About: I grew up on a farm where I cared for upwards of 20+ family dogs (of all ages, sizes, and demeanors), many cats, horses, miniature ponies, chickens, and more. If it has four legs, chances are I have probably cared for one at least once in my lifetime. Our house always had at least three or four dogs at a time, so I am well versed in the art of managing multiple strong personalities at once. My first dog I adopted myself was special needs beagle, and I am very comfortable with assisting with dogs who have higher needs. That beagle lived a long happy life before he crossed that rainbow bridge, and I've just welcomed in a bloodhound puppy about a year ago named Gus. He is a wonderful testament to the hard work my partner and I have dedicated to turning him into a good dog, and he plays well with any dog he meets, no matter if they play rough or gentle, or if they're timid or chaotic. I am also a registered nurse and I am a quick study to any health needs your pet may have. I am local to the OBX and have many different options up my sleeve when it comes to keeping your pup entertained and active during our time together, as well as knowledge of where to avoid so that your pup doesn't end up with any sand spurs. I've handled dogs all my life, and have yet to meet a dog who challenged me (even aggressive ones who had run off previous sitters). I look forward to hearing about you and your pups needs and providing attention to detail and rounded care to your dog as if they were my own. I work as a middle school nurse from the second week in August to the first week in June. My summers allow me to have open availability to serve the pet owner community. If you have pet care needs during the school year, I do have availability on weekends, or after 4pm on week days. I intend to treat the dogs I care for as my own, so the structure I follow mirrors how I work with my own dog. Dogs get potty breaks and brief walks at minimum every three hours, more often if the weather is good. Once or twice a day (weather permitting) I go for what I call "a big romp" -- this can be running and playing fetch on a small private soundside beach within my neighborhood, a walk on the big beach, a visit to the dog park (which would only happen if owner and I have discussed this), a stroll through Nags Head Woods or around the Wright Brother's monument. As we move into summer, these activities will be limited by the heat so I tend to do these early in the day or at sunset/dusk to avoid dogs overheating. I always carry with me some treats and a bottle of water for the doggo. If the weather is poor or it's just too hot for larger scale activities, I like to invoke puzzle toys, treats wrapped up in towels, or burying treats and toys in the dig pit I've built in my back yard.

About: I have cared for dogs, as well as all kinds of other animals my entire life! I have a 3 year old Pitt mix named Sophie who is absolutely precious and LOVES other dogs. I work in the husbandry department at the aquarium so I am comfortable with all animals including fish, reptiles, spiders, etc. ❤️ I currently work full time, with Fridays and Saturdays off. I am available after 5pm Sunday-Thursday with full availability on my days off. I am flexible with last minute requests as well I will care for your pups in your home by doing absolutely anything you request. I can crate dogs, or do anything that the owner would like! My dog is very spoiled and gets the best care possible.

About: Hi, I’m Yanna! I’m a local OBX babysitter, and a big part of my work is being someone families can trust in their homes. Along with caring for children, I’ve also cared for pets during house sits and vacation stays, so I’m very comfortable following routines, respecting someone’s space, and keeping pets cared for while their family is away. I have four dogs at home, so I’m used to the everyday things that come with pet care — feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up, keeping an eye on behavior, and giving lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow detailed notes and send photo updates so you feel comfortable while you’re gone. My schedule is created by me, so I’m able to plan ahead and make sure I have more than enough time for the pets I care for. Since I work as a local babysitter and house sitter, I’m used to managing my own bookings and only accepting jobs when I know I can fully commit. During house sits, drop-ins, or walks, I always make sure there is enough time for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, updates, and anything else your pet needs. I’m very respectful of each family’s home and each pet’s routine. During visits or house sits, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, crates, medication reminders, doors/gates, and any house rules. I like detailed notes and will always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Jenna communicated well, was on time and professional! Would book her again”

“Olivia was great doing drop-in’s for our cats! She did a FaceTime with me before since we lived further away and sent text updates and took some cute cat photos. She also grabbed our package that was left outside, without being asked. Overall was reliable and easy to work with!”

