Pet Sitting in Star Tannery

About: I have been pet sitting for about 10 years, caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors—and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do. I’m currently available for pet sitting Monday through Friday until 4:00 PM. During the summer, my schedule is more flexible, which allows me to accommodate additional visits and varying care needs. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, feeding, playtime, a walk, medication, companionship, or just a friendly drop-in visit, I’m happy to help. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that fits your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and special care instructions.

About: I have had dogs all my life and have always had the responsibilities to look after them. I have been around bigger dogs as well as smaller dogs and very familiar with senior care. I work full time but with a flexible schedule and a husband who works odd hours so I can be very flexible with times and dates! I am willing to travel within reasonable distance to look after your animals with reasonable notice. I do understand last minute things can happen as well.

About: I have taken care of different types of animals my entire life. I grew up around pitbulls and other big animals so i am very comfortable and know how to handle tricky situations. I am currently a canine coach. At the moment i currently work at strategic paws boarding on saturday, sunday- 10am~6:30pm. on wednesday, thursday-3:30pm to 6:30 pm. If your needs align with my schedule i would be more than happy to take care of your pets needs. I have a huge fenced in yard and a small dog that is very sweet to other dogs. I also have chickens, they do have their own coop but they only sleep in there so they are all in the same yard. If you choose to board with me, your furry friend will feel very comfortable and will be well taken care of.

“We had an amazing experience with Darian! She did a phenomenal job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. We felt reassured from the moment we left knowing they were in good hands. She went above and beyond—keeping us updated with photos and messages, ensuring they stuck to their routines, and showing them so much love and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared for our pups, and we returned to find them happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for better care, and we will absolutely book her again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐾”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I genuinely love being around pets and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, outdoor playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having calm companionship, I’m happy to match their needs and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention and affection they deserve. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have a more flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship to the pets I care for. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and love making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available throughout the day and always aim to provide pets with a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m very attentive when it comes to following feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, crate schedules, and any extra instructions or preferences owners may have outside of basic care needs. In my own home, I make sure pets have plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and opportunities to feel relaxed and comfortable. I also keep multiple leash sizes available to safely accommodate different dogs and walking needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines while making sure pets receive consistent care, affection, exercise, and companionship. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away.

“This was the second time I’ve had Katie check on my three cats while I was away and just like last time, she was absolutely amazing! She even threw a birthday party for my two girls, who share a birthday on July 4th. I am so beyond grateful to have found a pet sitter that has such a genuine heart for animals and gives the absolute best care. I will absolutely be booking Katie every single time I need someone to check on my babies! You can trust that she will give your pet(s) the best care and love while you are away. Thank you again, Katie! My cats will certainly be happy to see you again (especially Meejum lol)”

About: **I am currently unable to do house sitting/overnights. I am sometimes available for drops ins and almost always for dog walks so please don’t hesitate to still reach out! :) ** IG: @ pawsandclaws_petcare 🐶🐱** I have cared for dogs and other animals many times and have house sat to care for dogs, cats, and even lizards! I have three dogs myself, all sizes. I have a frenchie, a golden retriever, and an American bully! I lost my beloved shihtzu a few years, who I miss so much. I love all dogs any shape and size! I truly care about the well being of your animals and I am very passionate about animals getting the care and attention they deserve. I will take care of your animals the same way I take care of my own fur babies! Please feel free to message me for any questions and details! :) I do work a full time job, but have extra time on certain days and most evenings and weekends. I would NOT take a job unless I knew 100% I could fully take care of the animals needs and am able commit to whatever you may be looking for! I have a large fenced in yard and three dog friendly dogs who love to play and are all UTD on vaccines. If I come to your home, I will make sure your animals are let out, fed, walked if needed and of course (most importantly) get some lovin’s and snuggles while I’m there! :) I update every client I have had with photos and videos of their animal(s)!

