“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 left my dog, Bonnie with Royal and Rhonda, and they were amazing! It was my first time leaving Bonnie in someone else’s care and they made it so easy and stress-free and were incredibly friendly. They really know their stuff and have a great setup for dogs. Bonnie had a blast and I loved the frequent updates. Highly recommend!”
“Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!”

“I really liked Elijah's notes and photos! Elijah left us a report every day and we could tell he made an effort to entertain and comfort my cat while we were away. We felt like Elijah was very kind and trustworthy too.”
“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”
“Peyton was great with dropping in to check on our cat while we were gone for a week. She was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures. Would recommend and book again!”

“Couldn't have asked for a better sitter, thank you so much!! I could tell you made Klaus feel very at ease, and that's saying something since he's a skittish boy haha”
About: When I was younger I would naturally gravitate towards animals, if I was at someone’s house you’d find me hanging out with the dog or cat. Because of this I’ve always been trusted to care for them and have gained experience from a young age with many different pets with ranging needs and personalities. I personally have a three year old cat named Linus, he is extremely loving, playful, and screams at me every morning for breakfast. I often care for different pets and really enjoy giving them the attention they deserve. I’m currently doing online classes and have a very flexible schedule with my part-time job. I am open to working with anyone’s schedule and can do overnights any night. I will care for your pet as I would mine, with all precautions and care taken to ensure the safety of your pet or pets. I appreciate detailed instructions and if I’m unsure of anything I will ask.
“Jasmine was great! She was not able to find my cat all of the time but she still sent pictures showing she was dropping in and tried very hard to catch my cat on camera. She even did the litter box even though I forgot to put that on the instructions.”
“Sidney came to my rescue last minute when my pet sitter had a family emergency. My cats immediately took to her and she gave me much needed peace of mind a day out from my trip!”
“Damaica is very responsible and communicative. Shared pictures of our kitty, who isn't always the friendliest to strangers, but allowed Damaica to pet her - a new friend. Definitely would use again.”
About: Im a registered nurse who loves my fur babies. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past 30 years. I have four rescue dogs of my own which I love and adore.

I am happy to care for your cute pets like they are my own. I will feed, play, and exercise your fur babies with love.
“Harlee was an amazing boarder for my cat! She gave me tons of photos and videos every day, as well as giving my sweet scaredy cat all the space and/or attention she needed to feel happy! She supplied her with plenty of treats and playtime as well! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Phyllis is beyond amazing! She goes above & beyond requests! Would highly recommend her to anyone. We will for sure use her again & again! Thank you for watching over our Stewie 🖤”

