Pet care experience

Experienced dog sitter in VA Bch

Welcome to our home! My husband, Kevin, and I, Christie, are passionate animal lovers who truly enjoy caring for dogs and making them feel like part of the family. We provide dog sitting in our spacious Virginia Beach home, where we live with our three children (ages 10–13). We’re a family of seven, with two older children who have already left the nest, so our home is full of love, energy, and experience. Although we’ve had two beloved dogs in the past, we don’t currently have any pets of our own. This allows us to give our full attention to the pups in our care. We typically host no more than four dogs at a time so that each one receives the individualized care, attention, and affection they deserve. Our home features a large, secure backyard—perfect for supervised playtime, exercise, and lots of tail-wagging fun. Our kids absolutely love helping out by playing with the dogs and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. Both Kevin and I work, but one of us is always home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for while staying with us. Thank you for considering our family to care for your furry friend—we can’t wait to meet you and your pup!

Christie and her entire family loved up on my French Bulldog and took exceptional care of him while I was away for over 2 weeks. Their non-carpeted floors were excellent on his belly after coming inside from the heat outside. I received regular updates with pictures which I gratefully devoured since I missed my pup so much. We were able to have a meet & greet before I booked to give me peace of mind he'd be well taken care of. In addition, I read all the fantastic reviews to help me feel better about leaving him for the first time! It was a good experience and I will book Christie again to watch my boy.

Christie was great to work with. We appreciate her flexibility when we got stuck in heavy traffic returning from our trip! We plan to use her again
