About: I’ve worked in the a vet hospital for 3 years , then moved to working in boarding and taking care of all sizes of dogs! I’m animal cpr certified. I don’t go to work until around 9 so I will come take care of your fur babies early in the morning then come back around 1pm to let them out for a mid day potty break. Then when I get off work I will come back over and take care of your fur baby and tuck them in for the night after they play and get their energy out. I have a 1 year old black and she used a leash and harness when we are outside unless we are playing with her toys. I’m very attentive to the surroundings before I let my fur baby off the leash.

About: Whether you need daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your pets. I treat every dog like my own—making sure they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Flexible scheduling, affordable rates, and trusted experience give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level 🐾 Drop-ins for feeding, play, and potty breaks 🐾 Overnight sitting in the comfort of their own home 🐾 Reliable, trustworthy, and pet-loving care Let’s make sure your pup stays happy, healthy, and loved—while you focus on your day with confidence. My girlfriend and I walk the dogs at least 3 times a day with a visit to the dog park in the evening. There is 3 other dogs that always meet us at the dog park at the same time as well that live in the same housing territory as us which helps them all socialize and play together. All 3 dogs get fed 3 times a day as well so your dog will not go hungry if it needs fed multiple times a day. I am currently not working so the dogs will be my priority! No worries at all as the dogs will always be coming first in this household. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to go out. We also have a friendly dog park right out back of the house as well in which we take the dogs to frequently and know most of the dogs that go to the park as well. We have 3 stories so the dogs will get plenty of exercise going up and down the stairs as well.

About: My first two pets were 2 doggies at 9 months old. I had them for 17 years until they left for doggy heaven October 2024 and February 2025… I am not ready to fully commit again quite yet so decided babysitting and loving on others’ furbabies will help the healing. Work from home all week. Will be able to take care of them in home and overnight if needed! I will accomodate to all requests and needs. Will appreciate details such as age, allergies, health, likes and dislikes. Will treat your baby/babies like they are my own. Will walk them as I have a dog friendly neighborhood as well as a newly built dog park. The backyard is also fenced.

About: Growing up, my house was a menagerie of companion critters. We had hamsters, gerbil, ferrets, guinea pigs, cats, a dog, lizards, fish, and turtles - just to name a few! I have had experience handling puppies, kittens, senior dogs, senior kitties, and everything in between! I developed a lifelong love of pets - especially the furry kind! I am a self employed artist and my daily and weekly routine are fairly flexible! Sometimes I'm a early bird, other times a night owl, so my daily flexibility is also pretty open! For drop in visits, I conform to your home and pet's routine. From how to clean the litter box, to meal time prep, I want your animals to feel comfortable and cared for.

About: Hi! I grew up with a house full of dogs and I loved it! With my husband being away so much I cannot fill my home with my own pups, so why not love on everyone else’s. Your doggie will feel right at home here! I currently work from home full time, so I am home majority of the day! I have a fully fenced backyard, lots of toys, and a 1 year old border collie/Newfoundland mix! He is very friendly, loves to play, and is amazing with children. I cannot wait to meet you and your furry companion 😊 I work from home full time. I go to the gym 6 days a week, so they will be left alone for a few hours a day. I have a full fenced backyard. On nice days, they have access through the doggie door to come in and out as they please. I do close the door when the weather is colder or rainy. I can accommodate for crates dogs.

About: I have had pets since a little boy from reptiles to mammals. They are all like my best friend and I treat them how I want to be treated, because pets are apart of the family. I work and do school monday - friday, but animals are my passion and if someone needs help to take care of their best friend I am here to help. I have two dogs and a snake. They all of course require different levels of attention. My senior dog needs his medicine and to go outside often to pee and just wants to sleep. Where as my puppy wants to play a lot, and needs to pee often as well. Either way I know how to balance both.

About: I’ve had a dog as far back as I can remember, my first being an American Cocker Spaniel to my most recent, a 3 year old Golden Retriever. I’ve trained each to be an obedient companion, but most importantly a valued and loved member of the family. I have experience in senior care for dogs to include special toileting, medication administration, and providing active range of motion for pups who don’t move as well as they used to. I also have experience in cat sitting. Pet parenting is who I am all the time. I work to provide a better life for my dogs that includes scheduling to allow for the most time with them, the best food/supplements, and activities/play time to keep them active and happy. I am the epitome of an over-protective, over-bearing pet parent. I don’t take this role lightly because I always want to keep my pups safe, and this extends to your pets as well. Any special instructions for your pet will be adhered to and updates/photos will be provided for that extra peace of mind while they are in my care. I have a completely enclosed backyard with grass, access to water, and shade for a fun-filled day of play.

About: I grew up around animals and have never known life without pets. My pets are my family, and I am happiest when I’m around animals of all kind. I have a fluctuating schedule, so I can accommodate a variety of needs. I also work from home which gives me a lot more flexibility. I live in a partially fenced in community with a common area that’s great for outdoor playing. I also have a dog and a cat of my own that love to make new friends.

