“I have to admit I was very nervous leaving my dog, Zeus with Robin when we went on vacation. However, Robin was great with Zeus. She texted, and sent pictures of Zeus daily. She put all my fears to rest soon after I left, Zeus with her. If you’re looking for someone to give your dog unconditionally love while you’re away, Robin is who I recommend. I know I will be using her services again in the near future. Thank you again, Robin for taking such great care of Zeus while we were away!!!”
“We absolutely love having Katina be our dogs' boarder. She is so sweet with the animals, sends pictures/videos when we've requested them, and the dogs don't want to leave! Her set up is amazing for all of the animals as well, and the other dogs that come to her house are so nice.”
“Thanks to this sweet family for treating our doggo as apart of the their family. They took on a very last minute request from us, gave our dog the time of his life with park visits, and were constantly showing us pics. Very blessed to have found this sweet family. 10/10 recommend”
“Mark & DJ took great care of our babies. They sent us updates consistently & went the extra mile in checking what was best for both of our dogs. You can tell they have a passion for dogs (and photo skills!). We cant recommend them enough!”
“Kailee was absolutely amazing with my Doberman puppy! She boarded her for 3 days and gave her the best care I could have asked for. Athena came home happy, tired (in the best way), and clearly so well loved. Kailee made sure she got all her energy out with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and treats. Her dogs also gave Athena great company and kept her entertained, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving her. Having two acres of land for the dogs to run and play on was such a huge bonus, it gave Athena so much space to explore and burn energy safely. It’s clear Kailee truly cares about the dogs she watches, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! :)”
“Charissa and Alex took exceptional care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. Not only did she clearly receive a lot of affection, they also provided her with some leash training and made sure she had lots of time for play with other dogs and plenty of time outside (the weather was surprisingly warm for December). They welcomed her to their home like she was one of their own, and we will definitely book with them again when the need arises. Thank you so much!!”
“Wonderful experience ! Heather and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. They were flexible and extended the stay for our dogs when we needed to stay an extra day. The dogs were very happy and enjoyed playing with her little girls. I will definitely request Heather when we board our pups.”
“Rebekah did a wonderful job! I would highly recommend her. She was very thoughtful and attentive to my little dog, who is never been boarded anywhere. She did a great job!”
“Milo had a great time! I got so many pictures and videos throughout the day and could tell he was truly in good hands. He is absolutely exhausted from playing all day!”
“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
“Jesse was very friendly and asked great questions to make sure our dog would be well taken care of. He sent us pictures of our pup enjoying his stay which we really appreciated.”
“Dorothy and Vernon took great care of our 6-month old puppy! We were out of town all afternoon/evening and they sent pics and videos of Willow having a great time in the yard and playing with toys inside. Would not hesitate to ask them to take care of Willow again.”
“Michelle was so amazing with our babies. They had a blast. She sent us videos and pictures each day as well as fun fandom daily updates as well which we greatly appreciated. We would recommend her to anyone in need of exceptional pet care. We know we will rebook in the future.”
“I'm so glad to have found Denise. My Luna is a shy girl, but she really enjoyed her stay with Denise. I was glad to receive updates on how she was doing and pictures. It was really great to also have the peace of mind that our baby was in good hands when we were out of town. We'll definitely use Denise again in the future.”
“Highly recommend, we never have to worry about our fur baby! We had pictures and daily updates! Our puppy looked relaxed and could see she was having fun. Every time we have taken Bella to Elizabeth and Denton, she is very relaxed when she comes home. Not stressed out, I could tell the love she received. 💗🐾 Thank you for the love and care🐾”
“We highly recommend Nathan. He made drop off quick and efficient. When our flight home and pickup were delayed he was very understanding and accommodating. Pick up was also quick and efficient and when made sure we didn’t leave anything behind! The large fenced-in space on his property is what dogs dream of, I assume. 🤣”
“Svitlana was great with our Border Terrier, Kimi. She sent updates and photos daily. She walked Kimi in the neighborhood and played ball with her in the yard. Kimi came home happy, so we will hire Svitlana again!”

