“Great experience for my two girls with Ciara! I got lots of pictures and great communication over the entire week they stayed with her. Would definitely recommend Ciara to anyone looking for a loving family environment for your dogs.”
“Amanda and her family are amazing. Oliver had a great time and they took fantastic care of him! We received photos and updates each day! She’s super easy to communicate with and we will definitely be using them again! We felt safe and could enjoy our trip knowing our baby was well taken care of.”
“1000+ stars for Jay! She’s absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time leaving my 1 year old pup since adopting her in January, and I couldn’t have chosen someone better than Jay. I was worried about how she might behave due to her separation anxiety, but Jay was so welcoming and sweet that Coco felt as though she had been home all time. Jay kept me updated with pictures, videos and texts of Coco. Truly amazed with the level of care Coco received in her week long stay with Jay. Coco was even sad to leave! I will definitely continue to use Jay’s boarding services. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Stephanie and Max are the best dog sitters ever! Our dogs always come home happy and healthy. We have used them on many occasions and have never worried about our dogs being away from home. I think my dogs enjoy vacation more than we do when they are at Stephanie's place!”
“We left our dog for boarding for 9 days and he really enjoyed his stay! We have already scheduled his next visit! Would strongly suggest using them to anyone!”
“Victoria took such good care of our pup when we were gone for a 10 day vacation. He was happy to play with the other dogs and loved being able to roam the house and lounge on the couch. Victoria will be our go-to when we go on vacation moving forward. You can rest assured that your pup will be in great hands if she's the sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend. They were able to take in my pup last minute as in the same day! They sent me pictures and updates on how he was adjusting and settling in. I will definitely be contacting them again if I ever need someone to watch Rocket.”
“Our pup was so happy at Daved and Peyton's! She's a senior dog, and they had a perfect setup for her to have her own cozy space. Caring, attentive, and communicative - highly recommend 🙂”
“Margaret was wonderful! My dog looked like she was on her own vacation at Margarets house. She would send me pictures of Lucy playing in the yard and what bedding Lucy picked. Lucy loved being at Margarets house. I highly recommend Margaret!”
“Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.”

“This was Pitch's first stay with anyone he did not already know (he is almost 10!) and Tara was FANTASTIC! We are so thankful for how well she cared for him! We have already committed to her watching him again.”
“Susan took great care of our fur baby while we were of town! She gave updates with photos and videos. I appreciate that she suggested a meet and greet first to make sure both she and I along with my dog felt that she’d be a good fit. Overall I’m satisfied with the service I received and plan to board my dog, Simba with her again whenever we’re going out of town! Thank you so much Susan!”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“Jamie is awesome! I was so nervous about leaving my dog for a whole week. Jamie took great pictures and sent updates twice a day. My boy was absolutely spoiled! I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. He even howled goodbye when we left! I highly recommend Jamie.”
“I would highly recommend Ellie! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family or close friends and it was stress free! Ellie sent regular updates and photos. She’s kind, loving and took extra great care of our sweet, needy and extra anxious pup. So glad we have a relatable back up now.”

About: I have had cats my entire life and have extensive experience caring for them through all stages of life. Growing up with cats taught me the importance of understanding their individual personalities, routines, and needs. In my adult life, I have had two cats of my own. One of them I raised from a kitten and cared for throughout his entire life until he was 13 years old. This experience gave me firsthand knowledge of kitten care, adult cat care, and the special attention and support senior cats need as they age. I am comfortable with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications when needed, and providing companionship while respecting each cat's unique temperament. Having lived with and cared for cats my whole life, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them.
“Rachael was GREAT! She communicated with us throughout and gave our kitties all the love! I had such great peace and was able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good care!”
“Rhianna took great care of our very shy, skittish cat. He usually hides when new people enter the apartment. She was able to find him each day and even sent me pictures! I’m happy with the care she gave our cat, Toast!”
“Sarah did an awesome job watching our cat! She sent detailed updates, spent a lot of time playing with him, and was extra caring when he wasn’t feeling good. Very trustworthy and kind person, absolutely would (and will) hire again!!”
“Abbi, was thorough and followed every instruction I asked her to do with my senior special needs pup. She was also extremely flexible, which we needed unexpectedly. She provided me an update and I knew my boy was being taken care of. With him being special needs I need someone to be attentive to every detail of his care, she was and she put my mind further at ease when she followed up with me without asking. We will use Abbi again.”
“Rochelle absolutely exceeded all my expectations. I received so many lovely updates while I was away, and she communicated with me about everything. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit uncertain, but it was such a wonderful experience. We will most definitely be working with Rochelle again, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Tawny was great! I have 4 dogs, ranging in sizes, and they are very high maintenance. she did great with all of them! Followed instructions perfectly, had great communication, and made me feel so comfortable with my pups under her care. I will be requesting her every time I need a sitter for my doggos!”

