Doggy Day Care Great Bridge

“Nichole has been great with Louie. The pictures I get while he is in her care make me feel relieved that my pup is in good hands. The treat cup she sent home with him was such a nice touch.”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover with hands-on experience working at a professional boarding facility for a year, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That experience taught me how to handle everything from high-energy pups to more anxious or shy dogs, always with patience and care. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m available any time, any day, and offer a wide range of services including walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m very reliable and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to help! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I’m available full-time and have a very flexible schedule. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Since I’m available any time, I can accommodate early mornings, late evenings, and last-minute bookings. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they’re always a priority in my schedule. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s routine exactly as instructed. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication if needed. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision at all times. With my experience working at a boarding facility, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and ensuring every pet feels safe and well cared for.

About: Genuinely love and care for fur-babies. Have had a ton of experience with farm animals and domestic with a genuine compassion for all. Looking for ones that absolutely want genuine sincere care for their fur-babies. I'm home full-time and fur-babies have access to a fenced in back yard at all times with the option of indoor anytime as well. Lots of love and attention. Fenced in big back yard with lots of room to explore. Large home to be mischievous inside as well. Tons of love and attention to be given

“Rachel is incredible with our puppy, who I know, is a lot of energy and work! My dog is so excited to come over to Rachel’s house, she’s practically jumping from my arms! I am so grateful for the love and care Rachel provides!”

“As a healthcare worker it is so hard to find doggy daycare for 12+ hour shifts so my poor pup would be alone for most of the day till a neighbor or friend came to help. Then a co worker recommended Rachael! It only took two days of daycare for my puppy to sprint out of my car into her arms. He is so in love with her and from the videos I see I can see why. He has so much fun and gets so much love from her! It has been such a relief knowing I can work my long shifts and not worry about him being alone or needing to go potty, and most of all he’s with someone I can trust! I love picking him up all tuckered out after my long shifts and being able to all go straight to bed without needing to get extra zoomies out!! Needless to say we are booked for the rest of the month and waiting on my next schedule to book more!”

About: My home can offer you the level of care and attention you want for your pet. I’ve always believed dogs shouldn’t just be “checked on”—they deserve attention, interaction, and a sense of comfort while their owners are away. Your pet will be loved on as if he/she were my own. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have raised several from puppies through their senior years, including a rescue, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. My home is very pet-friendly, with a large backyard for play and space to relax. I also have a 5-year-old lab and a young child, so safety is a top priority. I only accept dogs that are gentle and a good fit for a family environment. My goal is simple: to give your pet a safe, calm, and genuinely cared-for place that feels as close to home as possible. I am currently working part-time, so I am home frequently. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods of time. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm available 24/7 unless I am going out of town. I usually work Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 5pm-10pm. I prefer to do a meet and greet before boarding. I cant always accommodate last minute bookings, but don't hesitate to reach out. I have a large fenced in yard, one very playful 5 year old lab, and a friendly toddler. My dog has free rein of the house and yard. When I am home, I leave the back door open so she can come and go as she pleases. When I leave, I can separate the dogs and crate as needed.

“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.”

“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: **Work from Home** **Please message if you have more than 2 dogs for special pricing** I am very much a helicopter mom to all of my fur babies. I will care for yours the exact same as I would my own. Being someone you can trust with your family member while you are at work or away from home is my goal. I have fostered for a trusted animal rescue and screened for potential adopters as well! I work from home so I will have plenty of time to go on walks, play and let them out for potty breaks. I make sure your pup stays on their “at home” schedule to keep them comfy and relaxed during their stay. I have a fenced in yard and a clean home with nothing laying around on the floors. Your baby will have their own space (with or without crate) and will be cared for like they are my own.

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of animals in my time, ranging in all different shapes, sizes, and ages. We have a loving family that's the perfect environment for all animals, all are welcome here I work from home, and spend the majority of days at home all day. I am very grateful and lucky to have a flexible job that allows me plenty of time to care for the variety of animals we have. Our toddler loves to help feed and care for the pets in our home, so everyone gets all the attention they could ever need. We spoil our pets, there's no doubt about it. From special treats and play time, to cuddling and lots of pets and rubs, any animal in my care will receive everything they need and more to feel safe, loved, and cared for.

