Doggy Day Care in York Terrace

“Our Kona's Day Care is coming along quite nicely with Maggie and her family. He is getting to know her children and small dog. We look forward to leaving Kona with Maggie for a few nights later this month. We think it is a good fit and that he will be happy which is very important to us. Thank you Maggie for taking good care of our boy. Mike and Kay Chase”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Lyra and Scott provided for our dog, Olive. Every year, our family—about 30 of us—goes on a vacation together, and this year we weren’t sure we’d be able to go because we didn’t have a sitter for Olive. Fortunately, we found Lyra and Scott on Rover, and everything worked out perfectly. They live nearby and were incredibly flexible with our changing day-to-day schedule, which was essential since we were coordinating everything from our vacation. Olive isn’t comfortable being alone, and we were a bit unsure how she’d do around children. Lyra and Scott reassured us—and they were absolutely right. Olive did great, and they even sent us regular updates and photos of her spending time with their kids, which gave us so much peace of mind. Thanks to Lyra and Scott, we were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Olive was in such great hands. We will definitely use them again In The future”

“Stephanie help us out super last-minute at our stay in Williamsburg. She quickly responded and was very accommodating. River was happy to spend the day with her and the other dogs. He was able to go on a walk and relax in a comfortable home. We were updated throughout the day with pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving River in Stephanie's care and we're very appreciative of her last-minute ability to watch him. We would use her again and highly recommend. Thanks Stephanie!”

About: I was new to the pet ownership when I got my boys in 2019. I conducted thorough research since I was in need of an emotional support animal. In my quest, I found the perfect fur baby for me, the Biewer terrier. I started with one, however since my Denni suffered with anxiety and separation issues I felt it prudent to get him a companion. Two months later we welcomed Davis into the family and have never been happier. I relocated to Virginia at the start of the pandemic in 2020. One year later I suffered a health crisis which made it difficult for me to fully care for my boys. It took another two years before I made the difficult decision to rehouse them. Fortunately, I was able to turn them over to the loving care of my dentist. Since she brings them to work with her, I can still stop by to say hello and spend some time with them. Over time, my health improved, I was introduced to dog care and the rest is, as they say, history. I have found my passion. With a heart full of love for fur babies of all shapes, sizes and temperments, I'd be honored to care for your beloved fur babies in my home or yours. My time is my own. I am retired and home all day. I am flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to fit yours. I even offer pick-up/drop-off services when needed to lessen the burden on you. Let's work together to make things easiest for you. I live in a townhouse with stairs on the inside of the apartment. This allows the dogs to get plenty of exercise, as needed. I also have a balcony so your pets can be outdoors all day, if they so desire. I took care of a Greyhound who was very sweet but quiet. He would sit out on the balcony all day and never barked once. I can also take puppies in need of training. I trained my boys myself with the help of Cesar Millan and Brian McMillan (lol). I am also considering getting formal training. In the meantime, I seek knowledge from books and subscribe to several YouTube channels specifically geared towards dog training. I have potty pads, toys and treats in my home, as well as other items I use for training purposes. Recently, I did drop-in visits for two medium-sized dogs. One, a senior dog, the other a 5 month old Border Collie full of energy. I let them out in the backyard for 30 minutes. I made sure they had fresh water and then crated the Collie until the owner returned home.

“Very professional and caring.”

“Shawna was amazing with our two very large golden retrievers! Definitely the most responsive and engaged rover we have ever had, we got tons of pics and videos and she was flexible with our changing schedules. Will definitely be using her services again! 😊”

“Look no further for pet care! We found Christene after having a horrible experience at a different doggy daycare business. We are so glad we did! Our 4 year old chocolate lab loved spending the day at Christene’s and came home happy/perfectly tired. We will be using her again!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Jarin dog-sitting our dog, Lea, while we toured Williamsburg while on vacation. Jarin was communicative and positive. When we experienced car trouble on our road trip, she remained available and accommodating, which was a huge relief. Not only that but she fed Lea dinner and took her on multiple walks. We loved receiving all the photos and videos. Highly recommend Jarin for dog-sitting!”

