“Shelly is awesome! She is very dog savvy and knowledgeable about dog behavior. Ace had a blast run in the fields and splashing in the puddles. I highly recommend Shelly!”
“This was my first time using any dog sitter, not just Rober. Rachel was awesome with my dog! She took perfect care of her and sent me pics every day to show me how she was doing and gave plenty of updates as well. I will definitely be using her again when we need someone to watch her for us. Thanks again Rachel!!!”

“It was Bandits 1st time away from us. Megan and her husband were very welcoming. They took great care of him. She very knowledgeable and loves all animals. If you need a sitter, look no further than Megan.”
“When you pick up your pups from a sitter, you just know in your gut if they had a good visit or an "okay" visit, especially for a week+. My partner told me not to give too good a review so that they won't get booked up too much :D The pups are happy, safe and well cared for. Pictures and videos often. We really appreciate how much they treat them like their own!”
“Robert and Taylor took amazing care of my young pitbull. They are very kind and friendly and really care about the well being of my baby. I will definitely be booking with them in the future.”
“Top Notch as usual, Wesley "Whitney" B. keeps you updated with what your pup is up to via pictures, video and brief written updates. Bryson, my dog, gets lots of play time with other dogs, attention and walks.”
“For being a first time user and having my dog watched for the first time, I'm absolutely overly satisfied with the services we received! Communication was there, the process of meeting and greeting was smooth and easy, pictures were sent to me throughout my vacation(I LOVED), and just having the overall feeling that my dog was okay safe and well taken care of was a big PLUS for me being on vacation on the other side of the world! I could sit here and write a whole paragraph or more on all of the positive and my experience but, I will keep it short and say I just HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you again for your services!”
About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had the joy of caring for animals of every size and personality. From dogs and cats to birds and fish, I’ve spent a lifetime giving animals the love, attention, and structure they need to feel safe and happy. I’ve been involved in competitive field trials, obedience training, and plenty of everyday fur baby fun, and those experiences have taught me how to connect with pets in a way that feels natural and reassuring. Whether through boarding at my house or drop in visits at yours you can be assured your pet will be well taken care of. Your pet will enjoy our fenced‑in backyard, daily walks, and plenty of one‑on‑one attention. I share my home with two children, two dogs, and three cats, so we understand exactly how important it is to have a dependable sitter your family can trust. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely to include: feeding schedule, playtime, medications, and any other special instructions because consistency helps them feel right at home. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own, and I’m committed to giving them a safe, loving, and comfortable stay every time. I have a flexible and accommodating schedule to for weekday and weekend boarding or drop in visits. I can be available for most last minute request and would love to take the stress out of finding someone to watch your pets. I have a fenced in yard that offers plenty of room to run and play. When not outside, your pet will be able to roam free in the downstairs of our house while being entertained and closely monitored.
“You can tell Amanda really loves animals like her own. She took care of our two dogs while we were on an extended trip. She sent lots of updates. She also dealt with an increasingly worsening medical issue and took our dog to the hospital on our behalf. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and went above and beyond in caring for our pups!”
“Very flexible and willing to assist in very unorthodox situations. She demonstrated true caring and interest for my 9 month old German shepherd puppy and went out of her way to accomodate me and him.”
“Jaime and her family were so kind and great to my fur-baby. I appreciated the periodic check ins and pics she sent me. I think Casper had a great time and with the kids especially because he did not want to get in the car to go home. Even after we got home he was sad for a few days. I highly recommend her and hope Casper can come back in the future. Thank you Jamie!”
“Jane and her family were able to take my request during a last minute change of plans on my part, and made to make Rogue feel at home as soon as she walked in the door. We were all sad when Rogue had to finally leave but they took such good care of her during her stay and I'll definitely be contacting them again if I ever need a sitter 💙”

“My dog Ceasar let's me know when he enjoys his stay when I board him over night. It was clear that he enjoyed his stay with Alexandria and her family. She provided photos to allow us to see first hand that he was okay. He's spoiled and I could tell that he was pampered because when we returned home he was relaxed.”
“Thank you Mary for taking such good care of our boy, Tanner. He was so happy and really enjoyed his visit with you and your girl. I will be definitely keeping you in mind for future overnights for Tanner. Thank you again!”

