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.

“Brandy is amazing! Valley always enjoys herself when she’s over there. Brandy updates constantly and sends photos to you with the updates. She was also very helpful with letting me pick my dog up later than I expected to be in town!”


“Danielle was great. Very accommodating, pleasant, and communicative, and followed instructions carefully. Our dog seems to have had a great time. We don't need a sitter very often, but would not hesitate to use Danielle again. Thank you!”


“Francesca was awesome! She was super flexible with our schedule and treated our doggy so well. Laila had so much fun hanging out with her, and if we’re ever back in town, we will definitely use her again!”


“Rosie always has fun at Kendyl’s house! Thanks again for your kind and gentle way with Rosie. It’s always a relief to know that Rosie is in good hands when we need a sitter!!”


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.

“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.”

Colin was the first person to ever watch Stella outside of the family. He was awesome - provided pictures, cared and loved Stella, she felt right at home. Colin was very respectful at drop off and pick up. Will definitely be booking with Colin again in the future.

This was the first time we have left our pup with someone she doesn't know, so you can imagine how nervous we were. When we saw how quickly our pup felt comfortable with Mirjana and her home, we knew she was in good hands because dogs are good judges of character. Mirjana sent us plenty of updates, pictures, and videos to put our minds at ease. Our pup loved her large fenced in yard! For anyone needing pet care, I highly recommend Mirjana. She will take amazing care of them. We definitely will be coming back!
