“Jen was great with our super skiddish dog who doesn’t have much experience with other animals or people but Jen ensured she would do great! I got pics everyday and she’s so quick to respond! Definitely rebooking with her in the future!”
“Indy had such a great time at Ciara’s! Of course, as a first time booking, I was a little nervous, but any of those feelings were quickly gone. Extremely caring home and care, and I love the updates and pictures along the way! I’m very grateful to have found Ciara and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Our senior dog is always so well taken care of and loved on staying here. I can tell Moose feels right at home and comfortable from all the pictures shared! It is so comforting knowing that he is in such good hands while we are away- thank you Amy!”
“From the very start, Matt impressed us with his prompt, thoughtful, and thorough communication. That same level of care carried through our meet-and-greet and throughout our puppy’s stay. We loved receiving his twice-daily updates and photos — it was clear our dog was not only well cared for but truly happy. When we returned from our trip abroad, jet lagged and exhausted, Matt gladly agreed to keep our pup an extra night so we could rest. When we picked him up, it was obvious how loved and well looked after he’d been. We couldn’t recommend Matt more highly and will definitely be booking with him again.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Teela take care of my dog, Bronx, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Teela was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional throughout the entire stay. She sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. Bronx was happy, well-exercised, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Teela to anyone in need of a top-notch pet sitter!”
“I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.”
“Cyndi was awesome! Kept both of our 100+ pounders and never flinched! They were so happy with her I thought they may not want to come home! We will definitely be booking another stay with Cyndi!”
“What a wonderful family!!! They were so welcoming of our big Akita and took care of him just like he was their own. And their dog was also great with mine. They were so accommodating and happy to have Rocko. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will be using them again. Thank you again Zach and Kelsey!”
“I’m definitely a bit of a helicopter dog mom and trust very few people to watch my fur babies while I’m out of town. Peyton & Daved have cared for my high-energy Australian Shepherd puppy, Luna, on three separate occasions now, and every single time she is beyond excited when we pull up—and completely tuckered out after spending her stay playing with all of her friends. They are incredibly patient with me constantly asking for “pupdates” and always send plenty of photos and updates of Luna exploring, playing, and having fun. It makes such a difference and really helps ease the guilt of being away from her. I’m so grateful we found Peyton & Daved. In fact, whenever I’m getting ready to travel now, I’m actually excited knowing Luna gets to spend time with her friends and people who genuinely care about her. There’s no better feeling than knowing your pup loves her home away from home just as much as you do. Thank you, Peyton & Daved, for taking such wonderful care of Luna. We couldn’t recommend you more highly!”
“Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!”
“Finally, we know Sushi is in good hands with Victoria when we travel! He falls right on line with the pack. She sends great updates and pictures, is in constant communication with you if necessary, and offers lots of flexibility around drop offs and pick up times. This was Sushi’s second 8+ day stay. There will be more. Top notch!”
“Margaret was wonderful! My dog looked like she was on her own vacation at Margarets house. She would send me pictures of Lucy playing in the yard and what bedding Lucy picked. Lucy loved being at Margarets house. I highly recommend Margaret!”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of my girl! Appreciate the updates, all the pictures and your flexibility for adding a day! Will be happy to book with you again!”
“We used Allison for the first time for a in-home boarding stay. Our dog was safe, well cared for, and we appreciated knowing she was in a home environment rather than a traditional kennel.”
“This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!”
“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!”
“Susan was very kind and caring to my pets. She provided excellent service and she helped me out tremendously. She responded to me the same day and helped me out in a time crunch, had to run out of town for a funeral. My cats seemed very happy and couldn't get them to go back in their carriers the day I picked them up to go home! Susan saved me and I appreciate her help in such a sad time.”
“Donetta is simply amazing. She’s my only dog sitter turned friend in the RVA. She takes care of my fur baby, Blu as if she’s her own. Blu gets excited as soon as we pull up to her home. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!”

“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!”
“Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Grace. She was clearly comfortable around a chaotic homestead when she came by for a Meet and Greet. She had no concerns with my dog that acts like an untrained puppy. She took great care of our barn cat, flock of chickens and ducks and chicks still in their brooder. We plan to hire her for all our trips!”
“Amy is very reliable and responsive. She sends daily updates and photos which gave me so much peace in mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend her and would book her again.”
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.
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.
About: I have a bit experience with kittens because I help a close friend with her foster cats often I’ve learned to be less interested to gain their trust. I love all cats seniors, strays and even spicy friends!
“Tanti gave my kitties all the love and attention they deserve while we went out of town. She did a fabulous job! Highly recommend Tanti and will certainly have her watch our kitties again the future”
About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

“Storm had a wonderful time with Ciara (and Fitz and Dolly.) Communication was outstanding and we really appreciated Ciara's preparedness as well! She clearly loves animals and was able to provide a fun environment for all her guests!”