“Teela did a great job with our puppy! She accommodated our last minute booking and was very friendly. She gave us updates and pictures throughout the day which put us at ease. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Ellie G. is a great communicator with photo updates. The daycare day went well and Annie O was introduced to Ellie’s chickens and I’m sure she wanted to get a little closer but Ellie was great keeping Annie away from them. Annie also met Ellie’s dog and it appears that they both made a new friend. The day was a success.”

We had a dog in the past that had medication needs and special food needs so I accustomed to caring for dogs with special needs. We are also a couch/furniture friendly family if that is something that is important to you. We do have small children but both are use to dogs and love them! We also do not have a pet of our right currently and so your dog would definitely be the center of our attention.

Thank you again!”
About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay. My dog has a strict routine as I believe taking care of pers works better with a specific schedule. He wakes up, gets fed, gets taken out, is given treats, among everything else at the same time. Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.

In my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation with the help of 3 dogs who I share a home with. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, & any specific care instructions. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I keep the home tidy & communicate regularly with updates & photos to give peace of mind. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care as if they were my own pets.
“Peyton was amazing! Checked in with us regularly and ensured Jupiter had a great time. We will definitely book with Peyton again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our sweet girl!”
“Victor and Abigail were awesome and took extra steps to make sure our anxious pup had a great time. They sent us videos and pictures every day, which we really appreciated. After his first day in daycare, my dog was very excited to return on the following days. He seemed to really like the folks who took care of him and was nice and tired once I picked him up. Staying with these folks was definitely a mini vacation for my dog!”
“Scott is absolutely great - and our beagle loves going over there to hangout with their kids. We’ve only used them for daycare so far, but it’s great to know she’s happy and safe!”

