“Kristine was very responsible taking care of our dog and home while we were gone for 4 days. In fact, more than we expected. We will definitely want her to take of Boots again when we need a dog sitter.”

“Our 130# Newfoundland and cat were well taken care of. Communication was great, even using a different app since we were in Europe. Would not hesitate to use Charlotte again, she cared for our animals like they were hers.”

About: Hi, I’m Nina! My passion for animals started when I began volunteering at animal shelters when I was 13. By the time I was 19, I was working full-time at a doggy daycare where I learned puppy / senior care, light training experience, medication administration, exotic pet care, behavioral management, navigating social interactions / introductions, and much more in my 8 years there. I am currently working full time, Monday - Friday 8:30am-4:30pm but am hoping to change that soon to focus on my passion for animal care and socialization. I love hanging out and chilling with the dogs I meet and getting to know them. I will take your pets on walks, sit with them in the shade or outside, play with any toys they love, or just hang out on the couch if that’s their speed. My care is custom to your pet and their needs.

“Caitlin went above and beyond with our special needs hound. We got plenty of communication and updates, along with lots of photos! We’d absolutely use her services again. Thanks, Caitlin!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since high school! I am comfortable and familiar with multiple pets at once and even some more eclectic animals like reptiles (turtles and snakes). I would only be able to come to your house to pet sit or walk, I would not be able to bring pets to my apt. I would only be able to pet sit in your home as I live in an apartment where I am unable to bring animals into my space.

“This is the first time I've had a sitter stay in my house instead of boarding my girls. After meeting Kathy and seeing how much my younger dog loved her, I felt confident in leaving for a week. However, she went above and beyond to love on my dogs so they wouldn't be upset that I was gone. She communicated daily, sent pictures, and tailored her schedule around the dog's needs. Kathy was also flexible when the dogfood unexpectedly ran out and I had to order more while out of the country. She offered to get food for them locally and then modified their feeding schedule while waiting for the food shipment. Both dogs were happy and healthy when I got home and its clear they were well loved and taken care of. The house was also cleaner than when I left! I've already asked Kathy if she is available for my next trip!”

About: (Formerly Kamp Kelley) I have been fostering small dogs for a rescue group in No. VA. for the last 9 years (my aching back doesn’t allow me to work with dogs larger than 20 lbs)--prior to that I fostered cats and kittens. I has experience with many types of small dogs—especially Shih Tzu’s and Llasa Apso’s, but also Yorkshire Terriers, Basset Hounds, Pom's, Toy Poodles, etc. My expertise is in rescuing and caring for senior and special need dogs. Since I have a dog-friendly house and a large-fenced yard (1/4 acre) for them to run and play in, I decided to become a dog-sitter 5 years ago. I believe in loving and treating your fur-baby like my own! We keep her home and yard dog proof so your little angel will be in a safe, relaxed, dog-friendly, and loving environment! Because I am retired, my schedule is very flexible. I'm retired and except for occasional trips to the store, bi-weekly Bridge games. monthly book group and a occasional meeting, I'm home ALL THE TIME. At this point, I am accepting only ONE dog at a time EXCEPT if there are 2 dogs from the same household. Same for cats. I have a large, fenced yard that can be separated off. I have lots of dog equipment. For example large crates if your dog is used to being crated, bowls, beds and cushions, a big bed for them to share with me, jackets, leashes, kongs and lots of love and affection. Same for cats--EXCEPT, I let them out only on the back deck (enclosed).

“Katherine was absolutely great with Donner and Murphy during the storms we had yesterday. Played with them cuddled with them to comfort them. We’ll definitely have back as needed.”

“Our first experience with Haley was absolutely fantastic. She stayed with our 2.5 y/o Great Dane "Thunder" over the Thanksgiving holiday and truly gave us peace of mind throughout. First, she met with us the day before to get acquainted with our home and Thunder and asked lots of insightful questions that showed her interest in doing a great job. Then, while we were away, she kept us updated on the status of her stay throughout - leaving no doubt we will request her services again very soon!”

“Autumn did a great job taking care of my babies while I was gone. She was great at communicating and sent me pictures every day. I would recommend.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since my early teen years and have over 15 years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, neighbors, and long-term clients. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs in their final years, and I’m comfortable giving medications, including pills and daily injections. For several years, I ran my own pet-sitting business throughout Northern Virginia. After recently moving to the Winchester area, I’m joining Rover to connect with new local families and continue doing something I genuinely love. I’ll do my best to keep your dog happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages along the way. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent attention, including walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins without needing to work around a fixed job schedule. I have a fenced-in side yard/patio, which allows for secure outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised when outside to ensure their safety. I also have a friendly mini Goldendoodle who is social and comfortable around other dogs. In addition, I have a shy cat who is dog-friendly and generally keeps to himself.

“Destiny was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our babies and they all loved her! She was very communicative, gave great updates everyday, and very responsive! Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
