Dog Sitting Massanutten

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle older dogs, such as my own. I tailor my approach to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and attention to detail—I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. I have experience with basic training reinforcement, senior pet care (including administering oral medications), and making nervous animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, structured playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I care for every pet like they’re my own. Also for full disclosure up front, I do work two jobs during the summer. I am a part time math tutor and I also work at Costco. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. With no classes or school obligations right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits—whatever fits your pet’s routine best. I love spending my summer surrounded by animals, and I’m fully committed to giving each pet the time and attention that they need. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all owner instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medication dosages—to ensure consistency and well-being. I always secure doors, windows, and any potential hazards to create a safe environment. As for staying in my home, I unfortunately cannot have other pets coming and staying with me, due to the amount of allergies in my household and my older dog that is living with me

“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 always had dogs in my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. For over a year I have volunteered at an animal shelter where I regularly walk, spend time with, and care for dogs with a variety of behaviors and energy levels. I have also dog sat multiple times, both by welcoming dogs into my home and caring for pets in their own homes. As a graduate student, I have developed strong responsibility, communication, and time-management skills, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs and cats, and caring for them brings me genuine joy. Over the years, I have gained experience looking after pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and providing plenty of affection and attention. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, kindness, and a safe environment where they feel comfortable and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet routine, I am committed to treating them like a member of my own family. My goal is to ensure that both pets and their owners feel happy, comfortable, and confident while they are in my care. I am currently free most of the summer as I am a teacher. I am willing to work with your schedule and what works best for your pet. I will play with them, give them all the space that they need in order to get used to me. I will be patiently waiting for them to come to me and allow me to play with them. Making sure they are happy and safe.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have taken care of relatives and friends dogs for years. I’ve helped my parents raise their dog from little to her seniorhood.

About: Every summer I have helped my mom out- who is a nanny- by taking care of pets of her clients while she takes care of the kids. And I enjoyed playing with them and keeping the pets company, for they also keep me company throughout the day. I am currently not working at any outside jobs. I have plenty of time during the week to watch any pet at any time of day I will pay very close attention to the dogs. I know that pets needs love and care, and I will be more than happy to give them such. And treat them as if they are my own. And will cater to their needs, and as instructed by their owner as well.

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.

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: 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.

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.

“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!”

“Anya did a great job with my two cats. That was my first time using Rover, and daily photo updates put me at ease as both of my cats looked just so happy. Thank you!”

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!

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I also have a cat who also loves going for walks and being let outside, I think he thinks he is a dog too! I am currently working part-time and will be avaliable as needed. My schedule is flexible and I am looking for cute puppies and pals to play with and take care of! In my home both my cat and dog are fed on a schedule and taken outside on a schedule as well. They love to play and cuddle all of the time.

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.
