About: I've raised dogs my whole life. I am experienced in crate and obedience training. I have over 10 years of grooming experience. I believe in developing the bond between owners and their canines. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Evening walks range from 30min-1 hr. In house pet care will be dependent on scheduling. I am easily accessible on the app. I have a fenced backyard with enough space to roam free. I have two dogs who are socialized. I am an experienced groomer with a specialty in spitz breeds. I can crate train your dog. I create a safe space that allows your dog to express themselves and will allow me to get a better understanding of your fur friend as well.

“Lyra and Scott (and their kids) are terrific! Our little Sushi clearly had a great time spending the day with them. Throughout the process they were friendly, accommodating and professional. Communication was great, both before and during Sushi’s stay. We were only in Williamsburg for a couple of days on a road trip. But when we come back this way, we will definitely ask them to hang out with Sushi again! Thank you so much, guys! 🐶❤️”

“I’m so glad I found Christene for my dogs! They hadn’t ever been to a doggy day care or boarding before so I was worried how they do. They came home happy and tuckered out! She has a fenced yard and a doggy room (converted from the former garage) that’s awesome for the pups. Thanks Christene!”

“My experience with Maggie pet sitting has been phenomenal! When I became ill Maggie was a life saver. My pet, Bella stayed with Maggie and her family for almost a week and received the best care possible. She sent me pictures and text thoughout Bella's entire stay. I missed Bella, but I never worried about her. Maggie's home has a cute and sweet family pet; also polite, kind engaging children and a great dad. It is the perfect environment for a pet sitter. Bella was not only given great care, but she was loved! Desiree L”

“Storm had a wonderful time with Ciara (and Fitz and Dolly.) Communication was outstanding and we really appreciated Ciara's preparedness as well! She clearly loves animals and was able to provide a fun environment for all her guests!”

“Julissa did a great job. She ran some sprints with my husky outside but also kept in mind the temperature and made sure to keep the sessions short.”

“Liz was amazing, sent pictures of our Lalo while he stayed with here and her husband. Great people highly recommended”

“Tricia was wonderful with our dog while we spent the day at Busch Gardens. She kept in touch throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been around dogs all my life, and have learned how to properly train them through experience and good mentors. I also have watched much of The Dog Whisperer & other training videos online. I’ve seen critiques of Cesar Milan, with people saying he’s unnecessarily enforcing dominance roles; I only support dominance hierarchies to the extent that it helps the dog. If a dog believes they must be in control because they don’t have a good leader, they will be more stressed out which is unfair to the dog. I will never be unnecessarily rough with your pet, but I may do exercises like leash training to remind them that I am in control, and they don’t need to be in extreme protector mode. I have used this experience with success on friends’ and acquaintances’ dogs, as well as my own. He sits for over a minute until I tell him to Come, for example. Our housemate had a dying dog and I was there alongside him helping her care for him until his last moments. I also believe in reincarnation which helps me really see and have extra patience with each dog as I see them as a soul who is here to learn and experience. My husband and I have a relaxed lifestyle that allows us to be home most days other than side jobs and catering shifts on the weekends. We are in the midst of moving a couple hours east of here, albeit very slowly, so if your pup is with us for a while there’s a chance he or she will get to see the rural area of Middlesex VA and interact with some chickens! Both areas are far away from a main highway or there is a good fence. I have two friendly dogs, a Pomeranian and a whippet mix. We let them in and out as they choose, and have a couple acres for them to run and play on. I love going for runs and walks and would happily bring your pup along, depending on his or her energy level. I have a healthy understanding of how to keep a healthy leash contact with the dog, and if need be, I am quite strong if I need to keep the dog from running.

“Monica was a great dog walker for me and my family. She would send me photos from the dog park and keep me updated when at a play date if I couldn’t make it to one. She would fit me in if and when I needed her services. My Brandi and Pugsey love her. I have now moved and miss her dearly, she’s got the most kind and sweetest personality. We love you, Monica. Woof woof! - Brandi and Pugsey”

“Kelsey took exceptional care of my pup. I learned through this that he has some severe separation anxiety that we need to work on and she handled it with absolute grace and kindness. My family was laying my father-in-law to rest the day she watched our pup and she didn’t worry me with updates on his not-so-great behavior and I am immensely grateful. We will work on his manners and then give the Rover app another try. Thank you again to Kelsey and her family!”

“I can’t express how grateful I am to have found Andreia for my beloved pup! It was an absolute delight! I am incredibly grateful for her flexibility and willingness to cater to my ever-changing schedule. Her ability to accommodate my last-minute requests was incredible. She took the time to understand my unique circumstances and seamlessly integrated my pup into their daily routine, providing a safe and stimulating environment for my pup to thrive in. What truly touched my heart was the sincere care and personal attention she gave my Peanut. She kept me updated with adorable pictures of my dog throughout the day, instantly putting my mind at ease knowing Peanut was not only cared for but also loved made all the difference. I was amazed by the genuine affection Andreai showed Peanut and she took the time to understand my dog’s unique needs and made sure he felt safe and comfortable. It was evident that their passion for what they do shines through in every interaction. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy place to leave their furry companions. They truly exceeded my expectations, and Peanut can’t wait to go back!”
