“Gouda loved his time with Kendyl! She was responsive and great with sending us updates while he was there. Will absolutely be using Kendyl in the future for dog boarding!”
“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”
“Yzabella took such wonderful care of Marley, and he had a great time with her and her family!! She kept me updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and videos, which was so appreciated and showed how happy and well cared for he was. I’m also incredibly grateful that she was available on such short notice. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly stand out. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet! 🐾”
“Terrific service and communication! Anatoliy sent us pictures almost every day and responded quickly to all my questions. Our dog had an awesome time running around off leash in their fenced in yard!”
“Heather is absolutely amazing! We’ve never left one of our dogs with anyone outside of family and it was so nice to see they had a blast and made themselves feel right at home. She is flexible, quick response time and has plenty of room for our dogs to run and play, also meeting some new friends with their dogs. We will keep our dogs going to Heather anytime we leave town and she is available.”
“Jenesis was so good with Sasha and I felt comfortable with her care of her and grateful for the communication and pictures sent during our time away. I would recommend her highly.”
“Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with. We did an initial visit then she agreed to watch on the spot. April, her dog, is amazing as well. We will definitely go with her again!”
“Jordan was amazing. In her profile she mentions last-minute options & that saved our last minute trip. I'm new to Rover & expected people's availability was accurate but over a dozen people provided bad info. She accepted hours before we dropped our dog with her. She was kind & brought my dog on errands & Starbucks for a pup cup.😂 Her location is super convenient driving from Arlington to 81 on 66. She has a few children that loved playing with Opal. She didn't introduce her dog with ours which is fine. Would definitely reach out again if we go that way.”
“Natasha was amazing with my energetic doodle Saffron. She and her family took great care of her while I was on a work trip and she sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout. Thank you!”
“Rebekah was awesome, she sent a lot of updates which put me at ease knowing our baby was safe. She took her for walks and brushed her hair. I know she enjoyed the huge fenced in yard and met new furry friends which we hope to see again! Thank you for giving excellent safe care to our baby!”

“During my trip, Bella kept me posted about Coffee’s walks and her integration with Bella’s family and the other dogs. Coffee looked very happy and clearly enjoyed spending time with her new buddies, walking and sniffing around the property. Thank you, Bella, for providing such excellent care for my Coffee!”
“Pamela was a pleasure to book with. She is responsive when I reached out with questions, gave regular updates, and gave our pup extra love and playtime with other pup/kitty friends. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Stella had a "meet and greet" with Beth a few days ago, and then when we dropped her off for her first full-day of day care, she ran up to the door eagerly to visit her new friend! Stella had a great day, and Beth was easy to communicate with and accommodating of Stella's special needs.”
“Scott & Sarah made the drop off and pick up super easy, and sent many photos to brighten my day while my pups were in their care. Lots of TLC! We will definitely book with them again next year!”
“Jon and his family were very gracious hosts for our furry family member. He was very thorough in asking about our beagle’s needs and provided all necessities for a successful stay: crate, bed, fenced yard, and lots of play and spoiling! It was comforting knowing that it was more of a retreat for our dog than boarding, and Jon went above and beyond to make things easy and successful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his hands and will be return customers! Thanks!”

“Nikita showed his skills as a dog handler from literally the moment he walked in, greeting the shy dog so skillfully that she happily went right up to him to say hi. He was great with rambunctious Duncan and my very energetic young puppy Holly, managing to keep them playing safely together until they were tired enough to give me a few hours of peace before they recharge their energy. I'll definitely book Nikita again!”

“Katie was fantastic! She spent a lot of time with all 4 cats and even got our shy boy out of hiding - a first. I felt confident that they were getting as much love and care as possible while we were away. I highly recommend Katie.”
“I highly recommend Darian to take care of your pets! I needed someone reliable, and on very short notice, to take care of my precious skittish cat for three weeks. Darian did a wonderful job tending to all my cat's needs, and she accomplished the amazing by quickly getting my suspicious, standoffish cat to allow her to pet her! Darian also went the extra mile of cleaning up the floor several times when my cat coughed up hairballs and had other tummy issues. Darian had not taken care of my pet before, but she stepped in like a pro and took care of her, and kept tabs on my house as well. As I said at first, I highly recommend Darian for your pet!”

I am a stay at home mom of 2 school aged children, so my availability is unlimited. I will be there for you and your pet whenever you need me.

Grooming: I brush fur, clean ears, and trim nails as needed to maintain hygiene and a healthy coat. Health Monitoring: I watch for changes in appetite, behavior, or physical condition and report any concerns to the owner or recommend a vet if necessary. Safe & Comfortable Environment I create a secure, hazard-free space with designated resting areas, pet gates, and soft bedding. I keep the living area clean, regularly cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and maintaining tidiness. For client homes, I check for safety hazards, secure gates, and ensure all pet access points are safe. Enrichment & Socialization I provide a variety of toys, scratching posts, and chew items to encourage natural behaviors. I spend quality time with pets through play, cuddling, and talking to build trust and reduce stress. I may reinforce basic training or good behavior during care. Communication & Consistency I follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to maintain routine and reduce anxiety. For client pets, I give regular updates via text, photos, or video to keep owners informed and reassured. I honor any specific instructions the owner has for care, feeding, or behavior. Special Considerations If I specialize in senior pet care, I provide gentle handling, extra attention, and a calm environment to support their comfort. For boarding or day care, I maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming space with plenty of social interaction.

