“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”
“Walter and his family were great hosts and caretakers for our dog. They made us feel super comfortable by sending updates and pictures while we were away. We have already asked them to take care of our dog again because of the wonderful care they provided!”
“Kalley was amazing!! I needed a new sitter as my previous sitter stopped doing in-home boarding, and Kalley was phenomenal. She was very attentive and kept me updated daily on how Marley was doing via text and pictures. I knew he was extremely comfortable in her home which really put me at ease. Thank you Kalley to you and your family for taking such good care of Marley!”
“Yzabella and her family took AMAZING care of Louie. She was so responsive and sent many photos and videos. I knew he was in great, caring hands. We will absolutely be using her services again very soon 😊”
“Once again, Cindy was the best! My dog was happy to see Cindy. She treats my dog like one of the family. She makes sure she’s fed, walked, and sends me pictures and a note. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Cindy is the best!!”
“Alexsys was WONDERFUL! Our pup got lots of outside time and exercise, was able to play with a couple other pups of similar size and temperament, and she was super responsive in our communications. Loved the pictures, videos, and daily updates on how he was doing! Highly recommend her.”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t recommend anyone more for your dog sitting needs. We are very thankful we had her available to watch Mocha! She gave great updates and provided lots of pictures.”
“Linda did an amazing job watching our little pup Bentley. We were gone for 5 days and she accommodated us with even picking him up a bit early. Bentley has only been with us for 4 months so we weren't sure how it would go. It went amazing. So much so he even looked a little sad to be leaving Linda. She gave updates even when I wasn't able to ask or get right back with her. Bentley has a bit of a finicky stomach and has zero problems since we brought him home. Linda is very kind and attentive not only to the needs of Bentley but ours too. We definitely will be back when we plan our family trip next year. I can't tell her thank you enough. She truly put all my worries at ease. No question that she was the perfect pick for us and Bentley. Thank you again Linda!”
“Gabby had to put up with a spoiled rotten cat! Skittles is the most unsociable cat there is. But everyday without fail she sent me a message that he was eating drinking and still hiding out in his room. She left her house open for Skittles to wander around in but he preferred hiding in a hole he created in her couch🤦 I cannot say enough good about this young mother of 4 beautiful children. She is now out family preferred sitter.”
“Jessica was the perfect fit for my two babies. The minute the got out of the car they were exploring. Tails up! She has a wonderful space for animals to run and play outside and plenty of room inside as well. Her home is clean and inviting. She sent frequent updates and pictures. It was evident my doggies had a blast. I'm very thankful to have found her. I would give her 10 🌟 She's above and beyond a great sitter 🙌”
About: Animals have been part of my life since birth, and caring for them has always been one of the greatest joys of my life. I grew up in a home that always had dogs, and when I got my first dog in my early twenties, I continued owning and caring for dogs for nearly 31 years. While I currently share my home with three beloved cats, I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs and understand their needs, personalities, and the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For the past five years, I’ve also hosted guests through Airbnb and regularly cared for their pets, giving me experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that comes from the heart. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own family. I work for myself, I have a very flexible schedule and can adjust my time to meet your pet’s needs. This allows me to be available, reliable, and fully present for your pet. Whether it’s daily visits or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are cared for, comfortable, and never feel alone. I treat every pet like my own, with safety and comfort always coming first. I live on a private five-acre property with a large, securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy plenty of space. Inside, pets have a calm, clean environment with cozy spots to relax, along with toys and attention. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.
“Lizette and her family are so sweet! They took the best care of Harvest and were such a pleasure. She made sure to keep me updated by sending regular pictures and Harvest surely loved them as well!”
“Heather is absolutely amazing! We’ve never left one of our dogs with anyone outside of family and it was so nice to see they had a blast and made themselves feel right at home. She is flexible, quick response time and has plenty of room for our dogs to run and play, also meeting some new friends with their dogs. We will keep our dogs going to Heather anytime we leave town and she is available.”
About: I love dogs and can't wait to take care of your furry friend! I have a large home, plenty of room for your dog to stretch out. I have a yellow lab/golden retriever mix who is very friendly. I have a fenced yard (about half an acre) and another 9 acres of unfenced area. I work from home during the week, so will have plenty of time for walks, play-time, etc. I am good with all ages/sizes. I will ensure your dog is comfortable and safe, and has plenty of attention! I work from home so am always around to care for your pets! Will have plenty of potty breaks and play time. If I have to step out I can crate your pet or not, whichever you prefer. I have a fenced in yard I work from home so am always around to care for your pets! Will have plenty of potty breaks and play time. If I have to step out I can crate your pet or not, whichever you prefer.
