“Another great stay with lots of updates and photos! Cassandra worked with me last minute to not only watch them but then to allow me to add on additional days. I never have to worry about them knowing they are in great hands! Thank you”
“I’m new to Rover and Tera eased my worries and helped me through the process. Tera made sure to send me pictures of Chance daily. When it was time for Chance and I to leave, Chance kept running back to Tera for goodbye loving. I will DEFINITELY call Tera when I need a pet setter again. Thank you so much Tera for taking care of my fur baby.”
“Mary was so, so great with my dog who is not easy to care for due to a particular terminal illness. I was beyond comfortable when Mary was watching my dog. She was very responsive, loving, and thoughtful. I recently moved and thus won't be able to use her service, unfortunately. Thank you, again, Mary. Luc (and I) will miss you!”
“Gunna had a great time and made himself at home with Jessica and her kids. He had a fun time playing in the large backyard and on his walks. Jessica was quick to respond, gave us daily updates, and above all was able to watch Gunna last minute.”
“Tavonne had a great space for my little dachshund! He came back from her house happy and ready to fall asleep, since he'd been playing all day. Her small dog played well with my rambunctious puppy, and handled him well. I would go to her again for dog sitting anytime!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My first actual pet I got to call my own was a cockapoo puppy named Duke, he was my first lap dog too. However, don’t let my baby fool you I have also had hounds that screamed and ran across the yard and the house. I am experienced with cats and dogs with special needs to. My grandmothers and friends animals all have had dietary or medical needs that I never mind having to help take care of. My passion is loving animals and making sure they live a happy life. Trust that your fur baby will be in safe and caring hands. I am currently a Culinary Specialist that works in the Navy. Even though my schedule is a busy one I get a whole week every other week within the month of free time. It can get boring and lonely, so I have decided on my free time to give my services to those who might need someone to pop their head in or fully stay if needed. I have an apartment that is in a fenced in area of Newport News. It’s all military private housing so it has the safety that you would be looking for. However, if you have a big dog I would have to go and visit your home due to complications of navy housing.
“Julie & Kenneth N is a true lifesaver! I was so worried when my dog got loose, but Julie & Kenneth N went above and beyond to find him. They were incredibly responsive, calm, and reassuring throughout the entire ordeal. Thanks to their quick thinking and dedication, my furry friend was safely returned home. I can't thank them enough for their heroic efforts. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet”

“This was my first time boarding my puppy and Krystal was the best.com!!! She kept me updated on his status and sent pictures which kept me at ease. I will go to her for all my services. I even think my little man is sad that he had to leave her. Thank you Krystal for taking such good care of King!”
“Timerra did an amazing job when she kept my baby. She communicated and sent pictures while I was away and we found that to be very sweet. My pup was not wanting to eat her dog food and Timerra offered to feed her some fruits so she wasn’t hungry. I will definitely be booking her again in the future :)”

“Sierra was great and if needed I will be booking her again! She was able to watch my fur baby last minute and kept me updated throughout the day! My baby also warmed up to her really quickly which was really refreshing since he typically takes a minute!”
“Amazing!!! I’m all the way in Hawaii and waiting on my final out date for the Army but I had my dog Teddy shipped early to my best friend. My best friend ended up having a trip to go on so I needed boarding services for my Teddy. The first person I booked ended up being a disaster my dog was brought to her house the day of boarding and no one answered the door or returned any of my calls so I ended up having to find emergency services. Mickey was very quick to respond! Over the days Teddy has been there she’s sent me pictures updates and let me know how he was doing. Thank you so much!! I will be booking again!!”

Marjorie-sue B.
“Marjorie has been excellent with all her pets. Even when she had gone into the military and was not able to bring her dog with her she would constantly call and make sure he was doing ok and making sure he had everything he needed and made sure he was going to the vets for his check ups. She loved to play and cuddle them . Made sure they got out for walks. When in Elementary school the teacher had them all do an easy to give away the class pet knowing she was given the pet to her ahead of time because she knew it would be taken care of.”
