Pet Sitting Fort Story

“We worked with Kelly for over a year. She was incredibly consistent with excellent communication. She was always accommodating to our changes and there was never an issue with her handling both of my dogs. She even helped in an emergency situation when I was away. Unfortunately, she moved out of our area but she will be a blessing for any pet needs in her new location.”

“I booked Emily for a long stretch and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my kitty with her. She left my place clean and I returned to a happy and healthy kitty. Very kind and accommodating.”

Cassidy D.

“Thank you so much madeleine for your excellent care of our high energy dog! Reliable and great communication!”

“Dorothy is VERY happy now that I’m home, she’s been yelling at me any time I’m not holding her. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby! Cordillia is very sweet, and gave a lot of love to Dottie. I’m sure she will give your fur babies just as much love!”

Alexandra S.

“Brittany is amazing! She really puts me at ease when I have to leave my fur babies. She is super communicative, timely and understanding of my dogs’ needs. I will continue to book her as she is knowledgeable and very caring when it comes to all pets. Highly recommend!!”

Tea C.

“Kylie was awesome with our pets! She made time to come by beforehand to meet all of them and make sure she knew where everything was. We got pictures and updates with each visit to let us know what was going on and she communicated any issues or concerns. You can tell she really cares about the animals she’s watching and pays attention to their needs.”

Ivana C.

“Ashley is fantastic!!! The dogs absolutely love her! She took the time to meet the dogs first, which was amazing because one of the dogs needs that. It’s easy to see that she cares deeply for dogs!”

About: Since middle school I have dog walked, house/pet sat, and cared for animals. it is my FAVORITE gig. The last 4 years I have cat-sat from January-April for a kitty who just this year moved south, so I have been missing the animal love. My family has always had cats and dogs, and I’ve cared for deaf dogs, dogs of every size, and cats for years. I have been told that when I leave a house sitting gig, the animals are very calm and relaxed when their parents arrive home. I am currently a full-time student doing an internship locally. I will have various availability but look forward to making sure I meet your scheduling needs! I travel occasionally on weekends as well. Nights and early mornings are my most accessible time. However you care for your animals at home I will do my best to do the same! Whatever they need and are allowed I am willing to work with (:

“Thank you so much Tamar for being so reliable and so good to our puppy!!! You're a huge help!”

About: I have grown up with a mix of big and little dogs my whole life. I am comfortable with up to four dogs at a time. Comfortable with puppies and dogs with lots of energy. I'm currently taking classes at TCC. I work at a restaurant at the oceanfront at night. And I tend to split up my time between Norfolk and Virginia Beach pretty evenly. But I love animals, and I'm so happy to help people take care of them. I’ve grown up with a variety of animals, including reptiles. I feel comfortable with almost any animal. And I have no fear. I’ve also grown up with some special-needs animals like diabetic cats and stuff like that.

“Will always be reaching out to Kelly first whenever I’m in need!”

“Shannon did a great job with my dog. She promptly informed me how the visit went after each visit. Very friendly and scheduling was easy.”

About: Hi, I’m Wendy. I’ve been a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, currently sharing my home with Dennis, a senior Pom Chi rescue with a big personality and a gentle heart. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with very different temperaments — from a spirited Australian Cattle Dog to an independent Shiba Inu — and I’ve learned how to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and pace. I believe in meeting dogs where they are — some need space and quiet, others thrive on play and routine. I’m patient, calm, and intuitive, and I take pride in making dogs feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. Whether that means slow walks for seniors, time to explore, or simply good company, I make sure every dog feels secure and happy. Our home is a calm, pet-focused environment, and between my husband and me, dogs enjoy consistent companionship and attentive care throughout the day. Friends describe me as reliable, detail-oriented, and steady under pressure — the person they trust when they need someone responsible to look after their pets. If you’re looking for someone experienced, kind, and committed to your dog’s well-being, I’d love to help. Dennis would agree — dogs make life better. I currently have a flexible schedule as does my husband so your pet will have consistent companionship. I take pride in being dependable and responsive, and I love spending my time doing something that brings me joy — caring for dogs. I live at the Virginia Beach oceanfront, with the feeder road just outside my door — a quiet, safe stretch that’s perfect for long, relaxing walks. Dogs in my care enjoy a calm, comfortable home environment, plenty of outdoor time, and lots of attention. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, because I know how much peace of mind it brings to see your dog happy and well cared for

About: I am my neighborhood's resident dog lover and have known every dog in the neighborhood by name since I can remember! In 2020, I finally got my own two dogs, Teddy and Lily, and started house sitting and dog walking for other dogs in the neighborhood. I have never loved anyone more than my dogs, and I feel the same way about all of the other dogs I care for. I would be delighted to give your dog my full love and attention when you are away! I have a very flexible work from home schedule, so your dog would be my first priority! I rarely leave the house when I am dog sitting. I am experienced with walking dogs both on leash and off leash, depending on the needs of the dog and the environment. I am used to spending virtually all day at my clients' homes and only leave for very short periods of time.

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for the past 8 years, and I’m also a cat owner myself. I really enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time but have gaps in my day where I can check on your fur babies and make sure they are thriving in their home. I can pick up on behavior quickly and would love to take care of them in an environment they know and already love. I would love to meet them ahead of time to establish trust.

About: I provide compassionate and trustworthy pet care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Your fur baby’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority I know how important it is to feel at peace when leaving your pet, and I’m here to help with that. I currently have free full time availability as I am taking online college classes, I am available anyday anytime Monday-Sunday to help love and care for your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, make sure they always have fresh water, give medications if needed, and keep their space clean. (I used to work in a veterinary office.) I spend quality time with them through walks, playtime, and gentle attention so they don’t feel lonely or stressed. I also watch closely for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates to the owner so they feel at ease.

“Ezgi is kind, responsible, and took great care of my cat, Fable, while we were out of town on short notice! She left my home clean, Fable happy and well-cared for, and Ezgi was responsive and easy to communicate with. I’d recommend her :)”

Kaylie T.

“Laulie was great! She kept me updated on everything, sent lots of pics and let me know if there were any concerns. I would highly recommend her, and hope she will come back in the future!”

About: Animals have been apart of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I’ve found that I have a huge connection and love for all animals, but especially dogs, meaning your pet will be in great hands! I live extremely close to the beach and state park, allowing me to take your dog on fun walks and trips. These little adventures give the dog new spaces to explore, while also releasing some energy. I am a college student however, my schedule is very flexible. We can always discuss specific times and duties further. I’m open to preparing a more organized schedule, creating a perfect plan for both parties! My pets have brought so much joy and love to my life and I will strive to provide and care for your animals like they were my own.

About: Currently living in a place that doesnt accept pets, so I live vicariously through my friends! I’ve had cats and dogs most of my life, and take care of fur babies when my friends are out of town. My specialty lies in taking extra care to clean bowls and litter boxes, and tidy up the space as needed. I am a stay at home mom of 3 who can be available most days/times within reason of school and appointments. My schedule is very flexible and I am happy to accommodate as needed. I will always greet your pet as I would any loved one, taking care to make them feel loved on and cherished. I will feed, water, and check/clean litter boxes as well as any dirty bowls and feeding space. I am happy to walk dogs and crate as needed per instructions
