We had a great experience and will definitely be using Amanda again in the future.

About: I love dogs and have taken care of our family dog. I understand how precious they are and how they deserve to be treated with compassion and love I'm newly retired and would love to provide love and nurturing care to your sweet furbaby! Plenty of space and a large fenced yard! Plenty of rubs and walks I have a plenty of room, a large fenced yard and a friendly senior dog. I am usually asked by neighbors and friends to care for their dogs for short term or long term
“Amazing service! My dog seemed very comfortable here and they were very friendly! Even though it was a one time visit for a vacation if I lived here this would definitely be somewhere I took him every time.”
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.
“Gus had an amazing time with Nichole….he didnt want to leave! She was excellent with communication and sent the cutest pictures of him while playing with other dogs. So thankful for the time and love she spent taking care of our puppy for a few hours.”
“Michele was fantastic and my dog was so happy with her. She responded quickly and sent lots of wonderful updates of my happy dog. Will definitely be seeing her again for all my dog needs!”
“Again my Lady had a great time. She came home so tired and just slept all night. Which I what I wanted. She is so loved there. They really treat her like I do.”
“Eric helped us out on short notice and was very responsive throughout the stay. Our dog, Mylo, was well taken care of and all tuckered out when we picked him up🙂 We will definitely reach out again when we are back in the area!”
“Daisy had a great time with Cassandra and Tradd. She had a fun time playing with noodle and macaroni as well as their two children. Very thankful we found them and absolutely intend on reaching out the next time we are going out of town!”
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.
“Rachel is incredible with our puppy, who I know, is a lot of energy and work! My dog is so excited to come over to Rachel’s house, she’s practically jumping from my arms! I am so grateful for the love and care Rachel provides!”
“I needed a special day care/boarding home for my young, tri-pawed dog. The first visit was a day care trial where my dog and Lisa's family and dog were able to really interact to see if this was a good fit. Very professional, patient and works well with my dog. Now, I know where I will be boarding her when I travel. Thank you.”

About: Hi! My name is Rheagan. I am a huge dog lover, and I have my own little fur ball at home :) I’ve had dogs my entire life and since I was a little girl I’ve always had a special place in my heart for them.

“Very pleased with Mackenzie, very thorough and take excellent care of your animals. Mackenzie was recommended by a long time friend, and I most certainly will recommend her as well!”
“Rachel was wonderful with our puppy. My husband and I had to work late on two different occasions and needed someone to walk our energetic 11 month old puppy. Rachel was patient when she got spooked by something. Instead of pushing her to walk she brought her back in and loved on her like she was her own. She gave us details on her visit and great pictures. We will be happy to have her come back and walk our pup.”
“I’m forever grateful that Jahnia is without a doubt the lady I will reach out to if I need pup services! Thank you for always notifying me prior to walk times, sending pictures of my fur baby and keeping him fed lol thank you!”
“Morgan was wonderful. She took my last‑minute request while I’m recovering from an injury and handled my big, energetic dog with confidence and care. She sent photo updates throughout the walk, which was such a comfort. Consistent and warm communication, reliable, and truly a huge help. I’d book with her again. Highly recommend.”
“Need someone who can provide 5-star service for your pup? Meagan is the one for you!! She went above and beyond to love on our anxious German Shepherd while we were away. We were able to fully unwind knowing he was in such good hands! Each day, we received timely descriptions and photos of his exercise and playtime routines, as well as updates for weather changes. Never once did we have to wonder if he was getting enough attention, and he was a very happy guy when we came home! We'd 100% book Meagan again and highly recommend her for your pet care needs!!”
“Karen is delightful and Hudson just adores her. She was very personable and followed directions for taking care of Hudson to a “T”. I will trust her explicitly to take care of Hudson the Golden Retriever.”
“Antonio was more than accommodating and treated my Aussies with great respect. I would recommend him to anyone. Don’t hesitate and book him before it’s too late.”

I grew up with both cats and dogs and have experience with everything from energetic puppies to older pets who need extra patience and care. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, which is why I make it my priority to give them the same love, attention, and safety that they get at home. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just good company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable until you’re back I work at a dog daycare and boarding facility, which gives me plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs every day. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide up to three drop-in visits per day. Whether your pet needs a potty break, playtime, feeding, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure they’re well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Working at a dog daycare and boarding facility has taught me how to safely handle dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I pay close attention to body language, stick to each pet’s routine, and make sure they always have a clean, safe, and stress-free environment. I’ll treat your home and your furry family member with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and goats since I was 12. I am very responsible and calm and am good with nervous or timid animals. I work as a therapist and am I able to care for your pet before and after work as well as on my lunch break. I understand that routine is important and will keep everything the same as instructed. I can take dogs to a dog park for off leash exercise or leash walk near your home.
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I have experience with all ages and senior care, as my childhood dog is now 13, and I frequently pet sit and care for her. I have taken care of family and friends dogs as well, from the ages of puppies all the way to senior. With always being around various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I have learned many things throughout the years. I have experience walking reactive and nonreactive dogs. As well as, bathing, playtime, potty breaks on and off leash, and, of course, giving lots of love and snuggles! I also have experience giving pills if needed. I would love to help with any needs you and your babies may have! I am currently free almost any day and time during the week. I am an ultrasound technician, and I am taking a break from working full time. I stay home and care for our home, and get to love on my doggy in the meantime. I have lots of availability to help out anyone who is looking for a caring person who will give their baby lots of love, and care for their unique needs. My dog Chili is a two year old rescue who was previously abused and became a stray. We had to help her overcome her anxiety through trust and training. We trained her to walk and potty on a leash, crate training, dog and people socialization, commands, and to be off leash. I have learned lots of patience and training skills to help her become comfortable with us and others. Now she is my little velcro dog and protector haha! I have learned throughout the years to always earn a dog’s trust to help ease any anxiety when meeting them. Boundaries are very important to me as well. If any are stated to me, they will be upheld. I appreciate those that listen to mine, so I will always listen to others.
