“Once again, Omaira Z. provided exceptional care for my sweet Diamond during her stay from July 16, 2026 through July 21, 2026. Every experience with Omaira reminds me why I continue to book with her. She kept me informed every single day with thoughtful updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Knowing that Diamond was safe, loved, and receiving such attentive care allowed me to focus on my trip without a single concern. The greatest testament to Omaira’s care is Diamond herself. She absolutely loves Omaira, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, a dog knows! Diamond is always happy, comfortable, and well cared for when she’s with her. That kind of trust and affection can’t be faked. Omaira doesn’t just watch dogs, she genuinely loves them as if they were her own. Her kindness, attentiveness, and dedication shine through in everything she does. I am beyond grateful for Omaira Z., and I will continue to book with her whenever I need a sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will provide outstanding care, genuine love, and complete peace of mind for their fur baby. She is simply the best! ❤️🐾🥰”

“Our cat spent three weeks under Paul and Terri’s care. We received regular updates on our cat, and it was apparent they treated our kitty as if he was their own. His living conditions and care was superb. When we picked up our cat, he was super relaxed and in great condition. Kudos to Paul and Terri for being so caring and professional boarding animals left in their care.”

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”

“This was my first experience leaving any of my animals with a stranger. 10 minutes after I met Jessica, I didn’t feel I was leaving him with a stranger any longer! Her and her family treated my little family member (Highway) like a family member. I am very pleased with my Rover and Jessica experience.”
“Our Dixie had a wonderful stay with Shania and her family. We were sent pictures and updates during Dixie’s stay. She was well taken care of and we will definitely be planning another stay with Shania.”

“This was the longest I have ever been away from Simba (8 days)…he started off slow but Priscilla took care of him as if he was her own. She didn’t hide the fact that he was sad the 1st night…many sitters would have just said he is doing great. She made him feel at home and loved on him like I would. I appreciate Priscilla’s commitment and would highly recommend her for your pet.”
“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!”
“Jackie and Kevin did great with our babies. They were very responsive and gave updates. My pups are a little spoiled and one requires daily medications, but Jackie made us feel comfortable that everything would be fine and it wasn't a hassle. I'd recommend them and would rebook in the future.”
“Cheyanne is truly amazing, very responsive, kind, and communicative. This is my very first time boarding and she made the experience very easy. Thank you so much Cheyanne!”
“This is the 2nd time Amanda and Scott have watched my dog and they were just as amazing as the first time. They always send me pictures and update me on how my little buddy is doing… they always take such good care of him.”
“Constance is a really special person. Great communicator, kind and open. She was open to do a meet and greet before Teddys actual staycation and allowed us to see her home and meet her pets to make sure everyone gets along. Once we dropped Teddy off she sent pictures every day! Communicated very clearly and kept me informed of Teddys well being. She was accommodating when we had little curve balls thrown at us and we have absolutely no complaints at all. Your fur babies will be in good hands with Constance! We will be booking again for our next vacation.”
“Tameka was an amazing caregiver for my two weenie dogs! I was so happy to be able to keep them together in a lovely home environment. Tameka was very attentive to my dogs needs and provided me with lots of updates and cute photos. Thank you Tameka!”
“Hillary was great. She communicated frequently and sent reassuring updates and photos throughout our week away. We have two dogs and wanted them somewhere they’d get a lot of attention and affection, which is exactly what they got with Hillary and her family. The photos showed our dogs relaxed, on walks, and often curled up in laps—clearly comfortable and well cared for. Midweek, one of our dogs had an upset stomach, and Hillary was proactive, attentive, and accommodating in handling it. She was a pleasure to interact with from start to finish, and I’m truly grateful for the care she gave our dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”

“Audry did a great job looking after our three kitties. She took time to play with them and make friends. She sent us pictures each visit and provided updates on their daily habits. Will absolutely ask her to watch the cats again in the future.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Christine! She stayed at my house for a month while I was away, and did a great job taking care of my cat and home. I got lots updates and everything was great. Thanks!”

Over the years, I have personally raised and cared for three dogs of my own, each with different personalities and needs, which taught me patience, structure, and how to connect with animals on an individual level.

