About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and a variety of pets ever since I was a child. I have taken care of pets in a variety of ages, such as senior dogs as well as puppies and kittens. I have a very flexible schedule and am available most of the day, though, when classes start I may not be able to do as much in the mornings. I have taken care of dogs that don’t have a backyard and have to be taken on walks, as well as taken care of dogs in homes with a backyard.

“Brianna and Jersey will always be my go-to when I need a pet sitter for my dog and cat. They’re always so well taken care of that I don’t ever have to worry while we’re gone!”

Holly K.

About: == FULL TIME DOGGIE DAYCARE AND BOARDING! == Thank you for stopping by! Please read on to learn more about how we got started in the pet care business. == ABOUT US == We are a military family full of dog lovers (who isn't) and have been since we were children. This journey started after volunteering for a few months at a local humane society and wanting to spend more of our time with dogs. Since starting our Rover journey, we have been trusted with the privilege of caring for many of our friends' and family's dogs. With us, you can be sure that your dog will be in the hands of someone who enjoys dogs and their loving nature! == MEET AND GREETS == We personally do not require meet and greets but are more than willing to accomodate your request to have one, as we understand and value a mutually harmonious fit between all parties. Meet and greets will take place in the front yard and be limited to 10-15 minutes. Also, please know that we do not give tours due to liability reasons, however there are pictures on our profile to reference if needed. Our home is spacious, safe, secure and clean! PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Daycare rates cover up to 12 hours ( pricing can be adjusted for half days etc) Boarding rates covers 24 hours *If a daycare stay exceeds 12 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. **If a boarding stay exceeds 24 hours by more than 2 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. ***A convenience fee of $10 will be applied to any drop off or pick up prior to 7am. Please note that any photos and updates will be sent between the hours of 9am -9pm. If you have any further questions that were not answered here, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for reading and we hope to meet you and your best friend! == SCHEDULE == Our family is are full time dog sitters (spouse, mother in-law) and Eric still works his full time job in the military typically 8am-2pm. We are committed to have a dog loving and caring life while balancing our "weekends". We are typically able to accommodate changes in your schedule/needs to adjust pick up and drop off times. Please let us know as soon as possible about any adjustments needed. == DURING YOUR PUPS STAY == Upon a dog's first arrival, we strictly monitor their interactions with any other dog to be aware of any dynamics we need to be concerned about. We do not hesitate to separate dogs into different play areas if anything seems off. Our property is fully fenced on all sides, and we have gates to keep even the best escape artist pups safe. Dogs have full access to our entire downstairs which open up to a well-maintained fenced in yard. == FEEDING == During feeding time, your dog will fed in their crate or a play pen area to prevent food aggression and upset stomachs caused by consuming foreign dog food of other pups. == SLEEPING == Crate-trained dogs will sleep in crates (please specify if your dog is used to a certain size, as we have a wide variety of sizes available. Dogs who are not crate trained will sleep in a pen. Special accommodations can be made for dogs who are not able to do either of those. == WALKS == While it is our goal to make sure each dog get proper exercise and socialization, we do not provide walks during boarding due to liability and risk factors involved with walks (dogs escaping from harness, eating something off the side walk, coming into contact with an unfriendly dog, etc). We do, however give them plenty of outdoor time with the other dogs or solo to socialize and play, which we find is ample exercise for the pups that stay with us. REQUESTED INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PET Prior to dropping off, please fill out your dog's bio as much as possible. == THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DOG == -Is your pup sick and/or contagious? -Quirks or habits that would be helpful to know (humping, chewing on paws, separation anxiety, excessive barking, etc). -Current or past illnesses, injuries, or traumatic history/triggers. -If they are taking any medication or require any special care instructions. -Is your pup up to date on vaccinations and flea & tick medication. We understand vaccines are not bulletproof and that some illnesses may have an extended incubation period but we highly recommend the vaccines to create the safest experience. *Please know that we are unable to care for sick/contagious dogs. If your pup shows any signs of disease or illness, please let us know beforehand so we can make sure you receive a proper refund. If we discover that your pup is exhibiting obvious symptoms of disease with the first 12 hours with us, your dog will need to be picked up and no refund will be issued. I work 2-3 days a week. Spouse is a stay at home mother. One of us is always at home and available to give your fur baby all of the attention that they need! Trustworthy military member (20 yrs of active-duty service). We can provide care in our home or come to you. I also work as a full-time volunteer for Chesapeake Humane Society helping with dog care team and enrichment.