About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was 10! I currently have 5 family cats that I am the main caretaker of, and two extras that my sisters care for, but when they’re away I spend time with them. Three of them frequently need medication. I have administered all types of medication! Including diabetic care and needles, oral pills or liquid, ointment, and other types of medication! I would be more than happy to take care of your babies 🐾🐾
About: Your fur baby will have a blast with our pack! Winnie, Tater and Goose are the ultimate pals. We will be sure to keep your pup entertained and a great way to get exercise and affection while you’re away! If you have an older dog, I can offer one on one snuggle time and a calm relaxing environment separate from the other pups. We have 2 acres and enjoy outside playtime. We frequent the dog park in Louisa and hiking trails from Richmond to Charlottesville. Common treats are homemade chicken jerky and sardines. Please let me know if your pup is not on a tick preventative. We treat our yard with a dog safe spray but enjoy recreational activities away from home and would like to be extra cautious for your fur baby. I have full weekday and have full weekend availability! We enjoy going on walks in our neighborhood or the park close by early in the morning and late at night before it gets too hot. Depending on your pup’s age, younger ones will have tater and goose to play with. Older/calmer pups will stay with Winnie and I in a separated part of the house. I will care for your pup however you feel they will do the best (:
“Our cat Evie may have been a little disappointed when we came home. She seemed to be having such a great time with Dayton when she stopped by. Dayton showed excellent communication, dependable care, and gave plenty of attention to our furry family member. We felt completely at ease while we were away and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommended!”
About: I have been taking care of a farm and many animals on it. Four dogs and 2 teenagers. I have been watching and taking care of animals for a long time and I very much know what they need or like! Pet care fits in my every day life very easily and my teens help me out because they love their animals as much as do! I make sure all animals are comfortable and I will always get to know the animal before doing anything so they are comfortable with me or my kids!!
About: I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding, litter box cleaning, and spending time with them at their own pace. I know some cats are super social and others just want their space, and I’m totally comfortable with both. I’ll make sure they’re taken care of and not feeling stressed while you’re away.
“Victoria did a wonderful job caring for my two adult male cats and ~8 week old kitten for about 5 days. She was patient and has a keen attention to detail, especially with my helicopter-parent semi-neurotic novel of a instructions write-up. Overall, Victoria did an exceptional job caring for my furry children and I would seek her services again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Victoria!!! 🤗”
About: Providing loving, reliable care for every cat is my priority. I focus on feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, companionship, and ensuring a safe, clean, and stress-free environment. Whether caring for kittens, adult cats, or senior cats, I treat every feline with patience, compassion, and the attention they deserve
“One day I was fine, the next day I started a twelve-day stay in the Critical Care Unit of a major teaching hospital. I contacted Haley—I had never used her before, who stepped into 3-a-day visits to take care of Douglas for the duration of my hospial stay. I reeceived daily reports, but also she communicated with my friends so I could completely concentrate my efforts on healing. I feel she was part of the team that saved my life.”
“This was our first time leaving our newly adopted cat and Michelle took great care of her. She provided us with detailed feedback and took the extra step of cleaning up tracked litter and fur balls to keep our cat's space clean.”
