About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years, pets are my passion! I am also a former Petshotel and Doggie Day Camp Manager for a national chain and have extensive experience handling dogs, cats, and small pets of all sizes and breeds. I am currently accepting small and medium sized dogs for in house day care and overnight stays. I specialize in small and delicate breed types, not usually suited for kenneling or vet boarding. All fur babies will be treated as family members while here! They can sit on the couch, sleep on the bed, and watch TV with us just like at home. Some larger "gentle giants" can be considered on a case by case basis, just reach out. I believe pets are family! All pets in my care are treated with loving and gentle guidance using only positive reinforcement. All dogs will remain on leash the entirety of their walk. We have a fenced in area off the back patio for bathroom breaks with wood chips as ground coverage. No grass of any kind for the safety of those pets with grass and skin allergies.

“Lindy was great with my cat! She was so conscientious and came up with great ideas to make my cat (thereby me) happier. She was great about keeping in contact with me each and every day, sending photos of my baby. I knew she was in great hands.”

“Abigail was amazing with my cat Felix. He took to her very quickly and she was there every day to make sure he had fresh food and water. She also got in some play time with him, which I was very appreciative of. She was very responsive and always sent pics. I highly recommend her!”

“Great communicator! Thanks for letting out our pup!”

“Jessica was wonderful caring for our new kitten! Will definitely ask her to help again. She did everything I asked, was respectful of my home, communicated very well, and the kitten loved her! Thank you, Jessica!”

“Kyle and Meagan are absolutely delightful! They were very attentive and dedicated to making my pets comfy while I was away. Lots of updates and adorable picture daily. A+”

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.

“Veronica has been so amazing! I can really tell that she cares for animals and has really went out of her way to send pictures of cuddles and walks when she visits!”

“Phillip adores he5”

“Hannah is such a pleasure to be around. She has such a soft sweet demeanor. She took great care of my dog. I was able to see her play with him and love on him. I was knew I was leaving him in the best care!”

“Nora is an extremely responsible adult that has a love for dogs. I have left my dog with her on many occasions and knew he was in safe hands. Her boyfriend has a dog that she has taken in as her own and it is the most cared for dog I’ve ever seen. She is always on-time no matter what and once she takes on a job she does it full force. I would not only recommend for hire but also insist that hiring her is in the companies best interest. There will be no problems that come with hiring her and she’s the best for the job.”

“Tamara was amazing in a really stressful situation with our pup when he ran outside and hid from her. She was communicative, found a solution, and ensured they were safe and home quickly. We are so thankful knowing she cares for our dogs like they were her own!”

About: I grew up surrounded by all sizes of dogs since I was 2. I have had 2 dogs of my own, a border collie and collie/poodle mix, as well as 1 cat! I love all animals and would love nothing more than to spend all my free time with them! I have a very flexible work schedule and am able to work from home a couple of days a week! I will have a lot of time to fit your needs into my schedule! I understand what it is like to let strangers into your home to take care of your pets and will do everything I can to make your and your friend feel comfortable. I love to take long walks, throw balls for hours, go for runs and spend time cuddling with tour furry friends. I would be happy to take care of your pet along or if you would like a friend to bring my dog along as well!

“Great service Nina loved her I would definitely recommend”

“Kim took care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation and she did a great job! She is a true animal-lover and she texted frequently to tell us how they were doing. I couldn’t have asked for better care for them and I will definitely contact her again.”

About: I've worked with dogs and cats professionally for over seven years now and also have experience with training. I love getting to know each dog and learning what they like best, whether that’s a quiet walk in the park or some snuggles on the couch and fetch in the backyard. I have experience with all types of dogs and always treat them as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time so that will give me plenty of time to play with your pups! I’d love to gain regular clients that I can provide reliability for. I always work to ensure they safety of your pet and would love to know what you expect of your dog (whether that’s not jumping/pulling on walk, ect) and with a knowledge in training I can help reinforce the behaviors you like to see! I’m also very good at reading dog body language and love to see your pups feeling comfortable and confident in our adventures.

“Gretchen is one of the most talented people I've ever met when it comes to caring for and working with dogs. She's a vet tech, dog trainer, and has spent most of her life involved in all things animals. She's a compassionate, responsible, and extremely knowledgeable dog-mom. She's my first call when I have training or behavioral questions regarding dogs (or almost any animal, for that matter). I am not exaggerating when I say she is probably the best person you could ever have care for your pup.”
