“Daisy had a great time with Cassandra and Tradd. She had a fun time playing with noodle and macaroni as well as their two children. Very thankful we found them and absolutely intend on reaching out the next time we are going out of town!”

“Nichole was awesome with my Husky Skye! She was very attentive and kept me updated throughout the day with how she was doing as well as sent pictures! I would recommend her to any of my pet parent friends!”

“Eugene is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! He watched Brinkley for us (2nd time) while we took a quick day trip. Brinkley was so excited to see Eugene when we arrived, and I know he had a fun day. Thanks again, Eugene!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since childhood! Easy going and always around. I have experience with basic obedience training, kennel training, and have cared for aggressive animals. Military family who understand sometimes you can’t be around for your furry friends, and need extra help. I’m currently a SAHM and military wife with extra time, and in need of an outlet. I have two children, and two fur babies - Theo & Evey. They’re are my everyday pals! Looking for regular visitors or occasional drop ins. 🐶🤍 I do have a fenced yard and let the dogs out to play freely. I also am experienced with anxiety ridden dogs as my shepherd is one of them. I can easily crate animals dependent on need. Extremely flexible!🥰
“We were in a bind and needed a last minute pet sitter for our dog. Thankfully Tina was available and was very friendly and great with communication! Thanks again for taking care of our girl!”

“What can I say about Lorraine’s daughters and husband who watched my furbaby yesterday!??!? They were absolutely AMAZING—10/10!!! I was 100 percent at peace after meeting this beautiful family and putting Sophie in their hands! I will definitely be booking with this family again and again!!!!”

“Landon was so helpful when we came to VA Beach to visit family and needed someone to watch our dog in a pinch! He was communicative, responded quickly and really gave us peace of mind that our dog was safe while away from us. Our dog had a BLAST with Landon and came back tired and happy after hours of playing.. always a sign of a good day for a dog. If we’re ever in Virginia Beach again we would definitely utilize Landon!”

“Autumn was really great! She helped my nervous dog decompress, feel comfortable, and stay entertained. She sends photo updates and is very quick to respond to messages. Will definitely go back to her for more services!”

“Cyntra and her family welcomed my dog and he had a great first Rover stay. I will definitely check her availability first next time I need her services. Bodie had a great time. Thanks Cyntra!”

About: B.S. in Pre-veterinary science. Previous intern at an animal hospital and volunteer at a spay and neuter clinic. Currently mom to 2 spayed rescue dogs, 10 and 45 pounds. Stay at home mom with crate trained dogs. Usually my own dogs are in their pen 10pm to 7:45am. Available for dog walking in general 8:00am- 7:30pm. Half of the house sectioned for dogs.

About: Hi, my name is Katie and I'm here to help ease your burden of being away from your fur babies! I am happy to help with boarding and in-home daycare options for dogs under 25 lbs. I'm a lifelong pet owner and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have experience caring for many dog breeds, including shih tzus, beagles, labrador retrievers, poodles and many more! I love all breeds, but am especially obsessed with dachshunds because of my dog Stella! (And our dachshund who crossed the rainbow bridge, Lexi). I also have a 10 year old cat, Sansa, so can only accept dogs who are friendly with cats. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. If you have any questions, please let me know! :) I already have one dog (who loves being around other dogs), so dogs I've boarded in the past have always joined the pack for their stays! The most important part of my job is to make sure your pets are safe and happy, so I am happy to accommodate your pet's preferences.
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.
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
