Pet Sitting in Norfolk

“I had just moved into a new apartment and was leaving for a vacation 10 days later, I was stressed to ind someone to care for my 2 cats, Toni & Luke. I signed onto Rover.com. Then Shana answered my request on short notice, we met and I handed over my keys & precious cats to her care for 2 weeks. I was EXTREMELY pleased with the care and the daily pictures and updates she sent me and it put my mind at ease knowing they were being cared for by a competent and caring person. I can't express how grateful I am to Rover for having SHANA as part of their service. I highly recommend SHANA as a cat sitter and definitely would use her service again.”

“Katrina came over for an initial introduction and was so kind and responsive about our dog. She sent an update and pictures we’d definitely use her again!”

“I needed someone on very short notice and Eleanor was kind enough to take the job. She was prompt and spent extra time with my dog. Communication was great. Would definitely hire again!”

“Me and Meg have been friends for about 7 years now and I think she would make a wonderful stop in sitter and dog walker. Meg is a true animal lover just ask her bunny Nibbles :)”

“If you are looking for a confident, outstanding, trustworthy person to come take care of your fur babies, look no further ! Keri takes amazing care of my large goofball Captain, not being scared away by his weird barking habits in the crate. Within two minutes of meeting her he was rolling over on his belly and giving her kisses! I don’t need to worry at all about the safety and care of my dog with Keri ❤️book with her !!!!”

“Julia was nothing short of amazing while watching our dog Georgia! She was very punctual and left great notes for us everyday along with photos. I couldn’t have asked for anything more and we are very grateful for the peace of mind we had while Julia took care of our girl!”

“Excellent overall. Followed all instructions precisely and was consistently on-time. Got along well with both our cats, including one that is usually prickly with strangers. Would hire again!”

“Kailie is great with all my animals and very communicative! I would recommend her to any pet owners”

“Jessica did a great job checking in on our kitties while we were out of town! We have a unique situation with an rv parked at a campsite and she was very accommodating and gave us updates on them every day”

“Wendy is a great cat sitter and very dependable & trustworthy. She is my go-to person when I have to travel out of state. She also is very patient with my special needs kitty.”

About: I have two dogs, 80lbs and 55lbs. family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. No job is too small. I have a full Time job and I work from home on Monday’s and Tuesday and am available in the evenings those day. I am also flexible on the weekends. I can care for your pets for your extra long weekend getaway! I have a fenced in yard, and crate in home. I am able to walk the dogs to the park up the street from me or go to plenty a trails near by.

“We have 3 older cats (2 with some health issues and meds), so leaving them for 10 days made me a little nervous. Kimberly did a great job with them! The pictures she sent everyday provided such a sense of comfort, as did all of her communications about any of the small issues we've come to expect with our cats. I really felt that she was able to handle everything very well. Made our vacation so much more enjoyable! Thank you Kimberly, we'll call again!”

“Morgan was amazing: took great care of my cat, & communicated often and clearly. Will absolutely use Morgan again!”

“Lorraine was great! She took great care of our dog Jones over Thanksgiving, providing us frequent updates and photos from the visits! We will definitely use Lorraine again!”

“Teresa was great! She was able to confirm on a very last minute booking to check on my cat while I was out of town. Really appreciate the help!”

“As a fellow river sitter, I tend to be rather picky on who I hire. However, Erin is amazing. She gave my boys the love and care they needed, while giving me pictures and a peace of mind. I cannot wait to hire Erin again.”

“Samantha sis an amazing job taking care of our two cats and our 9 year old retriever! She was so attentive and professional. She sent photos daily and it was clear that all 3 pets were having a blast with her during her visits! I highly recommend her and hope that she will be available to come back and pet sit for us again!”

About: My family always had boxer dogs growing up but I love all breeds. Growing up I often took care of neighbors pets when they were away from walking, feeding, providing play/social time. I still assist family members with pet care when needed. I've been a stay at home mom to my two children for the last six years, who are now going to be attending school more full time. I will keep pets on a leash at all times when not fenced in and ensure all doors are locked and secure prior to leaving.

