“Beth was fantastic. We had never left our girl for so long but she made it super easy…sending pics and updates on a regular basis. We will definitely be using Beth again!!”
“Joanna was absolutely amazing! Ness enjoyed playing with her husky and had a good time. Joanna was super flexible with us getting stuck in the mountains in bad weather and not being able to pick up as planned.”
“Jenesis was outstanding. We were in a panicked situation and she was very responsive to help. She was very kind and comforting to Chip during his stay and sent video and photos of him throughout his stay. She was wonderful about staying in touch with us anc keeping us updated on his walks and meals and how he was doing in general. I would recommend Jenesis to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and we will use Jenesis again next time we are in town.”
“Jo is a wonderful dog sitter! She cared for our shy rescue Cavalier Maggie who has some PTSD tendencies due to being raised in a puppymill overbreeding environment. Within minutes of arriving, Maggie was going to Jo and getting petted. Jo is attentive and caring. Nice home and fenced yard area. Maggie was well cared for by Jo and Kayla. Received daily pics and updates too. Definitely will hire Jo again and highly recommend her!”
“Danielle and her crew were great! She was very responsive to my messages and was able to watch my doggo on very short notice. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. If you're ever in Harrisonburg, choose her!”
“Mairany was a perfect cat sitter!! She took really good care of Nala. She definitely went above and beyond with all the pictures and text she sent. I would highly recommend Mairany as a pet sitter and will definitely be rebooking Nala with her!!”
“Anatolia did a great job taking care of my dog. I reached out to her two hours before dropping my dog as my other provider canceled on us. She followed our feeding process and sent us photos and videos. Very good communication.”
“Madeline was excellent! She was very attentive to my dog and kept in touch with me; sending pictures & videos of her. My dog was comfortable with Madeline. Her environment was very clean & tidy.”
“Wrigley had a great experience with Kendyl and her family. As a dog that is best to not be around other dogs, Wrigley thrived at Kendyl's while I was gone for a week. Would definitely use her again!”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Hillary! We receive daily updates with photos. Our girl was given walks and lots of love and had a fun time while we were away! Thank you!”
“Kaelyn was great with my foster dog for the weekend! She sent updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and she has roommates so it was nice to know that there were others around giving love to my pup as well!”
“Celia was amazing! She sent plenty of updates - both photos and videos- and I felt great seeing how well cared for my dog was while I was away. She did slow introductions with her dogs so everyone felt comfortable. I would be happy to leave Bean Sprout with Celia again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Andrea is the best dog sitter we have ever had! She was so good with our 2 dogs that every time we came to pick them up they wanted to stay with her! They absolutely loved staying with her and she always kept us up to date and was flexible.”
About: I’ve been a loving and loyal pet owner for 30 years and now I want to give back to other pet lovers in our community! I’m a young-ish retiree (50-something) with wide-open availability on weekdays and weekends, except when my husband and I are traveling to visit family and friends. I have a big back yard and love taking pups for walks around the neighborhood and to the nearby park. Relax/nap on indoor/outdoor doggie beds.
“Jani and Paul treated Leo like he was part of the family. He received so much attention and love, I’m not sure he wanted to leave! Thank you so much for giving Leo such wonderful care.”

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!
