About: 5 Acres, Pool, Large PRIVATE HOME PROVIDING POOCH PAMPERING SECOND TO NONE. Dog boarding, pet taxi, walking or house sitting I do it ALL!! I have over 20 years experience with all sizes and breeds, serving Franklin, Clarke & Western Loudoun Counties in Virginia and Innwood WV. Give your baby a luxury vacation while you are away, a great day-care experience while you work or shop or I’m happy to care for your pet in their own home. Pet taxi service to/from my house, to your vet or groomer is also one of our services. Schedule a meet and greet to come see for yourself. WHY I LOVE DOG SITTING My parents raised Collie's and my first dog was Lady, I was 18 months old! So I have always had dogs, a house just isn't a home without a pup! I have owned, fostered and rescued dogs all my life. I have experience with all breeds, from Great Danes to Yorkies, I have done it! I love dogs, pamper them but give them the boundaries that make them feel secure. SERVICE AREA I am located in a large home with a pool and fenced in backyard in Clear Brook Virginia serving Winchester, Purcellville, Round Hill, Berryville, Bluemont, Hillsboro, Lovettesville and the surrounding areas. We can arrange pet taxi service to/from our home at an extra charge. CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION I’m happy to provide many references from past clients, give a phone and/or in person interview. All boarding clients must complete a meet & greet prior to booking. MEDICATION AND SPECIAL ATTENTION I am trained in administering oral medications and injections. Pet care is my full time profession, I’ve dedicated the past 20 years to watching clients pups so they can work, vacation or travel without their fur babies suffering from separation anxiety, or stress. I have unparalleled experience providing love & attention to my boarders, keeping them happy & safe overnight (or longer) while their family is away. Our pet taxi service can come pick up your baby to start their stay with us or provide excellent transport if your pup has an appointment at the vet or the spa.

“Courtney watched my two cats and was amazing with them! She’s very communicative and detail oriented. The pictures and updates gave me peace of mind while away. She spent plenty of time playing with them, showered them with treats, and was always prompt with their feeding times. Would definitely book her again!”

“Abby is fabulous. She was very communicative through both the Rover cards (I always got multiple photos and a story of her visit!) and texting through the app. My orange cat can be overly affectionate and climbs all over people, and Abby just embraced all his crazy antics. I’m glad she was there to pamper my cat and I will definitely book again! Thank you Abby! 😊🐈”

About: I work full time at Shenandoah University and am joining Rover to formalize my side hustle, which Ive largely managed through word of mouth thus far. I’ve lived with dogs for about 25 of my 30 years of life - mostly hounds (most recently 2 bassets). And I’ve watched dogs of all sizes, the smallest being a chihuahua mix and the largest a Great Dane. Over the last 5 years or so, I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and connections in the Winchester area. All animals are different and I respect you, their owner, to tell me what’s best for your furry friend. I also will be transparent and over communicate with you so we both can be confident your animals have everything they need. I’m comfortable dispensing medication - including to the really picky ones (I can take a pill/pill pocket and sculpt it pretty much exactly the same shape and size as any mainstream kibble brand). I have experience with puppies and with our senior citizens, who both just need a little extra care and attention. I feel comfortable listening to animals and getting to know their personalities, which are all so different yet equally endearing. If they are trying to say something, though, I feel pretty confident I will notice it - especially after we’ve spent a few hours together. And, if they’re trying to say something and I don’t understand? I’ll reach out just to make sure. I just really, really love animals. I most often watch dogs but have also cared for cats, lizards, bunnies, chickens, and horses (although horses were largely just feeding and brushing/attention). I also have a rescue cat of my own, Luna, who has made me certain I’m equally a dog person AND a cat person. I work 9-5 M-F, and occasionally am tied up on weekends with happenings on campus. I can take an hour lunch (and flex a bit beyond if necessary) to visit the animals for attention and potty breaks. I am single, sober, and genuinely grateful for the work and the company. Animals have so much love to give, and i try to reciprocate that love indiscriminately. Thanks for your consideration and please let me know if I can answer any questions, hop on a zoom call, or speak to any specific needs you find important. No request is too small and I’m grateful for any and all details I can use to keep your animals feeling secure, loved, and cared for in your absence. I work full time at Shenandoah University as an Administrative Assistant in the Office of Global Engagement. My role is in-person on the main campus in Winchester. My routine hours are 9-5 with an hour lunch around 12 or 1. But, there’s a lot of flexibility, especially over the summer when the students are back home. My team is small and I am able to shift my hours when I communicate with them in advance (I.e. I’ll take 2 hours midday but clock in at 8, etc). Outside of work, my schedule largely centers around community and service work. I’m really involved with the recovery community and attend several meetings and events a week, although I can be flexible there too. Most days I’m up no later than 7 am and asleep by 11. But all these things can flex, depending on your and your pets needs. I live alone with a stray-turned-adopted cat named Luna. My place has a small fenced area in the back, enough room for a pup to potty but not much more. But I’m also about a half a mile from Jim Barnett Park and I love their walking trails and their dog park. I’d prefer to house sit at your house, but I’m open to certain scenarios if I can ensure your animal is comfortable in my space. Let’s talk about the details!

About: I took care of my neighbors dogs while she was away. I've house sat before and I enjoy long and or short walks with any dog! I'm home from school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to walk and over house sit! I'm free in the mornings and afternoon, 7 days a week. I can walk your dog as far as you would like and will spend as much time with your dog as necessary! I enjoy staying active and don't mind taking your dog for runs as well! For cats I love being with them and keeping them company, while feeding and providing clean up.

About: I have been dog sitting/ walking for several years. The most dogs I have handled at 1 time was 3. I own 2 small dogs myself how ever I have experience handling big dogs as well. I have experience administering medication. I work 4 days on 3 days off so I would love to provide care for your animals on the days I have off! I'm more than happy to help! I can take your dog on daily walks, I love hiking can take a well trained dog with me! i trained my own to go with me, they're great both on and off the leash. I love any and all dogs and would love to give yours pets and attention.

“Adriene sent me pictures and videos throughout the stay. Communication was frequent and clear and my Sophie was doing great when I went back home. She took good care of the house as well. Overall great experience!”

“Hana was reliable, and Buddy looked forward to seeing her.”

“Aly was so communicative and took extra care to interact and snuggle with our cats. We really appreciated her willingness to sit for us last minute and enjoyed our trip knowing she was updating us with pictures of her sleepovers with our girls and Pookie. She was able to administer insulin for our diabetic cat and ensure her dietary needs were met. We were so lucky to find her!”
