Ashely is genuinely so great, she always takes the cutest pics i’m so obsessed and has helped me out last minute a few times. Highly recommended, the other week she helped out and my grandfather was telling the dog she couldn’t leave, Ashley thought he was talking to her and offered to help him out. I was crying laughing when he told me but she’s a sweetheart!

Tara is the sweetest. I was able to ask lots of questions and feel very comfortable with what to expect. She loved on my dog before heading out which allowed me to know she was in good hands. Will be booking again for sure.

About: Growing up, I've had a total of 5 dogs in my house ranging from a chihuahua to a chocolate lab. Like many other dog owners, I am a firm believer that my dogs are my children. And no matter how old they get, they are still a puppy. I am also now a mom of 2 cats, who love to play and of course are very sassy. I currently have a flexible work schedule that allows me to look after your pet. Just let me know whenever you need me and I will be there! I am very respectful of your home and property. It is my goal to create a safe space for your pet to feel comfortable and have fun because that is their home, I am just visitor.

Brittni has been a huge help when it comes to looking after my dog! She is reliable, professional, and truly treats my pet as one of her own. My job calls for long hours and being able to rely on her to check on my pet while I’m gone gives me peace of mind.

Jim did a great job walking Eilidh while I was recovering from surgery. He always texted to let me know when he was on his way and was flexible when I needed to adjust times. He even took Eilidh to/home from daycare one day. He gave her a lot of affection and brought her treats (which she loved). I will definitely use Jim again if I have a need.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. Not only did my family own dogs growing up, I volunteered at a shelter in college. Friends, family, and neighbors alike have trusted me to care for their pets. My company allows be to work remote; therefore, pet care fits naturally into my routine. While I might not be in a position to own a dog long term, per care comes naturally to me and is something I enjoy doing. I offer pet care in the clients home. I noticed dogs feel more at ease in their home environment. As long a there is Wi-Fi I can work from my clients house and tend to their pets.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Kate, and I’ve been fortunate to have dogs in my life for nearly all of my 26 years. I’ve owned dogs of many breeds and sizes, including two Golden Retrievers, a Havanese, and two Dachshunds—each bringing their own unique love and personality into my life. I’m originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and now live in Virginia Beach, where I’d love to provide attentive, loving care for your furry family members. I also worked at a dog kennel for three years, where I developed a deep love for animals and gained valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs with different needs and temperaments. I work from home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I truly enjoy engaging dogs with games, exercise, and outdoor adventures. My apartment complex is very dog-friendly with plenty of grassy areas, and First Landing State Park is nearby, offering great trails for walks. Rest assured—your canine family member will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pups attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and my calendar is always kept up to date! Your pet will be in safe, loving hands with me. I closely monitor all animals in my care and make sure they’re comfortable and well looked after. I also enjoy sending photo updates while your dog is with me, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets since I was young doing overnights, potty breaks, feeding, and exercising. I have also grown up with my own dogs and know how important it is to make sure our fur babies are taken care of properly. I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I love going on walks with my personal dog, Kasey, and would love to have any others join with us! If you have a date that you are needing services for, please contact me! Personally, I love when my personal pets can roam the house and lay on furniture, but if you would like me to crate them I can!

Joe has been fantastic. My apartment building is a bit complex to access, but he handled it with ease and followed all instructions. He is reliable, communicative, and always keeps me updated after each walk. We’ll continue using him several times a week: highly recommended!