About: Taking care of dogs or any animal in fact has always been something I really enjoyed from a young age. I started a few years ago just reaching out to friends and family to take care of their pups and I’ve had a blast and want to make it a more every day thing. I just love making dogs as happy as they make me:) Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I work very part-time and have lots of flexibility. I love being able to plan my days around walks, playtime, and quality time with the pets I care for. I’m also available for overnights, which means I can give pets extra comfort and consistency while their owners are away—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like work! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable space with plenty of attention and playtime. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, and any meds they need. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for the pet. Whether it’s my home or theirs, I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel loved, relaxed, and well cared for
About: Cats aren’t just low-maintenance dogs, they’re smart, sensitive, and full of personality. As a devoted cat owner myself, I understand the little things that matter: the specific way your cat likes to be approached (or ignored), how often their water needs to be refreshed, and when a litter box needs attention before they complain about it. Whether your cat is social and playful or more reserved and independent, I adapt to their needs. I offer: - Litter box scooping/cleaning - Feeding (wet, dry, or combo) - Fresh water - Playtime, brushing, enrichment - Medication if needed - Chill hangout time if your cat just wants quiet companionship I’ll also keep you updated with photos, notes, and any changes I notice in behavior or appetite, because I’d want the same for my own pet. I’m patient, respectful, and genuinely love earning a cat’s trust (even the grumpy ones).
About: Cats have always been part of my life — I've had as many as five at once! I understand that cats are independent but still need real attention, enrichment and love while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with shy cats, social cats, multiple cat households, and administering medications if needed. Your cat will get genuine care and plenty of photos so you never have to worry.
About: Hi! I'm Reis, a dependable and active animal lover with both professional and personal pet care experience. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility where I supervised doggie daycare, monitored group play, and helped ensure dogs stayed safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. This experience taught me how to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight house-sitting and pet-sitting services, caring for pets in their own homes and maintaining their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. As someone with an active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a weekend sitter, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently work a part-time job that allows me to have a lot of flexibility. I am able to work in all of Richmond and surrounding areas as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Through my experience working at a dog daycare facility, overnight house-sitting, and caring for both a senior dog and a young dog of my own, I've learned that every pet has different needs and energy levels. Whether your pet prefers a relaxed walk and extra patience or lots of activity and play, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: Hi! I’m Vanessa, and I’ve spent over a year working hands-on at a professional dog daycare and boarding facility here in Orange. That means I’m used to caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels — from bouncy puppies to mellow seniors. I’m currently offering dog walks and drop-in visits only. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a structured walk, or just some loving company while you’re away, I bring the same reliability and safety focus I use at the daycare. I also love adding enrichment — things like sniff-walks, interactive games, or even “report card” style updates so you know how their day went. I’m currently working a part-time job and my hours differ week to week. Some days it’s 7 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. and other days it’ll be from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m! Mondays are my busiest day of the week, so I can’t fit much into that day, but you can always still message me and I can see what I can do! In a client’s home, I always follow your pup’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits, that might include letting them out for a potty break, refreshing food and water, giving medications if needed, and spending quality time playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I make sure to leave everything tidy and send photo updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. For dog walks, I focus on safety and fun. I use secure leashes/harnesses, keep a close eye on the environment, and adjust the pace to match your dog’s age and energy level — whether that’s a brisk stroll or a relaxed sniff walk. My goal is always to make sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve while giving you peace of mind.
“Our cats and chickens were well taken care of during a Christmas trip to see the in laws and even our Christmas tree was kept watered! I look forward to having her booked for any future trips since our shy, anxious kitties like her.”
“We are new to Rover and selected Keri given her considerable experience. We are very pleased with the services she provided to our varied group of dogs, cat and Guinea hens. We will absolutely be returning customers and recommend Keri to others. 5 stars !”

“Tio was happy and ready for a nap after spending a day with Toni, Duke and Anna and I could not have been happier. This was my first time leaving Tio with a sitter so needless to say I was very anxious about how he would do. Toni sent lots of updates including pictures and even a video of my boy having a great time while I was away. I highly recommend Toni if you have a need for a great caregiver for your four legged babies.”
“Denise was absolutely awesome. One of the best Rover day cares we have experienced. Would definitely recommend her and if in the area would ask her to stay with our dogs again.”
“Jessica was wonderful. We left our two dogs with her while we were working a late wedding and she took wonderful care of them, sent us photos, and kept us updated. 100% recommend her”
About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.
“Nathan was incredible. He got back to us with answers to our questions. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, we used him for doggy daycare. We will definitely be using him again.”
