“I cant say enough good things about Myrna. She took exceptional care of my senior pup and went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable, and loved during his stay. My dog has some incontinence issues and can be very attached to his people. Myrna was incredibly understanding, accomidating, and patient with his special needs. Thank you!”
“Second time using Miguel’s services it won’t be the last, it is clear my two pups feel very comfortable around him and his family - the communication while they are with him is top tier, and as someone who last minute changes timeframes for pick up and drop off he is very flexible which I appreciate. I will certainly be using his services again, Thank you Míguel!”
“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“My dog had an amazing time with Michelle and Milo - She liked it so much it seemed she didn’t want to leave! Seriously, Michelle took great care of my girl and made sure all of her needs were taken care of.”
“I was so impressed with Matt! He sent updates and pics of my pups and they had a wonderful visit with him. We will definitely be booking with him whenever we stay in Richmond.”
“Stacey was the ultimate sitter and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Rover! She scheduled time for our dogs to meet in a public area first followed by a tour of her home and yard where Sebastian would be staying. I received photos of how much fun he was having while on my trip, and to be honest I bet he's looking forward to his next stay, what with having a four legged buddy and a wrap-around, fenced-in yard for unlimited zoomies. I can't recommend Stacey enough and will be sticking with her whenever it suits going forward.”
“Working with Jay was an awesome experience. She is very friendly and super accommodating. She sent us photos throughout my Henri’s stay. Jay’s active communication ensured peace of mind during our vacation. I definitely recommend her services, and look forward to booking with her again in the future!”
“We have just returned from a month long vacation for us and one for our dog Chance with Shay & Jay. He had a wonderful experience with the whole family. He was happy and very well cared for while enjoying long walks, adventures and snuggles. Afraid of loud noises, Chance was given extra love over the 4th of July and during thunder storms. Sending frequent photos and adventure updates kept our minds at ease. We could tell he was so happy I worried he would not want to leave! We highly recommend Shay & Jay as care givers of your special dog no matter how long the visit. We definitely will use them in the future.”
About: For the last 5 years, I've been volunteering care for a herd of goats on Gillie's Creek Park. I am also the primary farm sitter for several friends' homesteads and a frequent pet sitter for friends and acquaintances. I have a broad range of experience: handling elderly animal care, newborn feeding/monitoring, pet anxiety, unique medication/feeding schedules, and general care for most farm/domesticated animals. I have a deep love for animals and their welfare with a desire to assist you and your pet in any way possible. I'm currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. Typically not away from home for more than 3 hours at a time during marked available hours. My schedule can be adjustable if coordinating in advance. If caring in your home, I ensure that all items are back where they were originally left and that all feeding bowls and areas accessed are cleaned and organized. My home has a fenced-in yard, plenty of plants, natural lighting, and no other pets to contend for attention or food.
“Yolanda was AMAZING! She provided lots of videos and pictures of our baby and took great care of him! She will definitely be our sitter when visiting home! We didn’t worry a bit about our baby while in her care. Also very communicative! To top of it off she gave us a very cute thank you card🥰”
“I was able to enjoy a glorious long weekend because I knew my two dogs were happy and spoiled with Emily. Both my dogs (age 7 & 6) had NEVER been boarded or kenneled before, so I was nervous that they'd be anxious and upset, but they came home absolutely happy and contented after staying with her. She was kind enough to provide twice-daily feedback about their walks, sleep schedule, and general wellbeing, and that helped me relax and enjoy myself. My dogs sleep on the bed at home, and I chose Emily because she was going to be with them at night and because she has so many repeat customers; that tells me all I need to know! Emily is worth her weight in gold. Luka and Teddy had a safe and happy get-away of their own. Thanks so much, Emily!”
“Callie took great care of Chachi on his first boarding! Chachi is a new adoption for me and has been through a LOT of changes lately. She was very attentive and patient with him and he loved hanging out with Barry! I have already booked Chachi’s next stay with Callie again. 😊 Thank you, Callie!!”
“Aaren and Jordan are absolutely amazing, phenomenal pet sitters! From the moment I left Arya in their care, I knew she was in loving and patient hands. They treated her like family, and that meant everything to me while I was away. Their communication was top-tier—they kept me updated consistently with messages and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of that, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Arya truly found her second home with them, and there’s no doubt they are now her permanent sitters. I appreciate them more than words can express and can’t thank them enough for the love and care they showed my big girl. 💕🐾”
“Kyndra is truly exceptional! She doesn’t just provide dog care she creates a warm, loving environment where pets feel safe and happy. From the detailed updates and videos to the genuine kindness she showed A’mora, I could tell she treats every pet as if they were her own. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and heartfelt dedication made the entire experience seamless and reassuring. Finding someone so trustworthy and compassionate is rare, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking for top notch pet care.”
