Dog Sitters in Newport News, VA

The BEST! Sharon took care of our old tripod, Penny, and the young energetic dog, Paco, like royalty. The old tripod needs extra TLC and has some incontinence issues so it wasn't all that easy. She came over to walk through the house and meet the pups the day before we left for 2.5 weeks and sent regular updates and pictures while we were away. We came home to a spotless house and happy dogs. Thank you Sharon!!!

Tracy arrived promptly and provided good care for my dog. She was attentive to him and he seemed in good shape when I got home.

Tina, Peter and the kids were excellent sitters. They asked questions when they had them, sent pictures to us, took excellent care of the animals, and cleaned the house thoroughly before they left. We couldn’t have asked for more. I would highly recommend Tina and Peter for your pet sit.

Kristy and her spouse were wonderful caretakers for our cats and left the house very clean. They were communicate, handled a neighborhood power outage without stress, and sent adorable pictures of the cats looking very happy. We'd be very happy to have them care for our cats and home again.

Mary Lou & Donald were excellent sitters. We felt very comfortable leaving our sweet Gypsy & Jett in their hands. The dogs were well cared for with long walks and many belly rubs! Communication was quick and easy with updates & pictures. Both Mary Lou & Donald are very organized and followed the dog's daily schedule. The house was clean and tidy upon our arrival which I really appreciate. We highly recommend Mary Lou & Donald as your next sitters.

Suveyda & Alperen sat for our cat, Luca, for a few days over thanksgiving. We were so grateful to have sitters while we were away for the holiday! Luca was happy and healthy when we got home and the house was very clean. Thank you Suveyda & Alperen!

Jon and Freda are the most kind and caring people we have ever met. Our dogs Sandi and Lucy were treated more special than anyone could imagine. They became a part of their family with lots of attention and tender loving care. Both dogs were spoiled and enjoyed ventures to Tractor Supply, Petsmart and Home Depot and even rides around the local lakes. Lucy received a special new cuddly bed on one trip. Our pups were more than well cared for as was obvious by Jon and Freda’s attention to detail making them feel well loved. They very quickly learned their personalities and were great about communicating with questions or concerns to ensure that the best possible care was given. We received pictures, special moments and regular updates on our fur kids. We came home to a well-maintained house inside and out. We were and are so appreciative to have such a great couple (Jon and Freda) to stay in our house and to take care of our dogs, Sandi and Lucy. We came back to two very calm, relaxed and happy dogs. I know that they missed them when they left since they looked around to find them after they had left. There were also some beautiful flowers left for us when we returned home; so very thoughtful! It is very comforting to know that when you go away that you have such fantastic people watching your house and dogs. We would love to have them come sit at our house sometime in the future. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a perfect house/dog sitter……on a scale of 1 to 10….10 is not a high enough rating. A great big thanks to Jon and Freda for helping us with some flexibility as we were able to be there for our son's college graduation and do all of the necessary things to move him out of his apartment as well as visit some family and friends.

Robin was the perfect sitter for Oscar. He immediately fell in love with her and when I returned home, was looking for Robin around the house! I was able to focus on my trip (for work) and did not spend one minute worrying if Oscar was okay. He was very well loved and taken care of. Thanks, Robin!

Jeff and Morgan were terrific - adaptable, responsible, and great to work with. They stayed in touch and took care of my fish and plants, including harvesting and freezing from my garden, which was a huge help! I would def have them back!

Shannon was awesome! She's a great communicator and kept in touch during the sit. My house was spotless when I returned! I'd recommend Shannon without reservation.

Jacob did an excellent job taking care of Kona and Mary, our dog and cat, as well as our house. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving our pets with strangers but once we spoke with and met Jacob, we left feeling secure. Jacob came early to meet us, our pets and to see the house. He seemed very interested in learning everything and seemed to take the task seriously. Normally, our pets are not on meds, but our dog had had issues with diarrhea earlier in the week so Jacob had to do a couple of extra tasks, which he didn't bat an eye at. While away, we didn't worry about our pets. We did reach out once and Jacob replied right away letting us know that things were going very well. We felt he was responsible and had our interests in mind. Upon our return, the house looked just as we had left it and the pets seemed absolutely fine. We were very pleased and hope to use Jacob again.

Where do I even begin with Dawn and Scott? They answered my SOS during a snowstorm when our other zeewoi sitter came down with Covid and had to quarantine at home. Mello struck gold with these two --- from the moment they arrived (in the snow and ice), you could feel their love for animals. They asked all the "right" questions about our house and our dog. They are active and healthy and Mello loved all the walks & jogs that they took. And the photos that Dawn sent were almost professional in nature --- you could just see how happy Mello was with these two. We highly recommend Dawn and Scott and cannot wait to have them sit again (maybe next time we can all have a drink together!).