About: I’m a stay at home mom with three dog crazy kiddos! I’ve always had dogs my entire life, and spent part of my young adulthood working as a vet tech. I have experience walking dogs for my neighbors growing up and taking care of friends’ critters. I’m home most of the day so your pup will get plenty of attention and opportunity for exercise and play time. My family and I love hanging out at home in our backyard when weather is nice and spending time with our animal crew. Nowadays, I live on three acres with my family including a little schnauzer and a flock of chickens. Your pup will be able to go on long walks and adventures as our neighborhood has lots of trail options! My kids are in school most of the day, and are very responsible and good with all animals. Your pup will get lots of socialization and love with us. Your fur baby will be in good hands with us!
About: Personalized Boarding & Doggy Daycare! Your dog will be treated like part of the family while you're away. I intentionally keep my numbers low so every guest receives plenty of individualized attention and supervision. I'm a homeschool mom, homemaker, and lifelong dog lover. My husband, two daughters, and three dogs make our home a fun, safe, and loving environment where someone is home most of the day. 🐾 Meet & Greets Required I require a free meet-and-greet before accepting new clients to ensure we're a great fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! As a homemaker, I'm home with the dogs most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of care, potty breaks, playtime, and love throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, so guest dogs can settle into a comfortable rhythm that works for them. Whether your pup enjoys playing, lounging on the couch, following people around the house, or taking frequent naps, they'll have plenty of opportunities to do so. If I leave the house, it's typically only for a short period of time. I'm happy to accommodate dogs who are crate-trained or who prefer a crate for naps, meals, or bedtime. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully supervise all interactions between guest dogs and resident dogs, and I take time to learn each dog's personality, preferences, and needs. Meals are served separately to create a calm, stress-free environment and prevent food-related conflicts. I'm happy to follow your dog's normal feeding schedule, medication routine, and any special instructions you provide. My home features a large, securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. At bedtime, I do my best to maintain your dog's normal routine. Whether they sleep in a crate, on a dog bed, or in another familiar setup, I want them to feel at home during their stay.
“Cooper had the BEST day with Praveen and his wife and his two dogs. It was his first time away from Us as he is a puppy. He was spoiled, and taken well care of. Highly recommend this sitter!”
About: I am part owner of a dog training business and have dog trainers on premises. I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember. I believe dogs are the best medicine for anyone. I limit myself to only a few dogs at a time so that I can ensure each pup gets all the love, attention and care they need while their owners are away. I am a remote worker, so I am home nearly 24/7 so your pup will be well cared for and treated as though a member of the family while staying with me. I cater to what each dog needs. Your dog will never be left alone unattended while staying with me. I have 6 acres so there is plenty of opportunity to explore.
About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds—from cats and dogs to birds, bunnies, and even livestock. I grew up working alongside an equine veterinarian and have spent years collaborating closely with small animal vets, giving me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether your pet needs meds, special care, or just a little extra love, I specialize in supporting animals with medical needs and take pride in being calm, compassionate, and highly attentive. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a lifelong animal caregiver who treats every pet like family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it's midday walks, medication schedules, or just extra snuggles, I’m consistently present and available to keep your pets happy and stress-free. My routine is built around their needs—because their comfort and well-being come first. 🐾 In my home, pets enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of supervised playtime. My own friendly dogs are always happy to welcome new furry friends, but if your pet prefers one-on-one attention, I can provide a quiet, relaxed space just for them. I tailor the experience to match each pet’s personality and comfort level—whether they love to socialize or just want a calm companion.
“They were super helpful and caring. They understand dog thinking and went out of their way to accommodate the walk we had to do because we were pulling a camper. Definitely recommend!”
“Paula took excellent care of our dog Loki. We were visiting from out of town and need a place for Loki while we visited older relatives. Paula was good with communication and Loki came back all happy. Definitely recommend!”
