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.

“Francesca did a great job! She sent a bunch of pictures and kept us updated for my dog's entire stay with her which I really appreciate. My dog also seemed to really like her! I will likely ask her to watch my pup again if needed!”

“Cynthia is definitely the best dog sitter I have met! Her and her family are incredibly sweet. My previous sitter canceled last minute and she responded and agreed to care for my Bailey at the last minute. I’m so grateful! Not only is she prompt with response, but she sent frequent updates and pictures. She has a big back yard and took Bailey on a fun excursion! Definitely worth the drive outside of Charlottesville! Will highly recommend!”

Communication with Hazzar was easy and quick. She promptly replied to our messages and sent pictures of our dog throughout the week. I would recommend Hazzar to anyone looking for a caring a loving pet sitter.”

Davi S.

“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…”

Phyllis A.

“Scott and Sarah are excellent hosts. Our dogs, Rosie and Roger, loved staying with them, so much so, they didn't seems to want to come home. Scott and Sarah have the perfect accommodations for hosting pets, nice outdoor space and their home is very welcoming to pets. Scott and Sarah were very accommodating when we had to change drop off time and pick up time at the last minute. Rosie and Roger will be back soon for another stay.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love and personal experience with animals, including dogs and cats from my family and close connections. I treat every pet like my own, paying close attention to their unique needs to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, responsible, and patient—qualities that help pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a calm older cat, I adapt my approach to make sure each pet has a positive and loving experience I have a flexible schedule thanks to my remote startup business, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet sitting. This flexibility means I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or extended boarding. You can count on me to be available and attentive to your pet’s routine and needs. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and happy. I provide plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and medication schedules to maintain consistency. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I treat their space with respect and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure pets stick to their usual routines and keep their environment clean and secure. Whether in my home or theirs, my goal is always to ensure pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable.
