“Deb absolutely did an amazing job with my two mini dachshunds !!! They are the best !!! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure !!! Thank you 🙏 for everything you did for them !!!”
“Kathryn was fabulous! She was attentive to our pup, sent lots of pics of a very happy pooch and was quick responding to my texts! We will definitely be booking with her again!🤗”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend her enough! She watched Otis for 2 nights and treated him like he was her own. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. She sent me lots of updates and photos, which meant so much and made being away from my boy so much easier. You could genuinely tell how much love and attention he was getting the whole time. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly loving with animals, she is absolutely the person to book. I would 100% use her again!”
“Jocelyn did an excellent job of watching our dog. She was very flexible changing dates after our travel plans changed. She also sent regular updates with photos to help us feel better about our dog being taken care of.”
“Dana was amazing and took such good care of Bentley while we were on vacation! She communicated daily and sent us adorable pictures that let us know he was living his best life while we were away. He was very happy and content when he came home. I would 100% recommend her and would use her again the next time we go away.”
“Tiffanie loved my dog, took the best care of him, and I knew that by the way he interacted with her upon my return. She communicated regularly, gave him plenty of exercise and attention, and gave me the reassurance of knowing that he was well taken care of while I was away. I will absolutely rely on her again and would recommend her to everyone!”
“First time Rover user and am so happy. Dogs well taken care of. hosts were lovely people who really made the difference. they sent lots of photos and could tell dogs happy and well cared for in a lovely home. highly recommend.”
“Outstanding person and dog caretaker. Our pup probably had more fun with Amy than at home, and we had zero concerns leaving him for ten days. He came home happy and healthy.”
“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!”
“Cory saved the day by taking Gizmo in ! He was caring, attentive and went beyond the call of duty to wear Gizmo out and relax in their beautiful home in Crozet. The mountain property is Lovely and close enough to town . So grateful to Cory for helping me out last minute and with great care and generosity go Gizmo’s never ending desire to play and play some more . Kudos to Cory and his family for making Gizmo one of their family .”
“Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!”
“My German Shepherd loves coming and staying in this loving home. I highly recommend these folks to care for your dog as my dog hated kennels but loves this place as you can't beat the price and quality of care.”
“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!”
“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!”
“I needed to find someone to watch my two golden retrievers on short notice, which was stressful. Angel was quick to respond to set up a meet and greet, and I immediately felt relieved I found someone I felt I could trust. Angel sent me lots of photos and was quick to respond with updates while I was out of town. Pick up and drop off went smoothly as well. I have zero complaints and will be reaching out to her again the next time I need my dogs boarded. Highly recommend.”

“Sarah was awesome! She took amazing care of my rabbit and was always updating me with his shenanigans. She was a pleasure to have petsit and I would 100% ask for her help again!!”
“Ashley is great! This was our first time leaving our kitten for a short weekend. She was patient and flexible with him, even when he was stubborn about where he wanted to eat. Thank you!”
About: While I am new to pet sitting, I’ve spent my whole life taking care of my own pets as well as pet sitting/ house sitting for family while they’re away. I have experience with animals ranging for dogs, cats, fish and guinea pigs! I have experience with the importance of following routines, giving fresh food and water, cleaning up accidents, giving potty breaks, making sure pets feel safe and comfortable, and since I work in a hospital, recognizing changes in behavior. I understand that different pets have unique needs. My dog Ruby has severe separation anxiety and I provide her comfort, patience, and security during her flare ups. I’m committed to following your instructions closely so your pet receives the same love and care they’re used to at home. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family! I’m currently working 3 days a week Thursday-Saturday as a night shift PCT at a hospital.I will be moving to part-time in August working 2 days a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays), and will have more flexibility! I am only accepting bookings on my days off and I can provide plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day! Whether your pet is more active or laid back I’ll make sure they are comfortable, safe and attended to while you’re away. When caring for your pet I will: - Give adequate potty breaks throughout the day. - Follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. -Keep litter boxes, food bowls, and water bowls clean. -Take your dog on walks (if requested). - Send regular photo and video updates so you know how your pet is doing. -Treat your home with respect by keeping it clean, locking doors and windows, bringing in packages if requested, and following any household instructions you leave. -Most importantly, make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable until you return home!