In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I keep the home tidy & communicate regularly with updates & photos to give peace of mind. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care as if they were my own pets.

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.
About: Welcome! For me, caring for your pet isn't a job—it's a privilege. I truly believe your furry friend deserves the same unconditional love and routine they get from you. When your pet is with me, they become part of my temporary family, guaranteed to get plenty of snuggles, playtime, and personalized attention. Go enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is happy, safe, and deeply cared for. I had a French bulldog for 7 years and he had multiple health challenges from spinal surgeries to environmental and food allergies. You name it, he had it so I am well versed in pets with medication management needs or ones that have restrictions and I understand the importance of following these important guidelines. I’ve had to administer oxygen, shots and find unique ways to get the most stubborn doggie to take his meds so your dog is in good hands if they have any medical challenges. He was also my soul dog and constant companion so I understand the love one has for their furry family members. I’m at home during the day so I have the ability to play and love on your special baby frequently. I lost my soul dog, my frenchie, in December 2024 and have so much love to give. I would be honored to share my heart with your family member. I have a fenced in back yard where your doggies can play and there are no other dogs or kids in the household. I also love to take them on walks in the neighborhood, if they like walks. They would get extra special attention and may come home a little more spoiled. I also love hanging out with your pets on the sofa and sleeping with them in the bed but if there is a specific routine you want me to follow, I will follow your instructions to a tee.
About: I believe pets deserve to feel just as loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away as they do at home. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic dog, a shy pet, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and care. I’m happy to keep up with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little routines that help your pet feel comfortable. Communication is also important to me. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting plenty of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for animals throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of cuddles. When caring for a pet, I make their routine a priority. I’m happy to follow their normal schedule and keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. I also make time for regular updates and photos so their owners know how they’re doing. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and opportunities to relax. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routines so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their familiar environment and stick closely to their routine. I’ll make sure they’re fed, exercised, given plenty of attention, and have everything they need. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, including puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience and care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and keep their owner updated with photos and messages along the way.
“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful, and I really appreciated her quick communication, attention to detail, and compassion! She was able to respond to my last minute booking request and meet with me the same day. My dog had SO much fun with Jasmine’s dogs and the rest of her little crew. She really trusts Jasmine and actively looks forward to going to daycare camp. My dog is stubborn and will definitely let me know if she doesn’t like someone, so it was a relief to know she was spending her day having a good time. I got photos and updates throughout the day, and Jasmine responded quickly whenever I messaged her. I appreciated the flexibility with coordinating drop off/pick up times. Didn’t use her home pick up services, but it’s a nice option to consider. My dog had an awesome experience, and it was wayyyy better for her to be making friends and having fun than staying at home and waiting for me to come back. Highly recommend!!”
“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”
“Hugo had a long day-care stay with Ayme - for over a month! Ayme's is his home away from home so it was a no-brainer that that's where Hugo would be while we had our bathrooms remodeled. Hugo enjoyed playing with his doggie friends every day, I think he's bored now. Thanks again, Ayme and Andrew!”
“Miguel was so friendly and thorough! Sent pictures and videos even during Ralphie’s short stay and was very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Will absolutely be using him again!”

