“Couldn't be happier. My dogs LOVED Shelly and did not want to come home. Shelly is very responsive and sent updates so I could feel at ease. Absolutely wonderful experience.”
“Rachel has been such a blessing for us! My pup Arrow absolutely loves her and her family. It gives me such peace of mind to know he has a second home at Ms. Rachel’s house. The first time he stayed with her we hadn’t had him very long and he was very nervous which gave him the runs unfortunately. But that didn’t stop Rachel from working with us to help him for future visits. We live in the same neighborhood and sometimes see her out walking and Arrow gets so excited to say hi to her, it fills my heart with love to know and see how much he loves her.”
“She was absolutely great with our pup. He was well taken care of and she kept me updated with pictures and videos through out our time away. I highly recommend her.”

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.
“Mary is AMAZING! Very welcoming and I even got a couple pictures of my fur-baby having the time of her life while hanging out w/Mary, Socks, and another puppers she was sitting. We did a meet-and-greet before officially confirming the booking which solidified my comfort that Koda would be in good care. Mary has a large fenced in yard on a larger plot of land. Her prices are MORE than fair, so I was sure to give her a lil something extra when picking up my girl. THANK YOU MARY!! I know Koda will be happy to see you and Socks again on my next trip. <3”

He even got spoiled with a car ride, field trip to Lowe’s, nightly energetic play time and sleeping in their bed like at home.

“Came over before our trip for a meet and greet with the dogs as well as us. Great communication. Consistent and sent updates regularly. We were able to go 6 hours away for the first time in years without worrying if our fur babies were taken care of. Truly a blessing.”
“Robbyn is so amazing and patient. My fur babies didn't come out from hiding but she was very understanding about it. I truly appreciate her!! And will definitely book her again!! Thank you Robbyn!!”
“First time experience using Rover & Alyssa was a blessing!! My two kitties warmed up to her in no time and she kept me up to date with pictures! She even left a sweet little gift for them after her care this weekend. ? I will definitely be reaching out for her again!”
“I can’t recommend Kaylan enough! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond, not just checking the boxes, but truly caring for my animals like they were her own. Her updates were the perfect mix of hilarious and helpful (seriously, I looked forward to them like a mini comedy show), and they gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The real magic? My skittish barn cat, who usually acts like humans are a myth, actually walked past her like she belonged there. That’s a miracle in itself and says everything about her energy and patience. She clearly has a genuine knack for animals, even the tough cookies. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only responsible but has a true gift with animals (and a great sense of humor), Kaylan is the one!”
“Robert was amazing with my two dogs! He kept me updated with photos and took great care of them while I was away. They were happy and relaxed when I got back. Highly recommend him!”
“Ginny is amazing! My dog warmed up to her as soon as she stepped in and Ginny made us all feel super comfortable about her care. Would strongly recommend, and we will be using her regular!”
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: You can finally relax knowing your pet will be safe, treated like family and given all the love. Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom located in the Hilton area of Newport News. I’m active, reliable, and available from early mornings until late afternoon. I’ve cared for everything from a home full of 7 cats and 4 labradoodles (all at once!) to countless pets belonging to friends, family, and friends of friends. I have a 6 year old son with special needs who absolutely adores pets so if you’re looking for boarding, please make sure your pet is child-friendly. During the day however, he’s in school and I will be able to cover those who may not be small child friendly. I don’t mind hopping in the car to take your pup to the park or on a trail if they need more than just a quick lap around the block. I’m a big morning person who thrives on routine but, full disclosure, I avoid rush hour or late-night driving since my son is with me after 3:30 p.m. Monday–Friday. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or a place to stay while you’re away, I am here to help. Just drop me and line❤️ I’m available Mon-Fri from 5am-5pm for walks, parks, even just a home visit and car ride if your pet just needs some 1:1 during work hours. Weekends are limited so send me a message during the week to check availability. I have a large yard but it is not fenced. My son and I enjoy walking whenever we can around our neighborhood in Hilton. I have a pet and baby proof clean home with a gentle loving child. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me so you won’t have to worry about anyone making a mess and it not being cleaned up.

