“My dog, Teddy, absolutely loved staying with Savannah H and family! As soon as we arrived on the farm, Teddy didn’t turn back - he loved the environment and was ready to meet new friends. Savannah sent pictures so I knew that he was having fun and doing well. I was actually sad for Teddy that his stay was only for one night! I highly recommend Savannah H as she’s super kind and loves all animals!”
“Teona and Louelyn are the best!! Our dog is blind and needs extra care. They made sure he became familiar with his surroundings and knew where his bowls were located. I especially loved the photos and videos that were sent during the day showing how happy he was. We had full confidence in their caregiving. Would definitely recommend!”
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Amanda and Scott. They are truly caring dog-lovers, and we are grateful that we can travel with confidence, knowing that Pip will be well cared for❤️”
“Paul & Terri took such good care of our dog, and communicated frequently and sent many pictures too. He was able to go outside frequently which makes him very happy.”
“This was my wife and I's first time using Rover, so naturally there was a bit of hesitation when it came to leaving our 6 month old Beagle with someone we did not know. HOWEVER, we felt completely comfortable leaving our pup with Stephanie. First off, we decided to use Rover the night before we needed someone to watch our dog, and Stephanie responded to us promptly making it a breeze to schedule care for Charlie. She was very thorough in making sure she knew everything about him- his eating schedule, walking schedule, bathroom schedule, and even wanted to know where we kept him in his crate at night so she could help him feel close to home as possible. All in all, we are happy we chose Stephanie to watch our dog, and we will gladly choose her again in the future.”
“Lyra and Scott were great with Millie! I booked this stay kind of late as I made last minute travel plans, and they were very accommodating to my flight schedule! They sent updates daily and included photos. I could tell Millie was having fun with their family. I know Millie will be very happy to go back there!”
“Jenn is wonderful. My dog was a member of the family. It was like being at Doggy Camp. She sent photos and kept me informed on Buddy and his stay. I will use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Jay is the absolute BEST! My pup loves staying with her and gets excited each time he gets to see her! She takes care of him like he’s her own, and shares pictures and updates with me everyday. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else!”
“Our Dixie had a wonderful stay with Shania and her family. We were sent pictures and updates during Dixie’s stay. She was well taken care of and we will definitely be planning another stay with Shania.”
“Jared was exceptional. He and his daughter took in our two golden retrievers as their own and I think that’s all we can ask for as a pet parent. I would highly recommend anyone staying in the Williamsburg choose Jared as your pet sitter. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Victoria took such good care of our pup when we were gone for a 10 day vacation. He was happy to play with the other dogs and loved being able to roam the house and lounge on the couch. Victoria will be our go-to when we go on vacation moving forward. You can rest assured that your pup will be in great hands if she's the sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Love Ms. Crystal. Elsa did so good for her. Side sent plenty pictures to keep me informed and I couldn’t be more thankful to know my baby was in great hands. Thank you again. Will be using her services again in the future.”
“What a God send! Janeen is such a kind and caring individual with obvious patience and compassion. She asked all kinds of follow up questions to make sure kitty would be as comfortable as possible in his home away from home. Janeen was very communicative and sent pictures and videos throughout the day every day. The family even moved some items around to allow kitty to climb on and around freely. I wish I lived closer to this wonderful family as I would 100% use their services again. They were thoughtfully accommodating knowing we were already away from home on vacation and even made some suggestions for local activities my family and I could visit. Do not scroll pass this couples profile I highly recommend this home for your pet baby needs.”
“Gretchen was awesome! She took care of our puppy and shared photos daily. She asked all the right questions prior to the drop-off and was super friendly. I would definitely recommend her to others and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“Allison is confident and understanding when handling our dog reactive pittie. He really enjoyed his stay with her and I had peace of mind knowing we could leave him with someone as knowledgable as her in dog behavior, that also understands his needs for attention and comfort. We're new to Virginia and so relieved to have found her!”
