Puppy care in Yorktown, Poquoson, Newport News and Hampton, VA

Starting at $35 per visit

Puppyhood can feel overwhelming. We’re here to help.

Our puppy care visits support you and your family during your puppy’s most developmentally rich, and often challenging, early months. With our help, you can establish a consistent routine and reinforce positive habits while you’re at work or traveling.

Our visits include intentionally timed potty breaks to support potty training success. During each visit, we engage with your puppy, encourage safe social experiences, and reinforce leash manners and other desired behaviors using reward based methods. Through playtime, engagement, and physical and sensory enrichment, your puppy can burn off energy while enjoying plenty of love and attention.

Our puppy care visits support healthy puppy development through consistent routines, potty training reinforcement, exercise, and enrichment while you’re away.
