“Second time booking Analise and really appreciate how she works with our dogs. They love the time she spends with them and we feel confident about the great care she's giving.”
“Amber checked in on our cat when we both had to be away last-minute. I am always nervous when leaving them but they were in great care with Amber! She sent me daily photos of their essentials she took care of, and even sent a few pics of them - which is rare because I've heard they rarely come out for our pet sitters! She made me feel mcuh better about being away and we'll request her for the future!”
“Casey is the best!! My apartment kept having power outages and losing air conditioning during a heatwave, but Casey was able to switch the fuse back on and double the amount of visits on short notice to make sure my cat wasn't stuck in a hot apartment! She was very caring with my cat and has a new friend for life - make that two new friends!”
About: Free Trial SleepOver at Lilibet's Place! Let’s first make sure our pups are compatible before booking a Pawsome Adventure! Request a Practice SleepOver at Lilibet’s Place for a convenient day; I’ll modify the current rate through the Rover app to be No Charge! Then book at least Seven Sleeps and know that your pup is in Good Hands and Good Paws! My pup Lilibet, named after Queen Elizabeth, is a six year old rescued Beagle Mix coming in at under 25 pounds and we are excited for our new adventure on Rover. Lilibet is not my first pup; I have over thirty years caring for dogs. SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place is designed for pet owners vacationing without their pups. I know how difficult it can be to find appropriate pup care while planning your own getaway. Please allow SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place to be your pups getaway with a buddy to play with during the day and two adults to love all over in the evening and weekends. We are minutes away from the Gypsy Hill Dog Park in Staunton, VA and a short Road Trip to Coyner Springs Park in Lyndhurst, VA with a Leash-Free Dog Park. There is a huge difference between a Medium Dog and a Large Dog! I am happy to entertain hosting your Large Pup if the connection is right. Lilibet enjoys playing with dogs over 40 pounds like an English Shepherd but a Doberman Pinscher coming in at 90 pounds might be a bit much for our setup. In determining if we are a good fit for your pups vacation, please keep in mind that: • I do not have any children in my home • We work outside the home and can monitor our pups using our Lilibet Cam • I am comfortable administering oral or subcutaneous injections • Lilibet is a client of Staunton Vet Clinic in town and we are ten minutes away from the Veterinary Emergency Services in Verona, VA SleepOvers at Lilibet’s Place is intended to be a minimum of one week that begins on a Friday in order for our pups to become comfortable with each other. A prior Meet & Greet is required before confirming a reservation. This can be done in person near, but not in, the Gypsy Hill Dog Park; a Virtual Visit can initiate the Meet & Greet but we'll want to meet you and your pup in person. Your dog must be house broken as I work outside the home during the day. During holiday breaks I will make an exception to my “only one sitting assignment” policy to accommodate more Pet Parents if necessary! Outside of the holiday season, I will only take in one sitting assignment at a time. Lilibet has the run of the house while we are at work; she and your fur buddy are welcomed to lounge on the sofas, beds, or dog bed we provide. If your pup has their own home comforts they are welcome to pack an overnight bag for their stay to include favorite toys, treats, beds, and smells from home. During your pups vacation with SleepOvers at Lilibet's Place, you can select from one of Five Excursions during their stay to include: • A trip to Wright's Dairy-Rite, a local landmark for an adventure with a Pup Cup at their historic Curb Service. • An adventure to run free on the farm with other pups and cats while meeting the horses. • Gypsy Hill Dog Park is right around the corner in Staunton; your pup and Lilibet can meet neighborhood friends while under the watchful eye of their chaperone. • Does you fur baby enjoy the local watering hole? Lilibet and I have access to local rivers to enjoy a splash around. • We are also happy to customize an adventure to meet your pup's needs.
“Sammi is GREAT! Wonderful communication, prompt, and followed all instructions perfectly. Sammi clearly cares and I felt as thought my fur-baby was in the best hands during my last minute trip. Can’t wait to see Sammi again!”
“Nicole is great! She was extremely patient with my mini Aussie who needs time to warm up to new people. Nicole was easy to work with and listened to my dog’s needs to set them both up for a successful weekend while I was away. She took her time to ensure my dog was taken care of and comfortable and wasn’t phased by my dog’s initial wariness of new people. She clearly has tons of experience with dogs of all kinds. I will definitely be checking Nicole’s availability next time I need someone to check in on my dog.”
