“Beth was great with our pup, Cinder! Cinder came home relaxed and stress free which speaks volumes to how she was treated while with Beth. Thank you Beth!”


“Another Rover success in the books! Joanna was amazing with our boy. I always try to find someone that is home a lot and has animals at home, she totally checked all the boxes I needed. She sent updates and pics of Vader and her pups/kitty playing. I was a bit nervous about her cat, considering Vader had not been around cats in a while, but everyone meshed well together. Her location was easy to find, drop off was quick and painless, as was pickup. We will definitely bring Vader back the next time we go out of town! I highly recommend Joanna if you are looking for a team to love your fur baby while you are away. Thank you Joanna and fam and we will see you next time!”


“Anatoliy took great care of my dog while I was out of town, and was willing to do so on very short know notice. I appreciated her flexibility. She a great fenced in yard with plenty of space for energetic dogs to burn their energy. Would recommend to anyone.”

“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!”


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.

“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.”


“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!”


“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!”


“You cannot ask for a better puppy sitter than Kendyl! She was very communicative and accomidating. I would use her to watch Nash without a second thought.”


“Hillary and her family helped to take care of our pup for a last minute trip to the area. She sent updates and Gwynne enjoyed her time staying here 😊”


“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.”


“Alyssa did a great job taking care of Lynx!”


“Britta enjoyed lots of snuggles and playing with Minnie & Charolette ☺️ Hazzar sent pictures of Britta while we were away and was easy to communicate with.”


“Amanda was great with our puppy, Pampa. We got lots of updates on how she was doing and was very easy to communicate with. Her dog Theo was great with Pampa too, you could tell they had a lot of fun together over her stay. Would definitely recommend Amanda for anyone looking for a dog sitter! We’ll be sure to use her in the future as well.”


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 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…”


“Jani and Paul were wonderful dog sitters. They have a big fenced in yard and a beautiful home where the dogs are treated like royalty. I picked up my dog around dinner time and they had the thoughtfulness to feed him before I picked him up and also gave him a toy that he loved to play with. Jani and Paul were recommended to me by friends who use them with regularity as well. I would use them again for sure!”



“Max had a great week with Stacey! She sent lots of detailed updates and photos, has an awesome backyard, and was super flexible with some last minute changes in timing. Highly recommend!”


“Here's a review you can use: --- I recently had Joe dog sit for the second time, and once again, I am beyond pleased! I can’t express how grateful I am to have found him. Joe maintains excellent communication throughout the entire process, keeping me updated on how Elsa is doing. He is incredibly conscientious about ensuring she stays mentally stimulated, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear that Elsa has a wonderful time with Joe and his dog, Lilbet. In fact, I honestly believe she didn’t want to leave them when I picked her up! I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

Jo B.
“Jo did a great job taking care of my two older cats for several days. One of my cats needs insulin injections and Jo was committed to making that happen. (And my cat does not make that easy, but Jo got it done!) I feel 100% comfortable leaving my pets and home in Jo’s care. She stayed in touch with me throughout the time I was gone, asked questions when she needed to, and gave me updates on their care. I trust Jo completely.”

Beth does an amazing job watching our dog! She truly loves animals and it shows by how she treats them. We are thankful to have such a wonderful place to put our dog while we are gone!

First time with Mairany, everything went smoothly for drop off and pick up. Our dogs did not appear stressed at all in spite of a new sitter. Will definitely call again when needed.

Britta enjoyed lots of snuggles and playing with Minnie & Charolette ☺️ Hazzar sent pictures of Britta while we were away and was easy to communicate with.

Francesca did great with my little guy! He was very well taken care of! Thank you Francesca! I will be using her services in the future...

Mason took good care of Maya. He was great at communication and sent us pictures every day. We will leave Maya with him again without hesitation.

Giavanna did a masterful job taking care of our American Bulldog, Dutch. She is highly recommended.

Madeline was truly perfect! So sweet, so communicative, and really attentive to our dog. 10/10 would recommend!

Micaela was super sweet and very flexible! She was understanding when my drop off time had to change and was able to watch my dog with little notice! She sent pictures and updates and my dog seemed to have a lot of fun!

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!