“Megan is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel extra loved when we are out of town. We hope to continue to use Megan in the future.”
About: I currently have 4 cats whose ages range from 1 to 10 years old, so I have experience caring for cats in many different stages of life. Each of my cats has a completely different personality and different needs, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to make every cat feel comfortable in their own way. Some are playful and energetic, while others are more shy and relaxed, so I understand the importance of respecting boundaries, routines, and comfort levels. Growing up around animals and caring for multiple cats has made me very confident in feeding, playtime, litter box care, giving attention, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets.
About: I’m a firm believer that the Egyptians got it right with cat royalty. I’ve grown up with cats all my life, and I currently own a black and orange duo Salem and Eddie (short for every famous ginger named Edward). I’m not shy to cleaning litter boxes or cats who barely tolerate people, like us, every pet has their own personality and I appreciate a good cattitude!

“If you're looking for someone to take care of your pup like family, Natasha is the one! I was a bit nervous about leaving Sage, as she’s usually timid around new people, but Natasha’s warm and calm demeanor worked magic. Sage warmed up to her quickly and had a fantastic day playing with her dogs and spending time with her family. Natasha kept me in the loop with regular updates and adorable pictures, which completely eased my worries. It's clear she truly loves and understands animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re nervous about leaving your pet with someone, stop right here—Natasha will treat them like her own. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!”
“They were great! Lots of land and friends for summer to place with, she sent pictures showing how much fun summer was having and made sure we weren’t rushing either. Great option if you’re visiting luray, they are north of Harrisonburg so the drive down and back to luray were short. Highly recommended”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have 4 cats and a 4-month-old puppy, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need every single day.

I currently work a flexible part-time job, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week to care for pets and give them the attention they deserve.

I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or older. In a client’s home, I always follow instructions carefully to keep pets on their normal routine and help them feel as stress-free and comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

I will ensure your dog is comfortable and safe, and has plenty of attention! I work from home so am always around to care for your pets! Will have plenty of potty breaks and play time. If I have to step out I can crate your pet or not, whichever you prefer. I have a fenced in yard I work from home so am always around to care for your pets!

“During my trip, Bella kept me posted about Coffee’s walks and her integration with Bella’s family and the other dogs. Coffee looked very happy and clearly enjoyed spending time with her new buddies, walking and sniffing around the property. Thank you, Bella, for providing such excellent care for my Coffee!”
“Pamela was a pleasure to book with. She is responsive when I reached out with questions, gave regular updates, and gave our pup extra love and playtime with other pup/kitty friends. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Stella had a "meet and greet" with Beth a few days ago, and then when we dropped her off for her first full-day of day care, she ran up to the door eagerly to visit her new friend! Stella had a great day, and Beth was easy to communicate with and accommodating of Stella's special needs.”
“Scott & Sarah made the drop off and pick up super easy, and sent many photos to brighten my day while my pups were in their care. Lots of TLC! We will definitely book with them again next year!”
“Jon and his family were very gracious hosts for our furry family member. He was very thorough in asking about our beagle’s needs and provided all necessities for a successful stay: crate, bed, fenced yard, and lots of play and spoiling! It was comforting knowing that it was more of a retreat for our dog than boarding, and Jon went above and beyond to make things easy and successful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his hands and will be return customers! Thanks!”

About: With several years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve built a reputation for reliability, trust, and genuine connection with every dog I meet. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether it’s managing high-energy pups with structured play and exercise, or providing calm, comforting care to senior dogs and those with anxiety. I’m skilled in administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and reading canine body language to ensure safety and comfort at all times. My goal is to not just care for your dog, but to create a safe and enriching environment where they feel truly at home. Pet care has become a natural and meaningful part of my daily routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight stays, I’ve built my schedule around providing consistent, quality care to the pets I work with. I treat each dog as if they were my own—giving them attention, structure, and affection throughout the day. Because I work independently, I have the flexibility to fully commit to my clients and their pets, ensuring they receive the time, patience, and engagement they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am and how I live every day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a home with a lot of space whether they’re staying for the day or overnight. The surrounding area is great for walks, with quiet streets and open spaces for safe, structured exercise. I keep a clean, secure environment and never leave dogs unattended. Whether your pet needs time to run around or just a cozy spot to rest, I make sure they feel right at home while staying safe and cared for at all times. I offer both stay at my house or clients house.
“Sheila and Tim were wonderful! They sent pictures throughout the day, kept us apprised of activities, and made us feel comfortable that our pups were in caring hands. We highly recommend them!”
