About: **Work from Home** **Please message if you have more than 2 dogs for special pricing** I am very much a helicopter mom to all of my fur babies. I will care for yours the exact same as I would my own. Being someone you can trust with your family member while you are at work or away from home is my goal. I have fostered for a trusted animal rescue and screened for potential adopters as well! I work from home so I will have plenty of time to go on walks, play and let them out for potty breaks. I make sure your pup stays on their “at home” schedule to keep them comfy and relaxed during their stay. I have a fenced in yard and a clean home with nothing laying around on the floors. Your baby will have their own space (with or without crate) and will be cared for like they are my own.

About: I have multiple years of experience babysitting and pet sitting. I also have a few friends with pets that I help take care of as well. My schedule is pretty flexible during the week since I work from home. I am available during the week and occasionally on the weekends as well. Please don’t hesitate to reach out even if the date is blocked off. I definitely try my best to make it work schedule wise. I live in an apartment complex but there are various nearby parks and open spaces that are pet friendly. There's also a lot of walking space around the complex. I take care of my grandpa currently and he would love to have company of a four legged friend. 🥰

“Learick had great communication while keeping my puppy which was great, considering I was a first time Rover user and never had had a sitter before. Everyday I was sent photos + videos and provided with updates! I will definitely book again.”

About: I love dogs of all sizes and ages! My family recently lost our pitbull, Emma, who was 7 years old, so my mom has temporarily kidnapped my Chihuahua so the house doesn't feel so lonely. Now my house feels a little too quiet without her around. I am loving, caring, trustworthy, and responsible! Your pet is free to roam around the house with me, and I'll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, to dog parks, on car rides, to the beach, and anywhere they can have fun and enjoy themselves (with your permission, of course). I like to keep dog parents updated with pictures & texts throughout their pet's stay. I understand that every dog has their own personality and unique needs, and I am committed to giving them the very best care while providing you with peace of mind. I will make sure your pet feels welcomed, loved, and right at home here! I work from home, so I'll be with your doggie for most of the day. The only time they'll be home alone is when I run errands. I care for pets in a safe, loving home with a fenced yard where they can play and get fresh air. They are treated like my own. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I also send regular updates with photos and messages.

“Lianna is absolutely amazing I would recommend her to anyone! She was so sweet with my pup! She has so much patience and kindness. She really does care for and love dogs. She understands their needs better than most people, and makes sure the dogs are safe and compatible to play together. Honestly she was a complete godsend for me when I really needed someone to watch my pup!”

“Sherry was very flexible, accommodating, and an excellent communicator. We received several pictures even during a short stay, which we appreciated very much! Very sweet family. Thanks Sherry!”

About: I have been taking care of animals and working around them for as long as I can remember. From a very young age I was always at my grandma’s house visiting her and her animal rescue that she owned. She had animals named after me and my siblings, there was over 150 cats and dogs at one point and as a little girl it was a dream. I loved taking care of the animals and being a big help for my grandma so I hope to carry that on for you and your animals as I am currently studying for my veterinarian technology associates degree! I currently work part time while I am in school to become a veterinarian so I have plenty of time to spend caring for animals! I have a huge fenced in yard with a dog and 2 cats of my own. My babies are super sweet and loving, my dog loves to play and snuggle so she is very excited for a play date or furry sleepover!

“We contacted Michelle the morning we wanted daycare for our dog and she cheerfully responded within minutes. Michelle provided wonderful, loving care and was super at communicating. She sent 5 pictures and a video of her walking him during his stay. Her home was lovely and the neighborhood is great for walking. I highly recommend Michelle for daycare or boarding.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for several years through both personal and professional experience. I worked at a dog kennel for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. During that time, I handled daily feeding, exercise, cleaning, and administered oral medications, including pill medications, while making sure each dog received the individualized care they needed. In addition to my professional experience, I've raised my own puppy and currently have two dogs, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that pets need to feel comfortable and safe. I've also provided pet sitting for friends and family, treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter routine, I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I work from home during the week, so I'm home most of the day and have the flexibility to provide consistent care, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also care for my own two dogs every day, making sure they get the exercise, enrichment, and love they need. In my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of space to play. We also use baby gates to help separate spaces when needed, making it easier to keep pets comfortable and safely introduce them to new environments. Since we're currently raising a young dog ourselves, our home is already puppy-proofed, we don't leave out items that could be a hazard, and we're mindful about keeping the environment clean and safe for curious pets. I treat every pet like one of my own and make sure they receive lots of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates for their owners.

About: My home can offer you the level of care and attention you want for your pet. I’ve always believed dogs shouldn’t just be “checked on”—they deserve attention, interaction, and a sense of comfort while their owners are away. Your pet will be loved on as if he/she were my own. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have raised several from puppies through their senior years, including a rescue, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. My home is very pet-friendly, with a large backyard for play and space to relax. I also have a 5-year-old lab and a young child, so safety is a top priority. I only accept dogs that are gentle and a good fit for a family environment. My goal is simple: to give your pet a safe, calm, and genuinely cared-for place that feels as close to home as possible. I am currently working part-time, so I am home frequently. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods of time. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm available 24/7 unless I am going out of town. I usually work Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 5pm-10pm. I prefer to do a meet and greet before boarding. I cant always accommodate last minute bookings, but don't hesitate to reach out. I have a large fenced in yard, one very playful 5 year old lab, and a friendly toddler. My dog has free rein of the house and yard. When I am home, I leave the back door open so she can come and go as she pleases. When I leave, I can separate the dogs and crate as needed.

About: I have one small 3 legged rescue and just adopted another rescue September 2025 who is recovering from being hit by a car. Both are chihuahua s Prior to moving to Virginia I fostered both cats and dogs. I was known as a foster failure since I adopted many of my fosters and at one time I had 8 dogs. I love all animal but have a special place in my heart for dogs. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands and would love to spend some time with your dog when you are not able to. I will treat them as if they were mine9. I have two small dog that does fine with other dogs. My yard is fenced and secure. I believe dogs belong in the house since they are part of the family.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 18 years and have always been passionate about providing them with a safe, loving environment. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement when caring for pets of all ages. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've also provided care for a friend's senior dog while they were away on vacation, giving me experience with the extra patience and attention older dogs often need. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with unique routines. As a scientist, I'm naturally detail-oriented and observant, so I pay close attention to changes in behavior and always follow care instructions carefully. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine! I have a puppy of my own, so my days naturally revolve around walks, feeding, playtime, training, and making sure she's happy and healthy. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve, whether that's sticking to their normal routine, providing plenty of exercise, or simply keeping them company. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any other preferences you have to help your pet feel comfortable while you're away. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a safe, clean environment. I use positive reinforcement and never harsh discipline. My puppy is friendly and well-socialized, and I'll always make sure introductions are done safely if applicable. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I'll make sure your pet receives lots of love and attention, fresh food and water, walks or playtime as needed, a clean litter box or potty area, and plenty of affection. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Know that your dog(s) are safe and loved with me! I have had dogs since I was a toddler. I have taken care of other people's dogs for the last 19 years. I treat everyone's dogs as my own. I lost my dogs a couple years ago and caring for others' dogs fulfills me. I am home full time so I am able to take the dog out as needed throughout the day or come to your dog's home during the day. I have a fenced yard however if you prefer me to go to your home that is fine too! Whatever is best for your family.
