I was away for the weekend, and Dani was delighted to stop in twice a day to check on my pup. She was wonderful company and took great care of her. She even brought in some unexpected packages that were on the porch! I'll definitely call on her again the next time I'm away.

About: I have 13 years of pet care experience from owning 5 dogs. I also taken care of many dogs for friends over the years. I am constantly on the internet looking for different ways to keep dogs healthy and live a long wonderful life. I currently work part-time, which means my schedule is quite flexible. I can easily adjust my work hours to accommodate your fur baby’s needs. I’ll ensure that your furry friend is well-cared for throughout the day, including feeding, walking, playing, cuddling, and making sure they’re happy while you’re away. I will follow the instructions that are given to me very carefully because every dog is different. I do recommend having us meeting before you leave so I can bond with your fur baby with you there so they are comfortable with me. If you have a certain route you like to take your fur baby for walks or if you have a dog park where your dog can play with other dogs (if they are social) let me know! Otherwise I will walk your fur baby for a minimum of one hour and maybe even take them with me for small store runs in the area (with your permission ofc!).

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. :)

Kelsie did an excellent job while I was out of town for a week. My kitties experienced a bit more separation anxiety than usual, and ended up making a huge mess of the front room. Kelsie informed me of it immediately and was super understanding of it. Since I wasn’t around my phone during that visit and couldn’t tell her where the cleaning sprays were, she waited till I was able to tell her where the items were. Then came back the next day to further clean up the floors! One of my kitties is very weary of new people and she did great with making sure not to stress her out too much.

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've owned or help own several dogs. My family has 3 currently. I love animals so I volunteer for and ride horses, care for dogs and feed the feral cats in my neighborhood. I'm perfect for someone who needs a quick, cheap, consistent service. Currently available to walk or drop-in with pets from 2-5pm on Wednesdays only. I am a very good listener and a gentle handler. I instill some consistent walk etiquette but I am not a dog trainer! I am here to keep me and your pet walking and safe. I have a fenced in backyard and several parks nearby. My neighborhood is walkable. Your pet will never be far from water, food, space or comfort.

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!

Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my four dogs over four days with multiple visits each day. She was reliable, on time, and made sure each dog got the attention they needed. From feeding to bathroom breaks and playtime, she handled everything perfectly. Communication was great and I really appreciated the updates — it gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were in good hands. I highly recommend Rachel and will definitely be booking with her again!
