House Sitting in Downtown, Hampton, VA

“We cannot say enough good things about Taylor and the exceptional care she provided for our three dogs over the past two weeks. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing they were in capable and loving hands. Taylor kept us updated with frequent pictures, allowing us to see how happy and comfortable our pups were under her care. Beyond her regular duties, Taylor truly went above and beyond when one of our dogs experienced a medical emergency. She acted quickly, coordinated a vet visit, and then provided attentive post-care, ensuring our pup's full recovery. Her professionalism, calm demeanor, and dedication in such a stressful situation were nothing short of remarkable. Taylor is a compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier pet care. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and we would not hesitate to book her again in the future!”

“This was the second time Courtney watched our dogs and I cannot say enough good things about her! She is prompt to reply and always sends the best updates of our dogs with the best pictures! It’s so great to go on a trip without having to worry about the dogs because you know they are in the best care!”

“Tyshaun went above and beyond with helping my pup while she was dealing with IVDD. He had the patience to take care of her when she could barely walk. He also gave my other three pups the attention they needed. I highly recommend Tyshaun.”

“Pamela is probably one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met! Our babies seemed content and happy when we got home and she sent lots of photos! We came home to clean house the way we left it. We will continue to use Pamela when she is available! Thanks for taking care of our babies as if they were your own!!”

“Anna is terrific! We have not used Rover before and were a little hesitant with someone staying in our home when we plan on going on vacation. Several weeks before our trip, Anna Mei came to our house and spent about 2 hours with us and our dogs. That was a great way for us to get to know each other and see how comfortable our dogs were with her and she with our dogs. At her suggestion, we spent one night in a hotel as a trial run while she stayed with our dogs. Everything went really well, and she kept us updated on what was going on. She definitely earned our trust, and we are relieved that we found a reliable sitter for when we are on our vacation. We will definitely request her again. Thanks Anna!”

“Kasey was amazing at updating, sending photos and was very good to my boy. My pup liked him so much when I walked through the door he said "oh its you wheres kasey? Kasey is my new mom now and we're keeping the house"”

Ivy A.

“Cassandra is absolutely amazing! We were nervous leaving our babies for a week and have someone stay at the house. Cassandra met all expectations and more! Extremely communicative, sends lots of photos and videos, treats your babies like her own, and makes you feel calm and peaceful while away. 1000% recommend Cassandra!”

Allie M.

“Nikki was amazing with Bailey. Lots of pics and updates. I could tell he was loving it up and not missing us at all. We were gone for a week. Definitely will use Nikki in the future.”

Crystal H.

“Ashanta was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures of Arthur and kept me informed of things at all times. I have a senior dog and worry a lot, but did not worry at all and was able to concentrate on my work. She is very responsible and conscientious too!”

