Doggy Day Care in Newport News

“We usually do a boarding with Cassandra which my dog loves, but even for a day care stay, Cassandra goes above and beyond to make Pin happy! I love the photos and communication about how he is doing.”

“I could rave about how absolutely amazing Samantha was with my Khaleesi for hours, but I’ll keep it short for reading purposes. My dog Khaleesi is a high anxiety dog and does not do well with strangers and typically hides from them. Samantha had her during the day for 3 days, and from day 1 Khaleesi took right to her. It did take some warming up time, but Samantha kept me very updated and sent pictures throughout the day. By the end of the 3 days, Khaleesi was walking into Samantha’s house without hesitation and didn’t even turn around to look at me. Samantha is incredible and I highly recommend her!!!!”

“My pup had a great time! We barely got out of Timerra's neighborhood and my pup was asleep. Timerra was very patient, thoughtful, and accommodating with my 1yr old, who is very much still a puppy. She updated me and sent photos. I highly recommend Timerra!”

“Jessica took great care of my 2 fur babies & sent me videos throughout the day. She even went as far as having my pups make some cute Christmas ornaments with their paws & took Christmas pictures of them to! I would highly recommend her services😊”

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, including a Dalmatian, Cavapoo, Italian Greyhound, and now a Weimaraner puppy. I’m comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. My grandparents have had cats for over 20 years, and I’ve often helped care for them as well, so I’m familiar with cat routines and gentle handling. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently stay-at-home wife, with no kids. So I’m available any time, any day. I am very flexible. I have military base access, so military families who need pets care at your cozy home are welcome too! I care for your pets the same way I care for my own—safely, gently, and with lots of love. I follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, and routines, and I always keep dogs leashed and supervised on walks. You’ll get updates and photos every visit so you can feel confident that your pet and your home are in good hands.

“I needed a special day care/boarding home for my young, tri-pawed dog. The first visit was a day care trial where my dog and Lisa's family and dog were able to really interact to see if this was a good fit. Very professional, patient and works well with my dog. Now, I know where I will be boarding her when I travel. Thank you.”

“Milena was great to tolerate Skipper’s crying. We enjoyed the pictures. I’m sure he will do better in time.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a part of my life since middle school! Over the years, I’ve had the joy of pet sitting for families and friends, and about three years ago, I worked at a board and train facility in New Mexico. There, I cared for dogs of all ages — from playful puppies to gentle seniors — and even had the opportunity to shadow the owner to learn more about dog training. I understand how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away from your furry family, so I’m always happy to send photo updates and regular check-ins to keep you connected. At home, I have a friendly German Shepherd who loves meeting new friends and a calm, easygoing cat who’s used to sharing space with visiting pets. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just a peaceful place to relax, your pet will be loved and cared for like one of my own. ❤️🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I spend most of my time at home with plenty of love and attention to give your pets. I occasionally step out for short errands, but I’m rarely gone for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and explore! My playful German Shepherd makes a great companion, so your pup will always have a buddy to keep them entertained. For added peace of mind, I also have a crate available if needed to ensure your pet stays safe and comfortable while I’m away.

About: I currently have no dogs. I had a golden mix for over 7 years until she passed. I purchased a PBGB as a puppy and had him for close to 3 years. I rehomed him because I couldn't give him the attention he deserved. I absolutely love dogs and I miss the companionship of dogs. I do have a grand dog who I babysit for occasionally. He is a Pomapoo and he loves to run around my yard and we cuddle and watch TV. People were surprised that I rehome my dog Jeebs because I loved him so much. I work remotely.90% of the time so if there is a need for care during the week. I am definitely available on the weekends and I will have a week off during the holidays . I have a fenced in back yard. My home is small but they will be comfortable.I live near the water so they will get plenty of exercise .I will make it a point to take them out for fresh air. I will make sure I have a kennel available if necessary and I will follow any nutrition concerns your dog may have.

“Elisabeth was great with my Goldendoodle. We were racing at the dragstrip, had our dog with us &wanted to go have some fun on Fremont street. Elisabeth met us & dog sitted for us. Dixie felt very comfortable going with her & was happy when we met to pick her up! I would definitely have her watch our girl again! Highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom located in the Hilton area of Newport News. I’m active, reliable, and available from early mornings until late afternoon. I’ve cared for everything from a home full of 7 cats and 4 labradoodles (yes, all at once!) to countless pets belonging to friends, family, and friends of friends. I have a 5 year old son with special needs who absolutely adores pets so if you’re looking for boarding, please make sure your furry friend is child-friendly. During the day however, he’s in school and I will be able to cover those who may not be small child friendly. I don’t mind hopping in the car to take your pup to the park or on a trail if they need more than just a quick lap around the block. I’m a big morning person who thrives on routine but, full disclosure, I avoid rush hour or late-night driving since my son is with me after 3:30 p.m. Monday–Friday. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or a place to stay while you’re away, I am here to help. Just drop me and line❤️ I’m available Mon-Fri from 5am-5pm for walks, parks, even just a home visit and car ride if your pet just needs some human 1:1 during work hours. Weekends are limited so send me a message during the week to check availability. I have a large yard but it is not fenced. My son and I enjoy walking whenever we can around our lovely neighborhood of Hilton. I have a pet and baby proof clean home with a gentle loving child. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me so you won’t have to worry about anyone making a mess and it not being cleaned up.

