About: Your fur baby will have a blast with our pack! Winnie, Tater and Goose are the ultimate pals. We will be sure to keep your pup entertained and a great way to get exercise and affection while you’re away! If you have an older dog, I can offer one on one snuggle time and a calm relaxing environment separate from the other pups. We have 2 acres and enjoy outside playtime. We frequent the dog park in Louisa and hiking trails from Richmond to Charlottesville. Common treats are homemade chicken jerky and sardines. Please let me know if your pup is not on a tick preventative. We treat our yard with a dog safe spray but enjoy recreational activities away from home and would like to be extra cautious for your fur baby. I have full weekday and have full weekend availability! We enjoy going on walks in our neighborhood or the park close by early in the morning and late at night before it gets too hot. Depending on your pup’s age, younger ones will have tater and goose to play with. Older/calmer pups will stay with Winnie and I in a separated part of the house. I will care for your pup however you feel they will do the best (:

“Lisa took such amazing care of my little Rotisserie. She always shows up on time, takes fantastic pictures, and Rotisserie really appreciated her cuddles and play time! Highly recommend Lisa as a sitter. Thank you again!”

About: 🐾 Experienced Pet Caretaker with a Heart for Healing 🐶🐱 With a passion for nurturing furry friends back to health, I've proudly fostered numerous dogs with diverse medical needs. From playful pups to senior companions, I've provided specialized care and unwavering love. My expertise extends to feline friends too, ensuring every whiskered family member receives the attention they deserve. Trust me to be your pet's dedicated companion on the journey to happiness and well-being. 🐾 Balancing Clients and Snuggles: Pet Boarding Tailored to Post-Grad Life 🎓 I graduated from graduate school in August of 2024 and moved to Richmond shortly after. I grew up with a house full of pets, so when I left for college in 2017, I began fostering dogs through local animal shelters. I have fostered dogs of all shapes and sizes with various behavioral and medical problems. I began on Rover in 2022 and have been doing it ever since! I work from home most of the time, making it easy to provide constant and consistent care for your pup! My partner, Gabe and I live together which guarantees your pet at least double the amount of pets and love they get! When I do go into the office, we tend to work opposite schedules, making it easier to make sure your baby doesn’t spend any time by themselves and helps us be more flexible with pick up and drop off! 🏡 Your Pet's Home Away from Home: Personalized Care in a Loving Environment 🐾 When your cherished furry family member steps into my home or yours, they become part of a tailored pet care experience designed with their comfort and happiness in mind. From cozy sleeping arrangements to engaging playtime, I create an environment where your pet feels safe, loved, and cherished. In my home, your pet will enjoy a dedicated space equipped with all the essentials they need, from comfortable bedding to stimulating toys. Regular exercise routines and outdoor adventures ensure their physical well-being, while personalized attention and affectionate companionship address their emotional needs. When caring for your pet in your own home, I seamlessly integrate into their routine, following your instructions to a tee. From feeding schedules to medication administration, I make it my priority to maintain a sense of familiarity and normalcy for your pet. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or going for a stroll in their favorite park, your pet's routine and preferences take center stage. Rest assured, I treat your pets as if they were my own, providing consistent, reliable care that creates a stress-free experience for both you and your beloved furry friend.

“One day I was fine, the next day I started a twelve-day stay in the Critical Care Unit of a major teaching hospital. I contacted Haley—I had never used her before, who stepped into 3-a-day visits to take care of Douglas for the duration of my hospial stay. I reeceived daily reports, but also she communicated with my friends so I could completely concentrate my efforts on healing. I feel she was part of the team that saved my life.”

About: I have had dogs since childhood! “Puppy” love can change any attitude! A little TLC for your fur babies is what I can provide for you. I work remotely so pretty flexible on time. Feeding, walking, playing all in a days work. I find that a little animal break in my day make me more productive. Our 3 large dogs use doggy door but the little ones have to be let out. We walk our dogs every morning and throw balls ever afternoon.

About: Hi! I'm Heather — a lifelong animal lover who has rarely spent a single day without a dog by my side. I've been caring for dogs my entire life and currently share my home with four dogs of my own — a 9lb Chihuahua, a 9lb Yorkie-Chi mix, a 50lb Lab mix, and a 75lb Red Retriever — plus a cat and some fish. Safe to say animals are my life! After losing a beloved dog who was poorly cared for at a kennel, I became passionate about providing the kind of attentive, loving care that every pet deserves. I know how much trust it takes to hand your fur baby to someone else — and I take that seriously. I'm available for drop in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. I'm comfortable with all sizes and breeds and happy to accommodate cats too. I'll always follow your specific instructions and send plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing. Your pet isn't just a booking to me — they're family. 💙 Pet care isn't something I fit into my routine — it IS my routine. I'm home all day with four dogs of my own, so visiting or caring for your pet fits naturally into my day. I'm available mornings, afternoons and evenings and can be flexible around your schedule. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought — they'll get my full attention during every visit. When I visit your home I treat it with the same respect and care I would want someone to show mine. I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medications, special routines, off-limit areas — nothing is too detailed. I grew up understanding that pets are family members, not just animals, and that the trust you place in someone entering your home is significant. I take that seriously every single time. You'll always receive photos and updates during every visit so you know your baby is happy and well cared for.

“Erica stopped in to let our puppy Izzy out a few times during the week. She did a great job with taking care of Izzy and responded quickly to text messages. Izzy enjoyed the company! We will def. call Erica again to come play with our pup!!”

About: I've loved and taken care of dogs since I was a child. I offer lots of time with your dog, to ensure he doesn’t miss you too much while you are away. My neighbor had 10 dogs,and I ended up taking care of them daily, taking them for walks, playing with them, training them, and of course snuggling on the couch.I've had experience with small dogs such as Jack Russells to big dogs such as German Shepherds. Most dogs tend to love me, as I give into their puppy eye look when they want me to throw the ball one more time or get an extra treat. I will do my best by keeping your dog safe by keeping he/she on a leash whenever we are out and about and keeping doors shut from escape artists. I also have experience with cats, birds,fish, and farm animals. I grew up with horses, goats, cows, chickens, etc. Feel free to ask any questions! I will answer as soon as I can! I’m currently unemployed, and have plenty of schedule flexibility to provide the upmost care for your beloved pets. Feel free to contact me for any of your needs! I have a fenced in back yard with lots of fun games and puzzles to play with your dog. I follow word by word instructions as well wether in my home or yours.

“Brayleigh is absolutely the best and so caring! She is extremely responsible--right from the initial meet and greet and continuing the entire 12 days she cared for my cat. Everyday, Brayleigh provided a little commentary about what Shadow did that day that made me smile! I am calling her again to care for my furry kids and to see when she can also watch/walk/care for my little 4 lb toy poodle. I am so incredibly lucky to have found her on Rover.”

About: I grew up with animals of all kinds and was always responsible for their care; it’s second nature for me. I take pride and joy in pet care and am very attentive and detail oriented for any pets with special needs or routines. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, and birds. ⏰ I work a full time job in midlothian. My work days end around 6 during the week and at 4 on Saturdays.
