“Abby, had great communication with me while our pup was there. She sent me pics which helped put our minds at ease. What sold me on her was that within 5 minutes of me reaching out with our dogs info and request for care she responded back with her address ready to take him immediately. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be using her services!”

“Alison took amazing care of my French Bulldog, J3, while I was at work. J3 can be a little particular—he loves attention, has specific routines, and can be sensitive to heat—but Alison followed all instructions perfectly and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like family, but Alison truly did. Thank you again for being so reliable, loving, and attentive with J3. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”

About: Dogs bring so much joy and purpose to my life, I genuinely love spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 15 years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC. As a dog mom to both a Miniature Schnauzer and a Great Dane, I’m confident handling everything from tiny paws to big personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m happy to work on leash and obedience training and love engaging dogs in mentally stimulating games that keep their minds sharp and tails wagging. Whether your pup needs calm companionship or an active play buddy, I’ll show up with patience, care, and lots of love. I work from home part time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekday care. Because I’m home all day, your dog will have lots of love, attention, and playtime. I enjoy keeping dogs on a consistent routine with regular walks, meals, and play.. structure helps them feel safe and happy! Although my yard isn’t fenced, I always keep dogs leashed during outdoor time to ensure their safety. Inside, my home is spacious and perfect for supervised play and lounging. I live with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having guests around. I’m comfortable crating dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel at home. I prioritize structure, predictability, and lots of affection to make sure every dog in my care feels secure and loved.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a baby. We were always called the zoo house because we had dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, turtles, and of course fish. I now have three of my own 1 crazy 🐶 and 2 🐱! I have watched neighbors dogs to a simple potty break to just hanging out. I am currently not working so what ever you need I am your girl! I do have a dog who loves walking so if that is something yours loves as well let me know! I understand the word safety and I am a fur mama and worry so much when I have to leave my babies. They will be in great hands with me! I will give them all the love in the world🤍🐾

About: I promise you trust, communication, comfortability, and great care! I love pets! I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Skippy! I now own my beautiful mut mix of Lab, Pit and Blood Hound. His name is Maverick! He's 2 and such a loving, happy dude! I currently dog sit my mom's 3 Boston Terriors whenever she needs to go out of town and have been since I was a teenager. I also take in my best friend's older pit bull, Cookie, and her and Maverick get along wonderfully! There's plenty of space to walk dogs around my apartment community, along with a fenced in tennis court area where they can run free! I work full time AT HOME so I'm flexible just looking to make some extra money I work from home Monday through Friday, and am available most weekends, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your doggos! I live in an apartment but it's very dog friendly! I will ensure your dog gets lots of attention and love! I have access to lots of trails, open pet areas, and a fenced in tennis court where they can run free and we can play fetch! My dog is very friendly and has lots of experience around other dogs.

About: Been a pet groomer for over 16 years! I’ve pet sat for clients before. I have also administered insulin to diabetic pets when pet sitting! I work from home so I’m around pretty much all the time. I will take afternoon walks. I like to be outside, in the evenings my family and I will be in the back yard playing. We have a pyrndoodle who Loves to play, we sadly lost our other family dog 3 years ago. We have enjoyed pet sitting. It has helped fill a void. We went this route because we saw how hurt our other dog was and we didn’t want to get a new dog and have the same thing happen to them. This has been a great way for our dog to have fun! I have a fenced in yard. We let our dog out 3-4 times a day, as well as a walk a day to help keep his joints healthy.

“Thank you Michelle! You are awesome with my baby! There are more play dates in the future!”

