Feeling loved at home.... at ours!

Pet care experience

Hi all! My name is Billie Jo. We’re a relaxed and casual family living in Ashburn. I’ve had dogs my whole life so supporting and caring for them comes naturally to me and I enjoy their companionship. My son and I were selected to be puppy raisers for two medical alert service dogs that are working with people with disabilities today!

Wonderful from first message to pickup. She was pleasant, friendly, caring, and flexible. Our dog loved staying with her family. We'd be happy to have him stay there again. We have an older dog and this was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous about leaving him with someone unknown for a long weekend and unsure in general what to expect of the service and process. Billie Jo suggested and we had a meet-and-greet with her and our dog early on, before we confirmed our dog's stay. He took to her right away. She asked lots of questions about his preferences and routine as we walked around together. By the end of the meet-and-greet, we felt comfortable with the idea of having her watch him. We then messaged back and forth a bit before dropping our dog off a few weeks later. When we brought him and his supplies, she showed us around where he'd be and asked more questions about his routine so he'd feel at home. She sent us chatty, reassuring notes and cute photos of him throughout his stay with her family. When we picked him up, his things were by the door, ready to go. He was happy to see us but wanted to lead us to some things in her house (presumably his favorite hangout spots). When we paused out front with him to chat with her as we headed to the car, he tried to go back into her house a couple of times :) She has his vote for sure, and ours as well. Thank you so much, Billie Jo!

Billie Jo and her family made Boe feel right at home! They were all very welcoming and I could tell right away that Boe would get the same amount of love and care as he does at home! From setting up an introduction meeting to pick up, Billie Jo answered all of my questions and sent pictures everyday of boes stay! We felt very comfortable leaving Boe at her house, and would highly recommend Billie Jo and her family as your next rover host!!!!

Billie Jo watched out dog for the first time as our previous sitter moved and she was wonderful. She sent daily updates and pictures and even checked in after we picked him up to make sure he was ok. I am very thankful to have found Billie Jo and will definitely rebook for our next trip.

Ty thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Billie Jo and her family, and we appreciated all the pictures she sent while we were away!

Information Billie Jo B. would like to know about your pet

My preference is a trained well-rounded low key suburban dog. Contact me to discuss as I know there are conditions with all dogs. I have experience with managing assertive dogs. I've recently completed an online course from Udemy to learn dog CPR, first aid and safety. My ask is the dog comes groomed with proper licensure and is current with health vaccinations. Please feel free to bring along any creature comforts and even special requests.

Our home has been described as warm, well-appointed and inviting. We offer water bowls (in and outside), soft toys, and belly rubs. We understand that you love your dog like family and we’ll treat them the same way. We’re an ideal family for a well-behaved, mild mannered, house trained pup that wants a holiday of their own. I believe dogs prefer (and thrive with) order and structure. I won’t disrupt training by over-feeding or giving table food. Instead, I’ll gladly provide multiple walks, playtime stimulation, a fenced in backyard, attention, and most of all peace of mind to you while you’re away.
