Pawsitively tailored services For Pets
(and the People Who Love Them)
Trustworthy care and VIP treatment for pets across Virginia Beach – from walks to home-style boarding and everything in between – designed around your pet’s own unique routine, comfort, and personality.
Pet Care That Feels Like Home
(Because it is!)
We know the feeling all too well…packing for a trip while worrying whether your sitter will remember the meds, the schedule, or your pet’s specific routine. You want peace of mind. You want to come home to a happy pet, not stress or guilt.
That’s where we come in. Bells & Spikes is built on trust, reliability, and a deep love for animals of all kinds. We handle the details so you can focus on what matters - living your life (without the pet parent panic).
Our Services
Daily Visits & Drop-Ins
Whether you’re at work, away for the weekend, or just need an extra hand, our drop-ins keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching. From walks to feedings (and the occasional pep talk), we handle the details so you can breathe easy.
Homestyle Boarding
No kennels here - unless you ask for one! Our home-style boarding in Great Neck, Virginia Beach gives pups the cozy staycation they deserve. Couches, cuddles, and care that’s completely tailored to your dog’s routine.
Overnight in client’s Homes
When your pet feels safest in their own space, we bring the love to you! Overnight care means full-time comfort, structure, and snuggles (plus your plants watered and mail brought in, because we’re thoughtful like that).
Cat Boarding
Because cats deserve vacations too.
Our feline guests enjoy private, cozy rooms, personalized care, and plenty of affection (or space…we get it!).
Dog Daycare
Playtime, naps, and new best friends - all in a safe, home-style environment. Your pup’s favorite day ever, every time!

“We boarded our lab mix with Shirley and her family for a week and it was the best experience. Remi had a ball and our family was able to enjoy a vacation without the stress of whether or not our girl was being cared for. Thank you so much, Bells and Spikes!!”

Dinky
“We are new to the area and finding Bells & Spikes has been such a HUGE weight off my shoulders. I have 3 fur babies. And Shirley makes each of them feel so loved and cared for while I’m away for work.
She’s attentive and thoughtful following our routines and rules set for the pets. And she even brought them goodies to make them feel more at home while we wait for all of their things to arrive with the movers…”- Gianna, Dinky’s Mommy