About: Welcome to our home! We’re a fun, loving family with two elementary-aged kids and our friendly Bernedoodle, who loves having furry friends around. Our family has been used to having furry friends for a long time. I’m a teacher and my husband is a travel soccer club director, so our home is active, family-oriented, and full of love. We’re used to busy days, lots of playtime, walks, and plenty of attention! Our Bernedoodle is playful, social, and loves making new friends. We’d love to welcome your pup into our family while they’re with us and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We enjoy getting outside for walks and playtime and are happy to keep your dog on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or enjoys a more relaxed pace, we’ll give them the care and attention they need. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. Our goal is for every dog who stays with us to have a happy, safe, and fun stay!🐶❤️ A Typical Day in Our Home 🐾 Our home has a nice balance of structure, activity, and plenty of attention for our four-legged guests. I’m a full-time teacher, so I’m at work during the school day, but I’m home after school and have afternoons and evenings to spend with the dogs. My husband has a flexible schedule and typically doesn’t start work until around 10:00 AM and is home by about 3:00 PM. This means your pup won’t be alone for long stretches of time, and there is someone around during much of the day. Our mornings are busy with getting the kids ready for school, but we make time for potty breaks, breakfast, and some attention before everyone heads out. Once the kids are home from school, things become more active! We enjoy walks, outdoor play, and spending time together as a family. We live in the gated community of Fords Colony, so the walking paths for your pup are perfect and safe. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities to relax throughout the afternoon and evening. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, potty, and medication routines as closely as possible. Our goal is to make their stay feel comfortable, safe, and as much like home as possible!

“I could not recommend Lily & Philip more!! They’ve looked after my cat on three occasions now, ranging from 1-3 weeks each. The notes they provide are so informative and put my mind at ease, and the many photos they include make me smile and show me what a great time my boy is having with them. I fully trust them with my cat and in my home, and they will continue to be my go-to sitters in the future.”
About: I have had cats my entire life and have extensive experience caring for them through all stages of life. Growing up with cats taught me the importance of understanding their individual personalities, routines, and needs. In my adult life, I have had two cats of my own. One of them I raised from a kitten and cared for throughout his entire life until he was 13 years old. This experience gave me firsthand knowledge of kitten care, adult cat care, and the special attention and support senior cats need as they age. I am comfortable with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications when needed, and providing companionship while respecting each cat's unique temperament. Having lived with and cared for cats my whole life, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them.
“We just had Katy for her first visits to our home for my two cats, Hobbes and Fuzzle. She did a great job, we got consistent communication from her, and she was truly a pleasure to work with. I didn't worry about a thing while we were gone, and I highly recommend her sitter services!”
“Ashton was awesome. She is very personable and easy to communicate with. We got notes and pictures from her daily. Our one cat hid most of the time, but she found him or monitored food. The other two decided that she is the best thing ever! While we were gone, we had a tree come down at thw top of our very long driveway. Ashton willingly walked in from the top and took care of them. Will absolutely have her back again.”
About: I am open to caring for any and all pets. As someone who currently has 3 Great Pyrenees, an Austrian Kelpie puppy, and other pets, I am experienced in all areas and types. I have open availability to care for pets. I work for myself so build my schedule around jobs and appointments as needed. I am very flexible with accommodations so please reach out if you have any questions. I do not offer overnight in home care at the moment due to all of my pets at home but will gladly stay at your home with your pet. I can send pictures and videos of your pet to you and don't mind cameras in the home so you can drop in any time and see your fur and/or scaly baby.
“Midori was wonderful to our 2 cats. I was really nervous about leaving them for a few days, especially since one of our cats is very shy and easily scared. Midori sent pictures with every visit and managed to get a picture of my shy baby in his safe spot under the bed each time she was there. That eased my mind knowing he was ok. My other cat is more outgoing and Midori sent pictures of him playing with his favorite toy and waiting for her by the door. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Rachael was GREAT! She communicated with us throughout and gave our kitties all the love! I had such great peace and was able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good care!”
