“Jocelyn was perfect for our cat! Our cat isn't super sociable and she understood that and gave her the space she needed. Thorough with communication and flexible to our needs! 5 stars all the way and will be booking again”

About: I’ve dog, cat, and farm sat for years! I’m great with all sorts of animals and love getting to know new animals and their needs. I can give all sorts of medicines and am prepared to work with all sorts of circumstances! I am a student but have a very flexible work schedule and can fit most hours of care into my schedule. If you need overnight stays I can do that too! As long as the accommodations work for you and your pet, I am willing to work with the environment of your pets home. I cannot do boarding.
“Stephanie took great care of my girls! She did everything I hoped she'd do while I was away and sent pictures. It was a nice peace of mind to know she was there and my cats were well cared for.”

About: I've had experience with my own pets since I was 10 years old, and I have walked dogs and house sat occasionally as well.

About: I’ve owned dogs/cats all my life for as long as I can remember. Being the 2nd oldest in my home I was responsible to help with the walking, grooming, and their general needs. Since renting and not able to have a pet, I’ve missed having a pet to care for and thought this would be a great opportunity for everyone involved! If I say I can do it, I’ll hold my word to it. I am dependable, responsible, honest and caring. I work at an elementary school during the day so I’ll be available evenings, weekends, and pretty much all day on holidays and during the summer. I live in an old farm house with a big yard with plenty of room to run around outside and inside. I can also crate at night or let them sleep wherever they please. If needed to get up during the night to let them out, I’d be able to do that as well.
“Anya was amazing with my kitten! I got so many great photos and videos and felt completely at ease my trip knowing my cat was in good hands! Anya also works with animals for a living and so for me that was a huge plus too- she is absolutely a professional and I’m excited to book her again.”

About: I have had pets since I was a young girl and developed a responsibility from a young g age. I loved caring for my pets and I enjoy meeting new furry friends! I have had years of experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I am currently working part-time in Harrisonburg VA during the weekends, if you need someone to stop by while you are at work during the weekdays, feel free to contact me a day in advance or more! I ensure my pets are taken care of and receive the proper enrichment they need, I love taking my high energy dog on trail walks and visits to the dog park. I am more than happy to do the same for your pets.
“An excellent experience across the board: scheduling, reliability, friendliness, and most importantly Hannah made friends with one of my cats who never lets strangers approach her. I highly recommend her services.”

About: Have you ever wished you had someone who could take care of your pets like you do? Here I am!! My dogs are my babies! I have 2 Male Labradors named Tank(2) and Nash(5months)! I have always struggled with finding someone I TRUST watching my pets, I want them to be treated how I treat them! With treats, toys and walks! I will be offering walks, potty breaks, treats (unless you have a pet with food restrictions please bring your own) if they are water babies I will take them swimming! Required: Please also provide documentation of vaccinations, and flea/tick/heart worm Required: Please make sure your dogs are friendly with other dogs before booking! **If looking to book where I need to stay at your home please take it into consideration me coming early in the morning or after work timeframe** I work from home Monday-Thursday and weekends I am available. Please just make sure your pets are friendly. My dogs are not neutered. Thank you! My pets are supervised at ALL times since I work from home. We do have a fenced in area where the dogs can play outside. We do reside in a 5th wheel that is very spacious! Dogs are allowed on the couch or dog bed. If you bring your own dog bed please make sure it is clean! If I am watching at someone’s home, I will make sure messes are cleaned along with treats given if told so. Along with walks, we like to take our dogs to Coyners dog park and let them play. If your dog is not friendly this is not the fit for you.
About: I have been taking care of neighborhood pets for years. I am an approved foster for several local rescues and a volunteer dog transporter. I am familiar with most types of leashes, including gentle-leaders/head harnesses (hey- those things are tricky!). I have transported hundreds of dogs across Virginia and am very used to all size dogs and dogs with special needs. I am pet first aid certified. I have taken care of special needs cats and kittens through the SPCA and am available to administer most meds. I have a fenced-in yard and my dog is very used to a variety of dogs. She will adapt to their energy level and friendliness My immediate family lives on the same property and stops by several times a day to let the dogs out for potty breaks and exercise (only if pet parents approve). I also have indoor/outdoor cameras to check in throughout the day. I have extras crates of all sizes. I also have one Fi gps collar that is available for boarding dogs. This is a collar that alerts me if the dogs leave my fenced yard and will give me their exact GPS location at all times. It also tracks their steps, which is pretty fun to see. I am happy to share the app with you while you are away! You will receive plenty of updates and photos (unless you choose not to!). Boarding dogs may be crated during the day or may be free in our downstairs- depending on pet parent preferences. Our pets are family and are allowed on furniture, however, there are plenty of dog beds to go around. I live west of Harrisonburg and work in Charlottesville, so I am available anywhere in between, on a case-by-case basis. All dog daycare and boarding clients will need to do a meet and greet to ensure compatibility with my resident dogs (my dog is 100% dog friendly, but I typically have a foster, so I always dog test before accepting new clients). We work outside of the house Monday through Friday. We do have family on the property who let our dog out once or twice a day and will be available to do so for your pets as well if you'd like. My family are all experienced pet care givers, animal rescue transporters and approved fosters through the SPCA. I am happy to follow preferences of the pet parent. When in our home dogs may have free rein, or can be crated. I am experienced with frightened dogs, dogs who may run, senior dogs and puppies.
