About: I've been an animal lover and owner of cats and dogs my whole life. While in college, I worked at a veterinarian's office just to be around pets, and it was the most rewarding and fun job I ever had! I lost my beloved Cavalier two years ago and miss him dearly, but I'm not ready to own again. I really miss having a pet companion and have lots of love to share with your pets. I live next door to a park, and our neighborhood is perfect for walking and meeting other pets. My home is spacious and clean with a fenced back yard. I will love and care for your pet as my own!! I am home every day. I like to get outside as much as possible to garden or walk around my neighborhood, so I would love to have a pet companion with me! I have a fenced back yard and a spacious home. I live adjacent to our neighborhood park which is perfect for playing with and walking pets.

“She (and her family) were so awesome! I booked same day and she was so accommodating for the day care. Even though it was only for four hours I got consistent updates and pictures and I wasn't worried for a second about Lucha.”

“I can't say enough good things about Dustin. I met him this morning when I dropped off Blaze, my 4 month old lab. We spent a good amount of time talking as my boy was introduced do some of the other dogs. He answered all my questions, gave me plenty of tips & suggestions for specific situations and things I had planned for the future. He really put me at ease which is saying a lot because I don't have a ton of dog experience. When I picked Blaze up this afternoon Dustin showed me a few videos he took, we talked a bit more about puppies in general, etc - I could go on and on. Suffice it to say it's clear he enjoys working with our furry friends, he's really good at it, and I intend to bring Blaze for more visits soon, maybe some training too.”

“Benjamin loves to spend his day at Janelle's. She is a treasure and one of the best pet sitters that we have found. Benjmain is really looking forward to our next trip to Virginia Beach so he can spend time at her place.”

“Words can't describe how awesome my experience was putting the care of my puppy in Zack's hands. As soon as I drop them off, he felt so at home,and it was clear to see that my puppy will be in good hands!! When picking him up, he was in a great mood! I brought him home, and he fell as straight to sleep. Zach's dogs played so well with Carmelo, and I look forward to setting up another time for him to spend the day with them! I look forward to the next play date Zach's house with his dogs, and I recommend anyone ,who wants their dog to be in great hands to choose him as a handler.”

“Linda is fantastic!! She is a miracle worker with our dog Cloe, who normally isn’t very social and doesn’t eat while we are away. But Linda got her eating and playing with other dogs and she was so happy! We will definitely be going back!”

About: I recently got married and moved to the area. I’m a Virginia tech animal science grad. I have worked in a boarding and daycare facility the past 2 years. I also have some dog training experience from college and in the kennel facility. Upon request I can offer training sessions for your pups. I recently moved to the area and still looking for a job that’s a good fit for me. In the meantime your pups will have all my free time! I have plenty of experience working with all types of dogs, including ones that are nervous greeters, food aggressive, barrier reactivity, leash reactivity and more. I understand every dog is different and will always work to make your dog comfortable in any environment. Big advocate for always having treats on hand and reading their body language at every interaction.

“Melissa is PHENOMENAL!!! A truly caring and dedicated sitter!! She was patient and kind and understands how much our baby means to us. To say she went above and beyond is a huge understatement!! I wish I could hire her full-time! Her baby Pappy is a huge cherry on top!! We are so happy!!”

“This was Bailey's first stay with David. Bailey had a great time playing with David's dogs and another that he was caring for. She came home very tired but happy. We will look to David for future visits when needed.”

About: Hello! My name is Danielle and I've been caring for pets my entire life! I have been raising, training, and pampering my own babies for the past 10 years and providing local services to friends and neighbors. I'm highly experienced with all dog sizes, especially giant breeds (the bigger the better!). I can provide boarding, sitting, training, walking, grooming, specialized feeding, medication administering, and even first-aid if needed. I even have experience with pet hospice care through a local shelter. A little more about me personally: I have 3 dogs, including 2 Great Danes and a Golden Retriever. I also have 3 very demanding cats. So you know I'm well-versed in handling the crazy, and will treat your baby just like my own! Pets are the center of my world and yours will be too. I work from home and can provide round-the-clock care and attention during boarding and daycare. I'm currently working part time and looking for additional pet care opportunities to fill my days, since it's something I truly enjoy doing. I have a large house with gated rooms for separation, medium and giant sized crates if needed, and a large backyard with a 6 foot brand-new fence. The upstairs is gated off for the cats' comfort (and so they can watch and judge from above). In my home, I allow animals on the furniture, unless you wish me to keep up with training that teaches them otherwise. And I have gated feeding areas and an entire pet first-aid cabinet in my kitchen for emergency situations. Water bowls are provided inside and out, and dogs are supervised when outside. In client homes, I like you to set the rules. I'm happy to go about treating your babies as I would in my own home, but if you have specifications you'd like me to follow, I'm more than happy to learn what those are and follow them for your needs.

“Landon is a wonderful pet sitter who took great care of my puppy! Right off the bat when we first met I had a positive first impression. He is super friendly and easy going. I will for sure hire Landon again soon!”

“Monika is the best! I’d never used Rover before and needed a monthly sitter for my puppy ASAP. Monika took great care of Luna, sent lots of pictures & updates, and sent Luna home happy and tired. I cannot recommend her more!”

“Once again, Michelle took great care of our French Bulldog, Daly. She gave us several photos during the time she watched Daly. Michelle really knows how to make her 4-legged visitors feel at home. We were so fortunate to have Michelle take care of Daly again! Thanks, Michelle!”

“Our pup had the best day with Esther! He loved playing in her huge fenced-in yard and socializing with other pups. He is extremely energetic and slept the whole evening after returning home. We are looking forward to continuing daycare with Esther!”

About: Lifelong dog lover with 10+ years of experience from puppy stage to seniors, and medically involved dogs. I’ve trained and cared for many dogs of my own as well as others so I know how to adapt to each dog’s unique personality. For dog sitting, I can guarantee multiple walks a day, all the love, attention and play time your pup needs. Please let me know if your dog should be crated if I need to leave the house or if they are okay to free roam! I work remotely from home so I can spend plenty of time with the pups! I do leave for quick errands and to the gym most days though so please let me know how your pet handles being left alone. I have a two story townhouse house with plenty of space to play inside but also live on a safe dead-end street in Chics beach that allows for great walks and adventures.

“Michele was fantastic and my dog was so happy with her. She responded quickly and sent lots of wonderful updates of my happy dog. Will definitely be seeing her again for all my dog needs!”