“Analise is great at communication, follows instructions perfectly, and makes our cat feel very relaxed and special. I'm so glad she made time for us again. Thank you!”
“She was amazing. Tiggy loved her and she took such good care of her. And she took care of me by sending pictures and an update with each message!! Thank you so much.❣️❣️❣️”
“Hailey comes and checks on my 5 year old Lab a couple times a week. She always gives a good recap of the visit and enforces the manners I want from my dog. I will definitely keep rebooking with her!”

“Another great week with Dana! Oakley loves playing with Red and her nephew. Oakley is also being socialized with cats which is a huge plus. Oakley is always happy to be dropped off and tired from all the fun when I pick him up.”
About: Lifelong dog owner with decades of experience caring for dogs both big and small. I work from home and am able to provide maximum companionship and plenty of exercise. Boarders or daycare get 2-3 walks/day, dozens of photos, and lots of love of course! I provide toys, bowls, a dog bed, treats, poop bags and a backup leash. A tired dog is a good dog :) feel free to bring your pet’s crate if you’d like! I grew up with border collies and labs, then rescued my own dogs in adulthood. One of my rescues was a very sick 3-month old puppy that I raised, so I am well-versed with puppy care. I do not currently have pets living in the home, so your dogs will have the run of the place! I own my own home on a quiet circle street. My yard is an expansive quarter acre of grass with access to miles of mowed walking paths off my backyard. When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on a “Welcome Walk” to get acquainted in neutral outdoor space. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I look forward to taking care of your wonderful pets! I work from home, so I am flexible for drop-ins, last-minute needs, or regular walks, and can give your dog consistent companionship…and some fun of course! Rain or shine, I am happy to take them out. I provide a treats (if allowed), a dog bed, bowls, toys and backup leash (but I prefer you bring the leash your dog is familiar with!). Please feel free to bring a crate if you’d like to crate your dog! When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on “Welcome Walk” where we get acquainted in the great outdoors. This allows me to build our bond in neutral space with plenty of positive stimulation for the dogs. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I have used the clicker training method in the past, and do not believe in any form of domineering or physical correction. Your dog will have a stable experience here!
About: I have had animals my whole life! I’m always happy to help friends and family. Life is better with fur babies! Happy to help. I am not working so I am available anytime. I can do drop ins, in home care or at my home. I have two miniature dachshunds that love to play and a beautiful neighborhood for walks. We have gates on our stairs to keep our dogs on one level. I have a crate if needed in my home to keep your dog safe.
“We were so excited to have Jack with Arie and Leigh as one of our first tries with day care as they are so experienced with dogs in general but especially labs. All went very well, great communication and what a wonderful family and property for Jack to play and even had a furry friend! Will plan to use them again and very much recommend.”
“Madison is great. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her care again. My Jaxson can be very nervous without his pet parents but she handled him like a pro and he did seem to enjoy his time with her.”

“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.”
“We dropped Oliver off while we stopped and explored Staunton on a road trip, Sam was super flexible and kind. I felt comfortable leaving him there and would 100% book again if we’re in the area!”
“So happy with this host! Dogs have fun with other dogs. Comfy nap time and even a walk!!! Love the pictures!!! Could not be happier . I used to feel so guilty dropping them off at pet day cares but since I found this rover host I feel not guilt! .”

“Came from out of town for a wedding and found out last minute that our dog could not attend. Cory responded immediately to our last minute request for doggy day care. If not for Cory we would have missed the wedding. He was very friendly and took wonderful care of our Harley, who is very high energy. Cory put my nerves at ease with updates and pics throughout the day. I highly recommend Cory for your pet care needs. Thank you again Cory!”
