“Thank you for taking such good care of my baby. Loving the daily report cards. Anyone looking for a doggy sitter, Brandy comes highly recommended. Daily videos and photos were great. Thank you so much.”
“David was amazing and truly understanding. Our children had a track meet 4hrs away that went over in time by 3-4hrs. David’s flexibility to still provide loving care for our furbaby meant a lot to us.”
“Melanie is amazing! We had an impromptu trip to the beach and it was too hot for the doggo. She was super responsive and has the perfect place for dogs to go! Will use her again if I’m heading to the beach!”
“Jessica is amazing!!!!! I have used her on multiple occasions and each time she has been a lifesaver especially when it’s last minute. She goes above and beyond with caring for my boys, she even made a birthday cake to celebrate for my Milo while I was out of town. My boys love her and her family.”
“I was scrambling to find dog boarding when my friend canceled on me at the last minute. I had no backup plan and actually thought I’d have to send my dog to a kennel for the week. Luckily, as I was looking up kennels, I found information on Rover. So this was my very first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Turns out, there was absolutely no reason for me to be. Rover is very easy to use and I was able to find Julie & Kenneth N’s information. After seeing/reading the positive reviews I made immediate plans to meet them and have them meet my Husky, Max. When Julie & Ken arrived, they were very friendly, easy to talk to and most importantly, they love dogs. I was able to book Max to stay with Julie & Ken for the entire week that we were on a family vacation. As promised, I got daily emails (with pictures) of how Max was doing and Julie even let me know how helpful Max was in the kitchen — by being watchful to ensure Julie didn’t drop anything while preparing lunch. I loved all of the text communications I received — Max was smiling in some of the pics. That put me at ease too. If you want top notch boarding for your dog, then I highly recommend this dog-loving duo. Your dog will be well taken care of and will be happy with Julie & Ken. In the future, whenever we need dog boarding, Julie & Ken will be my very first choice. I am sincerely grateful to them for their excellent care of Max.”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Shanae was professional, dependable, and incredibly caring with my dog. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Shanae went above and beyond to make sure all routines, feeding schedules, walks, and playtime were handled perfectly. When I returned home, it was obvious that my dog had been loved and cared for exceptionally well. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thanks again Shanae!”
“Stacy and her family were so so so kind and loving to my dog Bella!! Bella is 19 months old so definitely still in the puppy phase and Stacy was so welcoming and loving to her! I had to go out of town for a few days and I got updates with pictures and she truly spoiled her! I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for my Bella girl. Truly amazing at what she does!!!”
“I can tell my dogs love staying at Omaira & Isaac's because when I dropped them off this time, they went strait to playing! I travel a lot and usually when I drop them off at the boarder's or sitter's they get upset because they know I'm leaving, but not this time! It warmed my heart to see that my dogs enjoy themselves when I'm gone; it really decreases the dog-mommy guilt!”
“Tavonne has always taken great care of our girl! She sends photos and responds quick to questions, and her house and yard are set up perfect. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“She is an amazing person. She is very responsible, you can get quick responses, and she frequently sends photos. I felt completely at ease and trusted her fully while my dog was with them. Thank you so much — we hope to see you again very soon.”
“Reiniza took great care of our high energy chocolate lab. I got great pics of our dog walking the beach and living his best life. She kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay and was very flexible with pick up/drop off times. Highly recommend!”
“What can I say, my puppy "Carmelo" had another wonderful day in the care of Jeremy & Melissa!! I know that he was in good care at their home, and I hope to continue to work with them!!! Thank you again!!!”
“I highly recommend Maryann! From her initial response to my request for pet sitting, to her multiple updates every day (with pictures), MaryAnn conveyed a professional and loving option for our little Puggle. We will definitely use her sitting services again!”
“Cristen and her family are wonderful to work with. It’s clear they love animals and treat all the dogs that stay with them as their own. Would definitely recommend them!”
“Hillary kept great care of our Stella. She provided daily updates and pictures. Stella loved being in Hillary’s care. Stella got lots of attention and love while in Hillary’s care. I will definitely use Hillary again!”
“Michelle was amazing! She kept me well updated on my pup and made sure he have plenty of interaction. Definitely recommend her and her family to watch over your fur babies while on vacation.”
“Our dog was treated like she was part of their family. We received lots updates and pics of how she was doing. Lots of walks and love. When we picked her up to go home, our dog was happy and relaxed, not stressed out and exhausted; it was obvious she was well cared for.”
“Lisa and her family took wonderful care of our little dog while we were away. They treated him like part of their family—lots of attention, playtime, and updates that gave us peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and it was clear he’d been loved and well cared for. We’re so grateful for their kindness and would absolutely trust them again in the future.”

