“Natasha and her family took care of our dogs like they were members of their family. Other places offered our dogs to " let out" every few hours from a shed. Natasha looked after our partially deff and blind senior citizen pug and our ball obsessed boarder collie in their own home. The dogs were always around someone who could play and love on them.”
“Our three pups had the best stay! We received lots of photos and updates. The premises were clean and plenty of space for our doggies to run and play. Denton & Elizabeth exceeded our expectations, we definitely will reach out again to book our next stay with them! :)”
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.
“We left our 3 small dogs with Amy for 10 days. She consistantly sent videos and pictures and updated us on the how they were doing (as promised.) She understood dogs and seemed to meet their every need. They were happy instead of depressed when we picked them up. We will definitely return for her services!”
“Excellent dog sitter. We got photos everyday and our miniature schnauzer was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Cyndi. We will bring our Zoe back for another stay. Thanks SO much , Cyndi ?”
“Wonderful experience. Emily and Abi took such good care of our CheChe! Communication was excellent and they made sure she had everything she needed to be healthy, happy and comfortable during her week-long stay.”
“I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.”
“My dog Neo stayed with Elizabeth for an entire week. He is an older dog with some medical issues and this was our first time using Rover. Elizabeth did a great job caring for Neo, she went above and beyond when Neo ran out of eye drops to make sure he had what he needed. She kept me posted on his experience with pictures and text messages and really set my mind at ease during my vacation. I would definitely book with Elizabeth again and highly recommend her.”
“Paula took excellent care of Luna, and I've never seen Luna take to someone so quickly as she did Paula! Normally when we get back from leaving her, she can't wait to jump in the back of our vehicle to head home-not the case this time! In fact, she acted like she wanted to stay with Paula! Good job, and thank you Paula!”
“I have two small kittens that I had to leave for a week. They stayed with Riley all week and looked very content and happy in the pictures I received. Riley’s veterinary experience was also a huge peace of mind. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Our pup had an amazing stay. We were put at ease by the many updates and pics of her enjoying herself. Pamela and Paul are so incredibly friendly. We will definitely book again!”
“I have to admit I was very nervous leaving my dog, Zeus with Robin when we went on vacation. However, Robin was great with Zeus. She texted, and sent pictures of Zeus daily. She put all my fears to rest soon after I left, Zeus with her. If you’re looking for someone to give your dog unconditionally love while you’re away, Robin is who I recommend. I know I will be using her services again in the near future. Thank you again, Robin for taking such great care of Zeus while we were away!!!”
“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”
“They took care of them very well! We were worried because our dogs have limited human interactions, but she assured us that they were really good. We were very scared putting them in someone else's care but they did above and beyond, especially for the dogs temperaments. Thank you!”
“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”
“This was our first time booking with Matt and it was a great experience. Our pup got plenty of care and fun and we could relax knowing she was safe. We received daily update with picture of our dog and her new friends. Will definitely book again.”
“We love Damacia, and so does our Onyx. She has taken care of him since he was a young puppy and has even provided insight/suggestions in things to add into his daily routine. He has grown a lot and LOVES her so much.”

“Jenna was exceptional—highly communicative, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful in her care for our cats. We would absolutely welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future.”
“Excellent caretaking of our cats. Kelly went the extra mile to also feed our wild birds, which I know THEY appreciated! She made sure that the trash got taken out so that our house didn't smell of old catfood cans, which was so thoughtful. We will use her again!!!”
“I have two small kittens that I had to leave for a week. They stayed with Riley all week and looked very content and happy in the pictures I received. Riley’s veterinary experience was also a huge peace of mind. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Sophia took great care of my two kitties! She was really sweet and easy to get in touch with to set up the visits. While I was gone she sent me great notes and pictures every day. And she didnt make me feel judged for all of my ridiculous cat care requests (like all good crazy cat ladies have). She also went above and beyond to help me with a problem that came up in my apt while I was gone. I came home to a clean apt and happy kitties. I would definitely book her again and recommend you do too!”
