About: I’ve owned pets my entire life and currently have 3 indoor cats who are amazing. I’m a recently retired teacher of 27 years in the Virginia Beach City Public School System and am now giving up students for fur babies! I have owned pets my entire life and have even recently rehabbed a baby Carolina Chickadee(in the spring). I have experience with giving cats meds(pill shooter). I’m a recently retired teacher and am available daily for all pet services seven days a week. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, lizards,and fish as I have always helped out my friends as they have done in return for me. My cats are indoor. I prefer to go to your home because I don’t want to upset my babies. I can travel to your home.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two cats of my own & previously owned a medium sized dog. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! I work mornings and am typically off by noon, so I have plenty of availability for pet care in the afternoons and evenings. I occasionally have afternoon appointments, but my schedule is flexible and I’ll always communicate my availability in advance. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of your home, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for neighbors’ and coworkers’ dogs on and off for about 7 years. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including seniors. I currently have a 16 year old Dachshund, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs may need. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work 7-4 at Langley Air Force base so depending on how far it is from base I could stop by during lunch but if not I can stop by during the week before 7 and after 3:30 pm. During the weekends and holidays, I should be free whenever to care for your pet! I live in a comfortable apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can get some fresh air and relax. I’m also happy to take them on regular walks and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!

About: You can finally relax knowing your pet will be safe, treated like family and given all the love. 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 (all at once!) to countless pets belonging to friends, family, and friends of friends. I have a 6 year old son with special needs who absolutely adores pets so if you’re looking for boarding, please make sure your pet 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 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 neighborhood in 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.

About: I love animals, and I would love to start getting out of my house more. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12, and would love to get back into it. I am good at basic training things such as : sit, stay, lay down, and I can also teach them to play dead. I don't mind feeding them or bathing them either. I can't wait to meet your fury companions! I have two littles and would love for us to start getting out of the house. I am basically always free, and would love to take care of your fury family members! I have fenced yard if I were to have your pet at my home. I also have a female dog who is super energetic while outside. I own a dog crate as well, just in case. Depending what I am booked for, I love to play with all pets. Usually if I have time during a booking I will play and give pets to my clients as if they were my own.

“Laura was great with our cat. Laura’s communication was great during the drop-ins checks we need for our cat. The pictures she sent really made me happy. My husband and I felt safe with Laura in our home and came back home to a happy cat☺️ I hope we can book her again.”
