Dehaven and Ashlee took great care of our dog and our home while we were gone! They were very understanding of our dogs needs and did a great job while we were gone. They were great communicators and kept us up to date on how things were going which was very helpful. We cannot thank them enough!

About: Hi! I am an animal connoisseur with years of hands on experience. I grew up surrounded by many animals (hedgehogs, goats, pigs, snakes, cats, dogs, rabbits… you name it!) I’ve fostered for years, and volunteered at the Isle of Wight County Animal Shelter. I have pet sat for neighbors as well. I can bottle-feed, and administer oral and topical medications. Seniors or young animals alike are welcome ☺️ I’d love to care for your baby! I’m a teacher who works full-time. Because of that, I’m available on weekdays after 4pm, and available all day on the weekends. Starting June 6th (summer vacay, yay!) I will be available everyday! I care for every pet in their home with close attention to their usual routine to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, playtime, litter box or potty needs, and medication if needed. Affection and companionship too, of course!

Whitney did a great job with taking care of our dogs! She communicated a few times each day and sent pictures while we were out out town. It gave us peace of mind having someone at our house to keep our dogs in their own home. Thank you for house sitting! We will definitely book her again for our next trip.

I can’t say enough good things about Robbyn. Jackson immediately connected with her, and he was more relaxed than I’ve ever seen him for a high energy puppy. She kept the place spotless, communicated regularly, and sent plenty of photos so I always knew he was doing well. I’m truly grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely be booking with her again.

Robert spent a weekend caring for our fur babies. We had a meet and greet prior to his stay and he did a thorough assessment of our animals needs to make sure he provided top notch care. Over the weekend he sent pictures and updates. I knew my fur babies were well-taken care of.

About: Hello! My name is Jadelynne, but i go by Jade (if it makes it easier)! 1 am 24 years old and I am currently in school at ECPI for my Bachelors in Healthcare Administration. I also work at Langley FCU in Poquoson (some of you may have already met me :)! ) In my spare time, I love to listen to music and read. I have a yorkie he is my pride and joy; His name is Bear (My baby bear) and is a very spry 14 year old boy lol! I cannot wait to meet the additional furry babies that i will encounter! I work part time and also in school in the evening time. One of my classes is online so i can watch your baby while tending to school. Dogs are the equivalent to human children in my mind. They need to be tended to at all times, and nurtured in the same way. They have just as many complex emotions as humans do and my goal is to ensure that all the fur babies are treated as such.

About: I've been involved with dogs for well over 25 years. We first owned a Greyhound for 12-ish years. After that, I volunteered at our local SPCA, providing dogs that were waiting for adoption walks and socialization. Later, I became a foster parent for a Working-Dog training school. As a semi-retired person, I have plenty of time to watch, walk, and play with your loved-one. Let me know if there are specific skills that you wish me to reinforce, or activities that you wish me to do. I will abide by all rules of a clients home and walk/play on a schedule that you set. I can also pick up the mail and bring it in/place it where is goes.

About: Hello I have unfortunately never had any dog friends growing up. I watch dog sometime sporadically through the years when friends find out that I love dogs. I would love the experience to take care of and watch dogs. I also want to be more active in my community. Everything I will be learning and taking it with me throughout the years to come for when I own my own dog one day. During the summer I do not work much so I am available during the week. I would lover for Rover to give me some extra income. During tax season I work at a tax office all week. I would give dogs lots of attention and love that they need. I follow directions and I am very attentive so if ur dog needs anything differently than other dogs I can do it.

Jennerifer was 20/10. We were struggling to find someone who would stay at our house and hang out with our kids. From the moment we met Jennifer she was so kind, professional, organized, and clearly loved animals. Her communication was phenomenal from the meet and greet to the moment we came home. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. We will 1,000% be asking her to come back in the future!
