“Jani & Paul were able to graciously accommodate my puppy for daycare on very short notice. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and will most definitely be booking again. The best!!!”

“My pup is getting plenty of socialization at Carolyn’s. I’m a first puppy owner, so I get nervous with stuff, but I have trust in Carolyn that she knows what she’s doing. She takes great pictures, is laid back, and is knowledgeable about dogs. I really trust her and like her!!”
“They were great! Lots of land and friends for summer to place with, she sent pictures showing how much fun summer was having and made sure we weren’t rushing either. Great option if you’re visiting luray, they are north of Harrisonburg so the drive down and back to luray were short. Highly recommended”

So we downloaded this app for the first time and booked with her while we went out. She responded when I checked on him, and sent me pictures of him while he was with her. We are even booked an extra day with her while we were here because he did so well in her care! Thank you Brandy !!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. Walking my neighborhood dogs when their owners were away and having 3 dogs of my own. We currently have an Australian Shepherd who is almost 3. We e had him since he was a puppy. I currently work from home so have time to care for your pup. We have a large fenced in yard and walk our dog down the street daily. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly Australian Shepherd. Our home is pet-safe. We have two cats that have their own space that dogs cannot get to in case they are not fond of each other.
“I was going through Charlottesville and desperately need someone to watch my dog for a few hours while I went to the doctor and took my car to be serviced. Aly was exactly who I was looking for, and more important, exactly who my dog needed.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I know the importance of routine and a peaceful environment for pets who are away from home. I also trained dogs for special services and obedience, so I have the inside scoop on dog-language. I work from home, so I am available at all times. We love to take walks. We have a very predictable home routine and value a peaceful calm home where pets can enjoy themselves. When in our home, your pet will have his or her own space. We have a lead so that your pet can enjoy outdoor time. We have a quiet open back yard with plenty of space. We are always around, so the pet will always be accounted for. When caring for your pet in your home, I will be sure to respect your entry/exit requests, and make sure your pet is comfortable and safe.
“Grace had an awesome day of care with many friends to play with. Thanks Jeff!”
About: I have owned multiple dogs in my adulthood. I currently own a 2 year old golden who I have personally trained. I have worked at a dog day care for 5 months where I learned more about dog body language and how to diffuse any fights. I have walked and babysat dogs for friends. I consider all dogs to be my friends, because there is no such things as a bad dog. I work 12 hour night shifts Friday-Sunday. I am completely available Monday-Thursday, but can do some walks on weekends. Because my weeks are so open then I can spend more time taking care of pups. I have a friendly golden retriever who is only 2 (almost 3). She loves to play! She does great with other dogs (she used to have a brother) but also knows how to cuddle and chill. We have a big dog park that is hardly ever used where I could take her and yours.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was a child so I have years experience dealing with a variety of different animals including cats dogs and reptiles. I would love to help keep your up companion’s routine whenever you cannot. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to help you take care of your fur babies! I am available most weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard, but walks are frequent. My dog has a very mild temperament and would love to help tire out your pup if they like making new friends.
“I definitely recommend Sarah as the pet sitter. She was great and response to the message almost immediately. Both my dogs are so tired but happy. Additionally, she has three children meaning doggies get 3times more attention!! She also has a nice yard for doggies to run around and her dog Stella is so sweet! You don't need to worry about your doggies while you are gone!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats since I was 6 and after that eventually started taking care of dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs. I’ve also volunteered in multiple animal shelters and able to understand the need of any regular or special-need pet. I have worked a couple of years as a cat trainer as well. Currently I have three cats and two guinea pigs! One of my cat is a special need, incontinent cat, so I understand how to take care of a special fur-baby. I will take great care of your fur babies and make sure that they have a good time while you are away! I’m working from home and my husband works from home. We are available to take care of your fur babies on both weekends and weekdays! I am available to play with your dogs and cats after 5pm from Monday- Wednesday and all days on the other days. I have three very sweet and well behaved cats, they are indoor-outdoor and very friendly with neighbors cats and dogs. They will make your pet feel welcome and comfortable in my house. I have worked for years in shelters and took care of animals in need. I understand immediately if they are in distress, unhappy or scared. I can calm them down, will meet their needs and will be there are a friend and a caregiver.
About: Owner of a 501c3 animal rescue, I’ve worked with all types of critters. I’ve taken classes in wildlife rehabilitation, worked in dog training centers, and been employed in the county of LA handling overflow cases from Animal Control. I recently left my career behind to purchase a farm and dedicate myself full time to animals. Picking up a bit of work during the transition/ relocation to the farm. I own cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, fish, and a rabbit. I have a well practiced routine with my critters, leaving me open to help others with their babies. I have a few hours during the week I am unavailable due to helping out at a dog training facility (9 hrs/ wk). I am able to administer medications, spend time with more difficult or sensitive pets (plenty of patience for animals), and even implement any training techniques you’ve been working on with your babies. I’m definitely a believer in “no bad animals”. I also have an acre yard completely fenced in.

Charity & Fabien P.
“If you're looking for a dog sitter, look no further! Charity is excellent with dogs and provides calm, attentive, and environment that any dog would enjoy. I especially appreciate that she asks great questions - Is your dog afraid of anything (e.g. thunder)? Where does your dog prefer to sleep? What words does your dog know? Does your dog have a favorite place to receive pets/scratches? -- that ensures a visiting pup is comfortable and loved. Also, she provides fun pictures and updates on visitors which makes me feel like dog is enjoying her time. When I saw her with my high-energy 70lb 3-year-old pup I immediately saw that that my dog was calm and comfortable around Charity + family. In addition to working through Rover, Charity has extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including raising a puppy who later became a service dog!”

She is experienced in taking care of animals with special needs too. She would be the number one pick for me as a pet sitter. I highly recommend her.”
Emily C.
“Emily has been committed to helping pets across the country find great homes for at least the last decade. Our family has adopted 3 pets from her over the past two years and she’s gone above and beyond with provided initial supplies to help ease their transition to a new home. It’s obvious that her number one passion is saving and caring for animals whether they be dogs or cats or chickens or even injured wildlife. I could imagine no more reliable person for pet care.”
