“Svitlana really knows dogs. She walked my dog and sent pics and got to know her quirks quickly. Svitlana also continued with the same house rules we use at home. I will definitely have Pi stay with her again!”
“Hillary provided updates including photos and videos of my pup Daisy at a cadence that kept me worry free but was not excessive. Daisy came home happy and looked well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Hope did a wonderful job taking care of Bella. She has a nice fenced backyard and sent me photo updates of Bella during the week. I felt confident that Bella was in good hands and I would leave her again with Hope.”
“Heather did an amazing job with my rescue girl. I was a nervous wreck leaving her but had to travel for work. My girl settled right in and I got the cutest updates. Heather knows how to deal with my quirky dork of a pup. She was patient with her and made her feel like she was home. My girl is tired and happy. I will definitely use Heather in the future for my boarding needs.”
“We have boarded our dog with Michael and Pam several times now! I’m writing another review because they kept our pup for a longer period of time - 2 weeks while we were on vacation. We would have trusted very few people for this duration of time, and we knew our dog was extremely well taken care of!”
“Jenny was so helpful: she took great care of Connan and sent plenty of pics. He got to run around on her farm and play with her pups. I think he had a great time. He’s wiped!”
“Amanda was great! She was communicative and sent us adorable photos of our boy throughout his stay. Our boy was treated like family and became best friends with her dog. I truly appreciate how much love he received while we were away!”
“We could not be happier with Heather’s care for our dog Bailey. We were nervous to leave him with a stranger because in his 5 years of life, he has only stayed with family. Heather was so kind to let us do a meet and greet a few days beforehand and I could tell immediately that Bailey would be happy. We were away for 8 days and I so appreciated the photos and communication she provided daily. We could tell her entire family gave him attention and he apparently made some good dog friends. We hope Bailey is welcome back because Heather will be the first person I call! Highly recommend”
“Jani and Paul took wonderful care of our pups. They were very attentive to their routines and needs — and sent lots of great pictures every day. We will use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you!!”
“Riley is simply the best dog sitter you can search for. She is conscientious, organized, responsive, and she loves dogs. Her way with dogs is special; she paid attention to our dog for the week we booked, and the entire time we were away, we were at ease knowing our dog was cared for like family. It is without reservation that we give the highest rating for Riley - again, simply the best!”
“Aly was fantastic! My 11-year-old cockapoo Mittens was comfortable with her from the very beginning. She wagged her tail and made herself right at home. Aly kept up informed with adorable pictures, and we would be happy to board Mittens with her again. I'm sure Mittens would love it too!”
“Having to leave your dog is tough but when you leave them with a family like this one, your mind is instantly put at ease! They loved on our girl like she was family and sent us picture updates every day!!! We will 100% book with them again!”
“Ellie had another awesome stay last week. I am so glad to be able to leave my little houndy girl with Katina, who treats her like part of her own family. Thanks! Highly recommended without reservations of any kind. Brian”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with Kathryn while we were states away for 9 days. She sent pictures showing how happy she was while in her care. I truly did not worry about Story AT ALL! She will be the first person I check with every time we are away!”
“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!”
“We were so happy to leave our boy, Denver, with Jesse and Emily. Denver is almost 14 and so giving him the love and attention he’d get as the only dog in the home was really important to us, and not having to worry about him getting stressed out by younger dogs who constantly wanted to play for 6 days. We couldn’t have been happier. Denver was right at home, getting walks that he loves as well as plenty of chill time and attention from Jesse and Emily as well as their two girls. Jesse and Emily were great about sending us photo updates that let us know that Denver was comfy and happy. Denver is a finicky eater especially when not at home and they were great about paying attention and giving some treats here and there to get his appetite going. We would definitely leave Denver with them again!”
“Kahlua seemed to have a fun time with Kara and her family. She got to play in the yard and come in during the hot day. She sent pictures and video updates whoch I always appreciate. I will be reaching out next time I need a sitter😊”