About: I’ve grown up in a home that has always had animals, so pet care has never felt foreign to me—it’s just been part of daily life. At one point, my family had 10 cats at once, which taught me early on how different personalities, medical needs, and stress levels can all exist under one roof. I have experience with animals across the spectrum, from easygoing to highly complex. I’ve cared for aggressive, anxious, and picky cats, high-energy and very barky dogs, as well as pets who need extra patience, structure, or medical support. I stay calm, observant, and adaptable, especially when care isn’t straightforward. My hands-on experience includes: • 10+ years fostering kittens, including bottle babies as young as two weeks old • Caring for ill, elderly, and special-needs animals, including those with mobility challenges • Supporting pets with trauma histories, OCD or stress-related behaviors, inappropriate elimination, and extreme touch sensitivity • Administering medications confidently (pills and liquids to cats and dogs) • Moderate experience with subdermal fluids and injections for kittens and cats • Caring for pets post-surgery, coming off anesthesia, or on sedative medications • Providing daily care for animals who could not walk independently or needed frequent monitoring and cleanups I’m comfortable with situations that are emotionally or physically demanding and don’t get overwhelmed when things are messy, slow, or unpredictable. My priority is always safety, consistency, and helping pets feel as secure and understood as possible. I am a part-time nanny with a very flexible schedule. I am available to walk your dogs, check on your pets, or stay with them in your home most nights. I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust to take care of a member of your family while you are away and want to provide the best care for your pets so you can truly relax. Having had a Chow Chow mix growing up, I have experience with both intense and anxious dispositions, and I know when to take a dog’s behavior personally or not. I am an easy going, adaptable care-taker, but I will also play as much as your dog likes! I will give them such good care, your pets will look forward to your next trip!

Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with my Tucker & Zoey. She came to my home and met them before her scheduled walk days, which was so comforting. She is a very sweet person, was on time, sent several pictures of them during their walk, and very great with communication! This was my first time using someone to walk my babies while I was away for several hours, but I WILL DEFINITELY be using Jennifer again. 😊😊😊

About: I’ve taken care of my dog and my aunt’s dog since I was nine. I’m nineteen now and both of my fur babies are still kicking, barking, and happy. I’ve always loved animals, even helping to rescue some when I was little such as these two baby ducks and other little birdies and frogs too. In school, my teacher had a pet chameleon and turtle and I always was excited to help feed them. I actually started majoring in Biology at first in college to be a veterinarian or zoologist. I have a different path now to help children but I still have a passion for pets and other beautiful creatures of this Earth. I will take care of your fur babies just like I did mine and love them just as much. I am a college student as mentioned before so my current schedule is MWF to be free after 9:00 am and Tu and Thurs to be free after 12:15 pm but this is just until my Thanksgiving and Winter Break which I will be free most of the time. My Winter Break will begin the 12th of December and my next semester starts January 1st or 2nd. However, I will be free Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so very flexible. However, I do love on campus in Norfolk at ODU so I can take business there as well but mainly for dog walking and pet sitting at your residence. I do rely on my mother, boyfriend or friends for transportation but they are willing to help snd be available as needed. Please give me a chance and you won’t regret it. :) I make sure the pets first get to know me, smell me, and recognize me to be comfortable with me. Then, I interact with them more by playing with them and giving them rubs and cuddles so they can feel more connected and comfortable. Then, definitely make sure they eat and drink the right food for their health and nourishment. Then, walk them so they can do their business and get exercise and always make sure they have a leash on. Next, make sure they are groomed and cleaned well and freshen up from the outdoors. Then spend more time with them until our fun is over and they are returned with their beloved owners. I will have a whole day well planned and you and your fur babies will appreciate it. :)

Izzy was amazing!!! She took care of Stella as if she were her own and made my first experience with Rover very easy. She was super sweet and attentive, wanted to know everything about Stella’s habits before dropping by on her and followed all instructions. She sent plenty of pictures and videos of my baby throughout ❤️❤️! Overall it was a 10/10 experience, no notes! I will definitely be using her services in the future!!!

About: What sets me apart is the presence and care I bring to every interaction. With 15+ years of hands-on experience across a wide range of animals—dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs—I’m not just pet sitting, I’m attuning. I notice the little things: a shift in behavior, a need for extra cuddles, or when it’s time to give space. My calm, loving energy helps animals feel safe and understood. I don’t rush through visits—I show up fully, giving your pet the same patience and warmth I give my own. As a homeschool mom with a flexible schedule and a peaceful home environment, pet sitting fits naturally into my life. I’m home most of the day, which means your pet gets consistent attention, companionship, and care—not just quick check-ins. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and it brings joy and balance to our rhythm at home. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I have the time, space, and heart to give your pet the presence they deserve. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my approach is rooted in calm, attentive, and loving presence. In my home, they’ll enjoy a relaxed, pet-friendly environment with plenty of snuggles, play, and quiet time—whatever makes them feel safe and happy. If I’m coming to you, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, respecting their space and energy. I treat every animal like family and always follow your instructions with care and attention to detail. We have a fenced in yard, and plenty of walkable sidewalks.
