“Always an amazing experience. My two dogs were loved, pampered and had a great time. Thanks for all you did for Tod and Merle I especially appreciate your willingness to keep Merle at the last minute”
“Bo really seemed to enjoy his time at Reyna's place. It was ideal for him since they have a puppy for him to play with plus their sweet sons who play with him. Reyna sent pictures and updates showing what Bo was doing and how happy he was. He was worn out by the time he came home! I will definitely plan on booking with Reyna again.”
“Lena was the best with our 15 year old chihuahua Sophie. She kept us updated throughout the 2 weeks we boarded with her. Sophie loved it there and would have stayed longer I'm sure. I will definitely use Lena again in the future.”
“Pat has a natural inclination towards outstanding pet care. Everything from a monitor to watch the animals while she steps out to get groceries to sitting in the backyard watching my dog circle around and around and around. She's easy to talk to and plan with. I can't possibly list all the details of her outstanding pet Care.”
“I received photos and videos every day! Both Havoc and Jelly Beans were spoiled!!! Erin was the BIGGEST lifesaver as my original dog sitter backed out a week prior to an Air Force TDY. I cannot thank her enough! ?”
“Shawna was great! After a bad experience with a kennel, we decided to try an in house sitter. From allowing a meet and greet with them before the actual stay to sending pictures and videos every day with updates about how Bella was doing. The dog we picked up was happy, excited and well cared for. We've already rebooked with Shawna for another stay.”
“Maggie was wonderful! She took such great care of our senior Doberman. Our dog enjoyed her walks and personal care in a nice quiet environment. We have already booked our next vacation and our dog will be enjoying her own “vacation “ with Maggie, again!”
“Monika took great care of my dog during an eight day family cruise. My boy had never been away from home for more than a day, but she kept my mind at ease with daily communication and a few photos I will save forever. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She goes above and beyond.”
“Angela took great care of our pups during their stay! She sent videos and pics throughout the day and we felt very confident leaving them with her. They are big dogs but she handled them well. She also came out prior to their stay to meet them so that they would recognize her when we dropped them off. Highly recommend!”
“Lori was incredible. Booked her last minute and she took such good care of our Frenchie. We got so many updates and we could tell he was well loved when we picked him up. Very grateful for wonderful dog sitters like Lori!”
“Just so happy I have a place my pup can go stay when I can’t be with her, Ms. Yu was wonderful! I don’t have a single worry because I know my dog is in the best hands, always!”
“Candie was quick to respond to a very last minute booking. She and her family were so kind and welcomed our dog to her family for a lengthy period of time. Jax had a blast playing and swimming. We received pictures and an update every evening. We will definitely book again!”
“My dogs were all smiles while hanging out with Tiffany and her sweet family! They were clearly well taken care of and loved on throughout their stay - and were probably sad to leave their new friends! Everything was great from the meet and greet through the stay. Tiffany is a great communicator and very friendly. We hope to book again on our next trip! 👍👍”
“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”
“Wynema and family were great. We did an overnight before a longer trip so everyone could meet and make sure keeping our high energy 8mo old puppy was a good fit for all and it was. I’m totally comfortable leaving her for a longer period.”
“Lynn was amazing with my dogs. I have 3 big dogs which can be a bit overwhelming for some, but she never once faltered at taking them into her home and treating them as her own. I received pics daily, they were snuggled daily by her entire family, she bought food toppers so they would eat while I was away and even gave them a toy to bring home. My dogs felt at home and did not come home stressed as they typically do from regular boarding. I will trust her to keep my babies anytime! She went above and beyond, loves animals, and it shows. 10/10 recommend her to baby your babies!!”
“Stephanie was great! She had no problem looking after our 4 needy kids and managing all their complicated medicine and meals. When one had a very messy accident (sorry again) the first night, she was very much more concerned about how he was feeling, as opposed to having any issues with clean up. Their home is very neat and dog-friendly with lots of places for pups to relax as well as easy access in and out to the backyard, which our senior dogs greatly appreciated. I definitely would recommend Stephanie if your pups are looking for a nice quiet place to spend a few days while you're out of town.”

