“Kayla does an amazing job! She takes the best care of our boys which is such a blessing when we are away from home. She provides awesome updates and really cares for our boys. I would highly recommend her.”
“Amber did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. One of my cats is really nervous around strangers and he seemed to get comfortable with her very quickly! She was willing to work with him to get him through his separation anxiety so he would eat, which has always been a challenge in the past. She also went above and beyond to make sure some plants that arrived in the mail got taken out and watered. Will definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“Casey is very communicative and does a great job with your fur baby! You can tell she really cares for your pet and is professional! Would definitely ask her to visit again.”
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.
“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!”
“Franki responded to a last minute request which was helpful. She was communicative and on time every check-in! Would definitely recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve had experience with helping with puppies and other ages of dogs. I personally have a cat of my own and I’ve had 4 years of experience with cats. I am currently working 35-40 hours a week and I am mostly free in the afternoons and evening. I am completely free on Sundays too! I follow the care instructions outlined by the owner and treat the pets with so much love. I can play with the pets as needed!
About: With over 50 years of pet ownership and caretaking experience as a foster through Lab Rescue of Greater Richmond, I would treat your furry friends as my own. I’ve had both dogs and cats and am comfortable administering medications and working with pets of all ages. As a retiree with no pets of my own at the moment, it’d be a great joy to take care of yours. I’m fully retired so I have plenty of time available to devote to the care and well-being of your pets. I’m happy to do scheduled drop-in visits during the day or overnights if needed throughout Augusta County. As a former foster parent, I have worked with dogs of varying comfort levels and special needs. I would take care of your pets with the same level of care and support as my own. I’m just as happy to go on a nice walk as I am to be a couch potato - whatever your pet needs, I’m here for them.
“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’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs for as long as I can remember. I also grew up with dogs and absolutely adore them, as well as cats. I am working a flexible part time job where I make my own schedule, so I have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs. I have years of experience taking care of peoples’ dogs in their home. I will always keep your pet and home happy, healthy, and safe.
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
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Skipper.”