“Megan was great looking after my cat and took initiative to even clean up after my cat made a mess in the litter area. She is thoughtful and proactive when issues occurred. Great sitter, would definitely book with her again.”
“Our cats immediately took to Basil, who clearly adores animals and took fantastic care of our pets while we were out of town. They were communicative & also provided photos after every visit. Will happily rebook!”
“Megan was great and anyone will be lucky to have her help. From the meet and greet through the two consecutive days for drop-ins, we were delighted after meeting her and getting updates while she visited our dog. Megan will be our go to from now on!”
“Dakota took great care of our cat Mochi while we were away! I could relax knowing everything was taken care of. She sent photos every day and was always so responsive to any messages. Thanks Dakota!”
“Caroline was a great sitter! She took great care of our dog while we were at our wedding. She gave us peace of mind about our pup when we had a million other things going on! We would certainly use her services again.”

I work from home allowing my schedule to be pretty flexible, I am happy to offer pick up and drop off services if needed or work around your schedule I have a fully fenced in yard with access to trails and parks, where I enjoy spending as much time outdoors allowing all the pets in home to feel enriched
“Megan stayed with my two kitties for a few days over Christmas. I will 100% be asking her to watch my girls again. She was went above and beyond, sending me pics and updates frequently. She ensured that Lemon and Pepper were cared for. Pepper likes to hide sometimes during mealtimes, but Megan made sure that Pepper didn’t miss a meal, which I so appreciate! I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much again, Megan!”
“Tiffanie was amazing with our dog, Loki. She took him for walks and gave him so much love, he probably didn’t even realize we were gone. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”

About: As a mom of 2 human children and 1 very special needs bulldog, I can promise you I will be patient, caring and attentive when caring for your fur baby. Whether it’s lots of walks or dog parks or ball tossing playtime they need, or just cuddles and hugs if they want to lay low, rest assured your fur baby will receive the same level of care you would give them. My bulldog Nora has been special needs since day one- we say she is “misunderstood”.

“Im so glad I found Bertie and Lisette! They were gracious enough to accommodate my last-minute request and they are clearly pros at this. They were cognizant of keeping paws off the sidewalk in this heat and asked all the important questions. I’m always worried my pup will be sad the whole time I’m gone but her pups and their attentive care kept him smiling. I was so grateful to receive photos and videos while away too. Overall a great experience and I will definitely be back.”
“Svitlana was wonderful! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day and even a video. She has a nice fenced in backyard and her pup was the perfect playmate for my dog. I can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Jani and Paul are amazing sitters for my dog, Lucky! 🐾 I always pick him up from their home and he’s happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. They’re so reliable and thorough and always fill out his report card right away, so I know exactly how his stay went. I really appreciate the care and attention they give him. Highly recommend!”
“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: Hi! I’m Ashley! 🐾 I’m a small-business owner, but I only work two days a week during normal business hours.

“We were visiting the area and needed a sitter in a pinch. Cory responded within minutes and was ready to take Juno in that same day. His house sits in a wonderful wooded area and is perfect for dog walking. He took Juno in, introduced her to his dog and cats, sent pictures, took her for a walk. It was clear he has experience and he and his family genuinely love to take care of dogs! Juno was happy and calm when we picked her up. We were very lucky that we found Cory and definitely highly recommend him!”
“Awesome dog sitter! I was in Charlottesville for an interview, and needed a sitter pretty last minute. Caroline was super responsive, sent me so many cute updates, pictures and videos during the day. Raina had so much fun playing with the other dogs, and I would 100% rebook if I’m in the area in the future. Highly recommend!”

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!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I work remote so I can always be available for your little buddy! I’m a medical student, so I will have to be gone a few hours in the morning, but after that I can cater to any of your animals needs. I get up around 7 AM and head to get around 11:30. I always take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs and get some sun. Whatever you need, I’ll make sure your pet is well loved and appreciated! My house is always very clean and very spacious. I also live right next to a park and go for walks by myself regularly. Whenever I watch my friends animals, I bring my own food and activities and leave the place better than I found it.
“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!!”

