“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our shy mini doxie! Danielle was incredibly responsive and sent us daily updates with photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Despite booking last minute, she was flexible and accommodating with our schedule. She handled our pup’s shy nature with patience and care, and we could tell our dog felt comfortable with her. We highly recommend Danielle’s services and will definitely book with her again!”
“Hillary and her family are amazing! We live about 40 minutes away, but as soon as we got there, we immediately felt like their land was a perfect place for dogs to play. So, it was worth the drive! Hillary was so kind and her kids were very friendly. Daisy felt comfortable in their home right away. She had another puppy staying there over the weekend and her own dog Joshua. I was a little worried about how my puppy would do with other dogs and children, but seeing her play with them before I left was so comforting. Hillary has a background in puppy training and I could tell just by how she interacted with Daisy and the other pup. Hillary was great with communication and sent pictures every day! Daisy always looked happy and having a wonderful time! Most of the time, when I send Daisy somewhere, I feel sad knowing she’ll spend the majority of the time in a crate, but this was the complete opposite! Daisy basically got a vacation while we were gone. Haha. Thank you, Hillary! We really appreciate you!”
“Casey and her littles kept my husky sky for almost a week in July and she was AMAZING, she always kept us up to date on sky, sent pictures daily. And the kids left the cutest little card when we had picked sky up! I will definitely be using Casey every time I have to leave town! I didn’t have to worry once that sky was being taken care of and felt at homes (:”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Such a great experience! Communication was incredible. We received several photos and updates every day. In every photo Jud looked relaxed and content. I highly recommend Mark and Daniel for boarding!”
“Layna was a great sitter for my dog. He is still young and active, and he came home ready for a restful evening after quick run around home. Upon returning home, I think my dog may have missed having another dog to occupy his indoor time. I will definitely use Layna for future bookings.”
“Michelle was so amazing with our babies. They had a blast. She sent us videos and pictures each day as well as fun fandom daily updates as well which we greatly appreciated. We would recommend her to anyone in need of exceptional pet care. We know we will rebook in the future.”
“Heather & her family were a great match for Mía. From the Meet & Greet, to drop off, asking how to best care for her, and pick up…they were responsive, informative, and caring. Thank you!”
“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Stina, even though she was a pain and went on a bit of a hunger strike. She communicated regularly and in great detail, and always answered questions quickly. She went above and beyond in her care for Stina. I would 100% recommend her.”
“Basil was great with our 10 month old puppy! Very attentive and caring, and communicated with us when our dog seemed to not be doing well. Our dog returned home happy and healthy. We would definitely recommend Basil for pet sitting.”
“Once again and amazing person and sitter! My dog, Honey, absolutely loved her time with Jasmine and loved hanging out with the other dogs! Definitely recommend and will rebook!”
“Aquilla was great! I needed a last minute sitter for my cat for my graduation. She was awesome and easy to work with. Communication was great and always responded! Thank you so much!!”
“This is the second time that Tina has cared for Sassy. All I can say is Sassy loves her and I call her second mommy now. Sassy gets excited when she gets out of the car. She treats my girl like one of her own and sends me pictures and updates. Tina is a real gem and I feel so fortunate that she has been available as I know Sassy is in the best hands while in her care.”
“Makaylah was absolutely wonderful. I needed very last minute overnight accommodations for my pup, and ended up needing an extra day of care. Makaylah was so kind and flexible. My dog (who is often nervous with new people for a few minutes) took to her immediately, and it made me feel so comfortable leaving her, and I got morning and evening texts with sweet pictures and updates on how she was doing. I would highly recommend Makaylah to anyone!”
“Laura kept our 9-month old, 70lb 'puppy' for a week and we had a great experience. Laura was prompt, easy to deal with and kept in regular touch with us while we were away. Our dog had a learning curve to contend with - it was her first Rover experience and her first time living around other dogs. Laura handled it all without complaint . She provides lots of room to run, play and be free at her space.”
