“It was Abbey's first visit and she had a great time playing with the other dogs. It is like a doggy camp. No crates or cages. Stephanie and Max do not board aggressive dogs so we didn't have to worry like we do when we first enter a dog park.”
“Ms. Crystal, Thank you very much for take care of our fur baby. You have been exceptional with your updates, the pictures, and the care for Liam. We felt that he was safe and loved during his stay. Wonderful. Thanks again for yr support.”
“As always, Amanda and Scott are perfect! They are always so welcoming to our little guy and take such great care of him. They are the only people we turn to when we have a need for a sitter. Thank again!!”
“Lyra and Scott and their family totally loved on our little Sassafras. We are so appreciative of their care and all the pictures and updates. I would recommend them to anyone looking for care for their fur babies. Will use them again! ?”
“Victor (her husband) is who I met and spoke with the entire time. This was my second time using rover and I’m glad I didn’t give up after having a bad first time experience. I received daily videos and communication. It was comforting knowing my somewhat anxious prone pups were in a safe environment. They were even great with me picking them up 3 hours late due to airport delays. I will definitely recommending and rebooking for future excursions. Thanks again!”
“Jared was exceptional. He and his daughter took in our two golden retrievers as their own and I think that’s all we can ask for as a pet parent. I would highly recommend anyone staying in the Williamsburg choose Jared as your pet sitter. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Paul & Terri took such good care of our dog, and communicated frequently and sent many pictures too. He was able to go outside frequently which makes him very happy.”
“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.”
“Tara and her family were amazing with my dog. As a rescue, my dog is nervous in new situations. I appreciate all the great care that she provided. My dog had a great time and she cared for her with the same level of care that I would.”
“We are very satisfied with the service that Teona and Louelyn provided. I know it is not easy for providers to care for a pet with special needs but because of the quality of care you showed Georgie, I had peace of mind all throughout Georgie’s stay with you. Thank you so very much.”
“Deemie was very sweet and responsive! My dog took an instant liking to her and followed her sweet Chewie around. She was very accommodating to my senior dog and his needs. I’d happily recommend her services to anyone!”
“My dog, Teddy, absolutely loved staying with Savannah H and family! As soon as we arrived on the farm, Teddy didn’t turn back - he loved the environment and was ready to meet new friends. Savannah sent pictures so I knew that he was having fun and doing well. I was actually sad for Teddy that his stay was only for one night! I highly recommend Savannah H as she’s super kind and loves all animals!”
“Alana was amazing to Waldo. He is a picky eater. Only ate hamburgers. Daily she hand fed him to make sure he stayed healthy and didn't lose any weight. I know he is safe when she cares for him. Pictures n videos were so welcomed and you could tell Waldo was completely at home. Will definitely be back. Thanks Alana”
“Catherine is the BEST! You won’t be disappointed! If your looking for a nice home environment with a loving, caring person who will care for your dog like you do then I suggest you use her! I will continue to use her as long as she’s available!!!!!!”
“During a time when I had to be out of town for almost a month and my family could not keep my dog because of other obligations, Christene agreed to keep my sweet dog for this extended period of time. Elly seemed to be having a wonderful time in each of the daily photos that Christene sent me. I think Elly made herself completely at home even with other new animals that were boarding also on various occasions. I would definitely recommend her services and would happily take Elly there again, if the occasion arises.”
“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.”

“If I could give Renee 10 stars I would. She is amazing - kind, responsive, thoughtful, genuinely cares and showed a lot of heart while taking care of our very elderly cat when we were out of town. She kept us posted, gave us updates, sent us pictures, and was simply a delight. When we returned from our trip Renee had taken care of everything, made sure everything was tidy, and my cat was relaxed and happy and clearly well loved. Knowing our beloved pet (and family member) was in such good hands allowed me to actually relax!!!, which is priceless. I recommend Renee with lots of enthusiasm and zero reservations. She's a lifesaver!”
“Keller was fantastic! Great attitude, great communicator, and great with our senior kitty. Also, did wonderful job of handling some stuff at house to keep things running smoothly. Will definitely use Kellee again!!!!”
“Avery was willing to watch my cat back to back weekends which I greatly appreciated. She gave great updates (with lots of pics) and followed care instructions perfectly. Again, I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter!”

