“Julie was the absolute best! She was able to accommodate our travel schedule with no problem and gave Ziggy a very fun afternoon. We definitely recommend her for any pet stays!”
“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”

“Caroline is very friendly and responsive. She immediately clicked with my mini poodle after their first meeting. She sends great pictures and video updates so you know how your baby is doing throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her for daycare.”

“Matthew provided top notch service for my pup. He was prompt in responding to communication, attentive to Kobe and his mannerisms, and sent updates throughout the day. There’s always this anxiety when i drop my dog off but Matthew put me at ease by providing lots of picture updates throughout the day. Kobe cried in the car on the way home, assuming he had so much fun meeting new furry friends. Will definitely be coming back!”

About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs and cats—as well as my neighbors’ pets—since childhood. I value creating a calm, safe, and enriching experience for every animal. I’m conscientious and detail-oriented, and aim to provide a retreat-like stay for your dog—giving you peace of mind and returning them to you happy and tired! I work from home, which allows me to easily coordinate feedings, walks, playtime, and any necessary medications. I also prefer to spend most of my time at home, so your dog will receive lots of dedicated attention and love! I have a large yard that’s securely fenced in both the front and back, giving your dog plenty of safe space to roam and play. When I’m home, I often leave the back door open so dogs can come and go as they please. I value clear communication and will provide consistent updates. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone else to care for a beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will treat both your pet and your home with the utmost care and respect. I often board several dogs at a time so am only able to accept dogs that are well socialized. I also am not able to accommodate dogs that are not fully house trained or mark inside the home.
“Ariel was absolutely wonderful taking care of Georgie all day! Her own dogs were sweet and well behaved, and Georgie adored being a member of the pack, and playing with her daughter. My absolute highest recommendation!!”

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was a child. I started when I was about 11 years old and grew up in a house of 4 dogs and a cat that I would spend a lot of my free time training. I now have a 6 year old mini dachshund that I spend my time with while working from home. I work from home so I have free time all throughout the week to tend to your pets needs. My work is project based so I can get up and take your pet out however much is needed. I ensure pets feel comfortable by sticking to their routines, providing exercise, and offer quality company. I prioritize cleanliness and safety, keeping their space secure and well-maintained the same way I would my own.
“Pamela and Paul were awesome with Monroe! She is a sensitive dog who felt right at home with a little extra attention. They were flexible with our schedule and accommodating for a late pick up one day. I will definitely use them again- true animal lovers that treat your dog like their own!”

About: Hi there! My name is Gaby and my partner’s name is Sawyer and if you’re looking for someone to love your baby(ies) and treat them like their own - you’ve found the right people! We have both grown up surrounded by pets our whole lives, are currently proud dog parents to two boys, and have yet to come across a pet we aren’t obsessed with. We know how stressful it can be to trust someone with your fur baby so we try to ease any concerns as best we can with constant communication including updates and pictures so you never feel like your pet is too far! 🥰 My partner and I have both taken care of dogs of all kinds, from senior dogs to raising 3+ litters - we’ve seen it all and we’re not worried about getting our paws dirty. Our background with dogs means we are both comfortable administering medication and caring for any special needs. We’ve dealt with gentle giants, high energy pups, cranky senior dogs, and more. On top of that, we have a fenced in backyard for our furry guests to roam around in! I work from home every day so I will be with your pet all day, keeping them constant company! Aside from having the fenced in backyard which they will have access to, we go on at least two walks a day, sometimes a third in the afternoon depending on the heat. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. We have separate floors and rooms so we have more than enough space for crates and to keep dogs separate if needed! We are big snugglers though!!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have watched my own pets, neighbors, and friends pets. You can trust me to love and care for your pets like they are my own! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can care for your pets as needed throughout the day! You can guarantee a lunch time walk if they are interested! :) Willing to provide references! I live in a very pet friendly apartment! I have dog toys and treats to provide as needed as well! Your pups will have everything they need.
“Kevin and Cierra are wonderful. They took great care of my dog. I appreciated all the photo updates I received during her stay. My dog had a blast playing with Sunny in their large fenced yard. Can’t wait to use them again.”

About: I have grown up with a house full of animals my whole life. Dogs have truly been at the center of my universe for as long as I can remember. As I grew up, I became passionate about providing the same love and care for doggos that they had given me my whole life. I have spent years volunteering at the local Humane Society. I served various roles with both cats and dogs and learned to care for animals of all walks of life. I especially loved being both a dog walker and a canine companion because I got to build a trusting relationship with every single dog I met. As a devoted pet owner I understand the struggle to find somebody that you trust with one of your family members. I am devoted to making sure you and your pets feel comfortable and worry-free. I am open to help out in whatever way needed. My schedule is very flexible so I am open during the days, afternoons, and evenings! I treat every pet just like I would treat my own - like family! I believe that every single furry friend deserves nothing but the best of care. I am devoted to ensuring both you and your pets comfort during their stay. In my house, pets are allowed on furniture and will be taken on walks, played with often, and given endless snuggles!
“Ashley took great care of my Facui. She get very nervous in new environments, but Ashley took her in like she was one of her own. Provided numerous photos of playtime. Very flexible and accommodating.”

Willow Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
I’m so grateful that I found them to take care of my old senior dog. He requires medications, a lot of love and attention and he gets exactly what he needs. I get a very happy pup after a long day at work. I’m looking forward to using Natalie for future bookings as I now trust her to take care of my fur baby.

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 ☺️