“We are very picky about with whom we leave our lab Jack. Meeting Danielle in person was very reassuring because she is a combination of energy and friendliness. I suspect Jack had as much fun playing with Danielle's dogs as we did on our mini-getaway. We intend to use Danielle in the future as the need arises and we give her our highest recommendation. I don't always leave online reviews but my wife and I really like Danielle.”

“Melanie did a great job checking on my rabbits. Everyone looked content when we got home, and it was lovely not to worry about them running out of water while we were away. Would definitely book Melanie again.”
“Brandy came and took care of our 6 cats and I cannot say enough good things about Brandy. Brandy is so kind and loving and it’s nice to know we can go on vacation and know are cats are in great hands. We will be using Brandy again and again. 😊❤️”
“Our cats and chickens were well taken care of during a Christmas trip to see the in laws and even our Christmas tree was kept watered! I look forward to having her booked for any future trips since our shy, anxious kitties like her.”
“Allison was amazing! Literally the best experience we have ever had with a pet sitter. She sent awesome photos every day that made us laugh, and she went the extra mile to take care of our dog. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Brielle was fantastic. Our dogs enjoyed her company and she gave them plenty of love while we were gone. Prompt communication and treated our pups like her own. I would definitely recommend her to anybody looking for someone to watch their pets with love and care.”
“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.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Buckingham
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years, pets are my passion! I am also a former Petshotel and Doggie Day Camp Manager for a national chain and have extensive experience handling dogs, cats, and small pets of all sizes and breeds. I am currently accepting small and medium sized dogs for in house day care and overnight stays. I specialize in small and delicate breed types, not usually suited for kenneling or vet boarding. All fur babies will be treated as family members while here! They can sit on the couch, sleep on the bed, and watch TV with us just like at home. Some larger "gentle giants" can be considered on a case by case basis, just reach out. I believe pets are family! All pets in my care are treated with loving and gentle guidance using only positive reinforcement. All dogs will remain on leash the entirety of their walk. We have a fenced in area off the back patio for bathroom breaks with wood chips as ground coverage. No grass of any kind for the safety of those pets with grass and skin allergies.
“Dana was wonderfully kind and welcoming to our Rocky. Dana’s dog Joby was a great playmate as we was greeted at the door by the two of them together when we returned. Dana had everything including a great personality. Thank you Dana! We will definitely be back if we are in the area again.”
“At first I thought Remi was mad at us for leaving him. It soon was clear to see he had a full day of fun and was pooped. Hillary had full command of him and her dog Joshua and sent us pics through the day playing and resting. I had full confidence and could see that she and her family were loving animal people. She came through on short notice and on Christmas! We recommend her whole heartedly. We will happily be using her again in the future.”

My priority is not only safety, but also ensuring every dog is happy and feels home away from home.When your best friend is in my care, you will have a peace of mind! I am currently working from home, so my schedule is flexible, and I have enough time to enjoy taking care of your furry friends giving them love, attention, providing exercise, and tailor each dog unique needs.

I understand how important it is to trust to someone with your friend, and I truly appreciate your trust in me. Thank you!
“Tina was so wonderful! I was a bit nervous going in as this was the first time I was leaving my 8 month old puppy with someone that I did not know. We set up a meet and greet during which my pup, Maizy displayed some anxiety, but Tina was not deterred. She knew Maizy needed to warm up at her pace and she got some treats right away to help build up some trust! She sent pictures and really helped me feel at ease that Maizy was well cared for! There was even a storm that rolled by which Maizy is terrified of thunder and Tina helped her feel safe! I would definitely book with her again should we need it!”
About: I am part owner of a dog training business and have dog trainers on premises. I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember. I believe dogs are the best medicine for anyone. I limit myself to only a few dogs at a time so that I can ensure each pup gets all the love, attention and care they need while their owners are away. I am a remote worker, so I am home nearly 24/7 so your pup will be well cared for and treated as though a member of the family while staying with me. I cater to what each dog needs. Your dog will never be left alone unattended while staying with me. I have 6 acres so there is plenty of opportunity to explore.
