Doggy Day Care North Central

“Dustin was an excellent Rover. He was extremely flexible, professional, and even provided some training and guidance for Turbo! We definitely recommend him as a Rover.”

About: I recently got married and moved to the area. I’m a Virginia tech animal science grad. I have worked in a boarding and daycare facility the past 2 years. I also have some dog training experience from college and in the kennel facility. Upon request I can offer training sessions for your pups. I recently moved to the area and still looking for a job that’s a good fit for me. In the meantime your pups will have all my free time! I have plenty of experience working with all types of dogs, including ones that are nervous greeters, food aggressive, barrier reactivity, leash reactivity and more. I understand every dog is different and will always work to make your dog comfortable in any environment. Big advocate for always having treats on hand and reading their body language at every interaction.

About: Hello! My name is Danielle and I've been caring for pets my entire life! I have been raising, training, and pampering my own babies for the past 10 years and providing local services to friends and neighbors. I'm highly experienced with all dog sizes, especially giant breeds (the bigger the better!). I can provide boarding, sitting, training, walking, grooming, specialized feeding, medication administering, and even first-aid if needed. I even have experience with pet hospice care through a local shelter. A little more about me personally: I have 3 dogs, including 2 Great Danes and a Golden Retriever. I also have 3 very demanding cats. So you know I'm well-versed in handling the crazy, and will treat your baby just like my own! Pets are the center of my world and yours will be too. I work from home and can provide round-the-clock care and attention during boarding and daycare. I'm currently working part time and looking for additional pet care opportunities to fill my days, since it's something I truly enjoy doing. I have a large house with gated rooms for separation, medium and giant sized crates if needed, and a large backyard with a 6 foot brand-new fence. The upstairs is gated off for the cats' comfort (and so they can watch and judge from above). In my home, I allow animals on the furniture, unless you wish me to keep up with training that teaches them otherwise. And I have gated feeding areas and an entire pet first-aid cabinet in my kitchen for emergency situations. Water bowls are provided inside and out, and dogs are supervised when outside. In client homes, I like you to set the rules. I'm happy to go about treating your babies as I would in my own home, but if you have specifications you'd like me to follow, I'm more than happy to learn what those are and follow them for your needs.

“Linda is fantastic!! She is a miracle worker with our dog Cloe, who normally isn’t very social and doesn’t eat while we are away. But Linda got her eating and playing with other dogs and she was so happy! We will definitely be going back!”

“Landon was so helpful when we came to VA Beach to visit family and needed someone to watch our dog in a pinch! He was communicative, responded quickly and really gave us peace of mind that our dog was safe while away from us. Our dog had a BLAST with Landon and came back tired and happy after hours of playing.. always a sign of a good day for a dog. If we’re ever in Virginia Beach again we would definitely utilize Landon!”

About: My home can offer you the level of care and attention you want for your pet. I’ve always believed dogs shouldn’t just be “checked on”—they deserve attention, interaction, and a sense of comfort while their owners are away. Your pet will be loved on as if he/she were my own. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have raised several from puppies through their senior years, including a rescue, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. My home is very pet-friendly, with a large backyard for play and space to relax. I also have a 5-year-old lab and a young child, so safety is a top priority. I only accept dogs that are gentle and a good fit for a family environment. My goal is simple: to give your pet a safe, calm, and genuinely cared-for place that feels as close to home as possible. I am currently working part-time, so I am home frequently. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods of time. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm available 24/7 unless I am going out of town. I usually work Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 5pm-10pm. I prefer to do a meet and greet before boarding. I cant always accommodate last minute bookings, but don't hesitate to reach out. I have a large fenced in yard, one very playful 5 year old lab, and a friendly toddler. My dog has free rein of the house and yard. When I am home, I leave the back door open so she can come and go as she pleases. When I leave, I can separate the dogs and crate as needed.

“Katja and her family took excellent care of my sweet one. Katja is very responsive, diligent and caring, providing equal loving care and attention as she does to her own pets.”

“Words can't describe how awesome my experience was putting the care of my puppy in Zack's hands. As soon as I drop them off, he felt so at home,and it was clear to see that my puppy will be in good hands!! When picking him up, he was in a great mood! I brought him home, and he fell as straight to sleep. Zach's dogs played so well with Carmelo, and I look forward to setting up another time for him to spend the day with them! I look forward to the next play date Zach's house with his dogs, and I recommend anyone ,who wants their dog to be in great hands to choose him as a handler.”

“My experience with Nicole was very professional and pleasant. Communicating with her was clear and precise, Plus she gave me updates with my puppy throughout the day. When picking up my dog from our home, he was calm and less hyper than he usually is, so I know he enjoyed himself. I plan to scheduled her for more play days when I am unable to be with him for a majority of the day!!!”

“Seems like Taz had a good time with very little stress and exercise. Thank you!”

“JASON IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST DOG SITTER!! Jason has been watching my senior boston once or twice a week for several months now. My boy has limited sight and hearing and I was so worried about finding someone I could trust to take good care of him as if he was their own dog. But I came across Jason on Rover, and from day one it has been the best experience every single time. Jason is just so warm and friendly, and his home is like a doggie paradise. He has always been so accommodating and excited to watch my dog every time. He is just so dedicated to giving the best care to the dogs he watches, and the peace of mind I have knowing my boy is in good hands is priceless. My boy is always so happy to go to his house and play with his doggy friends, and the pictures I receive from Jason reflect the awesome time my dog is having throughout the day. I just can't say enough how happy I am to have such a top quality sitter for my dog, and it makes me just so happy to see my dog having such a great time running around and playing and living his best life at Jason's house. Jason - thank you for all you do, and for being someone I can trust with my Keanu's safety and committed care when he is not with me.”

“Rachel is incredible with our puppy, who I know, is a lot of energy and work! My dog is so excited to come over to Rachel’s house, she’s practically jumping from my arms! I am so grateful for the love and care Rachel provides!”

“This is our 2nd time using Esther to watch our dog while on vacation. Our dog had a big yard and others to play with. Esther communicated with us and sent pictures videos and texts to keep us updated. Our dog LOVES going to Esther’s! Highly recommend using Esther.”

“Cynthia was amazing! She responded very quick to my request and was very responsive when I messaged her. I’ll definitely continue to use to I have her watch my Chloe. Thank you Cynthia 😊”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, having grown up with 12 dogs in my home in the Philippines, where we were responsible for their daily care and wellbeing. I also have experience from running our own pet shop, where I learned proper pet handling, care, and maintaining a clean, safe environment for animals. I am a stay-at-home wife, so I am home most of the day with a flexible schedule. I have one small Shih Tzu, and your pet will receive constant care, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where pets can freely roam around the house under supervision. I also have a large indoor kennel in the living room available for pets who prefer a calm and secure space.

“Thanks so much for being available on short notice!”

“Yulia is magic! My dogs loved her and she goes above and beyond caring for her visitors. She makes sure they feel truly welcomed into her home and family. Plenty of updates showing what a great time my dogs had while in her care. She is my absolute go-to from now on.”

“She's awesome. My Penny runs away from me to go to her like I don't exist and it wakes me smile”

“David is truly amazing! We needed a sitter for our pup at the last minute so I went on Rover and was impressed with David’s profile and reviews. I contacted him and he responded right away. We needed a 5am drop off and he was totally accommodating. Oz spent the day playing with David’s pups and was so happy when we picked him up. David communicated with me during the day to put me at ease and I appreciated that. You know how dog mama’s are lol. We had a great experience and will definitely rebook with him many times in the future.”