“She was so great with my dog and I scheduled her very last minute and she was able to work me in! I appreciate her greatly and she took great care of my dog and my home! Thank you again!!!”
“Rhiannon is THE BEST!! Everything from doing a meet and greet, to confirming the time she was start to being flexible when we got a little delayed coming back with traffic, Rhiannon was nothing but super sweet and professional. She kept us updated with how our little feisty queen Jasmine was doing and she did win Jasmine over (albeit it was a short lived victory), since our feisty feline loves her alone time outside or cramming herself into a box. Rhiannon also sent us pictures to check and see what sort of minor shennangians this queenie was trying to get herself into. In all seriousness, Rhiannon did an amazing job to just watch out and keep our munchkin from either over eating or just running a muck while we were away. Highly highly recommend Rhiannon and will be requesting her in the future. She also left us a wonderful surprise by snapping some cute little instafilm polaroids of our beloved Jasmine being her silly self.”
“Christine was very sweet and helpful. She took pics with every visit and my kitties looked happy in every picture. She handled the logistics and administration of my cat's insulin perfectly. I'll definitely be reaching out to Christine again for help.”
“Alyssa is responsible, reliable, and kind and we whole heartedly recommend her as a caretaker for your pets! She really provides peace of mind for our family and thank her for the kindness she provides our kitty cats!”
“I was reluctant to use rover because I haven’t been away from my cat before but she was amazing!! She gave daily updates and pictures and made me feel comfortable with the idea of rover. Will 100% book her again the next time I leave town 🩷”

About: While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I’ve been a pet owner for years and understand the love, patience, and responsibility that comes with caring for animals. I currently have two cats and a puppy, so I’m experienced with daily feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets on their routines. Over the past month, I’ve also been caring for pets for others, and I’ve loved building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in caring hands. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I care for my own two cats and puppy every day, making sure they get fed, exercised, played with, and plenty of love and attention. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, potty breaks, and quality time with your pets. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident that their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and secure, just as if they were my own.

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles. For the past four years, I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friend turtle who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage, along with feeding her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to care for pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :)) Pet care is a vital and seamless part of my daily and weekly routine. Over the past four years, I have taken care of dogs, cats, and especially a neighbor's turtle, who I have grown to love dearly. Each day, I ensure that she is fed and her cage is cleaned, and I spend over three hours sitting with her, ensuring she feels loved and cared for. This routine has taught me to care for pets as if they were my own and deepened my love for all animals. Incorporating pet care into my schedule is crucial to me. I ensure my pet is happy and healthy, from morning walks to evening snuggles. Every activity, whether feeding, brushing, or playing, is an opportunity to deepen our bond and show my pets the love and attention they deserve. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities, such as my involvement in ROTC at Norwich University for the past three years, has honed my discipline and time management skills. In addition to my ROTC commitments this summer, I am taking summer courses and have lacrosse practices. Despite these busy schedules, I always ensure that pet care remains integral to my routine, reflecting my dedication to their well-being. As a dedicated pet caregiver/Owner, my approach to pet care is tailored to the pet's needs and the environment. I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space in my own home or while providing services for clients. This includes regular feeding schedules, enriching activities such as walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining cleanliness through regular grooming and sanitation practices. Additionally, I strive to provide ample affection and attention to ensure each pet feels valued and loved, whether under my roof or in the comfort of a client's home.
About: Hi there! I provide excellent pet care service in VA Beach area. I am also willing to travel to cities within a 30 mile radius. A little about myself: I am a 2x alumni from East Carolina University. I received my Masters in Communication in 2017 and am currently working as a Producer. I absolutely love animals. I currently do not have fur babies of my own at this time because I do travel for my job. I am willing to walk animals on a daily basis. I am also willing to board pets in my home. I also do not mind traveling to your home to watch your pets. I have several years of pet care/ house-sitting experience but do not have much experience with grooming animals. I love going for long walks and taking pups to the beach. Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions! I work hybrid - 2 days in the office (Williamsburg) and 3 days remotely, and travel often for a work. I keep my calendar up to date. I’m happy to board your pet in my home. I live right next to the beach. I am also happy to travel to your home. I prefer to always have a meet and greet if possible so the pup is comfortable with me.
About: I’ve got years of experience caring for dogs and cats. My favorite thing to do is take dogs (especially my own) out for adventures by taking advantage of this beautiful state we get to call home. I love to give dogs the best time when they’re with me whether that’s going out or staying in and their safety and comfortability is my top priority. I work part time on Thursday and Friday nights until the end of December. I have a very open schedule until the end of April. I do have a dog and two cats, so it would be best to board at the owners home vs my own, but I am ok with either. I am avid about getting quality outdoor time that goes beyond potty breaks. Clear instructions of your pets exact care requirements/expectations are important to me so that I can make sure your pet is getting their needs met.