“My cat Harry was very happy with Leah and has requested her to watch him over the holidays! He was well taken care of and Leah also got the Mail for us! She did an outstanding job!”
“Jessica did a great job watching our pups! She was extremely responsive and accountable. Our pups can be a lot to handle, but we knew they were in great hands with Jessica! We would absolutely have her watch them again and would recommend Jessica to anyone.”

“I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dogs! She was an angel. I have big dogs that tend to bark quite a lot and she immediately was able to calm them down and bond with them. Sent numerous photos throughout the entire time we were away and gave plenty of updates. I would not go to anybody else!!”
“Thank you Katirna for the wonderful care you gave to our kitty cat. We appreciated the photos you sent of him and that you even brought a package up to the house that was left at our gate. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pet and give you peace of mind, Katirna is your person!”
“So thankful that Amanda was able to keep a check on our pooch while we explored the Blue Ridge area! Don't hesitate to book with her if you need some pet love for your furry friend. :)”
About: I've always loved taking care of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I truly enjoy making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well loved whether that means feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I spend a lot of time at the dog park with my own dogs, especially my high energy pup who needs plenty of exercise and playtime. I understand how important it is for active dogs to burn off energy in a fun and safe environment, and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. I'm a school photographer, which means I work seasonally and have a pretty flexible schedule for most of the year. This allows me to be available for pet sitting, especially during off-peak months. I’m reliable, love animals, and happy to help care for your pets when you need it! When pet sitting, I prioritize safety by carefully following any instructions you provide, keeping pets in secure environments, and making sure they’re never left unattended in risky situations. I build trust through consistent routines, gentle care, and regular updates to pet parents. I also create a calm, familiar environment by maintaining pets’ daily schedules, offering plenty of affection, and ensuring they feel at home even when you’re away.
“Aaron was excellent. We have 2 cats, one old who is friendly, and the other ex feral who is usually terrified of strangers. There I am visiting family, and I get a video of my "feral" bumping around getting her head & butt scratched! Quite a testament to the kind of person Aaron is. The litterbox was spotless. The cat food dishes were washed and neatly stacked. We will not hesitate to use him again.”
“Nicole was amazing with our daughter’s kitten! She opened her home and heart for him and sent pictures daily. We (especially our daughter) felt so much relief knowing he was being taken care of so well and that helped give us peace of mind during our vacation.”
“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”