“One day I was fine, the next day I started a twelve-day stay in the Critical Care Unit of a major teaching hospital. I contacted Haley—I had never used her before, who stepped into 3-a-day visits to take care of Douglas for the duration of my hospial stay. I reeceived daily reports, but also she communicated with my friends so I could completely concentrate my efforts on healing. I feel she was part of the team that saved my life.”
“Elena is fantastic! We have two rescue doodles and one of them is scared to death of strangers. She was patient and kind to our pups, and Annie and Cooper took to her right away! We just love her and will definitely use her as a regular sitter!”
About: Hi! I'm Reis, a dependable and active animal lover with both professional and personal pet care experience. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility where I supervised doggie daycare, monitored group play, and helped ensure dogs stayed safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. This experience taught me how to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight house-sitting and pet-sitting services, caring for pets in their own homes and maintaining their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. As someone with an active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a weekend sitter, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently work a part-time job that allows me to have a lot of flexibility. I am able to work in all of Richmond and surrounding areas as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Through my experience working at a dog daycare facility, overnight house-sitting, and caring for both a senior dog and a young dog of my own, I've learned that every pet has different needs and energy levels. Whether your pet prefers a relaxed walk and extra patience or lots of activity and play, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: I've been around animals since before I could walk, and have always had a way with them. If you're looking for a caring, detail oriented, and experienced fur sitter/walker, look no further. From feathered birds no bigger than your hand, to strong horses, I've handled just about anything. While I am new to this app, I am no stranger to animals. Wether they are young babies or older seniors, I would be more than happy to care for your pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and I hope to hear from you soon.
About: What makes me a good sitter you may ask? Well a good sitter is someone who understands that our furry friends are family of course! I take this approach because i’ve grown up around and pet sat pets for much of my life. If you need someone who will care for a pet as if it were their own then you have found your sitter! I currently work full time in IT from home and I’m seeking to fill my additional time with extra opportunities! As long as I have my laptop and wifi I am available! I love to interact with pets of all shapes and sizes. Im very used to dogs and cats so Im happy to play with them as needed to reduce energy as well as crate them for naps , also as necessary. Walks, play time, nap time, feeding are all within my normal care.
About: I have been taking care of a farm and many animals on it. Four dogs and 2 teenagers. I have been watching and taking care of animals for a long time and I very much know what they need or like! Pet care fits in my every day life very easily and my teens help me out because they love their animals as much as do! I make sure all animals are comfortable and I will always get to know the animal before doing anything so they are comfortable with me or my kids!!
“Thank you Carleen for taking such good care of my shy cat Olivia! This was my first time using Rover and Carleen helped explain how it works and what to expect. My cat is typically scared of strangers and hides but Carleen managed to get photos of her! 10/10 would book again. Thank you!”
“Rochelle absolutely exceeded all my expectations. I received so many lovely updates while I was away, and she communicated with me about everything. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit uncertain, but it was such a wonderful experience. We will most definitely be working with Rochelle again, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have owned multiple cats for years now and have recently just bottle fed a kitten till she was ready to eat solid foods. I know how much works goes into taking care of cats even though most people think they are easy to take care of cause they are so independent.

I’m home most of the day so your pup will get plenty of attention and opportunity for exercise and play time. My family and I love hanging out at home in our backyard when weather is nice and spending time with our animal crew. Nowadays, I live on three acres with my family including a little schnauzer and a flock of chickens. Your pup will be able to go on long walks and adventures as our neighborhood has lots of trail options! My kids are in school most of the day, and are very responsible and good with all animals. Your pup will get lots of socialization and love with us. Your fur baby will be in good hands with us!
About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.

“Ashli has been a blessing in disguise for us! We’re so glad to have found her on Rover! Our little dog Boba loooooooves playing with Ashli’s puppies Rocky and Fozzy. We had the best meet and greet experience we’ve had so far on Rover. Ashli and her puppers spent plenty of time with us and she even went to the extent of showing us her home and talked through how Boba would be situated. Ashli has been amazing at sending updates while we’re away and genuinely cares for Boba’s wellbeing. We’ve struck gold with finding friends for Boba and us and will continue to seek her help and services as long as possible! Thank you Ashli!!”
