Doggy Day Care in Grottoes

“They were great! Lots of land and friends for summer to place with, she sent pictures showing how much fun summer was having and made sure we weren’t rushing either. Great option if you’re visiting luray, they are north of Harrisonburg so the drive down and back to luray were short. Highly recommended”

“Jani & Paul were able to graciously accommodate my puppy for daycare on very short notice. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and will most definitely be booking again. The best!!!”

“Another great week with Dana! Oakley loves playing with Red and her nephew. Oakley is also being socialized with cats which is a huge plus. Oakley is always happy to be dropped off and tired from all the fun when I pick him up.”

“Hillary did a fantastic job watching our dog for the day. She is great at communicating and flexible. With our drop off and pickup times. We would definitely use her again. We really appreciate her letting us know details about his day.”

“If you need someone to watch your dog for the day……. BOOK WITH NICOLE! She is amazing! We came for a vacay, and our dog was struggling staying in the hotel room while we went out for the day. So we booked with her the night before, being way last minute and she was so understanding! She is so nice, and transparent. Super communicative too. If we come back for a visit in the area we will be using her again.”

“Great dog vacay! They have another dog so my pup was nice and worn out when we picked him up for our 12 hour drive home! I would recommend him to anyone else looking for a dog sitter in Harrisonburg,VA”

“We truly appreciate Brandy! We booked very last minute with brandy. Being on vacation we brought our epileptic pup and he wasn’t coping well in a new place being alone. So we downloaded this app for the first time and booked with her while we went out. She responded when I checked on him, and sent me pictures of him while he was with her. We are even booked an extra day with her while we were here because he did so well in her care! Thank you Brandy !!”

“Joanna and her husband did a fantastic job of making Nikita feel comfortable and welcome! Kita takes a while to warm up to new people and places and has abandonment issues and anxiety when I'm gone, but after her first visit she was excited to get back to Joanna and her pup Azul! I also felt so much more comfortable about leaving Kita with Joanna because she was amazing about updating me and sending pictures of Kita! Altogether, Kita and I had a wonderful experience! Thanks, Joanna!! :))”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, from raising litters of puppies to nursing sick kittens back to health. I’ve trained working ranch dogs, cared for senior pets, and managed special diets. I work from home, so your pet gets my full attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or cuddles, their needs come first, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I provide loving, attentive pet care in my home or yours, following routines, ensuring proper nutrition, exercise, and comfort. Whether it's walks, playtime, or special needs, I treat them like family.

“This is our first time using an on line sitting service and Cory made it so easy, helping us feel very comfortable leaving our 6mo. old Berniedoodle for the first time. Cory obviously loves animals and we look forward to scheduling with him again.”

“Amanda and her boyfriend Chris were awesome! Although Bénie was there just for a few hours while I was having a medical test done, I received a video of Bénie having a blast with other doodles at the dog park not long after I got o the doctor’s office. Bénie came back happy & tired. Best qualities in a dog. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have taken care of relatives and friends dogs for years. I’ve helped my parents raise their dog from little to her seniorhood. I am home all throughout the day on weekdays and weekends!! I love animals and would be happy to work around someone’s busy schedule. I can travel to meet you at your need! I’ll work with your preferences and special needs. I can come walk your dog and stop by to make sure they are doing okay if need be. Every dog type, size, and age I can care for and have no problem being around and playing with. I would love to help you out and watch after your loved pets! I am able to care for dogs every day from morning to night as I am home during that time. I am able to fully provide all my attention to your pet. I live in a very safe and walkable neighborhood with a wonderful walking path. I also live a street away from a clean and safe dog park, that at your discretion would be happy to take your dog to.

“Belle felt right at home with Camille. Camille’s home was cheerful and welcoming. Certainly plan to have Belle visit again - nice to be at ease when leaving your pup knowing they are in such a welcoming atmosphere with Camille.”

About: Have you ever wished you had someone who could take care of your pets like you do? Here I am!! My dogs are my babies! I have 2 Male Labradors named Tank(2) and Nash(5months)! I have always struggled with finding someone I TRUST watching my pets, I want them to be treated how I treat them! With treats, toys and walks! I will be offering walks, potty breaks, treats (unless you have a pet with food restrictions please bring your own) if they are water babies I will take them swimming! Required: Please also provide documentation of vaccinations, and flea/tick/heart worm Required: Please make sure your dogs are friendly with other dogs before booking! I work from home Monday-Friday and weekends I am available. Please just make sure your pets are friendly. My dogs are not neutered. Thank you! My pets are supervised at ALL times since I work from home. We do have a fenced in area where the dogs can play outside. We do reside in a 5th wheel that is very spacious! Dogs are allowed on the couch or dog bed. If you bring your own dog bed please make sure it is clean! If I am watching at someone’s home, I will make sure messes are cleaned along with treats given if told so. Along with walks, we like to take our dogs to Coyners dog park and let them play. If your dog is not friendly this is not the fit for you.

“Stacey was phenomenal! She took very good care of Lexi and truly welcomed our dog into her home! She communicated really well with us on schedule and how Lexi was doing while in her care. Our dog seemed extremely relaxed in her care. We would definitely recommend Stacey to anyone who needs dog sitting services.”

About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of animal behavior across all ages and species. With hands-on experience caring for everything from playful puppies to gentle senior pets — as well as exotic companions like parrots — I adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to keep pets on their regular routine and give them consistent attention. I’m comfortable with crate training, potty training, administering medication, and supporting senior dogs or animals with special needs. Every pet in my care is treated like family — safe, understood, and genuinely loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I’m able to build my schedule around the pets in my care — whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet companionship. My own pets have taught me the importance of consistency and attention, so I’m always mindful of keeping each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home here. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have an underground fence system with extra collars for dogs who are trained to use it. Otherwise, all outside time is fully supervised, whether on a leash or in the yard. Inside, my home is pet-friendly, calm, and set up to give animals their own space if they need it. I keep things clean, low-stress, and consistent with whatever routine they’re used to. I’m always nearby since I work from home, so your pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages all of my life! I also love cats and have grown up caring for them. I am currently a student and while my classes are during the day, they only last about 4 hours so I can be home with your pups most of the day! The pets will always be loved, cared for, and taken outside regularly. Making sure the pets are safe and cared for is my top priority.