“I am beyond thankful for the care Hillary provided my dog with this weekend. I was feeling nervious about leaving my baby somewhere new but he had a great time and I received pictures throughout his stay. I will absolutely book Hillary again and I know rocky will enjoy more sunbathing and yard chases next time! Thank you, Hillary.”

“Heather was very responsive and communicative. She took great care of our cat, followed all our instructions and is the first pet-sitter he came out for. She was very respectful of our house. We would definitely rebook with Heather again!”
“Nick was great with our little June! We had a lovely meet & greet ahead of time before our trip. He was always responsive and asked good questions before hand and throughout. We’re super appreciative of his flexibility over a holiday too! Thanks for everything Nick :)”
“Elijah was wonderful with our 3 cats, even our little blind kitten who can be skittish around strangers. He sent us updates each day and pictures of the cats playing or cuddling with him. I would recommend Elijah for your pets! He was easy to communicate with and very responsive to messages.”
“This was our first time working with Taylor and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future! She was respectful of our cats (who aren’t friendly), communicative, and timely. We were very pleased with our experience!!!”
“Danyelle was amazing with our indoor and outdoor cats, she sent a lot of pictures and details about each visit. I would recommend Danyelle to others and will be booking her for pet sitting again!”
“Kind, attentive to my cats needs, and went out of her way when it came to keeping my apartment safe! I had such a good experience with her, she made my senior boy comfortable even though he usually hides every time I've ever had sitters over. Will definitely use her services the next time I go out of town!”
“Ash was so great! Going above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was taken care of! She communicated well with us and made sure our pet was loved! She really took the extra time to make sure our pet was safe and happy while we were on vacation. We could not recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs as long as I can remember and have had a significant part in their care for about 10 years. The last 4 years I’ve been the primary caregiver for my pets. Since I was a teenager I’ve been the designated pet and house sitter for friends and family! I currently work full time but work from home two days per week. My mornings before work and evenings after work are dedicated to the pups. If necessary I am able to take a long lunch for some extra pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard where my friendly pups love to play and a puppy proofed home. Pets are welcome anywhere people are allowed, including furniture. My 2 dachshunds are super outgoing with other dogs and can keep up with big dogs! In a client’s home I will take into account any of the house rules of the pet parents.

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”
“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”
“My kitties, guineas, and I love Katie! She’s a very sweet, dedicated, professional caretaker. It’s awesome not having to worry about my fur babies while I’m away for work and she’s always incredibly responsive and polite! Would give more than five stars if I could!!”
“Jazmine is a thoughtful and kind pet sitter. Our cat Cheese, who is usually very shy, absolutely loves when she comes over to check on him. Highly recommend Jazmine to anyone looking for a pet sitter who cares for your animals as you would!”
“Holland was great! My cat seemed happy us usual when I got back from my trip, and Holland was great about sending me pictures and videos. She came when she said she would and she sent me videos of how she played with him to assure he was getting his energy out! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will definitely look to use her again!”
About: My daughter and I have been doing Rover together for years. This summer, she is home from school at UVA and excited to help out with additional tasks like dog walking and house sitting! We have both had dogs our entire lives, all sizes and life stages. We began Rover in 2019 after losing our 10 yr old black lab to diabetes, looking to keep our home lively. We are both excited to meet your pets and help out! I work from home and will be with your best friend all day long. I am up early for my morning walk and would love the company of your dog! I live in a great dog friendly community, we have lots of great green space and multiple dog parks within walking distance! Would happily spend the day with your dog at the dog park if that is a good place for them.
“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about Miguel and his wife! They took amazing care of my fur baby, Church, for the past three days, and the experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment we met, Miguel made sure that Church felt comfortable and safe, even introducing him to their own dog to help them get along. His understanding of dog language, especially with big dogs like mine, is truly impressive. Miguel and his wife are such pleasant, caring people. They kept me informed every step of the way, sending updates and even videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They’re incredibly accommodating, even fitting us in on short notice, which I really appreciated. Church came back home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. I could tell he had a great time because he’s been so content and relaxed. I’m beyond grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and the genuine care they showed my dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and amazing with dogs, Miguel and his wife are the best choice. Thank you both so much! How does that look?