About: I have hands-on experience rescuing cats and administering medication. I’ve cared for cats in multiple homes, providing both pet sitting and house sitting. I’m attentive to their needs and comfortable cleaning litter boxes and maintaining a clean, safe environment.
“Chrissie has been absolutely amazing with my dog! She sends thorough descriptions of her visits, takes the best photos, and lets me know of any concerns promptly and efficiently! When Chrissie is with my dog, I know she is in the best hands! Chrissie is extremely reliable and trustworthy. We will continue to book with her :)”
“Victoria fell in love with my cats instantly and they warmed up to her so quickly, so I know they were cared for with much love while I was away! Communication was fast, seamless, and much appreciated.”
“Chelsea did a wonderful job! She was greeted with a puke mess on the carpet to clean up. So sorry about that! Sienna did well--as much as she does when I'm gone. I'm sure she enjoyed getting out for a walk.”
About: I have experience with all animal types including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds, pocket pets and some reptiles. I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs and 3 cats, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your pets and their needs while you are working, vacationing, etc. I can care for pets early before work, mid-day and late after work. On weekends my schedule can be more flexible depending on what activities I have going on. Any dogs that come into my home will be treated as if they were my own.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with them, cared for and dog sat for over 15 years while being a nannny. I've had two dogs of my own as well. My family and I have recently lost our beloved pup and are desiring to spend time with yours to get all the dog snuggles and love we can! I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids. We are home daily and most weekends. We love for your sweet pup to hang with us during the day or stay with us during a vacation or long weekend away. We do not have a fenced in yard but have 2 acres of property that we would leash your dog and take for walks around the property. We had a dog in the past that had medication needs and special food needs so I accustomed to caring for dogs with special needs. We are also a couch/furniture friendly family if that is something that is important to you. We do have small children but both are use to dogs and love them! We also do not have a pet of our right currently and so your dog would definitely be the center of our attention.
“Becca is absolutely amazing with my dog Cali. She makes Cali feel right at home and treats her as if she is her own. I receive texts and pictures throughout the day which puts me at ease. I trust Becca with my dog Cali and highly recommend her!”
“Sandra was fantastic! We needed to leave our dog Samwise with somebody during an appointment because he gets separation anxiety in new places and she was flexible and very communicative.”
“Ellie G. is a great communicator with photo updates. The daycare day went well and Annie O was introduced to Ellie’s chickens and I’m sure she wanted to get a little closer but Ellie was great keeping Annie away from them. Annie also met Ellie’s dog and it appears that they both made a new friend. The day was a success.”
“Lyra and Scott (and their kids) are terrific! Our little Sushi clearly had a great time spending the day with them. Throughout the process they were friendly, accommodating and professional. Communication was great, both before and during Sushi’s stay. We were only in Williamsburg for a couple of days on a road trip. But when we come back this way, we will definitely ask them to hang out with Sushi again! Thank you so much, guys! 🐶❤️”
About: We were pet owners for over 17 years for our own fur babies. We cared for them from the time they were outrunning their own feet, all the way through old age. Our family will love on all ages of pets while you are away! Our family has a flexible schedule throughout the week. We have some daytime or evening activities but are generally home. We can accommodate pet care in our home or in areas around our home as part of our weekly routine. Let us know what you need and I'm sure we can accommodate. We can visit your home at various times so your pets can stay in the comfort of their own home. If they come to our place, we will integrate them into our routines and give them plenty of attention. Send us a message and we'll see what we can do!
About: I am a dog lover who has a mini Bernedoodle. I have had senior dogs and dogs with extensive medical needs. I am able to administer meds in any way shape or form and have done the off leash K9 training with two of my own dogs now, so am aware of some basic commands. My husband and I both work from home full time. We have a great back yard for your pet to run around in with our sweet boy Winston. I have one sweet young dog who would love an occasional dog visitor and playmate. I will treat your pet just like I do, which one may define as a bit on the spoiled side!
