“Madelyn did an incredible job with our boys! She’s going to be our go-to from now on!”


“Morgan is wonderful! She came over for a meet-and-greet with our two older dogs a few days before she stayed at our house and they instantly loved her! She sent updates and photos and took great care of them and our home. I would definitely ask her to stay again.”



“Highly recommend Star! She's worked hard to make friends with our shy pup and kept us updated on the progress during this booking. We'll definitely use her again!”


“We hit the jackpot with Lindsey! She watched our 4 pets after a last minute booking and did a wonderful job of following our instructions/requests and keeping us informed every day. One of our dogs got sick and she quickly notified us. We came home to some happy animals!”


“I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!”


About: -10+ years of experience including an internship at a vet’s office. -Experience caring for a large variety of breeds and ages, dogs as well as cats! - Comfortable with puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with special needs. - Experience with handling emergency pet care situations in a calm and efficient manner. I love being around animals and spend a lot of time at my fiance’s horse ranch with 13 dogs and 12 cats! Your fur babies will be in good hands❣️ I also will take photos and send lots of updates I’m about to start a new semester of online college, so my schedule is very flexible. I have open availability to come for drop in visits and dog-walking throughout the week, and am also free to pet-sit overnights any days including weekends.

In case of emergency, I can provide basic first aid and I am comfortable transporting your animal to the vets office right away if need be.

“I'm almost afraid to leave an honest review. BECAUSE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOOK HIM AGAIN! And I don't want him to be too busy. He did a wonderful job with our dog and our house. Saxon got all the exercise he needed, then apparently slept the afternoon away. Our home looked exactly how we left it. Maybe even better. Finn came for a meet and greet with Saxon and asked great questions about what Saxon likes and does not do, or should no do. We were very pleased and would definitely book him again.”


“Amanda is the best! My dog, Samson, had really bad separation anxiety this trip. She made sure he stayed on his regular schedule and got lots of play time and love. He also got sick while I was away, and Amanda even took him to the vet for me. She always keeps me updated and sends lots of great pictures. Samson is looking forward to seeing her again!”


“Kat did an amazing job with our Opal. Lots of communication, and plenty of photos to let us know how our pup was doing. She took great care of our house as well.”


About: Hi! My name is Alyssa and I have plenty of experience when it comes to pets! At home in Richmond I have 3 dogs 4 cats , a chameleon and a fish! Looking forward to helping out and spending time with some of y'all's pets!! I currently take online classes through jmu so my availability is pretty open! Weekends work best as I work a few hrs throughout the week but am never gone for more than 3 hrs at a time! My apartment complex is safe and also has a dog park! I live with one other roommate so there is plenty of space and also not too many people around for more shy animals!

“Cameron was amazing with our 2 Great Danes and cat! She took them to the dog park and on lots of walks! Lots of pictures were shared and we came back to healthy, happy animals!”


“Kylie was great! She was on time and professional. She cared for our dog like she was her own. She asked all the right questions and sent us updates during the time we were gone!”


“Sean took great care of our anxious rescue. She can be a high-strung handful and they got along great! He's a very good communicator and respectful of time and property! Highly recommend.”


“Abigail is attentive, warm and friendly. She asked the right questions about Ripley, our 11 year old Shichon, and our home where she will home sit. Ripley is very cautious and over protective. But when she met Abigail for the first time, she immediately warmed up to her. We will rebook with Abigail again!”


“Logan has sat for us multiple times now, and we have absolutely no complaints! She is responsive, easy to work with, and gives us peace of mind when she's there with our pups.”


About: Hi, I’m Amber! I’m a lifelong animal lover based in Harrisonburg, VA, offering dependable care for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. Whether your pet is a high-energy pup or a calm senior cat, I adapt to their unique needs and routines to keep them happy and stress-free while you're away. I offer dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits—all in your home, where your pet feels safest. I work remotely and is I do need to travel for work it is always in the area and I know in advance, so I’m able to be present and flexible when caring for your pet. My approach is simple: I follow your pet’s usual schedule—walks, meals, meds, naps, even bedtime cuddles—so they feel secure and loved. Your pet is my priority when they’re in my care, and I treat every visit like I’m caring for my own. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your pet! I work from home with a flexible schedule and can usually adjust my day around your pet’s needs. I do travel occasionally, but I always know my plans in advance and won’t take on bookings I can’t fully commit to. Feel free to message me—I'm happy to confirm specific dates or times! I believe pets feel safest and happiest in their own familiar environment, so I provide care exclusively in your home. I’m respectful of your space and always aim to leave things just as I found them—or better. Whether I’m dropping in, walking your dog, or staying overnight, I stick closely to your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable and relaxed. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences, habits, and quirks, and I always prioritize their safety, well-being, and happiness. You can count on regular updates, photos, and honest communication while you’re away, so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.

“My dogs love Sam! Sam asked good questions and made sure he understood all the medication and special needs. He played with my youngest and cuddled with my older dogs. Sam arrived on time and kept me updated. My dogs were relaxed and happy when I got home and the house was spotless. My boys are looking forward to more visits with Sam!”


“Karen is wonderful. My very anxious dog liked her immediately - she took great care of her while we were traveling. So happy to have found her!”


About: I have cared for animals since I was a little girl! I have 6 years of experience at a veterinary clinic and 4 years of experience being a puppy raiser (trainer) for service animals. I have experience caring for a variety of animals and ages (including farm animals!), administering medications, and training. I am even a certified Animal Welfare Auditor for farm animals! I currently have a dog and a cat that are the joys of my life! I currently work a full time job, but have flexibility most days if there needs to be a mid-day potty break! I am fully available to meet visit frequency requirements on weekends. As a homeowner, I understand the nervousness when allowing someone to enter your home, and I promise to treat it as if it was my own!

About: We (Annalise Seal and Raina Davis) offer double the care for the price of one. One of us is more experienced with cats, and has four of her own, and the other has more experience with dogs, with one of her own.

We aren’t afraid to deal with any accidents that may occur, and aren’t afraid to get messy if needed! Overall, we’re responsible pet caregivers confident in taking care of both our animals, and others. We both have part time jobs, but have flexible schedules and are available to work overnight. We prioritize the care of your animals and are willing to make time for them when needed.

Morgan cared for my four dogs in my home. She is wonderful. I highly recommend her. She sent me pictures daily which in turn allowed me to enjoy being away from home and not worry about the dogs being ok. You will not regret having Morgan care for your dogs. She treats them as her own. We will definitely use her again!!