“We had a great experience with Qasheedra. From the moment we met, she and her family were warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to understand my dogs’ needs and routine, which really put me at ease. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for — I couldn’t ask for more. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have grown up with animals. Dogs and cats are at the top of the list. I've been around domesticated animals all of my life. My first kittens at my young age was two siames kittens Who had 2 litters of kittens as well as having to toy poodle dogs, that had two litters of puppies twice. I must have been about 10 so it was from then that I have been loving & caring for fur babies.. Though I do not Own a dog or a cat right now, but look forward to owning some in my future.. I currently own a guinea pig. I just recently experienced the end of a pug/fur baby end of life. I took care of the pug for his last six months of life. Soon after that I boarded a beautiful pitbull for the weekend of mother's day. So to book with me, i'm sure I will have you covered.. Because I am home during the day I am a great fit for you fur baby. I love on your Fur baby while you are on occasion or just I'll have an a fun day. Because I am located across from freedom park in James City County, Williamsburg. I feel i'm in a great place to be able to get them out to go for walks and just run and play.

“Faafetai did a fantastic job caring for our dog. We can tell from the pictures that Hippo had a great run around the yard and was loved by the resident kids. We look forward to using Faafetai again!”

“Luisa was GREAT! Nikki can be a little shy but she went straight to Luisa. I could tell Nikki was comfortable around her. :) Luisa was responsive, flexibile and very friendly! If I’m ever in the area I would definitely use her again! I loved the pictures she sent while Nikki was with her.”

“Rocky and Willow stayed so we could go to Busch Gardens. Mary and Glen sent us photos and updates through the day. Thank goodness for them and for Rover so we could enjoy vacation and our pets had a safe place to play! We would def bring our fur babies here again!”

About: I’ve taken care of the dogs in my neighborhood since I was 11. I’ve dogsat for neighbors and walked dogs before. Most of my family has dogs so when they go out of town I watch their pets. I train for soccer every morning, so dog walking is a great way for me to stay active and keep my legs stretched and warm. I have a super flexible schedule outside of my morning training! I will mainly be walking dogs and will make sure they are hydrated, are able to do their business, and enjoy their time out in the sun and nature! If I am dog sitting in your home I will make sure the dog feels comfortable in his home and that everything is in order when I arrive and leave!

About: "Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend...never owned a dog" I live in a townhouse in Williamsburg with husband, our 1 year old daughter and our puppy, Korben. Dog sitting is a full family experience in our home, both our daughter and puppy love it when we have house guests. In fact our daughter’s first word was “doggie”, so it’s very important that dogs that come into our home do well with children as much as they do well with other dogs. While we don’t have a fenced in yard we make up for it with a walking path in the neighborhood and many other walking trails close by, we generally go on two walks a day, weather permitting. I've been sitting for my friends and family for as long as I can remember. So if your looking for a place where your dog will be well cared for and have a lot of fun in the process, look no further. Please don't hesitate to e-mail me with further questions, I want you to feel comfortable when you leave your dog with me while you are out of town. I work mostly from home so your pup will have the hands on attention they deserve! We offer ample love and attention through walks and belly rubs. There are occasions I will need to leave the house for work, but I’m usually not gone more than an hour or so. In those instances we’ll recreate what you do with your pup when leave your home. I really try to mimic your routine at home as best as possible. I know that coming to a new home can be stressful for the pup so I try to ease that transition by sticking to your routine as best I can.

“Grace R. - what a delightful person and wonderful experience! We were visiting the Williamsburg area with our tempermental terrier, Max on what has to have been the hotest days to date this early summer. We are so very grateful that Grace was able to take Max every day, keep him cool, hydrated and safe while we visited the many wonderful places to see in that area. Truly a life saver to have such confidence in the care our Max received. Thank you so very much, Grace!”