“Tanti gave my kitties all the love and attention they deserve while we went out of town. She did a fabulous job! Highly recommend Tanti and will certainly have her watch our kitties again the future”
“Marcos took great care of our kitties. His updates were informative, assuring us that everything was taken care of. He even went above and beyond to pick up medicine when we ran out due to poor planning. Additionally, one of our cats is very difficult for her medicine, but Marcos was able to handle her. We were very glad to come home to healthy, only mildly resentful kitties.”
“Sheryl was great with our dog and cat while we were away for the holidays. She was caring, attentive, and followed our instructions for medications to a T. I would definitely recommend to book with her!”
About: I have taken care of cats for a long time. I sit for neighbors very frequently and have even watched them for owners who have both cats and dogs. I have cleaned litter boxes and I pay special attention to their food needs/needs in general as each cat is unique! Please let me know if your cat needs any accommodations!
About: I have experience with all animal types including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds, pocket pets and some reptiles. I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs and 3 cats, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your pets and their needs while you are working, vacationing, etc. I can care for pets early before work, mid-day and late after work. On weekends my schedule can be more flexible depending on what activities I have going on. Any dogs that come into my home will be treated as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. Boarding dogs will have their own room to hang out in.
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.
“Chelsea did a wonderful job! She was greeted with a puke mess on the carpet to clean up. So sorry about that! Sienna did well--as much as she does when I'm gone. I'm sure she enjoyed getting out for a walk.”

“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.”
“This family takes great care of our pup. When I pulled into the drive and Rosy recognized where we were, she was super excited! They love her and Rosy loves them right back!”
“Lyra and Scott were the perfect dog sitters! Our beagle was welcomed right into their family and enjoyed the day she spent with them. They were easy to communicate with throughout the whole booking process and sent us pictures through the day to assure us she had settled in. We highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs!”
“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!”
“Lynn is very nice and kept me updated. Every so often she sent me pictures of Annie and their outings. Very communicative. I love that. We will definitely use Lynn again and will recommend her to friends. All in all it was a great day for Annie.”

Your babies will get great care and attention when I visit or stay over. I will respect and abide by any rules you personally have regarding that. I work my full time job from home so your pet will get 24-hour care as well as lots of love and attention if over night stays are needed.

I can administer oral or injectable meds if needed. I know I am the perfect person to love and care for your pet while you are away. You can have the peace of mind knowing they are loved and cared for as if they were part of our family. I have spent my entire life around animals! My mother raised and bred Dobermans for many years and we took in rescue dogs as fosters. I also grew up around horses and other farm animals. I am comfortable with any breed so long as they are pet and people friendly. Since I personally have owned and currently own animals, I really understand the value of making them part of the family, not just a "pet" I look forward to hearing from you! I work full ti.e from home. Whereever there is wifi i can work which gives me lots of flexibility. I am able schedule around my calls easily. I spend time outside playing when applicable and allow for plenty of cuddle time. I often send pics so you will always see and know that your baby is doing fine.
“Sandra was fantastic! We needed to leave our dog Samwise with somebody during an appointment because he gets separation anxiety in new places and she was flexible and very communicative.”
About: I love all animals and will treat them with as much love and care and attention as I would any living creature. All creatures deserve attention, validation, kindness, patience, and love. My specialties :). I work for myself making custom cakes, so have a very flexible schedule for your needs and can adjust as needed! I would love to be a part of your furry child's happiness and fulfillment!! I take great pride in my space and keep a tidy home free of all hazards to fuzzy critters, as I have 3 of my own. I take pride in my integrity and will always be upfront, direct and honest. I consider myself an individual of sound mind and judgment and will respect any space I am in as if it is my own. I love to have fun and animals are a big source of that for me. I never raise my voice and try to maintain a happy and calm environment for all the furry creatures around me.
“Shawna is the absolute Best. Just from 1 visit , I don’t want my Kash going to anyone else . She is so welcoming and gave any info I needed before the visit . My Kash was comfortable and when he warmed up he gave her a few laughs . She shared videos and keep me updated throughout the day. Definitely recommend. I will be booking with her more often 😊”
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.
“Ethel was great with our challenging Jack Russell. He is very anxious about being separated from his family but Ethel made him feel right at home. She made everything easier for all of us!”