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet and your home in capable & caring hands when you have to be away. You will find me to be a laidback, easygoing and trustworthy home and pet sitter. I have years of experience as both a home owner and a pet owner, as well as considerable experience house/pet sitting throughout the mid-Atlantic area. I've been awarded the "Best of Thumbtack" award in the past, and have excellent reviews there. I truly care about the animals and homes placed in my care and am respectful, responsible and honest. House and pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with other animals, and get to know new areas. As a pet owner myself, I enjoy offering other owners peace of mind when leaving their loved ones behind for an out-of-town trip. I know how important it is for me that my own kitty and, now, chickens (!) are safe and loved while I'm away, so I like that I can do that for other people, as well.

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 am flexible, dependable, and easy to work with, and I am always happy to accommodate special requests whenever possible. I do have three children, so I ask that any pets staying in my home are comfortable around kids. 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 understand that your pets are part of your family, and I will care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your canine companion(s)! As a teacher, I am home for the summer, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Your pup will rarely be left alone, and if I do have any planned outings during their stay, I will always let you know in advance so you can feel completely comfortable. 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.”

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! She even went above and beyond walking the dogs for a long time before and after the wedding! If we lived locally in Newport News we would DEFINITELY us her again. I highly recommend her and her services!”
About: What makes me different is the level of care, patience, and versatility I bring to every animal I look after. I’m not just here to cover the basics—I focus on making sure each animal feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’m experienced with a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to large and farm animals like horses, goats, and chickens. This means I’m comfortable handling different routines, environments, and responsibilities with confidence. I also have a strong understanding of pets who need extra support, including seniors and those with anxiety. I take a calm, gentle approach, move at their pace, and prioritize building trust so they feel secure while you’re away. I pay close attention to small details—changes in behavior, appetite, or mood—so nothing gets overlooked. Combined with reliable communication and consistent updates, you can feel confident your animals are in capable, caring hands. Animals have been a constant part of my life, and caring for them is something I take seriously and genuinely enjoy. I provide reliable, attentive pet sitting for families who want their pets to feel safe, comfortable and loved while away. Whether it is daily walks, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm, lovable and predictable routine that helps them feel secure. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, cats with all different personalities, small and large animals who need gentle, constant care. I pay close attention to behavior changes, eating habits, and comfort levels so you always know how your pet is doing. Communication matters a great deal, so I send updates, photos, and notes to keep you connected. My goal is simple, to treat your pet like they are my own and make those time away as stress-free as possible! I provide loving, reliable sitting, giving your pet a safe, calm, and comfortable place to stay while you’re away. I treat them as part of my own pets. Keeping routines consistent and their environment peaceful.

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.

“Couldn't be happier. My dogs LOVED Shelly and did not want to come home. Shelly is very responsive and sent updates so I could feel at ease. Absolutely wonderful experience.”
“Rachel has been such a blessing for us! My pup Arrow absolutely loves her and her family. It gives me such peace of mind to know he has a second home at Ms. Rachel’s house. The first time he stayed with her we hadn’t had him very long and he was very nervous which gave him the runs unfortunately. But that didn’t stop Rachel from working with us to help him for future visits. We live in the same neighborhood and sometimes see her out walking and Arrow gets so excited to say hi to her, it fills my heart with love to know and see how much he loves her.”

We really appreciate how much they treat them like their own!”

“Mary is AMAZING! Very welcoming and I even got a couple pictures of my fur-baby having the time of her life while hanging out w/Mary, Socks, and another puppers she was sitting. We did a meet-and-greet before officially confirming the booking which solidified my comfort that Koda would be in good care. Mary has a large fenced in yard on a larger plot of land. Her prices are MORE than fair, so I was sure to give her a lil something extra when picking up my girl. THANK YOU MARY!! I know Koda will be happy to see you and Socks again on my next trip. <3”
