“Rosie always has fun at Kendyl’s house! Thanks again for your kind and gentle way with Rosie. It’s always a relief to know that Rosie is in good hands when we need a sitter!!”

“Jo is amazing!! She took both Hadley and CeeCee for the long weekend and they were very well taken care of. CeeCee is a little old lady who is very fearful and needy and she looked happy, well fed, well rested and loved in all of the pictures Jo sent! Hadley absolutely loves Jo and Cricket and he also came home happy!”

“Jenesis has watched my dog several times now and he loves staying with her! Bentley and her dog get along really well and they play all day long and tire each other out. My dog has some special food needs and she accommodates those and keeps me updated with how he’s doing. I know Bentley is in great hands when he’s with her”

“Kara and her family were amazing with my husky! They had him for 5 days while we were out of town and I have nothing but great things to say about them. My boy was well taken care of, he was happy and communication was consistent (something I highly appreciated) They took him on walks, played with him and gave him lots of love. We totally recommend her!”

“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❤️”

“Mimi had a great time staying with Hazzar and her friendly pups and family. Hazzar kept me updated with pictures and tips for treats or types of food that Mimi liked while on her "pup vacation" and I felt confident Mimi was in good hands! Highly recommend Hazzar as a caring, reliable pet sitter guaranteed to take care of your pup and any stress you may feel leaving your pup.”

“Danielle was amazing with our cat, Kinako! This was her first time being away from home, but it was very obvious from the pictures and updates that she was in great hands. It was also her first time being around so many other pets, but they were very sweet with her and she seemed surprisingly at ease :) We're excited to book with Danielle again whenever we're out of town!”

“Our dog Jasper loves Brandy! She does a great job if communicating and sending pictures. She's always willing to be flexible and answer questions even after our doggie has left her care! We will continue to have her care for our dog whenever we can't take him with us.”

“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!”


“Alyssa and Sean were so incredible at taking care of our dog! They walked him often, gave him lots of attention, sent us lots of updates and pictures, made him home cooked healthy treats (!), and overall went above and beyond to take care of our pup. He is probably disappointed to be home after having such a good time with them! We would recommend them to anyone and will definitely ask them to care for our dog again in the future!”

About: I have worked in the pet care industry for 12 years as a groomer and pet care technician in a boarding and daycare facility. I grew up on a farm, taking care of all manner of animals, from bunnies to goats and horses. My family rescued and fostered dogs from the time I was a young girl and I have been petsitting since I was a teenager. I love using my pet care skills to help you and your pets feel more comfortable when you are away. I take your pets well being and safety as seriously as if they were my own. In my free time I enjoy teaching my Dachshund tricks, dance moves and dressing him in silly costumes for my Instagram account. If you would like references regarding my professional history in the pet care industry, please ask! I want you to be confident your pets will be in the best hands while you're away.
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 have cared for many pets of friends and family members over the years. Sadly, I had to put my own dog down this fall (13yo Boxer named Neeco) and am looking to get my pup fix through volunteering at the SPCA and pet-sitting/walking, as I am not quite ready to take on another dog just yet. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, but I especially love senior doggos. I currently work part-time as an RN and make my own schedule, so am very flexible in that regard. Available for boarding most weekends Friday-Monday. My yard is unfenced but on a very private road with low traffic. Lots of trails and streams to explore if that is something your fur baby would enjoy! If not, we have a large deck and screened in porch for outdoor lounging, and big comfy couch by the fireplace for them to relax.
“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!”


“Holly is a terrific and experienced dog sitter. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog in her care and was very flexible with pickup/dropoff times. She also sent us pictures to keep us updated. We would book her again if we were in the area.”

“This is Kai’s second time with Tea! She communicates very well and even sends a photo a day of him. Even during pick up she says how he did, and the last time he used the bathroom! Simple but important! I also like that she only cares for one pup at a time! 10/10 recommend!”


“We are extremely pleased with the care Hailey provided for my dog, Milo. She was attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Milo seemed happy and well-looked after when I picked him up. Hailey kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. The place was clean, and Milo had plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend Hailey for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

About: I have six years of hands-on experience caring for cats and have personally owned two cats for the past three years. Through caring for my own cats as well as others, I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with keeping cats happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have experience with feeding and maintaining routines, refreshing food and water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, grooming, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I also understand that every cat has a different personality—some want constant affection while others prefer their independence and need time to warm up to someone new. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable reading a cat’s body language and respecting their boundaries. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and maintain your cat’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your cat is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love while you’re away.