About: I have taken care of other peoples pets since I was a teenager. I have done drop ins and over night care for dogs and cats! I know fur babies are family and I take very good care of them. I have two dogs and four cats of my own! I would love the chance to let your pet get out and potty/stretch during the day or evening while you’re away. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have a lot of free time during the week as well as weekends. I can be available during the times of 8:30am-7:30pm or additional times if needed! I can let your dogs out to play and potty in your yard, if you don’t have a fenced in area I can put them on a leash and walk them. I can accommodate most things, just let me know your needs!
About: I am trained in Fear-Free and worked at an animal shelter for 3 years. You can rely on me to give medicine and provide typical daily care such as ear cleaning and nail trimming if desired. In addition, I will walk your pet as needed and provide socialization and enrichment. I am a mom of 2 dogs and 4 cats in addition to my own children. My furbabies are always taken care of as soon as I wake in the morning and multiple times throughout the day. I have high expectations for the care of my own pets that I will carry over into the care of any pets in my care. I will provide the care and love you want for your pet while they are being cared for by me. They will receive top-notch love and oversight in their own environment so that they can feel comfortable and at ease.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—seriously, rabbits to goats, and everything in between. Right now I care for dogs, chickens, rabbits, and a cat, and I also have experience pet sitting for families from when I was in high school. In my 20s, I’m excited to help other animal owners get to enjoy a vacation or even a little break like a date night, without having to worry. My love for animals really shows, and I’m totally comfortable with both big dogs and smaller ones—I’m happy to care for every breed. I’m willing to have animals stay at my home, but they absolutely need to be comfortable around other animals. I can also drive to your place and stay at your home if that’s what you prefer. I work from home, so I’m available as often as you need me, and if you need me to stay overnight to watch your furry friend, I can definitely arrange that. With all that said, I’m excited to help in any way I can—because I genuinely love what I do! I’m currently working from home as a Sales Executive at a HR company. I take my pups out every 2 hours for potty breaks and to throw the ball for my very active GSD dog. I get off around 5:30PM M-F. So if you need me to stay at your home to watch your pets while I work throughout the day- that’s no problem! Or I can most definitely take breaks throughout the day to come take your animal out and/or just give some snuggles! I am free on the weekends and can make really anything work. Just give me a time and place and I’ll be there! I have a huge back yard and plenty of space for your dog to run around! It is not fenced, so must have good recall or I can just walk them on a leash. If your dog is coming over to my house they must be good with other animals. I have a male Belgian tervuren (fixed) who’s pretty shy at first, but warms up quickly and would love a play buddy! And then I have a male Dachshund (fixed) who sleeps all day. I do crate my dogs while I’m away, and they can be crated just to give your pet some space to decompress. My cat is in a separate room so she will be away as well.

“Divine takes such good care of our Winnie! She’s the first dog walker we’ve hired and she has been flexible with our schedule changes week to week, sends the sweetest pictures, and is always on time.”
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.

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.
About: I’ve been watching both cats and dogs for friends and neighbors for a few years now, and now that I have more flexibility in my schedule I would love to provide my services to others! I work fully remotely and have a ton of flexibility to take care of your pets! If i’m not on vacation, i’m usually free to help :) I live in an apartment with my two-year-old chihuahua mix, Archie! Plenty of opportunities to run around the fenced dog area or ride over to a trail or park for more activity. If i’m dropping in, i’m happy to do whatever activities your pet loves and keep their routine going!
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. I adore all breeds, ages, and sizes. I'm very attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I currently work at a dog pet resort, so I have plenty of experiences with all sorts of dogs. I currently work part time, and am available pretty often! My scheduling is flexible, and I'm very transparent about my availabilities. I prefer to work daylight hours, but thats not a hard rule for me. I've been interacting with dogs of various temperments for a long time, so I'm practiced at providing a safe environment for your dogs. I'm very respectful of any safety rules you may have, and will never cut corners when it comes to the well-being of your pup.
About: I’ve had pets nearly my whole life and have been known to struggle to walk past an animal in need. This means rescuing an injured squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk, an opossum, and more, going the extra mile even when it was deeply inconvenient for me to do so. I also grew up attending zoo camp and then volunteering at a zoo from age 5 to 14, caring for a wide range of animals. I have worked with high energy pitties, a blind and anxious German shepherd, birds, cuddly kitties, fearful kitties, diabetic kitties, rabbits, and others. I have administered shots, IVs, medications, eye drops, and more. I am persistent and typically can win over even the shyest and most anxious fur baby. I have a genuine love for caring for pets and would be honored to care for yours! I am currently carefully thinking about my next full time role and working part time. My partner is an immigrant seeking employment during a time when that is extremely difficult due to the political situation. Any supplemental income is incredibly helpful for me as we navigate. I have a reliable vehicle, plenty of time to play with your pets, and love to love on them. I have a reliable car and I keep my word. I am communicative, honest, and truly love animals. I take direction well and understand that every pet has their specific needs. I don’t cut corners and do my best to provide top notch care, always.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight years old. Including puppies and rescuing senior dogs. Some of the senior dogs were at the end of their life so I understand the need for compassion and care. I currently have a two year old puppy which I have trained since she was five months old. So I am very versed in the need for daily exercise, consistent training, and daily enrichment. I’ve been dog sitting for at least ten years. Including extended stays at my residence. I’m currently a part time worker, looking for something to fill my extra time. So I have a very flexible schedule and I’m always ready for some extra dog time. My goal is to always put your pets need first. Including any care they need. Including cleaning up after them and any extra medications they may need. Also adding comfort and safety in stressful situations.
About: As I am sure you have been told by many dog walkers in the past- I have been around dogs, large and small, since I can remember. My parents always made sure that dogs were present in our household, as well as considered prominent family members. My dad, as a quadriplegic, had service animals for my entire memorable life, and I, as often as I could, assisted in continuously training them from tricks to tasks. I helped my uncles break horses, run cattle, and train farm dogs as needed for farms and ranches, and have never had any less than a smile on my face doing so. I truly, honestly, and deeply love all animals and would be honored to assist your family in caring for yours.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