“Layman was a lifesaver when we needed a last minute dog sitter to attend our son’s graduation. She was flexible with the timing of our return as we knew traffic could be bad getting back. Our Bella seemed comfortable with Layna and got along with her dog Chance.”
“I was desperate to get a dog sitter when we were in town visiting with our daughter and Casey came through for us! The doggies loved her and she wore them out. :) highly recommend!”
“Crystal did a great job caring for our two dogs Max and Cody. She and her family obviously loved dogs and our two took to her immediately. Her place was great and the dogs were able to spend time outdoors. She gave us a worry free day. Highly recommended.”
“Amy was a great pet sitter, she was attentive and really listened to my thoughts and where we are with our puppy. Sue had toys available for him and my pup enjoyed playing with her lab. Looking forward to our next daycare day.”
About: Rover says "What sets you apart from other sitters?" My answer is simple. Find me at :KolorfulK9(.)com: Rover takes nearly 20% of the final price you pay, so I get 20% less income. 🩷 Geriatric and Special Needs Care if my specialty when it comes to pets. While I will happily accept ALL dogs under 30lbs, I specialize in elderly pets/special needs pets who don't do well in boarding situations and need extra care throughout the day. I'm well-versed in administering oral medication, injections, and even subcutaneous fluids as needed. I am available 24hrs a day for potty breaks and medication routines. I am currently the only sitter in the western area of VA that is certified through the Professional Animal Care Certification Council, a 3rd party certification. This means they do not offer any classes or teaching, but only offer the test, which costs around $400. I am also a member of the International Boarding & Pet Services Association and the International Association of Canine Professionals. I carry Pet Sitting Insurance as well. All in all, I love pets of all ages and sizes. The older ones, the smaller ones, and the ones who need just a little extra care have my heart a little more. (Please note that this site keeps over 20% of my earnings, so I do charge a bit more to book through Rover vs my personal one of KolorfulK9 ) I have availability for the following pups: all pups under 40 lbs, elderly pets of any size, and special-needs pets. I am home most of the day; when I am not, my husband is available to feed/medicate as needed. There will never be a time when your pet is left alone for more than an hour or two at a time (such as needing to run errands or going out for a quick dinner). Next, Rover asks me how I care for pets in my home. My home schedule: I am a homebody, so whenever I am not at work, you can usually find me at home relaxing with my dogs in our 'dog' room, watching Netflix, reading a book, or playing some video games on my computer. Your pup would be right there along with us, relaxing and getting all kinds of love. I am a traveling dog photographer, and if I'm home I rarely leave as I travel enough when working haha! I offer overnight stays in my home specifically for: Elderly pups and pups of all ages with special needs (Under 40lbs) who would not do well in a boarding facility. Your pups would be the center of attention in the house while they were here. We do have cats in the house, so please let us know if your pup has any issues with smaller animals. If so, we can still accommodate them, we would just have them in our dog-only area! I have a 'dog room' at home with a couch for relaxing and reading or gaming/watching Disney+ on our large screen TV, an echo dot that will play calming classical music while I am out of the room, and a padded floor with lots of rugs around for the older pups. When we aren't hanging out in that room, our house has hardwood floors with many rugs to keep paws stable, and tons of dog beds(of all sizes) scattered around for comfort. For potty times, I have a spacious fenced-in yard with plenty of shade! Meal times are at your pet's schedule! I make sure to follow any feeding and medication schedules you provide. My husband works from home, so if I am delayed due to traffic from an errand or such, he can let the pups out to potty or give time-sensitive medications/feedings. Pups are crated or placed in a separate room for Meal times and during Potty rotations to ensure no one gets too rowdy and no one becomes aggressive over their food. Please feel free to reach out with any specific questions about our day-to-day! I am happy to answer any inquiries.
About: I have been helping take care of dogs and cats since I was 10 and have pet sat for many people before joining Rover. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles, fish, and chickens. I am excited for the opportunity to look after your pets of all kinds! I can watch your pet during the day, do shorter drop-in visits, or stay overnight to give your pet attention while you’re away from home. I have a flexible schedule as an online college student so I can spend the majority of time with your pets, in your home or mine. I like to stick to the routine your pet is used to, but am also open to taking them on adventures if they do well in a small car.
