Ashley was amazing. My rather shy kitty warmed up to her quickly. She dependably stopped by to feed my spoiled boy twice a day. She played with him and made sure he got his favorite treats. I’ll definitely trust Ashley to take care of my old boy again!!! 💕😻

About: I have two high energy doggies of my own so I’m totally used to keeping up and making sure they get that energy out. I also used to volunteer at the animal shelter playing with dogs all day I am currently working from home so my availability is pretty flexible to be able to do drop ins/ taking your furry friend on a walk or coming to stay the night with them ! I have two friendly dogs who’d love to play with yours if you needed them boarded , I also can easily crate dogs if that’s what you prefer when they’re left alone

Jamie was a very attentive cat sitter. She showed up on time and made sure my two older cats were well taken care of. I appreciated that Jamie let me know how things were going and asked questions. I would be happy to have her come again!

About: I am a 31 year old Nurse Practitioner living and working in the Virginia Beach area. I am a huge dog lover and would love to take care of your pets while you are away :) I live in a great neighborhood for walking trails, going to the beach, and have a fenced in backyard!! I recently lost my soul dog to cancer in March and would enjoy loving on your pups until I am ready for another of my own. I can’t wait to give the same care to your dog as I would want for mine ❤️ Looking forward to getting to know your animals!!! My schedule is somewhat random for hours but I am free most weekends all weekend and during the week am free all day on random days and after 3 pm on certain days. Will just need to coordinate schedules :) I am currently a pet free home so your pet would be receiving all of my love and attention! I have a fenced in yard and live close to walking trails!!

Trevor did an amazing job in taking care of my pup, making sure she had plenty of clean water and food everyday while we were away. He made sure to lock up every time he left ensuring our pup was secure in the yard. He also was kind enough to bring in our packages while away. We will definitely be using his services in the future. Thank you Trevor !

About: As a lifelong pet owner and former boarding facility employee, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all personalities. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’ll treat them like part of my own family. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! The only day I cannot do is Tuesday unless it’s between 4pm and 8pm Since I only provide care in my clients’ homes, my goal is to keep pets happy and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routine, make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care, and send regular updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: Since early childhood, I have had the blessing of having my own pets of all kinds and simultaneously caring for the pets of my friends and neighbors while they are unable to be home. As a lifelong animal lover, I am trusted by my clients time and time again to treat their fur babies as I would my own, and strive to make them as comfortable and happy as possible while their humans are away. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know each pet individually with their own unique personalities and quirks, and will always go the extra mile for them. My first dog was Eddy, a husky puppy that was my best companion until his golden years, and it was such an amazing experience- from training him as a puppy to caring for him as an adult and then a senior. I am quite knowledgeable about a plethora of dog breeds and would love the opportunity to give the best care to yours while you are away! I am currently working part-time, and have late afternoons and evenings free. I am also flexible some mornings and am open to overnight stays as well. I strive to care for your pet exactly as you would by adhering to their specific schedules and needs. I enjoy sending photos and updates to the owner as well (if desired) so that you feel more connected to your pet while away!

About: Purrsonalized cat care is my specialty, but I can care for your doggies as well. I am friendly and communicate well with both pets and people, so you can tell me what your pets needs, and your pet can too! I am available 4th of July weekend, all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday until about 1pm and after 9pm, so book early. I am available for hours not listed on the calendar, because there are not many options. In general I am available anytime Saturdays and after 3pm on Sundays, weekdays up til about 1 pm. and after 9 pm. I own my own home near the Virginia Beach Convention Center so I'm coming from there in the mornings or days off and when I'm working I'm coming from near Lynnhaven Mall, to help you gauge time frames. Even though I was a registered cat breeder, my cats lived inside my home as spoiled pets. I have a cat room with cat apartments, ramps, catwalks, scratchers and everything kitties love. I am building an outdoors catio right now. I am not using my home for boarding, but I can help cat families with ideas. I spoil my kitties. I love them to the moon and back, as I will yours! If you request more info from me, I'll share my Instagram with you and you can see how my own cats and those from me are spoiled as they should be.

Laura is the best! She took great care of my cats while I was on a weekend getaway. Laura is the ultimate cat whisperer — if you would like someone who not only makes sure the cats are fed and kitty litter cleaned, but goes above and beyond to spend quality time with your kitties while you’re away, I 100% recommend Laura to take care of your fur babies.