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 a student at Virginia Tech, so I have availability here and there throughout the day! I am also available most evenings/nights for longer periods of time. 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.
“Thank you so much for keeping Sammie. We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about him- knowing that he was getting very good care. And, we loved the photo updates! We will definitely use you again. ”
“I really like the fact that Lucy only watches one dog at a time. No cages or kennels were used, and our dog was allowed to be on the couch which is what she does at home. I would recommend Lucy”

“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and currently have cats of my own, so I understand their unique personalities, body language, and daily care needs. From playful and social to shy and independent, I’m comfortable adapting to each cat’s individual temperament. In addition to personal experience, I previously worked as a kennel technician, where I cared for animals in a professional setting. This role taught me how to monitor behavior, recognize signs of stress or illness, safely handle animals, and maintain clean, sanitary environments. I’ve also volunteered with rescue cats, which gave me experience working with timid, fearful, and newly transitioned cats. I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and creating a calm environment so they feel safe and secure. Your cat’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority.
“VIctoria was amazing! Our dogs are rescues and came from abusive situations, so they dont normally take well to strangers and they warmed up to her, which is huge in our book! She is so patient and has a great love for animals. Communicates well and goes above and beyond! I will gladly use her services again and highly recommend!”
“So very pleased with Melissa. She checked in daily on Sammy and always sent photos and a detailed — often humorous— update on how he was and what he was doing. I will definitely hire Melissa again and highly recommend her.”
“Sonja was great! I felt very comfortable leaving Zoe with her and her pups. I can tell Zoe had a wonderful time playing with Sonja's dogs in her beautiful home and yard. I would have no hesitation leaving Zoe with her again!”
About: I love animals Have always had an animal in my life. Not sure if I would function without one. Looking forward to caring for other animals. I currently have open availability. Not currently working outside of my home. Looking forward to helping others with their pets and making them feel comfortable being away from them Prefer to car for pets in your home. I have 2 dogs and the are pretty much just used to each other. Need to know what your dogs temperament is likes and dislikes
“Katie was fantastic! She spent a lot of time with all 4 cats and even got our shy boy out of hiding - a first. I felt confident that they were getting as much love and care as possible while we were away. I highly recommend Katie.”
“Stephanie is a wonderful pet sitter as well as a delightful person. After our “meet and greet” and felt completely comfortable with her as a pet and house sitter. She took perfect care of our cat and our home! We highly recommend her and plan to use her (if she’s available) every time we go away! A perfect experience!! Bob and Susan B.”
“Lexi made 3 drop-in visits to check on our cats Ashes and Whiskers. She visited once before we left to see to all the arrangements and then reported on her visits during the drop-ins. Great communicator and pet care provider! Two thumbs up.”
About: I currently have 4 cats whose ages range from 1 to 10 years old, so I have experience caring for cats in many different stages of life. Each of my cats has a completely different personality and different needs, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to make every cat feel comfortable in their own way. Some are playful and energetic, while others are more shy and relaxed, so I understand the importance of respecting boundaries, routines, and comfort levels. Growing up around animals and caring for multiple cats has made me very confident in feeding, playtime, litter box care, giving attention, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets.
“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.”
“I highly recommend Darian to take care of your pets! I needed someone reliable, and on very short notice, to take care of my precious skittish cat for three weeks. Darian did a wonderful job tending to all my cat's needs, and she accomplished the amazing by quickly getting my suspicious, standoffish cat to allow her to pet her! Darian also went the extra mile of cleaning up the floor several times when my cat coughed up hairballs and had other tummy issues. Darian had not taken care of my pet before, but she stepped in like a pro and took care of her, and kept tabs on my house as well. As I said at first, I highly recommend Darian for your pet!”
About: I have owned my own personal animals for the past 6 years, I have 3 dogs (all beautiful muts) and 8 cats. Aside from having my own furry kids, I've also worked in animal rescue for a little over 4 years. This job field has given me so much experience working with every sort of dog breed, and any cat temperament. I currently work a full time job Monday-Thursday but I would love to be more involved in the animal field again. With me having fridays off I feel this is a great opportunity to spend time helping others and hanging out with animals! Since I do have my own animals, I will not be able to provide in home care. However, I will be more than happy to set something up with you to do care for your pets in their own home!

