“John was such a wonderful host. Our dogs are friendly but very energetic and he was gracious and sweet with them. He walked them multiple times a day, gave them toys, and sent photos to check in with us each day. I would definitely have my dogs stay with him again and will do so next time we are in town!”
“Jody took amazing care of our boy Sam while we were gone! Sam is not the easiest dog in the world to care for, he has extra medical and anxiety needs, and Jody didn't hesitate to take him on. She provided ample daily updates, sent pictures and videos, and communicated promptly any time we reached out for an update. Thank you, Jody! The Fultz Family and Sam appreciate you!”
“Candace was a great sitter! Her parents were helpful as well. Cassie was in good hands and was well taken care of. We were so thankful they accommodated us picking up Cassie after our evening flight.”
“Theresa took excellent care of Lucy. Very happy with our experience and would totally have our dog stay there again. She was enthusiastic of a meet in greet, wanted to learn about our dog, accommodated refrigerated food, very communicative throughout the stay, and Lucy seemed very happy there! Thanks so much, Theresa!”
“Im so glad we were able to find Cheyanne last minute! Our 6 month old doodle mix loved her pups and had a blast. She sent great updates with pictures and I know my pup was well taken care of!”
“I really felt like Enzo was being taken care of the whole time I was gone. Emily was very kind and flexible with my schedule. I even got some really good professional grade pictures from her of Enzo! All around great experience.”

“We were in Callaway, VA for a wedding and we left our pup with Maribel and her family for the day while we attended the event. Leading up to our trip, Maribel put me at ease with fast and professional communication and flexibility when our drop-off time changed. During the visit, Maribel shared awesome pictures of our pooch in action. Upon pickup, pup was all smiles and tail wags. It is evident that Maribel and her family treat your pet like their own during boarding. We were able to attend the wedding worry-free, knowing that Dante was in great hands. I HIGHLY recommend Maribel for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I'm an active volunteer with a local animal shelter, where I work hands-on with dogs of many ages, sizes, temperaments, I have experience caring for shy, anxious, high-energy, and sensitive dogs, and I'm comfortable with reading canine body language, building trust, and providing calm, reliable care tailored to each dog's needs. Pet care is part of my regular routine through weekend availability when I'm off work. I plan my schedule around providing attentive, consistent care, including walks, feeding, enrichment and companionship, so each dog receives focused, unhurried attention. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and preferred activities. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, by moving at their pace and reading their body language. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm, attentive interaction, whether that means exercise and playtime or quiet companionship. In a client's home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“I’m tremendously excited because I have found my fur baby an excellent sitter. Kari has been a heaven sent. It was during an emergency that I found her listed here on Rover. She created a wonderful atmosphere to care for my fur baby while I was away. She followed all my instructions and even sent a photo during his stay. He was a happy bean when I returned to pick him up. I love it, I’ll definitely keep her in mind for my next getaway.”

“Kimberly was absolutely phenomenal and so kind! Our senior fur baby has a lot of extra needs, so we’ve always put date days aside to ensure we wouldn’t have to leave her home alone. From the first text interaction with Kimberly to meeting in person - we knew that we found someone we could trust! We got picture updates throughout the day, and each care instruction we provided was taken very serious. We will definitely be trusting Kimberly with our fur baby in the future. Thank you SO much!”

“Both Taylor and Jessica are super nice people and very accommodating. We used their services for our dog and they kept her for us while we were out of town. We would definitely use them again!”
“Penny and Evan were great with our little “high anxiety” fur baby. During the “meet and greet” Penny had us come in and take him straight to the fenced back yard where he could sniff around and go to the bathroom. Knowing about his anxiety, once we went back inside, Penny never tried to pet him, she just allowed him to get used to her being in the room. She was a very calming presence for him. Evan likewise was patient with him and allowed him the time it took to settle and get comfortable. We are thrilled to have found Penny and Even and the bonus is that they live about 4 minutes from our house! We have already booked the next daycare appointment!”

“John was such a wonderful host. Our dogs are friendly but very energetic and he was gracious and sweet with them. He walked them multiple times a day, gave them toys, and sent photos to check in with us each day. I would definitely have my dogs stay with him again and will do so next time we are in town!”
“Jody took amazing care of our boy Sam while we were gone! Sam is not the easiest dog in the world to care for, he has extra medical and anxiety needs, and Jody didn't hesitate to take him on. She provided ample daily updates, sent pictures and videos, and communicated promptly any time we reached out for an update. Thank you, Jody! The Fultz Family and Sam appreciate you!”
“Candace was a great sitter! Her parents were helpful as well. Cassie was in good hands and was well taken care of. We were so thankful they accommodated us picking up Cassie after our evening flight.”
“Theresa took excellent care of Lucy. Very happy with our experience and would totally have our dog stay there again. She was enthusiastic of a meet in greet, wanted to learn about our dog, accommodated refrigerated food, very communicative throughout the stay, and Lucy seemed very happy there! Thanks so much, Theresa!”
“Im so glad we were able to find Cheyanne last minute! Our 6 month old doodle mix loved her pups and had a blast. She sent great updates with pictures and I know my pup was well taken care of!”
“So grateful for Tiffany! She took wonderful care of our puppy for us and we had such a peace of mind knowing that she was loved on and cared for! We will be back!”
“We were in Callaway, VA for a wedding and we left our pup with Maribel and her family for the day while we attended the event. Leading up to our trip, Maribel put me at ease with fast and professional communication and flexibility when our drop-off time changed. During the visit, Maribel shared awesome pictures of our pooch in action. Upon pickup, pup was all smiles and tail wags. It is evident that Maribel and her family treat your pet like their own during boarding. We were able to attend the wedding worry-free, knowing that Dante was in great hands. I HIGHLY recommend Maribel for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I'm an active volunteer with a local animal shelter, where I work hands-on with dogs of many ages, sizes, temperaments, I have experience caring for shy, anxious, high-energy, and sensitive dogs, and I'm comfortable with reading canine body language, building trust, and providing calm, reliable care tailored to each dog's needs. Pet care is part of my regular routine through weekend availability when I'm off work. I plan my schedule around providing attentive, consistent care, including walks, feeding, enrichment and companionship, so each dog receives focused, unhurried attention. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and preferred activities. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, by moving at their pace and reading their body language. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm, attentive interaction, whether that means exercise and playtime or quiet companionship. In a client's home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
About: The benefits of dogs swimming are tremendous! Whether it's releasing energy in younger pups or offering joint pain relief in seniors, I am excited to offer dog swimming as a service in my outdoor pool. This service includes pickup/drop-off, a half an hour swim with life jacket, one on one swim coaching, picture and/or video of your pup and a post swim shower. This service is listed under Doggy Day Care for $100. Feel free to message me with any questions or set up a meet and greet at your house. I have completed training as a dog groom technician and work part time at a local grooming salon. I have experience in handling dogs of any age, especially seniors. I understand the extra care and attention senior pups should have. I also love the energy in younger pups and embrace the opportunity to provide them with effective, yet enjoyable exercise. In addition to walking dogs, I am also a trained dog groomer technician. This allows me flexibility to accommodate various scheduling needs. Feel free to message me with any questions regarding scheduling or availability. The safety of your pet is my first priority. I will only take on one client per visit and will only handle two or more dogs if they live in the same home.
