Availability

As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I have one class Monday through Friday from 6:00- 8:00 PM, which means I’m available throughout the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. For house sitting, I can also complete my online coursework or Zoom classes from your home, allowing me to spend more time with your pets and provide consistent companionship and supervision. I’m reliable, punctual, and always work around a pet’s normal routine to help them stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Due to my apartment’s no-pet policy, I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes. I am very respectful of each home and make sure it stays clean, organized, and well cared for while you’re away. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine by following all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs you request. I enjoy spending quality time with pets through play, attention, brushing, and exercise, and I can also assist with bathing if requested. I never hesitate to text or call owners if there is an issue or just to provide updates, so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

Information Winter R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet requires any medications, has dietary restrictions, or has any areas of the home that are off-limits. I also appreciate knowing about routines, behaviors, or anything that helps keep your pet comfortable and safe.

A typical day

Take dogs on walks, play catch, provide plenty of attention, follow feeding schedules, brush as needed, and keep them comfortable, active, and happy throughout the day.

Pet care experience

I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since I was around 11, primarily during holidays and summer breaks. I care for both dogs and cats through drop-in visits and overnight stays. My experience includes feeding, walks, playtime, letting pets out, and cleaning litter boxes while keeping pets comfortable in their normal routines. I love taking dogs on walks and giving animals plenty of attention and care. I’m reliable, responsive, and communicate quickly, so pet owners can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

Did an amazing job with our cats! Brought in our mail and packages while we were gone. Really appreciated that she got all 3 cats in the check in pics throughout the week.

Winter is the best dog and cat sitter ever. I never have to worry when she comes over to watch both of my dogs as well as 2 cats! She makes sure to play with each of them and gives them so much love and attention.

She loves dogs! She is a reliable, responsible and loving care giver. My Aussie loved her. She was always excited to see her. That was a great comfort. If my dog wasn't treated right... I'd know by how she responded. My dog needs to be active or she gets into trouble! Nice to see my house in one piece after Winter was in charge. What a relief to know I was leaving my dog in good hands.
