House Sitting in Luray

“Morgan is wonderful! She came over for a meet-and-greet with our two older dogs a few days before she stayed at our house and they instantly loved her! She sent updates and photos and took great care of them and our home. I would definitely ask her to stay again.”

“Emily did a fantastic job once again taking care of our dog Rocky. She sent so many cute pictures and videos. She took Rocky on a walk and brushed him! Rocky always looks like he's having a blast when Emily is around!”

“I'm almost afraid to leave an honest review. BECAUSE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOOK HIM AGAIN! And I don't want him to be too busy. He did a wonderful job with our dog and our house. Saxon got all the exercise he needed, then apparently slept the afternoon away. Our home looked exactly how we left it. Maybe even better. Finn came for a meet and greet with Saxon and asked great questions about what Saxon likes and does not do, or should no do. We were very pleased and would definitely book him again.”

“Ember is awesome! She was so patient and allowed my "stranger-danger" dog to get to know her. Both dogs did amazingly with her!! Cannot recommend her enough!!”

Leandra S.

“Carmen did a wonderful job watching our home and caring for our senior dog while we were away. She gave us periodic updates while we were gone but was also always available whenever we reached out to her to make sure things were going smoothly. When we arrived home, you would have never known she was here, she left everything just as clean as when she arrived. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”

Katie D.

“Responsible, very caring to our dog, communicates well. We will enjoy using Nikita again.”

“Billy was the perfect Dog Sitter. All four of my dogs loved him immediately. He took such good care of them. He was prompt, courteous, attentive to all of my dogs. He was fantastic, and I will certainly use him again.”

Lisa M.

“Laura was amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our dog and cat while we were away for the holidays. It was clear that she takes great care in how she interacts with the pets she works with. We got so many photos and videos of our dog on adventures and playing and training around the house, we never worried about them at all. We even joked that the animals might prefer her to us because she was so good at keeping them entertained! Knowing our animals were being we'll loved was exactly the kind of peace of mind we needed and SO worth every penny. We can't thank Laura enough!”

Grant L.

“Darian was amazing! She house sat for our three cats, two dogs, and backyard chickens. She gave us peace of mind knowing she was responsible, caring, and professional. She really cared for our animals like they were her own. We will definitely be asking her to take care of our girls again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone.”

Rae S.

“My dogs love Sam! Sam asked good questions and made sure he understood all the medication and special needs. He played with my youngest and cuddled with my older dogs. Sam arrived on time and kept me updated. My dogs were relaxed and happy when I got home and the house was spotless. My boys are looking forward to more visits with Sam!”

About: - Please note: On my property I have created a private fenced dog park and will pick u your fur baby, travel to my private dog park, spend a few hours having amazing fun and then travel back home, happy as can be and exhausted! - I have been a volunteer and foster of shelter animals as well as rescuing and providing a forever home for animals for many years. I worked at a shelter for a short time before resigning to open my own animal rescue. Working at an animal shelter opened my eyes to so many issues and reasons why people surrender their animals. I am currently in the process of opening an animal rescue through fostering each animal while finding a forever home for them. In addition, my rescue will focus on educating the public on the responsibilities of owning an animal over its lifetime. Opening a Non Profit rescue is what I am doing in my spare time because I have to continue to earn a living to provide for my family. Dog/cat sitting is the perfect profession for me because I get to continue to work with animals on a full-time basis and I feel this is the area in which I thrive and can continue to help with providing the best care possible. Over the years I have learned something from every animal I have worked with and/or owned. In recent years, I have completed training in Behavior Adjustment Training and The DO NO HARM DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR HANDBOOK. I have the skills to know how to positively and appropriately approach animals as well as interact with them in a healthy way. In addition, I have the skills to quickly earn the trust of an animal. I am hoping that caring for animals will become my profession because I feel that I thrive in this area. Animals are the food for my soul and it would be a dream come true to work with them on a full-time basis. In my home and in my client’s home I practice what I have learned through attending dog training school as well as reading and practicing “THE DO NO HARM DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR HANDBOOK.” Through school and experience I have learned how to appropriately approach animals, how to interact in a positive manner and how to gain the trust of an animal. In addition, I have the skills to positively interact with animals that may have difficulty walking on a leash, excessive jumping and much more.

About: I grew up with a variety of animals, including several senior dogs. I fostered several dogs through the SPCA throughout my time in college, and am comfortable with a variety of behavioral and medical needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, one of which is a rescue. I work remotely, so I’m flexible to check on your furry friends throughout the day. If I do have standing weekly meetings, I’ll be sure to communicate those times so you know when I’ll be by. I do not do sitting in my home due to the reactivity of one of my dogs. I am very conscientious and careful with pets, and will make sure to watch your pet with a close eye, crate when needed, and utilize leash and outdoor safety skills when outside of your home.

About: I'm friendly with all kinds of pets, both kitties and doggos, I have a very peaceful home very welcoming to new critters. Plenty of room to run around and exercise. Currently working part-time for the summer, can easily give your fur baby's the attention they need whenever you're busy or out of town. Plenty of space behind the house to get them lots of exercise. Hardwood floors and a big grassy yard with a field behind the house. Very easy to walk super quiet neighborhood. Also have the ability to create your pets if necessary.

About: I have 3 years of experience running my own pet and house-sitting and have taken care of many different types of our four legged friends. I’m available to house and pet sit as well as just swinging by and letting your dogs out or to feed you fur babies 24/7 I will gladly take care of your fur babies in your home however you would like and follow any direction and of course give cuddles!

About: With a diverse background in pet care, I have to ability to provide a multitude of services. I have experience with daily walks, pet bathing, and drop in visits. I have house sat many times, both short and long term stays. Reach out with any questions! I’m a full time college student and part time server. I’m looking for some extra income, and pet-care is flexible and fits into my schedule nicely. I have a lots of land and a yard far from the road so I can play with your pup outside! I also have four beautiful dogs to keep your fur baby company!!

About: We grew up with dogs and have been dog-sitting for thirty years. In the 90s, we had “Pampered Pets” in Boston, then we moved to Washington, DC, where we rebranded as “Top Dog DC,” and now we’re in Sperryville, VA, with “2 Dog Hotel.” Also, in the early 2000s, we raised four “Guiding Eyes for the Blind” puppies. Puppy raisers are critical to many organizations that train working dogs. Future guide dogs must be socialized in warm and loving homes, the puppies are fun, and puppy raisers learn about dog psychology and training. However, it's still not easy sending the pups off to college. Having done many "Intervac" house swaps, now we're getting into house sitting. We can take care of your pets and your home while you travel. We spend much time at home on our patio, gated deck (squirrel TV included), near a cozy wood stove, or on the nearby hiking trails. Since we spend so much time at home, keeping to your dog’s regular schedule is manageable. When we have dogs, we rarely do things where they can't join us. We only take care of one or two dogs at a time. The truth is we enjoy the pet therapy we get from dog-sitting, and the therapists seem to like it too.

“Jocelyn did a fantastic job looking after my fur babies. Easy to work with and good communication.”

About: I have taken care of young, middle and elderly age dogs throughout middle school, high school and college. Whether it be friends or families pets. I currently work for the National Park Service as a Park Ranger at Shenandoah National Park. As a Park Ranger I often interact with dogs on park trails. Before or after work I would love to take care of your animals and bring comfort of mind that your animal would be well cared for. I ensure that pets are well taken care of by providing a safe, healthy environment with proper nutrition and regular exercise, as well as preventative medical care.