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.

About: I have had 1-2 dogs in my home for the last 20 years, and have spent hundreds of hours at dog parks, with other pet owners, and learning best pet parenting practices. As a teacher of 25 years, I can roll in my patience, reliability, and flexibility from my career as well as my own pet experiences. I am training my teen daughter to assist me, so, together, we can offer THE best care around the clock. Your dog or cat will appreciate how he or she will be carefully handled whether it's for dog walking, pet sitting, or boarding. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! As a teacher who works 50% of the day teaching online from home, I am only gone a maximum of four hours a day on weekdays and I am off on summers, holidays, and weekends. This allows me to spend a good deal of my time doing something I love: taking care of pets. Now, my teen daughter who wants to become a zoologist is also stepping up to help give every furbaby maximum attention! I spoil dogs, allowing them on couches and in beds; have a large, enclosed porch with lots of doggy lounge areas; live on the Elizabeth River Trail for long dog walks; and am walking distance from a super nice dog park. If sitting them at their home, I am sure to follow all owner instructions and to treat their pets like they were my own to include lots of chats, pets, and snuggles!

“Eric helped us out on short notice and was very responsive throughout the stay. Our dog, Mylo, was well taken care of and all tuckered out when we picked him up🙂 We will definitely reach out again when we are back in the area!”

“Mr. Eugene and his family were absolutely wonderful with my boys! I’m always hesitant regarding people watching them unless I personally know them but my boys were definitely in great hands and I am so happy!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family for many years, providing a safe, loving home while they’re away. My spacious, dog-friendly home and large fenced backyard give pups plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day to provide personalized care, attention, and exercise. On the occasional evening I work, my husband and our two adult sons, who are also dog lovers, help care for your pup. Our resident dog, Graham, is a calm, friendly senior who enjoys other dogs and helps create a relaxed environment. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and treated like part of the family. I am Home during the day and only work occasional weekend evenings from 7:00–11:00 PM. During those times, my husband and adult children are home to help supervise and care for your pup. If I need to run a quick errand, I do have a crate available if your dog is crate-trained and comfortable using one. I follow a structured daily routine that includes playtime, walks, potty breaks, rest periods, and plenty of attention, while always adapting to your dog’s individual needs and schedule. My own dog, Graham, is a well-trained senior who is calm, independent, and very well-behaved. His routine will not interfere with the care and attention your dog receives. Because of my home environment, I do prefer dogs that are house-trained, can comfortably be left alone for short periods if necessary, and have basic manners. My home is spacious, clean, and dog-friendly, providing plenty of room for your pup to relax and play. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time. Please note that I have a large ungated swimming pool, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around a pool and will not attempt to jump in. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I require that dogs: * Be fully house-trained. * Be friendly and social with other dogs. * Have good manners in a group setting. I occasionally host up to three dogs at a time, which is the maximum number I accept. This allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and care. Everyone in my home is an adult, so there are no small children. This creates a calm environment where your dog will receive consistent care, love, and supervision. To ensure the best experience for everyone, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting any new client. This gives us the opportunity to make sure your pup is a great fit for my home and helps everyone feel comfortable before their stay.

“Kobie was GREAT with my baby! I loved getting a video of him settling in within 20 minutes of dropping him off at doggy day care. Jax had a great time with Kobie’s dogs and he was well taken care of!”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many wonderful dogs over the past six years, and I’m committed to making your pup feel safe, loved, and right at home. They’ll be treated like family and can even enjoy some fun playtime with my friendly pug, Brian, who gets along great with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I work from home, which allows me to be available for regular walks, potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. Your dog will have my full attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard and a clean, well-organized home that’s safe and comfortable for your dog. I’ll keep a close eye on them at all times and am happy to share photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you're away