“Joyce is great! She takes care of my dog Banana on a daily basis while I’m at work & is constantly working with my crazy sales schedule. Joyce takes great care of Banana, making sure she’s fed twice a day, has pleeenty of potty breaks & all the love & affection she could ask for! She even sends me daily pictures of my old pup throughout the day, which always cheers me up! 10/10, would recommend 😊”

About: Lifetime lover of furry animal friends - adopting my puggle and in turn, her puppy sister/bff the Norfolk Terrier were easily the two best decisions I ever made. You can rest assured that your doggies are safe, comfortable and pawtying down with me by their side. My girls have warm blankets waiting in the dryer when we come in from cold walks. I believe in going a few extra miles to truly spoil our fur ball angel nuggets bc why not? Being greeted by them when you walk through the door is the best thing ever and I have been caring for animals the majority of my life. This is the most rewarding, satisfying and not to mention FUN "job" of all time, pick me
“We’ve had Peyton care for our horses, cats and dogs for years, long before she joined River. Never had a problem and she’s always provided a secure, loving caring and healthy environment for our pets and animals. She adores animals, and is very knowledgeable in their care and training.”
About: With 20 years hands-on experience caring for animals, I am your go-to pet sitter and walker that resides in the charming downtown Richmond neighborhood of Church Hill. My passion for animals shines through in every interaction, whether is a playful game of catch or a relaxing cuddle session. Living in Church Hill, I’m intimately familiar with all the local parks, trails and pet-friendly spots in Richmond and the surrounding areas. I’m available to come to you or can host your furry friend. My top-notch’ care includes regular updates including pictures to give you peace of mind and ensuring that your beloved family members are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. When I’m not busy caring for your pets, you can find me playing a game of keep away or snuggled up with my own Cocker Spaniel named Hagrid. We like to explore and travel when we aren’t hosting new friends. Mostly recently, we enjoyed visiting our furry friend Ajax with his family of cats and humans in Vermont. If you’re looking a reliable, compassionate and experienced sitter/walker, please reach out! I’m a business consultant who works from home. I make my own schedule and have flexible hours throughout the week/weekends that makes hosting/sitting or walking easy. I have a fenced in backyard and one friendly cocker spaniel who can keep your baby busy. I can easily crate if that is what you desire, but they can play together through out the day and have multiple outside breaks/walks
About: It takes a village to keep your baby safe! With me, they’re in good hands! I’m a former veterinary technician with lifelong animal care & experience. Dogs are family & their comfort & safety come first. I regularly pray over all pets in my care for their protection. Whether your baby needs medication, extra patience, or just lots of belly rubs, I’m here to provide. I’m confident with senior dogs, special needs pets, and all kinds of temperaments. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing that your fur child is in experienced, caring hands. I also do brushing, massages, baths & nail trims (upon request). Whether it is daytime or overnight, I would love for your baby to spend time with me & my family in our safe, calm, pet-friendly, fun, welcoming environment. Pets are family & they deserve nothing but the best love & care! Safety & care are top-priorities at the Pampered Pup Palace! I have a large fenced in yard and 2 fur babies of my own to keep your baby company (one small chihuahua-mix & one small senior cat). My dog-child makes the perfect play-buddy because he is a very silly, interactive & playful pup.
“Great with my little one she is old and spoiled Chihuahua and she just keeps getting spoiled. Loves the yard to run in and play with the bigger dogs sometimes. But the best part is she is worn out by the time we get home. And they are so flexible with my crazy schedule.”
“Jasmine was great with our little puppy Bear! We had something come up last minute and she was available to take care of him at her house. Jasmine sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and Bear came home a happy sleepy pup! Will definitely be using Jasmine’s services again in the future!”
About: I've loved dogs for the longest time and ever since I've had my own, you quickly realize they are more than a pet, they are family. My dog and I will treat your dog just like family during their visit. I succeeded well in training my dog on my own from house training, to off leash, to playing hide and seek, and I understand the important component of upholding and instilling any of your training while you're not present. As of June 30th, I no longer work remotely, but work very close to home. I still will have plenty of time to give your pup comfort and attention throughout the day. I am available most weekdays and weekends, but may become more limited depending on the season. I have 1 dog, a small Yorkshire Terrier who is known as Mr. President because he loves to greet and befriend each pet or person he sees, no matter the size. He is super friendly and playful and would love to be a great friend and playmate with your pup. I can easily crate your dog if needed with one you provide or with one of my own crates or expandale play pens. My yard is open, but there is plenty of space for fun. I enjoy long walks, so if your pup needs to get in multiple miles, I can make that happen. I have a multi level townhome. Dogs are allowed anywhere in the home except for the kitchen. If your dog loves the outdoors, i have a small deck and a small enclosed front balcony they can hang on. There are plenty of toys and puzzles, but you are of course welcome to provide their favorite toy.