“Absolutely perfect first experience with rover. Maggie sets the bar high with a welcoming home environment. She know exactly what she is doing - let the dogs meet freely, run freely and he felt right at home. I was so nervous but knew right away he would be fine. She sent pics throughout the day for reassurance and to let me see my buddy. Thanks so much!”
About: We’re a dog-loving family with experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. We have two dogs of our own: a senior Lab/hound mix and a middle-aged Great Dane. We’re comfortable with everything from energetic playtime to older dogs who prefer a slower pace, and we’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routines, feeding schedule, and house rules. We both work hybrid schedules, so someone is home with the dogs most of the time. Dogs get regular outdoor breaks throughout the day and plenty of attention and interaction. We’re happy to accommodate dogs who need more activity as well as those who are content to relax and hang out with us. We have a large, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside and play. Our fence is approximately 3 feet high and made of hog wire, so we’re best suited for dogs who aren’t jumpers or determined escape artists. Our own dogs respect the boundary. We also have a dog-loving 4-year-old, so dogs must be comfortable and safe around children. Our dogs are friendly and accustomed to sharing their space with other dogs. At night, visiting dogs sleep downstairs on their own dog bed or one of our designated “dog couches.” Crate-trained dogs are welcome to use their crate if that is what makes them most comfortable.

All hours of the day including overnights. No need to worry just contact me. I have and breed dogs as well. Animals are always my first priority. They are treated as my own.

“Ashton is fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Bumi, and sent me plenty of photo and video updates while I was at work. Her communication was quick and she was able to look after Bumi twice on very short notice over a holiday weekend! He had a great time with her dog as well, and I know Bumi is always well taken care of when he's with her.”
“Ethel was great with our challenging Jack Russell. He is very anxious about being separated from his family but Ethel made him feel right at home. She made everything easier for all of us!”
About: I will take care of as if my own. I tend to get attached and fall in Love fast with furry friends. It’s actually called baby kitty syndrome. Like when you want to squeeze them so hard you will hurt them. Lol I need something to do with myself and make a little extra cash. I’ve lived with dogs, cats, birds, fish and rabbits all my life. I rescued 2 dogs, brother and sister, from the woods when they were 6wks old. They made it to be 16. I do have issues with my left leg/foot and lower back. So I won’t be able to lift more than 25lb max. I’m new to the area so this will help me to get out of my house and do something. I actually watch pets to get my fur baby fix and for a place to stay, specially when I travel. And im usually solo on my travels I will stay in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your fur babies. I will follow all your instructions and love them as my own
“This was the most amazing doggie vacation spot we could have ever dreamed for our 2 pups! Beautiful home and fenced in yard, well behaved doodle and little girl, Lana obviously loves pets and treated them just like they were her own! I cannot wait to go back to Williamsburg and visit and let the pups visit their home away from home again also!!!”
“Victor and Abigail were awesome and took extra steps to make sure our anxious pup had a great time. They sent us videos and pictures every day, which we really appreciated. After his first day in daycare, my dog was very excited to return on the following days. He seemed to really like the folks who took care of him and was nice and tired once I picked him up. Staying with these folks was definitely a mini vacation for my dog!”
