Jay B. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

It's a "Doggy Dog" World!

Pet care experience

Closed Memorial Day Holiday 5/22/24-5/29/24. Closed for Scheduled Deep Cleaning 4/19/24-4/21/24 and 9/20/24-9/22/24. Convenient to RIC Airport and major highways!! I raised both Chow Chows and Papillons and am currently without a pet. I sit CRATE-TRAINED toy, small and medium sized dogs and the crate requirement is a NON-NEGOTIABLE. (Please do not request a Meet and Greet if you are not comfortable having your dog crated when I am off premises). Your fur babies will enjoy a private fenced landscaped back yard for off leash exercise and walks on leash throughout a tree-lined neighborhood. Any diet you have for your pet I will follow religiously, I give all pets filtered ice and water throughout their stay and there is no need to bring dog bowls, your pet will dine on Le Creuset Pet Bowls! I also have treats if you run out or do not mind little extras for your pet. I live near RIC airport and major highways including I-64, I-295, I-895 and I am minutes away from the Capital Bike Trail (on Route 5). I am happy to accommodate early morning drop-offs for early flights and late night pick-ups from red eye flights! Long-term and short-term visits are available. Due to high demand (thanks y'all), I book UP TO FOUR stays at one time with up to SIX dogs if there are same household pairs or previous customers present. I will try to inform you if I have multiple bookings during the stay, however, I do not guarantee that your dog(s) will be the only dog here during their stay as I receive booking requests on a regular basis. I put protocols in place for safe socialization, feedings, walking on leash and sleeping arrangements. Again, CRATED dogs are required. I have a three-pronged reflective leash to safely walk them individually and as a group. Demand for pet sitting has increased significantly and with peak times including major holidays and spring break I ask that you please book early. I have breed restrictions in my area so please no Pit Bulls, Cane Corso, Rottweilers, my beloved Chows or other dogs with high attack histories. Dogs should not be destructive or aggressive (furniture chewing, wall damage, destroying crates, jumping on doors and windows, etc...). I regularly update my calendar for the year. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your dogs! FMOIG @jayroverrva

Simply fantastic! Jay makes things so easy and less worrisome when we have to leave our beloved furry kids behind. She sends pictures throughout the day and makes sure my 2 dogs maintain their feeding schedule and daily walks as they are used at home. This is now their vacation home. I’m so glad I found you, Jay, thanks!

Always amazing. Kennedy loves her to death and she treats him like he’s hers. Never no less than 10 stars for Jay. She’s the only one I trust with my baby boy!

Information Jay B. would like to know about your pet

I like to know and replicate your routine to ease transitions. Please bring ample food and a blanket or t-shirt along with the crate. I have backup crates if necessary. I prefer toy, small and medium sized dogs up to 50 lbs. Breed restrictions prevent me from sitting Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Cane Corso, Chow Chows and other breeds with a high attack history.

A typical day

I believe in door-to-car service. I will meet you in the driveway and pick up your dog and their belongings and will deliver them to you for pick-up the same way. Many of my customers are leaving for or returning from travel and I want them to get their fur babies back as quickly as possible. Please send a text when you are en route and at least 10 minutes away and your dog will be walked, packed and waiting for you to arrive! We can do lots of walks, Playtime and we sometimes run short errands together!!!
