About: Hi there! I’m Ronda, and along with my partner Brian, we make the perfect duo for all your pet sitting needs! We don’t have pets of our own, but we’re always surrounded by family dogs and pets, so we have plenty of animal love to go around! We have experience with pets of all ages and energy levels, so whether your furry friend is a playful puppy or a calm senior, we’ve got it covered. We live in an apartment with access to a large park and work from home, so your pet will enjoy frequent walks and lots of attention. Please note HouseSit and Boarding in a hotel/motel will not be accepted due to safety reasons. Thank you for understanding that safety for both parties is a priority! Thank you for considering us to be your pet’s sitter/walker! I currently work full time but I work from home so I’m available to keep on eye on your animal all day/night and provide lots of love My partner and I currently live in an apartment. It’s small but mighty. I do live near a park so I’m able to take your fur baby out frequently.
“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: Had a dog growing up; cat for 6 years of my adult life Got into pet sitting for a family with 2 dogs, 3 cats — really enjoyed being active with their dogs and spending time with their pets when needed. I work full time from roughly 8:30-5:00pm I work remote at my home 2-3x a week My hobbies include being active running/walking; so what a perfect way to also spend time with animals as well. Love to travel so schedule can vary. Fenced yard with outdoor grass area. I live near the oceanfront, so I love to be active and walk around my neighborhood and or boardwalk.
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!
“Brittany is just the best! We are so happy to have met her! Knowing the pups are in such good hands means we don’t have to worry about making plans without them. And they love her too!”

“Annika is a great pet sitter. She provided daily "over the top" pet reports. Plus, my timid cat finally warmed up to Annika and chatted with her. I will definitely hire her again.”

“Jamie was great! I requested her help during a holiday with short notice, and she fulfilled all the needs that my (high maintenance) cat needed. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 due to my love of animals and my need to share my affection with them. From walking to feeding to playing with them, I have years of experience in properly caring for these sweet animals. In addition to caring for others pets, I’ve had 2 great danes in my lifetime, one who is still alive thankfully, so I understand the prospect of a gentle giant and love them with all of my heart. Don’t get me wrong though — I love tiny puppies just as much and they also hold a special place in my heart:) I am recent graduate from The University of Tennessee and am living with my mom in Virginia Beach. I’m currently looking for a long-term job but in the mean time am looking to make money taking care of animals. I’m free any day of the week at any time of the day, excluding an occasional trip or two with my family. I have a bug car so I can drive to wherever I’m needed and can also transport any size dog:) I love animals so much, and with that, I love giving them my attention. I’m an active person so I’m more than happy to play with them, take them of walks, etc. Alternatively, I can also appreciate a nice day in, so if a chill morning or afternoon is what your pet needed, I’d be just as happy to do that with them. I have the experience of owning both a dog and multiple cats so I understand the routine of feeding them, letting them out, etc.

About: Great with dogs and cats. Have had owned 2 senior dogs with special needs and many cats. Happy to also check on house and bring in packages while you are away. I work a full-time corporate job, but I have some flexibility to visit up to 2 times a day, every day except Tuesday and Wednesday. I will provide attentive, reliable care for your pets in the comfort of your home, ensuring their safety, routine, and well-being are maintained at all times. I respect your space and privacy, follow all instructions carefully, and prioritize trust through consistent communication and responsible, compassionate care.
“Tara was super helpful and available to us last second! Had patience with our little old man and gave him lots of belly rubs! Thank you again for being awesome!”
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Tucker! He certainly enjoyed his walks with you and thanks you for the treats. Will be in touch next time we’re in town. We will also recommend you! 5-Stars And Beyond!”

“Discovered Laura and her helpful daughter on a last minute trip. They were great with Roxie and provided excellent communication on the drop in visits.”

“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: 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
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, of all types. My most recent breed was a Saint Bernard/Great Pyrenees. *He is not with me currently* I’ve had other large breeds, small breeds as well. I have training in ABA, and I know what it’s like to trust a stranger with your family. As an active duty sailor, I am on shore duty and have found myself with more free time than I could’ve ever imagined. Take those weekend trips you’ve been putting off, and know your doggo is in good hands with me Weekends (Friday-Sunday) are likely the best, but with advanced scheduling I can do during the week as well. If local to Virginia Beach or Norfolk, drop ins are not a problem at all. If you want your dog to stay home, house sitting is an option as well I live in a two bedroom apartment that’s pretty spacious and has vinyl flooring. I am only a few hundred feet from a dog park The community is very dog friendly, and your canine family will have no shortage of friends during their visit
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!!
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! 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 Convention Center in Virginia Beach and work nearby. I am available to provide experienced care for your kitties weekday mornings, and after work at night. I am available anytime Saturdays and on Sundays after 3p.m. I am available Memorial Day weekend, all day Saturday, all day Sunday and all day Memorial Day Monday, so book early. I am available for hours not listed on the calendar, because there are not many options. 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.
