Pet Sitting Linville

“Catherine was wonderful. She made me feel so at ease. She sent updates and photos at each visit. She was kind when I accidentally booked for the wrong time, and was flexible to return later even though it was clearly my error. Will definitely request to book with her again!”

“Alyssa was such a great communicator! I have already booked her again 🤗”

“Jenna did a great job with my two cats. They are quite shy and go into hiding when anyone comes to the house. It took some time but by the end Ricky was greeting Jenna and getting some pets. Can't give a better endorsement than that! I had an accident while on vacation and needed help for about 5 weeks longer than planned which Jenna was able to do. That was extremely helpful. I would definitely use Jenna again an highly recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart is the warm, lively family environment I provide. As a mom of two, my home is already focused on care, routine, and patience. I am a stay at home mom of 2 school aged children, so my availability is unlimited. I will be there for you and your pet whenever you need me. I approach pet care with a focus on safety, comfort, and meeting each pet’s specific needs, whether they are in my own home or a client’s. Daily Care & Routine Feeding & Hydration: I provide meals at the correct times and in the right portions, following the owner’s or pet’s dietary needs. Fresh water is always available. Exercise & Play: Dogs get regular walks and play sessions; cats and other pets receive interactive play, puzzle toys, and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. Grooming: I brush fur, clean ears, and trim nails as needed to maintain hygiene and a healthy coat. Health Monitoring: I watch for changes in appetite, behavior, or physical condition and report any concerns to the owner or recommend a vet if necessary. Safe & Comfortable Environment I create a secure, hazard-free space with designated resting areas, pet gates, and soft bedding. I keep the living area clean, regularly cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and maintaining tidiness. For client homes, I check for safety hazards, secure gates, and ensure all pet access points are safe. Enrichment & Socialization I provide a variety of toys, scratching posts, and chew items to encourage natural behaviors. I spend quality time with pets through play, cuddling, and talking to build trust and reduce stress. I may reinforce basic training or good behavior during care. Communication & Consistency I follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to maintain routine and reduce anxiety. For client pets, I give regular updates via text, photos, or video to keep owners informed and reassured. I honor any specific instructions the owner has for care, feeding, or behavior. Special Considerations If I specialize in senior pet care, I provide gentle handling, extra attention, and a calm environment to support their comfort. For boarding or day care, I maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming space with plenty of social interaction. By combining consistent routines, attentive care, and a safe, pet-friendly environment, I ensure pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, whether they are in my home or a client’s.

“Ross was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about my pet’s well-being. I appreciated the regular updates and the attention to detail—everything was handled exactly as requested. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in good hands.”

“Krista went above and beyond for our kitties during our trip! She made sure to check with us during every feeding and stayed with them for extra play time and cuddles. We highly recommend booking her!”

About: I have taken care of pets for many years now for relatives, neighbors, and friends. It is something I enjoy to do when my schedule is open enough to do so! I am providing stop in, walking, day to day, and overnight care for pets. This includes regular activities like walking, playing, potty, feeding, car rides, cuddles, all included in the set price. I can also bathe the pets for an additional fee. I currently work full time my work day is typically split in half. Giving me the perfect timestamps throughout the day to check in on the pets. I work only in the Harrisonburg area so I am all around town. I am a local to Harrisonburg and know all the dog-friendly spots! Pet care fits into my daily schedule as I have always had pets until college, I am use to fixing my schedule around them, as pets are like children. I work short shifts where I drive to different clients all day, giving me many breaks throughout the day to spend time with the pets! I am a very neat and righty person. As I work with elderly patients, I am not afraid of bacteria or most things! I believe I am trustworthy for pet sitting as I have extensive experience in caring for humans.

“Rebecca was very attentive to our pets' needs, and made a real effort to play with our scaredy cats. She's a great pet sitter!”

“Thank you for your excellent care of our pets.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments since I was around 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays (especially afternoons and evenings) and weekends. I love spending quality time playing, exercising, and keeping pets company so they never feel lonely. I prioritize safety and comfort at all times. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and walking instructions, and I always keep pets supervised. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: Hi! Honestly, just here to fill a void for safe, affordable, reliable care in the community. I have a golden doodle that we're obsessed with and found that there's not a ton of options in the immediate area for reliable, safe care. Fenced in back yard! Currently a part time nurse that works 2-3 days a week. Availability will be made around my work schedule. Daily walks around the neighborhood to explore. I have a fenced in back yard with a friendly golden doodle. He's not crated but can offer crating animals visiting if a crate is provided!

“Estefani is the best! She was soooo sweet with my senior kitty. She is a great communicator and sent lovely updates each day. I felt so much better knowing she was looking after my cat. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I have great experience taking care of both dogs and cats! From taking care of my own high energy Australian Shepherd and very social cat, to being a reliable source of pet care for friends family, I am well versed in pet care! Currently, I am a graduate student at JMU. I have breaks between some classes and am up early! I am able to stop by to care for your pets between 2-3 times a day. I can assure your pet will be safe with me! I have experience working with flight-risk dogs and cats and am always careful to make sure everyone is accounted for. Additionally, I always make sure to send daily updates so you know your pet is safe and sound.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a couple of years and love to spend time with them. Making sure they have plenty of exercise, love and attention. I have a pretty flexible schedule that we can work out in order to accommodate you and your dogs needs. I’m willing to work with your schedule Making sure the dogs have the attention they need and keeping up with their diet is very important to me along with quality time outdoors.

“Chris even got rave reviews from my neighbors! They saw the great care she was taking with my senior cat, Chloe. She is definitely a 5 star sitter!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have been taking care of dogs of my own since I was able to walk and talk. I work hard and play harder with our furry friends! I am a fast learner, and can assist with training pups or taking care of senior dogs. My father is a veterinarian, so I was able to learn from him how to care for your pets. I attend James Madison University, so I will have classes with a varying schedule each weekday. I can stay full time at your home with your pets. I go to the gym, so I may be out for a short time to work out, but once I’m finished I’m right back at home with your pets! I have two dogs of my own. I feed/provide medication to them regularly (might go without saying) and I love to cuddle up with them on the floor and play with their toys with them. I’m very affectionate and will give your pets lots of attention and love.

“I recently had Sarah care for my two cats, while I was out of the country for 10 days, and she did a fantastic job. My cats are pretty easy to look after - just food, water, litter box, and a little playtime but she went above and beyond. When I returned, the cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Nothing in the house was disturbed, which shows they felt loved and secure. On top of that, Sarah was thoughtful enough to bring in my mail and even took the trash can in from the curb, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to friends and will definitely book her again in the future!”

“Samantha is the best. She is so caring to our babies and detail-oriented. Our family is so happy to have found her and plan on utilizing her drop in services as much as she allows us to!”

“Michael was great with our corgi, Bentley, while we were gone for the day. He arrived when we'd asked, spent time with Bentley, & sent photos. I will definitely use Michael again if he's willing!”

Zoe M.

“We went on a 2 week trip and needed someone to come by our home daily to care for our 3 cats! We were nervous because it was such a long time away from the cats, but we were lucky to work with Katie! She did a great job caring for our pets, and gave tons of updates and pictures!”