About: I started my journey with dogs 4 years ago and have not looked back enjoying every moment since. I am a certified trainer who loves improving the relationship between human and dog. We have a dog yard plus 5 acres. All dogs stay in our extra bedroom, which is now considered the dog room. I personally have two dogs, a cattle dog and a husky mix. They are both very social with all other dogs. We like to have a good time here but I keep a very safe environment for the dogs, no fighting or picking on one another. NO DOG IS TURNED AWAY. If you think your dog is aggressive, I can and will evaluate them so that if possible, we will get them socializing with their own kind and having a great time. Thanks, have a good day! I train dogs for a living so I stay at my house 7 days a week besides when I work with clients and those lessons tend to run about an hour but no more than 2 hours! I have 9 years experience running my own kennel and have two dogs with a large fence so there will be no boredom here! I do prefer to kennel dogs for the night but as we get comfortable with each other they will start to earn more freedom! Pet care is my full time job and i wouldn’t have it any other way, it has been a blessing. I hope I can help make your schedule less stressful! While you’re away, let your dogs play! I have a five foot fenced in dog yard specifically for dogs. We also have another 5 acres that we will walk all client dogs on during their stay with us.-

I understand putting your trust in sitters with your babies is difficult, but I ensure that I will do my very best to love and care for them all I can! 🐾🐾 I’m currently out of work, and between high school and college, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals. I also have a car, so I can make trips to the store or vet clinic if necessary. I will spend all of my time in your home with the animals, playing with them if they are friendly or playful, or just being there for them if they’re shy. I make sure they’re fed, have clean litter, and fresh water. I’m also willing to administer any medication you feel comfortable trusting me with.

About: • Most dogs like me (and i like most dogs :)) • All energy levels welcomed • I have raised 4 dogs of my own • Bachelors degree in Veterinary Bioscience • Worked in the veterinary field for the past 4 years • I’m responsible and good at time management • Even with a busy schedule, I will make sure your dog gets the attention he/she needs • No dog intimidates me ( all breeds and sizes are welcome) • I will always have your dogs best interest at heart I have 4 dogs of my own; 2 husky mixes, 1 pittie mix, and 1 beagle. My fiancé and I take care of them together, but much of the day to day things fall onto my plate. So, I have 4 very different dogs with 4 different needs, wants, and energy levels. On top of this, I also work in the veterinary field and have for the past couple years. Taking care of animals is something I literally do 24/7 and absolutely love it. With my personal pets, I make sure that all of them get love every day. Also, I try and get them some type of exercise. Living in Virginia, the weather is the biggest challenge. We go from negative temperature to triple digits within the year. In the times when the weather is being trying, I try and make sure my dogs get more mental exercise to combat the lesser physical exercise. With all that said, I would do the same with a clients pet. I would treat them as my own and give them the best quality care while they are with me.

About: Hi! I'm Heather — a lifelong animal lover who has rarely spent a single day without a dog by my side. I've been caring for dogs my entire life and currently share my home with four dogs of my own — a 9lb Chihuahua, a 9lb Yorkie-Chi mix, a 50lb Lab mix, and a 75lb Red Retriever — plus a cat and some fish. Safe to say animals are my life! After losing a beloved dog who was poorly cared for at a kennel, I became passionate about providing the kind of attentive, loving care that every pet deserves. I know how much trust it takes to hand your fur baby to someone else — and I take that seriously. I'm available for drop in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. I'm comfortable with all sizes and breeds and happy to accommodate cats too. I'll always follow your specific instructions and send plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing. Your pet isn't just a booking to me — they're family. 💙 Pet care isn't something I fit into my routine — it IS my routine. I'm home all day with four dogs of my own, so visiting or caring for your pet fits naturally into my day. I'm available mornings, afternoons and evenings and can be flexible around your schedule. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought — they'll get my full attention during every visit. When I visit your home I treat it with the same respect and care I would want someone to show mine. I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medications, special routines, off-limit areas — nothing is too detailed. I grew up understanding that pets are family members, not just animals, and that the trust you place in someone entering your home is significant. I take that seriously every single time. You'll always receive photos and updates during every visit so you know your baby is happy and well cared for.
