Dog Boarding in Shacklefords, VA

“Jennifer and Chris were great and our dogs had a great time. We especially appreciated our initial meeting. This allowed us to see all of their pets and get Sassy and Pierre to familiarize themselves with each one of theirs. Pierre went into this doggy vacay having anxiety from our previous boarding experience and they did a wonderful job and we have not been able to notice any anxiety since getting him back. We will definitely be using them in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for a peace of mind experience with boarding their dogs. Thanks again to both of you Jennifer & Chris!”

“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!”

“Brittany was able to answer many questions and provide a meet and greet prior to watching Bean. I had already met with 5 other sitters who weren't the right fit. Brittany came prepared to also ask me questions to Better understand how to best care for Bean. Lima Bean had a great stay even with thunderstorms present which causes her the most anxiety. She was spoiled and even came home with a cute Bandana. Brittany understood how important it was for me to receive multiple updates a day that encompassed pictures. This eased my mind that she was doing well. I would definitely recommend Brittany due to her pet knowledge and friendly personality.”

“Paul and Terri were absolutely amazing! They offered great communication, gave extra care and attention to our allergy pup, sent pictures throughout the day, and were flexible with drop-off/pick-up timing as we traveled out of state. They have more than enough outdoor space for pups to play safely. They were attentive to our pups needs, limiting outdoor time when too hot. I could tell by the pictures shared that our pup was happy and comfortable while in their care. Thank You Guys!!”

“My wife and I had the birth of our first child scheduled, and last minute we decided to have someone board our smallest dog Icarus. Within 10 minutes of messaging Scott and Amanda they called me and told me to drop my little buddy off. They took such amazing care of him… Everyday they sent me text messages, pictures, videos; they walked Icarus, their kids played with him, their Lab Walter hung out with him. I even dropped Icarus with a bit of a stomach ache and they made sure he didn’t over eat and slowly fed him to make sure he was OK. One the day we were to pickup Icarus my wife and I had to stay at the hospital longer and last minute I asked if they could watch him for 2 more days and they said “no problem at all”. Scott and Amanda are absolutely amazing dog sitters, and they’re even better people.”

“Scott and Lyra took excellent care of our pup over Labor Day weekend. This was our pup’s second visit with them and he will spend another long weekend with them in a few weeks. They send pictures and updates, which we very much appreciate. We couldn’t recommend Scott and Lyra more! I was very hesitant to use Rover, but I’m so glad I did and will continue to book with Scott and Lyra. They will exceed your expectations.”

“We recently moved to the east coast and needed to find new dog sitters. Stephanie, Max, and their dog Callie were amazing! They took such great care of our high energy dog Luke. He had so much fun with them that he didn't want to come back home :( We appreciated the photos and text updates every day! We've already booked them a second time next month. I highly recommend them!”

Christina T.

“Crystal was a fabulous sitter for our dog Rocky!! She was organized, professional,very dog savvy and also very warm and loving toward Rocky. I could tell he had a great time with her, will definitely book with her again! She also sent us daily updates and pictures.”

“They did a great job watching my 2 pups. This was my first time boarding my dogs but they sent me videos and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend and I will use them again in the future!”

“Ciara was terrific with Tank. She had him for almost a week and he was acting very comfortable just like he acts at home. He has never been around cats and small children but did great with both. Ciara knew I was concerned and updated me frequently. This was a longer business trip for us and we were so thankful to have found Ciara. We would highly recommend her! She gets 10 stars in my book!”

Michele D.

“Maggie and her family were wonderful! My dog Millie stayed with them over the Thanksgiving holiday and when I picked her up I could tell how much fun she had! Maggie sent updates multiple times a day with photos included. Millie had the best time-- would highly recommend trusting Maggie with your pup!”

“This was our first time using Rover. Tate and Rosie, our two yellow labs, had a great overnight stay with Ellie. She gave them plenty of attention and activity - like going to dog camp! We picked them up happy and tired the next day. Thank you for taking good care of them, Ellie!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for both my own dogs and cats as well as those of friends and family. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing extra care, I’ve gained hands on experience adapting to a wide range of personalities and needs. Whether it’s managing medication, keeping up with playtime, or offering quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable and thoughtful care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As a college student, my schedule varies throughout the year, and I sometimes travel in and out of town depending on the season. That said, I’m fully committed to pet care outside of my studies and offer a lot of flexibility to fit your pet’s needs. When I’m available, I prioritize consistent, reliable visits and make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. I have two cats and two dogs of my own, all with different ages and personalities. One of my cats has a medical condition that I’ve cared for and medicated, which has taught me how to spot potential health issues and respond quickly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs and maintain clear communication with owners so you can trust your pet is in capable, caring hands.

“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.”

“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!❤”
