“Our Finn was really happy when we picked him up, always a good sign. Jennifer B. seemed to be very caring and on top of taking care of the couple of dogs she was boarding at the time. We will be back !”
“Linda is a kind, reliable, and a wonderful pet sitter. Both my experiences have been totally positive, and I will continue to choose Linda as my preferred pet sitter!”
“Leo had an amazing time with Melissa and her family. She had her dogs which kept him busy and happy as he loves to play with others and he got plenty of cuddles. We did a meet and greet with the pups a week before the boarding to ensure wveryone got along well and i could already tell leo was in great hands and Melissa even assured me there would always be someone there just in case. The pictures Melissa sent as we were gone made me happy to see that he was getting spoiled and was having great naps and playtime. She updated me daily and ensured Leo was fed exactly what was needed and we would definitely love to have Leo come "sleepover" again.”
“She was absolutely wonderful! She was very kind, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about my puppy. She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. It made such a difference knowing my puppy was in good hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. 🐾”

“Our dog Lulu had a blast and was well cared for with Ellie! She was very proactive about getting all the details to make sure she was at home, and she had so much fun playing with her dogs! We would recommend her to anyone and ask to board with her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.
“Christine was excellent with us and took great care of Burt. She was caring and compassionate, and she sent a lot of photos/videos while we were gone. Even when Burt was having some issues because of a UTI, she made sure to attend to his needs and was very patient. She gave him medicines each day as well. We're very grateful for everything Christine did for us, and Burt is thankful too. :)”
“she was very nice and made us feel very comfortable leaving our pet in her care. She communicated with us during our vacation letting us know how our pet was doing during her stay. I recommend her to anyone who looking for a sitter for their pet ?. I look forward to do business with her again.”

“We just picked up our pup from Lindalyn. He spent 4 days with her. One of the greatest rover experiences we have had to date. She was so good at making sure he felt comfortable the whole time and constantly updated us with pictures and messages to assure us that everything was going great. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. Thanks Lindalyn!”
“Micaya was courteous and professional. She made sure to do a meet and greet with my dog and hers in a neutral spot before agreeing to boarding. During my dog's stay, Micaya was communicative and sent pictures and videos. My dog seemed very happy and adjusted well. I hope to use Macaya again. I highly recommend her!”
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
“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!”

“Sarah is exactly who you want to take care of your fur babies when you are away! I felt so at ease that my cat Pickles had the BEST care when I was away for work. Sarah leaves detailed notes about her visit and sends lot of photos which was something I looked forward to every day after her visit! The minute Pickles met Sarah he had an automatic connection with her—I was afraid he would be disappointed it was ME when I got home!!”
“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”
About: My name is Mallorie. I'm a mom. Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends. I have a Alaskan Malamute. Her name is Carly Rae. I've also adopted five stray cats. They showed up on my door step, and since then I've been taking care of them. Some of my hobbies are, hiking, camping, and swimming. My dog loves hiking with me. I'm excited to get to know your pet and care for them! 🐕 Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. An act as simple as refilling their food bowl at the same time every day is enough to make them feel comfortable in their living space. Proper pet care includes providing a safe and comfortable area. Frequency with letting out to use the bathroom. Making sure that your pet gets regular exercise, such as walks and play time.

“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.”
“Linda was able to accommodate Conchita on such a short notice, and I am so thankful she did! Conchita had such a good time with Linda, her family, and all her pets. I am so glad that her sweet dog matched my baby's energy. So happy with the experience she provided for her. Thank you Linda!”
About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, helped with friends and family animals. I have done training with most of my dogs as well. I am a new resident in the area and love animals.

“Corey and Monica were very friendly and took great care of Pepper. They sent photos throughout the day which I appreciated. They were accomodating and willing to work with me with some of Peppers anxiety issues. Will definitely be bringing Pepper back for future daycare :)”
“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!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with them, cared for and dog sat for over 15 years while being a nannny. I've had two dogs of my own as well. My family and I have recently lost our beloved pup and are desiring to spend time with yours to get all the dog snuggles and love we can! I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids. We are home daily and most weekends. We love for your sweet pup to hang with us during the day or stay with us during a vacation or long weekend away. We do not have a fenced in yard but have 2 acres of property that we would leash your dog and take for walks around the property. 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.
About: I believe this is an excellent way to incorporate my love for animals, and making money in my spare time. I can guarantee your pet’s safety and that he or she will get lots of love while they stay. My husband and I have two children. We live on 6 acres of land and I stay home. Your furry friend will be treated like one of ours. I will keep open communication with you throughout the duration of their stay, and ensure that your worries are at ease. I am a full time caregiver who works from home and will be home 24 hours a day. This will ensure that your pet is well looked after. I have an open yard and can take your pet on walks. We have a puppy who is 6 months old who can keep your fur baby company or be kept separate if needed.
About: I’m the person people call when their animals need real care — not just a walk around the block. I regularly foster puppies, kittens, and medical-case animals, so I’m used to everything from bottle babies to pets who need meds, deworming, wound care, and structured routines. Nothing fazes me. I work in animal care, and I’m hands-on every day with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m big on structure, safety, and making sure your pet feels secure, not stressed. Whether your dog is a stage-five clinger, a shy baby deer, or a chaos gremlin, I’ve probably fostered one just like them. I work a flexible bartending job but with the accompaniment of my boyfriend your furry friend will get the upmost attention and care! We follow strict routine that we customize to our current client or foster. I respect and reinforce owners boundaries. My home is optimized for animal safety and with my extensive animal care knowledge I am confidently able to provide a safe and structured environment.
About: Hi doggie parents! I’m a reliable and compassionate dog lover who truly enjoys caring for animals. Growing up around pets, I learned early on how much love, patience, and attention they need. One of my favorite memories is helping take care of my sister’s dog whenever she needed an extra hand. I spent time walking, feeding, and playing with him, and that experience showed me how rewarding it is to help pets feel safe, happy, and loved when their owners are away. I’m usually available through out the week days early morning for doggy day care or dog walks and I’m available for boarding anytime depending on your needs I have a fenced in yard and I spend time with any dog I take care of like their my own I take them for walks and I also play with them and my son do as well since he loves dogs too
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.

About: Hi 👋 My name is Brooke and I’m your 4-legged-baby‘s new best friend. I am both a dog and a cat person. I’ve had the privilege loving my own and have fostered many others. I have tons of experience with special needs pets, including special diets and administering medications. While getting paid to do something I love sounds amazing, safety is priority number 1. So go and enjoy yourself, I have everything under control 😉 While I do have to show up to my day job in order to maintain my cats life of luxury(and believe me he is demanding), I am an early bird so I can stop by first thing in the morning. I will head right over after work and again before bed. Unless you’d like me to have a sleep over with your pet so that they won’t feel lonely. I’m going to love your pet as if they were my own. I follow instructions and I don’t allow myself to become distracted. Your pet is my priority.

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.

“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”
“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of my dog Claire. She would send me update photos throughout my trip to ease my stress about how Claire was coping with us being gone. The difference between how happy Claire was when we returned proved that Alyssa is an incredible sitter and value compared to local kennels in the area.”
“Ashley did a fantastic job dog sitting Emma for me! Ashley was extremely professional and made sure to give me updates daily, including pictures of Emma. Ashley was happy to fulfill Emma’s daily routines as well as some extra care and attention. Thank you, Ashley!”