“Deven, Tyreek, and Ozzy have been an amazing addition to Tonka's village. They are responsive, caring, and bring lots of joy to my pups life. I appreciate them immensely!”
“If I could give her 10 stars I would!!! My Lily had such a great time. I really appreciated the tour of where she would be the dogs she will be around before leaving her. I felt very comfortable with leaving her there. I will absolutely use Nadia again and again ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets for many years now. I thoroughly enjoy their company, and they seem to enjoy mine as well. I am very energetic and love spending time outside. As a carer for dogs, I believe strongly that they should get a ton of out door exercise. If you choose me as a care provider, you can be assured that they will be very active during their time with me, and location and temperament permitting, will have plenty of fresh air and green space to enjoy. In addition to loving on pets professionally, I work remotely from home as a grant writer. I make my own schedule, and can easily make time to get some fresh air. I live very close to Forest Hill Park, and spend lots of time there and the Buttermilk trail with and without dogs to walk. If you live elsewhere, I'll be exploring the green spaces near you with your dogs, and treating your personal space like the guest I am.
“Very genuine person, got down on brownie's level to engage with her, brownie was happy and well taken care off. Abby worked with me and my schedule, I am grateful that brownie has a home away from home”
“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”
“William was great with Church and very attentive throughout the day. He made sure Church was comfortable, safe, and well cared for, and I appreciated the communication and updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing Church was in good hands. I would definitely book again and recommend him to others looking for reliable doggy day care.”
“Kourtney is so loving and kind — she made me feel completely at ease with leaving Henry with her! She kept me updated with photos and texts of how he was doing. I never worried because I knew he was taken care of and loved the whole time! I’m definitely using her again and would highly recommend her!”
About: I have owned animals my whole life. Since I was about 8 I was always the one responsible for their care and well being. In high school and throughout college - even now I was always the one friends and family relied on to care for their pets while on vacation or otherwise out of town. I am a college graduate and currently a full time mom and you can trust that I will be nothing but professional and responsible in your home and with your beloved pets. I work part time as a household manager and have open availability except for Monday-Thursday 4pm to 6pm so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed and give lots of pets to your pets! My husband works from home and will also be available to let out your dog for potty breaks if I happen to be out of the house. I am completely free on the weekends as well. Our home has a lovely fenced backyard where your dog can frolic and join us in a game of fetch. We have 1 friendly terrier who would love a doggy friend! We also have 1 reclusive cat and a 4 month old baby - please no dogs that would have issues with them in the home.
“Cindy is a wonder! My scaredy-dog loves her, and went to her willingly even though it had been a long time since his last visit. She asked if I’d like her to give him a bath, and that was a very welcome addition. Thank you Cindy!”
“Royal and Chelle are seriously amazing! Remi had such a great time and once we got home, he slept the best he has in months. They will play with your animal all day long and give them the best day ever! ❤️ can’t wait to bring our pup back again. Thank you both for everything! Gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands while we went to work.”
About: Hello: I have a lifelong passion for animals, particularly dogs, developed through years of personal experience as a dedicated pet owner since childhood. Growing up with pets instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, compassion, and attentiveness to animal well-being. In addition to being a devoted pet owner, I am also a nurse, which strengthens my ability to provide informed, detail-oriented, and safety-focused care. I am deeply committed to caring for dogs both holistically and medically, taking a balanced approach that supports their physical health, emotional wellness, and overall quality of life. I value preventive care, proper nutrition, and natural wellness practices, while fully understanding the importance of routine veterinary care, medical treatments, and ongoing health monitoring. My healthcare background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or condition, administer care responsibly, and prioritize safety at all times. I take pride in providing patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate care, ensuring every dog feels safe, healthy, and genuinely loved. I hope you & your fur baby are doing well. I am available Mondays- Sundays for drop in visits. I’m available Mondays-Sundays for boarding at my home. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every aspect of pet care, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and builds trust with both pets and their families. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure all spaces are pet-safe, free from hazards, and appropriately supervised. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I provide structured feeding times, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest to support their physical and emotional well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions exactly as given. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, monitor behavior and health closely, and provide updates to ensure peace of mind. I am attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and respond promptly and responsibly. I am experienced in both holistic and medical care, including administering medications as directed, monitoring health changes, supporting proper nutrition, and providing gentle, natural wellness practices when appropriate. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
About: I’ve loved dogs since I could walk! I will treat your fur baby like they are my own! Pets are family and should be treated as such ! Can’t wait to join your furfamily !