My husband and I both work from home full time. We have a great back yard for your pet to run around in with our sweet boy Winston. I have one sweet young dog who would love an occasional dog visitor and playmate. I will treat your pet just like I do, which one may define as a bit on the spoiled side!
“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful, and I really appreciated her quick communication, attention to detail, and compassion! She was able to respond to my last minute booking request and meet with me the same day. My dog had SO much fun with Jasmine’s dogs and the rest of her little crew. She really trusts Jasmine and actively looks forward to going to daycare camp. My dog is stubborn and will definitely let me know if she doesn’t like someone, so it was a relief to know she was spending her day having a good time. I got photos and updates throughout the day, and Jasmine responded quickly whenever I messaged her. I appreciated the flexibility with coordinating drop off/pick up times. Didn’t use her home pick up services, but it’s a nice option to consider. My dog had an awesome experience, and it was wayyyy better for her to be making friends and having fun than staying at home and waiting for me to come back. Highly recommend!!”
“Our Kona's Day Care is coming along quite nicely with Maggie and her family. He is getting to know her children and small dog. We look forward to leaving Kona with Maggie for a few nights later this month. We think it is a good fit and that he will be happy which is very important to us. Thank you Maggie for taking good care of our boy. Mike and Kay Chase”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 7 years old, and my love for pets has only grown over the years. As an adult, I worked at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I have also adopted and cared for three dogs of my own throughout every stage of their lives, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience, attention, and specialized care. This experience has given me a strong understanding of daily pet care, administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing the love and comfort pets need to feel safe and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention due to age or special needs, I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while you're away. I am currently in between jobs, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide your pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether your furry family member enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I can tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, I understand how important it is to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care, I am committed to treating every animal as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced backyard with a 5-foot chain-link fence, providing a safe and secure space for your pet to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. I do not have neighbors directly adjacent to my yard, so there is minimal concern about pets being distracted or stressed by animals on the other side of the fence. I am a lifelong animal lover and currently share my home with a senior dog, whom I've raised since she was 8 weeks old, and a young cat who has been part of our family since he was 8 weeks old as well. Having cared for pets through every stage of life—from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention—I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. When your pet stays with me, they will be treated like a member of the family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home while you're away. I personally allow my pets on the furniture, but I fully respect each owner's preferences. If your pet has specific rules, routines, feeding schedules, medication needs, or restrictions, just let me know and I will be happy to follow them to ensure consistency and comfort during their stay. I believe communication is important, so I am also happy to provide updates, photos, and messages while your pet is in my care, giving you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well loved.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—seriously, rabbits to goats, and everything in between. Right now I care for dogs, chickens, rabbits, and a cat, and I also have experience pet sitting for families from when I was in high school. In my 20s, I’m excited to help other animal owners get to enjoy a vacation or even a little break like a date night, without having to worry. My love for animals really shows, and I’m totally comfortable with both big dogs and smaller ones—I’m happy to care for every breed. I’m willing to have animals stay at my home, but they absolutely need to be comfortable around other animals. I can also drive to your place and stay at your home if that’s what you prefer. I work from home, so I’m available as often as you need me, and if you need me to stay overnight to watch your furry friend, I can definitely arrange that. With all that said, I’m excited to help in any way I can—because I genuinely love what I do! I’m currently working from home as a Sales Executive at a HR company. I take my pups out every 2 hours for potty breaks and to throw the ball for my very active GSD dog. I get off around 5:30PM M-F. So if you need me to stay at your home to watch your pets while I work throughout the day- that’s no problem! Or I can most definitely take breaks throughout the day to come take your animal out and/or just give some snuggles! I am free on the weekends and can make really anything work. Just give me a time and place and I’ll be there! I have a huge back yard and plenty of space for your dog to run around! It is not fenced, so must have good recall or I can just walk them on a leash. If your dog is coming over to my house they must be good with other animals. I have a male Belgian tervuren (fixed) who’s pretty shy at first, but warms up quickly and would love a play buddy! And then I have a male Dachshund (fixed) who sleeps all day. I do crate my dogs while I’m away, and they can be crated just to give your pet some space to decompress. My cat is in a separate room so she will be away as well.

