Doggy Day Care in Norfolk

“Emily was very pleasant to interact with. She has a nice inviting home with a big well groomed yard. Our Chi - Mix Mookie loved running around in the yard. Emily treated Mook like one of her own. Allowing him to watch over the yard for her like Chihuahuas love to do. We will definitely reach out to her again when we're traveling in the area.”

“Lyndsey and Evan were amazing! We got multiple photo update throughout the day. They even took Oscar for a 3 mile walk, and their dog Rosie kept him entertained all day long.”

“Alexandra took our corgi for a couple hours for day care and she was great! I appreciated the updates and the communications around pick up and drop off.”

About: I grew up with cats and fish. I have had a dachshund for 8 years and love to spend time with him. Our favorite things to do are to nap, hike local trails, lake kayak, and head to the dog park. I work a shift schedule, so I have work week availability. For the next few weeks I am available most weekdays with a little bit of notice given. I live in an apartment complex with a dog park, I can also take your dog on local walks. My apartment has ample room to separate dogs if they need a little bit of space to be most comfortable.

About: I have experience with most small and medium breeds of dogs, from Italian Greyhounds (my own!) and other sighthounds to Beagles, Dachshunds, Maltese, Corgis, Shiba Inu, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, terriers, spaniels, and other wonderful dogs who don't fall into a single breed. I have cared for my family's Italian Greyhounds for 30 years, having IGs of my own for nearly 20 years, and in 2016 nursing my dog back to health when he was using a feeding tube and multiple medications after surgery. He recovered healthier than ever at 9 years old and defied the odds to become free of all meds and treatments, living to nearly 17! Currently, I have two Italian Greyhounds, Pippi and Sophie, who are happy to hang out with new furry friends, and who seem to enjoy Rover visitors as much as I do :). I'm happy to walk your dog in the neighborhood area, or let them play in my fenced yard. I am able to assist with senior dogs and am able to administer oral medications. When your dogs come over to visit, they will be loved and cuddled, have access to toys, and have the option to play with two highly socialized iggies (Italian Greyhounds). I work from home as an independent art curator, so this gives me the ability to be quite flexible in scheduling and in adapting to provide the best care for your dog. Your dog(s) will get lots of cuddles and scratches/massage (whatever they like!), as there are always dogs surrounding me whenever I am sitting. Outside time can be leash walking around the neighborhood or playing in the fenced yard, or leash walking in the unfenced portion of the yard. We can also go to a dog park if that’s their jam. Treat time (treats approved by you, their person) usually happens after going potty or as a treat between meals. For sleeping, I’ll try to replicate what they are used to at home, whether that is sleeping in their own bed on the floor, sleeping in human bed with their people, or sleeping in a bed in a crate (I have extra crates and beds). Upon arrival, they will be introduced to my well-adjusted Italian Greyhounds individually so as to make sure everyone is comfortable.

“Andrew is great and very responsive. Whiskey had a good time and he’s surely been in great hands. Would definitely ask Andrew to watch Whiskey again! Thank you Andrew for taking care!!”

“Our sweet deaf pup stayed with Annmarie for the day and she couldn't have been safer and happier. This was our first Rover experience, so there was a bit of anxiety dropping our puppy off at a stranger's house. However, Annmarie made us feel welcome through her ongoing communication before, during, and after the visit, and I felt a sense of relief knowing that our special needs dog was well cared for. I highly recommend this host for your doggy day care needs.”

“Christopher, Ali, their kids, and their pups were great. They kept me updated throughout the day. They shared videos, photos, and updates throughout my puppy’s stay. I was super nervous but they made the experience great.”

“Duffy had a great time during her first visit with Sean and his dogs. She was exhausted when she arrived home from all the running and playing. We'd recommend Sean to anyone in the area for dog-sitting.”

“Bridget and her pups provided just to play day that Duke & Sofie needed while we were able to catch a local game. We will definitely visit Bridget when are in the area again!”

“Adreine was great. I had her watch Major for me during the day while I was working. Adreine kept him busy all day and Major came home ready to relax.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs for over 30 years. I have taken care of other peoples pets for over 10 years. I love to interact with animals and provide exceptional general care ❤️🧡🏳️‍🌈 I am pretty flexible and available unless already booked through my other house sitting services. We can find a time that works! for a meet and greet. It would be your home, they would get to remain comfortable and free of exposure to other animals with a variety of issues from a loving and kind professional.

“Debbie went above and beyond for us. She spent plenty of time acclimating our 4 mo puppy to her home and dogs for his first daycare session. We received pics and updates during his stay. Our dog had a great supervised socialization session with Debbie and other dogs, and had a chance to gain confidence in staying with others. Will definitely use her as a sitter again!”

“Kyle and his wife seem very trustworthy, my dog loves them and he was very sleepy when I got him home. I'll definitely use their services again!”

“We brought our Falco for daycare with Misael and we were so happy with the service!! Misael was super responsive and Falco seemed very happy to be there. Misael sent pictures and updates regularly. There was a nice yard and Falco was able to roam around to his heart’s content. Falco is a big boy and Misael and his family treated Falco like their own. We will be using his service again soon for overnight boarding and feel really comfortable with them. Thanks for making us feel like Falco is safe with you!!! Highly recommend!!”

“Lauren is a responsible, reliable dog sitter who clearly loves all creatures. She has a great set up with a beautiful fenced in back yard. I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy in her capable hands. My pup has only had two days with her but I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had the privilege of being a dog owner since the age of 13. Dogs are a part of my life and are so healing to the soul. I’ve had years of experience in loving and taking care of these fur babies. I do well with following instructions, being respectful, and creating a safe space & home for your pups. I would consider myself to be a great and responsible dog mom, sitter, and would love and take care of your dog like my own. I’m a stay at home mom and have the time to take care and play with your pups. I have space in my backyard for playtime and potty time and live in a beautiful neighborhood to go on walks for fresh air and exercise. My family spends a lot of time outside and so will your pup (weather permitting of course). I’m available during weekdays and weekends. My services include boarding and doggy day care. I have a backyard and beautiful deck to get plenty of playtime and sunshine. I also live right across the street from a large park that we can take trips to. I have a small and friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep your dog on a leash while outside and/or can close off the deck for a more secure area.

“Amazing dog sitter, but honestly what else would you expect from someone who clearly loves dogs! Great property too, with an awesome backyard. Will be booking Jen on a regular basis and you should too!”

“Kelly & Isuf were very gracious and friendly hosts and provided a safe and loving home for my girl Marlee. Their dog Sonny is super sweet and is always ready to play with his friends for the day. We brought our girl over on 4 separate days while we vacationed in the area. I highly recommend this family. Thanks for another great Rover experience!!!”
