SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place is intended to be a minimum of one week that begins on a Friday in order for our pups to become comfortable with each other. A prior Meet & Greet is required before confirming a reservation. This can be done in person near, but not in, the Gypsy Hill Dog Park; a Virtual Visit can initiate the Meet & Greet but we'll want to meet you and your pup in person. Your dog must be house broken as I work outside the home during the day. During holiday breaks I will make an exception to my “only one sitting assignment” policy to accommodate more Pet Parents if necessary! Outside of the holiday season, I will only take in one sitting assignment at a time.

Safety, trust & environment
Lilibet has the run of the house while we are at work; she and your fur buddy are welcomed to lounge on the sofas, beds, or dog bed we provide. If your pup has their own home comforts they are welcome to pack an overnight bag for their stay to include favorite toys, treats, beds, and smells from home. During your pups vacation with SleepOvers at Lilibet's Place, you can select from one of Five Excursions during their stay to include: • A trip to Wright's Dairy-Rite, a local landmark for an adventure with a Pup Cup at their historic Curb Service. • An adventure to run free on the farm with other pups and cats while meeting the horses. • Gypsy Hill Dog Park is right around the corner in Staunton; your pup and Lilibet can meet neighborhood friends while under the watchful eye of their chaperone. • Does you fur baby enjoy the local watering hole? Lilibet and I have access to local rivers to enjoy a splash around. • We are also happy to customize an adventure to meet your pup's needs.

Information Joe M. would like to know about your pet
We live in a typical Staunton home just west of Gypsy Hill Park. I would want to know how your pup plays with other dogs and kids (although we do not have kids). If there are any special needs your dog has that would be expected please share them when requesting a stay. I would like to know what commands/words your dog understands in order to communicate effectively and reinforce your training.
A typical day
Our typical day at SleepOvers at Lilibet's Place include a morning potty break, playing with toys and Outward Hound puzzles by Nina Ottosson all day with evening snuggles and potty breaks as necessary, especially before bedtime.

Pet care experience
Free Trial SleepOver at Lilibet's Place! Let’s first make sure our pups are compatible before booking a Pawsome Adventure! Request a Practice SleepOver at Lilibet’s Place for a convenient day; I’ll modify the current rate through the Rover app to be No Charge! Then book at least Seven Sleeps and know that your pup is in Good Hands and Good Paws! My pup Lilibet, named after Queen Elizabeth, is a six year old rescued Beagle Mix coming in at under 25 pounds and we are excited for our new adventure on Rover. Lilibet is not my first pup; I have over thirty years caring for dogs. SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place is designed for pet owners vacationing without their pups. I know how difficult it can be to find appropriate pup care while planning your own getaway. Please allow SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place to be your pups getaway with a buddy to play with during the day and two adults to love all over in the evening and weekends. We are minutes away from the Gypsy Hill Dog Park in Staunton, VA and a short Road Trip to Coyner Springs Park in Lyndhurst, VA with a Leash-Free Dog Park. There is a huge difference between a Medium Dog and a Large Dog! I am happy to entertain hosting your Large Pup if the connection is right. Lilibet enjoys playing with dogs over 40 pounds like an English Shepherd but a Doberman Pinscher coming in at 90 pounds might be a bit much for our setup. In determining if we are a good fit for your pups vacation, please keep in mind that: • I do not have any children in my home • We work outside the home and can monitor our pups using our Lilibet Cam • I am comfortable administering oral or subcutaneous injections • Lilibet is a client of Staunton Vet Clinic in town and we are ten minutes away from the Veterinary Emergency Services in Verona, VA
Reviews

This will be the 4tj time that Elsa has stayed with Joe. He is just fantastic! His sweet LilBit enjoys playing with Elsa as much as Elsa loves her. They are so good together. Joe is mindful of every detail- (when she pooped last, communicating how she is eating, etc. He is my Go-to!

Joe is hands down the best!

Joe was great. He kept me posted with photos and he provided updates regularly about my dog.

Joe is amazing! This was Elsa’s third stay with him, and she spent two full weeks there. I felt completely at ease the entire time. I loved receiving the videos he sent—especially seeing Elsa happily playing with his sweet little dog, Lilbit It was clear Elsa got plenty of stimulation, attention, and care. She always comes home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Joe and will absolutely continue booking with him!