About: Friendly sitter with experience with senior pups, cats and chickens. I currently have two wonderful dogs and a handful of chickens. One of our dogs is what we believe is a Foxhound and the other is a Shepherd mix. Both are rescues so we are not sure. I also have experience with cats, parrots (green crowned conure) and various farm animals. Update: I no longer work from home. I am now in Richmond M-F, 8-5. I am happy to stop by during my lunch break to check on your babies in the city. Any other surrounding areas would have to be weekends and not during work hours. Apologies for any inconvenience! I am happy to stop by your home and care for your pets. One of my pups is reactive and we do not want to make her (or your baby) uncomfortable by bringing other pets into our space.
About: Hi! I'm Reis, a dependable and active animal lover with both professional and personal pet care experience. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility where I supervised doggie daycare, monitored group play, and helped ensure dogs stayed safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. This experience taught me how to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight house-sitting and pet-sitting services, caring for pets in their own homes and maintaining their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. As someone with an active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a weekend sitter, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently work a part-time job that allows me to have a lot of flexibility. I am able to work in all of Richmond and surrounding areas as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Through my experience working at a dog daycare facility, overnight house-sitting, and caring for both a senior dog and a young dog of my own, I've learned that every pet has different needs and energy levels. Whether your pet prefers a relaxed walk and extra patience or lots of activity and play, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and feel safe, happy, and loved.
About: I’m a healthcare worker who loves pets! We had 2 Shetland sheepdogs growing up. I have raised 2 chihuahua puppies, and one needed multiple eye surgeries and follow up care. I have consistently sat for and walked friends dogs (multiple at a time). I have taken in a neighbors cats for months after an emergent situation, and my family members have cats a well. No pet too big or too small! I love them all :) I am currently working part time 2-4 days a week so I will have a lot of time to care for your pets! On my off days I’m available any time, especially day time. I can meet your pet care needs! At home we have an open field but also a fenced in area and two small dogs which can play or be separate. I can follow your schedule as far as potty and walks and am able to walk long distances and play! I know some kiddos can be picky eaters like mine so I will happily embrace your pets quirks! No request is too strange and I will not have any problem respecting you or your pets routine.
About: I have been blessed to grow up with a variety of animals in and around my home. I’ve had a variety of dogs that have ranged from 12lbs to 200lbs. I’ve also had cats in the home, as well. I have taken care of the basics of feeding them, giving clean water (daily), maintaining the litter box (as needed) and even giving insulin injections (to both felines and dogs). I’ve trained many of my larger breed dogs and my service dog. Bathing, feeding, walking and not just for my pets, but also friends & family. Since my sweet Bella (pictured) passed I actually have a 20lb Boston Terrier, named Lucy, now. I also live on a farm where we have 3 miniature horses and one thoroughbred big boy. I’m very flexible in my schedule and if I was needed to stay for extended periods of time, my animals would be taken care of. I’ve been on medical disability for 4 1/2yrs now. Other than my appointments I have throughout the week, my only other commitment is the upkeep of my home and taking care of my animals. I would not be bringing clients pets to my home, as it’s a spacious and fenced in yard; however, we have one dog who doesn’t play well with others. In a client’s home, unless asked by the owner, the only thing I would remove from the home (temporarily), would be the pet. I’m very cautious with another’s fur baby; so, I would treat it as my own with love, snuggles and a gentle touch. I’m always aware of my surroundings, especially with something so precious, to another. I’ve always been described as very trustworthy and compassionate, with people, as well as, with their animals. Pampering and maintaining a secure environment for your animal(s), no matter the type or the amount you may have. This way, you know that one of your family members is in the best hands possible while you take a vacation for your own self-care.
