“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem – Like Family to Us and Maximus! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hannah—she’s not just a dog walker, she’s part of our family. Our dog Maximus is truly our baby (especially now that our kids are grown and out of the house), and knowing that Hannah cares for him with the same love and attention we do means the world to us. Hannah has been with us for over three months now, and in that time she’s become someone we fully trust with our most spoiled and beloved family member. She’s reliable, flexible with our crazy schedule, and always greets Maximus with affection and warmth. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Maximus absolutely adores her! She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels cared for when we’re not home, which gives us such peace of mind. We treasure Hannah and everything she does for our family. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, look no further. She’s truly one of a kind.”
“Alexsys is awesome. Communicative, thorough, and sends me all the updates and photos I need when I’m away. She even sent a picture of my porch kitty!”
“Just wonderful, haven’t been able to meet up yet,(work work work )however very wonderful communication and updates she comes to let my my pup out and give her a little energy release on my 12hr shifts. Quick responses and overall feelings of trust with a person coming into my home! She even makes sure to tell me what my cat was up to when she visits. Nothing but great experiences with her!”
“We had a great experience with Myahrissa! Our pup can be a bit stubborn at times but he immediately loved her and walked without hesitation. I think he was even a little sad when she left. We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a teenager. Whether it be my own dog or someone else’s, I love taking care of animals. In the past, I’ve spent extensive time caring for the pets of friends and neighbors along with my own. I work as a freelancer, so I can make my schedule work for any times! While I am available on weekends, I focus on M-F from 8am-8pm for pet sitting. With my own dog, I’m very protective and make sure she is safe and gets the care she needs. That is no different with other dogs. Whenever I’m watching a pet, I always make sure to keep them safe and give them the best time!
“Lisette is great with my dogs! We have an older dog that she comes and walks and he loves it. We also just got a puppy and she has been coming over in the middle of the day to take him and our older dog on small walks and it’s been great!”
About: Friendly animal lover! I have always had a dog, cat, or multiple animals since a young age! Currently have 2 dogs (rescues). Very polite and easy to work with. I work from home so I am flexible during the day and evenings too accommodate schedules. Love taking walks so would love to have a companion! I take pride in providing the best care to your pets. I am a clean person and would always leave your home as I found it or better. Also happy to provide updates via notes or texts!
About: I have been on the board of directors for the SPCA for many years. I have five rescue animals at home. I am very active and love being outdoors! I currently work part-time, and I have summers off. I can offer morning, midday, and evening times for drop ins, playtime or walking outdoors for 30 mins. I can offer drop-in visits to snuggle and play, or nice long walks outside for 30mins. I can help with potty training and light lease training
“Sierra got along well with my standoffish Akita, Bailey. She was on time, and let me know what Bailey did on her walks. I would highly recommend Sierra!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have cared for many dogs of various breeds & sizes throughout my life and currently have three dogs and two cats at home. Besides cats & dogs, I have also cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, hamsters, chickens, goats, and sheep! For the past two years, I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Winchester, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I am confident working with playful puppies, senior pets, and everyone in between. I am patient, outgoing, and truly love providing animals with the care and attention they deserve. I am often available during early morning-late night. My schedule varies during the summer, I am available some Mondays/Tuesdays, but I am mostly available Wednesday-Sunday. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.

About: 6 years of personal experience with an array of pets. My care is exceptional due to my profound love of fur and not so furry babies. I moved this January without my family fur baby and have all the time to take great care of yours! Currently just studying online and am home all the time. I don’t have a yard but I live less than a 1 min walk from Handley high school park which is HUGE and perfect for highly interactive walks!

About: Thank you so much for taking the time to view my profile☺️ I am a stay at home mom looking to fill her days with some four legged lovin, i am usually available due to me being at home so being available would typically not be an issue! I am VERY well experienced in caring for dogs and cats. I have cared for a variety of animals ranging from senior animals that require round the clock care, to week old puppies needing constant feeding and cuddles, ive cared for sick dogs needing medication, and ive cared for energetic dogs needing someone to run around and tire them out! I have loved and owned dogs my whole life and now that i am an adult i love them even more! My kids share that same love for animals, and we promise to love your sweet baby and treat them like our own🥰 I care for animals full time, so i’m very flexible when it comes to availability!

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life being exposed to all kinds of critters from dogs and cats to rabbits and tortoises. I spent 4 years working in a dog boarding facility where I honed my dog walking and caring abilities. I go on long walks and runs with the pups and can give medicine to our older fur friends. If it’s related to caring for pets, I’ve done it! I’ve pet/house sat off and on for the last 8 years, so I know how to best care for you fur family and your home. I always try to give the pets a little grooming while they're with me and can tidy your home while you're away! I currently am a physical therapy student at Shenandoah so my week days during the semester are filled with learning and studying. I get an extended lunch and my days usually end around 3-4 so I can stop by during lunch or be back in time for an afternoon potty break before dinner. I can accommodate longer days with extended morning walks or sensory challenges for the pups while I’m away. This will keep their mind and nose active while I’m away I don’t currently have any pets of my own so yours will be safe from others and get all my love and attention. I keep my home nice and clean and am happy to clean/tidy up while a guest in others homes. I always leave places cleaner than I found them!

Kelly M.
“Kelly watched my dog, Lucy, for nearly two weeks in our house. I was a little nervous, as Lucy hadn't been left with a dogsitter in years and she can tend to be demanding and anxious. But, having Kelly take care of her (as well as our house) genuinely put my mind at ease. She's great with dogs in general and was willing to keep to Lucy's schedule for walks, feeding, treats, etc. She kept me well updated by text and with photos, and didn't hesitate to reach out with questions. She kept Lucy safe and happy and our house was spotless when we returned. I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly for pet-sitting!”