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.
“Alexsys is absolutely amazing and super sweet!! I had a last minute booking that she was able to take!! She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day showing how much of a good time my Rheya had!! I also LOVE that she was able to play with some other furry friends and had a back yard to get her zoomies out! 100% will be booking with her again!!”
“Shaghayegh is one of the best dog sitters I have met and I'm so happy to have found her! She's so friendly, super honest, and just does a careful and amazing job with my puppy. She takes him on multiple walks and sends me lots of pictures during the day. When I drop him off to her in the morning, he's practically jumping out of my arms to get to her and cuddle, so that's the best possible review that really matters!”
“My dog JoJo is always happy and content after spending a day with Thomas and his family. It feels good knowing that he is in a safe and loving environment while I’m away at work. Nothing beats having a peace of mind when it comes to your fur baby!”
“Gabby was exceptional taking care my dog, Luna! It was my first time leaving her with a sitter and using Rover and she made the experience so much easier. She loved on my pup and sent me updates with pictures and videos throughout her overnight stay. Gabby is professional, friendly, and caring towards the pup and their human. I needed some handholding and she was super kind. I’d recommend Gabby any time!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different pets over the past two years. I created a Facebook page for pet sitting and have watch dogs, cats, even ducks. I love any and all pets! I’m currently taking collage classes online while doing pet sitting. I have a very flexible schedule to fit your pet in my day and I can even stay with your pet for the day while taking my classes with them sitting by my side. I am not able to currently watch pets at my house but would be more then happy to come and stay with your pet over night for there comfort.
About: My family calls me the dog whisperer. I have over twenty years of experience caring, watching, and owning all types of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My husband and I work from home and have two dogs ourselves. Typical millennial, but they are our furr-children. Everyday we have multiple potty breaks and play time outside. I feed my dogs twice a day and they are my entire world. My schedule revolves around them. All dogs are welcome and are part of the family. They can sit on the furniture and sleep in our bed. We have a dog ramp for the dogs to get on the couch. We have 10 acres with a big yard and lots of exercise. We have dog toy baskets on all floors of the house. We treat all pets like family!
About: I love dogs! I’ve taken care of neighbor’s and friend’s dogs and currently have one of my own. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, walking and training dogs on and off lead. I currently work only part-time, so I have a lot of free time on my hands. There are a few weekends or nights that I’ll be away, but we can book in advance. I have a private house with tons of green space and corn fields. We have no visible neighbors, so your dog will enjoy a bit of the peaceful country lifestyle. My dog goes outside off-leash, but I can keep yours on to keep them safe.
“Lisette is WONDERFUL and her family is also so nice. She was very friendly and lovable, super communicative, helpful, and also flexible. She took great care of my dog and sent photos throughout the day, and he was really happy and relaxed (and in no hurry to leave) when I came to pick him up so I know he loved being there! I definitely recommend her and will send my dog there again anytime she's available!”
“Haejin & Herscel were wondering caretakers! They were open to taking my dog for daycare a few days before and treated her so well. I liked that they only take a few dogs a day to reduce exposure and ensure they are all being watched. I loved the occasional photo and video updates, which her other daycare doesn't do it all. She came home very tired from playing all day, which was exactly what we wanted. I look forward to using them again!”
About: Dog care certified in Argentina, as an animal lover I want to pursue career caring for them. Since young, I used to spend a lot of time in dog walks and parks with them. I believe now, I can provide them the perfect environment of a fenced backyard of 10.000 sqf. I love to exercise and pamper pups and we're easy to reach, even for a last-minute need. With some dog training experience and a lot of love for dogs, I look forward to taking care of your family member like one of our own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will take long playtime or jogs with your dog. If your furry family member just needs companionship and loving attention, I am happy to provide that kind of care, too. Photos of your dog will be shared with you throughout their visit. I love to send lots of pictures of my guests. My house is generally a cage-free environment, but will use your crates if that is what your pup is used to at home. I have a couple of gates to use as necessary to separate dogs during meals and to give them a large, safe play area in our home.

