“Kendyl and her family were great! She's the first person I've left my 3mo puppy with and I was very nervous. But she kept me updated, gave him ALL the attention and loved him like her own. I highly recommend and will be bringing him back!”
“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!”
“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”
“Sean and Alyssa always take the best care of Banjo! They send me pictures and videos throughout his stay, and I can tell that he has so much fun with them. They take him on walks everyday, to the dog park to play, and they even make treats for him. When I pick him up he is happy and content, and I know that he’s had a great stay. You can tell they are so intentional with the care they provide, I highly reccomend Sean and Alyssa when you need someone safe and reliable to watch your pup!!”
“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!”
“Liana and Anotoliy were great with my goofy dogs. I appreciated their kindness and the genuine love that the whole family shared with our dogs. I absolutely recommend them!”
“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!”
“Natasha was great! I have a senior dog and she had such a good time boarding. I also got lots of pictures which helped me be less anxious about boarding my baby for the first time!”
“Hazzar boarded our cavapoo for 1 week and went above and beyond our expectations. When we came to pick our dog, we could tell she was happy and well-cared for. Communication with Hazzar was easy and quick. She promptly replied to our messages and sent pictures of our dog throughout the week. I would recommend Hazzar to anyone looking for a caring a loving pet sitter.”
“Jonathan met me at the door right on time and Bronco was welcomed by his dogs and they took off to the fully fenced in back yard and he fit right in. He was well taken care of and right on time for pick up. Highly recommend.”
“Beth took care of Griffin while we were out of the country and I could not have asked for better care! Griff is a picky eater, especially when we aren’t around. She cooked special food for him just to encourage him to eat and also was so nice and kind to him when there was a thunderstorm, which he is terrified of. Highly recommend Beth!”
“Mairany was excellent in every way! Great communication, and she made us feel very comfortable that Zoey was in good hands! If we are ever in the area again, we would certainly want to book with Mairany again!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I'm friendly with all kinds of pets, both kitties and doggos, I have a very peaceful home very welcoming to new critters. Plenty of room to run around and exercise. Currently working part-time for the summer, can easily give your fur baby's the attention they need whenever you're busy or out of town. Plenty of space behind the house to get them lots of exercise. Hardwood floors and a big grassy yard with a field behind the house. Very easy to walk super quiet neighborhood. Also have the ability to create your pets if necessary.
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.
“Hannah is a lifesaver! My husband and I had to attend a wedding near Harrisonburg, VA, which was a few hours away from home. We usually travel with our dog, Freya, so had to look for someone who can watch her while we attend the event. We couldn't do a meet and greet with Hannah and her dog days before the wedding since she's far but she took her chances with us. She sent us photos of Freya and she let Freya sleep on her bed, which was really sweet given she's only met Freya that same day. That, plus her calming approach made Freya, and me as a dog mom, feel at ease with her. I will definitely recommend her and use her services again if we come back to the area. Thank you, Hannah!”
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 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: 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.
“Michael was great with our corgi, Bentley, while we were gone for the day. He arrived when we'd asked, spent time with Bentley, & sent photos. I will definitely use Michael again if he's willing!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I could remember . My Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have worked as a pet sitter for 3 years at a dog daycare in VA. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time in the evenings to help look after your pets and give them the affection and care they need I have a huge fenced in yard and a sweet German shepherd who would love to have play dates with your pets ... can't wait to care for your pets
About: I have grown up around animals but also have watched others animals since I was at least 12. I work at an equestrian barn and primarily petsit dogs and cats. I greatly enjoy my time with the animals. Ask for more details! Petsitting fits into my weekly routine so well! Whether it’s popping in for a walk or feed time, boarding, etc., I am dedicated. I have a lot of free time in the summer and during the school year (I’m a teacher), I also find time before and after school to recharge and take care of animals. In my home, I make sure the client and pet are comfortable with the arrangement and altar anything needed within reason. In a client’s home, I will provide care as requested specifically. This will vary, depending on the service.
“Haileigh was absolutely incredible with our cats! She sent detailed notes from each visit and several photos, and made sure our cats were well cared for while we were out of town.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family, friends, and strangers since I was a freshman in high school. No matter the job and tasks required I’ve always been reliable in getting things done! I’m currently in graduate school to become an athletic trainer, so a full-time job doesn’t fit well with my class schedules. I would very much like to fit in some work or pet care between my classes and clinical experience! I’m a quick learner when it comes to new locations, different types of leashes, crates, etc. I’m willing to travel almost anywhere near me and have no problem making several visits a day or staying at the home to care for pets.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I have been a devoted lover and caregiver of dogs and cats since childhood. From having my own pets to caring for those of my neighbors in their absence, my commitment to animal welfare is a fundamental part of who I am. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your puppies! I'm available Monday to Friday from 2:00pm to 11:00pm and weekends only in the evenings from 8:00pm to 12:00pm. I would prefer to take care of your pets in the comfort of their home, where they feel safest and most at ease, or take them for walks in the park, enjoying the fresh air and nature, or even to the beach, where they can run and play freely while soaking up the sun and the sea breeze.

