“Wonderful people, with a great setup for the dogs! Our dog had a blast and came home super happy. Christopher and Gina are great with communication too. We will definitely try to plan with them again in the future.”

“Our dogs were so happy and TIRED when they came home! I think they really lived spending time with Verlee and her family! They had lots of space to run and play and met so many new friends!! We will gladly drive the extra miles to have them stay again!”

“My big boy had the pleasure of staying with Furry Friends Academy over the weekend as I had to travel out of town for family business! Let me say I was very hesitant about using Rover but was in a bind so I did and I’m so glad I did! My big boy had the best time of his life! He got to socialize with other people, dogs and became really good friends with another GSD! I got so many updated pictures it was as if he was with me! Then I literally just got these picture they took of him! I must say I am beyond impressed with the level of care and love he got! If you are in need of a pet sitter I can recommend them! #germanshepherdpuppy”

“Layna D and her family did a wonderful job in caring for my dogs well being and kept me updated everyday with texts and pictures. Completely trustworthy and responsible and I highly recommend her for sitting services. If she’s available the next time I go out of town I will definitely rebook.”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I love to stay active so you can be sure your pup will get his/her exercise in. I've also helped care for elderly dogs. I have a flexible work schedule which allows for very open availability during the week/weekends. The only preferred start time would be 9am Monday through Friday. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. Going on walks, playing catch, minor grooming are just a few things that I can provide.

“Holly, you have provided the best and most loving care for my dog, Max. Thank you so much for watching him again, along with Kira, my daughter’s 8 month old pomsky, while we traveled out of town. You offer such a loving home! I feel lucky to have found you!”

“Samantha kept our pup for one night. She was very responsive to texts as well as very flexible with her time for pick-up and drop-off. I felt comfortable that she would take good care of our dog and knew she would be quick to contact me if there were any problems (there was none!). We would definitely use her services again. Thanks again, Samantha!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. My parent’s friends typically just had me stop by 3-4 times per day! I work from 8:30-5pm. However, my breaks are flexible and my bosses are willing to work with me so that I can do what I need to do! I am unfortunately not allowed to host dogs in my home. My apartment complex is very strict about this and will fine me if I host dogs overnight.

About: I'm a second generation dog sitter who started young; at the age of 6, I was going with my mom to her many pet sitting gigs. Now, I'm an independent pet sitter who has a ton of free time to hang out with your furbabies! My professional sitting experience includes the past 7 years of dedicated service to clients in Chesterfield, as well as the surrounding area. (References available! :) ) I'm willing to travel up to 60-75 miles from my home here in Powhatan, and I'm comfortable with any breed and size of dog, as well as cats, reptiles, and farm animals. I have experience administering medication, as well as handling special needs dogs. I'm usually available on short term notice, and can do late night and weekend visits. I SPECIALIZE IN FARM SITTING! :) DAYCARE/BOARDING GUESTS: just a heads up, we do have livestock on the property, as well as working dogs.:) Hope to hear from you soon! I work from home, so pet care fits into my routine really well. I’m not in meetings or anything all day, so my routine revolves around your pet’s schedule. :) I treat my clients’ homes with respect and care, just as I do my own home. I’ll clean up any messes your pet might make, as well as keep the home the way it was or better while you’re away.

We have 3 outdoor dogs in a kennel and 1 indoor cavapoo. I can crate your dog if needed. I am willing to keep your pet indoors. I will treat your pet like one of our own.

“Debbie is amazing! She took such great care of our puppy! Debbie was very communicative leading up to, during, and after our dog's stay with her. She event lots of pictures and updates to keep us in the loop. Our dog is a little shy at first when meeting new dogs and Debbie was super understanding and helped her feel comfortable. After the warm welcome, our dog settled in and had a blast with Debbie's dogs. I highly recommend Debbie!”

“Sarah was amazing to work with. I was nervous leaving my pup with a stranger but she was friendly from the beginning and was flexible on time. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the day. I felt comfortable leaving our doggo with her and would come again. Thank you Sarah!”