About: Hi, I’m Maggie! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I have lived on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and cats, which gave me years of hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. After losing my beloved German Shepherd, I began fostering others through rescues. A journey that’s been both healing and incredibly rewarding. It’s deepened my understanding of different temperaments, training needs, and the importance of patience, structure, and gentle consistency. Whether I’m boarding, house sitting, or stopping in for a visit, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and cared for like family. I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I am currently working almost full time. I can spend evenings with your dog. I am usually gone around 6-8 hours a day at most. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I would only take outside on leash. I have a cat. I can keep the cat separated if needed.
“Esmeralda offered the perfect day care experience for our little morkie, Molly. We were visiting in the Blue Ridge area and had activities planned for two days that would not allow us to bring our pet along. Esmeralda's home was a peaceful retreat in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Our little morkie gets overwhelmed and stressed at boarding facilities. But she was happy and playful when I picked her up each day. Esmeralda sent updates and photos both days and was genuinely happy to see Molly each morning. We will definitely use Esmeralda again when we travel to the Blue Ridge area. We highly recommend her!”
“Louie had a blast with Wynema and her family! Dropoff and pickup were a breeze and Wynema was really great about communicating and coordinating with me. Sent cute pics and kept me updated on his day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect play day for their dog!”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up from cats, dogs to having a pet flying squirrel name Ricky Bobby. I have a genuine heart and a sweet soul and I love animals . My son is in school and I’m a stay at home mom. I have plenty of time on my hands now. I would enjoy having a side job to play with more animals in my life I have two acres of land and plenty of grass to roam around on. I have a fence with a closing gate and I can walk the dogs with as much time needed. They are in good hands !
About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks. I do not have a fence but I have a large pasture as well as lots of leads. I’m willing to walk for hours with your pet on a leash! I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!
“Cooper loves daycare with Reyna and her family! Their large fenced-in yard gives him plenty of space to run and play with their sweet puppy, Maple. He loved being part of their family for the day! Reyna sent me great pictures of him zooming around the yard and relaxing near the boys while they worked on school. He came home happy, tired, and ready for a nap! We’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Max enjoyed his time with Lena. She was very attentive to him and provided him with great care during his visit. This was his first time away from his family, so her kindness was very important. Max made a new friend with Lena's Yorkie, Freddie. Lena sent us a very nice photo of the two new friends. We will definitely contact Lena for future visits to that area. Thank you very much, Lena!”
“Superior experience! ..and communication. Plenty of area to explore and run, much better than a dog park, and typical kennel daycare/boarding. Rhett was pooped out! Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.
“Monika is a friendly and caring person that took care of our fur baby just like she was her own. She sent video updates of our pup throughout the day so we could enjoy our day away without worrying about how things were going.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size. I have 2 dogs of my own. I’m available for visits and walks in the evenings in May. I’ll have week day and weekend availability in June and July. After July, I’ll be available mostly on weekends. I will follow any rules and routines you have set for your pet when visiting and walking your fur baby. I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I’m happy to send photos of pets if requested.
“Chitti had a fun time at Yuwadee’s! She sent us a lot of pictures and we could clearly see he was super happy and excited to be there. Will definitely board Chitti with her again!”
About: Your dog will enjoy their very own private indoor kennel, complete with a cozy bed and a TV for entertainment! We even have a special door leading to their fenced-in outdoor area, so they can roam and play whenever they want. Plus, to keep you in the loop, we send updates throughout the day so you can relax, knowing your furry friend is having a great time! Your pet will have the freedom to come and go as they please through their own doggy door, which leads to a private front porch enclosed by a secure six-foot fence. This safe outdoor space allows your dog to explore and enjoy the fresh air while keeping them protected. The covered porch provides an ideal spot for your furry friend to relax and soak up the sun, making it a perfect retreat for cozy naps throughout the day. Your dog will love having their own special area to lounge and bask in the warmth! Pet owners are responsible for providing their pets with the appropriate food and any necessary medications to ensure their health and well-being. Our kennels prioritize safety above all else, which is why each dog is housed in a secure space surrounded by a privacy fence. This separation prevents any mingling between dogs, creating a calm environment that protects their individual comfort and safety, as well as the safety of our caring family. We take every precaution to create a secure and nurturing environment for all dogs in our care.

“Maggie did a great job walking our two dogs. She is responsive to requests, arrives on time, and our dogs (Husky and Maltese) were comfortable around her.

About: Hi! I’m Wynema with Harvest & Haven Farm. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Our farm is home to chickens, ducks, goats, donkeys, dogs, and more, so your pet will be joining a family that’s used to providing lots of love, attention, and care. When your pet stays with us, they’ll have plenty of room to explore, play, and relax in a peaceful farm setting. I know every animal has a different personality, so I take the time to get to know each one and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to run, cuddle, play, or simply nap in the sunshine, my goal is for them to feel like they’re on their own little vacation. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll care for them the same way I care for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾🌿 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already live and work on our farm. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s what I do every day. Since I’m on the property throughout the day, pets receive frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s extra cuddle time, medication, or a slower pace for senior pets. Because I spend so much of my day outdoors and around animals, your pet will be part of a calm, active environment where they’re treated like one of the family—not just another booking. 🐾🌿 Our entire property is fenced in. Your furrbaby will have 6 acres to explore and play. We also have a separate fenced paddock to separate animals, if need be.

“I really should just pay you for the pictures you take instead of the dog walking! 🤣 they’re hilarious & crack me up! Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby. It brings me so much relief to know she’s having fun and in good hands, while I’m at work.”