I'm very respectful of any safety rules you may have, and will never cut corners when it comes to the well-being of your pup.
“Mary was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Yesterday she took care of our dogs all day during our wedding. She checked in on them three times and even delivered our dogs to our wedding venue so our brother could walk our dogs down the aisle during the ceremony. She hung out for the wedding, and then delivered them back to our hotel. She was so pleasant, followed every recommendation and request we made, and our dogs were so well cared for! She even went above and beyond walking the dogs for a long time before and after the wedding! If we lived locally in Newport News we would DEFINITELY us her again. I highly recommend her and her services!”
About: I have had many pets in my life ranging from dogs and cats, to turtles and parakeets. With this, I can promise I am used to all the different personalities pets can offer. Whether they are energetic or apathetic I can promise you your pet is in safe hands. I am currently on break from college and am doing this as a way to make some extra money. I also play semi-professional soccer in Richmond, Va so I schedule any dog care activities around any practices or games. As a pet owner myself, I can follow any special instructions that are required for your pet. Whether its giving medication, feeding instructions, walking habits, etc. I promise to prioritize your pets needs as if they were my own.
About: I believe that all fur babies deserve to be spoiled just as I spoil my own! I love to give treats and usually have dog treats with me anywhere I go. I do have a full time job but I have a very flexible schedule and work from home. I begin my visits as early as 630 am and can do visits until 10pm in the evening. I work from home so I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have open availability on the weekends. I know the stress being away from my furbaby in the past I couldn't relax because I worried about her safety the whole time I was gone. Which is why I keep you in the loop about your pet when they are in my care, you won't have to hunt me down to make sure they are having fun. We make sure that we practice safe departures so that your dog is safe and
“Candace did a FABULOUS job with our dogs, Banks and Brix. She was in constant communication with us and sent pictures so we could see they were having a good time and being well taken care of. Two thumbs up for Candace!”
About: I’ve worked in pet care professionally for 9 years, 4 of those years being spent in veterinary medicine. I approach pet care in ways that makes the pets most comfortable and value building relationships with the pets as much as I do my clients. I have an academic background in public health and am currently pursuing higher education with the end goal of earning a DVM. I am currently working full time at an animal hospital in Newport News, making my schedule more limited than it used to be for my pet sitting clients. My schedule is more workable for households located in Deltaville, Topping, Gloucester, Glouster Point, Hayes and Yorktown. Morning and evening visits are possible all days of the week, mid day / afternoon visits are currently limited to weekends. Please reach out to ask about scheduling possibilities! Early AM (before 7:30AM) and evening (after 6pm) visits available all week. Afternoon / mid day visits are dependent on location and day, but open every weekend. I do not let dogs off-leash in non-fenced in areas or in spaces with dogs unfamiliar to yours. I require all dogs and cats to be updated on their rabies vaccines. I will not take an unaltered dog outside of his or her home, this is for the safety and wellbeing of your dog. If your dog struggles with behavioral issues and has a history of aggression, please include this in your message so I can help you decide the best options for your pet when it comes to meeting a new pet sitter. If your dog struggles with severe anxiety (this is very common!) please include some of the best anxiety-reducing practices for your dog (ex. favorite blanket, hiding spots, calming treats / jackets) in their care instructions so that they can have the best time possible without their favorite human.
About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

“Stephanie and Max are the best dog sitters ever! Our dogs always come home happy and healthy. We have used them on many occasions and have never worried about our dogs being away from home. I think my dogs enjoy vacation more than we do when they are at Stephanie's place!”
“We left our dog for boarding for 9 days and he really enjoyed his stay! We have already scheduled his next visit! Would strongly suggest using them to anyone!”
“Victoria took such good care of our pup when we were gone for a 10 day vacation. He was happy to play with the other dogs and loved being able to roam the house and lounge on the couch. Victoria will be our go-to when we go on vacation moving forward. You can rest assured that your pup will be in great hands if she's the sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend. They were able to take in my pup last minute as in the same day! They sent me pictures and updates on how he was adjusting and settling in. I will definitely be contacting them again if I ever need someone to watch Rocket.”
“Our pup was so happy at Daved and Peyton's! She's a senior dog, and they had a perfect setup for her to have her own cozy space. Caring, attentive, and communicative - highly recommend 🙂”
“Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.”

“This was Pitch's first stay with anyone he did not already know (he is almost 10!) and Tara was FANTASTIC! We are so thankful for how well she cared for him! We have already committed to her watching him again.”
“Susan took great care of our fur baby while we were of town! She gave updates with photos and videos. I appreciate that she suggested a meet and greet first to make sure both she and I along with my dog felt that she’d be a good fit. Overall I’m satisfied with the service I received and plan to board my dog, Simba with her again whenever we’re going out of town! Thank you so much Susan!”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“Jamie is awesome! I was so nervous about leaving my dog for a whole week. Jamie took great pictures and sent updates twice a day. My boy was absolutely spoiled! I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. He even howled goodbye when we left! I highly recommend Jamie.”
“I would highly recommend Ellie! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family or close friends and it was stress free! Ellie sent regular updates and photos. She’s kind, loving and took extra great care of our sweet, needy and extra anxious pup. So glad we have a relatable back up now.”
“Brandy was great with our two dogs. One is 130lbs and can often be too much for some people. She was open and both dogs came home happy and worn out. Brandy sent us lots of photos during their stay. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Victor is the dog whisperer of Gloucester! Our rescued Newfie, who is terrified of strangers, did not want to come home! He stayed for four days and went from running from Victor to coming to him for pets. We will continue to board with Victor.”
