Doggy Day Care Green Acres

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: Ever since I was young animals have played a huge role in my life. From my first dog to the mini zoo I have today. I am familiar with many breeds of dogs and cats as well as reptiles and recognize each one has its own characteristics and personality. Whether it's a walk, play time, or just someone to keep your pet company, I will appreciate and enjoy my time with them. I am a stay at home father of two. I am available most days. I have been working with pets for the past 4 years M-F with the occasional weekend visits. I love what I do and I take pride in my ability to befriend all pets. I believe each and every person has a responsibility, when they take on a pet, to give it the best life with a loving owner. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 lizards, 2 turtles, and 4 fish who all get attention suited to their needs and desires while also being attentive to proper and healthy care.

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and I love all animals! I have experience with health issues and giving dogs medication. My family has trained and raised puppies, and rescued several senior and abused dogs. I also have experience with cats, rodents, and reptiles. I treat every animal I encounter with love, kindness, and patience. I love walking and playing with them, and becoming a friend. I am a recent engineering grad from Penn State, and new to the area. I can give quality love and attention to any animal that is in my care. I have not started my full time position so I am available for care 24/7. I currently live in an apartment with 1 cat. My complex has several dog-friendly areas and a park within walking distance. I will be very attentive and follow any directions left for your pet when they are in my care. Whether it is at my place or yours, I will do my best to treat your dog like family and to make sure they are as happy and comfortable as possible while you are away. If you create your pet, I just ask that you bring their crate as well as any blankets, toys, or treats that might help them feel more comfortable.

About: Hi, I’m Nancy! Dogs have been part of my family and my heart for over 26 years. I currently have 3 small dogs As a devoted dog mom, I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life—from curious 8-week-old puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience, love, and gentle care. I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup enjoys an energetic walk, a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood, or just spending time with someone who truly enjoys their company, I’ll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own dogs. I’m dependable, patient, and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring hands. I’ll always prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness, and I’ll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m joining Rover to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love—spending time with dogs. It would be a privilege to care for your furry family member, and I look forward to meeting you both! I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! I’m currently unemployed, as I’ve just recently moved back to the area, which means I have a lot of availability and a flexible schedule.

About: Hi, I'm Shayree. Need someone to look after your pet for the day? Don't prefer the loud and stressful environment of a commercial daycare and boarding facility? I’ve got you covered! Whether they love to play, nap, or just hang out, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re out. My goal is to give them a stress-free, happy day with plenty of attention, playtime, and love—just like they’d get at home. Drop them off, go about your day, and rest easy knowing they’re in good hands. Let’s make sure your pet has a great day too! Message me if you have any questions or want to set up a visit! My routine of pet care includes walks for exercise, a routine feeding schedule along with playtime and cuddles. I also take time to give the dogs a little extra care by brushing them if they like to be brushed and of course they get to socialize with my Poodle Joey. Caring for pets in my home consists of creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. This includes starting with an initial consultation where we will meet and greet to ensure that my home is a good fit for your pet and to address any specific needs or concerns that you may have. During the meeting I'll gather information about your pets routine, dietary preferences, medical history and behavioral habits.

“Jason was great with our one year old puppy, Odin! We met with Jason and his dogs beforehand and we could already tell that Jason was going to be attentive and good with Odin. His dogs were all great, too! Odin played the day away and we got updates and adorable pics, which were very much appreciated. We will definitely be sending him back! Highly recommend!”

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!

“I needed a special day care/boarding home for my young, tri-pawed dog. The first visit was a day care trial where my dog and Lisa's family and dog were able to really interact to see if this was a good fit. Very professional, patient and works well with my dog. Now, I know where I will be boarding her when I travel. Thank you.”

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life including seniors with medical needs. I currently have an 18-year-old cat who requires daily medication, so I’m very comfortable with administering meds and handling special routines. While I have not walked or sat much for others professionally yet, I bring decades of hands-on experience with my own pets—treating each one like family. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and attention to detail. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, lots of attention, and flexibility with scheduling. I understand how important it is to keep dogs feeling safe, loved, and well cared for while their people are away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, timely care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular check-ins, or extended company, I can usually accommodate last-minute or custom requests. I’m happy to discuss a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s routine! I care for pets with the same attention and respect I give my own. At home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I follow feeding routines, keep fresh water available, and provide enrichment through play, affection, and companionship. My goal is always to help pets feel secure and loved while you're away.

“Best dog sitter ever!”
