Dog Walking in Elizabeth City

About: Military member and full-time humane society volunteer with a safe home and a love for pets. We have a 4 and 7 yr old child. Fenced in yard and my spouse or I are ALWAYS home. Plenty of space to roam the house and a nice neighborhood to go for walks in (with a dog park). Your best friend will be able to roam freely inside my home and relax. Our little best friends only have a short time on this earth and I strive to make it the BEST one they can possibly experience! Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns at any hour of the day. I am very responsive via text. I understand parting with your pet is hard so expect for me to send picture updates on your little one while they are in my care to give you some peace of mind. You can also text me at anytime, day or night, to request additional updates as well. If your pet has special needs and requires special attention and patience, please don't hesitate to contact me. I hope to earn the trust of you and your pets through the love and compassion I have to offer. See you all soon! I work 2-3 days a week. Spouse is a stay at home mother. One of us is always at home and available to give your fur baby all of the attention that they need! Trustworthy military member (20 yrs of active-duty service). We can provide care in our home or come to you. I also work as a full-time volunteer for Chesapeake Humane Society helping with dog care team and enrichment.

About: With my experience in the animal field and caring for dogs personally and professionally (as a certified veterinary assistant), I know how to care for your pet. I am compassionate about every encounter I have with an animal & I will always treat them as if they were my own. My current availability all depends on my personal pet sitting schedule, as well as my side job. Some seasons are slower where I can fit in new clients easily, while other seasons I get booked up very fast. One thing I make sure is to not overbook myself so each client gets the attention & care they deserve. Being intentional and consistent is what I always strive for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, which is why I am honest, truth-worthy & genuinely care for the health & safety of all animals.

“Delaney arrived promptly and Banks was happy to go on a walk with her! Will definitely recommend her to our family and friends!”

About: For all my life I’ve always enjoyed taking care and helping animals. Whether it be a wild bird or baby rabbit to a domestic dog, cat, or parrot to animals such as a chicken or a horse. I have many years of experience with many different animals, breeds, species, etc. I tend to be very organized, clean, and tidy. I also hold to a schedule. Whatever it may be, I will try to accommodate the best I can. Pet care works very well with me being retired and available at the owners need for their companion. Whether it be Daily or weekly or monthly whatever is needed, I will accommodate. I will be able to watch and tend to your pet in your home or your yard or neighborhood. I have the convenience of traveling where I need to be.

“Thank you!”

About: I have a wide variety of pet experience. From difficult dogs to amazing chickens, ducks and chincillas. I am comfortable around multiple pets, always following owners instructions I enjoy being around animals and spend time playing. I understand owners and their concerns about their babies. Pictures are sent almost daily to owners. Exactly the way they instruct me to. Fed and walked as discussed with owners. Contact information always taken. Photo updates. Cameras are not a problem. Just asking not to post if I am singing and dancing with your pet. Lol

About: I have been a babysitter for over 20 years. Most of the families I worked with had pets, dogs or cats. I have had cats of my own over the years but now I help my mom take care of her 2 dogs. I recently moved to Newport News so I have a completely open schedule. I am already cooking fresh food for my mom's dogs and walking them regularly. Come join us. I prepare meals for my mom's dogs weekly. I research foods they can and cannot have to make sure they are happy and healthy. I also walk them 3 times a day minimum. There is a dog park on the premises but they mostly just sniff around :).

“Christianna is awesome! She picked up 2 walks for me last minute & my puppy loved her! Will definitely be using her services in the future!”

About: I grew up on a farm in Ohio taking care of all sorts of animals. Being a Dog Mom myself I know the daily stress and worries that come through your head while you're busy days take over your schedule. We make bath time fun, or at least try our best! Every dog has their own personalities and needs throughout the day- am here for them and you! My constant goal is to provide the security to you and fun to your fur babes at any time because I understand life isn't 9-5 and your needs cant be confined. I have an open yard and an open floor plan house for all the zoomie needs. We are a walkable distance to the Experimental forest for short or long winded walks. I have space for crates and a large crate for use if needed. My babe Zoe will keep great company to your pet and share all of her toys. Your pet will be so loved however you want to utilize my service opportunities!

About: I've been an animal lover all of my life. I had cats for most of my childhood and early adulthood. They were my best buddies who cuddled and slept with me, as well as posed for drawings and paintings. About 18 years ago I adopted a pit mix, named Humble. He was the most gentle giant you could ever meet. He accompanied me on camping and hiking trips in Maine. He passed away a few years ago. Now I'm the lucky mom of a rescue dog named Chance. He is an 8 year old undetermined breed. He may be a Doxie mixed with Papillion. I rescued him from the streets of China. I was working as an ESL teacher in Shenzhen,China at the time. He is one of my best friends and I spoil him with lots of love, treats and walks. I am a certified yoga teacher, artist and pet care provider. I started out pet sitting as a side business to earn some extra money, but it has become so much more than that. It is such a rewarding job and a great honor to care for so many beautiful animals! I will take great care of your fur babies and your home. You can have peace of mind with me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I am usually available most week days and weekends ( except the ones marked off my calendar), for house sitting and drop in visits. I can walk your dogs and keep the house and yard picked up during my stays. I will spoil your pets with lots of love and attention Safety is always my first priority. I never leave pets unattended outside, make sure harnesses and collars are secure during walks, and never feed them anything but their food. I will give them your treats if you give me permission. I also make sure the floors and rugs if the home are kept clean and that their is nothing dangerous around that they could eat .. I am Extra careful!