“Cheyanne kept my Scooby for the holidays and not once ever made me feel like he wasn’t in good hands. She cared for our boy and kept us up to date on everything. So grateful for her services and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“They took the best care of my pup Georgia!! She played all day long which was apparent in how tired she was when we got home. Jessica has a great house and backyard for the pups. Your due child will be in good hands!”
“I could rave about how absolutely amazing Samantha was with my Khaleesi for hours, but I’ll keep it short for reading purposes. My dog Khaleesi is a high anxiety dog and does not do well with strangers and typically hides from them. Samantha had her during the day for 3 days, and from day 1 Khaleesi took right to her. It did take some warming up time, but Samantha kept me very updated and sent pictures throughout the day. By the end of the 3 days, Khaleesi was walking into Samantha’s house without hesitation and didn’t even turn around to look at me. Samantha is incredible and I highly recommend her!!!!”
“Harvey happily spend a full day with Christene. She is very convenient to Colonial Williamsburg, easy to schedule & communicate with. She took great care of Harvey, he was happy & exhausted after a fun day!”
“My pups loved their visit with Shawna. She sent lots of pics so we could see how they spent the day, which was much appreciated. We will definitely bring the dogs to her again!”
“Elisabeth was great with my Goldendoodle. We were racing at the dragstrip, had our dog with us &wanted to go have some fun on Fremont street. Elisabeth met us & dog sitted for us. Dixie felt very comfortable going with her & was happy when we met to pick her up! I would definitely have her watch our girl again! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Andrea, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, starting when I was 11 years old. My experience started with my aunt’s two Shih Tzus, whom I helped care for from puppyhood until they passed away from old age. Since then, dogs have always been a big part of my life. I currently have three dogs back in my home country and a mini Labradoodle named Ember here in the US. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including giving oral medications and supporting daily routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, and basic training. I enjoy teaching simple commands because it helps build trust and confidence between dogs and their environment. I treat every dog with patients, care, and respect as part of my own family. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to be present and attentive to pets throughout the day. I am able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, and supervised playtime based on each dog’s needs. I am generally home for most of the day, and my schedule allows me to check on pets frequently and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide care in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly apartment designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. I only accept one client or one family at a time to ensure a low-stress environment and close supervision. All pets are introduced slowly and carefully, and interactions with my dog Ember are always supervised. If needed, pets can be separated to ensure they feel comfortable and secure at all times. Because my home has carpeted flooring, I only accept dogs that are reliably house-trained. This helps maintain a clean and comfortable space for all pets in my care. The environment in structured to allow dogs to rest, relax, and adjust comfortably while still having a safe and supervised space throughout their stay.
“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!”
“Lisa was extremely patient and sweet with my challenging pup! She is so dedicated to helping nervous dogs with separation anxiety do their best. Very grateful for her dedication and highly recommend!”
“Fantastic experience. Scott and Lyra treated Orbit like one of their own. The second day we dropped him off, Orbit ran over to them wagging his tail. He was happy to visit them again. 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 have been caring for dogs since I was young, there's never been a point in my life where I didn't have dogs in the house. I lost my old lady dog three years ago but since then I’ve been sitting for others to fill the hole in my heart and home. I love older dogs who like to cuddle and hang out all day, but truly I am just a dog person. I’m currently unemployed so I have all day to love on these pups. I like to be active and have access to local trails so we can take walks and enjoy the weather. I don’t like to take risks with dogs, I will not allow a dog I’m caring for to meet other dogs or random people in my care. I have no children and no other pets.
About: I have volunteered at the local shelters since I was 9 years old. I am in school for my vet technician degree currently. I have worked at a pet store. I am doing an externship with a local vet as well. I am currently working part-time at the aquarium. I am also doing an externship with a local vet. I am in school for my marine biology bachelor's and veterinary science associate. I love all animals, and having three little fur babies, I would treat your baby no different than mine. I will always follow all the rules that are set by the owner. If I have any questions I will not hesitate to ask them. I will always keep the owner up to date as to what is going on to the best of my ability.

“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!