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
About: With 9 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I bring both professional medical knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. I have extensive hands-on experience with cats and dogs of all ages, temperaments, and health conditions, including seniors, anxious pets, and animals requiring medications or specialized care. Working in veterinary medicine has taught me how to recognize subtle changes in behavior and health, respond calmly in stressful situations, and tailor care to each animal’s individual needs. Beyond my professional experience, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is deeply personal, and I strive to provide the same level of attentiveness, patience, and affection that I would want for my own pets. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet companionship and routine, I create a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am currently taking a break for myself from my career in veterinary medicine so I have all the time in the world for your beloved kiddos! I provide detailed updates, photos, and consistent communication so you can feel confident your pets are safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and medical needs. Whether your baby is shy, energetic, senior, or requires medications or extra monitoring, I create a calm, low-stress environment built on patience, trust, and compassion. Your pets will always be treated like family in my care.
About: I only host one family’s pets at a time. I have a dedicated cat bedroom: your cat will enjoy two cat trees and a view of beautiful trees, birds, and sunshine. My yard is fenced in well enough for small to medium dogs. DETAILS: I am a Richmond Public Schools teacher and a musician. A lifelong dog owner, I am the proud mama to rescue pups Bentley and Bo (who is my angel dog in heaven). I also have two charming, funny, and delightful cats — Gwen and Cricket. Because I’m on summer vacation, I have loads of availability to care for your pets, with a focus on daycare and boarding in my home. I live in a two-story, four-bedroom home with a fenced-in backyard near Westover Hills, Redd Elementary School, Lucille Brown, and Chippenham Hospital. We are close to a couple of dog parks, including Barker Field, and within a few miles of the VMFA, with plenty of green spaces to walk and relax in the fresh air. If you like, I’m happy to take your dog to Barker Field, where I will monitor your pup closely for safety. I have a large fenced backyard for safe, frequent potty breaks. Your pup will truly be cared for like my very own. Because I am a teacher, my summers are wide open for long walks, backyard playtime, cuddles on the couch, and plenty of one-on-one attention for your pets throughout the day. During the summer, I spend most of my days at home catching up on spring cleaning, gardening, yardwork, reading, and chatting on the phone. Your pet will have human companionship for most of the day, except for occasional grocery shopping and errands. I love ALL dogs and will treat your sweet one like my own. Dogs are precious to me. Boarding dogs will have non-stop loving, cuddling, and affection. If your dog prefers to sleep alone, I’ve got FOUR bedrooms with lots of comfy hiding places and multiple dog beds scattered throughout my home. My 1/4 acre yard is fenced in well enough for small and medium dogs. Your dog will enjoy hanging out with me while I garden or read on a blanket in the backyard, sniffing all the new smells.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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?

About: For the past 5 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Growing up surrounded by animals, I developed a natural instinct for their needs and a deep love for every wagging tail and wet nose. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cozy cuddles, I treat every pup like a part of the family. I get off work around 4pm and have a few hours every night. I am usually available on the weekends to provide care for your pets! I am always very conscious of keeping pets indoors and leashed. Keeping your pet safe and out of harms way is my #1 priority. I will also make sure your pet is healthy and happy!
About: Hi! I’m here to make being away from your pet feel a little easier. I know how important updates, communication, and consistency are when trusting someone with your furry family member. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while your pet is in my care. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s personality and routine — whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, slow introductions, medication support, or simply keeping things calm and predictable. I send regular photo updates and communicate clearly so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every client relationship like it matters long term, not just for one booking. I've had dogs all my life and am currently a dog mom to my sweet mixed breed. She's been with us for almost 2 years and is a joy to our household. We do not have any other animals, but I did grow up in a veritable zoo (Rabbits, birds, dogs, cats, goats, fish and chickens)! I'm happy to learn and adapt to your needs. I'm a stay at home mom and so my availability is quite flexible. I only ask that your furry baby is friendly with other kids and dogs. Your furry baby will be treated as one of my own. Each dog will join in on family playtime, walks and of course lots of scritch scratches! I'm currently a stay at home mom with both kids in school. I'll have plenty of time to care for your furry baby. I have a dog of my own, so if we are boarding or doing doggy day care, your pup will have a doggy playmate! Every dog is different, so I’d love to hear about your dog’s quirks, routines, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I do my best to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I have a fully fenced in back yard and a dog to keep your pup company. I also have elementary aged kids in my home who are very familiar in how to handle dogs. Our dog is fully vaccinated. Our yard is free of pesticides and chemicals.

“Destiny is the best! Our dog is a 70+lb 6 month old puppy and Destiny exudes the energy of a calm, experienced dog handler who clearly loves dogs, but also knows how to keep them chill! She is also super with communication!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and I've never met a dog or cat I didn't love! My childhood dog (Macy, 120lb Leonberger) could be quite the handful on a walk but learning to control such a large dog has definitely helped me with my dog walking experience. I am now a proud cat mom of my beloved Rotisserie and spoil him rotten ♡. I have been pet sitting / dog walking since I was in high school. I have worked in homes with all types of pet situations from new born puppies to homes with seven cats! I really enjoy going on nice long walks to allow dogs to sniff and explore while getting all their energy out! I also love to sit / cuddle / play with dogs in the home or backyard! I am also experienced with reptiles having owned a beautiful bearded dragon, Celeste, for 5 years!