About: 💚 Personalized Boarding & Doggy Daycare! Your dog will be treated like part of the family while you're away. I intentionally keep my numbers low so every guest receives plenty of individualized attention and supervision. I'm a homeschool mom, homemaker, and lifelong dog lover. My husband, two daughters, and three dogs make our home a safe, loving environment where someone is home most of the day. Whether your pup enjoys outdoor play, couch snuggles, or a quiet place to relax, I'll do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home. 🐾 Doggy Daycare Daycare includes supervised play, rest time, outdoor breaks, and lots of attention. Drop-off begins at 6:00 AM, and pick-up must be completed by 5:00 PM. Daycare stays are limited to 10 hours. 🐾 Meet & Greets Required I require a free meet-and-greet before accepting new clients to ensure we're a great fit for each other. 🐾 Breed Restrictions For insurance reasons, I am unable to accept Doberman Pinschers, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Chow Chows, German Shepherds, or wolf hybrids (including mixes). I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! As a homeschooling mom, I'm home with the dogs most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of care, potty breaks, playtime, and love throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, so guest dogs can settle into a comfortable rhythm that works for them. Whether your pup enjoys playing, lounging on the couch, following people around the house, or taking frequent naps, they'll have plenty of opportunities to do so. If I leave the house, it's typically only for a short period of time. I'm happy to accommodate dogs who are crate-trained or who prefer a crate for naps, meals, or bedtime. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully supervise all interactions between guest dogs and resident dogs, and I take time to learn each dog's personality, preferences, and needs. Meals are served separately to create a calm, stress-free environment and prevent food-related conflicts. I'm happy to follow your dog's normal feeding schedule, medication routine, and any special instructions you provide. My home features a large, securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. Whether your pup loves fetch, sniffing every blade of grass, or simply relaxing outdoors, they'll have plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. At bedtime, I do my best to maintain your dog's normal routine. Whether they sleep in a crate, on a dog bed, or in another familiar setup, I want them to feel comfortable, secure, and at home during their stay.
About: We breed and train Chesapeake Bay Retrievers that are raised for Hunting, Hunt Tests, Obedience, and for conformation(shows). We have been involved with many breeds including Great Danes, Setters, Retrievers, and even Mutt Mixes. We start the day before sunrise to let the dogs out for a run and feed them. Around lunch time the pups are let out to play and exercise some more. We feed animals again around sunset or about 12 hours from their breakfast meal and let them exercise and play. One more outing before we go to bed where we always check in with our "puppy cams" before nodding off to sleep. Your dogs will be exercised multiple times a day on the farm on an adventure that changes based on the weather. In the summer we put a kiddie pool out for them to play in which we keep nice and clean. Some warm days we may take the dogs on a hike to the creek in the summer time where they can run around and have fun, other days it may be an outing around the fenced in areas. Any specific medical needs will be taken care of based on their needs and within our abilities. We will exercise them individually unless we are informed otherwise on their play pals.
“I am so blessed to have found Tamara and double blessed that she lives so close to me. Perry took to her right away and he loves her dog Ollie. I am so happy that my baby now has somewhere to go and have some interaction during the week. I’m excited to have a learn long-term caregiver for Perry.”
About: I’ve had a dog my entire life except for a few very lonely months in 2020 after I lost the love of my life, Romey, the naughtiest lab with the best sense of humor. I grew up with labs (mostly ) but now have Gizmo, a labrodoodle , who will soon become BDE (best dog ever) if he can finally learn how to not jump like a kangaroo when he sees his dog friends. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. I’d walk, feed and love on my neighbors and friends pets. I hope I will be the one you call and who you can trust with your furry BFF. Whether you have a long day at work or a weekend vacation, I’ll be there for you! I work part time on the weekends up on the mountain and have lots of time during the week to help out with your dog! I have a fenced in play area in my back yard and crates, dog beds and a designated “dog room” where your pet can relax in solitude or with Gizmo!

