“Jo is a wonderful dog sitter! She cared for our shy rescue Cavalier Maggie who has some PTSD tendencies due to being raised in a puppymill overbreeding environment. Within minutes of arriving, Maggie was going to Jo and getting petted. Jo is attentive and caring. Nice home and fenced yard area. Maggie was well cared for by Jo and Kayla. Received daily pics and updates too. Definitely will hire Jo again and highly recommend her!”

“Highly recommend Brandy and her family they are Great! It’s an awesome feeling to know that my fur babies are being taken care of and loved while I am away. Brandy sends pictures and chats to let me know that my fur babies are having fun too. Thanks Brandy for everything!”
“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!”
“I'm so glad Hazzar was able to take care of my puppy! I had a last-minute booking before my trip, and she was a lifesaver. I have no doubt my dog enjoyed her stay. Hazzar has two dogs, and I'm sure they made great company for her.She also sent frequent updates and the cutest photos, which made me feel less anxious as a first time dog parent and the first time I'd ever left my puppy behind.”
“Here's a review you can use: --- I recently had Joe dog sit for the second time, and once again, I am beyond pleased! I can’t express how grateful I am to have found him. Joe maintains excellent communication throughout the entire process, keeping me updated on how Elsa is doing. He is incredibly conscientious about ensuring she stays mentally stimulated, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear that Elsa has a wonderful time with Joe and his dog, Lilbet. In fact, I honestly believe she didn’t want to leave them when I picked her up! I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Jenesis did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Millie. Jenesis was very prompt in responding to my texts and answered all my questions. I had no hesitations about leaving Millie in her care. Jenesis sent me really nice pictures of Millie several times during her stay, and honestly they are better pictures than the ones I take, lol. I would highly recommend Jenesis for any pet sitting that you need! She is thoughtful, caring and professional.”
“Dev had a great setup for my wild puppies with options to allow them to get their zoomies out. Deb was an experienced dog owner who was able to be patient with my 5 month old pups. She sent updates at all the right times during our trip when we needed them at times we were missing our fur family. I know they are a handful so I am very grateful for Deb's willingness to take on such a crew even after meeting them.”
“Miss Valley had an amazing time with Diane and her family. She enjoyed nice walks with her kids and seemed as though she really enjoyed her time with Diane. Diane communicated daily on how she was doing and sent photos as well. I will definitely be rebooking with Diane again!”
“Midnight was well cared for by Beth, and I would definitely use her again to care for my little family member. She was very reassuring by text and pictures to my nervous inquiries. If Midnight could speak, I'm sure he would tell me he was well fed, well exercised and most importantly, well loved by Beth.”
“Kathryn was great with our 7 month old cavalier mix. You can tell she loves what she does & I immediately felt safe leaving her. I highly recommend her & will be using her going forward for any overnight stays in the future!”
“Kendyl took wonderful care of my Scottish terrier, Fala! I could tell Fala had a wonderful time and was very well taken care of. Also received daily updates and photos. I highly recommend☺️☺️☺️”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, from my first Jack Russell Terrier to a sweet (and feisty) Chihuahua and a lovable Morkie. All of my pets (except for my current Maltese-Yorkie mix, Dolly) have been rescues, so I’m well-versed in understanding the different needs of dogs from all walks of life. Growing up, I also took care of my neighbors’, friends, and family’s cats and dogs, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a variety of animals. I’m passionate about providing personalized care for each pup, whether they’re energetic and playful or need some extra TLC. From feeding and walking to cuddles and training, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you're away. You can count on me to treat your dog just like one of my own, with plenty of attention, affection, and care. Since I work part-time and have weekends off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention and care to your pet. Pet care is a natural part of my day. I prioritize feeding, walking, and playtime, and I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a sweet, friendly dog who can keep yours company—or I can safely crate my dog if your pet prefers solo time. I always follow any special instructions and treat your pet like one of my own. Whether in your home or mine, their safety and comfort come first.
“Sophia was amazing! She was very flexible about drop off and a last-minute booking with only a few days notice. She sent daily pictures and our pup was loved to pieces and had very attentive care. We have used several Rover sitters with positive experiences and Sophia will definitely be our new go-to!!”
“Erin took such great care of Honey. Friendly family. Accepting and fun furries of her own that might just turn into best 4-legged friends. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you Erin!”
“My highly anxious dog had a wonderful vacation! Gloria made him so comfortable he didn’t cry when I left, and he was a happy boy when I got back. Loved the pictures Gloria sent me! It was comforting knowing my baby was in good hands. He’s a rescue that I have had for less than 2 months, so I am beyond grateful for finding such a great last minute board for him.”
“I've booked Stacey now for both boarding and a drop in service and she has been great! She has also been very flexible and understanding with schedule changes. I will definitely continue to book her in the future.”

