“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!”


“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!”


“I am very appreciative of Karmy looking after my kitties! She did a very good job and made sure to communicate with me! I think my cats enjoyed having her come by, it definitely put my mind at ease while being gone! I will definitely be using her again!”


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.

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: I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs growing up. I have also had many of my own dogs and have worked with them on crate, walking, and regular obedience training. I’ve cared for different aged dogs from puppies to older dogs. I also have experience with untrained dogs and big and small dogs. I have fostered cats recently and can help out with whatever animals you have. I absolutely love all animals! I am currently still in school so during the week I am still available but my schedule fluctuates. Just let me know ahead of time and I can help out. I am able to provide excellent care for animals as well as tidying up around the home if needed. I will care for them as if they were my own!

“Logan is the best! She took care of my girl and made her super happy. She also offered to come one more time to feed Mollie once she knew my flight was delayed. She's amazing!”


“Lisa thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur babies. I don't trust just anyone to take care of them. They seemed very comfortable with you and that means so much to me. I will definitely recommend and use your services again in the future.”


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 :)


“Stacey was great! I had her drop in twice a day to check on my pups. She kept me updated and sent several pictures and videos of them. She was very accommodating when we had to extend our trip because of the weather. We will definitely be using her services in the future.”


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!

About: Feeding and Nutrition, Exercise and Play, Medication Administration (depending on medication), Cleaning and Hygiene, Socialization, Record Keeping, Client Communication, Technology Proficiency, Pet Sitting, Dog Walking, Pet Proofing I am available at anytime and any day of the week, including weekends! Early morning, late evenings or anything in between. I am able to work with your schedule. I have a hound and we recently moved into a house. I make sure she gets more than 30 minutes of outside exercise a day, I also keep her mentally going with puzzle toys and sometimes I will hide treats in the apartment for her to sniff out and find. She has a daily routine but every now and then I will switch it up to get her thinking. I also just got a new puppy in January and he is a Rottweiler/ German shepherd mix, his name is Whiskey! These two will play from sun up to sun down and are definitely drained by the end of the day

About: I am a nurse in Harrisonburg looking to cure my puppy fever with helping take care of your pups! I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve raised puppies and helped with elderly dogs as well. I currently have an 8 year old pomapoo that I’ve had since she was 6 weeks old, she loves other animals and would do great socializing with your dog if your dog would enjoy that! I also have a 20 month old daughter who is literally obsessed with dogs! I would love to come walk your dog or play fetch then cuddle up on the couch with them for a few while your awhile, I’ll make sure their water and food bowl is full before I leave. I also would love you keep your dog while you are away, I’d let them snuggle on the couch with me and make sure they have atleast one walk a day, leaving you stressful on your days away! I work fulltime as a nurse manager which is Monday-Friday 8a-4p so every weekend and evening I’m off. Normally I take my daughter on a 3 mile walk/run which any dog could join us in that! I have a pomapoo and a toddler who love some dog company. I prefer a dog to be crated while I’m out of the house, but while I’m home they can play all through my apartment and go on walks as frequently as needed.

About: I spent a lot of time with pets( mostly dogs) from taking care of close friends pets. With dogs I found better ways to behave them when they were with me, and considering I would take care of them a lot I managed to teach them tricks. I love spending time with animals of any kind. I had a cat when I was 13 and it was tricky because I got Lenny as an adult I would say. I learned how to manage litter boxes and the right food for both cat and dog. I do a lot of research when it comes to food so I know they have the right nutritions and I’m also skeptical when if comes or bagged food, so I do make my Own at times. I own 2 dogs now, one is a puppy and the other about a year and a half old. I’m also trying to save to go into MTC to study as a veterinarian to spend more time with animals. I have just graduated and it’s hard finding a job. I might as well try going for something that I love to do; spending time with animals. I have a lot of spare time on my hands so I can sit, walk or whatever service you would like me to do. If you have any questions don’t be scared to ask!😊 Even though I do not have a fenced yard, I know places to take dogs to play. I have 2 fur babies that will happily love to play. If you have a certain schedule you would like me to go by then that’s completely fine with me. I have a medium sized crate if they need crating, it will be cleaned before and after it’s used. I will have extra bowls incase anything is forgotten. Along with medicine of any kind you need me to know about. If you have any questions about our environment, I will happily take them. A happy fur baby and parent is the goal!❤️

About: I have raised and trained my own Alaskan Malamute/German Shepherd mixed dog as a wonderful and unforgettable companion. I would love to share my experience and care with your furry companion as well. I work from home so I am glad to offer pet assistance and services often. I can also work from a laptop or my phone so I’m glad to travel and serve as I can. My Alaskan Malamute is an inside/outside dog. He enjoys his time on my front lawn via a simple shock collar and has free roam within my home.

About: I’ve always had pets of all kinds, we’ve rescued many dogs from different situations- elderly, from the spca, special needs and I’ve adopted a few puppies. On top of that I’ve hat cats my whole life. I do gig work so that makes me very flexible; I’m open to unique situations and with little notice I can almost always make it work. I’m happy to play and care for your dog in your home, my goal is to provide the same environment for the least amount of disruption. I personally have had small to large dogs and capable of adjusting to preferences and needs.

A few of them are not friendly with other dogs or leash reactive - she has not had any problems.

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.”
