Pet Sitting in Nethers

“Morgan was excellent taking time to get to know Starbuck, a nine-year old Border Collie that's very sweet and quite sensitive, and make him feel comfortable. He was very happy to see her when she arrived. She listened carefully to all instructions and implemented them on the first booking after our meet and greet. We don't need pet care very often because we have family nearby, but Morgan will be our go-to sitter when ever we do! We recommend her very highly.”

About: I have ample room and time to love on your fur babies!! I currently do not have any dogs but love them all! I also have a basement with a separate gate if your pet needs space by itself. I live close to the mountains so if you want to take the day to hike/explore sperryville I am your go to:) I work from home and love my animals!! I am fortunate to have the flexibility to take care of my farm animals and others when needed. I own a small farm with plenty of space for walking and also have a fenced in garden than I can use during the colder months for secure play for dogs.

“Amanda has been so wonderful with my pets. She takes great care of them and they love the snuggles. She also makes it easy for me to be away so that when I get home the pets are happy and not stressed. Thank you Amanda!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and got my own dog when I was 14. Now there are 3 dogs at my house that I take care of during the day. I am attentive to the behavior of dogs and have a general understanding of it. I currently work at a museum on Monday and Tuesday, and am free any other time during the week. I am also a college student, and will be going back to school in late August. I will go on walks, play games and give your dog plenty of attention. Considering I have three dogs at my house, I am not comfortable bringing a client’s dog to my house in case there is a bad reaction to each other.

“Look no further — and eliminate all worries and concerns about leaving your pet — when seeking the services of a kind, gentle, conscientious, thoughtful, generous and big-time lover of dogs! Rhonda in Culpeper is your first … and only choice! She took such loving care of our Gracie that after our return home she kept wandering around the house, looking for her new friend, Rhonda! Rhonda even took special care to tuck in our parakeets at night. When we found out — late — that a delivery of perishable food was arriving, Rhonda even took the box in, opened it and placed the food items on our freezer. Our care of Gracie was special! Daily reports! Daily photos! Texts! Rhonda is fate-out amazing! She will be our only go-to when looking for someone to care for Gracie. She is special!”

“Alora was great! She was available very last minute to do drop in visits for our 5 kitties. She gave us updates the whole time and spent the time to try and find some of the more shy cats while she was here to make sure they were fed. They all seemed very happy when we got back and we will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I am the owner of Pets and Pastures Pet Care, LLC. I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and fish. Friends and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets while they're away, knowing they'll be in good hands. Currently, I live on a farm with four horses, four dogs, five cats, one pig, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all kinds. I provide services in Castleton, Amissville, Rixeyville, Little Washington, Warrenton, and Culpeper. I am willing to travel to other towns. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in your absence. I offer flexible pet sitting services, including multiple daily drop-ins or full-time, 24/7 care if your pet prefers having company around the clock. I’ll also provide daily photo updates so you can stay connected with your fur baby while you're away. I am negotiable with prices. I'm currently pet and house sitting full-time so I’m likely to be available when you need me. I occasionally manage multiple homes at once, so scheduling is usually not a problem. I carefully follow all instructions when caring for pets to ensure they are comfortable and happy while their owner is away. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind so they can fully enjoy their vacation. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, are well cared for, fed on time, and given any necessary medications.

About: With years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring a well-rounded background that includes: Kennel Assistant Work – Providing daily care, feeding, cleaning, and monitoring of pets in a professional boarding facility. Obedience Training – Offering structured, positive-reinforcement obedience training for dogs of all ages and breeds. AKC Hunt Test Training – Specialized in training retrievers for AKC Hunt Tests, developing skills in marking, retrieving, steadiness, and water work. General Pet Care – Focused on animal wellness, behavior observation, and creating a safe, enriching environment for all pets. Whether it’s basic obedience, advanced field training, or compassionate daily care, I’m committed to treating every animal like my own. I am currently on summer break and will have plenty of time to play with the pups during the day! I am an agriculture teacher so it is nice to keep active during the summer. We have 6 acres for animals to explore along with a Red- Fox Lab training to obtain her Masters in the AKC Hunt Test. We love being active and do lots of training and traveling to different areas for walks, swims and more!

“Farrin was absolutely fantastic!!! She took the time to video chat with us to make us feel reassured about leaving our new puppy. She gave us regular updates and took some amazing photos. Our pup loved her and she made sure we didn’t have to worry about him while we were away.”

About: I love animals. I will take the best care of your pet. I'm fine with handling aggressive ones and bigger dogs too. I've taken care of animals all my life, so you can travel without a worry. Right now I'm open any day and time. I can overnight stay and house sit as well. I'm a fan of cats and other animals too. I'll follow your instructions to the letter. I will always call for questions and not assume something on your property. I'm fine with taking videos and pictures

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. They truly are a man’s bestfriend. At home I have a beautiful white lab, he is 95lbs of pure love thinking he’s a lapdog. I also have a King Charles Cavalier that is the princess of the house. She is so happy and spunky and keeps us all laughing. Previously I have owned Cocker Spaniels, other Labs and a Maltese. I started dogsitting when I was 11 years old. I had just arrived at my grandparents house and I saw this little dog wandering around and he ran right to me and I saw the owner walking towards me up the road. The puppy let me pick him up and we walked all the way to the owner. He and his wife were pilots so whenever they were flying I was working and I was ecstatic to have my first job looking after their two dogs. Through the years I’ve done Bathing, walks, feeding, medications, shots , vet trips, etc. I truly love dogs and seeing them happy, and giving their families peace of mind that their beloved pups will be well loved while they are gone. I send texts and pictures of each visit and keep in communication with the family. If you choose to trust me with your four legged family member I guarantee they will be well taken care of and loved. I am a teacher so I have Summers to offer. My Schedule throughout the school year fills up so book in advance because I also do tutoring, and nannying throughout the week. I would love to meet you and your pup. Just reach out! I will not be able to have any dogs in my home personally because of home owner restrictions. In the clients home I would provide feelings, walks, medication, or whatever else the puppy would need. If there is a history of dogfights or biting I am not the person for you.