Great at bathing dogs, and nail trimming, blow dry and brush Looking to start my own doggy daycare and bathing so open to caring for your family pet anytime. So no matter the time you can schedule I don’t like to create so they have free roam of my place. I do have two dogs but I created a wall so place is set more like duplex so they will not interact.
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life! My husband and lost our beloved Marley and I am looking for doggies to give my love and care to. As a teacher, I am off the month of June and July and my husband coaches so I am looking to fill my days taking care of your baby! During the school year, I teach but still would love to take care of your babies if my schedule fits yours. I don’t have a fenced yard but I have a large yard and I live on a very quiet, no through way street. I love walking so will be happy to be outside with your dog on their leash.

“Always an amazing experience. My two dogs were loved, pampered and had a great time. Thanks for all you did for Tod and Merle I especially appreciate your willingness to keep Merle at the last minute”
“Bo really seemed to enjoy his time at Reyna's place. It was ideal for him since they have a puppy for him to play with plus their sweet sons who play with him. Reyna sent pictures and updates showing what Bo was doing and how happy he was. He was worn out by the time he came home! I will definitely plan on booking with Reyna again.”
“Pat has a natural inclination towards outstanding pet care. Everything from a monitor to watch the animals while she steps out to get groceries to sitting in the backyard watching my dog circle around and around and around. She's easy to talk to and plan with. I can't possibly list all the details of her outstanding pet Care.”
“Maggie was wonderful! She took such great care of our senior Doberman. Our dog enjoyed her walks and personal care in a nice quiet environment. We have already booked our next vacation and our dog will be enjoying her own “vacation “ with Maggie, again!”
“Monika took great care of my dog during an eight day family cruise. My boy had never been away from home for more than a day, but she kept my mind at ease with daily communication and a few photos I will save forever. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She goes above and beyond.”
“Angela took great care of our pups during their stay! She sent videos and pics throughout the day and we felt very confident leaving them with her. They are big dogs but she handled them well. She also came out prior to their stay to meet them so that they would recognize her when we dropped them off. Highly recommend!”
“Just so happy I have a place my pup can go stay when I can’t be with her, Ms. Yu was wonderful! I don’t have a single worry because I know my dog is in the best hands, always!”
“Candie was quick to respond to a very last minute booking. She and her family were so kind and welcomed our dog to her family for a lengthy period of time. Jax had a blast playing and swimming. We received pictures and an update every evening. We will definitely book again!”
“My dogs were all smiles while hanging out with Tiffany and her sweet family! They were clearly well taken care of and loved on throughout their stay - and were probably sad to leave their new friends! Everything was great from the meet and greet through the stay. Tiffany is a great communicator and very friendly. We hope to book again on our next trip! 👍👍”
“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”
“Wynema and family were great. We did an overnight before a longer trip so everyone could meet and make sure keeping our high energy 8mo old puppy was a good fit for all and it was. I’m totally comfortable leaving her for a longer period.”
“Stephanie was great! She had no problem looking after our 4 needy kids and managing all their complicated medicine and meals. When one had a very messy accident (sorry again) the first night, she was very much more concerned about how he was feeling, as opposed to having any issues with clean up. Their home is very neat and dog-friendly with lots of places for pups to relax as well as easy access in and out to the backyard, which our senior dogs greatly appreciated. I definitely would recommend Stephanie if your pups are looking for a nice quiet place to spend a few days while you're out of town.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.
About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks. I do not have a fence but I have a large pasture as well as lots of leads. I’m willing to walk for hours with your pet on a leash! I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!
“Patrisha took great care of Mocha during an unexpected last minute trip out of town. She was very responsive in her texts and sent updates (pics) daily. Mocha seemed to have a great time! Thank you!”
“Lauren and hubby took very good care of our furbaby. They treated him like family and kept us posted with updates and lots of pictures. We will definitely use her again for doggy sitting!”
“Jazmin was so great with our Hershey! She sent pictures several times while we were gone to show us how much fun she was having and put our mind at ease! She was treated like family and we couldn’t be happier with how well she was taken care of while we were away!”
