Dog Sitting in Harrisonburg

“Karmy was very kind and communicative! I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get a sitter during the holiday season, so I'm very appreciative of her help.”

About: I’ve grown up with owning dogs and a couple cats. Everything from a mini schnauzer, pit bull, beagle, husky, and even a Doberman pincher. This has consisted of walking, feeding, giving medicines, bathing, and general love. I’m currently a full time student at BRCC and work as a server. When I work nights, I’m free all day until 4pm. When I work days, I’m free after 6pm. I will provide care however is desired. I will always give lots of petting unless they would rather have their space. Discussing ahead of time and triggers or routines is much appreciated and allows my care to be tailored towards your pup.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a toddler. I grew up with two dogs, and have been relied on to feed, walk, and care for them. My father and I also trained our youngest dog, Echo when we first adopted him. My friends have also relied on me to walk and feed their dogs while away on trips. I absolutely love being in the presence of dogs, and I would love to do so while making sure your dog(s) receive quality care! I am a fourth-year student at James Madison University, so I do have classes during the weekdays, but I have a lot of availability! My part-time job also takes up some of my time, but I am more than willing to work to find a time that works for me! I live in a small apartment, so my services will be provided in your homes to avoid dogs being uncomfortable or feeling trapped, for my apartment is not suitable for bigger dogs.

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. I will follow any instructions on your pet care exactly as you have stated them and I will send updates of your fur-babies, and stay by my phone if you have questions. 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.

“Julia was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Do not hesitate to book her! She cared for our three high maintenance cats for a week and I cannot rave enough about her! We came home to three well cared for cats and no huge mess! She took pictures every day and sent daily notes about how her visits were. I’ve never had a cat sitter as thorough as her! She actually spent time with them and communicated very well. I cannot say enough good things about her!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been caring for them for over 8 years. For the past 2–3 years, I’ve regularly walked dogs at my college animal shelter. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy connecting with every animal I meet. I currently work a few mornings during the week, which leaves my afternoons and evenings free to care for your pets! I’m also available on weekends for dog walking, drop-ins, or boarding. Pet care easily fits into my routine because it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. I always prioritize comfort and safety, whether that means giving space or providing plenty of play. I’m also happy to crate your dog if that’s part of your home routine or training. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.

About: As a sitter, I stand out by offering personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I have experience in puppy traning, helping young dogs learn basic commands and proper behavior. I also have experience with walking big dogs and small dogs. I've had a dog my whole life who I have trained. My calm demeanor, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a safe, happy environment make me a reliable choice for any pet, no matter their age or special requirements. Additionally, I prioritize clear communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos so you can feel connected while you're away. I'm a full-time student, but I take dog-sitting seriously and I'm avaliable Thursday-Sunday to dog sit. I make sure to make time for walks, play, and feeding. I ensure pets receive regular exercise and attention, which helps maintain their health and happiness. If, needed I can incorporate short trianing sessions to reinforce good behavior and build a strong bond. I adapt my routine based on the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s more frequent potty breaks for young pups or gentle walks for senior dogs. I provide a pet-friendly space, free from hazards, with plenty of room to play and rest. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, ensuring your pet feels secure. Playtime and affection are central, so pets get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. For pets with special needs or medications, I follow detailed instructions to ensure their health is top priority. I respect your home and your pet’s established routine, making sure they remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I bring my own pet-sitting essentials but ensure all of your pet's favorite toys, bedding, and treats are used. I provide updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected with your pet while you're away.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle older dogs, such as my own. I tailor my approach to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and attention to detail—I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. I have experience with basic training reinforcement, senior pet care (including administering oral medications), and making nervous animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, structured playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I care for every pet like they’re my own. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. With no classes or school obligations right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits—whatever fits your pet’s routine best. I love spending my summer surrounded by animals, and I’m fully committed to giving each pet the time and attention that they need. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all owner instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medication dosages—to ensure consistency and well-being. I always secure doors, windows, and any potential hazards to create a safe environment. As for staying in my home, I unfortunately cannot have other pets coming and staying with me, due to the amount of allergies in my household and my older dog that is living with me