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on professional experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I previously worked at a kennel-free dog boarding facility, where I helped care for multiple dogs at once in a safe, supervised environment. I’ve also worked as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, providing daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, and lots of attention and playtime. Animals have always been part of my life—I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently care for my own pets as well. Because of my background in both professional animal care and customer service, I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. What you can expect when your pet is with me: • Reliable, on-time care • Regular photo and text updates • Safe handling for dogs with different temperaments • Experience with multi-dog households • Lots of attention, enrichment, and play Whether your dog needs a walk while you’re at work, drop-in visits while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid office jobs with very flexible hours. When I do go into the office, my office is dog friendly so I can bring a furry friend along if they enjoy the socialization! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and enrichment they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just companionship. I also make sure basics like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and litter boxes are taken care of. For dog walks, I focus on safe handling, appropriate exercise for your dog’s energy level, and making sure they return home happy and settled. I always send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while keeping you informed and at ease.
About: I've never not had animals in my life! I spent my early years on a working farm and have always had a way with animals. Dogs love me (cats, too!) and I them ❤️ I have many years of experience in the veterinary field and know what to do in emergencies. I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible. I do work away from home for 5-8 hours a day, split shift. I have dogs amd cats but can keep them separate, if necessary. My dogs are dog friendly, although my beagle mix is very bossy (typical!) Dogs will be in the house with my dogs, but they can be separated, if needed. I can crate, if the parents supply the crate. Dogs will be leash walked in the wide front yard but we can also go across the street to the dog park, too!

Apart from taking care of your pups, I believe in good customer service; all instructions you leave me will be followed with the utmost care to keep them wagging! So when can I start?