About: Hi- I'm Rikki… Pearl is my shadow. I’ve delivered her eight puppies & given their shots. I pamper animals with holistic care that leaves them feeling squeaky clean and zen. Doggy CPR certified— when tails stop wagging, I’m the lifesaver ready to jump in with treats, belly rubs, and superpowers. I have extensive experience in senior dog care, ensuring that older pups receive the love, attention, and specialized care they need. Pearl's Palace is like a dog "spa" surrounded by a welcoming community of pet-loving neighbors. From the moment your pup arrives, they’re welcomed like family. Mornings often start with a friendly sniff-and-greet, followed by some outdoor play or a stroll around the neighborhood to stretch those legs. If the weather’s nice, supervised pool time keeps things exciting (and doubles as a workout). Midday brings rest in a shaded spot or inside the home, with fresh water always available. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy a mix of play, cuddle breaks, and light grooming—nail checks, brushing, or a spritz of my handmade lavender-infused conditioner for relaxation and bug protection. Afternoon activities may include fetch, enrichment games, or lounging by the pool while soaking up the sun. Evening winds down with a final potty break, gentle pets, and plenty of praise before pick-up or bedtime, so your dog heads home happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little spoiled. I have a tall privacy fence and a Great Dane to keep your pets company. Walks are regular and so is meeting new dog friends. Instructions for in-home care are followed as specified below.

About: Hi, my name is Arlyn. I am 27 years old and aspiring to be a Registered Nurse. I am born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and moved to Chester, Virginia back in 2011 but now living in Colonial Heights, VA. I am trying to get a little more income to help pay for school tuition, so why not try to make money taking care of furry animals. I'm a dog lover! I've owned 3 dogs previously and understand we want the best for them while we’re away. They are our fur babies after all right? I will make sure to give them lots of play time and walk time as well as sleep time. Making them feel at home and loved. Daily frequent walks are a must as well as play time. Even though you would be away, I wanna make sure they have a great time with me and help them feel less lonely. After all, mi casa es su casa (: Please remember to bring any dog bowls, food, leashes and any toys to make them feel at home and comfortable. In consideration, please bathe your furry one prior to house boarding or daycare. Thank you! Hope to see you soon! With current Covid regulations, I am permanently working from home so I am able to tend to your fur baby’s every need throughout the day. I have a 4 year old female pit bull & a 3 year old male bully that loves to play outside in our large fenced In back yard. They both have a crate that they can be in as well if your dog needs some separation. I can also crate your dog as well if needed.

About: I have been around pets all my life but didn't have my own dog up until 3 years ago. It has been an amazing experience learning how smart and how much personality a dog can have. You can say that properly training my dog has been one of the most rewarding things I have done. Im currently studying on my own for a certification which makes my availability extremely flexible. I can meet most of my clients scheduling needs or we can discuss what works best! I recently just moved to Virginia and haven't brought over my Nala, but we own a home and have a great backyard with a fence where your pupper can enjoy themselves.

Thank you for your time and i cant wait to meet you all soon!

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs my entire 28 years of life! As the youngest of 3, it was always up to me to walk, feed, and train the dogs. I currently have a 5 year old pit/pointer mix and a dachshund mix under a year old! We love going for walks at the river or visiting the dog park in Chester! My wife and I also have 2 cats, meaning our dogs are very active friendly! We love all animals, shape and sizes! We reside in Colonial Heights and have a relatively decent sized fenced in back yard! Our cats are spoiled and have a dedicated room where they can come and go as they please, no dogs allowed! We also have a spare room to accommodate any dogs that may need to be separate for any reasons. Safety is very important to me! In my car I have multiple doggy seatbelts and harnesses dedicated for riding. I look forward to showing your dog or cat to the Daisey Does It way! I truly care for anyone’s pets as my own. I currently work part time while attending part time classes at Brightpoint Community College. I’m home except for a few early mornings, so my availability is pretty open. I can walk dogs or do home visits throughout the day or night. I can also board a dog(s) on most nights throughout the week. I have a relatively large fenced in yard with lots of doggy toys! My wife and I have 2 dogs that love meeting new friends to play with! We also have two cats, they have always been around dogs. We treat all animals as our own. We believe animals are better than people, haha! Our pets are our children, they are allowed on the furniture, and sleep with us as well. We can crate your animal if needed and have a spare room if you’d like your animal separated for any reasons. Our dogs are trained for off leash hikes, but we do walk them around the neighborhood as well. I’d love to take your fur baby to the local river trails even to run off leash in my backyard!

About: I’ve taken care of all of the animals my neighbors and family have had since I was able to walk. Animals mean everything to me I only work part time (and plan to keep it that way) so I’m always available to take care of your animals for you, especially on the weekends and holidays I stay in an apartment without a yard unfortunately, but there are dog parks that I visit often near by and plenty of space inside my home and around the complex for your animal.
