“Kendyl was amazing. She updated me regularly. Took my dog on a trail. She introduced my puppy to a world he has never seen. Like chickens, children. Thank you so much kendel.”


“Beth was absolutely amazing! Kept us updated with videos and pictures the entire time! Highly recommend her and will absolutely be return to her for any future needs!!! We can only give 5 stars on here but she deserves so much more 💜”


“Terrific service and communication! Anatoliy sent us pictures almost every day and responded quickly to all my questions. Our dog had an awesome time running around off leash in their fenced in yard!”


“Another Rover success in the books! Joanna was amazing with our boy. I always try to find someone that is home a lot and has animals at home, she totally checked all the boxes I needed. She sent updates and pics of Vader and her pups/kitty playing. I was a bit nervous about her cat, considering Vader had not been around cats in a while, but everyone meshed well together. Her location was easy to find, drop off was quick and painless, as was pickup. We will definitely bring Vader back the next time we go out of town! I highly recommend Joanna if you are looking for a team to love your fur baby while you are away. Thank you Joanna and fam and we will see you next time!”


“Mairany was a perfect cat sitter!! She took really good care of Nala. She definitely went above and beyond with all the pictures and text she sent. I would highly recommend Mairany as a pet sitter and will definitely be rebooking Nala with her!!”


About: I have previously worked as a vet assistant in a veterinarian's office and as the rescue/foster/adoption coordinator at an animal shelter. I have over 25 years of personal experience and 5 years of professional experience taking care of pets of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I can administer medications orally, topically, give injections, and IV fluids with confidence. I'll take care of your pet as as if they were one of my own! For drop-in visits in your home, I am flexible throughout the week and have availability on weekdays and weekends. I am happy to come by anytime between 7 am and 10 pm. For doggy day care or boarding in my home, my office is 5 mins away from home. My partner works from home during the week and is glad to tag in to help with pet care as needed. I have my own vehicle and can easily travel to care for your pet in the Harrisonburg or Rockingham County area. I am happy to care for your pet in your home according to any instructions or requests that you share. I am also happy to water plants or bring in mail if you wish. After a successful meet and greet, I would be happy to host your pet in my home. There's a fully fenced yard and ample grass to romp in and take care of business. I live in a quiet neighborhood and am game to take your dog on a walk with mine. Pets are welcome on the furniture and there's even space to snuggle up in the bed if they're used to bunking up together at night. Our 7 year old female Yorkie is very dog-friendly and enjoys having company. She's a good playmate if your dog is up for a little tug on a toy or chase in the yard. She's also good at reading signs from dogs when they're done playing or want to be left alone. We would love to welcome you to our home for a meet and greet prior to booking to make sure everyone gets along.

“We are extremely pleased with the care Hailey provided for my dog, Milo. She was attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Milo seemed happy and well-looked after when I picked him up. Hailey kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. The place was clean, and Milo had plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend Hailey for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

Hardwood floors and a big grassy yard with a field behind the house. Very easy to walk super quiet neighborhood. Also have the ability to create your pets if necessary.

“Jon and his family were very gracious hosts for our furry family member. He was very thorough in asking about our beagle’s needs and provided all necessities for a successful stay: crate, bed, fenced yard, and lots of play and spoiling! It was comforting knowing that it was more of a retreat for our dog than boarding, and Jon went above and beyond to make things easy and successful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his hands and will be return customers! Thanks!”


“Kim was so great watching our pup. She provided lots of updates and amazing photos of our dog having the best time. Our dog did not want to leave when I picked her up! It was so nice knowing that our dog was in the best hands, will definitely book again in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Tara, and my husband, Drew, and I are lifelong dog lovers who enjoy sharing our home and adventures with furry friends!
