“Morgan was excellent taking time to get to know Starbuck, a nine-year old Border Collie that's very sweet and quite sensitive, and make him feel comfortable. He was very happy to see her when she arrived. She listened carefully to all instructions and implemented them on the first booking after our meet and greet. We don't need pet care very often because we have family nearby, but Morgan will be our go-to sitter when ever we do! We recommend her very highly.”


“Caitlin did a great job watching my two senior cats! The cats enjoyed Caitlin’s visits and I enjoyed her updates and the photos of her check ins. I’ll be asking her back any time I need help taking care of them when I’m out of town.”


“Carolyn is the best!! She took perfect care of my cat and was kind and communicative (as always). Whenever I'm on a trip, I always feel safe knowing that miss Jingle is in great hands :)”


“Olivia did a great job with my two senior kitties. Even giving Albuteral puffs to one of them. She gave them love and made sure to follow all my directions. The pictures she sent were great too. I totally recommend her and will use her again!”


“Morgan was fantastic. I wasn't worried about anything with Bradley. She kept us updated and even sent pictures. We will use her again hopefully!!”


“Kat dis a drop-in with my five dogs without a ton of notice and knocked it lit of the park! The dogs seemed to be over the moon in the pictures she sent me, and all the pups were happy as could be when I got back. Thank you so much, Kay!”


“My first time using Rover, Amanda was great, very sweet and kind person. My senior dogs loved her, I will definitely use her again.”


“Eyowyn was great! She watched our kitties for 4 days and provided them with much needed care. She asked the right questions and I would definitely recommend her.”


About: -10+ years of experience including an internship at a vet’s office. -Experience caring for a large variety of breeds and ages, dogs as well as cats! - Comfortable with puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with special needs. - Experience with handling emergency pet care situations in a calm and efficient manner. I love being around animals and spend a lot of time at my fiance’s horse ranch with 13 dogs and 12 cats! Your fur babies will be in good hands❣️ I also will take photos and send lots of updates I’m about to start a new semester of online college, so my schedule is very flexible. I have open availability to come for drop in visits and dog-walking throughout the week, and am also free to pet-sit overnights any days including weekends. I will follow any instructions on your pet care exactly as you have stated them and I will send updates of your fur-babies, and stay by my phone if you have questions. In case of emergency, I can provide basic first aid and I am comfortable transporting your animal to the vets office right away if need be.

“Nicole does a great job with my cats! Both are trouble makers, usually smashing or destroying things if left alone, but I know I can trust her to contain their chaos while I’m away.”


“Catherine was wonderful. She made me feel so at ease. She sent updates and photos at each visit. She was kind when I accidentally booked for the wrong time, and was flexible to return later even though it was clearly my error. Will definitely request to book with her again!”


“Cameron was very reliable and did a great job of updating me every day.”


About: While my last 10 years of employment have been in the schools and therapy centers, I have been caring for animals since I was about 10 years old. I grew up volunteering at dog training facilities and learning “tricks of the trade”. As a former cat owner and current dog owner, I am a firm believer that pets are a vital family member and deserve all the love and care that humans do (sometimes more). I have currently taken time off from being a full time school administrator to focus on my family. While my children are in school and activities, I am looking to spend time with animals and help others keep their pets well-taken care of while they may be away or working. I treat each pet as if they were my own, and perhaps even better than because I know the peace of mind it brings knowing they are cared for and loved. It is important to me that their emotional and physical needs are met, however best suits them and their owners.

About: I have grown up in a pet friendly household and taken care of my neighbors pets frequently. I love being around both cats and dogs! I am on summer break so I have a lot of free time! I have an internship that is very flexible and once a week (ending soon though) but other than that I currently do not have any other things that interfere with my schedule. I like to create an environment for pets where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I love giving them lots of toys and playing with them, but knowing when to give them space or let them nap. I also love taking them on long walks or just giving them lots of pets :)

About: I have always had a dog in the family to care for, however recently this summer I cared for many pets over week long periods. I wake up to feed and walk my dog every morning so I am already in the groove of petting sitting from the moment I wake up. I am always cautious and safe when caring for my clients. At my house, I have a fenced in back yard as well as two friendly dogs that love to play.

About: As a sitter, I stand out by offering personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I have experience in puppy traning, helping young dogs learn basic commands and proper behavior. I also have experience with walking big dogs and small dogs. I've had a dog my whole life who I have trained. My calm demeanor, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a safe, happy environment make me a reliable choice for any pet, no matter their age or special requirements. Additionally, I prioritize clear communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos so you can feel connected while you're away. I'm a full-time student, but I take dog-sitting seriously and I'm avaliable Thursday-Sunday to dog sit. I make sure to make time for walks, play, and feeding. I ensure pets receive regular exercise and attention, which helps maintain their health and happiness. If, needed I can incorporate short trianing sessions to reinforce good behavior and build a strong bond. I adapt my routine based on the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s more frequent potty breaks for young pups or gentle walks for senior dogs. I provide a pet-friendly space, free from hazards, with plenty of room to play and rest. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, ensuring your pet feels secure. Playtime and affection are central, so pets get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. For pets with special needs or medications, I follow detailed instructions to ensure their health is top priority. I respect your home and your pet’s established routine, making sure they remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I bring my own pet-sitting essentials but ensure all of your pet's favorite toys, bedding, and treats are used. I provide updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected with your pet while you're away.

“Casey was great with our pups”


“Arianna was great with our pets (2 cats and 1 dog). She was communicative and kept me updated with pictures and followed through with all the requested drop-in visits.”


About: My first dog was with me for 14 years and I now have an 11 year old. Raised like family and to be trail dogs. I walk twice a day and provide plenty of affection. I work from home. There is a morning walk and then an afternoon walk with potty breaks during the day. I can travel within the Massanutten and Elkton areas. I can keep them on the current feeding schedule and provide bathroom breaks as needed. Crates are acceptable and specific instructions followed. I have a friendly Fruggle who gets along with everyone. We do prefer dog friendly dogs.

“These girls went above and beyond when I had some additional requests while I was away. I 1000% recommend them to anyone that is looking for someone that will take the time to treat your pets like their own. Will definitely be using them for more worry-free vacations.”
