House Sitting in McGaheysville

“Catherine is amazing. After some recent not so great dog sitters, I was a little nervous. However, Catherine immediately made me feel comfortable when we first met. You can tell she loves what she does! It was such a breath of fresh air being able to go away and know my dog was well cared for! When I got home, Cali was the calmest she has ever been and my house was just like I left it. I kind of didn’t want to leave a review, because I selfishly want Catherine as Cali’s personal sitter! Ha! Cannot recommend enough!!!”

“Kat did an awesome job watching my two boys while petsitting at my house. It almost looked as if Jackson (my dog) was disappointed to see me instead of her when I came home. She even watered my plants which look better than they did when I left. Would highly recommend and will rebook in the future!”

“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our two antisocial pups. She put in the work to build a relationship with each of them and make sure they were comfortable while we were away. She made sure to send frequent updates to calm the nerves of this anxious dog mom. 10/10 recommend Morgan for all of your pet needs.”

“I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!”

“Outstanding! Lydia was conscientious, had great communication, and proved to be very responsible. I will be using her services again and feel so pleased and grateful for the excellent care my pup and home received. I highly recommend Lydia to any potential new client.”

“Sara sat with our older dog Snorkie. She arrived on time and kept me informed throughout the day on how things were going. We felt secure knowing our baby was being cared for. We will definitely use Sara again.”

“Cameron was amazing with our 2 Great Danes and cat! She took them to the dog park and on lots of walks! Lots of pictures were shared and we came back to healthy, happy animals!”

“Abigail is attentive, warm and friendly. She asked the right questions about Ripley, our 11 year old Shichon, and our home where she will home sit. Ripley is very cautious and over protective. But when she met Abigail for the first time, she immediately warmed up to her. We will rebook with Abigail again!”

About: As a true animal lover who misses her pets while away at school, I’m excited to offer hands-on care for a wide range of animal companions. I’ve raised cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens, and I also work closely with the animal lab at the Science Museum of Virginia in my hometown of Richmond. There, I care for reptiles, amphibians, fish, and even arachnids, giving me both the compassion and confidence to care for exotic pets of all kinds. I’m a full time student at JMU, with classes M-Th, I am offering all day/as needed care on weekends starting Friday after 1pm. I am open to drop-ins and walks after 6pm weekdays, except Tuesday. Being that I’m a student, I do not offer pet care from my home, however I always have a mindful approach to offering in-home pet care for clients. Don’t hesitate to communicate concerns or boundaries regarding

“I'm almost afraid to leave an honest review. BECAUSE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOOK HIM AGAIN! And I don't want him to be too busy. He did a wonderful job with our dog and our house. Saxon got all the exercise he needed, then apparently slept the afternoon away. Our home looked exactly how we left it. Maybe even better. Finn came for a meet and greet with Saxon and asked great questions about what Saxon likes and does not do, or should no do. We were very pleased and would definitely book him again.”

You can count on regular updates, photos, and honest communication while you’re away, so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.

“Logan was everything we could ask for in a sitter. Communicative, responsible, and goes above and beyond expectations. I could tell as soon as she walked in that she loved dogs and vice versa. I know our pups will miss her, but I foresee using her services again for sure. A purely positive experience, start to finish.”

“Amanda was wonderful. She was gracious and patient, especially with a puppy teenager with high anxiety. An excellent communicator. I loved how she worked to connect and help the dogs feel comfortable and at home. Would absolutely recommend!”