About: If you have any questions about my services please reach out to me. I am willing to be as flexible as I can. Since I am in school through Monday - Friday. But I am available all day and all night on the weekends. I have my own pet. He is a rag-doll cat and he requires a lot of attention throughout the day which I love because he is very interactive. I love to cuddle with my pet and any other animals that I can get the opportunity to cuddle and pet. I love playing, walking and just simply hanging out with any pets.

“Amelia took such good care of my kitties! She communicated well, took sweet photos, and was super flexible! She also gave one of my cats his medication. Thanks for taking such good care of my pets :)”

“Dakota did a great job looking after our two cats. She was a real life saver when our last sitter had to drop out last minute. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets of my friends & family. I absolutely love getting to meet new pets & makes sure they’re taken care of and also have fun! I work mornings to early afternoon. I am available after 3 most days and on most weekends! I am flexible and able to adjust based on a client’s need(s). I would treat any dog or cat as my own! I would make sure they have water, food, etc to be properly cared for. I will also treat them as my own with lots of pets :)

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. From housetraining puppies to caring for aging senior dogs, I have experience with a range of personalities/quirks and am very comfortable with large or hyperactive dogs and rescues. My older Beagle has a seizure disorder, so I have experience with caring for pups with medical needs and I can administer medication. I also have 5 years of experience volunteering in a high-volume animal shelter, working predominantly with large dogs, so I understand how animals might behave when they are in a stressful environment and interacting with an unfamiliar person. I strive to provide a stress-free, comforting environment while you are away so please let me know what your pup loves the most! What you can expect: — Time outdoors, playing or on leashed walks — Cuddles and belly rubs — Lots of (approved) treats — Every effort to stick to your pet’s routine and establish clear boundaries! I can provide in-home doggy day care and boarding on Fridays and weekends with a prior meet and greet. Your pup will never be left alone with my dogs when I’m providing doggy day care, but I do require them to be crate-trained for overnight stays. I work full-time during the week but have a very flexible schedule. I can provide morning walks, drop in visits and afternoon playtime before lots of attention in the evening. I can board one to two dogs in my home if they are crate-trained, but a meet and greet is required beforehand. They will not be left alone in my home with my pups unattended. I am available for drop-in visits and some housesitting. I am open to long-term, ongoing schedules as well as flexible, on-the-spot drop-ins. I can provide some services in my own home on Fridays and weekends. I am open to spending as much time as I can with your pup. I enjoy walks, playing outdoors and sticking to their routine as much as possible! I know it can be stressful for pets when their owners are gone so I strive to provide a stress-free experience for your best friend! I will use your standard equipment and follow all directions you provide, especially on walks. I have experience with escape artists and will do everything I can to keep your pup safe. I also am very neat and tidy, will clean up any messes your pet makes and will treat your space with respect.

About: My name is Alexis F. and I have over 15 years experience with dogs. We've had dogs in my family since before I was born but I really started training at the age of 7 with a local 4H club. In my free time I enjoy training animals in agility, obedience, and tracking. I have experience working with intact animals and managing dogs with behavior issues. I feel that every dog can be a good dog if they are set up for success. Every walk we take is considered training and they will be given a chance to use their brain to their fullest potential. During your dogs walks I offer two types of walk options. The first walk I offer is a training walk where we will spend 15 minutes working on heeling and 15 minutes allowing the dog to smell and go potty. I also offer hikes where your dog will be allowed to walk 1-4 miles over varying terrain depending on their fitness level and ability to get along with other animals. We try to follow owners daily routines the best we can when you leave your dog in our care so that transitions from house to house go as smooth as possible. I am well versed in giving medication and injections for dogs and I am happy to board dogs with special needs. I do ask that dogs are reasonably crate trained so that if they need to be left unattended for any amount of time they can remain in a crate for their safety. I am happy to discuss specific needs as far as crating goes. I am currently only working part time hours and am home most of the days. When I am not a home the pets are carefully monitored by camera in a dog safe part of the house. And given different items to keep them busy and enjoying their alone time. Whenever they have been in the crate they can expect a nice long romp around the property to give them ample time to use their nose and get a good run in. I have a fenced in small dog yard and we have a perimeter fence around our entire property allowing an additional level if security. When our on walks we make sure harnesses and collars are fit correctly and if there is a chance of a dog being a flight risk we take extra measures to prevent dogs from slipping out of collars. I am experienced in off leash trained dogs and I am happy to follow any specific instructions for what owners are comfortable allowing their dogs to do.

“Megan is The Best. She did two drop-in visits per day for our two cats for a week. She took great care of the cats in our house. We will definitely use her again in the future. And she is knowledgeable of Verona’s practice and observant and let us when things didn’t look right which I appreciate.”

Dan S.

“Kenzie takes EXCELLENT care of our dog, Luna. Any time we have her she makes sure to let us know what our pet was doing and provided pictures as well.”

Kim R.

“Rachel is truly the best! On the meet n greet, she took the time to make sure my nervous dog was completely comfortable with her. During the visits, she sends lots of pictures and is also great with communicating and scheduling! She is now my regular, go-to dog walker and sitter! Highly recommended her!”