“Always satisfied with Srujana’s care and enthusiasm when looking after Tenor. The pup always comes back happy, and most importantly, tuckered you after playing with Rex all day.”
“I have been taking my dog to daycare with Kelly for almost two months now and couldn't be happier. She has a genuine love for animals, cares for your dog like her own, and provides a flexible schedule.”
“Zadie enjoyed her day stay at Andreea's today. The shady back yard was a perfect exercise spot in this hot, muggy Richmond weather. Andreea let me know via message that Zadie wasn't so interested in her food, which she made up for when she returned home! Guess she was having too much fun interacting with Andreea's two pups to think about eating. Smooth booking, arrival and departure.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.
“We ❤️ Sheri!! She has watched my pup on my long class days for two semesters now and he now knows when we are almost at her house and gets so excited! It’s so nice knowing he is somewhere that he loves and gets lots of walks and snuggles when I can’t be there!”
“Awesome. My pup loves Amy more than me I feel like. She always comes back happy and clean even after playing all day with the other dogs. Also very flexible with my crazy schedule with pick up and drop off times. Choose Amy!!”
“Parneet was sweet and assured me my puppy was in good hands. It was my first experience with Rover and I was nervous. At the end of the day I picked up a calm, tired and happy puppy. Perfect.”
“Paula was wonderful! We were visiting from out of town and she took our booking even though it was short notice. Our dog had a great experience and Paula was responsive and kind.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and kitties since I was a kid, and often would take them on walks and help out their owners around my neighborhood whenever I can! I have wanted to have my own doggo for forever, but I am in school right now, so I have loved helping out friends and family when I can! I am also an EMS provider and have provided medical care to dogs and cats along the way that I’ve encountered on calls, which I believe sets me apart. I am currently working part time, and therefore have plenty of time to spend with your pups and kitties! I have plenty of flexibility at work as well which will help my availability as well! I have a fenced in yard at my home, with plenty of room for pets to play around! The safety of your pets and your wishes on how to care for them and their schedule is MY priority!

“Kelly was great with our new shelter dog Mindy. Kelly was prompt to respond to messages and very easy to schedule with. It was clear from our meet and greet that she is a true dog lover! Poor Mindy was terrified on her first day and wouldn't come out of her crate, but on the second day, Kelly was able to coax her out and take her for a walk. Have already re-booked!”

About: I've been around animals since before I could walk, and have always had a way with them. My family and I lived in a trailer park when I was little. My mother always said from the moment I was born the animals flocked to me and there was no animal I couldn't get my hands on. My sister and I used to play with the stray cats outside of Grandpa's house. Pop would always mention how the cat we were holding would never let anyone close enough. Mom would often find "miss kitty in my crib with me. As I got older miss kitty passed away, but had left behind some kittens in her stead. Mom had decided to keep one and named him pudgy. He was a long hair black cat with the tiniest bit of white on his underbelly. I can remember running up and down the hallway and tap my shoulder as if trying to play tag with my sister and I. Pudgy and I had been the best of friends for about 18 years, till his passing. During the years he and I were together, he would often come running anytime he heard me sniffle or begin to cry. There were many other animals that we had over the years as well. Dogs, chickens, goats, rabbits, rodents, amphibians, horses they've been a vital part of my life. But no matter what I always come back to many best friend and the furry felines. If you're looking for a caring, detail oriented, and experienced fur sitter/walker, look no further. From feathered birds no bigger than your hand, to strong horses, I've handled just about anything. While I am new to this app, I am no stranger to animals. Wether they are young babies or older seniors, I would be more than happy to care for your pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and I hope to hear from you soon. I am currently working on getting my EVOC certification for Royal Medical. I will not have my updated schedule until after March 29. When I watch pets I do generally have my 5 yo with me. Availability -pending I have a dog pen out back and a cable that we use with our dogs fairly frequently when the weather is nice. I also have a play pen that the pups play in.
