Highlights
Pet care experience
home full-time for your pet's needs
After getting married, my husband and I both knew that we wanted dogs to be apart of our family. We both grew up with dogs, and cherished the lasting memories that our family pets left with us even though we were no longer at home. During the early years of our marriage we fostered several dogs from a variety of breeds, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We took a break from fostering, moved a handful of times, had a few kids, and over the past couple of years began opening our home to our friends’ pets when they needed a place to go. We have a spacious yard for your pet to explore and I am home full time. Our neighborhood is great for taking walks and our home is ideally situated near several parks and Colonial Williamsburg. We had been long-term sitting a dog from November 2018 - October 2020 for a family that was stationed overseas, so our kids are used to having animals in the house. We also have experience giving her medications. We know that every animal is unique and has different routines, habits, and preferences, and we want your pet to feel right at home while under our care. Please don’t hesitate to let us know how we can make the time with our family a great experience for your pet! Note on dog boarding: if dog is not picked up at or around the same time of day as it is dropped off, a partial-day fee may be added on to the stay. E.g., if a dog is dropped off in the morning and picked up the next evening, a half-day fee will be added. We both work from home full time, so your dog will be like part of the family for the duration of their stay with us. Our backyard is naturally enclosed though not fenced. We take your dog outside on the leash at regular intervals for breaks and walks. We have young children who enjoy playing with dogs that board with us, but they are also used to older or lower energy dogs who prefer to be left alone. We have a long tether set up in our backyard so your dog can be outside with us if we are hanging out there, if you approve us using that. Owners should bring their dog’s crate if it is crate trained or sleeps in a crate.

Ratings and reviews
Lyra & Scott were so very easy to work with, and our pup had a wonderful time with them. We recently moved to the area and have lucked out finding such a kind and caring family, that obviously loves taking care of doggies. Would definitely use them again.
Wonderful experience leaving our dog with this lovely family. Received regular updates and felt very comfortable with the care they provided. Can recommend them without hesitation, and will be requesting a ‘rebook’ during our next trip out of town.
Wonderful Experience with Lyra and Scott We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with lyra Scott and there children They took care of Olive for two weeks while we were away, and from the very beginning we felt completely comfortable leaving her with them. They kept us updated throughout our trip, sent us pictures, and made sure we always knew how Olive was doing. It gave us such peace of mind, especially because we had never left Olive for that long before. Their children were also absolutely wonderful with her and made her feel right at home. Knowing Olive was happy, loved, and well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying. We are so grateful for the care and kindness they showed her. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet. ❤️🐾
Scott and Lyra were very accommodating for a a last minute reservation. You can tell they love watching doggies and Benji came home happy and tired.
Second time booking with Scott and it was another painless experience. Thanks again!
Scott and Lyra were absolutely wonderful pet sitters! They were so warm and welcoming to both me and my puppy from the moment we arrived. I was incredibly grateful that they were able to watch him overnight while I was out of town, and they made me feel completely at ease leaving him in their care. Their daughter was especially sweet—she was hugging my puppy when I left, which made it clear he was already feeling comfortable and loved. They took excellent care of him, and I could tell he was treated like part of the family. I highly recommend Scott and Lyra to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of my puppy!

Our children like to play with dogs that board at our house. We typically take your dog out for 1-2 walks per day around the neighborhood, and regular breaks in our backyard throughout the day.

- Please let us know if your dog is social and friendly with other dogs or not. We accept more than one dog at a time (typically no more than 2), but Rover does not always reflect this. Accordingly, we need to know if your dog is safe and comfortable around other dogs prior to booking so we may plan accordingly. Dogs that are aggressive with other dogs and must be boarded solo may require us to apply added fees for blocking out our calendar.