“Wonderful sitter! You can tell she really cares about her campers. We have our baby scheduled with her for a long weekend and I fully trust her to provide excellent care. My little baby is my pride and joy :)”
“Taking on a totally unknown dog from a cross-country road trip, IS a risk. We knew our senior dog Ginger would likely be stressed: 1st from the trip, and 2nd to be left with a stranger, in an unfamiliar environment. Linda really seems to love the dogs, she had 1-2 fosters there when we arrived (not sure, as I think I only saw 1). While I'm sure it was hard on both of them, we do sincerely appreciate her taking on our dog for a few hours, so that we could attend the wedding of an old family friend. If you read this Linda, I am interested in that food you had there for your fosters. Please shoot me a message, I may look at ordering it to try next time. Thanks again!”
“My Hera loves Emily & her pup Peaches. Hera gets treat boards, lots of walks, snuggles, and activities. Emily continues training I do at home with Hera at daycare...such as auto sit at the street edge and wait for "cross" command before crossing the street. A happy Hera makes me a happy dog mama. 😀”

I love how she sends me picture of him through out the walk and a report of how the walk went! I 100% recommend Katie for any of your needs!”

About: Hi there, My name is Melissa and I work from home which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. l am a very active person who absolutely loves all sorts of fur babies, especially dogs and cats. I enjoy having the ability to interact with them on a daily basis. I currently have one fur baby of my own, Roxy (13 yo Jack Russell), but I have been around all types of animals since I was little, and I can't imagine my life without them. I would love to include more animals in my life by helping you take care of yours from drop-in visits, dog walking and more! I believe in positive reinforcement training versus negative reinforcement, which supports an animal’s overall well being. My goal is to make sure that your dog is fully sated from our walk so that when you get home you have a relaxed doggie! Having had more than one dog of my own in the past I am experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time, so if you have 2 or more dogs that need daily walks I am up for it! Also, if your pet just needs a cuddle and some caring for during the day I am happy to drop in visit on them and spend some time with them! I hope you’ll consider me for your pet care needs.

I also will respect your household and leave it in the condition it was in when I arrived.
About: Hello, consider me your pets new best friend! Growing up, since day 1, I have had 3 dogs and a slew of kittens. I have experience with many many animals and have given medicinal needs to dogs and cats both! I have been tending to animals since before I can remember and I know I can be a reliable resource for your beloved pet(s). 💗 I have 2 cats currently of my own named Charlie and Sammy, they're twins! I've also grown up with dogs, never lived without them til my 20's. So needless to say, I am an animal lover and advocate and will treat them with the best care they deserve! My own cats: I play with them all the time and make sure they're fed well with lots of water! They also get cuddles on the daily! My clients pets (dogs and/or cats!): I make sure all their animals have food and water! I love to run outside with the dogs and get all their energies out, and play with the cats to get them through the zoomies!
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I would help family and neighbors and then grew to not just a job it has came to something I love and thrive to do. I am now 33 years old and I strive to help others with their fur babies so they are never alone and taken care of. I own my own farm so my pet care starts at 6am to when I go to bed. I have some much time through the day I I want to help others with their pets/animals. I do not watch others animals in my home only due to our farm animals. But I am happy to go to my clients home to feed, water, give basic care and play with clients pets.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have 4 cats and a 4-month-old puppy, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need every single day. Growing up surrounded by animals taught me how to care for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. From playful puppies to independent cats, I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets lots of affection and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work a flexible part-time job, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week to care for pets and give them the attention they deserve. Since I also have 4 cats and a 4-month-old puppy of my own, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I enjoy spending my free time with them. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or older. In a client’s home, I always follow instructions carefully to keep pets on their normal routine and help them feel as stress-free and comfortable as possible while their owner is away.
