“Kathryn was a WONDERFUL pet sitter for our little English bulldog, Daisy. She kept in touch with us and sent updates. We could tell Daisy really enjoyed her stay! Thank you, Kathryn!!!”
“My dogs LOVE Deb and Ralph. On the way in the driveway, they knew where they were (after only one 3-night stay a month and a half before) and were so excited they couldn’t wait. Deb sent pictures and videos of them rolling and playing on the floor with Ralph, and even stitched a hole in the beddie! These are DOG PEOPLE for sure!”
“Sophia was amazing! She was very flexible about drop off and a last-minute booking with only a few days notice. She sent daily pictures and our pup was loved to pieces and had very attentive care. We have used several Rover sitters with positive experiences and Sophia will definitely be our new go-to!!”
“Angel was great! She was flexible with our hectic and unpredictable schedule. She was a great communicator! Quick to reply, followed up about things I had even forgotten about, and really made sure she understood our needs. Our dog came back very happy and calm (which means she was able to let a lot of energy out). Would definitely book again!”
“Joe was an excellent care taker for my fur babies. One had to be given medication and kept calm. He did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Joe as a choice of sitters.”
“Erin took such great care of Honey. Friendly family. Accepting and fun furries of her own that might just turn into best 4-legged friends. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you Erin!”
“Amy is a delightful host! Our Ziggy loved her time with Amy--she has great outdoor spaces for play, is attentive, updates frequently, and is adept at managing multiple dogs at once. She knows what dogs need and makes sure they get that. Whenever we're back in the area, we will definitely ask Amy to take care of Ziggy again!”
“Ruby was excited and enjoyed staying with Madison. She did not appear to be at all anxious when we dropped her off, or when we picked her up. Often Ruby is initially uncomfortable and worried during her first stay, but that was not the case. We will definitely schedule her stay with Madison in the future!”
“Jocelyn did an excellent job of watching our dog. She was very flexible changing dates after our travel plans changed. She also sent regular updates with photos to help us feel better about our dog being taken care of.”
“Casey and her family took exceptional care of my fur baby Scottie. She sent pictures and updates through out his stay. Scottie was in amazing hands and his routines were kept up with (much needed for his age). They even made the sweetest note cards for me at pick up. Drop off and pick up was great. Thank you Casey and family! ♥️”
“Gretchen was incredibly responsive, supportive, & communicative — especially for a last-minute request. If I’m in the area again and need a dog sitter, I will definitely reach out; the care from her community of neighbors was incredible! I particularly appreciated their transparency & consideration for Bugs’ needs.”
“So glad we found Samantha to watch our Finn on short notice. Great communication with Samantha on arrangements and I think Finn had a pretty great time. Samantha was great in sending a daily update and pictures.”
“Jani and Jack gave our dog Piper and true vacation while we were on vacation! Not sure our pup wanted to come home. She was very well taken care of and loved just like at home. She made new friends with the two pups that live at the house. Lots of walks and treats. We were all so happy with the experience. Piper will be going back to Jani next time we need a sitter.”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Hillary! We receive daily updates with photos. Our girl was given walks and lots of love and had a fun time while we were away! Thank you!”
“Tiffanie was beyond amazing! Her kindness and love of animals was evident during our first "meet and greet." Leaving my anxious GSD was a concern, but Tiffanie's confident and compassionate manner easily quelled any fears. Tiffanie updated me daily with pics and provided daily walks in the park with my fur baby! Most noteworthy, however, was my pooch had reemerging symptoms appear of a recent medical condition and Tiffanie handled it compassionately and without complaint! She was a true blessing to both me and my pooch! I HIGHLY recommend her.”
“Blake was very responsive and took great care of my German Shepherd while I was traveling and needed a place to keep doggo. As a bonus, she's right off 81 which made pickup and drop off easier. Thank you!”

“Sylvia was amazing! I was so surprised when our scaredy cat tabby warmed right up to her when she came over for a meet and greet, he usually hides from new people. She kept us updated, was punctual and thorough on her visits, and made sure our boys stayed out of trouble. Thank you!”
“Amanda cared for our two cats during drop in visits. She is Good with communication and it was nice to have updates with pictures. We would use this service again if needed. We recommend her!”
“Tiffanie was amazing with our dog, Loki. She took him for walks and gave him so much love, he probably didn’t even realize we were gone. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”