“I had a last minute emergency need for a dog walker for a pup that can be afraid of walking near cars, and had never met Caroline before. Unfortunately, I could not arrange for a meetup beforehand. Caroline was accommodating and understanding when Poppy did not want to walk on the second day, so instead she played with her in our yard. Thank you Caroline for filling this massive need for us and removing a big anxiety for us!”

I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.

“Hillary provided updates including photos and videos of my pup Daisy at a cadence that kept me worry free but was not excessive. Daisy came home happy and looked well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Heather did an amazing job with my rescue girl. I was a nervous wreck leaving her but had to travel for work. My girl settled right in and I got the cutest updates. Heather knows how to deal with my quirky dork of a pup. She was patient with her and made her feel like she was home. My girl is tired and happy. I will definitely use Heather in the future for my boarding needs.”
“We have boarded our dog with Michael and Pam several times now! I’m writing another review because they kept our pup for a longer period of time - 2 weeks while we were on vacation. We would have trusted very few people for this duration of time, and we knew our dog was extremely well taken care of!”
“Jenny was so helpful: she took great care of Connan and sent plenty of pics. He got to run around on her farm and play with her pups. I think he had a great time. He’s wiped!”
“Amanda was great! She was communicative and sent us adorable photos of our boy throughout his stay. Our boy was treated like family and became best friends with her dog. I truly appreciate how much love he received while we were away!”
“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.”
“We could not be happier with Heather’s care for our dog Bailey. We were nervous to leave him with a stranger because in his 5 years of life, he has only stayed with family. Heather was so kind to let us do a meet and greet a few days beforehand and I could tell immediately that Bailey would be happy. We were away for 8 days and I so appreciated the photos and communication she provided daily. We could tell her entire family gave him attention and he apparently made some good dog friends. We hope Bailey is welcome back because Heather will be the first person I call! Highly recommend”
“Riley is simply the best dog sitter you can search for. She is conscientious, organized, responsive, and she loves dogs. Her way with dogs is special; she paid attention to our dog for the week we booked, and the entire time we were away, we were at ease knowing our dog was cared for like family. It is without reservation that we give the highest rating for Riley - again, simply the best!”
“Aly was fantastic! My 11-year-old cockapoo Mittens was comfortable with her from the very beginning. She wagged her tail and made herself right at home. Aly kept up informed with adorable pictures, and we would be happy to board Mittens with her again. I'm sure Mittens would love it too!”
“Our doodle had a great visit with Christine and Charles. We received regular updates and pictures on how everything was going. Their location & setup provides everything a pet needs. Looking forward to using their services in the future.”
“Moose had the best stay with Brianne and we feel lucky to have someone as wonderful as her watching him while we were away. She was attentive and wanted to know any specifics for how to best take care of him. We also loved the daily text updates. Will most definitely try to book with her in the future!”
“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!”
“We were so happy to leave our boy, Denver, with Jesse and Emily. Denver is almost 14 and so giving him the love and attention he’d get as the only dog in the home was really important to us, and not having to worry about him getting stressed out by younger dogs who constantly wanted to play for 6 days. We couldn’t have been happier. Denver was right at home, getting walks that he loves as well as plenty of chill time and attention from Jesse and Emily as well as their two girls. Jesse and Emily were great about sending us photo updates that let us know that Denver was comfy and happy. Denver is a finicky eater especially when not at home and they were great about paying attention and giving some treats here and there to get his appetite going. We would definitely leave Denver with them again!”
“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.”
“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 .”
“Kahlua seemed to have a fun time with Kara and her family. She got to play in the yard and come in during the hot day. She sent pictures and video updates whoch I always appreciate. I will be reaching out next time I need a sitter😊”
“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!”