“I was nervous having someone come into my home and take my pup on walks while I’m at work but Megan has been so great! My dog Dixie loves her! Thank you Megan for what you do! 😁”
About: Hi! I have 5 years of animal care experience, two years in the shelter setting and on my 3rd year in a veterinary care. I also volunteer with a canine rescue. I am currently working full time but am available before / after my work shifts and available for overnight care in your home or mine. Due to my full time work schedule I am best equipped to do over night care. I have a home with plenty of space inside and outside. I am available to stop by in the mornings / evening to feed and walk or let out and administer medications as needed. If your pet is on a set schedule for a specific medication please let me know ahead of time and I will be happy to check my work schedule to ensure if I would be a good fit! In my home I have a 50+ lbs spayed female pit bull and a 5lb female chihuahua. In a clients home I would like to be provided with any information regarding food aggression, possessiveness, schedule the dogs follow and any special accommodations needed to best suit the pet(s). I am very flexible and have worked with all kinds of dogs with different temperaments and needs. I do work full time so a typical day for me is waking up early, I take my dogs out, feed them, meditate if needed, one more potty break before leaving. They do go out mid day by a dog walker that comes in. And then after work they go outside, eat dinner, outside again and then hangout and play until bedtime where we do night treat and one more bathroom break. I have pets at home that are super dog friendly. They absolutely love any company. I volunteer with a rescue so they are very used to other dogs coming in and out. I have the ability to separate dogs if needed, crate dogs if needed (one of my girls get crated and one does not)
About: My wife & I grew up with pets all kinds and recently we adopted a dog from a rescue and that spark has been reignited of what we've been missing. We have thought long and hard and prayed about doing this. We have a 11 year old son that loves to walk the animals and give them exercise and plenty of opportunities to do their business. My Wife home schools and I currently work part-time so someone will always be home to monitor your pet/pets. We have been told that recent pets we've sitted are in heaven when their in our home. We have one small pup she is 3.5 years old and seems to do well with other pets. We will love and care for your pets just as if they were our own.
About: I have owned my own personal animals for the past 6 years, I have 3 dogs (all beautiful muts) and 8 cats. Aside from having my own furry kids, I've also worked in animal rescue for a little over 4 years. This job field has given me so much experience working with every sort of dog breed, and any cat temperament. I currently work a full time job Monday-Thursday but I would love to be more involved in the animal field again. With me having fridays off I feel this is a great opportunity to spend time helping others and hanging out with animals! Since I do have my own animals, I will not be able to provide in home care. However, I will be more than happy to set something up with you to do care for your pets in their own home!
About: I have experience not only pet sitting in someone’s home, but also outside of their home. I currently work as a dog bather, so I have experience with animals and handling there too! I am currently working part time, only about 20 hours a week, so I have plenty of time to give that special dog in your life a walk for you when you’re unable! Our yard is partially fenced in (half of it is fenced) and we have another dog in our house. Your dog will primarily stay with me, alone where I can watch them! And if they need to go out, I am able to take breaks when I need to to take them out.
About: Over the years I have worked with many different kinds of animals from house pets to farm animals to exotics. I have always had a passion for animals and grew up taking care of them. I have been working in the animal field since age 16 and currently work as an ER exotic veterinary technician student. I am employed full time, however my job allows me to bring pets into work with me should they need monitoring, time sensitive medications, etc. I am trained to handle both fearful and friendly pets as well as administering medications and monitoring overall health and behavior. If there are any special requirements or requests please let me know in advance so I can provide the best possible care for your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds since I was young. I love dogs and have a blue heeler named Ruger. I’ve had family and friends that have relied on me to pet sit over the years. I currently work full time and I’m home in the evenings by 5 usually. Overnight boarding would be simple as I am home every evening. My yard is not fenced in but I have about an acre. My blue heeler Ruger is always looking for a play date! I can crate your dog if needed as well.
About: I've lived with pets all my life and while I’ve only had one human roommate in the last 30 years, I've always had a least one cat up until 2018. I LOVE cats (esp kittens), and am quite comfortable around dogs as well (I love them too, just not in all capitals, LOL). When I first started pet sitting, I thought I preferred cats to dogs, but the past few years have enabled me to expand in my love of, and comfort with dogs (but please don't tell the cats that)! I also used to 'lease' a horse in my youth and have experience with birds, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs. I DON'T like snakes or insects (sorry!) In the last 12 years I’ve volunteered with several rescues as a cat/kitten foster and I'm known to be particularly good with feral kittens and cats. I'm really good with walking (dogs mostly), dispensing medications, and loving attention, but I'm not a pushover when it comes to treats from the table (that's a no-no) staying on leash when required, and letting them know I mean business when necessary. I don't believe in EVER striking or punishing animals and seem to fall in love with them all. I’ve been a house and pet sitter on the site “Trusted Housesitters” since 2018 and have over 21 positive reviews there. I’m recently retired (yet surprisingly busy). I don’t do a lot of night driving, but am otherwise generally available. I’m a stickler about being on time, and keeping dates I commit to. My preference is for cats to remain indoors at all times at my house, and dogs always on a lead when outside. I have a variety of crate sizes here, and am totally comfortable with your fur kids riding in my car, lounging on my furniture, and/or sleeping in my bed. I have all wood floors, plenty of cat litter pans and bowls for food and water. My yard is not fenced but I have easy access to neighborhood parks.