About: Hi there! I have volunteered at various animal rescues and shelters over the years, and I occasionally foster with the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter. Since childhood, I’ve had a strong affinity for animals and have always sought their companionship. As a fellow pet owner, I understand how stressful it can be to find a trustworthy caregiver. My goal is to ease your concerns. I love what I do, and it’s an honor to be entrusted with your beloved pets and home. I take this responsibility seriously, prioritizing your pets' comfort and safety above all else. I’m home in between dog walking and pet drop-in visits, but never gone for more than a few hours (usually less) at a time. I work from home. I’m generally home for the evening unless I happen to have one or two half hour evening drop in visits or Bible study. Your pet wouldn’t be left alone very much. My dog daycare hours are from 7am- 6pm. If you need extended hours, please consult with me. If you have to drop your dog off for boarding before 6:30am, please schedule to drop your dog off the night before. Pickup for boarding is no later than 9:30pm. While at my home: •Pets always have access to clean filtered water •As a precaution dogs are separated by a secure gate during feeding, including if high value chews are provided •Food bowls are washed before every feeding and the water bowl is washed daily •If your dog requires to be crated at home, please bring your dogs crate so that I may also crate your dog when I’m gone •When I leave my home I use an indoor camera to monitor your pet •I keep all exit doors locked even when I’m home so that a door can’t be pushed open, and the back gate is always locked •Potty trained dogs are allowed on the sofa and to sleep in my king size bed. I also have two dog beds that your dog is free to use. Feel free to bring your dogs own bed if you think they will be more comfortable in their own bed •When I’m gone I leave background noise (radio or tv) on and if I’m gone and it’s dark I leave a light on •They will have access to a big basket of toys. Feel free to bring their favorite toys, or if they tend to destroy toys, please bring their own and some chew toys •I do have a cat who gets along with dogs, as long as the dog is respectful of his space and aggressively chase or bark at him •I don’t keep any food items on the counter or within reach of pets. The cats food and litter box are kept in an area that dogs don’t have access to •Dogs get two long walks daily in addition to multiple potty breaks and an outdoor play with other dogs if they are friendly. I will accommodate even more potty breaks if a dog is potty training ir just needs to go out more often. •Dogs get lots of love, pets, playtime and daily cheese tax! 😄 I also tend to give the dogs organic ground beef or chicken in their food, sometimes a little broccoli and carrots. If you prefer your dog does not partake in bonus food, that’s perfectly fine. Just let me know. •Your dog will be cared for in a clean environment. I keep my home neat and clean. I also do not use toxic cleaners or fragrances (no plug in scents, no harsh chemicals) since I take a more holistic approach. In your home: •I will follow all instructions provided and care for them with the same high standard I would as if they were in my own home (see above) Dog Walking: Provide your dog(s) exercise to maintain their physical health and mental stimulation while adhering to specific instructions from the pet parent regarding routes, avoiding other dogs and/or people and any special needs (like leash pulling or behavior issues). I’m able to walk strong dogs who pull hard.

“Words can’t even express how grateful we are that we found Ashley. She truly cares for pets and it was so relieving to know they were well cared for while we had a trip for a family member in the hospital. It was one less thing to worry about, which is exactly what we needed. She was always at our home several times a day and took time with them giving companionship which was so important to us. Our kids really are thankful for her sending updates about their fay and photos & videos of the pets. It made them smile each time. It’s just so sweet to see how much she cares and helped our family.”

About: I've been around animals my entire life. From volunteering at shelters, working with my local strays, to pet sitting for friends and family, I'm well equipped with the experience needed to care for all manner of furry companions. I am a college student taking online classes, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available for any care at any time Friday-Sunday. As for other parts of the week, I am flexible and would love to discussing scheduling to provide the best care for your pet's needs. I currently have three cats and two dogs. Alongside routine care, they all receive ample play time and cuddles (and perhaps a treat or two.) Tending to them is a natural and fulfilling part of my routine and I love them all dearly. When I get to a client's home, it's important that I take the same thoughtful approach when weaving their animals into my day-to-day schedule. I'll treat them as if they're my own, with attentiveness and care

About: Growing up with border collies, I’ve always been an active dog person. As an adult, I’ve owned an Aussie and a golden, so fetch and long walks are my speciality. Weekend and holidays work best for me. I work full time away from home during the week. I prefer to board dogs over the weekend or holiday to give your dog my fullest attention. I have a fenced in yard with a tall fence and a very friendly 1 year old golden retriever. I have no issues with dogs getting on the furniture and having full access of the house and yard.

About: I mostly took care of the senior dogs and helped giving them all there medicine and making sure they are ok. But also took care of puppies and adult dogs too Right know I do have a job that’s part time so I’m only available on day that I’m off which is Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday but I am always willing to figure out what works for you My parents taught me if it’s not yours don’t touch it and be respectful in someone’s else’s house. But I’m a loving person that has a big heart for dogs

About: I have owned 2 dogs in my life! Very active and love walking so your dog would get a lot of steps and the excerise it needs to stay healthy! I love all types of animals Im in the navy so i would have to be booked in and I would have to check my schedule in advance, dont mind overnight if needed I can crate them if needed but would rather prefer to take care of them at yours. My place is pet friendly and has a lot of grass for them
