Casey and her littles kept my husky sky for almost a week in July and she was AMAZING, she always kept us up to date on sky, sent pictures daily. And the kids left the cutest little card when we had picked sky up! I will definitely be using Casey every time I have to leave town! I didn’t have to worry once that sky was being taken care of and felt at homes (:

Fantastic service. Was very comfortable leaving my pup. Grateful that he extended her visit by a few days. Will absolutely recommend and will continue to use his services when I need to.

Jané did a wonderful job looking after our Australian Shepherd. She was a great communicator and sent multiple doggie updates a day including photographs. Her house has a big backyard that's fully fenced in so there's plenty of room for dogs to run safely. She also took our dog on multiple walks a day. You can tell Jané sincerely cares about animals and she's great at caring for them. I look forward to boarding with her again!

Falin and Dani are great animal lovers. You can tell the moment you meet them. Sammy had a short visit today just to get acquainted. When I picked him up he seemed very happy like he wasn’t ready to leave yet.

Laura is amazing with our puppy. She drops in on her at our home a couple of times a week and most recently had her over for boarding in her home for a few days. She gives great updates and cares for our puppy as her own. We are thankful to have found Laura to care for our puppy!

About: Hi! My name is Alexis, I am 27 years old, and I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up I helped my dad with training his rabbit dogs and attending to their needs while he was at work or etc. I am born and raised in Amherst, VA. I own my own townhouse in Madison Heights. Although, the area is not fenced in there is a nice big yard for your fur-baby to get plenty of exercise and exposure to the sun and fresh air!! There is sidewalks in the neighborhood that makes it easy for taking walks. I am here to care for your fur-baby as you would. I will pet, feed, walk, play, brush attend to your fur-baby's needs. You and your fur-baby will be happy with my services. I do work 40 hours a week from home which allows me to have more time at home to attend to your fur-baby. Your dog/cat will be able to roam freely in the house unless otherwise requested. I do not work weekends, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I can easily crate your dog as needed. All dogs are walked on leashes when we go for walks. I respect your wishes in my home and your home.

Katelyn was fantastic! My other rover sitter had to cancel an hour before I was set to drop Ruger off. Katelyn was fast to respond and extremely accommodating on such short notice. Ruger had a blast playing with her dog and she kept me updated with photos. I couldn't ask for a better rover experience.

Alliyah did a great job with our girls! She’s sweet, professional and knowledgeable. She was on board with doing a meet and greet prior to booking which was a huge help. She’s got two sweet dogs of her own and knows just how to ensure new dogs are best able to acclimate to her home. Definitely recommend!

Amanda is amazing with my dog Asher. She is able to handle just about any situation with my 7 month old GSD who’s about 65 lbs. She has lots of space for dogs to run and kids too. She is kind, caring, and very responsible. I’ve had my dog Asher stay with Amanda for a day, And currently she’s been watching my dog for the entire week. Asher loves staying with her.

Marc and Brittni were great. I was very impressed from the very beginning since the date of the meet and greet. This was the very first time Jax and Saint had been with someone other than family. She sent videos and plenty of pictures. I could see he was in good hands so I was able to enjoy my time with family and friends. Thanks Brittni and Marc for such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend your service and I am sure that Jax will see you again♥️