“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”
“Alexsys was WONDERFUL! Our pup got lots of outside time and exercise, was able to play with a couple other pups of similar size and temperament, and she was super responsive in our communications. Loved the pictures, videos, and daily updates on how he was doing! Highly recommend her.”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t recommend anyone more for your dog sitting needs. We are very thankful we had her available to watch Mocha! She gave great updates and provided lots of pictures.”
“Gabby had to put up with a spoiled rotten cat! Skittles is the most unsociable cat there is. But everyday without fail she sent me a message that he was eating drinking and still hiding out in his room. She left her house open for Skittles to wander around in but he preferred hiding in a hole he created in her couch🤦 I cannot say enough good about this young mother of 4 beautiful children. She is now out family preferred sitter.”
“Jessica was the perfect fit for my two babies. The minute the got out of the car they were exploring. Tails up! She has a wonderful space for animals to run and play outside and plenty of room inside as well. Her home is clean and inviting. She sent frequent updates and pictures. It was evident my doggies had a blast. I'm very thankful to have found her. I would give her 10 🌟 She's above and beyond a great sitter 🙌”
About: Animals have been part of my life since birth, and caring for them has always been one of the greatest joys of my life. I grew up in a home that always had dogs, and when I got my first dog in my early twenties, I continued owning and caring for dogs for nearly 31 years. While I currently share my home with three beloved cats, I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs and understand their needs, personalities, and the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For the past five years, I’ve also hosted guests through Airbnb and regularly cared for their pets, giving me experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that comes from the heart. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own family. I work for myself, I have a very flexible schedule and can adjust my time to meet your pet’s needs. This allows me to be available, reliable, and fully present for your pet. Whether it’s daily visits or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are cared for, comfortable, and never feel alone. I treat every pet like my own, with safety and comfort always coming first. I live on a private five-acre property with a large, securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy plenty of space. Inside, pets have a calm, clean environment with cozy spots to relax, along with toys and attention. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.
“Lizette and her family are so sweet! They took the best care of Harvest and were such a pleasure. She made sure to keep me updated by sending regular pictures and Harvest surely loved them as well!”
“Heather is absolutely amazing! We’ve never left one of our dogs with anyone outside of family and it was so nice to see they had a blast and made themselves feel right at home. She is flexible, quick response time and has plenty of room for our dogs to run and play, also meeting some new friends with their dogs. We will keep our dogs going to Heather anytime we leave town and she is available.”

I will ensure your dog is comfortable and safe, and has plenty of attention! I work from home so am always around to care for your pets! Will have plenty of potty breaks and play time.

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 a student at Virginia Tech, so I have availability here and there throughout the day! I am also available most evenings/nights for longer periods of time. 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.
“I really like the fact that Lucy only watches one dog at a time. No cages or kennels were used, and our dog was allowed to be on the couch which is what she does at home. I would recommend Lucy”
“Crystal immediately bonded with Remington. She sent pictures, and he was even smiling! He seemed a bit depressed when I drove him home. While I had wished he was happier to see me, I know that he felt safe and loved with Crystal.”
“Thomas took great care of Max. He was very attentive, flexible, and caring. At first we were worried because Max was sick but Thomas was great and we were given the confidence to bring him over to Thomas’ house. Max had a great time and we totally recommend Thomas’ services. THANK YOU Thomas!”
About: I have loved and cared for 10 of my own fur friends(6 dogs, 4 cats) and been so lucky to love and care for many many more. From farm to house to tank to pen I have cared for pretty much everything except insects and arachnids. I've spent nights with road side rescues that became beloved family members, I've taken my bottle feeding resuce squirrel camping in a shoe box in my sleeping bag, I've fed horses and chickens in a blizzard. I've gently loved the old ones that are hanging on just a little bit longer and I've welcomed the brand new ones to this great big world. I am currently working part-time and have the flexibility to work around your schedule. Overnights and holidays are available with at home and boarding options. Lots of walks! I do have one friendly dog and a cat in my home with the ability to keep everyone separate if needed. Crating is also an option. Lots of love and attention. Your home or mine.
