“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! We couldn’t be happier with the outstanding care Omaira and Isaac provided for our dogs while we were away for a week. From start to finish, Omaira and Isaac were professional, highly communicative, and incredibly attentive to our dogs' needs and daily routines. We received regular updates and photos, which completely put our minds at ease and allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. It’s clear that Omaira and Isaac genuinely love animals and treats them as if they were their own. We returned home to happy, relaxed, and beautifully cared-for dogs. If you are looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter, look no further. We will absolutely be booking again!”

“Alexis was the best! We are transitioning from Boston Massachusetts to Hampton roads, and at the last minute I needed a sitter for 2 of my golden doodle boys, to move my remaining items to VA, and Alexis quickly responded and agree to Take my boyz. She took pictures and messaged me daily about much fun they were having. We definitely will utilize Alexis again! We found a sitter here in Hampton Roads! Yay!!”

“Janel could not have been more professional, responsive, or kind. I boarded Loki with her for 4 nights not knowing what to expect and only using reviews and our short communicationas a gauge. I was not disappointed. My pup, Loki, appeared at ease with Janel when I picked up my little dude. I will use her business again. Thanks, Janel.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.

Magie took such good care of our girl, Oreo, while we were on vacation. She was attentive the whole time and kept us updated with pictures, which I really appreciated. It was obvious Oreo felt more than comfortable with her and her family she looked right at home. I’m genuinely grateful for the way they treated her. We’ll definitely book with Magie again.
Abbi and her husband (and their adorable daughter) took our request last minute for boarding and our dogs had a great time! She was prompt to respond when I had questions and was very flexible on pickup/drop off times. I would definitely use her services again! 10/10
Ashley was an awesome dog sitter. This was our first experience using Rover and she made it so easy for us. We had a work trip planned and our normal list of sitters were not available. Ashley kept us updated with pictures of Snoop and even took him a bath when he went for a swim. Would definitely recommend Ashley!!!!