About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve had two cats and three dogs. My three dogs all weigh over 120 pounds and I am able and used to taking care of big dogs. Well experienced in taking care of multiple animals in a home. I’m well also used to talking care of cats needs, including their needs for space, litter, and playtime. I also enjoy spending time with any animal. I am flexible and free to help whenever needed. When I return to college I’ll balance helping out with your fluffy friends and my academics I will customise my service based on client needs. At home I feed my cat in the morning and early evening, cleaning litter daily and frequent water changes. For my dogs who are maremmas they require specific dietary needs so I cook for them as well as feed them regular kibble. One of my dogs had also specific medical needs.
About: We’re a dog-loving family with experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. We have two dogs of our own: a senior Lab/hound mix and a middle-aged Great Dane. We’re comfortable with everything from energetic playtime to older dogs who prefer a slower pace, and we’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routines, feeding schedule, and house rules. We both work hybrid schedules, so someone is home with the dogs most of the time. Dogs get regular outdoor breaks throughout the day and plenty of attention and interaction. We’re happy to accommodate dogs who need more activity as well as those who are content to relax and hang out with us. We have a large, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside and play. Our fence is approximately 3 feet high and made of hog wire, so we’re best suited for dogs who aren’t jumpers or determined escape artists. Our own dogs respect the boundary. We also have a dog-loving 4-year-old, so dogs must be comfortable and safe around children. Our dogs are friendly and accustomed to sharing their space with other dogs. At night, visiting dogs sleep downstairs on their own dog bed or one of our designated “dog couches.” Crate-trained dogs are welcome to use their crate if that is what makes them most comfortable.

I would love to care for them.

About: I have taken care of pets for awhile and have owned pets throughout my life I love dogs and have two fur babies of my own and love them more than life. I love animals so much I hope I can bring a positive impact on your pets life I work 8:15-4:15 Monday through Fridays I’m available after 4:15 most days if needed but not for a long period of time. I am available most weekends I can come in for drop ins or dog walks I do not recommend to board in my home because my dogs are protective I would have to do a meet and greet if so. This would be my second time pet sitting but I will do my very best to give the best care for your pet I am very good about following rules
About: What most sets us apart is the level of care we give and how flexible our schedules are. Your dog will likely never be alone. They will also receive organic free range egg and meat snacks as a topper for their kibble, and if they are not at risk for eating chickens, they will have a large 2 acre fenced area to explore and run. If they do want to eat chickens, they will still receive two daily forest walk or runs and be free in the smaller pen or on a line. DIVERSE EXPERIENCE We have experience with all kinds of dogs, all ages and temperaments. We will ensure the puppies get proper potty training and are on a proper schedule (can be exactly as you specify). We can also help your dog to not jump up, not pull on the leash, and he'll with basic training like recall, sit, stay. We have cared for many an elderly dog helping them be as comfortable as possible. I was able to help a grieving dog, who did not want to do much of anything, to enjoy running through the woods and playing again. We also have safely had a blind dog in our care as well. I have been around dogs all my life, and I know how to help timid dogs relax, when to give them space and when they need me to simply love on them. For example, we had one dog who would run away from you, but when we finally set him on the couch and pet him he just about melted into a snuggly ball! TRAINING & PHILOSOPHIES I am often learning more about dog psychology and training methods. I only support dominance hierarchies to the extent that it helps the dog. If a dog believes they must be in control because they don’t have a good leader, they will be more stressed out. This is unfair to the dog. I will never be unnecessarily rough with your pet though and I use positive reinforcement first. I have used this experience with success on friends’ and acquaintances’ dogs, as well as my own. My dog sits for over a minute until I tell him to Come. I see each animal as a unique soul who is here to experience and learn. I will be patient with your pet, kind but firm, and we will have loads of fun! FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES I can accommodate many schedules, including crate training. I can bring the crate along if we will be gone longer than a half hour visiting the neighboring farm. I can ensure your pet is kept to whatever feeding and potty schedules they are comfortable with, especially with potty training puppies. I have one dog: a whippet mix. I let him in and out as he chooses, and have a couple acres for him to run and play on. I am currently working on the perimeter fence also. Scoop and I often play fetch. I love going for runs and walks and would happily bring your pup along, depending on his or her energy level. I have a healthy understanding of how to keep a healthy leash contact with the dog, and if need be, I am quite strong if I need to keep the dog from running. I like to use incredibly long leashes if the dog is a flight risk but doesn't pull too hard so they have room to explore.
“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 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 2025 :-( 🐾🐾🐾 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 SUNDAY thru WEDNESDAY. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 8am to 2pm. Thursday thru Saturday 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. See my reviews / testimonials on the WAG! platform for pets I have provided care for recently. 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.