“We had a great walk yesterday. Rochelle was great. She walked Prince and handled him very well. She also learned some of our walking routes as well as side streets of Ashland.”

“I have to admit I was very nervous leaving my dog, Zeus with Robin when we went on vacation. However, Robin was great with Zeus. She texted, and sent pictures of Zeus daily. She put all my fears to rest soon after I left, Zeus with her. If you’re looking for someone to give your dog unconditionally love while you’re away, Robin is who I recommend. I know I will be using her services again in the near future. Thank you again, Robin for taking such great care of Zeus while we were away!!!”
“Mark & DJ took great care of our babies. They sent us updates consistently & went the extra mile in checking what was best for both of our dogs. You can tell they have a passion for dogs (and photo skills!). We cant recommend them enough!”
“Kailee was absolutely amazing with my Doberman puppy! She boarded her for 3 days and gave her the best care I could have asked for. Athena came home happy, tired (in the best way), and clearly so well loved. Kailee made sure she got all her energy out with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and treats. Her dogs also gave Athena great company and kept her entertained, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving her. Having two acres of land for the dogs to run and play on was such a huge bonus, it gave Athena so much space to explore and burn energy safely. It’s clear Kailee truly cares about the dogs she watches, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! :)”
“Charissa and Alex took exceptional care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. Not only did she clearly receive a lot of affection, they also provided her with some leash training and made sure she had lots of time for play with other dogs and plenty of time outside (the weather was surprisingly warm for December). They welcomed her to their home like she was one of their own, and we will definitely book with them again when the need arises. Thank you so much!!”
“Wonderful experience ! Heather and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. They were flexible and extended the stay for our dogs when we needed to stay an extra day. The dogs were very happy and enjoyed playing with her little girls. I will definitely request Heather when we board our pups.”
“Milo had a great time! I got so many pictures and videos throughout the day and could tell he was truly in good hands. He is absolutely exhausted from playing all day!”
“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
“Jesse was very friendly and asked great questions to make sure our dog would be well taken care of. He sent us pictures of our pup enjoying his stay which we really appreciated.”
“Michelle was so amazing with our babies. They had a blast. She sent us videos and pictures each day as well as fun fandom daily updates as well which we greatly appreciated. We would recommend her to anyone in need of exceptional pet care. We know we will rebook in the future.”
“I'm so glad to have found Denise. My Luna is a shy girl, but she really enjoyed her stay with Denise. I was glad to receive updates on how she was doing and pictures. It was really great to also have the peace of mind that our baby was in good hands when we were out of town. We'll definitely use Denise again in the future.”
“Highly recommend, we never have to worry about our fur baby! We had pictures and daily updates! Our puppy looked relaxed and could see she was having fun. Every time we have taken Bella to Elizabeth and Denton, she is very relaxed when she comes home. Not stressed out, I could tell the love she received. 💗🐾 Thank you for the love and care🐾”
“We highly recommend Nathan. He made drop off quick and efficient. When our flight home and pickup were delayed he was very understanding and accommodating. Pick up was also quick and efficient and when made sure we didn’t leave anything behind! The large fenced-in space on his property is what dogs dream of, I assume. 🤣”
“Aly dog sat our Charlie boy for a few night and was awesome! Super responsive; sent updates and daily photos of Charlie. Much better experience for our guy vs. boarding at a kennel/boarder. Will absolutely rebook with Aly in the future!”
“Great family atmosphere for our aussie to stay with. Kelsi sent several photos of our girl ha ing a blast running in the yard with her dogs and getting some kid love. We will be happy to let our dog stay with Kelsi again.”
“Amazing!! My pup had a great time. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and be dogs. Wonderful communication so you don’t have to stress while you are away. I won’t be bringing my dog anywhere else.”
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.
“They took care of them very well! We were worried because our dogs have limited human interactions, but she assured us that they were really good. We were very scared putting them in someone else's care but they did above and beyond, especially for the dogs temperaments. Thank you!”