“Christene H is hands down the best pet sitter I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. our dog Harpo adores her.... and her dear pooch Buster Moon is fondbof Harpo too. It is a relief to know they have a safe fenced-in back yard to romp in and a calm, steady family home to be a part of. Thank you to Christene and her family for welcoming our happy go lucky Mr. Marx (who rarely barks). Sincerely MS”

“This is a great team who really took care of our Dog walks for a week when we were unable to walk him. Courteous, on time, snd pleasant people. They quickly got to know Eddie’s quirks and behaviors. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 7 years old, and my love for pets has only grown over the years. As an adult, I worked at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I have also adopted and cared for three dogs of my own throughout every stage of their lives, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience, attention, and specialized care. This experience has given me a strong understanding of daily pet care, administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing the love and comfort pets need to feel safe and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention due to age or special needs, I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while you're away. I am currently in between jobs, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide your pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether your furry family member enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I can tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, I understand how important it is to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care, I am committed to treating every animal as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced backyard with a 5-foot chain-link fence, providing a safe and secure space for your pet to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. I do not have neighbors directly adjacent to my yard, so there is minimal concern about pets being distracted or stressed by animals on the other side of the fence. I am a lifelong animal lover and currently share my home with a senior dog, whom I've raised since she was 8 weeks old, and a young cat who has been part of our family since he was 8 weeks old as well. Having cared for pets through every stage of life—from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention—I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. When your pet stays with me, they will be treated like a member of the family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home while you're away. I personally allow my pets on the furniture, but I fully respect each owner's preferences. If your pet has specific rules, routines, feeding schedules, medication needs, or restrictions, just let me know and I will be happy to follow them to ensure consistency and comfort during their stay. I believe communication is important, so I am also happy to provide updates, photos, and messages while your pet is in my care, giving you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well loved.
“Gave lots of feedback and answered all of my questions while gone. Oliver warmed up to her over the weekend and everything was in place when I came home. Great job will definitely book again.”
“I recently used Larrissa to walk my dogs , and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the first interaction, it was clear they were professional and passionate about pets. **Communication:** They were very responsive to my inquiries and took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and routines. Even assisted me with using this app for the first. **Reliability:** My dog walker was always on time and even provided updates and pictures during walks, which made me feel reassured. **Care for My Dog:** My puppy dog, Banks is still getting to everything, but Larrissa handled him wonderfully. He came back happy and tired after the walk. I am watching the dogs now just snoozing on the cameras. **Flexibility:** They offered flexible scheduling options, accommodating my last-minute changes wit. Overall, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend”

We make sure that we practice safe departures so that your dog is safe and

I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. Boarding dogs will have their own room to hang out in.

“My dog, Teddy, absolutely loved staying with Savannah H and family! As soon as we arrived on the farm, Teddy didn’t turn back - he loved the environment and was ready to meet new friends. Savannah sent pictures so I knew that he was having fun and doing well. I was actually sad for Teddy that his stay was only for one night! I highly recommend Savannah H as she’s super kind and loves all animals!”
“Teona and Louelyn are the best!! Our dog is blind and needs extra care. They made sure he became familiar with his surroundings and knew where his bowls were located. I especially loved the photos and videos that were sent during the day showing how happy he was. We had full confidence in their caregiving. Would definitely recommend!”
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Amanda and Scott. They are truly caring dog-lovers, and we are grateful that we can travel with confidence, knowing that Pip will be well cared for❤️”
“This was my wife and I's first time using Rover, so naturally there was a bit of hesitation when it came to leaving our 6 month old Beagle with someone we did not know. HOWEVER, we felt completely comfortable leaving our pup with Stephanie. First off, we decided to use Rover the night before we needed someone to watch our dog, and Stephanie responded to us promptly making it a breeze to schedule care for Charlie. She was very thorough in making sure she knew everything about him- his eating schedule, walking schedule, bathroom schedule, and even wanted to know where we kept him in his crate at night so she could help him feel close to home as possible. All in all, we are happy we chose Stephanie to watch our dog, and we will gladly choose her again in the future.”
“Lyra and Scott were great with Millie! I booked this stay kind of late as I made last minute travel plans, and they were very accommodating to my flight schedule! They sent updates daily and included photos. I could tell Millie was having fun with their family. I know Millie will be very happy to go back there!”
“Jenn is wonderful. My dog was a member of the family. It was like being at Doggy Camp. She sent photos and kept me informed on Buddy and his stay. I will use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Our Dixie had a wonderful stay with Shania and her family. We were sent pictures and updates during Dixie’s stay. She was well taken care of and we will definitely be planning another stay with Shania.”
