“Hillary and her family helped to take care of our pup for a last minute trip to the area. She sent updates and Gwynne enjoyed her time staying here 😊”


“Penny was absolutely amazing. She met us at a medical apt. and took Berkeley for a walk and short visit at her home before meeting us back following g the appointment. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you”


“Hannah is amazing! She's a real dog whisperer. Our pup HATES cats so we were nervous to live him with her because Hannah cares for a number of cats as well. Low and behold, this dog SLEPT in the same bed as a couple of cats and he was completely unfazed. Unreal. Thanks Hannah. Looking forward to booking again soon :)”


“I can’t recommend Jani and Paul enough! They were prompt with communication and flexible in scheduling drop off/pickup times. Birdie seemed to have a blast there and will definitely rebook their services the next time I need it.”


“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old puppy since I got him. He is a pretty anxious dog, which made me an anxious mother. Clayton and Brittany were great; they were unfazed by his quirks, and allowed him space to adjust. Apparently he adjusted just fine; climbing into laps. They have a large fenced yard and two lively dogs; such a fun, busy weekend for my pup! I highly recommend them…”


“Beth is amazing. We were in a tight spot and found her to care for our pup. She made space for us and greeted us at the door. We felt confident that our doggie was safe and well cared for. We will definitely work with Beth again. Thanks Beth!”

“I had told Liliana that Dolly looks like a sad sac when we have left her. Well , the pictures we received the first day had her looking like the happiest dog in the world. The second day had us wondering whether she would want to come home again. While my husband was picking Dolly up this morning my sister called to see whether she had come home and just then she came running through the door,❤️ please please put your mind at ease , there is a home away from home for your dog❤️”


“You cannot ask for a better puppy sitter than Kendyl! She was very communicative and accomidating. I would use her to watch Nash without a second thought.”


“Amanda was great with our puppy, Pampa. We got lots of updates on how she was doing and was very easy to communicate with. Her dog Theo was great with Pampa too, you could tell they had a lot of fun together over her stay. Would definitely recommend Amanda for anyone looking for a dog sitter! We’ll be sure to use her in the future as well.”


“Our pup was well taken care of, and we were updated throughout her stay! ? Joanna was accommodating and flexible when we had to pick our dog up later than expected.”


“I felt like I could trust her to watch my dog, while we went out of town and I didn't have to worry about how he was going to be. She sent picture updates throughout the weekend, She's a quick communicator, and was patient when we had some delays for picking him up!”


“Brandy is amazing! Valley always enjoys herself when she’s over there. Brandy updates constantly and sends photos to you with the updates. She was also very helpful with letting me pick my dog up later than I expected to be in town!”


“Danielle and her crew were great! She was very responsive to my messages and was able to watch my doggo on very short notice. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. If you're ever in Harrisonburg, choose 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.

“She was great with communication and taking care of Togo! He’s usually a little anxious after staying with a sitter, but he was so calm when I picked him up from Francesca!”


“Fala had a blast with Madeline! She looked so happy in all of the pictures that were sent and when we got home she zonked out— meaning she had some good walks and play time! Fala also cried when we got in the car and missed Madeline. Will definitely rebook in the future.”


About: I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, from raising litters of puppies to nursing sick kittens back to health.

Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or cuddles, their needs come first, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Jo B.
“We should be so lucky to have everything in traveling be as easy as having Jo take care of our pup. Jo is amazing. Our dog is a senior and does not like change. She took to Jo immediately. Jo completely understood her personality quirks. Jo is the first person who has taken care of her and she eats everyday we are gone. Jo takes pictures of our pup on every visit which sets our mind at ease. She loves playing ball with Jo and their visits together. My husband and I fully trust Jo with our girl and know that you will also.”