About: Lifelong dog owner with decades of experience caring for dogs both big and small. I work from home and am able to provide maximum companionship and plenty of exercise. Boarders or daycare get 2-3 walks/day, dozens of photos, and lots of love of course! I provide toys, bowls, a dog bed, treats, poop bags and a backup leash. A tired dog is a good dog :) feel free to bring your pet’s crate if you’d like! I grew up with border collies and labs, then rescued my own dogs in adulthood. One of my rescues was a very sick 3-month old puppy that I raised, so I am well-versed with puppy care. I do not currently have pets living in the home, so your dogs will have the run of the place! I own my own home on a quiet circle street. My yard is an expansive quarter acre of grass with access to miles of mowed walking paths off my backyard. When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on a “Welcome Walk” to get acquainted in neutral outdoor space. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I look forward to taking care of your wonderful pets! I work from home, so I am flexible for drop-ins, last-minute needs, or regular walks, and can give your dog consistent companionship…and some fun of course! Rain or shine, I am happy to take them out. I provide a treats (if allowed), a dog bed, bowls, toys and backup leash (but I prefer you bring the leash your dog is familiar with!). Please feel free to bring a crate if you’d like to crate your dog! When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on “Welcome Walk” where we get acquainted in the great outdoors. This allows me to build our bond in neutral space with plenty of positive stimulation for the dogs. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I have used the clicker training method in the past, and do not believe in any form of domineering or physical correction. Your dog will have a stable experience here!
“Madison is great. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her care again. My Jaxson can be very nervous without his pet parents but she handled him like a pro and he did seem to enjoy his time with her.”
“Jani & Paul were able to graciously accommodate my puppy for daycare on very short notice. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and will most definitely be booking again. The best!!!”
“Nicole and her family were warm and welcoming throughout the entire process. Great communications! My Nikko thoroughly enjoyed her stay with them. Super attentive to all her needs. You can tell from the first minute that she not only understands animal caretaking, but she also has great compassion for them. Would highly recommend her service!”
About: I’ve had a dog my entire life except for a few very lonely months in 2020 after I lost the love of my life, Romey, the naughtiest lab with the best sense of humor. I grew up with labs (mostly ) but now have Gizmo, a labrodoodle , who will soon become BDE (best dog ever) if he can finally learn how to not jump like a kangaroo when he sees his dog friends. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. I’d walk, feed and love on my neighbors and friends pets. I hope I will be the one you call and who you can trust with your furry BFF. Whether you have a long day at work or a weekend vacation, I’ll be there for you! I work part time on the weekends up on the mountain and have lots of time during the week to help out with your dog! I have a fenced in play area in my back yard and crates, dog beds and a designated “dog room” where your pet can relax in solitude or with Gizmo!
“Kaleb had a great time at Amy's home and playing with Sylvie her pup. The dogs had a safe time and played HARD....he is now home and fast asleep. Can you see the smile on his face? Thank you Amy for making sure Kaleb had a stress free day. We will be back definitely.....”
“We were so excited to have Jack with Arie and Leigh as one of our first tries with day care as they are so experienced with dogs in general but especially labs. All went very well, great communication and what a wonderful family and property for Jack to play and even had a furry friend! Will plan to use them again and very much recommend.”
“This is our first time using an on line sitting service and Cory made it so easy, helping us feel very comfortable leaving our 6mo. old Berniedoodle for the first time. Cory obviously loves animals and we look forward to scheduling with him again.”
“We dropped Oliver off while we stopped and explored Staunton on a road trip, Sam was super flexible and kind. I felt comfortable leaving him there and would 100% book again if we’re in the area!”

From the moment that we arrived to drop off Hattie, Margaret met us with a warm smile and put us right at ease that Hattie will be well taken care of.

“My dogs LOVE Deb and Ralph. On the way in the driveway, they knew where they were (after only one 3-night stay a month and a half before) and were so excited they couldn’t wait. Deb sent pictures and videos of them rolling and playing on the floor with Ralph, and even stitched a hole in the beddie! These are DOG PEOPLE for sure!”
“Sophia was amazing! She was very flexible about drop off and a last-minute booking with only a few days notice. She sent daily pictures and our pup was loved to pieces and had very attentive care. We have used several Rover sitters with positive experiences and Sophia will definitely be our new go-to!!”
“Angel was great! She was flexible with our hectic and unpredictable schedule. She was a great communicator! Quick to reply, followed up about things I had even forgotten about, and really made sure she understood our needs. Our dog came back very happy and calm (which means she was able to let a lot of energy out). Would definitely book again!”
“Joe was an excellent care taker for my fur babies. One had to be given medication and kept calm. He did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Joe as a choice of sitters.”
“Erin took such great care of Honey. Friendly family. Accepting and fun furries of her own that might just turn into best 4-legged friends. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you Erin!”
“Amy is a delightful host! Our Ziggy loved her time with Amy--she has great outdoor spaces for play, is attentive, updates frequently, and is adept at managing multiple dogs at once. She knows what dogs need and makes sure they get that. Whenever we're back in the area, we will definitely ask Amy to take care of Ziggy again!”
“Ruby was excited and enjoyed staying with Madison. She did not appear to be at all anxious when we dropped her off, or when we picked her up. Often Ruby is initially uncomfortable and worried during her first stay, but that was not the case. We will definitely schedule her stay with Madison in the future!”
“Jocelyn did an excellent job of watching our dog. She was very flexible changing dates after our travel plans changed. She also sent regular updates with photos to help us feel better about our dog being taken care of.”
“Casey and her family took exceptional care of my fur baby Scottie. She sent pictures and updates through out his stay. Scottie was in amazing hands and his routines were kept up with (much needed for his age). They even made the sweetest note cards for me at pick up. Drop off and pick up was great. Thank you Casey and family! ♥️”
“Gretchen was incredibly responsive, supportive, & communicative — especially for a last-minute request. If I’m in the area again and need a dog sitter, I will definitely reach out; the care from her community of neighbors was incredible! I particularly appreciated their transparency & consideration for Bugs’ needs.”
“So glad we found Samantha to watch our Finn on short notice. Great communication with Samantha on arrangements and I think Finn had a pretty great time. Samantha was great in sending a daily update and pictures.”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Hillary! We receive daily updates with photos. Our girl was given walks and lots of love and had a fun time while we were away! Thank you!”
“Tiffanie was beyond amazing! Her kindness and love of animals was evident during our first "meet and greet." Leaving my anxious GSD was a concern, but Tiffanie's confident and compassionate manner easily quelled any fears. Tiffanie updated me daily with pics and provided daily walks in the park with my fur baby! Most noteworthy, however, was my pooch had reemerging symptoms appear of a recent medical condition and Tiffanie handled it compassionately and without complaint! She was a true blessing to both me and my pooch! I HIGHLY recommend her.”
“Blake was very responsive and took great care of my German Shepherd while I was traveling and needed a place to keep doggo. As a bonus, she's right off 81 which made pickup and drop off easier. Thank you!”