I am attending VCU for my MSW M-F from 8-4, so I have limited availability for midday potty breaks/check-ins during the week, but I have open availability most evenings and weekends. For boarding requests, my partner works from my home and is available to offer potty breaks/check-ins for pets while I’m at school. I’m happy with staying overnight for housesitting or sharing my home for boarding! I have the utmost care and respect for my clients pets and homes and treat them as if they were my own. I make sure to communicate expectations as best as possible to make sure we’re all on the same page.

“It was Abbey's first visit and she had a great time playing with the other dogs. It is like a doggy camp. No crates or cages. Stephanie and Max do not board aggressive dogs so we didn't have to worry like we do when we first enter a dog park.”
“Ms. Crystal, Thank you very much for take care of our fur baby. You have been exceptional with your updates, the pictures, and the care for Liam. We felt that he was safe and loved during his stay. Wonderful. Thanks again for yr support.”
“As always, Amanda and Scott are perfect! They are always so welcoming to our little guy and take such great care of him. They are the only people we turn to when we have a need for a sitter. Thank again!!”
“Lyra and Scott and their family totally loved on our little Sassafras. We are so appreciative of their care and all the pictures and updates. I would recommend them to anyone looking for care for their fur babies. Will use them again! ?”
“Victor (her husband) is who I met and spoke with the entire time. This was my second time using rover and I’m glad I didn’t give up after having a bad first time experience. I received daily videos and communication. It was comforting knowing my somewhat anxious prone pups were in a safe environment. They were even great with me picking them up 3 hours late due to airport delays. I will definitely recommending and rebooking for future excursions. Thanks again!”
“Jared was exceptional. He and his daughter took in our two golden retrievers as their own and I think that’s all we can ask for as a pet parent. I would highly recommend anyone staying in the Williamsburg choose Jared as your pet sitter. We will definitely be using him again.”
“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.”
“Tara and her family were amazing with my dog. As a rescue, my dog is nervous in new situations. I appreciate all the great care that she provided. My dog had a great time and she cared for her with the same level of care that I would.”
“We are very satisfied with the service that Teona and Louelyn provided. I know it is not easy for providers to care for a pet with special needs but because of the quality of care you showed Georgie, I had peace of mind all throughout Georgie’s stay with you. Thank you so very much.”
“Deemie was very sweet and responsive! My dog took an instant liking to her and followed her sweet Chewie around. She was very accommodating to my senior dog and his needs. I’d happily recommend her services to anyone!”
“My dog, Teddy, absolutely loved staying with Savannah H and family! As soon as we arrived on the farm, Teddy didn’t turn back - he loved the environment and was ready to meet new friends. Savannah sent pictures so I knew that he was having fun and doing well. I was actually sad for Teddy that his stay was only for one night! I highly recommend Savannah H as she’s super kind and loves all animals!”
“Alana was amazing to Waldo. He is a picky eater. Only ate hamburgers. Daily she hand fed him to make sure he stayed healthy and didn't lose any weight. I know he is safe when she cares for him. Pictures n videos were so welcomed and you could tell Waldo was completely at home. Will definitely be back. Thanks Alana”
“Catherine is the BEST! You won’t be disappointed! If your looking for a nice home environment with a loving, caring person who will care for your dog like you do then I suggest you use her! I will continue to use her as long as she’s available!!!!!!”
“During a time when I had to be out of town for almost a month and my family could not keep my dog because of other obligations, Christene agreed to keep my sweet dog for this extended period of time. Elly seemed to be having a wonderful time in each of the daily photos that Christene sent me. I think Elly made herself completely at home even with other new animals that were boarding also on various occasions. I would definitely recommend her services and would happily take Elly there again, if the occasion arises.”
“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.”
“We couldn't have asked for a more kind and loving caregiver for our two dogs. Lindalyn was a wonderful first experience for our dogs to have a sleepover at someone's home. Her own dogs were sweet and accepting and it was reassuring to receive her pictures and updates. We would definitely book a return visit in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
“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.”
