Atta-Boy Pet Sitting Service

Welcome

As a lifelong Hampton Roads resident and long time pet owner, I will care for your pets while you work, travel or play. I offer personalized pet visits including walking, feeding, playing, overnight stays, medications as instructed and LOTS of love and attention. All of this allows your pet to remain in his or her comfortable and familiar environment. I offer special care and discounts for elderly or ill clients who are unable to walk their special pet family. For your peace of mind, I am LICENSED, BONDED and INSURED and a certified member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters.

Why hire a daily pet sitter/dogwalker while you are at work?

Some dogs cannot hold their urine as long as others. For example very young, aged or those with certain illnesses.
Dogs need to expend some energy during the long day you are away at work. It makes for a much calmer pet when you return.
Dogs are very social animals. Leaving them alone for long periods can actually cause them to become aggressive, depressed and weaken their immune system.
Perhaps you need to work late or run errands after work. Having a pet sitter provide a break during the day allows you that extra time.

Why use a pet sitter when you travel?

Reduced Stress. Your pet stays in its own familiar secure environment where all the sights, smells and sounds say “Home!”
Diet and Exercise. Customary diet and exercise routines are followed, with no interruption to upset your pet.
No “Travel Trauma.” Travel in a vehicle to boarding facility or kennel may upset your pet.
Health Concerns. With a pet sitter, there is minimal exposure to illness of other animals.
TLC. Most importantly, your pet receives love and personal attention while you are away.
Travel. You won’t be inconvenienced or upset by transporting your pet.
No Imposition. You don’t have to impose on a friend, neighbor or relative to care for your pet, but instead rely on a pet care professional who will put you pet’s needs first.
Security. Your home is made more secure by the crime deterrent services provided by most pet-sitting services.
Peace of Mind. While you’re away, you can feel confident your pet is in capable, caring hands.

Our 25 Point Checklist For Your Peace Of Mind

You have probably never given much thought to just how much time and effort you put into your pet’s good health and happiness. We have!

When you are gone, many things have to be done on a daily basis to make certain your pets are safe, secure, comfortable and happy. We go through a 25 point checklist every time we visit with your pets.

Sanitizing to reduce illness & disease
Releasing your security system
Bringing in the newspaper
Bringing in the mail
Giving each pet clean, fresh, water
Giving each pet the proper amount of food
Making sure each pet eats their food
Checking on the welfare of shy or reclusive pets
Restoring the supplies in the proper place
Giving treats (if they are allowed)
Cleaning up any “accidents” or messes that may occur
Watering plants
Having play time with each pet
Cleaning the litter box
Maintaining a comfort level in the home you set
Checking all internal and external doors and windows
Monitoring the condition of the home
Ensuring the house fence perimeter is secure
Changing the lighting arrangement
Making sure pets are in their proper place
Making notes for the owners
Administering medication if needed
Checking each pets condition
Re-locking the house

You do most of these things automatically when you are home. Isn’t it comforting to know that someone is going to go through a Checklist each day and do them for you while you’re away?