“Natalie took great care of my kitties while I was gone, including giving medication to one. I got pictures after each of her visits, which was nice. Everything, and everyone, was in good shape when I got home. It's nice to know there's someone I can trust to take care of them when I'm gone.”

“Julia was great! She made everything easy and did exactly what we asked during her visits. She sent us some really sweet photos of our cat Cowpoke, who’s usually shy around strangers but seemed at ease and friendly with her! It was a smooth experience overall. I’d definitely recommend her to other cat owners and would be happy to book with her again!”
“Joseph was quick to respond to requests. He was dependable and provided good care for my cat and fish, including photos and updates each time. I would not hesitate to book his services again.”
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. Taking care of pets fits in just perfectly. I currently have a part time job, but doing pet care on the side definitely helps balance my routine out and get some fresh air from working. In both client/my home, since I’m an early bird, I take them on walks to get them moving and give them time to potty, as I do with my dogs as well. I give them water and food, of course this varies on any directions given by the owner. They do get a lot of playtime and treats for good behavior. I make sure to let them potty at least every 2-3 hours out of habit from my pets.
“Katie is absolutely fantastic to book with! She is truly a professional who knows what she’s doing and cares so much for your furry friends. She took extra care and time to make sure Remi was okay while I was away. She gave amazing updates and always kept me informed on how he was doing. She was so flexible when I needed to make some updates for our booking and just an overall all amazing person! I couldn’t be more thankful for her! We will absolutely be booking with Katie again💗”
About: I’ve taken care of my family dogs as well as my neighbors dogs since I was 11.I have walked large breed dogs that were about 100lbs and have also dealt with reactive dogs.

I understand that pet safety is every owners biggest concern and I can ensure that your pet will be kept safe using my prior knowledge on how to handle cats and dogs.

About: I kind of fell into the dog sitting fun. My mom used to “sit” with every kind of being from baby to dog before it became a popular hustle. Growing up I’ve always helped and learned from her how to care for other’s family members as one’s own. In my spare time, I love to hike and I walk everyday. I'd love to have your companion as a sidekick on these adventures. Or even just enjoy a leisurely walk. Coming into one’s home is an act of trust and a privilege. This is not lost on me. I have every intention of respecting the needs and privacy of my clients.
“We truly appreciate Brandy! We booked very last minute with brandy. Being on vacation we brought our epileptic pup and he wasn’t coping well in a new place being alone. So we downloaded this app for the first time and booked with her while we went out. She responded when I checked on him, and sent me pictures of him while he was with her. We are even booked an extra day with her while we were here because he did so well in her care! Thank you Brandy !!”

About: All my life I've loved and cared for animals. Cats, dogs, goats, chickens, cows, fish, you name it. I've got 20+ years of experience. The past 11 years I've discovered my love for bulldogs. I have a happy family of rescue frenchies, a Great Dane, a kunekune pig, goats and even an African Zebu steer. I have previous experience working in veterinary clinics. In my previous life I was a bloodhound search and rescue handler as well. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, large and small dogs, cats and a variety of other critters as well. I think animals are wonderful souls and I treat them all with respect and love. My life, my little farm, my routine and personal schedule revolve around my dogs and other critters. I work from home so my availability is usually quite flexible. I have a nicely fenced yard where dogs can run and play. If a dog is boarding with me, or in daycare, they will have plenty of playtime throughout the day. When the dogs are done playing and it's time to rest, I have dedicated rooms with comfy crates and playpens. I am very comfortable taking care of senior dogs or those that need a little extra tlc.

“Margaret was the perfect sitter for our little dog, Hattie. From the moment that we arrived to drop off Hattie, Margaret met us with a warm smile and put us right at ease that Hattie will be well taken care of. Margaret updated us with pictures over the afternoon, and when we came to pick up, Hattie was was in a great, happy mood. We have no complaints with the experience, and would gladly leave Hattie with Margaret again.”