“Absolutely amazing experience. Work and day to day has been made so much more enjoyable and I have so much appreciation for the patience my pup is experiencing. I will be a regular for quite some time. Thank you again Phyllis!”
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: Ive taken care of many breeds of dogs from various sizes and ages since I can remember. I currently own a puppy and am loving every part of it. I currently work part-time from 5am-9am so I have plenty of time during the rest of the day to take care of your pets whenever! I love taking my dogs on trails and around the neighborhood to make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment. This is important to ensure they stay happy!
About: Hello there! I absolutely adore animals. I spent 3 years at the SPCA, working directly with the animals and fostering. My friends and I started our own rescue, SFC Virginia Animal Rescue. I know how hard it is to trust your dog is in good hands, and to feel happy, and safe. I love snapping photos and sharing with you all that me and your fur baby do during our visit, (and not afraid to inspect poop to ensure your pet is healthy and report when a concern.) My dogs have been through various trainings and would be happy to share my knowledge while I spend time with your pet. I have over 5 years experience with pets with medical needs varying from administering sub-q fluids to medications to inhalers for the cat-kiddos. My girl has hypo-thyroid and has to take a pill twice a day. With my experience with medically-needy animals I am hyper aware of the smallest changes in behaviors in a short period of time and can offer varying tricks with administering for the ones who aren’t big fans. Side note: I do have travel minute limit, for those east of 95, that is within the time limit if the $5ish toll is taken, otherwise it would take over 30 mins. If you are okay with an additional charge of $6 to cover toll, I will be more than happy to assist! I work from home so I get a lot of quality time with my babies. Where I see opportunities to train, I take advantage. Training is a daily on going activity. My animals eat twice a day on snuffle mats with a kibble and veggie/fruit medley. In short, pet care is part of my routine. When hired to do check-ins I like to spend my first time with the pet observing knowing I’m a stranger and I want to not overwhelm. I will read the vibes and either interact more or keep a distance depending on their body language and how they are reacting to me. I know pets sometimes have a tendency to be more reserved or hesitant to do their normal activities. I try to connect and bond during this time as well with treats (if provided) and positive quiet communication.
“Rebecca was great! I will definitely be booking with her again. She came over to take Finn out on a walk since I had an after work event and couldn't get home in between. She still took him on a full walk even though it was raining hard and toweled him off and hung up his gear to dry which made my life so much easier!”
About: Im a registered nurse who loves my fur babies. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past 30 years. I have four rescue dogs of my own which I love and adore. I’ve had a total of 16 dogs and three cats. My neighbors trust and call on me to care for their pets when they are out of town. I would love to care for your fur babies when your away. I am happy to be available for drop ins and dog walks in the early mornings and late evenings, as well as most weekends and holidays. I also use Rover for my pet sitting needs. I am happy to care for your cute pets like they are my own. I will feed, play, and exercise your fur babies with love.
About: My love for animals started at a young age! My mom and I were apart of an organization that transported dogs from kill shelters in the South to non-kill shelters in New York. I have 5 dogs, a horse, and a rabbit. I previously worked at a boarding facility for cats and dogs. I currently work as a vet assistant under Mission Pet Health. I am a junior at VSU and a first year student at Penn Foster to become a veterinary technician. I am dedicated to helping, improving, and supporting the level and quality of care that my clients need! I currently work part time as a veterinary assistant. I have a flexible schedule where I can assist clients with pet-sitting. I am available on weekends and holidays as well! I do not plan on bringing other dogs in my house because I have 5 dogs already, however the high quality of care that I provide for my own dogs will reflect the care that I provide for others!
“Kassie put in the extra effort to make my grumpy little old man of a dog happy! She consistently put in extra time to ensure his comfort and to keep me posted while I was away. Very appreciative of her!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats around in my life. I’m a creative who has free time, enjoys animals and loves to be of service to others where I can! I work from home which gives me time to care for your pets in the morning, afternoon and evenings! I would never be gone longer than 4 hours. In the clients home I would become knowledgeable about the pets routine, diet, and any specific needs or requirements to help understand the pets behavior, likes, dislikes and anything I can do to help the pet feel more comfortable in their own home!

“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 left my dog, Bonnie with Royal and Rhonda, and they were amazing! It was my first time leaving Bonnie in someone else’s care and they made it so easy and stress-free and were incredibly friendly. They really know their stuff and have a great setup for dogs. Bonnie had a blast and I loved the frequent updates. Highly recommend!”
“Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!”
“Abby was great with my dogs. She kept me informed throughout the entire trip and was vigilant in keeping my dog with addisons disease healthy. She went above and beyond to ensure they had a good stay.”
“Nicole is the absolute best. She’s taken such good care of Kappy every single time we’ve boarded and has always been so accommodating!! We won’t go anywhere else”
About: I’ve loved dogs since I could walk! I will treat your fur baby like they are my own! Pets are family and should be treated as such ! Can’t wait to join your furfamily ! I currently WFH and can prioritize lots of walks, love, and check ins as needed! We can take trips to the park or just get outside in the back yard ! I have an apartment with plenty of walking trails around and grassy areas to accommodate pups needs ! We have elevator to assist for older fur babies that can not do the stairs!
“Great hosts! They were very accommodating and had a lovely home for Eddie. I also really appreciated the check in photos and videos to see that my dog was happy and safe. I will definitely book with them again”
“This was my first time using Rover for an extended stay. I was so stressed about leaving my dogs for two weeks but after the Meet & Greet with Dylan my stress was gone. Dylan is very confident and has an excellent handle on caring for dogs. I got daily pictures which was a lovely bonus! Thank you so much!”
“Another great stay with Cyndi! Really appreciate all of the pictures and communication she provides throughout the stay. Our pup is always well taken care of and happy while in her care. Thanks Cyndi!”
“I had a great experience with this sitter and would absolutely book again. They were reliable, professional, and clearly cared about my dog’s comfort and well-being. Communication was consistent throughout, and I appreciated the updates and attention to detail. My dog came back happy, well cared for, and in great condition, which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.”