About: I have been a dog and cat owner/lover/advocate my whole life. I miss having my own pets so much so I pet sit during our travels and while we are home too! I’m a massage therapist and energy worker so animals LOVE my touch and calming presence. I’m very active and love long walks. I’m totally comfortable with large dogs. I have retired early so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to travel to pet sits. I tend to do pet sitting in Florida during the months of January and February. I love having dogs and cats in my home. There is a little river behind my house and the national forest and Sherando Lake Recreation Area is just beyond the river so there’s lots of space for long walks. Pets will get lots of loving care, tons of cuddles, and undivided attention while under my care and I will walk for as long and far as your dog (or cat) wants to.
“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: 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.
“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 have grown up with my family’s Golden Retriever. My husband and I also have a Golden Retriever. I have also fostered and taken care of a few dogs from the SPCA to give them a break from the shelter. I have helped watch friends and family dogs while they are away. My husband and I am available all throughout the week to give your dog all the attention it needs. My husband works from home so your dog will have company throughout the day. We have a fenced in yard that we can let your dog out to run around with our Golden Retriever. We will also take them on nice walks around our neighborhood and on the trail by our house.

About: My approach matches the energy of the animal and meets them on a level they’re ready for! I have spent my whole life taking care of cats, and they have taught me how to respect an animal’s boundaries with patience and compassion. I have petsat for several years now! It is a delight to learn and love every furred friend I have the privilege of taking care of. Safety and trust with your animal is my primary focus. Currently, my schedule is very open, especially during the weekdays! I have a notebook I use to keep track of my schedule and special notes. To take care of anyone animal, I listen to what they tell me, and adjust my behavior based on theirs. I focus on safety, patience, and trust in building a relationship, and I’m happy to start that at whatever distance or level they want to.

“Ripley underwent some big life changes recently. right after i started up a new job with a long commute, she lost her best (dog) buddy, who she was used to spending her days with. all of this meant Ripley was going to be spending 12+ hour days all alone. But then we met Dana, our Rover dog-walker! Now Ripley gets 30-minute adventures 2-3x a week, complete with photo updates and little synopsis of what went down on the walk. Getting the Rover notification, “Ripley’s been picked up for her walk!” is the highlight of my day. She’s in amazing hands, and I’m one grateful, teary-eyed dog mom. This looks and sounds like a Rover ad, but i’m not getting paid for it. I do highly highly recommend Dana - she is in Staunton. If you’re thinking, “my dog isn’t easy- she can’t be walked by just anyone” - that is exactly what i thought. Dana brings her husband on walks, and he can help manage the strength of a giant breed, (Ripley weighs over 100lbs) Also, if you think that your dog is too skittish to be walked by anyone other than you, I thought the same thing. Dana and her husband weren’t afraid of Ripley’s initial reaction to them. They stuck around for about an hour to wait for her to calm down and they gained her trust. They even introduced Ripley to their kids.”
“Katherine is great with Johnny and June! She is professional, prompt, and kind to my pups. They already love her and I have a peaceful mind that she is caring for them. We look forward to our weekly walks and highly recommend her.”
“Jaime was wonderful with Sophie and a pleasure to work with! She found a way to make things work that had at first looked like they might be a stumbling block logistically, and she made Sophie’s walk fun despite the great heat. We all look forward to our next adventures with Jaime!”

“Destiny did very well with my boys and was patient with Marco since he needs some extra TLC due to his past. She has always been punctual and good about giving me updates and keeping me informed. My boys will see her again. She's great!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life of all different kinds. I’ve also helped take care of neighbors and friends dogs over the years. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am off for the summer. I work for Augusta county public schools with kids with special needs. I am available at any time pretty much apart from while we’re at church or lifegroup every other Saturday morning. Very flexible! I am healthy and looking forward to helping serve you and your pet! Looking forward to more walks, pets and cuddles! I have cats I care for every day, feed, clean litter and play/pets. My mom lives with me and has a dog that I help take on walks as well.