“Matt is fantastic. My dog Ru loves going to his house so much that she sprints to his front door and will not look back for me at all. She has a great time with him and when I pick her up she is happy and tired in the best way. He clearly has a great understanding of dogs and is very professional and communicative. I feel completely confident leaving my girl there and I know she has the absolute best care.”

“Michelle took good care of my pup. Her dog Milo is a sweetie. She has a nice yard for them to play in and my dog also enjoyed relaxing by her side on the couch.”
About: Caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have owned cats and dogs, walked dogs during college, volunteered at a shelter, and have experience across different life stages and breeds. I can read body language to know when a pet wants company and when they need space. When caring for pets I prioritize following the pet's specific routine and needs. This includes adhering to feeding schedules, ensuring fresh water is always available, and adjusting meals for any dietary restrictions. I provide regular exercise and playtime while keeping the environment safe and pet-proofed. I monitor for signs of illness, can administer medications if necessary, and maintain cleanliness, like cleaning litter boxes and brushing fur. I offer comfort and affection for each pet, creating a calm space for relaxation, especially for pets with separation anxiety, to ensure their well-being. I work from home so your pet will have companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I can easily integrate feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions into my schedule. Whether it's letting pets out for bathroom breaks, refreshing water bowls, or simply being there to offer comfort and companionship, I can provide pets with consistent care and attention all day long. My flexible routine also means I can adapt to each pet's specific needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the household. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comforting environment. I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed, keep routines consistent, and supervise pets closely to prevent accidents or stress. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm space. While in a client's home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions closely, and keep their home secure. I build trust through consistent communication, photo updates, and gentle, attentive care.
“Callie is amazing, a real life saver. I reached out last minute and she reached back right away! Has lots of cool toys that her kind dog shares with my pupper. Def leaves me with a peace of mind when I drop off with Callie. Dont hesitate to book! 😊”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!
About: As a child, I had a small dog named Nike! She was the cutest little Shih Tzu. Having her at a young age taught me responsibility first and foremost, but it also taught me how to appreciate and be patient with animals. I have fond memories of walking her around the neighborhood, being sure she had food and plenty of water in her bowls, and running around with her outside! She also got ENDLESS cuddle time. She was my first best friend, and although she’s not here with me in my adult years, I’ve come to love and value ALL animals, from playful cats, to everyday animals like squirrels and birds, lol. I’m a college student, graduating in the fall next year, and I have many breaks where I’m home. When home, I am fully available everyday, anytime to care for pets! I follow instructions EXACTLY as they’re given to me. Special instructions? No problem! Dinner time at 6? Done and done. I’ll be sure your fur baby has plenty of play time and cuddles as well! Rest assured knowing they’re in good hands!
“I could not recommend Stacey enough! She is so responsive and accommodating. I feel comfortable anytime I have her walk my dog, Sadie. Sadie also loves when Stacey comes to walk her which gives me a lot of peace knowing she is comfortable while I am out of the house!”
“Conrad stepped in at our late notice and took fantastic care of our two dogs! They were staying with a sitter who could not walk them, and Conrad came to the rescue with walking them for a full hour every day, reliably and on-time! He communicates really well, is really responsible, and clearly has experience with dogs. One of my dogs is also dog-reactive, and Conrad knew just how to manage any reactive signs on walks and keeps distance from other animals. He listens well to instructions and is just a great dude. I’m happily looking to making him our regular go-to pet sitter and walker whenever we need support!”
“Kayley has been so patient and sweet to my Ellie, even when Ellie hasn’t been the sweetest to her. She makes sure the pups are as comfy and happy as can be!”
“Chynna took great care of my Junie while I was away. She followed all instructions, sent me lots of photos, and kept me informed on how Junie was doing on their walks. I will definitely be using Chynna again for any dog sitting needs!”

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy puppies to senior sweethearts, I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm comfortable with administering medication, handling special dietary needs, and giving extra gentle care to shy and anxious pets. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'm tidy, respectful, and will make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their own space. You can count on me for prompt communication, regular updates, and lots of pictures! Let's set up a meet-and-greet! I'm currently out of school for the summer, so I have plenty of time on weekdays and weekends to care for your pets! I go back to school mid-August and will continue taking on gigs on the weekends then. I'm very tidy and respectful and you can trust me to take care of your pet in your home in a safe and gentle way.

“I cant say enough good things about Myrna. She took exceptional care of my senior pup and went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable, and loved during his stay. My dog has some incontinence issues and can be very attached to his people. Myrna was incredibly understanding, accomidating, and patient with his special needs. Thank you!”