She asked meaningful questions about her care (as we are planning on rebooking for house sitting) and was warm and loving toward my dog, giving her praise, treats, and smiles.

“Dev had a great setup for my wild puppies with options to allow them to get their zoomies out. Deb was an experienced dog owner who was able to be patient with my 5 month old pups. She sent updates at all the right times during our trip when we needed them at times we were missing our fur family. I know they are a handful so I am very grateful for Deb's willingness to take on such a crew even after meeting them.”
“Miss Valley had an amazing time with Diane and her family. She enjoyed nice walks with her kids and seemed as though she really enjoyed her time with Diane. Diane communicated daily on how she was doing and sent photos as well. I will definitely be rebooking with Diane again!”
“Midnight was well cared for by Beth, and I would definitely use her again to care for my little family member. She was very reassuring by text and pictures to my nervous inquiries. If Midnight could speak, I'm sure he would tell me he was well fed, well exercised and most importantly, well loved by Beth.”
“Kendyl took wonderful care of my Scottish terrier, Fala! I could tell Fala had a wonderful time and was very well taken care of. Also received daily updates and photos. I highly recommend☺️☺️☺️”
“Sophia was amazing! She was very flexible about drop off and a last-minute booking with only a few days notice. She sent daily pictures and our pup was loved to pieces and had very attentive care. We have used several Rover sitters with positive experiences and Sophia will definitely be our new go-to!!”
“Erin took such great care of Honey. Friendly family. Accepting and fun furries of her own that might just turn into best 4-legged friends. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you Erin!”
“My highly anxious dog had a wonderful vacation! Gloria made him so comfortable he didn’t cry when I left, and he was a happy boy when I got back. Loved the pictures Gloria sent me! It was comforting knowing my baby was in good hands. He’s a rescue that I have had for less than 2 months, so I am beyond grateful for finding such a great last minute board for him.”
“I've booked Stacey now for both boarding and a drop in service and she has been great! She has also been very flexible and understanding with schedule changes. I will definitely continue to book her in the future.”
About: I have grown up with big dogs such as pit bulls and huskies and love them dearly I really love how playful and caring they are. I trained both my family pitties since they were puppies I’m currently only working 30hrs a week can board for you starting Sunday nights till early Wednesday morning have space for animals to play and run I live in a house on a 1 acre property no fences so as long as your dog is properly trained and no risk of them running away I don’t mind letting them roam free if not I can just walk them around on a leash. As for cats same difference I have a back patio to allow them to be in the sun and have fresh air and all the space they deserve
About: I kind of fell into the dog sitting fun. My mom used to “sit” with every kind of being from baby to dog before it became a popular hustle. Growing up I’ve always helped and learned from her how to care for other’s family members as one’s own. In my spare time, I love to hike and I walk everyday. I'd love to have your companion as a sidekick on these adventures. Or even just enjoy a leisurely walk. Coming into one’s home is an act of trust and a privilege. This is not lost on me. I have every intention of respecting the needs and privacy of my clients.
“Rebecca was the best! She was so flexible in meeting me to drop off/pick up my dog, and I could tell that my dog loved spending time with her. She was smiling and wagging her tail when I picked her up and I know she had the best time. She sent photos throughout her stay and kept me in the loop. If I ever need someone to watch Willow again I know who to contact. Thank you!”
“Tiffanie is amazing, and cared for my dogs as if they were her own, she went above and beyond assuring they had a fulfilled wonderful day. I'm looking g forward to Tiffanie taking care of my dogs in the future!”
About: All my life I've loved and cared for animals. Cats, dogs, goats, chickens, cows, fish, you name it. I've got 20+ years of experience. The past 11 years I've discovered my love for bulldogs. I have a happy family of rescue frenchies, a Great Dane, a kunekune pig, goats and even an African Zebu steer. I have previous experience working in veterinary clinics. In my previous life I was a bloodhound search and rescue handler as well. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, large and small dogs, cats and a variety of other critters as well. I think animals are wonderful souls and I treat them all with respect and love. My life, my little farm, my routine and personal schedule revolve around my dogs and other critters. I work from home so my availability is usually quite flexible. I have a nicely fenced yard where dogs can run and play. If a dog is boarding with me, or in daycare, they will have plenty of playtime throughout the day. When the dogs are done playing and it's time to rest, I have dedicated rooms with comfy crates and playpens. I am very comfortable taking care of senior dogs or those that need a little extra tlc.
