“Great dog sitter! They were incredibly kind and instantly put our minds at ease. Regular updates and photos kept us connected to our furry friends throughout our trip. Our dogs returned happy and well-cared for.”
“Gouda loved his time with Kendyl! She was responsive and great with sending us updates while he was there. Will absolutely be using Kendyl in the future for dog boarding!”
“Beth did a great job taking care of Remy while I was on vacation. She devotes her time (it seems) exclusively to the dog she's sitting for. I felt confident leaving Remy with her while gone.”
“I felt like I could trust her to watch my dog, while we went out of town and I didn't have to worry about how he was going to be. She sent picture updates throughout the weekend, She's a quick communicator, and was patient when we had some delays for picking him up!”
“Amanda was able to accommodate me on short notice and took great care of my dog. She kept me updated the whole time and was even flexible when my pickup time had to change. She'll be my first go-to the next time I need a sitter in Charlottesville.”
“Thank you for providing such kindness and attentiveness to my Ellie girl! I can tell she felt very comfortable being with your family, and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in such good hands. Would definitely board with you again the future!”
“Danielle was amazing with our cat, Kinako! This was her first time being away from home, but it was very obvious from the pictures and updates that she was in great hands. It was also her first time being around so many other pets, but they were very sweet with her and she seemed surprisingly at ease :) We're excited to book with Danielle again whenever we're out of town!”
“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old puppy since I got him. He is a pretty anxious dog, which made me an anxious mother. Clayton and Brittany were great; they were unfazed by his quirks, and allowed him space to adjust. Apparently he adjusted just fine; climbing into laps. They have a large fenced yard and two lively dogs; such a fun, busy weekend for my pup! I highly recommend them…”
“Everything went super smoothly. I had a couple of schedule changes, and Brandy was SUPER flexible and understanding about the changes. I got updates and some beautiful pictures as well. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I have previously worked as a vet assistant in a veterinarian's office and as the rescue/foster/adoption coordinator at an animal shelter. I have over 25 years of personal experience and 5 years of professional experience taking care of pets of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I can administer medications orally, topically, give injections, and IV fluids with confidence. I'll take care of your pet as as if they were one of my own! For drop-in visits in your home, I am flexible throughout the week and have availability on weekdays and weekends. I am happy to come by anytime between 7 am and 10 pm. For doggy day care or boarding in my home, my office is 5 mins away from home. My partner works from home during the week and is glad to tag in to help with pet care as needed. I have my own vehicle and can easily travel to care for your pet in the Harrisonburg or Rockingham County area. I am happy to care for your pet in your home according to any instructions or requests that you share. I am also happy to water plants or bring in mail if you wish. After a successful meet and greet, I would be happy to host your pet in my home. There's a fully fenced yard and ample grass to romp in and take care of business. I live in a quiet neighborhood and am game to take your dog on a walk with mine. Pets are welcome on the furniture and there's even space to snuggle up in the bed if they're used to bunking up together at night. Our 7 year old female Yorkie is very dog-friendly and enjoys having company. She's a good playmate if your dog is up for a little tug on a toy or chase in the yard. She's also good at reading signs from dogs when they're done playing or want to be left alone. We would love to welcome you to our home for a meet and greet prior to booking to make sure everyone gets along.

“Tasha was wonderful with our senior Basset Hound. Pearl (our dog) is a drama queen and an attention seeker and that's certainly what she got with Tasha. We couldn't be happier with Natasha's care for our precious Pearl. We will definitely be repeating services with her again. She's awesome.❤?”
“Fala had a blast with Madeline! She looked so happy in all of the pictures that were sent and when we got home she zonked out— meaning she had some good walks and play time! Fala also cried when we got in the car and missed Madeline. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