“Second time using Miguel’s services it won’t be the last, it is clear my two pups feel very comfortable around him and his family - the communication while they are with him is top tier, and as someone who last minute changes timeframes for pick up and drop off he is very flexible which I appreciate. I will certainly be using his services again, Thank you Míguel!”
“I was so impressed with Matt! He sent updates and pics of my pups and they had a wonderful visit with him. We will definitely be booking with him whenever we stay in Richmond.”
“Stacey was the ultimate sitter and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Rover! She scheduled time for our dogs to meet in a public area first followed by a tour of her home and yard where Sebastian would be staying. I received photos of how much fun he was having while on my trip, and to be honest I bet he's looking forward to his next stay, what with having a four legged buddy and a wrap-around, fenced-in yard for unlimited zoomies. I can't recommend Stacey enough and will be sticking with her whenever it suits going forward.”
“We have just returned from a month long vacation for us and one for our dog Chance with Shay & Jay. He had a wonderful experience with the whole family. He was happy and very well cared for while enjoying long walks, adventures and snuggles. Afraid of loud noises, Chance was given extra love over the 4th of July and during thunder storms. Sending frequent photos and adventure updates kept our minds at ease. We could tell he was so happy I worried he would not want to leave! We highly recommend Shay & Jay as care givers of your special dog no matter how long the visit. We definitely will use them in the future.”
About: For the last 5 years, I've been volunteering care for a herd of goats on Gillie's Creek Park. I am also the primary farm sitter for several friends' homesteads and a frequent pet sitter for friends and acquaintances. I have a broad range of experience: handling elderly animal care, newborn feeding/monitoring, pet anxiety, unique medication/feeding schedules, and general care for most farm/domesticated animals. I have a deep love for animals and their welfare with a desire to assist you and your pet in any way possible. I'm currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. Typically not away from home for more than 3 hours at a time during marked available hours. My schedule can be adjustable if coordinating in advance. If caring in your home, I ensure that all items are back where they were originally left and that all feeding bowls and areas accessed are cleaned and organized. My home has a fenced-in yard, plenty of plants, natural lighting, and no other pets to contend for attention or food.
“I was able to enjoy a glorious long weekend because I knew my two dogs were happy and spoiled with Emily. Both my dogs (age 7 & 6) had NEVER been boarded or kenneled before, so I was nervous that they'd be anxious and upset, but they came home absolutely happy and contented after staying with her. She was kind enough to provide twice-daily feedback about their walks, sleep schedule, and general wellbeing, and that helped me relax and enjoy myself. My dogs sleep on the bed at home, and I chose Emily because she was going to be with them at night and because she has so many repeat customers; that tells me all I need to know! Emily is worth her weight in gold. Luka and Teddy had a safe and happy get-away of their own. Thanks so much, Emily!”
“Callie took great care of Chachi on his first boarding! Chachi is a new adoption for me and has been through a LOT of changes lately. She was very attentive and patient with him and he loved hanging out with Barry! I have already booked Chachi’s next stay with Callie again. 😊 Thank you, Callie!!”
“Aaren and Jordan are absolutely amazing, phenomenal pet sitters! From the moment I left Arya in their care, I knew she was in loving and patient hands. They treated her like family, and that meant everything to me while I was away. Their communication was top-tier—they kept me updated consistently with messages and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of that, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Arya truly found her second home with them, and there’s no doubt they are now her permanent sitters. I appreciate them more than words can express and can’t thank them enough for the love and care they showed my big girl. 💕🐾”
“I am beyond thankful for the care Hillary provided my dog with this weekend. I was feeling nervious about leaving my baby somewhere new but he had a great time and I received pictures throughout his stay. I will absolutely book Hillary again and I know rocky will enjoy more sunbathing and yard chases next time! Thank you, Hillary.”
“Abby was super awesome. We did one overnight and our pup was well taken care of and was returned to us happy! She was really flexible on pick up and drop off times which is always helpful. We will definitely be coming back, thanks Abby!”
“My pom pom loves it there,loves the attention and playtime. I literally had to drag her away and pick my pom up. I choose to just use her,if she’s available.”
“Had a great experience working with Deven and Tyreek! They took great care of our dog and provided excellent daily updates. He looked very happy in all his pics!”
“Thank you so much to Le’Quitta and her family for taking such great care of Boss ☺️ She kept me updated with pictures and communicated well. Will definitely be rebooking! We knew he had a good time when he slept the majority of the day when we got him home❤️ Thanks again!!!”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“We were worried chewy wouldn’t want to come home! Ava and Ross are definitely dog whisperers. He had a great time and they sent lots of good photos. We felt he was in safe hands.”