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for the past 8 years, and I’m also a cat owner myself. I really enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time but have gaps in my day where I can check on your fur babies and make sure they are thriving in their home. I can pick up on behavior quickly and would love to take care of them in an environment they know and already love. I would love to meet them ahead of time to establish trust.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was seven, I started just recently getting into staying over at peoples houses and dog sitting like that. My brother has a German Shepherd and a pitbull. I have a Dalmatian! Love to go on walks and letting dogs run around (in a fenced area) for fun! i am currently going back to school so i will have breaks within the day to go on a dog walk. I don’t work at night so i can also have sleepovers as well! I like to take pets out for a car rides beach walks, and regular walks when it’s not too hot for their paws. If the house has a pool, the dog is always supervised. while, swimming in it.

“Angie is absolutely amazing. Took a last second booking and was able to stay at the house and watch the dogs. The dogs loved her, the house was taken well care of during her visit. Would recommend 10/10. If we leave town, we will be rebooking.”

About: A lot of experience with animals with cats and dogs. Worked for a vet clinic and volunteer at the zoo. Also have experience with senior cats/dogs. I’m a full-time student and work at the zoo part-time, taking care of animals is very flexible and easy with my schedule as I have a lot of free-time. (DISCOUNTS FROM MAY-AUGUST 2025) I offer boarding services in a clean, pet-friendly environment shared with my cat, Charlie. He’s a calm, easygoing boy who’s about 9–10 months old and loves to lounge, snack, and mind his business. He gets along well with other cats and has a very relaxed temperament, so I’m confident he’ll do great around dogs, too—even though he hasn’t interacted with them directly yet. A typical day includes feeding, playtime, enrichment, and lots of cozy lounging spaces. I care for each pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I have a two-bedroom setup: one room is mine, and the other is dedicated entirely to animals. Charlie stays in my room, and if your pet is staying overnight, they’ll have their own cozy space in the dedicated animal room. I always make sure they have fresh water, comfort, and attention throughout their stay. Crate-trained or not, your furry companion will be well looked after and treated like family.

“Lisa was awesome! She cared for our dog in our home for 12 days. She was great with our dog, who can be anxious around strangers, and was very communicative and responsive-letting us know how she was doing, sending pictures and updates regularly. We returned home to a happy and well-cared for pup. I highly recommend Lisa for your pet-sitting needs. Will definitely reach out to her again when we need a sitter.”

“If you want the best care possible for your pet(s), book with Alex! Being new to the area with the military, I’ve been through a couple Rovers, I have finally found my go to! Leaving Saint and my home in Alex’s hands was by far the most comfortable experience. He has this genuinely kind, laid back attitude, and Saint took to him right away. Saint has high anxiety and he barely lifted his head when I left. Alex’s communication is next level and I had zero worry while I was out of town. I got good morning and good night pictures, too! Alex took the time to keep my home spotless, water my plants, bring Saint for a car ride, and even left a handwritten card and gift for Saint 🥹 Grateful doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about the care he gave my pup and my home. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I have lived on a farm and taken care of multiple farm animals as well as watched peoples dogs of different sizes.

About: My name is Haley, I am 25 years old. I am a stay at home mom and fur mom. I am currently going to school online to become a Veterinary Technician, and I hope to become a certified service dog trainer one day soon. I have had dogs my entire life, they are my passion. I have three pups of my own, one being a rescue that I believe rescued me. I would love to use my spare time doing what I love and taking care of some more dogs. I have taken care of every size dog, from a 5 pound Yorkie to a 150 pound Rottweiler. Leave your dogs in the hands of someone you can trust and someone who is going to give them the love and respect the deserve.
