“Sam did a wonderful job taking care of Skye!!! We know it isn’t easy but she did it and he is very relaxed when we picked him up which doesn’t always happen..thank you and we’ll see you soon!!”

“My pup nearly broke away from me when he saw Maggie and her family! He loves being there, and I love the sense of peace I have knowing he is such good hands!”

“We are very grateful that Lyra & Scott were available while we were on vacation. We had one day where we would be away from our vacation unit for most of the day. Hansel and Gretel have been okay on their own for a long time before, but being away from home, we knew they would be stressed. We are so glad we found them a home to hang out in for the day! We were sent pictures during the day, and Hansel and Gretel looked completely at ease. I'm sure they had fun with the kids, too. I know they enjoyed the stay because they both went back to Scott as we were leaving to say bye (Lyra was inside, but I'm sure they would have said bye to her also). We would definitely recommend them as well as use them again if we go back to Williamsburg.”

“Watson was one happy puppy with Stephanie. She took wonderful care of our boy. He got lots of exercise and loving from her. I think he wanted to move in with her. Highly recommend Stephanie without any reservations at all.”

“She's great! Really cared for our scared pups during their first time away from home. Definitely would use her again and recommend to anyone needing a caring and loving sitter for their fur babies.”

About: I was new to the pet ownership when I got my boys in 2019. I conducted thorough research since I was in need of an emotional support animal. In my quest, I found the perfect fur baby for me, the Biewer terrier. I started with one, however since my Denni suffered with anxiety and separation issues I felt it prudent to get him a companion. Two months later we welcomed Davis into the family and have never been happier. I relocated to Virginia at the start of the pandemic in 2020. One year later I suffered a health crisis which made it difficult for me to fully care for my boys. It took another two years before I made the difficult decision to rehouse them. Fortunately, I was able to turn them over to the loving care of my dentist. Since she brings them to work with her, I can still stop by to say hello and spend some time with them. Over time, my health improved, I was introduced to dog care and the rest is, as they say, history. I have found my passion. With a heart full of love for fur babies of all shapes, sizes and temperments, I'd be honored to care for your beloved fur babies in my home or yours. My time is my own. I am retired and home all day. I am flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to fit yours. I even offer pick-up/drop-off services when needed to lessen the burden on you. Let's work together to make things easiest for you. I live in a townhouse with stairs on the inside of the apartment. This allows the dogs to get plenty of exercise, as needed. I also have a balcony so your pets can be outdoors all day, if they so desire. I took care of a Greyhound who was very sweet but quiet. He would sit out on the balcony all day and never barked once. I can also take puppies in need of training. I trained my boys myself with the help of Cesar Millan and Brian McMillan (lol). I am also considering getting formal training. In the meantime, I seek knowledge from books and subscribe to several YouTube channels specifically geared towards dog training. I have potty pads, toys and treats in my home, as well as other items I use for training purposes. Recently, I did drop-in visits for two medium-sized dogs. One, a senior dog, the other a 5 month old Border Collie full of energy. I let them out in the backyard for 30 minutes. I made sure they had fresh water and then crated the Collie until the owner returned home.

“Very professional and caring.”

“Shawna was amazing with our two very large golden retrievers! Definitely the most responsive and engaged rover we have ever had, we got tons of pics and videos and she was flexible with our changing schedules. Will definitely be using her services again! 😊”

“I’m so glad I found Christene for my dogs! They hadn’t ever been to a doggy day care or boarding before so I was worried how they do. They came home happy and tuckered out! She has a fenced yard and a doggy room (converted from the former garage) that’s awesome for the pups. Thanks Christene!”

“We had a great experience with Qasheedra. From the moment we met, she and her family were warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to understand my dogs’ needs and routine, which really put me at ease. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for — I couldn’t ask for more. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah did a fabulous job with Reno. He had fun, and she clearly loves having animals around so he felt welcome. She made me feel completely at ease leaving my precious pup for the day!”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and now have a golden retriever puppy of my own. Throughout college I would pet sit and care for family friends dogs when I came home for holidays and breaks. Experience with both small and large dogs. Currently work as a registered nurse with a flexible schedule during the week as well as availability on weekends and holidays. Comfortable with kenneling, walking, feeding, bathing, giving medications, and playing. I currently work full time as a registered nurse Monday through Friday however I still have a flexible schedule. Available both during the week and weekends as well as holidays. I can easily crate dogs in your home and provide walking if there is no fenced in yard. If there is a fenced in yard there will be lots of play time.

“This family takes great care of our pup. When I pulled into the drive and Rosy recognized where we were, she was super excited! They love her and Rosy loves them right back!”

“Luisa was GREAT! Nikki can be a little shy but she went straight to Luisa. I could tell Nikki was comfortable around her. :) Luisa was responsive, flexibile and very friendly! If I’m ever in the area I would definitely use her again! I loved the pictures she sent while Nikki was with her.”

“OMG, after meeting Alberto and his mother my heart smiled! I am a NEW pet parent and i LOVE my fur baby! They treated her as of she was their fur baby!! Alberto is so aweet, gentle, kind and patient. He sent me photos and a video throughout the day! I WILL be using him again!!!”

“Faafetai did a fantastic job caring for our dog. We can tell from the pictures that Hippo had a great run around the yard and was loved by the resident kids. We look forward to using Faafetai again!”

About: Hello, my name is Kathy and I offer overnight boarding, day care, and walking for mellow and senior dogs and I specialize in caring for cats and kittens. I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs my whole life, from young ones to seniors, as well as sick pets who need medical attention. I am skilled at giving oral medication and shots. I also volunteer at my local no-kill shelter and handle cats of all sizes. My husband and I live with our small introverted tripod dog and 2 cats in a house with a fenced-in backyard. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe with sidewalks. Our home is a relaxing space for senior, mellow, and/or introverted dogs - if your dog enjoys cuddling on the couch or slow strolls around a quiet neighborhood, then we have the perfect home! I also offer the following services separately: - Dog baths (shampoo + conditioner; $15/bath) - Cat nail trimming ($10/session) Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home with a generally flexible schedule. I'm able to set my own hours for the most part and can be available over lunch as well as before and after work. I'm also able to take frequent breaks to let dogs outside in our fenced-in backyard with a 6-foot fence. After work, we will go for a walk around the neighborhood. I'm the primary caretaker but my husband helps when he is home. Boarding: I have a small, introverted tripod and 2 cats. As such, I will only board mellow, senior, and/or introverted dogs who are good with cats. My cats will not bother your baby as long as they don't bother the cats. Drop-ins: I understand every pet has its own personality and will respect their needs! I'm happy to play with your energetic companion or leave your shy loved one alone and let them come to me. No matter what, I am always attentive to their body language.

“Mack had a wonderful time! Responsive communication, treated my fur baby like family, and very friendly! Much Gratitude ❤️”