“Ive used Brandys daycare services for Loki 2 days a week for about 5 weeks now. She is very attentive, loves dogs, and caring towards him. He gets so excited to see her and looks so comfortable around her family. She gives physical daily report cards with the potty schedule, behavior, feedings, comments and recommendations. She sends photos throughout the day. Her family enjoys having him around and I love seeing him play with her children. I had a family emergency one weekend and she had no problem keeping him for me until I got back in town. That was super huge because she does have a family, it was last minute, and a big ask. Definitely would recommend her services.”

I've owned dogs my whole life and I've always had a special bond with them. Dogs usually gravitate towards me because I am a very fun and light hearted person.

I am always checking on clients pets making sure they are safe and not getting into things they shouldn't. I am also certified in pet cpr and massage therapy incase a pet does get into distress or if they need some other help with pain.

About: My name is Kayela but you can call me Kaye. I am a nurse in Virginia Beach. But my real other passion is animals. A year prior to going into human medicine, I worked in the I veterinary field as a veterinary technician/assistant. I actually had plans to go to vet school, and then Covid hit; my pathway changed a little. But I don’t want that to stop me from making a difference in the animal world. I worked in the professional veterinary field for 5 years. I worked with all breeds, species, shapes, and colors of animals. I’ve worked with large animals, small animals, diseased and disabled animals. Therefore it would no reason for me not to accept your pet. I have animals of my own as well, 1 large breed dogs and 1 domestic short hair cat. I will love your animals like my own, cuddling included. I do have an extensive history of skills related to animal care as well. If you or your family have animals questions, concerns, or just curiosity in general about your animals well being, feel free to ask! I am starting to build a small clientele currently. I am open right now. Schedule could change. But just message me and we can work something out. I care for my animals more than the average person, due to the fact that I have worked in the animal medicine field. I believe a lot of issues/illnesses are preventable based on how you care for your pet. They are treated like humans in my opinion. They deserve the same attention, the same outdoor time, the same affection. They will be fed accordingly. I will also provide food recommendations as well as portion sizes based on my assessment. You can choose to follow my recommendations or continue to follow your own advice. I believe I can be very helpful with you and your care for your pets.
About: While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I’ve been a pet owner for years and understand the love, patience, and responsibility that comes with caring for animals. I currently have two cats and a puppy, so I’m experienced with daily feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets on their routines. Over the past month, I’ve also been caring for pets for others, and I’ve loved building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in caring hands. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I care for my own two cats and puppy every day, making sure they get fed, exercised, played with, and plenty of love and attention. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, potty breaks, and quality time with your pets. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident that their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and secure, just as if they were my own.
About: Hi! My name is Cali. I have had & taken care of dogs my whole life! I absolutely adore animals and will love them like they are my own. I have had small and large dogs, so I am very comfortable with any size. I am currently a full-time nanny for high energy twin boys. I work 7:40 - 4:30 Monday through Friday. I am completely free during most weekends. I live in a very quiet community so taking safe walks and being outside is stress free for pets. I can always crate your pet if needed
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. Growing up my family has always had golden retrievers along with a couple cats to be their siblings. I had the responsibility of feeding after school, walking, and sometimes grooming (the white fluffy hair got everywhere)! In high school I joined a friend in her start up business of walking dogs and have done small favors for neighbors regarding their pets. Since graduating and living downtown I definitely miss having my pets around! I would love to be able to take on some of those roles again! During the week I am off work around 2:30, so afternoon walks are perfect! Weekends I’m am typically available for whatever you may need! If notified a couple days in advance I should be all set! I am a very trust worthy individual with a background in caring for animals for 10+ years. I will always respect the privacy of one’s home. I wi also always make sure your pet is in a safe and loving environment.
About: I’m patient, reliable, and great with all pets! I have experience with basic puppy training and making sure pets stay active and happy. Your pet will get lots of love and attention while you're away! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. As a nursing student, I spend a lot of time studying, so having a pet actually helps me stay balanced. I like to use walks as study breaks because they give me a chance to clear my head and reset, especially when coursework gets intense. Morning walks are my favorite—they help me start the day feeling calm, focused, and energized. Caring for a pet fits well with my schedule because I’m already used to planning my time carefully, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy rather than see as a chore. I provide a safe, comfortable space and follow your pet’s routine. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure they get food, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention!

