Jasmine was great with our spirited Yorkie! She took care of his insulin shot and eye drops easily. Bandit has a new friend! Looking forward to working with her again.

Sayaka was great with my dogs. She communicated well and helped me feel ease while being away from my dogs. My instructions were followed exactly as I asked. You won’t be disappointed if you book her. She’s great with pets.

Jordyn was a great sitter for my pup! She was able to change plans and check in on him for an extended amount of time while my flights were delayed and I felt good knowing he was in great hands.

About: I have taken care of huskies and neighbors dogs when I was younger and in my parents house. Now that I have my own home and backyard, I want to continue taking care of dogs, even if it's just for a couple of days! I have been a dog walker for several people around the Newport News area. I'm totally dedicated on the weekends! Available all day long! Monday through Friday, I work full time, working from 8-3:30. I'm available after 3:30 to pet sit, walk dogs, or take care of your pet. I have a fenced yard and a loving little white dog that can be your dogs companion during their stay! During the weekend, I am completely dedicated to pet sitting!

Michelle was wonderful! She took great care of our cat, Gayle. She kept in contact with me daily and sent a photo or two everyday, which I liked. We are definitely contacting Michelle the next time we need a sitter. I highly recommend her.

Look... Emily is the kind of service provider that I would hire to be my permanent dog nanny if I were wealthy. I typically don't give as high of praise as I will forever give this lovely person! She made a short notice family emergency a lot less of a problem by being "the cool aunt" for our pups while we handled life stuff. For real, Emily is amazing.

I cannot say enough about Dawn. She is very kind. I have an active Australian shepherd/ lab mix and needed some help for several days while dealing with family issue out of home. Dawn took to Penny super quick and I loved the visit summary and pics. I am sure Penny misses her already but I will definitely contact her again when needed. 5+ stars!!

About: Experienced and passionate animal-care provider. I have experience caring for canines, cats, birds, horses, reptiles, rodents, and additional exotics. Additionally, I have worked in various animal settings such as zoological facilities, animal shelters, veterinary clinics, animal training programs, and pet sitting. I absolutely love working with any animal, especially exotics and strive to provide the best care possible to better promote their well-being. Overall, my experience stands out from others as I have worked in facilities that have taught me how to provide the best care for any companion animal. I am currently working full-time as an Animal Care Technician, so my schedule will reflect based on client needs for their companion animal and my availability. I am off on Sundays and Mondays every week, leaving more room for services! I care for another’s pet based on the client’s needs, schedules they have setup, and how they want their pet cared for. I am passionate about having every pet in a safe, and trusting environment, for which I can provide under my care.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.

Tawny was great! I have a senior dog with special needs on multiple medications, and he had just had surgery. She listened attentively as I was going over his medical needs and care. During his visits she sent me updates and lots of pictures. Everything was taken care of for him exactly as he needed.

About: I have always had dogs and love to just play with them and get all their different personalities. I have always watched my neighbor's and family friends dogs when they were out of town I work full-time Monday-Friday, but I am always free on the evenings and weekends to walk your fur baby and spend time with them and make sure they are happy. I always make sure that they are loved, I work with them on training and take them for walks on nice days outside to get exercise.

My cat Lydia absolutely loved Jasmine. Lydia would even great her at the door and show her to her toys. Jasmine gives very good updates for her visits. The little details are nice to read. She takes excellent photos for the Rover cards. I saved a few to send to family. Will definitely book again as Lydia approves.