About: I have always had a full house of pets all ages and sizes, and years of experience with farm animals too. My husband and I adopt those in need, and I pretty much married Ace Ventura. We take care of friends and family's pets and farm animals whenever needed. I work from home. My husband does too. We drive to Winchester at least 2 times a day to drop off and pickup our kids from school. We can pretty much work out a schedule that works for you. We have cats and dogs, and a large 2 story home with live in attic. Our dogs are trained to sleep freely and roam our property off leash. But we have large crates (not wire) if needed, and we walk on leashes any pets we care for every couple of hours.

“Meet and greet. So wonderful to meet Jennifer. She was very quick to understand things. I’m so grateful to have someone to call on for various visits for our pets. Thank you for your time today Jennifer.”

“Courtney was excellent with our 2 cats. Our shy boy warmed up to her very quickly, which is rare. She also took great care of our elderly girl, including giving insulin injections. We look forward to booking with her again next time we go out of town.”

“Megan is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel extra loved when we are out of town. We hope to continue to use Megan in the future.”

About: I worked at a reputable kennel for a year in cat and dog walking, grooming, basic training, and health. I've also worked with many other pets throughout my life. I currently work mornings and I may have some small events certain days, but I am willing to work around it. Bookings at least three days in advance will be the only ones I accept unless stated otherwise. I cannot bring dogs or cats back to my home due to allergies of family members, but I can do anything outside my home or in yours. Whatever I can do to keep your pets happy is my pleasure.

“Nikita showed his skills as a dog handler from literally the moment he walked in, greeting the shy dog so skillfully that she happily went right up to him to say hi. He was great with rambunctious Duncan and my very energetic young puppy Holly, managing to keep them playing safely together until they were tired enough to give me a few hours of peace before they recharge their energy. I'll definitely book Nikita again!”

“Sherry was amazing! We decided to go on a last minute trip and she met with us the night before we left. She was so nice and a joy to be around so we knew Charlie would love her! This was our first time leaving him but we were reassured by her personality. She did everything we wanted and more. We can't thank her enough and we highly recommend her! We will definitely use her services in the future!”

“Anna was great, very communicative and supportive. I appreciated all of the pictures she shared and knew my cat was in good hands, all was with him and my home well when I returned.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and got into dog training 2 years ago. I assisted a dog training company with the dogs they would board and care for, and assisted with multiple training outings. I also raised and trained my own service animal. I’m currently working part time, and will focus solely on providing care for your pet and home. They are my number one priority and love to do things with them. I will take them on long walks and do training with them to get their brain going. I’ll make sure their meals are extra tasty and made with love.

“She provided an update and photos after the visit. Took good care of my pets when I was out of town.”

About: Hi! My name is Kimberly, I am a full time registered nurse with a lot of flexibility in my schedule to assist you with your pets needs while you are away! Since I have multiple days off a week I am able to work my schedule around the needs of your pets (babies!). I currently have three dogs, although, I have also owned and loved rabbits, hamsters, cats, ferrets, and fish. I am open to caring for any animal (expect spiders, sorry!!!) that you have. I can administer any medications needed. I currently have a fully blind hound dog with glaucoma that is also a diabetic requiring insulin injections along with oral medication and eye drops. Our beloved Bullmastiff, whom passed away in 2024 was epileptic and required 12 pills a day along with as needed rectal seizure meds so I am positive I can care for your special needs animals with just as much love and care when you are away. I have two elementary school aged children who can also assist with helping with your pets needs (if applicable & okay with owners) with my assistance to help learn responsibility, routines, a good work ethic, and be able to earn their own money and learn the hard work and value of a dollar. My kids have experience with feeding, walking, medication administration, and lots of play and snuggles. :) Please reach out if you have any questions! I look forward to loving on your animals and spoiling them rotten! I currently work three - 12 hour shifts a week. Some nights, some days. I am very flexible with my work schedule which makes my flexibility to care for your animals better! I have a large fully fenced in back yard. I crate my animals when I am not at home for more than two hours at a time. I have one extra crate not in use if needed. We have about an acre of land in total and love to go for walks or hikes.

“She is great, our dogs love her!!”