I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals and take care of their needs. I have a very large unfenced yard that would be great for leashed activities like walking and going potty. I also have a fenced area that’s perfect for some unleashed outdoor time. I would keep any pets inside most of the time to ensure safety while I am with them. I do have a crate that I could keep your pet in while I am at work (if your baby is crate trained). All animals are allowed to roam the house and sleep in the bed if that’s allowed at home!
About: Friendly sitter with experience with senior pups, cats and chickens. I currently have two wonderful dogs and a handful of chickens. One of our dogs is what we believe is a Foxhound and the other is a Shepherd mix. Both are rescues so we are not sure. I also have experience with cats, parrots (green crowned conure) and various farm animals. Update: I no longer work from home. I am now in Richmond M-F, 8-5. I am happy to stop by during my lunch break to check on your babies in the city. Any other surrounding areas would have to be weekends and not during work hours. Apologies for any inconvenience! I am happy to stop by your home and care for your pets. One of my pups is reactive and we do not want to make her (or your baby) uncomfortable by bringing other pets into our space.
About: With prior experience in the veterinary related field and a Furmom to four, I have worked with a variety of animals. I am a current pet parent to two dogs, two cats and a thriving saltwater ecosystem. I love animals! In fact, I’ve lived with them my entire life. I have cared for creatures big and small from the domestic variety to exotics such as fish, reptiles and birds. I have also cared and assisted for sick, injured, post-operative animals, personally and professionally. My career allows for a flexible schedule, which means I can accept jobs on short notice if available! Appointments are part of my daily life, so you can rest easy knowing your pet will be cared for at the designated times and/or dates. I provide in-home service to clients which includes feedings, walks and certain extended services on a case by case basis. This would include administering prescribed medications, depending on the pet and tolerance level. Tailored to your pet's routine, I ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve, creating an stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend!
About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and know how important their care is. Dogs are just part of the family! I love getting to know each dogs personality and figure go above and beyond to consider the needs of a variety of pups. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to provide constant care for your pup. I am interested in meeting and caring for all types of dogs, big/small, puppy or seniors! I can be as flexible as possible and will be honest about your pup’s care. I will treat your fur-babes like part of the family. We have a fenced in yard and If your pup is more comfortable as part of the pack, they are invited in to have the run of the house with our family dogs. We love dogs and will try to accommodate any special requests. Available to check in on your pups every 4 hours (m-f) and spend weekends all day with your dogs! I can check in with your pups every 3-4 hours during the day and be there to stay after 4 pm. I prioritize feeding and potty schedules to make sure there are little to no changes in their routines. I care for your pets like they are my own. Figuring out they’re behaviors and personalities is important to me. Some dogs need lots of love and attention and others like their space, either way they’ll be in great hands.

“Hillary and her family are amazing! We live about 40 minutes away, but as soon as we got there, we immediately felt like their land was a perfect place for dogs to play. So, it was worth the drive! Hillary was so kind and her kids were very friendly. Daisy felt comfortable in their home right away. She had another puppy staying there over the weekend and her own dog Joshua. I was a little worried about how my puppy would do with other dogs and children, but seeing her play with them before I left was so comforting. Hillary has a background in puppy training and I could tell just by how she interacted with Daisy and the other pup. Hillary was great with communication and sent pictures every day! Daisy always looked happy and having a wonderful time! Most of the time, when I send Daisy somewhere, I feel sad knowing she’ll spend the majority of the time in a crate, but this was the complete opposite! Daisy basically got a vacation while we were gone. Haha. Thank you, Hillary! We really appreciate you!”
“Casey and her littles kept my husky sky for almost a week in July and she was AMAZING, she always kept us up to date on sky, sent pictures daily. And the kids left the cutest little card when we had picked sky up! I will definitely be using Casey every time I have to leave town! I didn’t have to worry once that sky was being taken care of and felt at homes (:”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Such a great experience! Communication was incredible. We received several photos and updates every day. In every photo Jud looked relaxed and content. I highly recommend Mark and Daniel for boarding!”