“Jared was exceptional. He and his daughter took in our two golden retrievers as their own and I think that’s all we can ask for as a pet parent. I would highly recommend anyone staying in the Williamsburg choose Jared as your pet sitter. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Victoria took such good care of our pup when we were gone for a 10 day vacation. He was happy to play with the other dogs and loved being able to roam the house and lounge on the couch. Victoria will be our go-to when we go on vacation moving forward. You can rest assured that your pup will be in great hands if she's the sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Love Ms. Crystal. Elsa did so good for her. Side sent plenty pictures to keep me informed and I couldn’t be more thankful to know my baby was in great hands. Thank you again. Will be using her services again in the future.”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“Allison is confident and understanding when handling our dog reactive pittie. He really enjoyed his stay with her and I had peace of mind knowing we could leave him with someone as knowledgable as her in dog behavior, that also understands his needs for attention and comfort. We're new to Virginia and so relieved to have found her!”
About: Welcome to our home! We’re a fun, loving family with two elementary-aged kids and our friendly Bernedoodle, who loves having furry friends around. Our family has been used to having furry friends for a long time. I’m a teacher and my husband is a travel soccer club director, so our home is active, family-oriented, and full of love. We’re used to busy days, lots of playtime, walks, and plenty of attention! Our Bernedoodle is playful, social, and loves making new friends. We’d love to welcome your pup into our family while they’re with us and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We enjoy getting outside for walks and playtime and are happy to keep your dog on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or enjoys a more relaxed pace, we’ll give them the care and attention they need. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. Our goal is for every dog who stays with us to have a happy, safe, and fun stay!🐶❤️ A Typical Day in Our Home 🐾 Our home has a nice balance of structure, activity, and plenty of attention for our four-legged guests. I’m a full-time teacher, so I’m at work during the school day, but I’m home after school and have afternoons and evenings to spend with the dogs. My husband has a flexible schedule and typically doesn’t start work until around 10:00 AM and is home by about 3:00 PM. This means your pup won’t be alone for long stretches of time, and there is someone around during much of the day. Our mornings are busy with getting the kids ready for school, but we make time for potty breaks, breakfast, and some attention before everyone heads out. Once the kids are home from school, things become more active! We enjoy walks, outdoor play, and spending time together as a family. We live in the gated community of Fords Colony, so the walking paths for your pup are perfect and safe. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, and opportunities to relax throughout the afternoon and evening. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, potty, and medication routines as closely as possible. Our goal is to make their stay feel comfortable, safe, and as much like home as possible!
About: I have taken care of lots of dogs over the years. I love on all of them, and give great doggie massages. I take the dogs on daily walks. I work 3 to 4 hours each day and am home most of the time. I am a master gardener and spend a lot of free time in the yard. I have a fairly large fenced in back yard. I take my own dogs for a morning walk most every day. I give lots of treats.
“Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Super responsive to messages. Fantastic set up with huge fenced yard and large kennel area. Knew my pup was well cared for. Enjoyed pictures and she came home so tired so she clearly had a lot of fun! Used Rover in past and this is best yet! Will definitely be back!”
“Tara and her family were amazing with my dog. As a rescue, my dog is nervous in new situations. I appreciate all the great care that she provided. My dog had a great time and she cared for her with the same level of care that I would.”
About: I am an experienced dog parent with a deep love for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Having recently lost our high-energy Staffy, I'm deeply familiar with the dedication required to keep active dogs exercised, stimulated, and happy. I work from home, so your dog will benefit from constant supervision, plenty of indoor attention, and consistent daily walks. Whether your pup needs rigorous exercise or just a cozy spot to hang out while you're away, they will be in safe, loving hands with me Working at the house gives me complete control over my daily schedule, so caring for a dog fits naturally into my routine. My day is built around morning, midday, and evening walks, as well as regular yard time and structured play breaks. Because I'm home all day, guest dogs get constant supervision, consistent potty schedules, and plenty of affection to help distract me from work. In my home, guest pets are treated just like family. I closely follow every owner's explicit instructions for feeding schedules, house rules, and special needs to keep their routine as consistent as possible