About: I have owned animals since I was a child, as well as house sat for neighbors many times! I also have experience with high-energy dogs. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, so I am often available for any last minute pet needs. I am available on both weekdays and weekends! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine—whether walking, dropping in, or house sitting. I provide reliable care, regular updates, and treat your home with respect, ensuring your pet feels secure, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: My dog-sitting history is primarily dogs with a variety of health issues and idiosyncrasies. Does your dog have special needs or odd habits? I've got it covered! Normies welcome too. ;) I work full time during the week, so I'm available weekends if you need me during the day or I can lend my services on weekdays evenings/mornings depending on proximity. I'm religious about monitoring doors and making sure everyone is appropriately harnessed/leashed. I have experience administering topical and oral medications and can maintain time-sensitive care schedules.
“Ashley is great! This was our first time leaving our kitten for a short weekend. She was patient and flexible with him, even when he was stubborn about where he wanted to eat. Thank you!”
“Melissa absolutely rocks! We were gone for 7 days. She kept our dogs walked, brushed, and skritched. We got daily updates and at least 2 pictures each day. She cared for our babies as of they were her own. Highly recommend!!”
“Maria was great and my boys warmed up to her immediately. She was on time, followed all special instructions, and did absolutely amazing! Marco and Brody will be happy to have her check in again. Thank you Maria!”
“Dana was an excellent caregiver and available on short notice. She was super communicative and patient with my dog’s social quirks. She was attentive to my dog’s needs, not just there to check the boxes and leave. When my dog had an accident, Dana had cleaned up the rug using her own cleaner. Very grateful my dog had her care while I was away on a trip!”
About: I've taken care of animals for most of my life. I've always had a dog since I was born and often take care of my friends' pets. I have the time and knowledge to love your baby like my own. I am a JMU professor who is on sabbatical until January. This means I am working from home and will have plenty of time for your pet's needs. I have a large yard with areas for dogs to play and run. I have a French Bulldog who loves other animals and is always looking for a playmate.
About: I went to school for 2 years to become a veterinary assistant, work 4 days a week and love what I do and enjoy being around animals in my spare time :) I enjoy drawing and painting in my free time and consider myself a care free individual. I have a dog of my own, a 2 year old beagle mix named Jaxx. Very outgoing and loves to play but what do you expect with a pup? Besides painting and working I enjoy watching my favorite show (Greys Anatomy) and laying back listening to music. I hope this answers most of your questions about me and I hope you take the chance to message me about taking care of your pet :) you won’t regret it! LoveHas4Paws :) I’m currently taking time off for the holidays from working until the first of the year so i’m available for the holidays to pet sit. I come to the clients home to make the fur baby feel less stressed and relaxed since they are in their own home and give them all the love (and treats) lol
“Joell was a great asset to us while we were on vacation. We didn't have to worry about our precious cat being home alone and Joell's check-ins at our house gave us piece of mind while we were away. I would recommend her for cat sitting for sure!!”
About: I haven’t yet met a dog I don’t like. Not so big on slobber, but I can get behind everything else. My entire dad’s side of the family has had dogs for as long as I can remember, and three years ago we adopted our own dog, Percy. I helped train him from five months old to now and I continue to help caring for him every day. I have dogsat for various families in my neighborhood and they always ask me to come back! I’m currently home from college for the summer with very little travel plans: the perfect pet sitter! I have tons of free time and a lot of love to lend your pets. In my own home, I pay special attention to my pets. I make sure any toys that are choking hazards are immediately thrown away and I make sure the litter box is clean/plenty of potty breaks are taken. In your home I will do the same.

If you are looking for a conscientious and trusting person to watch over your pets and home, Livvy is an obvious choice. We always come home to a clean house and happy pups!”

Nichole is wonderful. She is always so kind and patient with our cats, even when one of them is being kind of a punk. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make sure their kitties are loved while they're out of town! We always feel better knowing she is checking in and we love the photos she sends. Thank you so much for helping us out again!!
Casey takes such wonderful care of our fur babies! She took the time and effort this time to problem solve when our kitties decided to escalate their food dominance games, ensuring each got enough. She also tidies up as she goes, which is much appreciated when you are walking in after vacation and a long drive. And Frodo and Bella love and trust her, which tells you everything you need to know about her character 💖 Thank you, Casey! We will definitely continue to seek her out when we need in home care for the kitties 😻