I would take your dog or cat for walks and pick different spots to walk every week I have them so they can get a good experience with me. also, I would play with them have fun take them out on wonderful nature adventure walks. build a very loving respectful relationship even train them a bit.

“Xiaolin and Zidong were so sweet to my pup and they were so kind and polite with me as well! They have a beautiful backyard with loads of space and their own pup got along great with mine. Will definitely be using them again soon!! :)”

“I recently moved here and was anxious about finding a sitter for Taco. I'm so glad I can trust Julie and Kenneth to take care of Taco while I'm away at work. They make sure he's happy and I also get a very detailed summary about how his day went. I highly recommend them and will be using them regularly.”

About: If you are a regular, please contact me directly as I am booked daily frequently but I will make wiggle room for my familiar friends. I am now accepting bookings for spring 2026. I AM fully booked for Christmas and New Years. Except for cats - My adult daughter is my regular backup if needed and she usually covers cats visits because they loooove her. *** BONDED/INSURED and I guarantee my behavior in your home!!! Please check with any of my other clients. I love being video taped!!! Your home is just as safe as your pets! I’ve been the go-to girl for pet care in my extended family, friends, neighbors and even within my church for decades. I’ve helped puppies being born and taken care of seniors who needed medication. I work from home and set hours as you need me. I'm available on short notice if I know you. Otherwise, I prefer a meet and greet with new customers. Details are important for all of us. For Drop-In Visits, what is comfortable for your animal is what I do. We can do playtime or just feed/water/love. Puppies can use me for mountain climbing and senior dogs find me a restful friend. I work with cats as well as dogs and am not afraid of keeping a litterbox clean. Also, if you have any tentative travel plans for 2026; please let me know as soon as possible. I hate turning people down but I already have week long overnight bookings scheduled every month into Jan. I would be glad to block out dates while you firm up your plans, if needed. My work zone is limited - I try to only take jobs within a ***3 MILE radius of CEDAR LANE*** - so I can focus on each pet instead of driving all over the place. If you ask any of my regulars, you will find I can (and have been) called in on an emergency with no hesitation. I only take 1 drop-in on days I have my regular or 3 drop ins on my ‘free’ days. Sittings are a case by case basis but if your pet will work with me, I would love to work with them. I will book as far as 12 MONTHS in advance if you need me. I work my schedule around your pets. Any questions, I will be glad to answer. For clarification - Drop-ins are scheduled between 9 am and 8pm. My phone only works during these hours unless I am sitting your pet. House/Pet sittings can be during the day or an overnight stay. Usually, Day shift is 9am to 5 pm but I am willing to work with you as your schedule requires. Walks and sittings are different things. But I will gladly work with you if you give me advance notice. Overnight stays are usually 8-10pm as needed to 8am. Please ask if you need a different schedule during reservation. If I know in advance, I’m glad to work with you and your pet(s). Hope this helps, I’ve gotten a lot of questions lately. 😉 This is my job and I love it. Meeting and spending time with new animals is a joy. I'm building my business through word of mouth so you have all my attention. Let me be of help. I answer text/calls between 9am and 11pm unless I am driving, working with someone, or out of town. My catch up day is Monday so if I do not have furry friends to visit and if I'm slow to answer, it’s because I'm covered in my dogs and cannot move. (They are little but insistent.) or running my many errands. I WILL respond to every request even if you are not in my zone. But I cannot respond while working or at church. You and your furry family are important to me, please let me prove it. I'm always willing to do drop ins and dog sitting. I love doing house sitting stays as it lets your pet be comfortable in his/her own space and keep to their schedule. I will follow your rules meticulously! Please feel free to contact anyone I have worked with, I'm very proud of the reviews I've been given. I will work with you and your pet to get the same happy review. I limit my work area so I spend more time with your pet and not traveling. Overnight covers a 10-12 hour period such as 8 pm to 8am.

“Cutie Pie had such a great time. Brandie and her family were great with him. It definitely kept my mind at ease while he was there.”