“Casper enjoyed his stay here. There is lots of room for the dogs to explore and have fun. Communication was great from the beginning, and she took great care of my dog while he stayed for day care.”

“Jenesis was amazing! She made sure to take extra care of my pup and make her feel at ease while I was away. She was flexible with my late evening pick up time and even watched my dog longer than I had originally asked/needed her to. Please book with her if you need a sitter!!”

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: Just the 2 of us. Our sweet boy crossed over the rainbow bridge, and while we’re not quite ready to get another dog, we love making new paw friends! We both work from home, and have opposite schedules when leaving the house, so one of us is normally home! It’s a perfect set up for your pups ‘home away from home.’ We take at least 2 walks a day, plus dog parks and car rides! Dogs are free to roam around the house and fenced in yard.
“Valery did a great job watching our 3 dogs earlier this year. She walked them and let them play in an open area which we really appreciated. She seems like a true dog lover. Highly recommend her.”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since birth and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm happy to care for your dog's general wellbeing, as well as to spoil them in your absence! I am a work-from-home High School teacher, so I am available 24/7 to spoil your dog! We have an invisible fence, but I'll leash your dog for backyard adventures. We love hiking and neighborhood walks, which I can schedule for your pet, per your preferences. I have 2 dogs, who can be separated from yours, as needed. I have .5 acres, surrounded by an invisible fence. Leashes are used on all walks and a doggie seat belt will be used in the event that we need to travel by car.
“Brandy did a great job watching our dog Summer for the day! She provided us updates and pics all through the day, providing us extra reassurance that Summer was having a good time and settling in nicely. We will definitely reach out to Brandy again the next time we bring Summer down to Massanutten!”

About: What sets me apart is the warm, lively family environment I provide. As a mom of two, my home is already focused on care, routine, and patience. 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. I approach pet care with a focus on safety, comfort, and meeting each pet’s specific needs, whether they are in my own home or a client’s. Daily Care & Routine Feeding & Hydration: I provide meals at the correct times and in the right portions, following the owner’s or pet’s dietary needs. Fresh water is always available. Exercise & Play: Dogs get regular walks and play sessions; cats and other pets receive interactive play, puzzle toys, and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. 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. By combining consistent routines, attentive care, and a safe, pet-friendly environment, I ensure pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, whether they are in my home or a client’s.
About: I’ve had pets basically my whole life. Dogs, a couple cats, ferrets. I’m dependable and trustworthy and I will treat them as if they were mine. I am and have been a stay at home mom for almost 15 years, and my schedule is really flexible. I look forward to working with you! I will make sure your fur baby is comfortable. We will play, do walks, whatever makes them happy. I am looking forward to meeting them!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m a dog owner myself and have experience raising and caring for puppies, including feeding, bathing, basic training, maintaining routines, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and individual preferences. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or simply wants someone to cuddle with, I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and extended care depending on your pet’s normal routine. I’m also happy to discuss specific scheduling needs and do my best to provide consistency so your pet can maintain the routine they’re accustomed to. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, crate routines, household rules, and any special needs. I pay close attention to behavior and body language and take the time to help pets feel comfortable with me rather than forcing interaction. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pet and their property and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention.

About: I have experience with older dogs, including medically fragile dogs and those with limited mobility. I absolutely love to take long walks with dogs that are able to- and I’m always down for a cuddle sesh :) I am working less than 10 hours a week this summer so I am home full time to hang out with your high energy puppy and high support need kitty! I do not have any other pets in the home and there are few in our apartment complex in general! We have tons of land to roam around on for walks!
“Rebekah was so wonderful with our puppy. She asked us what we needed her to do with him in terms of feeding, sleeping, and potty breaks and then went above and beyond that by making sure he had more than enough outside time, playing with other dogs, and working on training him to sit, stay, lay etc. She also kept us very updated on how our puppy was doing. If we could give Rebekah more stars than five, we would!”