About: Cat sitting is a calm and rewarding experience. When I arrive, I make sure the cat has fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. At first, some cats may be shy and keep their distance, so I give them space and move gently around them. Over time, the cats become more comfortable. Some will come up for attention, while others prefer to relax nearby. I follow their routine and pay attention to their behavior to make sure they are happy and healthy. Cat sitting is about being patient, respectful, and making sure the cat feels safe and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog and my aunt’s dog since I was nine. I’m twenty 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 but I have all online classes this upcoming Fall semester amd I live on campus but can be at home when needed for boarding. I go to ODU so I can take business there as well but mainly for dog walking or pet sitting at your residence in the nearby area. I do rely on my mother, brother or friends for transportation but they are willing to help and 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. :)

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.

Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and it brings joy and balance to our rhythm at home.

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.

I offer a variety of services, including feedings, medication administration, doggy daycare, drop in visits, walks, and more. I am flexible, dependable, and easy to work with, and I am always happy to accommodate special requests whenever possible.

My children have been raised around animals and understand how to respectfully approach and interact with pets that are not our own. Over the years, I have provided pet and house sitting services for many families, and I have several references who would be happy to speak about my reliability, trustworthiness, and the quality of care I provide.

I also keep an extra kennel available for dogs who prefer having a quiet space of their own to relax, nap, or unwind. Whether your dog enjoys being part of the action or appreciates a little personal space, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment where they can feel right at home. I do not have a fenced in yard but we live on 5 acres with plenty of space to run around and exercise if your companion is staying at my home.

“Nikolaas has been amazing with our two dogs. Both our boys are older (aka stubborn) and can have a lot of energy on a leash. Nikolaas’ energy calms them and he redirects them perfectly so they enjoy their walks stress free. They enjoy seeing Nikolaas when he arrives. They became instant friends. Nikolaas was very thorough in his interview with us and asked a lot of questions. We asked a lot of questions too and feel very happy we chose him as a walker and a friend to our dogs.”

From early morning potty breaks and structured play sessions to training lessons and calm evening wind-downs, every part of my day is designed to meet each pup’s individual needs. This isn’t a side job or a hobby — it’s my passion and profession. Your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, pets are cared for with a structured, safe, and loving routine that supports both their physical and mental well-being.

For those enrolled in training, I incorporate clear, consistent guidance into daily routines to reinforce good behavior in real-life situations. Each pup gets one-on-one attention, daily check-ins, and plenty of love — all while maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Cleanliness, safety, and respect for each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities.

Thanks again Rachel!!!”

“When you pick up your pups from a sitter, you just know in your gut if they had a good visit or an "okay" visit, especially for a week+. My partner told me not to give too good a review so that they won't get booked up too much :D The pups are happy, safe and well cared for. Pictures and videos often. We really appreciate how much they treat them like their own!”

Communication was there, the process of meeting and greeting was smooth and easy, pictures were sent to me throughout my vacation(I LOVED), and just having the overall feeling that my dog was okay safe and well taken care of was a big PLUS for me being on vacation on the other side of the world! I could sit here and write a whole paragraph or more on all of the positive and my experience but, I will keep it short and say I just HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you again for your services!”
“You can tell Amanda really loves animals like her own. She took care of our two dogs while we were on an extended trip. She sent lots of updates.

She kept us in the loop every step of the way and went above and beyond in caring for our pups!”

The cats roam the house as they please but they love to be by my side more than anything! My dog spends so much time outside playing and gets a long walk every day!
“My dog Ceasar let's me know when he enjoys his stay when I board him over night. It was clear that he enjoyed his stay with Alexandria and her family. She provided photos to allow us to see first hand that he was okay. He's spoiled and I could tell that he was pampered because when we returned home he was relaxed.”
