About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for around three years now. My family has two cats and two dogs that I've helped care for and train since they were young. I also have experience with older animals and their needs since one of my dogs and one of my cats are twelve. I currently don't have any other summer employment, so my schedule is open. I am available mornings, afternoons and late evenings every day of the week and weekends, just not for overnight care. I can stop by throughout the day to feed, play with, and let out animals. I can also do short or long walks with dogs or even cats!

Experience medicating (including injections). I have three cats of my own, as well as two grand-dogs I sometimes care for. I work part-time and volunteer, but have pretty flexible availability.

About: Though I'm new to Rover, I've been pet-sitting for neighbors and friends for 10+ years! I've taken care of dogs, cats, llamas, goats, and more. I've lived my whole life with dogs and cats of all ages, so I'm familiar with puppy/kitten and senior care. I know how to give medications including oral, topical, and injectable. I love animals and I promise to give your pets the same love and compassionate care I give my own! I'm currently working part time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I may be able to accommodate some last-minute requests, especially for drop-ins or dog walking. I live in Greene County, but I commute to Harrisonburg when I'm working so I can potentially take bookings around that area as well. PLEASE NOTE: I cannot hold dates for a pending request indefinitely. If your intention is to book with me, please confirm the booking as soon as you can so I can update my availability accordingly both on Rover and with my other job. Prompt communication is greatly appreciated! I believe it's most ideal for your pet if they can stay in their home environment and keep to their usual routine while you're away. If your dog likes to visit a certain tree on all their walks, or your cat gets a treat at a specific time each day, let me know! Please also share any quirks, anxieties, medical problems, or anything else special about your pet so I can cater to their individual needs.
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. My family has 3 dogs, and for 3 years we fostered special needs dogs from the animal shelter: litters of puppies, sick dogs, pregnant dogs, and dogs with special medical needs. I volunteered as a dog walker at our animal shelter. I worked for a year at a dog boarding facility handling all aspects of dog care: feeding, medication, walks and play, cleaning. I attended puppy socialization and training classes with my own dogs. I am a college sophomore available for summer, weekend and holiday pet sitting in and near Greene County. I can be with your pets overnight from dinner time to after breakfast. I have a flexible part-time daytime job, so can return for daytime potty and visits as needed. I start by understanding your pets daily routine, medical and care needs, and your expectations. I will make a visit to introduce myself before your trip. While you are away, I will send regular updates and ask any questions.

Christina B.Star Sitter
“Christina is a reliable and caring person. She LOVES all animals and treats them with love and kindness. She can be trusted to carryout what you ask her to do in taking care of your pets. She has a cat and dog (her pampered babies). In her back yard she feeds the birds, chipmunks, squirrels and and an occasional deer.”
Madelyn K.
“Look no further, Madelyn Kim is the gem of a person that you want caring for your dogs, cats, humans, yourself- you name it. I've know Madelyn for over 7 years, over that time she has house sat for me watching my cat, puppy - who is now a full grown dog and is entirely obsessed with her, and my home. Madelyn is honest, kind, responsive, timely, responsible, respectful, considerate, and an all around wonderful human being. She cares deeply for all life and treats all creatures, humans included, with the utmost respect. She once house sat for me, watching my 6 month old puppy and elderly cat, for what was supposed to be a long weekend in the winter. When I got snowed in and was unable to return home, Madelyn adjusted her life and stayed at my house, caring for my creatures, gardens, and home, for what ended up being 2 weeks in total. I cannot recommend her highly enough. 10 out of 5 stars.”

Julia H.
“Julia has dog sit for me multiple times. One particular time, she stayed with my dog for a whole week while I was on vacation. She provided exceptional care for my sweet pup. Every day I was gone she would send me pictures and give me updates on how he was doing. My dog gets excited every time he sees her and she makes sure to spend extra time petting him and playing with him outside of her required duties...walking, feeding, etc. I have seen her interact with my dog as well as other animals, and I can tell she genuinely has a love for animals, and animals have a love for her. I would trust her with my dog any day and know that she would go above and beyond. Julia is the first person I ask when I need help with my pup. She is an excellent communicator and is very flexible. I would recommend Julia in a heartbeat, she is wonderful!”

Sam absolutely loves dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. He is caring, responsible, mature and kind.”