About: I grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I was also a ranch hand in Colorado which taught me extensive knowledge of taking care of outdoor animals. I'm very comfortable giving medications! I'm currently working full time at a property management company and they are flexible with any of my scheduling needs. I'm available to ahere to strict schedules. I will not be available to house your pet in my home, my cat is not friendly with other animals. I can make as many visits or stay at your home as needed.

“We had to cut short our trip so Emily only had 2 visits to Molly but she kept us informed on how she was doing during that short time and Molly didn’t even miss us. I’m hoping Emily will be free when our trip is rescheduled but I hope she will be able to spend a little more time on the visit duration especially after the first few days when Molly will probably be looking for company and hugs.”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals basically my entire life. I always had a family dog in my childhood home. My friends, family, neighbors, and strangers (who later on became friends) have relied on me for care for their animals!! I’m currently working full time M-F but am always done at 5, work remote 3 days a week and I am always off the weekends. I live pretty centralized so I am pretty flexible and available! I can provide some LOCAL excellent references as well. Please reach out :) I also make sure there is a leash on the dog or fenced in area before the dog goes outside/the door is opened in order for the dogs safety.

About: My family member, Sandy, was an adopted mixed german shepherd labrador retriever mutt, and a very large dog of mine for 13 years before her recent passing. I am a volunteer EMT for Virginia Beach EMS running rescue out of Princess Anne Courthouse for 3 years now. During the summer, I am a lifeguard supervisor employed by Virginia Beach EMS at Sandbridge Beach, in charge of 54 lifeguards and the safety of patrons for 4 miles of beach (I know a thing or two about watching people and making sure they are safe!). I am also a recent graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and hope to pursue a career in medicine. I am passionate about physical fitness! Having to uphold a strict standard of fitness while being a midshipman in VMI Naval ROTC has made me love outdoor recreation and especially long walks and runs wherever I can. Being Virginia Beach born and raised, I love the water and mostly surf in my free time or spend time with my family & friends by the water. I am currently not working and am only studying to take the MCAT (for medical school admissions), so I have plenty of free time aside from studying to have fun taking care of any furry family members. My home is completely fenced off and I have plenty of backyard for running! The tile flooring in my home makes it scratch proof and cools off any dog who lays on it.

“Brandi’s communication was amazing, she scheduled a video chat prior to the drop in and was extremely flexible with my schedule. Due to my own stupid scheduling SNAFU she didn’t have a chance to drop in on the dogs but I would happily schedule with her again. I really appreciated her communication and would definitely book with her next time I’m in the area.”

About: Growing up, I've cared for dogs of all breeds. Given how much I actually enjoy what I do, I never think of it as a job. With reliable, thoughtful care, friendly and trustworthy customer service, I put people and their pets at ease. Offer pet sitting and care services in the comfort of the client's home, such as feedings and check-ins throughout the working day, cleaning of the litter box, kennel, and cage, overnight care, and long-term care during vacation. I work from 7a.m - 3p.m Monday through Friday. I am always free on the weekends and have holidays off. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced back yard for fur babies to play but I do prefer to take them to the park. I will communicate with the owners if they have specific rules/regulations and schedules for their fur babies so I can continue to abide by them.

About: Hi there! I provide excellent pet care service in VA Beach area. I am also willing to travel to cities within a 30 mile radius. A little about myself: I am a 2x alumni from East Carolina University. I received my Masters in Communication in 2017 and am currently working as a Producer. I absolutely love animals. I currently do not have fur babies of my own at this time because I do travel for my job. I am willing to walk animals on a daily basis. I am also willing to board pets in my home. I also do not mind traveling to your home to watch your pets. I have several years of pet care/ house-sitting experience but do not have much experience with grooming animals. I love going for long walks and taking pups to the beach. Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions! I work hybrid - 2 days in the office (Williamsburg) and 3 days remotely, and travel often for a work. I keep my calendar up to date. I’m happy to board your pet in my home. I live right next to the beach. I am also happy to travel to your home. I prefer to always have a meet and greet if possible so the pup is comfortable with me.