“Michelle was so amazing with our babies. They had a blast. She sent us videos and pictures each day as well as fun fandom daily updates as well which we greatly appreciated. We would recommend her to anyone in need of exceptional pet care. We know we will rebook in the future.”
“Heather & her family were a great match for Mía. From the Meet & Greet, to drop off, asking how to best care for her, and pick up…they were responsive, informative, and caring. Thank you!”
“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Stina, even though she was a pain and went on a bit of a hunger strike. She communicated regularly and in great detail, and always answered questions quickly. She went above and beyond in her care for Stina. I would 100% recommend her.”
“Basil was great with our 10 month old puppy! Very attentive and caring, and communicated with us when our dog seemed to not be doing well. Our dog returned home happy and healthy. We would definitely recommend Basil for pet sitting.”
“Once again and amazing person and sitter! My dog, Honey, absolutely loved her time with Jasmine and loved hanging out with the other dogs! Definitely recommend and will rebook!”
“Aquilla was great! I needed a last minute sitter for my cat for my graduation. She was awesome and easy to work with. Communication was great and always responded! Thank you so much!!”
“This is the second time that Tina has cared for Sassy. All I can say is Sassy loves her and I call her second mommy now. Sassy gets excited when she gets out of the car. She treats my girl like one of her own and sends me pictures and updates. Tina is a real gem and I feel so fortunate that she has been available as I know Sassy is in the best hands while in her care.”
“Laura kept our 9-month old, 70lb 'puppy' for a week and we had a great experience. Laura was prompt, easy to deal with and kept in regular touch with us while we were away. Our dog had a learning curve to contend with - it was her first Rover experience and her first time living around other dogs. Laura handled it all without complaint . She provides lots of room to run, play and be free at her space.”
“We are very picky about with whom we leave our lab Jack. Meeting Danielle in person was very reassuring because she is a combination of energy and friendliness. I suspect Jack had as much fun playing with Danielle's dogs as we did on our mini-getaway. We intend to use Danielle in the future as the need arises and we give her our highest recommendation. I don't always leave online reviews but my wife and I really like Danielle.”
“Samantha took great care of our guys Mouse and Henry. She even took our furry friends in for (a lot) longer than we originally planned due to an emergency on our part. This was amazingly helpful as we were in fort Lauderdale trying to finish a move! Knowing they were with her helped us not be stressed about their welfare. Thanks Samantha. We really appreciated it. Michael and Paula”
About: We breed and train Chesapeake Bay Retrievers that are raised for Hunting, Hunt Tests, Obedience, and for conformation(shows). We have been involved with many breeds including Great Danes, Setters, Retrievers, and even Mutt Mixes. We start the day before sunrise to let the dogs out for a run and feed them. Around lunch time the pups are let out to play and exercise some more. We feed animals again around sunset or about 12 hours from their breakfast meal and let them exercise and play. One more outing before we go to bed where we always check in with our "puppy cams" before nodding off to sleep. Your dogs will be exercised multiple times a day on the farm on an adventure that changes based on the weather. In the summer we put a kiddie pool out for them to play in which we keep nice and clean. Some warm days we may take the dogs on a hike to the creek in the summer time where they can run around and have fun, other days it may be an outing around the fenced in areas. Any specific medical needs will be taken care of based on their needs and within our abilities. We will exercise them individually unless we are informed otherwise on their play pals.
“Gretchen was incredibly responsive, supportive, & communicative — especially for a last-minute request. If I’m in the area again and need a dog sitter, I will definitely reach out; the care from her community of neighbors was incredible! I particularly appreciated their transparency & consideration for Bugs’ needs.”

“Chris and Gina was great with King Von. I was kind of nervous prior to the meet and greet. Before I left I just knew my boy was in good hands. I received pictures and videos also to keep me updated. I will definitely be using there services again!!”