About: Hello! My name is Hailey, and I am looking forward to serving you and your fuzzy family members! I am a lifelong pet lover, growing up with at least one dog and two cats in my family home at all times. I have experience dog sitting/cat sitting (both in-home and drop-in) over a number of years. I have cared for many breeds of dogs, ranging from French bulldogs to golden retrievers to mutts. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of varying temperaments and training levels, as well as puppies/kittens, aging dogs/cats, and dogs/cats with chronic illnesses. I am patient and attuned to the needs of every pet I interact with, ensuring that I respect their boundaries and make them as comfortable as possible. Lastly, I will shower them in attention and love! Due to my current jobs/schedules, I am currently unable to provide overnight bookings. However, I am flexible with my work and can check in multiple times a day on pets, including during early mornings and later into the evenings. If you are concerned about whether or not I would be able to complete a booking based on timing, please reach out anyway, and I will work my hardest to accommodate to you and your pet(s)! I have had dogs that both need to be leashed and that are able to be let outside off of a leash. I am able to crate pets if needed. I ensure that water is available at all times and that food is provided per the owners designated feeding schedule. Most importantly, I am willing and able to provide care as the owner would for their own pet. I will always be attentive to a dogs body language and interact accordingly as to not overstep their boundaries. I am also experienced with cats of varying temperaments and socialization levels. I am well-attuned to a cats desires and bids for attention and will always honor their comfortability. If a cat is wanting attention, I will happily provide it. If they are afraid or unsure of whether or not they want interaction with me, I will happily honor that.
About: I love all animals! I don’t have any because of my housing rules so I want to take care of your fur babies to get my animal fix! I am extremely flexible and caring. I take instructions well and am a fast learner. I am very observant, I will care for your home and pet like it was my own. I am also skilled in American Sign Language, as I am hard of hearing, and can teach your pet to respond to signs. I am also quick to respond with text in case of emergencies. I especially love puppies and kittens and am willing to clean up any messes. I am flexible on long term stay rates if you go on several day vacations. Thank you!
About: I've grown up with animals my entire life beginning with Mr. Blue the Himalayan Cat and Kahlua the Black Lab and all of the animals I've loved, worked with, and now become mama to in my adult life. I feel most at ease when I am around animals and consider it an honor to have the opportunity to love them as my own. Regardless of whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer stint. I can most often be found at home. Between kids, fur babies (both mine and others’) I stay pretty busy. I have a Golden Retriever who just turned 7 (though you’d never know he wasn’t still a pup) to play with and keep your baby company. There's space in my home to separate if anyone needs a break and I can easily crate if needed or desired. *Crating is for safety and comfort only, I do not use crating as as discipline. I work from home so there is plenty of room in my schedule for playtime, walks, pet-friendly outings and adventures, cuddles, feeds and/or any other specialized care your friend might require. I have an unfenced yard so any outside play will be leashed or in an enclosure. For additional safety, I keep a few dog crates on hand. They are available for pups that are crate trained, in case I need to separate, or even personal preference! Dogs are den animals so when used correctly, some of them (like ours!) love having a cozy space to relax. *Please note, I never use crates as “punishment” in our home, nor do I believe in or practice discipline of animals. I care for and love every animal the way I’d want my sweet boy loved and cared for.
About: As a child, my family had 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a parakeet. Throughout the years of my childhood, the amount of dogs and cats would go up and down with natural fluctuation from age. During middle school, my family began adding horses to the mix of the family. From middle school into high school, I participated weekly in rodeo competitions with my family and friends. When I was in high school, the parakeet passed from old age. The summer before my freshman year in high school we started acquiring more animals than just the horses we rode, and the pets we took care of. I actively worked with my older sister as she showed sheep, rabbits, and chickens in high school FFA. Throughout my higher education experience I have continued to own cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles, and horses. I have lived with and befriended people who own a variety of reptiles such as pythons, scorpions, lizards, and others. The farm has less types of animals occupying now due to natural causes, but I still maintain a strong love for all spirits out in the pasture and home. I have worked many years at various animal focused businesses such as Tractor Supply and PetCo where I have assisted people with understanding their animal(s) needs and taking care of a multitude of different animals, too. I have pretty flexible availability to administer animal care throughout the week. Easily available between 8AM - 8PM. Can provide care outside of those hours, but within reason and will gladly work with clients and animals as needed. I love to spend time with animals in my care. I am not a drop in and drop out person. I will spend at least the amount of time you request, if not more, with your pet(s) to provide attention, love, exercise, and meet their needs. I am an active participant during outside potty/play time and prefer to follow all rules already in place by family. You will receive a detailed note of all that occurs as well as multiple photos of your animal throughout my stay, unless otherwise specified by yourself.
