Dog Walking in Harrisonburg

“Catherine has been taking our large pup on walks a few days per week and it’s been such tail wagging fun! Thanks for the adventures and care, Catherine!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. Whether that be staying overnight watching the animals of family/friends or my own 3 crazy dogs that I grew up with. I love to play with animals and feel a special connection to every single one! I am a full time student so I am able to work with animals in between classes and before and after. Even if that means waking up early I am very committed. I am available on all weekdays and some weekends if specified beforehand! I will provide very personalized care for any pet and love them as my own. Personally I have a cat named Leo in my apartment and I love him more than life, I would want the best of care for him. So that is what I will give to you.

“Ana was great! She took care to get to know our dogs and when our senior got sick during the appointment, she reached out right away and let me know what was going on so I could make the right decisions. Both pups seemed happy and well cared for when we returned. Would absolutely book again!”

“Paula is a wonderful pet sitter! She genuinely loves all animals and treats them with great care. She is extremely responsible and will go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels loved, tended to and safe. She will follow your pet care instructions with precision. I can't recommend Paula highly enough!”

“Everytime Lilly has taken care of my animals, she has done an excellent job. She always shows up on time, and provides a level of care that exceeds all of my expectations. I have never had an issue with her as she is a natural animal lover. I would recommend her to anyone in the community as well as friends or family. Whoever she pet sits for will be lucky to have their animals in her care.”

“Lauren would be a great pet caregiver. She has watched my dogs for me multiple times when I have had to leave town. She loves pets and loves to take care of them.”

“Peyton took care of my yellow lab often, walking Buddy routinely while we were busy. Peyton is a very compassionate and attentive dog lover and would highly recommend her to others in need of dog caring.”

“Megan is a very organized and clean person who will make sure your pet has a safe environment to stay in while you are away. She is very responsible and never forgets her tasks for the day. I would trust her 100% taking care of any of my future pets and know they will be in great loving care.”

“Kat is the most caring, loving, and compassionate person I’ve ever seen with pets. I would trust her to take care of mine any day!”

“Dylan has house-sat/ pet-sat for us for years now. We have several dogs, a couple "garage" cats and even chickens that he's cared for numerous times when we've been away. We also have a good sized garden with multiple raised beds and flower beds during the growing season. We always find the house in good shape upon our return and he does a great job overall taking care of our mini farm. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dylan!”

About: Hi there! I'm Carrie. I have been a pet owner and caretaker for over 15 years! I am experienced in walking, feeding, and otherwise caring for several types of pets. I currently own a cat and a dog, but I can also care for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! My main option here is dog walking, but I can also do drop-in visits as needed. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals and take them for walks. I am available most weekends for drop-in visits, and I will house sit as needed! I will ensure that dogs remain safely leashed during all walks. If the temperature of asphalt is too warm for walks I make sure to stick to grassy areas. I ensure that I know current vet care and contact numbers for emergency situations.

“Can’t say enough wonderful things about Penny! My dog and cat love her! She is very communicative and thorough with updating me on how Meela’s walk went! Penny has walked Meela several times and is even so kind as to put her food (and the cats food) out for them before she leaves. I tend to be the queen of last minute booking requests and Penny is very quick to respond whether she’s available or not (she usually is available). If you’re hesitant about trusting a stranger with your baby- you have nothing to worry about when they’re with Penny!! Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone to walk or care for your fur babies : )”

“Kayla watched my cats and small dog while I was on vacation. She was excellent with communication and sending photos and took great care of my furbabies while I was away! Would definitely recommend and use her in the future.”

“Samantha was great! She communicated very well and left lots of pictures. She was very willing to meet beforehand and tell me about herself and how everything worked. She informed me on her arrival and departure along with the status of my dog. I would definitely book her again!”

About: I have tons of personal experience coming from a dog loving family, and I have also spent time volunteering at local shelters! I will adjust myself to fit your dog’s temperament and personality to ensure the best possible experience for them. I love hiking, walking, playing all types of sports, and I will gladly give your fur babies all of the exercise and cuddles they want. I have 2 dogs of my own, a senior dachshund mix and a Great Dane with anxiety. You can be guaranteed I will love any animal as it’s my own <3 I work 7pm-3am on Saturday, and 6pm-1am Sunday through Tuesday. I have class 9:30am-12:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Aside from that, I am pretty open and I will do my best to fit in walks when needed! I am really comfortable with all dogs and cats, so I have no problem tending to any special needs or those that may just need extra time. My own dog has anxiety and I understand the need for patience, comfort, and love around new people or environments. I’ll be happy to follow any special instructions and/or training habits that you would like for your pets. I tend to carry a treat pouch for the sake of training, distractions, and trust building if that’s something you would be okay with, I of course would not give anything unwanted. I am open to any questions you may have to see if I’m a good fit!

“Jesse has really helped us out with Lucy, and has been able to handle her perfectly. Love his attention to any potential concerns and relay information about her walks. He has also been accommodating when we’ve needed short-notice visits.”

“Julia is a responsible, dependable and compassionate young woman with a natural connection to animals. You're pets are in safe hands with her! Julia has always been a very attentive and communicative caretaker for our pets, and I highly recommend her!”

“Malachi is a careful and kind individual who will put your pet first. He is knowledgeable about the needs of your pet and will properly care for your pet. In addition, he is very respectful, responsible, and always on time.”

“Anna would be a wonderful addition to your staff of pet sitters and dog walkers. She not only loves our four legged friends and spending time with them but she is reliable and can be trusted with a family's pet. She pays attention to detail and will be in tune with the individual needs of each pet. She will be attentive to each animal in her care and will be a reliable employee for your service. I highly recommend Anna Plessing to you.”

“Baylor is a gem! Responsible, prompt and our puppy seems to really like her! We will definitely be repeat clients! Thanks!”