About: Hello! I've had dogs my entire life! I love dogs and have two of my own. Lolo is an 8-year-old, blind Cocker Spaniel. Roo is a 4-year-old, Maltese/Lhasa Apso mix. I've raised my dogs since they were puppies. My house is kid and dog-friendly. My dogs lay on the couch and sleep with me. I have a fenced backyard and supervise my dogs outside. My two sons are 14 and 11. They live with me half of the week and love to host friends' dogs. When they are gone, I appreciate the companionship of furry friends. I don't go out at night so your pet will have lots of evening attention. I live in a safe neighborhood with an easy, low-traffic walking route. I understand how important it is to have a trusted person watch my pets when I'm away and will be happy to love on yours. I am a school counselor in Henrico County and have the summers off contract. I am available for boarding and pet walking 7 days per week from 6/1 to 8/10. I have a fenced-back yard and two dogs of my own. If your dog is timid, I can keep the dogs separated. If your dog loves furry company, it can join our crew throughout the house. My dogs sleep in my bedroom and I'm not opposed to dogs in my bed. I have a mudroom roomy enough for a crate, if your dog would prefer to sleep alone. I am willing to go to a client's house for pet care and walks throughout the day. I can take your dog to the dog park, if you'd like. Does your dog like to fetch? I would be happy to play with him/her.
About: Taking care of dogs or any animal in fact has always been something I really enjoyed from a young age. I started a few years ago just reaching out to friends and family to take care of their pups and I’ve had a blast and want to make it a more every day thing. I just love making dogs as happy as they make me:) Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I work very part-time and have lots of flexibility. I love being able to plan my days around walks, playtime, and quality time with the pets I care for. I’m also available for overnights, which means I can give pets extra comfort and consistency while their owners are away—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like work! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable space with plenty of attention and playtime. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, and any meds they need. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for the pet. Whether it’s my home or theirs, I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel loved, relaxed, and well cared for
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was 9! I’ve had two dogs in the past, and currently have 6 cats in my household. I can administer all kinds of medication, and have a past in diabetic care with insulin needles, and oral, liquid medications, and ointment. I understand putting your trust in sitters with your babies is difficult, but I ensure that I will do my very best to love and care for them all I can! 🐾🐾 I’m currently out of work, and between high school and college, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals. I also have a car, so I can make trips to the store or vet clinic if necessary. I will spend all of my time in your home with the animals, playing with them if they are friendly or playful, or just being there for them if they’re shy. I make sure they’re fed, have clean litter, and fresh water. I’m also willing to administer any medication you feel comfortable trusting me with.
About: I have been around animals forever. My neighbors have also been trust me to be able to take care of their pets when they go on vacation. I also have 3 cats of my own that I love and adore. I just recently found a kitten and bottle fed her till she was ready to take on solid foods. I would love to be able to give your pets the care they deserve! I have three cats of my own so I wake up early before work to feed them. Then also on my breaks I go visit them because I live close enough to work. I love to be able to spend as much time and play with them as much as possible. I would love to show the same love and care that I show my own. I always make sure not to spook any animals, even if I’ve known them forever. I never want my sudden movements to scare them in anyway and I want them to be able to trust me.
About: I’ve had animals in my house since I was born! I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve even had fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and ferrets. Needless to say, I truly love animals so much (maybe even more than humans). I turn into a full on mom when any animal comes my way. I’ve had experience with taking care and training animals since I was 12. All in all, taking care of your lil ones while you’re away is not just a vacation for you, it’s a vacation for me as well. Expect to come home to healthy, relaxed, and happy lil guys and girls! I’m currently a part time student who is also working part time sooo I have a lot of free time on my hands! I’m available on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am currently only accepting boarding in the client’s home due to my own dog’s training. I will care for pets in my client’s home exactly as instructed by them. I will be able to stay with them all day, let them out every hour or so, feed them when scheduled, take them on walks, have play time, and cozy time as well.
About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.
“We had a great walk yesterday. Rochelle was great. She walked Prince and handled him very well. She also learned some of our walking routes as well as side streets of Ashland.”
