowing that our puppy 🐶 was in great hands! Highly recommend!”

Nicole was amazing with our furbaby. My dog has a lot of anxiety and she warmed right up to Nicole and her family she was so comfortable with them. I will definitely be using her again when we visit our daughter at school. Nicole sent us multiple pictures of her each day and I can see how happy she was it was such a relief for us and we were able to enjoy our trip in beautiful Yorktown VA.
