Pet Sitting in Harrisonburg

“Melinda is amazing. I have one dog is leery around new people and I was worried she would not do well. Instead she fell in love with Melanie and my mind is so at ease. The other 2 dogs adore her too. She also watches after my cats. I highly recommend her!!”

“Ana came for a drop in visit for our pups when I was out for a long work day. She fed, watered and took them out for a potty break. We will definitely use Ana again!”

“Jesse was so calm with our highly-anxious GSP. We were so pleased with how well he interacted with her, and are excited that we have found someone we can trust with our special girl! She’s not aggressive, but generally a bit distrustful, and he was able to overcome her fear. Great job.”

“Abigail provided amazing care for my Golden Retriever. You can tell that this is more than just a job for her. Not only is she responsible and prompt but perhaps more importantly she truly cares for the animals. I will definitely use her again!”

“Great and very thoughtful taking care of my two kitties!”

“Tatum is a gem! She is kind, attentive and very punctual for her visits. Bonus is that our elderly dog loves her! Highly recommend Tatum. Thank you Tatum!”

About: As an animal owner, I've had a menagerie; dogs, cats, chickens, fish, hermit crabs, etc. I've been pet-sitting for about 6 years now, and I’ve cared for up to 5 cats and a dog in one household at a time, with dogs ranging from 12-75 pounds. I'm also an active volunteer at the animal shelter near my college in Chicago, where I work mainly with cats but still do bits of dog work. Because of my volunteering, I've handled animals of all ages, animals with behavioral issues, and animals with special medical needs. From Thanksgiving until New Years, I'm available for all of your winter vacations! I am on break for school and only plan on working part-time, so I am very flexible with dates and times. I will only do pet care at the owner's residence, since I have so many animals at home it may not be a good idea to add more to the mix. However, I am very responsible when in others' homes, and always make sure to leave it better than I found it! I am also flexible to how often I come over for pet care, and can work with whatever needs your animal has.

“Lauren was amazing! While I was away, she sent so many great pictures and updates of my dog. He truly looked like he was having the best time with her! It put me at ease being away knowing that my pup was being looked after so well. Thank you, Lauren!”

“Allison was terrific! Very punctual. We had peace of mind that our cat was being taken care of. She requires medication twice a day and Allison was great. Will definitely book again.”

“Sarah W. has one of the most extensive knowledge of dog (and other animal) behaviors I have ever seen. She has expert dog training skills understanding differing breed behaviors and personalities. She shows love and respect to all types of animals while maintaining order. She has dutifully cared for my pets, and I have personally seen her interact with her own animals. She is always conscientious and trustworthy and punctual.”

“Tiffany is such a loving and compassionate human who brings those same qualities to whichever pet she is caring for. She is great at paying attention to details and provides exceptional care to all animals!”

“Jordon is a fabulous pet care giver. She loved our gentle giant (100lb yellow lab) like he was her own. We felt so relaxed on vacation knowing Jordon was caring for Bodie and staying in our home. She was reliable and responsible following the schedule we left for his walks, feeding and daily routines. Jordon communicated with us while we were away to clarify any questions she had regarding Bodie or our home. We highly recommend Jordon to care for your four legged family members.”

“Vonda did drop-in visits for our cat Alex and I couldn't been happier with her service and attention to him. She provided pictures daily and he looked happy each time. Vonda's updates allowed us to be comfortable way from Alex and to enjoy our vacation. She was great.”

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Skipper.”

“Kayla is FANTASTIC. Very responsive and responsible; thoughtful, reliable. My dog loved her! I’ll definitely be reaching out to Kayla for all my dog care needs!”

“Logan is the BEST person to watch over your furry friends! She has personally watched my two cats for years! She is trustworthy, caring, and intelligent when it comes to anything animal related. She has volunteered at the local spca and is a trusted member in the community!”

“Dana continues to be a great pet sitter for my cats! They are used to him now and it is a huge relief to know that someone is taking care of them who knows them and that they are comfortable with.”

“Moriah did a great job and was super patient with my nervous pup. Once he warms up, he is fine, but he gets really nervous meeting new people and Moriah really worked to win him over.”

“To Whom it May Concern: I have known Emily all of her life. She has always been a kind, compassionate and empathetic individual. Growing up with cats all of her life, Emily has always had a love for dogs. She has had exposure to American Bullies and to English Bulldogs, but would be comfortable with all breeds. Her dream some day is to become a licensed veterinarian technician to continue to care for animals in need. She has two cats of her own, Lily and Oscar and adores them. Oscar was a rescue that someone had found on the side of the road and she took him in. Several months ago she fostered a kitten and it was successfully adopted. She is not afraid of a challenge when caring for animals and would take care of any dog that is entrusted to her. I hope that you will consider her for this position.