About: My dog-sitting history is primarily dogs with a variety of health issues and idiosyncrasies. Does your dog have special needs or odd habits? I've got it covered! Normies welcome too. ;) I work full time during the week, so I'm available weekends if you need me during the day or I can lend my services on weekdays evenings/mornings depending on proximity. I'm religious about monitoring doors and making sure everyone is appropriately harnessed/leashed. I have experience administering topical and oral medications and can maintain time-sensitive care schedules.
About: I’ve had experience with helping with puppies and other ages of dogs. I personally have a cat of my own and I’ve had 4 years of experience with cats. I am currently working 35-40 hours a week and I am mostly free in the afternoons and evening. I am completely free on Sundays too! I follow the care instructions outlined by the owner and treat the pets with so much love. I can play with the pets as needed!

“Deb absolutely did an amazing job with my two mini dachshunds !!! They are the best !!! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure !!! Thank you 🙏 for everything you did for them !!!”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend her enough! She watched Otis for 2 nights and treated him like he was her own. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. She sent me lots of updates and photos, which meant so much and made being away from my boy so much easier. You could genuinely tell how much love and attention he was getting the whole time. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly loving with animals, she is absolutely the person to book. I would 100% use her again!”
“Jocelyn did an excellent job of watching our dog. She was very flexible changing dates after our travel plans changed. She also sent regular updates with photos to help us feel better about our dog being taken care of.”
“Dana was amazing and took such good care of Bentley while we were on vacation! She communicated daily and sent us adorable pictures that let us know he was living his best life while we were away. He was very happy and content when he came home. I would 100% recommend her and would use her again the next time we go away.”
“Tiffanie loved my dog, took the best care of him, and I knew that by the way he interacted with her upon my return. She communicated regularly, gave him plenty of exercise and attention, and gave me the reassurance of knowing that he was well taken care of while I was away. I will absolutely rely on her again and would recommend her to everyone!”
“Outstanding person and dog caretaker. Our pup probably had more fun with Amy than at home, and we had zero concerns leaving him for ten days. He came home happy and healthy.”
“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!”
“Cory saved the day by taking Gizmo in ! He was caring, attentive and went beyond the call of duty to wear Gizmo out and relax in their beautiful home in Crozet. The mountain property is Lovely and close enough to town . So grateful to Cory for helping me out last minute and with great care and generosity go Gizmo’s never ending desire to play and play some more . Kudos to Cory and his family for making Gizmo one of their family .”
“Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!”
“My German Shepherd loves coming and staying in this loving home. I highly recommend these folks to care for your dog as my dog hated kennels but loves this place as you can't beat the price and quality of care.”
“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!”
“I needed to find someone to watch my two golden retrievers on short notice, which was stressful. Angel was quick to respond to set up a meet and greet, and I immediately felt relieved I found someone I felt I could trust. Angel sent me lots of photos and was quick to respond with updates while I was out of town. Pick up and drop off went smoothly as well. I have zero complaints and will be reaching out to her again the next time I need my dogs boarded. Highly recommend.”
“Pamela was wonderful! She met our pups before her stay and I could tell immediately that she confident and comfortable around dogs. Our normally hesitant pups wanted all her attention, no questions asked right at hello. Over her stay in our home with our pups she did all the things we would do with them if not more since all her focus was on them for the weekend. I would definitely recommend Pamela to other and would love to have her back again. I came home to happy and content pups.”
About: I love all animals! I don’t have any because of my housing rules so I want to take care of your fur babies to get my animal fix! I am extremely flexible and caring. I take instructions well and am a fast learner. I am very observant, I will care for your home and pet like it was my own. I am also skilled in American Sign Language, as I am hard of hearing, and can teach your pet to respond to signs. I am also quick to respond with text in case of emergencies. I especially love puppies and kittens and am willing to clean up any messes. I am flexible on long term stay rates if you go on several day vacations. Thank you!
“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.”