“Tasha was fantastic with our girl and was easy to work with! She communicated well and responded to our questions timely! Our girl came home happy! We’d use Tasha again in a second!”
“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!!”
“Ashley and her family took great care of my dog Layla, she came home exhausted and happy from all the playing! They have a beautiful home, with a large fenced in yard, they have their own dogs so no pup will be bored. Ashley was really friendly, and gave great advice to us since we were from out of town. We visit her area often and now I am so happy to have a reliable sitter. We will be booking again, very soon.”
“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: 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.
“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 !!”
“Laura was great! This was my first time using Rover, and she truly went above and beyond my expectations. She was always quick to respond to my texts, gave great updates, and really seemed to care about my dog while I was away. I highly recommend Laura, and will definitely be using her again in the near future!”
About: Energetic, up and coming dog trainer! I studied for two years at a shop with a dog nutritionist, have apprenticed with a dog trainer for the past year, and just completed a six month program with Highland Canine Dog Training in North Carolina.

I have experience working with all different dog breeds and ages. I have taken courses in dog body language to help navigate communication with our furry friends to know when a little help is needed. I always check in with owners in food restrictions and keep a close eye on every pet I watch to keep everybody out of harms way!
About: I have had over a dozen dogs in my life all different breeds and personalities and I am convinced I am the dog whisperer. I have always had a connection with dogs and they always all seem to know that. I work part time and train so I do have free time to play and take care of dogs and I really enjoy it too I care for them like they are kids always make sure they have been fed and always feel love and attention because that’s what all dogs need
“Rebekah is amazing! She watched my 8 month old puppy while I hiked Old Rag and she totally put my mind at ease while I enjoyed the day! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very quick getting back to me with my last minute booking! She has a fenced in yard for the dogs to play and took her out for a walk. If you’re visiting Shenandoah and need a dog sitter, contact Rebekah!”
About: I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of puppers and needs. From handling dogs with aggression or reactivity issues, to nurturing the boundless energy of puppies through structured play and training, to compassionate care for senior dogs, understanding their unique health concerns and ensuring they remain comfortable and active. Managing multiple dogs simultaneously has taught me the importance of balance, fairness, and individual attention in a group setting. Above all, I am committed to fostering a safe, fun and enriching environment for every dog in my care. I am available for dog walking during weekdays throughout the day, with flexible hours to accommodate various schedules. On Saturdays, my availability is limited, but with advance notice I can make arrangements for morning and sometimes early afternoon walks. Sundays typically have open availability. I'm dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for dogs in my care, and when needed, utilize crates and gates thoughtfully to give them cozy retreats or designated play areas. With a fenced backyard, there's plenty of room for them to romp and explore under my watchful eye. It's all about making sure each dog gets the love, exercise, and mental stimulation they need to thrive and feel right at home.

“Delfin has a great and calming presence around dogs. My 7 mo. BMD is typically reserved when meeting new people, but was on her back begging for belly rubs within minutes. She asked smart questions about my preferences for care/routines. She is friendly, timely, and very professional.”
“Moriah was so great for Walt! Not only did she help fill a need for us with a last minute cancellation, she was so responsive and great with our dog. She gave great feedback after every walk and was so kind. I would definitely hire again and recommend to friends!”

If I come to you we can cater more specifically to your dogs preferences.
“Stacey and her husband were fantastic with Ozzy. He can be a handful at time but she dealt with everything in stride. We were away for over 8 days and felt at ease the entire time. Ozzy also loves to play and her pup was a lot of fun. He really enjoyed her yard and all of the walks as well.”
“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!”