About: I am hard working and animal loving. I have worked at a vet hospital as a kennel keeper and boarder tech. I love the companionship of any and all animals! I have been caring for homes and pets for many years! I am fairly flexible when it comes to watching your fur babies. I would love to get to meet your little furbaby and become their new best friend! I am able to spend more time with them on the weekends. I have the availability to check in on pets before work, after work, and after dinner. I am fairly flexible on the weekends. I try my very best to accommodate for the needs of your fur baby. Because of my pets I do not offer in home pet sitting. While caring for your pet in your home it makes the pet more comfortable and puts less stress on them being in a new place.

About: I’ve taken care of quite a few of close friends pets. Cats, Dogs, etc. I have such a big heart for all animals. I hope I can be a great fit for you and your family members.🐶🐱 I’m currently working part time. Looking to stay busy and do something I love! Pets are the best additions to our families and I find it very important to keep them feeling loved and occupied! I have a fenced in back yard, I keep them fed (3 times a day) , teach them tricks, give a ton of cuddles, and care for their every need to the best of my ability!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 10 years! I’m able to do anything to make your fur baby feel loved and secure with me while you’re gone! I work part time 4pm-8pm Monday-Friday! So I’m available all day before then and after I get out at 8pm! Also can be available if needed more! Very flexible! I will care for them however you specify your needs are! Willing to do anything to make them apart of my home or give them the same care as you in your home!

About: I got my first pup, Chester, when I was 9. He and I quickly became close and eventually I convinced my mom to let him sleep in my room permanently. Joining the military and moving out of my parents house meant I had to leave Chester behind, so I started fostering pups here and there until I was forced to move again. Settling in Virginia, my husband and I got Beaux. Beaux filled a gap in my heart. A couple months later, we decided Beaux needed a friend, so we fostered and then adopted Milo from a nearby shelter. Our hearts were full, but not complete. We knew we were missing a tiny piece. This resulted in us getting Maya, our little lady. Hearts content, we decided we needed a bigger place to live with a yard and moved town to E-City. Each of my pups has had individual wants and needs, and after 14 years you kinda get a feel for it. Each pup is special and unique, and I will aim to make your pup feel that way too while you’re away I currently work full time and part time, so providing care for your pets would be based on availability from both jobs and weekends. I am always available weekend afternoons and some weekdays here and there. Rest assured, your pups will always be attended to and given great care. Having experience in crate training 4 pups, I know the importance of “out of jail” free time. In taking care of your pups, I will make their free time a pleasurable one, making sure all their needs are met and their hearts are full and happy

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life! I grew up with two dogs who sadly past years ago. I had hamsters as well!! Now, I have my best friend Cat Stevens who I adopted in 2019 at an open house for my old high school! I currently have all the free time in the world to look after your fuzzy friends! I love to help dog sit! Being able to create a bond with your fur babies is something that I love to do! I love to play with animals! Playing fetch with your pups is always so fun. Seeing them happy and loved is always so rewarding! Bonding with new fuzzy friends always makes my heart grow three times bigger!!

“Samantha responded to my request less than 30 min. My dogs didn't know she was showing up and on their first meeting both of my dogs started wagging their tails and greeted her with love and Samantha instantly returned the love even before I was seen. Lol. This immediately told me how she would be with my babies. They loved her and felt very comfortable. I'm glad I chose Samantha to help care for my babies. She has a great attitude and lots of love to give. She made my babies smile! That is very important to me. When I need care again, she will be my first pick. ?. Thank you very much Samantha!”

About: I have had numerous pets over the years and been given the opportunity to pet sit and even farm sit for family members. I have experience with large dog breeds such as great danes. My family used to foster kittens from bottle fed to 10-15 weeks old and I loved every second of it. I dream of one day opening an animal rescue or sanctuary to help those in need and without shelter. I am a full time student so when my classes are out I sometimes walk around the downtown area and pet care or walking will fit perfectly into my schedule in this aspect. I come home after my schedule and immediately play with my pets and make sure they are feeling great and healthy. My three cats and one dog love coming in the backyard with me especially when I am gardening they spend time with me and I enjoy just being outside with them. Besides that I enjoy taking my dog on walks every so often around our block. I will always take care of your pets how I would mine! I am a better safe than sorry person so I will always ask more questions than not just to be safe!

About: I've cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life from my own animals to my friends and families. I always was the first of my siblings to volunteer to help feed, walk, watch over, bathe, and learn about animals and it's since been a passion of mine. I work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets in my free time. I the sweetest cat,Olly, so I definitely get creative with indoor/outdoor activities. I have a variety of cat toys that your animal will have access to (depending on your preferences), puzzles and home made interactive games so your pup will constantly be entertained and hopefully tuckered out when returning home!
