Dog Sitting Massanutten

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 have years of experience with dogs across all sizes, energy needs and care needs! I’m very fond of all critters and can’t wait to help you out! I’m working part-time over the summer and a fellowship (32 hrs/week) into the 26-27 year, but I’m very available to provide care— just send me a message! I respect the understanding that you’ve developed of your pet’s specific needs— give me a list, and it will be accomplished to a tee with care and enthusiasm!

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!

About: Hi! I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking. I have 3 cats and 1 dog of my own and plenty of experience dog-sitting for other families. I’m reliable, caring, and flexible with scheduling—happy to help with walks, feeding, or drop-in visits!” I work during the day on weekdays, but I’m available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the weekends. This schedule allows me to reliably handle feedings, walks, check-ins, and playtime outside of typical work hours, making pet care a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine.” I will provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. During each visit, I ensure they have fresh food and water, take the dogs out for walks or potty breaks, clean the litter boxes if needed, and spend quality time playing and giving them attention. I follow each family’s routine closely so their pets feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have owned varying pets throughout my whole life; rabbits, hamsters, dogs, and cats. I'm responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals, which makes me a great choice for pet sitting. I understand how important it is to follow routines, provide companionship, and keep pets safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure pets feel happy and cared for. I also have a green thumb, so if you need me to water any plants while you're out, just ask! I currently have a full time job, so a majority of my openings will be on the weekends. However during the summer I am available between the hours of 4pm and 7am to take care of your pets. I will always keep them on a leash, if out for a walk. And if you need something specific done, just send me a message!

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. I am home all throughout the day on weekdays and weekends!! I love animals and would be happy to work around someone’s busy schedule. I can travel to meet you at your need! I’ll work with your preferences and special needs. I can come walk your dog and stop by to make sure they are doing okay if need be. Every dog type, size, and age I can care for and have no problem being around and playing with. I would love to help you out and watch after your loved pets! I am able to care for dogs every day from morning to night as I am home during that time. I am able to fully provide all of my attention to your pet. I live in a very safe and walkable neighborhood with a wonderful walking path. I also live a street away from a clean and safe dog park, that at your discretion would be happy to take your dog to.

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

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: 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 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: 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. I spend most of my time working at a local vet office full time. I have plenty of experience with animal waking, medicine administration (including insulin), training, nails , and many other tasks. Since do work full time outside of Rover , please message me if you have specific dates or times since my rover calendar does not always reflect accurate availability Safety , trust and environment are some of the most important things to me when taking care of someone else’s pets. My pets are like my children and any pet that is being watched by me will be treated the same. If I’m a clients home I will respect them and their home like it’s mine.

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.

“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 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 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.

“Anya made our little cat feel right at home with her which is a big deal considering how anxious ours usually is. She also made sure everything in our place was in working order while we were gone and sent us prompt pictures.”
