Dog Sitting in Massanutten

“Aubree did a fantastic job with our two doggies. She was able to come out on the same day we contacted her and saved us a long drive back to our place and back to our event while we were on vacation to give our pups a potty break. Highly recommend her if you are staying at the Massanutten resort.”

“Carrie took great care of my bunny while I was out for the weekend. Carrie is extremely responsible and quick to respond to messages. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet.”

About: I have had dogs in the past and I currently have two cats. Awhile ago I fostered a kitten until she was ready to go to a loving home, it was such a great experience to have. I also am in school and hopefully on my way to being a Veterinary Technician in the future. I currently work part time at a veterinary clinic and also work for my father in-laws business. I do have flexibility during the day for potty breaks and feeding times. I would rather care for pets at the clients home just because I do have two cats of my own and live in a townhouse with my family. My animals are my kids and I love them so much. I would make sure to care for your animal as best I can and be as helpful to the client as I could.

About: Since I’ve been living on my own, I’ve had 3 dogs. Three Golden Retrievers over the last 30+ years. They are the best animals and I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. I can take care of animals Friday nights and all day Saturday and Sunday. I am available to stay over to watch animals on Friday and Saturday nights. I can come by houses to walk dogs or feed animals anytime after 5:30 during the week from Monday to Friday. I will come to your house and walk dogs, feed animals, and even clean litter boxes if needed during the work week. On Friday and Saturday nights, I can stay over.

About: I’ve never lived a year in my life without pets of my own. Fur babies are such a blessing and I care for them and love them as such. I’ve cared for puppies and kittens as well as sweet senior citizens. I’m also comfortable with caring for babes with medical needs. I volunteer as a foster at the local animal shelter and adore dedicating my time to animals. I LOVE to be outdoors and let pups enjoy nature. I’m a teacher who uses my patience to train as well as reinforce the behaviors you’d like me to in order to maintain consistency while you’re away from home. I’m very sensitive and attentive to animal behaviors and signals. I love to love on pets, but also know that sometimes the best love to give them is their space if they are out of their comfort zone or don’t enjoy affection. You can trust I will respect your fur baby and give them whatever they need. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and am happy to help you out while I’m home during the day. I used to wish someone could take my pups out during the day while I was at work teaching so I’d love to provide that to someone else! I’ve been complimented on having a google doc that I use for my own pets with details about their likes, personality, and schedule. That said, I am happy to follow any detailed directions you have for me to feel confident in knowing your fur babies are properly cared for. As a former elementary teacher of 10 years and current dog mom, I am a safety nut and will ensure your pets are safe around doors, fence gates, environmental factors, and other animals.

About: I have watched family and friends dogs and cats for years. I’ve administered medication for a diabetic dog, worked with puppies, and take care of outside cats at my job. I have also been responsible for pet sitting up to 6 animals at one time- used to complex routines. I work around 35 hours with 3 days off a week. On those 3 days I’d love to help out with your pet care needs. I genuinely enjoy working with animals and feel it would be a good way to spend some of my time. Whether the owner has a complex or simple routine to be followed, I will always follow it as the owner expects. I will never promise that I can do more than I can, I am fully transparent. I have a genuine love for animals and I’m willing to meet before if needed.

About: I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life. From rabbits, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, fish, a squirrel, dogs, and/or cats. I currently have a 2 year old high energy husky who loves to keep us on a schedule for his park visits and walks. I love all animals- all shapes and sizes- and would love to help you get your pup out for exercise and potty breaks or even visits in the home if you have a cat or caged animal that needs tending to while you work or travel! I work 12 hour shifts Saturday Sunday and Mondays so I am not available on those days. I am available anytime Tuesdays through Friday however. I have a 2 year old husky who keeps us on a very regimented routine. Once we have taken our kids to school he is ready for his daily trip to the local dog park in hopes we catch his doggy friends, where we spend at minimum an hour and by 3pm he is ready for his evening walk to burn up some of his energy!

“Very prompt in arriving and sent us pictures. Our pup made a mess with a toy and she even cleaned it up the best she could for us. Our dog usually barks at new people but he immediately loved her. Glad to have her around to check out pup, and would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 5 years old and currently have two of my own. For the past three years, I’ve been dog sitting for families with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to more relaxed, older dogs, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently a senior at JMU with a light course load, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and lots of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent as possible, whether in my home or my client’s home. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and are always in a safe, clean environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and energy level, follow any instructions provided, and give lots of love and reassurance so they feel comfortable and at home. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is in great hands.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. I have often pet sat for family and friends. I have also trained my family dogs basic commands. I typically only am at class for 3 hours a day but I have 2 roommates. Between all of us there is typically always someone home! I love to hangout with animals in my free time. I do not have a fenced yard but I can easily take pets on walks around my neighborhood. We have things put away so there is nothing they could eat or get hurt with. We keep our apartment clean and our door locked at all times.

About: I started working on a farm when I was 12, taking care of a variety of animals. Dogs, of course, are my favorite. I’ve taken care of tiny chihuahuas, large mastiffs, & even worked with trained hunting dogs. I only work part-time & have a flexible schedule. This makes it easy for me to not only care for your dogs but spend quality time with them as well! I believe animals should be treated with utmost respect. It’s normal for dogs to be upset & even scared when their owners are gone. Caring for animals mentally as well as physically is extremely important to me.

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.

I'm looking for this to be my full time job, so I am available whenever you need me! I'm willing to visit/walk early mornings, late nights, and on weekends. For home visits, I am experienced with feeding, walking, and playing with pets. I am great at following instructions precisely, and I will stick to your pet's usual routine!

About: Over the past year I have learned my passion for working with animals. I currently have 2 dogs (maverick and ella) and a kitty named Bynx.
