“HIGHLY recommend! Willing to take pup at the last min. and the enviroment is dog friendly! My boy was happy when we arrived and yet not anxious to leave! Thank you!”


“It’s my first time leaving my baby and I was so anxious. Larissa made me feel so much better after meeting her. Not only did I book her last minute, she put me and my puppy at ease, me especially, with the video and text updates.”


“Omgosh! I CANNOT say enough about my boy Leo’s stay with Jessica!!! We did a meet and greet on Saturday for about an hour and Leo immediately took to Jessica, which made me feel comfortable. I left him today for the first time w her when I went to work and he did AMAZING! She sent me pictures and let me know how he was doing. She is such a genuine warm person and you can feel the love she has for her fur babies. Leo felt right at home and didn’t want to leave when I got there to pick him up. He saw me and got so excited but also sat by Jessica while we talked and kept going back and forth between her and I which only reassured me that if he could talk he would tell me he loved his stay with Jessica. I’ve already set up a recurring weekly with Jessica, I love everything about how she made my baby boy feel and how I feel so at ease knowing he is fine. I cannot recommend her enough, your babies are in the best hands with Jessica and I want to add I haven’t left my boy with anyone like this before and I was a bit nervous but Jessica made me feel like he was in great hands and it proved to be that and so much more. I feel like Leo feels like he found his home away from home when I have to have him watched and that makes this momma very happy! ❤️???”


About: I've been caring for pets since I was a young child. I've learned how to identify and read body language of animals and have a unique way of bonding with and calming anxious pets of all sizes. I have a very loveable 2 year old pit bull that has been socialized her whole life with cats, dogs, and humans. She is a happy wigglebutt and is very easy to get along with. Your pet will have a big back yard to play in and and nice calming room to rest in during its stay. Rest assured while you are away from your furry family member. I work from home, so your pet will get plenty of exercise, love, and attention. For days that I may travel, I will ensure my calendar is updated to reflect non-availability. I have a room dedicated for pet boarding. There is a TV that will play the dog or cat channel depending on who my guest is. There is roughly an acre of fenced in yard in the back of my home and also a walking trail near the home. I will follow your instructions for care and/or medication application to the T.

“Yeny and Ray were so accommodating for our pup, we needed someone to watch our dog and they were the only ppl that could last minute. We couldn’t have chosen anyone better to watch our baby. They were so caring , kind and truly made us feel at ease. We were sent updates and photos throughout our dogs stay, which we appreciated. I wish I lived in VA they would be an easy pick ! Thank you again !”


About: My own dog, Finneas, has been staying with a friend since I shipped for the Navy last year. I'm currently in Virginia awaiting my next set of full-time orders and am missing canine companionship. I have experience with socializing feral kittens, teaching violent dogs their manners, and easing pups into obedience training. I love hiking so I'm absolutely willing to take your pup on more difficult terrain if they have vigorous energy needs. My schedule is very flexible. I don't mind being up early or doing overnight duty if your schedule needs it! Occasionally I'll have military obligations but they should be reflected on my calendar. I cannot host your pups here as I live with a senior Chihuahua. However, in your home I promise to treat your space with dignity and respect as if it were mine own and to triple-check any special instructions you may leave!

“Connie is absolutely amazing! Our girl had a wonderful time and I got pictures all day long to see how much fun she was having. We definitely will be booking with Connie again. So wonderful to find trustworthy and loving care for our baby girl!”


“Morgan is amazing ! I’m in the process of selling my home and had a pre-planned event prior to scheduling my open house. Morgan came to pick up my boys they had a blast and he dropped them home after the open house was over! Morgan is a great communicator and it’s evident that he loves dogs and they love him!”


About: I have 7 years experience working with animals, and I will treat your pet like family when they are with me! I adore spending time with animals, and I would love to watch your furry family member. If your dog is not dog-friendly, please let me know so I can plan to board only yours for that time period. Your four-legged friend will get plenty of one-on-one time and attention they can’t get at a boarding facility, and the comfortability of being in a home. I have experience with animal shelters and fostering, and I have been on the Rover app part time for about three years now. I have worked with dogs of all different temperaments, and I enjoy spending time every one of them. I am very accommodating and am happy to work around any last minute schedule changes. I love spending time with animals, and your pet will be well taken care of with me. I look forward to working with you! I am home full-time; this way I am accessible at any time during the day for your pets needs. I can accommodate whatever their schedule is. While I don’t have a fenced yard, it is pretty large, and most dogs enjoy playing in it. We also live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of space to walk the dogs if they would prefer that, and I am happy to take them on as many walks as you would like. I’m here all day if your dog requires a lot of attention or has any special needs. I will follow any rules or instructions provided by you, but there are no specific restrictions. They’re allowed to roam the house as well as use the furniture.

“Very kind home! So thoughtful in every way. Lots of pictures so I knew my fur baby was having a good time. They were very easy to work with and very accommodating of me as my schedule shifted.”

About: I used to work at a dog boarding shop. I've taken care of dogs big and small, cats, and even a couple of pet pigs. Unfortunately, we had to move to a different state, and I became a mom, but I've always missing working with animals. I live in a house with a backyard though it isn't fenced, so dogs will need to be boarded with a harness and a leash. I have two cats who do have their own room if they need to retreat to a more quiet space. I also have a six year old daughter who is my helper. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom with a child who does remote schooling online. I am available to pet sit in my home any days of the week. My only restriction is that I can only come to people's houses between 8am-4pm. I have a good sized backyard to walk dogs at. If your animal is used to sleeping with their owners, I have no problem cuddling up with your fur baby.

“Melissa was great at taking care of Dasher Ron short notice. She communicated with me throughout the day and sent pictures. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Our dog was well cared for and Aleksandra's flexibility made it so we could take a last minute trip. The pics and professionalism were appreciated. Thank you!”


Phillip L.Star Sitter
“Phillip is a genuine animal lover. He is amazing with all types of animals! Dogs are his passion, but he also enjoys cats! When it comes to dogs, he is so in tune with every breed, and he takes such good care of them. He even knows how to train them to follow some general commands. I have learned a lot from watching Phillip handle his own dogs and my dogs as well. I also take care of dogs on Rover, and Phillip is great with them too. All of the dogs love Phillip! I personally, have left my own dogs in Phillip's care while I went out of town for work or family reasons. I am very picky about who I leave my dogs with, because my dogs are like my children. I definitely have peace of mind when Phillip is taking care of my dogs because he has their best interests at heart, and I know my dogs are safe and sound, and well cared for while they are in his care. I highly recommend Phillip because he is very responsible and he genuinely loves animals.”