“Wesley was fantastic with our pups! Working 12hr shifts it can be challenging to find someone to check on and walk my two mini poodles, so I am very thankful Wesley was able to make time for them! Wesley also took the time amidst a busy schedule to meet the fur family which really helped😊🫶🙌”

“Natasha and her family took care of our dogs like they were members of their family. Other places offered our dogs to " let out" every few hours from a shed. Natasha looked after our partially deff and blind senior citizen pug and our ball obsessed boarder collie in their own home. The dogs were always around someone who could play and love on them.”
“Our three pups had the best stay! We received lots of photos and updates. The premises were clean and plenty of space for our doggies to run and play. Denton & Elizabeth exceeded our expectations, we definitely will reach out again to book our next stay with them! :)”
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.
“Excellent dog sitter. We got photos everyday and our miniature schnauzer was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Cyndi. We will bring our Zoe back for another stay. Thanks SO much , Cyndi ?”
“I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.”
“My dog Neo stayed with Elizabeth for an entire week. He is an older dog with some medical issues and this was our first time using Rover. Elizabeth did a great job caring for Neo, she went above and beyond when Neo ran out of eye drops to make sure he had what he needed. She kept me posted on his experience with pictures and text messages and really set my mind at ease during my vacation. I would definitely book with Elizabeth again and highly recommend her.”
“Paula took excellent care of Luna, and I've never seen Luna take to someone so quickly as she did Paula! Normally when we get back from leaving her, she can't wait to jump in the back of our vehicle to head home-not the case this time! In fact, she acted like she wanted to stay with Paula! Good job, and thank you Paula!”
“I have two small kittens that I had to leave for a week. They stayed with Riley all week and looked very content and happy in the pictures I received. Riley’s veterinary experience was also a huge peace of mind. Would recommend to anyone!”
“I have to admit I was very nervous leaving my dog, Zeus with Robin when we went on vacation. However, Robin was great with Zeus. She texted, and sent pictures of Zeus daily. She put all my fears to rest soon after I left, Zeus with her. If you’re looking for someone to give your dog unconditionally love while you’re away, Robin is who I recommend. I know I will be using her services again in the near future. Thank you again, Robin for taking such great care of Zeus while we were away!!!”
“They took care of them very well! We were worried because our dogs have limited human interactions, but she assured us that they were really good. We were very scared putting them in someone else's care but they did above and beyond, especially for the dogs temperaments. Thank you!”
“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”
“This was our first time booking with Matt and it was a great experience. Our pup got plenty of care and fun and we could relax knowing she was safe. We received daily update with picture of our dog and her new friends. Will definitely book again.”
“My dog came home happy and tired! He enjoyed playing with Terry's pups and she was great about sending me pics/videos of his stay. I also appreciated her flexibility re: pickup. Thanks Terry!”
“We had our first experience with Amanda and family, and it was a long stay, over the holidays. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, loving, and kind family to take care of Rufus. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond—even the whole family came out together during the initial meet and greet to meet him, which meant so much to us, and I had no doubts our dog was going to have the best time and be in such great care. Rufus was treated like one of their own, made fast friends with Amanda’s dog (a bigger win than one might realize!) , and absolutely loved having the space to run around and play. We were so grateful for all the updates and communication throughout his stay—it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Their flexibility was also such a gift during a busy time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Amanda again and recommending them 100% to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of Rufus!”
About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.
“Radka is THE BEST! She and her family clearly LOVE DOGS. I couldn’t ask for better care because Radka exceeded anything I could ever expect. My usually timid dog trotted on in comfortably and made herself at home. I really don’t think she wanted to leave when I came back to get her! I loved getting the photos and updates. I know, without a doubt, that she was in great hands with Radka and James.”
“Camille was awesome! She sent pictures everyday showing how Pepsi was doing, which I must say, he had a great time with her. She was super easy to work with, flexible and understanding. I strongly recommend Camille for her service. I’m confident that once you work with her, you will become a permanent customer to her. Thank you for your great service, Camille!”