About: Hi! My name is Fallon and I am here to give loving, patient, reliable care to your pets. I have been around animals my whole life. This includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I enjoy all of them. I have previously worked as a vet assistant . I am a frequent visitor to the Isle of Wight animal shelter, where i walk the dogs. I have also fostered both cats and dogs and found them their forever homes. I am patient, loving, reliable and have experience handling all types of breeds. Please contact me for your animal needs . Thank you! I’m a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I am available mostly in the mornings when my kids are in school and can do some afternoons Safety and trust with dogs come from understanding their behavior and creating a calm, respectful environment. When people interact gently, respect a dog’s space, and pay attention to signs of stress, dogs are more likely to feel secure and respond positively. Consistent routines, supervision—especially around children—and clear boundaries help build trust, reduce fear, and keep both people and dogs safe.

I schedule my work and personal activities around my pet care responsibilities, ensuring that each pet receives consistent and attentive care. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various needs, whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or extended care. This dedication ensures that every pet in my care feels loved, safe, and well-attended to throughout the week. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets by providing a designated area with comfortable bedding, toys, and plenty of space to roam. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring each pet feels at home. I also have a secure backyard for supervised outdoor activities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine. I ensure their environment is clean, provide fresh food and water, and engage in regular play and exercise. I also send daily updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pet’s well-being. My goal is to provide personalized, attentive care that meets each pet’s specific needs, whether at my home or theirs.

“Once again, Omaira Z. provided exceptional care for my sweet Diamond during her stay from July 16, 2026 through July 21, 2026. Every experience with Omaira reminds me why I continue to book with her. She kept me informed every single day with thoughtful updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Knowing that Diamond was safe, loved, and receiving such attentive care allowed me to focus on my trip without a single concern. The greatest testament to Omaira’s care is Diamond herself. She absolutely loves Omaira, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, a dog knows! Diamond is always happy, comfortable, and well cared for when she’s with her. That kind of trust and affection can’t be faked. Omaira doesn’t just watch dogs, she genuinely loves them as if they were her own. Her kindness, attentiveness, and dedication shine through in everything she does. I am beyond grateful for Omaira Z., and I will continue to book with her whenever I need a sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will provide outstanding care, genuine love, and complete peace of mind for their fur baby. She is simply the best! ❤️🐾🥰”
“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”

“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!”
“Jackie and Kevin did great with our babies. They were very responsive and gave updates. My pups are a little spoiled and one requires daily medications, but Jackie made us feel comfortable that everything would be fine and it wasn't a hassle. I'd recommend them and would rebook in the future.”
“Cheyanne is truly amazing, very responsive, kind, and communicative. This is my very first time boarding and she made the experience very easy. Thank you so much Cheyanne!”
“This is the 2nd time Amanda and Scott have watched my dog and they were just as amazing as the first time. They always send me pictures and update me on how my little buddy is doing… they always take such good care of him.”
“Hillary was great. She communicated frequently and sent reassuring updates and photos throughout our week away. We have two dogs and wanted them somewhere they’d get a lot of attention and affection, which is exactly what they got with Hillary and her family. The photos showed our dogs relaxed, on walks, and often curled up in laps—clearly comfortable and well cared for. Midweek, one of our dogs had an upset stomach, and Hillary was proactive, attentive, and accommodating in handling it. She was a pleasure to interact with from start to finish, and I’m truly grateful for the care she gave our dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”

“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful! Our Teddy is a finicky eater. She cooked Teddy his gizzards. Lisa also sent alot of pictures showing Teddy enjoying his stay with her. Lisa will be our first choice when we can't bring dogs on vacation!”
“We boarded our cockapoo with Jared for 6 nights. Our dog loves people and is very interactive and playful, with high energy, so we wanted a sitter who would be good with him. Jared turned out to be a good match. He was easy going and attentive to Griffin’s needs. Jared communicated with us well and sent pictures of Griffin almost daily to let us know how he was doing. We would highly recommend Jared and will book another stay for Griffin in the future.”
“Rodney is amazing! He took good care of our sweet standard poodle while we were out of town. Very responsive and friendly. My dog had the best days while staying with him. Highly recommend him!”