About: I changed the direction my life was going and found the REASON was Animal Care. I began volunteering at 2 local Humane Societies in 2013. Very shortly thereafter became employed at both Societies = working 7 days a week with animals. I adopted my first 2 pets (torti cats named Cali & Ava) in the Fall of 2013. Adopted a 3rd torti cat in the Spring of 2014 (named Hallie B). I adopted a chihuahua in the Fall of 2016 (named Clara my grandmother’s name). With the exception of Hallie B they have all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The 1st in December 2020 then June 2021 and most recently in May of this year :-( 🐾🐾🐾 They were adopted as Seniors. They were the best. After 4 years of Humane Society work I changed direction again in 2017 to a more professional aspect of Animal Care becoming employed at a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant for over 7 years. I have performed a number of cat drop-ins around the Gloucester area for various residents affiliated with the Humane Society. One such assignment lasted for almost two months while the cat’s owners traveled to Florida for the winter. I currently work (outside of Animal Care) OVERNIGHT 40 hours WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 8am to 2pm. Sunday thru Tuesday I am totally available. There is some flexibility with my overnight work and the possibility of a little accommodation for Animal Care. I also have to spare some time for my own cat’s care. Quality. Compassionate. Care. is what I provide pets. I want them to have the creature comforts that make them feel all warm and comfy and content.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I would go walk dogs with my grandpa and he would let me walk them. I am currently not working. I have plenty of time to spend with your cute pets. Those little fur babies will fit right on in with my day. If you need your little fur baby to be in a crate before I leave I am able to get them in nice and calm.

“Thank you for taking such good care of my baby. Loving the daily report cards. Anyone looking for a doggy sitter, Brandy comes highly recommended. Daily videos and photos were great. Thank you so much.”
“David was amazing and truly understanding. Our children had a track meet 4hrs away that went over in time by 3-4hrs. David’s flexibility to still provide loving care for our furbaby meant a lot to us.”
“Jessica is amazing!!!!! I have used her on multiple occasions and each time she has been a lifesaver especially when it’s last minute. She goes above and beyond with caring for my boys, she even made a birthday cake to celebrate for my Milo while I was out of town. My boys love her and her family.”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Shanae was professional, dependable, and incredibly caring with my dog. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Shanae went above and beyond to make sure all routines, feeding schedules, walks, and playtime were handled perfectly. When I returned home, it was obvious that my dog had been loved and cared for exceptionally well. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thanks again Shanae!”
“Stacy and her family were so so so kind and loving to my dog Bella!! Bella is 19 months old so definitely still in the puppy phase and Stacy was so welcoming and loving to her! I had to go out of town for a few days and I got updates with pictures and she truly spoiled her! I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for my Bella girl. Truly amazing at what she does!!!”
“I can tell my dogs love staying at Omaira & Isaac's because when I dropped them off this time, they went strait to playing! I travel a lot and usually when I drop them off at the boarder's or sitter's they get upset because they know I'm leaving, but not this time! It warmed my heart to see that my dogs enjoy themselves when I'm gone; it really decreases the dog-mommy guilt!”

“My very first time using Rover. And this was my very first time leaving Zora, ever! Before even dropping her off, Brittany communicated so well with me and assisted me comfortably. Experienced and attentive. I must say, I am very pleased! I could see that Zora had, had a great weekend with you and trusted you. From the pictures, I cannot thank you enough. I will definitely be using your service again. 😊 a new pink twin connection! Thank you Brittany! You are a blessing”
“Could not have been happier with Stephanie! She was fantastic from meet and greet to communication for the 20 days we were gone. We even had some headaches arise mid trip and Stephanie helped us to problem solve and pick up meds from the vet!”
“We’ve had them watch our babies 3 times now and they take wonderful care of them. Super grateful to have someone safe and trustworthy with our pets while we’re out of town.”
“Hannah communicated promptly from start to finish, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring. She is genuinely kind and clearly a true dog lover. She kept me updated with videos and pictures, which gave me peace of mind the whole time. When my dog was missing us and feeling a bit anxious, she lay down with him on the sofa to help calm him. She even took him on a morning walk without being asked, which I really appreciated. Overall, I’m very happy with her care and would definitely recommend her anytime.”
