Doggy Day Care in Whiteston

“Eric helped us out on short notice and was very responsive throughout the stay. Our dog, Mylo, was well taken care of and all tuckered out when we picked him up🙂 We will definitely reach out again when we are back in the area!”

“Rachel was great! My little girl can be nervous with new people but Rachel made her feel right at home. Layla had a great time playing with the other dogs and came home happy and tired. Rachel was awesome about updating me throughout the day with videos and pictures of Layla’s adventures. We will definitely use Rachel’s service again!”

About: Our family loves dogs! Currently, we have a Bloodhound and two smaller beagle mixes. My children have grown up around dogs their entire lives and we all truly enjoy snuggling, loving, and exercising with our canine friends. Enjoy a worry free vacation, and give your dog a vacation too! I’m a public educator, so I’m at home afternoons and evenings, on weekends, holidays, and all summer. I have a 26 year old college student who is home when I am not. During the week, we can provide care with a combination of adults and kids coming in and out at various times of the day, and there is almost always 100% supervision available. We have a fenced yard, four energetic canine playmates, two energetic human female (11 & 14) playmates, and a whole lot of extra time and love for our potential guests! We do have crates if preferred at night, but our dogs sleep where they choose. Your dog will get plenty of exercise and plenty of snuggles. We have a large fenced in back yard. Out doggy visitors usually sleep on the carpeted floor in the room of the hooman of their choosing. We find our guests usually bond with and adopt a specific person for their stay. It is always fun finding out who it will be for each one. An adult is present in our home at all times. I work in public education, and I am home afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We have a college student in residence. My two girls are homeschooled, and are also present and thrilled to spend time with our guests. We have a large fenced in yard and plenty of living space. Our dogs have the run of the home and are allowed on the furniture.

“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.”

“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!”

“My husband and I recently moved to the Elizabeth City area and we don't know anyone here. Last minute my husband was able to attend an event with me a few hours away. I quickly scrambled to find someone to sit our furbabies. I messaged Christianna and she quickly got back to me saying she could watch them. Since I'm a very nervous dog mom and we've had bad experiences hiring a dog sitter online (we used a different website at that time), she agreed to come meet us the night before and the dogs. We dropped the dogs off Saturday morning and she was instantly great with them. They walked right into her house with no fear. Throughout the day she sent updates and photos (that definitely put my mind at ease and I was able to focus on the event I was attending). She was great with them all day and they came home super tired and ready for bed! :) We will definitely book with Christianna again.”

About: I have been a babysitter for over 20 years. Most of the families I worked with had pets, dogs or cats. I have had cats of my own over the years but now I help my mom take care of her 2 dogs. I recently moved to Newport News so I have a completely open schedule. I am already cooking fresh food for my mom's dogs and walking them regularly. Come join us. I prepare meals for my mom's dogs weekly. I research foods they can and cannot have to make sure they are happy and healthy. I also walk them 3 times a day minimum. There is a dog park on the premises but they mostly just sniff around :).

“I’m so thankful that I found Rebecca on Rover to watch my yorkie. I traveled to the area with my pup, and quickly came to realize he was not handling being in the hotel room alone. Thankfully, Rebecca agreed to dog sit my for the day on super short notice. She sent photos of my dog throughout the day which made me feel assured that he was having a great time and was well taken care of!”

About: My animals are my fur babies I love them with all my heart and would love yours just as much I know how hard it is to leave your pets we take ours with us everywhere but sometimes things happen where our fur children can’t come I would like to provide a safe loving environment for those times. Will send daily updates about how your pet is coping with out there human. We currently have two small dogs a cat and fish in our home can’t wait to meet your fur babies there is nothing like the company of a dog my dogs have been my rocks through everything they are always there to make me smile. They may be a little spoiled would love to spoil your babies to.

About: As a stay at home and home school mom there is usually always someone home to love and play with our (your) animals. We have two daughters (17 & 15) and one son (10). *I’ve recently updated this profile to include the following: As an owner to two small dogs myself, I understand the worry and anxiety of leaving my small, fragile, pup, in the care of others who may have larger dogs coming and going where an accident can happen. I don’t like to take chances with one of my own, or one of yours getting hurt. Even by accident. I’ve recently updated my profile to only accept dogs up to a certain pound. This will help with my profile score, for the many dogs I’ve had to turn down. However, if you are a prior client, I will accept your larger dog (they’ve all been wonderful and fine because of my judgement at meet and greet) and in addition any future clients who have a small dog/big dog combo, I will consider a meet and greet to verify we would be a good fit and will make exceptions on a case by case. I will not be sitting for more than one family at a time. I’d like to advertise our service as a small dog oasis. We have tons of toys, treats, dogs beds, and love to offer to spoil and keep your little ones happy and safe. I know the peace and ease of mind I offer will stand out. I send pictures, and/or videos, daily, unless you ask me not to. I will also FaceTime you with your pet, upon request. * We have a 5 year old, 10lb Maltipoo, who acts more like an indoor cat, (sleeps a lot) and follows me everywhere, a 9 month old, 7lb, Malshi (Maltese Shitzu), who is a baby and wants to play with her toys all the time. We also have a 4 year old yellow lab, Sam, who acts like a lab. Aren’t they all full of energy? Sam likes to stay outside and loves his job as a guardian dog to our miniature goats. He comes in for freezing temperatures, over night to sleep, or heat advisories only. He’d rather be outside. All three get along with ALL animals, strays, neighbor’s yorkies’, neighbors dogs, etc. We have two acres of yard with a fenced in area that has a dog house, goat house, tree house, etc. which is where he stays. We are an animal loving family. No young kids that harm or hurt in any way. Your pets are guaranteed a “spoiled rotten” experience for sure. Schedule We are home most of the time. We let the pups run around and play inside. We prefer inside dogs over outside dogs, but will take the dogs outside many, many times to walk, run, and play. Just I inform us of their home habits of how often they like to go out. Safety, trust & environment- I am highly protective over the dogs well being. Safety and emotionally. We use leashes when walking/running your dog and to let them out to use the bathroom. Dogs are fed at separate locations to ensure no jealousy and fights. Not to mention stolen food and a hungry pup. The dogs we sit for sleep in the master bedroom. We sleep with the door shut. This is to ensure we can always have eyes and ears on your pup. No accidents or trouble to get into. They seem to like having the constant company around them, even if we are asleep, they know they’re not alone.

About: I am a true animal lover. I have a level of empathy for pets that most people think is crazy. Your pet is part of your family and will be part of mine as well. I have a lot of love to give. I am more then happy to accept a million phone calls and texts because I know top care is important. I am patient and understanding and take the time to help with house breaking and learn new tricks. I use to breed Siberian huskies. That is one of the most energetic and mischevious breeds out there. I help with a local rescue in rehoming and donations. I am also actively involved with helping take strays to local vets and following up with owners. My family consists of me, my husband and our five children. We always someone to give love and attention. We keep our own pets somewhat on a schedule and we play a lot in our back yard I have a large fenced in yard and a very loved dog who enjoys to play. I also have 4 indoor cats. I can easily crate if needed.
