“Awesome communication and care for Milo. I got several pics and updates during his daycare time. I’d definitely use Matt again in the future.”
“This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”
“Danielle and Matt were amazing - so responsive and helpful with our dog despite the last minute ask. They kept us updated about how he was doing throughout the day as well which is always appreciated!”
“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”
About: When in the care of my partner and I, pets are enriched and have plenty of opportunity for activity. If your dog enjoys swimming, I can take them to a nearby creek to play. I have a large yard for playing fetch, or just hanging out, and a spunky lab mix that is happy to play tug-o-war. I've always had dogs and cats, and for a short time, pet rats (they're lovely!). I come from a long line of animal lovers and continue that legacy. You can check out my pets’ Instagram at @mystic_whiskers_ I am very attentive to animals and put them at ease so they settle into their home away from home. I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, so I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times unless otherwise communicated. I am in RVA most weekends as well. I have a fenced backyard and a dog and 2 cats. The cats have been around other dogs, and Eddy the dog loves other dogs- he has lots of energy to share!
About: Hi, I’m Leah – your pups new favorite person! As someone who has previously owned/inherited 3 dogs, I know how hard it is to leave your best friend with anyone that’s not you. That’s why I don’t take this responsibility lightly—your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort come first! I grew up with dogs and have spent my life around wagging tails and unconditional love. Whether your pup loves long walks FULL of sniffs, tug-of-war, or just cuddles on cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and at home. I’ve also cared for reactive dogs in the past—including my own—so I really understand how important it is to create a calm, safe space where they can feel secure. I know every pup is different, and I always lead with patience, empathy, and lots of love. Think of me as your dog’s vacation buddy while you're away💕 I work from home and am mostly always home during the evenings. I don’t have meetings too much so I can take your pup out and about as many times as you’d like. I have an apartment but live right beside a green space. I also love taking pups on car rides so happy to take them on hikes or go to the river!

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by precious family pets, and learned to care for them and love on them from a young age. As an adult, I learned about the dedication and attention to detail it takes to care for a senior pet with special needs and medical challenges. I adore animals, and can’t wait to meet yours! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home a few days a week, so I have availability to go for walks during the work day and in the evenings. I have a spacious apartment that’s is very pet friendly. I live near many walking paths, trails and parks and love being outside, so your pet can get lots of exercise.

Willow Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
Reese's stay was amazing with Nicholas and his pup! Our girl is high energy and came home tired and happy. We got pictures of her having her best day both outside playing and inside napping, which we appreciated on this hot summer day. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you!
Nelly loved Allison! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos of my girl. Made my workday much smoother knowing she was in such good hands. Nelly was worn out and slept all the way home. Will definitely be recommending her and requesting her again ☺️
Kristen was extremely flexible last minute but my schedule changed again and did not end up needing the service. Despite the inconvenience to her, she was very professional. I would highly recommend her to others simply for her communication and professionalism.