“Megan is reliable, consistent, thorough and loves furry friends. She is at-home among any kind of dog and would be happy to help out with any pet care needs you’ve got”

About: Please read through my profile before reaching out. All of your questions should be answered here! Caring for pets is my passion and as you can see I have a high rebooking rate! Thanks so much! Hi! My name is Jenn and I am a stay at home mom with two daughters and one black lab mix! I want to share a little about our family and what your pup can expect during a stay in our home! I have always had dogs and couldn't imagine life without one. Our dog Kenzie is an important member of our family and I know many people feel the same way about their animals. Leaving our beloved pets in the care of someone else can be stressful. I have definitely shed some tears when leaving my dogs with someone else. I take this into account when caring for someone else’s pet. Your dog will receive a warm and happy welcome into our home as I treat each and every doggy guest exactly how I expect my girl to be treated. Take comfort in knowing that I will care of your dogs as if they were my own. They will receive as much love and attention as they want or need. I am home most of the day and my husband works from home 3 days a week. Your pup will never be left alone for extended periods of time. We have two daughters aged 8 and 5 who are dog lovers and big helpers! They share a love of animals with their Mama. We also have our 10 year old black lab who loves having new playmates! There are a few important details to read over. I love all dogs but not all dogs are the perfect fit for our home and vice versa. Please read below. 1. Your dog MUST like children. As previously mentioned I have two young daughters who are excited to snuggle and love your dog! If your pup isn’t a fan of kids then our home will not be a good fit. 2. Your dog MUST like dogs. As mentioned we have an older female black lab (and possibly two or three other dogs boarding at any given time) so dog friendly is important. Our Kenzie is still somewhat playful but also enjoys her alone time. We think she is slowing down a bit in her older age but she gets spurts of energy for a good game of tug or chase! If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs then our home will not be a good fit. 3. I require a meet and greet before any stay. We need to be sure our dogs will be fine spending some time together and see if everyone feels comfortable with the arrangement. Humans also! I want you to feel at ease when leaving your dog in my care. 4. I only accept potty trained dogs and offer many potty breaks/walks throughout the day. If your dog is a marker then they will not be allowed to roam free in our home and I will need to use a belly band. I take pride in our home and want it to stay clean and comfortable for all my doggy guests. Accidents happen but consistent marking is not ok. If use of a belly band/doggie diaper is necessary I will of course let you know. 5. Crate trained for overnight sleeping is now required. We have crates here or you are free to bring your own. I have found that most crate trained dogs prefer their own crates. I’m sure it smells like home for them. 6. We DO NOT have a fenced in back yard. We take take the dogs on frequent walks and and they get many potty breaks throughout the day! My husband loves hiking and enjoys taking the dogs on his adventures. The dogs play with one another and my girls love engaging the pups in play! You may end up with a picture of your dog dressed in a princess dress or attending a tea party. 7. Please make sure your dog is utd on all shots and flea/tick prevention. If you can send me copies of their vaccination records that is most helpful. 8. Please take note that my holiday rates are higher than my nightly rates. 9. I’m flexible with pick up and drop off times and will ask the day before or day of for an estimated time of arrival. I have found it’s easier on the dogs if drop off is earlier in the day. That way they can spend time acclimating to our family. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I want your dog to be comfortable in our home. We truly enjoy spending time with all different dogs and they will love being with us! I’m am fortunate to be a SAHM and have all the time in the world to spend with your dog. We typically feed the dogs breakfast and give them their first potty break around 6:30/7:00 AM. We will take a morning/early afternoon walk and then have dinner around 5:30/6:00. The last potty break around 10:00/10:30 then off to bed! Potty breaks and additional walks are offered throughout the day as needed. We follow your rules in terms of basic care for your dog! Your dog will be loved, snuggled, payed with, walked, and tired out at the end of everyday. I will send you videos and pictures and you can call/message whenever you want!
