About: 2 years of experience at Hayfield Animal Hospital working in the kennel. Caring for up to around 50 dogs at a time. Giving them food, water, walks, playtime, pets, and sometimes medication. I would also give baths if requested. I really enjoyed working there and getting to know all types of animals. I’m used to working with a broad range of personalities, sizes, and stages of life for both dogs and cats. I also have two rescue dogs of my own and four cockatiels. I am a college student with a good amount of free time. I have some days with and without classes. I would love to spend more of my free time hanging out with some wonderful animals! I can spend time with the animal and give them any care they need. I can feed, walk, and administer some medication. I know how to read body language and present as a very friendly person for animals.

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.

“Ashleigh came through for me in a pinch when another sitter bailed last minute and I couldn't have asked for a better substitute! She was quick to respond to my messages and went above and beyond for Lucy. I'd recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have always had a love and passion for animals since I was a little girl. I started in elementary school by offering to walk my neighbors' dogs just so I could have the opportunity to play with them. Over the years, I have gained even more love and experience in properly caring for all animals as if they were my own. I am a student at JMU who is looking for something part time. I have a lot of free time in the afternoon and most weekends which I would love to spend my time with your wonderful animals! I currently live in an apartment building but is willing to take them in, take them to dog parks, and go on long walks. I am comfortable and flexible on what I would need to do to ensure the happiness and safety for your pets!

“Kristie helped me out with my puppy while we were painting our house. She was responsive and flexible to accommodate two long walks for Tsuki. I would highly recommend her as a dog walker! Thank you again!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I started with family and progressed to a range of clientele that I passed down to my little brother when I moved away to college. I have taken care of pets as young as 10 weeks to as old as 15 years old. I have taken care of animals with bowel issues as well as specific dietary guidelines. I understand pets as family members with unique needs and I take pride in meeting those needs to make pets feel as comfortable as possible when their family is away I am currently a college student at James Madison University. I have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays leaving Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays free for pet sitting/walking. I take pride of treating pets as my own in the fact of following all regulations left by the owner and comforting the animal when meeting them as I understand boundaries with animals is important to earn trust.

About: I have grown up and have been around dogs all of my life. I have been dog sitting for about 6 years now. I have cared for all ages of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am comfortable with any routines you have for your dogs especially with food preparation. I believe dogs love my walks with them the most and that is what sets me apart from other sitters. Although I know they love their food and attention too. My goal is to give your dog the same care it would receive if its parents where there. I’m a student at Jmu and I currently work at buccees part time on the weekends. So there will be periods of time I will be out of the house but I will be able to care for the dog several times a day everyday. When I dog sit I usually use your house as a home base for as much time with your dog as I can. I care for pets as if they were my own especially being away from home and my dog. So it makes me happy to have pets in my life to care for.

About: Hello! I am a Rockingham County resident and excited to meet any local furry friends! Beyond growing up around cats and dogs, I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the last couple months so decide to come on here to see if I can help anyone else. I currently work from home and have availability to spend time with your pets Monday - Friday and some weekends! Please refer to my availability! I will try to keep that as up to date as possible! With having two cats and a dog I am very comfortable with adding your pet into the mix and I can imagine they will have a great time playing all together. However, all animals are unique and this can bring stress to some. I will try to be as accommodating as possible to the needs of every client whether that is separating the animals in the home or finding different arrangements that make everyone comfortable!

“I’m truly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, attentive care for their pup.”

About: I have been a dog parent for my whole life in which I have administered medication, walked, fed, played with, and of course cuddled, them I have also grown up around cats as well given that most of my girlfriend and friends are cat parents. I can clean litter boxes, food bowls, vomit, etc. I currently am a student at James Madison University, so message me for specific availability during the week. Additionally, I do not have class on Friday, and am mostly available during the morning and mid afternoon. I am willing to come multiple times a day and multiple days a week unless I have a prior engagement. I have a dog of my own, and I care for him the same as I do for other dogs as well. I play fetch, take him on walks, feed him, and of course cuddle. I also, respect his boundaries as I would my client’s pet by giving him space or avoid petting him when he does not want to be bothered!

About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs since I was an early teen. I have been in charge of washing, feeding, walking, and potty training dogs for a while. I have a part time job, and am looking for some flexible work in between hours. I would love to add at least 10 more hours to my week. I can easily crate your pet, take them on long walks, and provide plenty of cuddles. I have always grown up with pets so I am very comfortable completing many tasks.

About: I have always had a dog since I was 8. I have had a disabled dog who could not walk or have control of his bladder, and now I have a 120 lb dog who has all the energy in the world. I have worked in an animal shelter for 2 years and have worked with all kinds of breeds and levels of dogs. I love spending time with dogs and connect with them in a special way. I am a student at James Madison University and am a second semester senior. I am very free and flexible with my schedule especially during the weekdays. On some days I don’t have classes till late afternoon so am free all morning and then later after them. I live in a clean and organized house where there is no potential for dogs to get into things. I have a small yard but not fenced in, but have a dog park right next to my apartment that I would love to use.

About: My family had two aging beagles I helped care for that eventually passed away. They both required much attention and medication. Any time my family members or friends need someone to watch their dog, they ask me. I have experience working with smaller sized dogs and much bigger dogs. I have also worked at a humane society. I’m currently in grad school but I will still have plenty of time to care for your fur babies and will make sure they are happy and healthy! I will make sure they go to the bathroom regularly, make sure they get plenty of exercise/walks, make sure they are well fed, and make sure they are overall safe and comfortable. It is my job to make sure your fur baby is happy! I am a responsible and compassionate care giver and I treat animals like people.

About: Hello! I am Emily and would love to have the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I grew up with dogs and last year rescued my own Plott Hound mix from the Rockingham SPCA. I am a junior at JMU and currently work at All About Paws; I previously worked at Happy Hounds Doggie Daycare. I hope I can help your pets be less lonely throughout the work day or make your life a little easier by offering help walking and taking care of them whenever you need. Hope you have a great day!! :) Pets and pet care is something I am surrounded by constantly. I adopted a dog from a shelter last year and a good amount of my time is spent trying to get him to be less anxious and scared of the world. While not home with him, I am at work, taking care of around 30 dogs and potentially a couple cats every shift. I will do whatever I can to help accommodate for your pets needs! While I can’t bring pets into my apartment due to roommate allergies and my dogs fear of everything, I am more than happy to come to your home as often as possible and spend time with your pets, feeding, exercising, and doing whatever else they need in order to be safe and happy while you’re away.