“Jen was great with our super skiddish dog who doesn’t have much experience with other animals or people but Jen ensured she would do great! I got pics everyday and she’s so quick to respond! Definitely rebooking with her in the future!”
“Indy had such a great time at Ciara’s! Of course, as a first time booking, I was a little nervous, but any of those feelings were quickly gone. Extremely caring home and care, and I love the updates and pictures along the way! I’m very grateful to have found Ciara and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“From the very start, Matt impressed us with his prompt, thoughtful, and thorough communication. That same level of care carried through our meet-and-greet and throughout our puppy’s stay. We loved receiving his twice-daily updates and photos — it was clear our dog was not only well cared for but truly happy. When we returned from our trip abroad, jet lagged and exhausted, Matt gladly agreed to keep our pup an extra night so we could rest. When we picked him up, it was obvious how loved and well looked after he’d been. We couldn’t recommend Matt more highly and will definitely be booking with him again.”
“I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.”
“Cyndi was awesome! Kept both of our 100+ pounders and never flinched! They were so happy with her I thought they may not want to come home! We will definitely be booking another stay with Cyndi!”
“What a wonderful family!!! They were so welcoming of our big Akita and took care of him just like he was their own. And their dog was also great with mine. They were so accommodating and happy to have Rocko. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will be using them again. Thank you again Zach and Kelsey!”
“I’m definitely a bit of a helicopter dog mom and trust very few people to watch my fur babies while I’m out of town. Peyton & Daved have cared for my high-energy Australian Shepherd puppy, Luna, on three separate occasions now, and every single time she is beyond excited when we pull up—and completely tuckered out after spending her stay playing with all of her friends. They are incredibly patient with me constantly asking for “pupdates” and always send plenty of photos and updates of Luna exploring, playing, and having fun. It makes such a difference and really helps ease the guilt of being away from her. I’m so grateful we found Peyton & Daved. In fact, whenever I’m getting ready to travel now, I’m actually excited knowing Luna gets to spend time with her friends and people who genuinely care about her. There’s no better feeling than knowing your pup loves her home away from home just as much as you do. Thank you, Peyton & Daved, for taking such wonderful care of Luna. We couldn’t recommend you more highly!”
“Finally, we know Sushi is in good hands with Victoria when we travel! He falls right on line with the pack. She sends great updates and pictures, is in constant communication with you if necessary, and offers lots of flexibility around drop offs and pick up times. This was Sushi’s second 8+ day stay. There will be more. Top notch!”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of my girl! Appreciate the updates, all the pictures and your flexibility for adding a day! Will be happy to book with you again!”
“We used Allison for the first time for a in-home boarding stay. Our dog was safe, well cared for, and we appreciated knowing she was in a home environment rather than a traditional kennel.”
“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!”
“Susan was very kind and caring to my pets. She provided excellent service and she helped me out tremendously. She responded to me the same day and helped me out in a time crunch, had to run out of town for a funeral. My cats seemed very happy and couldn't get them to go back in their carriers the day I picked them up to go home! Susan saved me and I appreciate her help in such a sad time.”
“Our pups had an awesome vacation with Raye. She sent so many videos and pictures and they looked so happy and exhausted in every one. They got plenty of outdoor time, walks and love while we were away!”
“Teona and Louelyn were great with my dog. He is stubborn about taking his medication. They worked with him several different ways to get him to take it because my dog wouldn't follow the way he does for me at home. I apprecaited their patience and care. I received updates very quickly on the first day. After that, the updates were less frequent, but when I reached out to ask, they were quick to respond. My dog went with them happily which set my heart at ease. This was the first time I had left him with someone other than family. When I picked him up, he was glad to see me, but didn't appear to be anxious or traumatized in any way. When we visit Williamsburg again, I will definitely check with them to keep my dog again.”
“Shulamit was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She was extremely flexible, sent me picture updates, and taught me something new to use for Mia. Your pet is in good hands with this sitter!”
“I’m so happy to have found Jonathan on Rover! He is accommodating and sends updates on how my dog is doing (along with pics and videos!) He always responds in a timely manner and makes pick up/drop off a breeze. Would definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Newman was so happy in the pics that were sent during his stay. Le’Quitta and her crew spoiled him and took great care of him. Definitely will rebook and use her again!”
