“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!”


“She is excellent! I highly recommend her for dog sitting. She kept in communication with me throughout the entire dog sitting. She sent me pictures of cuddling with my dogs which I really appreciated. She also took good care of my home while I was gone. She is awesome and I would recommend her to everyone.”


“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.”


About: Welcome to my profile! I have been caring for + rehabilitating animals into thriving health my entire life. Having grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, and wild animals, I understand that our furry friends are members of the family and need the highest level of care possible. I have experience walking and caring for dogs and cats of any size and age. When on walks or caring for pets, I am committed to giving them my undivided attention (no texting and walking!) and treat them as I would my own. Happy to accommodate for animals with special needs. I live on a large property and am able to provide animals with an abundance of exercise, fresh air, and activity! Thorough walks guaranteed. A tired dog is a happy dog! My love and passion for animals transfers into the high quality care I provide. With my experience in rehabilitating unwell animals, I can provide thorough and holistic care + attention towards every need. My intention is to up level their quality of life with my care! I look forward to giving many belly rubs soon! I am an extremely active person and spend many hours outdoors with community. Due to this, animals thrive with me and our weekly fun activities. I am extremely clean, organized, and can offer extraordinary house-sit care, along with attentive and loving care for your animal + plant friends. I can offer consistent exercise for your animal friends, as well.

“Sean took great care of our anxious rescue. She can be a high-strung handful and they got along great! He's a very good communicator and respectful of time and property! Highly recommend.”


About: Hi! My name is Alyssa and I have plenty of experience when it comes to pets! At home in Richmond I have 3 dogs 4 cats , a chameleon and a fish! Looking forward to helping out and spending time with some of y'all's pets!! I currently take online classes through jmu so my availability is pretty open! Weekends work best as I work a few hrs throughout the week but am never gone for more than 3 hrs at a time! My apartment complex is safe and also has a dog park! I live with one other roommate so there is plenty of space and also not too many people around for more shy animals!

“Cameron was an absolute delight! She took wonderful care of my boys and gave great updates! The house was tidy upon my return. She really went the extra mile. I highly recommend Cameron and will definitely be using her again.”


“Kylie was great! She was on time and professional. She cared for our dog like she was her own. She asked all the right questions and sent us updates during the time we were gone!”


“Lydia was FANTASTIC with our anxious pup and two cats! The dog and one of the cats have medical needs and Lydia handled them with expertise. She took the time to find a great walking path to give our dog daily walks since we are new to the area. She was a pro with his anxiety and kept him comfortable the whole time we were gone. We felt so comfortable and were fully able to relax. We highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or house sitter - you won’t find anyone better!”


About: I love animals, especially doggos! I grew up around dogs, and I have been house and dog/cat sitting since I was a teenager (20ish years). I will ensure your animals are cared for, comfortable, and loved! I primarily work remotely, which means I’m usually available during the day to check in, except when I’m staffing events at work. On weekends, I’m quite flexible and can easily check in with our fur babies as often as needed! Unfortunately, I can only provide care, sitting, and walking at your home. My apartment does not allow pets at this time, but I have a flexible schedule!

“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: Hi, I’m Amber! I’m a lifelong animal lover based in Harrisonburg, VA, offering dependable care for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. Whether your pet is a high-energy pup or a calm senior cat, I adapt to their unique needs and routines to keep them happy and stress-free while you're away. I offer dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits—all in your home, where your pet feels safest. I work remotely and is I do need to travel for work it is always in the area and I know in advance, so I’m able to be present and flexible when caring for your pet. My approach is simple: I follow your pet’s usual schedule—walks, meals, meds, naps, even bedtime cuddles—so they feel secure and loved. Your pet is my priority when they’re in my care, and I treat every visit like I’m caring for my own. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your pet! I work from home with a flexible schedule and can usually adjust my day around your pet’s needs. I do travel occasionally, but I always know my plans in advance and won’t take on bookings I can’t fully commit to. Feel free to message me—I'm happy to confirm specific dates or times! I believe pets feel safest and happiest in their own familiar environment, so I provide care exclusively in your home. I’m respectful of your space and always aim to leave things just as I found them—or better. Whether I’m dropping in, walking your dog, or staying overnight, I stick closely to your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable and relaxed. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences, habits, and quirks, and I always prioritize their safety, well-being, and happiness. 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.

Emma H.
“Emma is one of the most caring and selfless people I have ever met in my entire life, and her love for her 3 crazy puppies is so immense. She's extremely responsible when it comes to taking care of them and giving them warm and happy environments where they can receive thousands of hugs everyday. I've actually pet sit for her before and her instructions for taking care of her pups are always so thorough and thought out. She pays such close attention to the needs and specific care instructions for each of her dogs and makes sure that they're all accounted for and given the proper love and care they need. Emma is such a kind and genuinely good human, I would trust her with my life and especially my own dog at home. She has a lot of experience baby sitting as well, and is so great with kids and dogs alike. She's a natural care giver and a natural lover. She'll make sure your puppies get taken care of and have a lot of fun while doing it. She's baby sat and dog sat for as long as I've known her, and she's so passionate about both. I highly recommend Emma if you're looking for a kind soul to take care of your four legged friends. :)”

Daniel O.
“Whenever my family is out of town, Daniel is the one we rely on to take care of our cats. He does all of the basics well: refill the water, food, and scoop the cat litter. But Daniel also has gone above and beyond to meet our cats' unique needs. One cat has a moist food diet only; Daniel comes over multiple times a day to make sure he is fed. We have another cat with severe anxiety. Daniel comes over and spends time with the cats, helping especially the anxious one settle while we are away. Highly recommend.”
