She was so amazing. Azula loved her so much. She updated me with how she was doing and made the 1st time away for my puppy so easy.

Rebecca was my first sitter through wag! I am overly pleased with her care. She was quick to respond, helped me feel comfortable being so far away, and sent multiple pictures. Yetti came home happy and healthy and I couldn t be more pleased.

I know my pup is always in great hands with Christina. We will definitely return and highly recommend her! You know the care is great when your dog gets excited upon pulling up to her driveway.

I had a wonderful experience with Rebecca while I left my dog Sasha with her for a few days. Sasha is very energetic, and it was clear from the photos Rebecca sent that she kept her happy and well entertained. It gave me so much peace of mind to see how much fun Sasha was having. I really appreciated how responsive she was whenever I checked in. it made being away from Sasha a lot easier. When I picked her up, it was obvious Sasha had been well cared for.

Jasmine and her family were so awesome with my dog! I almost forgot he was there! I m usually extremely anxious about leaving the love of my life without anyone, but it was easy to see how loved and happy he was there! I cannot wait to use Jasmine again, by far the best experience. She even agreed to extends day when my move-in date was changed. Again, could not be happier.

The best dog events in Norfolk

Dogs Gone Swimming
Friends of Norfolk Animal Care Center puts on this family-friendly event just after Labor Day each year at the Norfolk Fitness and Wellness Gym to raise funds. Admission costs start at $20 per dog and increase based on how many swims your pooches want to take. There is live music to be heard, dog swimsuit contests to be seen, and refreshments to be enjoyed. Cool down and finish the summer off right!36
First Fridays on Granby
Granby Street is one of the cornerstones of Norfolk living. It is the epicenter for trendy restaurants, concert venues, and shopping. On the first Friday of each month, starting in the Spring and going straight on into October, a dog-friendly street festival with a beer garden pops up on Granby. First Fridays are situated near Tidewater Community College and host a slew of vendors, food trucks, and live bands. Let your pup tag along next time you realize it's the first Friday of the month!24
Dogtoberfest
A local favorite, O'Connor's Brewing Company plays host to Dogtoberfest every October to benefit Norfolk Animal Care Center. Dogs are welcome and highly encouraged to dress up for the occasion! With door prizes, contests, live music, and different food trucks scattered throughout the day, you had better start looking for matching beer maid costumes.12
Ocean View Beach
Seasonally open to pets, Ocean View Beach is settled just on the shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay. Whether you want to go kayaking, jogging, or lay out on the beach, Ocean View is the perfect spot for relaxing or adventuring. There are three different beach park spaces, all with public facilities, so you and your pupper are bound to have a good time!
