“Amanda and Scott were able to accommodate my kind of last minute boarding request and Oakley had the best time! I had such peace of mind while I was away for work. Lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, and you can tell they are experts!”
“We have boarded our German shepherd twice with Abigail and Victor, they took great care on both occasions. We appreciate the good care they took with Ares and will use them again. Thanks guys and thank you for your service🇺🇸”
“We are overjoyed by our experience with this Rover. It was the first time we had ever left mom’s Chinese Crested with anyone since we brought her home 1-15-21 after mom’s funeral. We have taken her everywhere with us including to Gulf Shores Alabama. We were traveling with a long ferry ride this time and we couldn’t take her. We were updated with text, photos and videos that kept us from worrying about her. She looked very happy and we could concentrate on getting things done and getting back home. When we picked her up we were assured that she always has a safe and familiar place to stay if we needed to bring her back again. We couldn’t be happier with her weekend stay.”
“Kristen was great, I boarded my dog Sheeba with her for a week and she had a great time. Plenty of room for the dogs to run around on the property and her dogs are super friendly!”
“Another excellent experience for my 12-year-old Aussie and me (i.e., confident piece of mind while I'm traveling). Ellie knows and loves Animals and is flexible and considerate of their owners. Thank you.”
“Brittany is awesome. She has watched my dog twice and I would give 10 stars if I could. Shes very responsive and easy to work with. My dog was super excited when we dropped her off the second time!”
About: Creator and owner of dauchshund to the Rescue.I've always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl.I'm currently going to school for veterinary medicine. My life revolves around taking care of animals while running the rescue so I am always home to take care of all of their needs. Each dog and cat is different, so it's on a case-by-case basis, I always like to observe their behavior and take care of them based on what they seem comfortable with.
“Karen P was great! She provided a meet and greet opportunity beforehand to make sure our dogs were compatible with each other. She was very flexible and accommodating in a last minute drop off time as well as an earlier pick up time. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Alyssa was wonderful with Wally! She was flexible with our time frame (the LuLu-Belle docked at 8:00) and she sent us pictures and updates of Wally throughout the day. Wally came home happy and tired from a great day of playing! Thank you, Alyssa. We highly recommend Alyssa.”
“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of my dog Claire. She would send me update photos throughout my trip to ease my stress about how Claire was coping with us being gone. The difference between how happy Claire was when we returned proved that Alyssa is an incredible sitter and value compared to local kennels in the area.”
About: Hello! My name is Zach, I have two dogs and two cats of my own and have grown up with no less than four pets at any given time. Often when I meet people's furry companions I'm told they warm up to me faster than normal and even some times for the first time, so I'm open to try to care for almost any pet! Responsiveness, honesty, and genuine care should be expected from a pet sitter - let me know if I can help! My partner and I work from home so we're available and flexible throughout the week for all pet care services. Just let us know when and we can try to make it work! I have a big but unfenced yard, two sweet begal-hound mix brothers (one is energetic, the other lazy) and two sweet and playful cat sisters. It's a cozy and fun home environment. All the animals get plenty of attention (we love to play) and the dogs are let out consistently throughout the day. I can crate if needed, follow any special instructions, and we have a spare room if space is needed. Your pet will be treated as our own, just let us know!
“My dog was loved and cared for by Lynn as if she was still with me! Lynn sent so many pictures and messages which assured me that she was doing well without me. I strongly recommend her as a pet sitter for anyone who loves their pet!”
“I couldn't be any happier about my pooches' stay with Alana and family. Alana is a wonderful person and care-taker who hosted and treated my Kona & Nimitz as if they were her own. Can't beat that. I never had a worry about them while travelling. Alana and family could not have come more higly recommended, now I know why. My dog girls now have their Tampa area staycation home.”
“Excellent service Alexis and her husband are heaven sent. They are very responsive and took both my pups at the last minute. I couldn't see leaving my babies with anyone else.....know that you both are our pups official caregivers when we are away. They showed both my fur babies who have different personalities so much love. Our poodle was afraid to walk off the porch before we took her to you and as soon as she got home she just ran and ran all around the yard. It may be minor to some but it means a lot to my children and I. Thank you again and we will see you soon!❤”
About: I’ve had dogs on and off my entire life. For the last 12 years our family has rescued/adopted 11 dogs. I have kept family and friends' dogs while they vacation as well as done drop ins at their home for walks, feeding and cuddling. I have also taken care of goats and chickens. I will treat your pets how I would want someone to treat mine. I am comfortable around all size and breeds of dogs and cats as well as goats and chickens. I am self employed and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost any time, including nights and weekends. Most schedules can be accommodated. I have 5 acres which about 1/2 acre is fenced in with 6-foot fencing. I can snuggle your dog on the couch or crate them if they feel more comfortable like that. I have my own personal dogs but keep them separate from other people's pets. If you leave directions of what your pets routine in your home is like I can provide for them in that manner.
“Lindalyn was wonderful. She was very responsive and communicative when scheduling, in addition to answering my questions along the way. She cared for our dog like her own and made us very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her. She has a very pet-friendly home and a great fenced in backyard. We would definitely use her again, highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m a vet assistant at a clinic in Williamsburg. I have 3 dogs of my own (2 German shepherds and a lab mix). I have been caring for dogs since I was about 15.

I also live on five acres of open land, so if your pet needed to stay here, we have plenty of room to play! I look forward to looking after your sweet fur baby!
