Pet Sitting Westwood

“Kim was so great! This was our first time booking with Rover and I am so glad we found her. Kim was very thorough, sending updates and pictures each day of all our pets. I appreciated her wealth of experience; it was especially comforting to know that she has cared for senior cats, betta fish, and even chickens. She thought of things that I didn’t even think of in terms of pet care and went above and beyond to make sure all our animals were happy during our week away and things were tidy around food bowls and litter boxes for our return. I would absolutely book with Kim again!”

“Alexsys did an amazing job with my dog. She cared for her like she was her own and sent me plenty of updates. My dog was happy and well loved while we were out of town. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”

About: I’ve enjoyed the steady companionship of dogs and cats since I could walk. I’ve been pet sitting from a young age and I love animals of all kinds! I’ve taken care of my own family pets from young to old and can’t imagine my life without animals playing a key role. My schedule is very open as I am self-employed and I’m happy to work around whatever you need. I prefer to be home in the evenings for my own pets but can occasionally make accommodations if necessary. I am very safety conscious and will ensure that pets are kept away from everyday dangerous and that your rules are followed to the letter.

“Kathy was so responsive and reliable! She took great care of our dog and gave detailed info as well as pictures after all of her visits! we will definitely use her again ☺️”

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.

“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!”

About: I have been a pet owner for most of my life. I volunteered at the SPCA while I was in college, and I thoroughly enjoy interacting with animals. I will care for yours as I cared for my own! While my daughters are in school, my day is open! I can visit, walk, and play with your pet while you’re at work, so you won’t have to worry if they’re bored or lonely. I will come to your house to walk, feed, and/or play with your pet. We can discuss your pet’s needs at any time.

About: I own a dog and 2 cats. I love animals. I enjoy a cat or dog's company. Pet personalities are my favorite personalities. Excited to help where I can. I am currently free for walks and drop in feedings. I am home most of the time, so my schedule is flexible. Let me know what you need and we can go from there! On walks I will always use a leash. I double and triple check gates are completely closed and latched to ensure your pet's security. Same goes with your home. I am great with following feeding directions and needs for your pet.

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).

About: I work full time at Shenandoah University and am joining Rover to formalize my side hustle, which Ive largely managed through word of mouth thus far. I’ve lived with dogs for about 25 of my 30 years of life - mostly hounds (most recently 2 bassets). And I’ve watched dogs of all sizes, the smallest being a chihuahua mix and the largest a Great Dane. Over the last 5 years or so, I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and connections in the Winchester area. All animals are different and I respect you, their owner, to tell me what’s best for your furry friend. I also will be transparent and over communicate with you so we both can be confident your animals have everything they need. I’m comfortable dispensing medication - including to the really picky ones (I can take a pill/pill pocket and sculpt it pretty much exactly the same shape and size as any mainstream kibble brand). I have experience with puppies and with our senior citizens, who both just need a little extra care and attention. I feel comfortable listening to animals and getting to know their personalities, which are all so different yet equally endearing. If they are trying to say something, though, I feel pretty confident I will notice it - especially after we’ve spent a few hours together. And, if they’re trying to say something and I don’t understand? I’ll reach out just to make sure. I just really, really love animals. I most often watch dogs but have also cared for cats, lizards, bunnies, chickens, and horses (although horses were largely just feeding and brushing/attention). I also have a rescue cat of my own, Luna, who has made me certain I’m equally a dog person AND a cat person. I work 9-5 M-F, and occasionally am tied up on weekends with happenings on campus. I can take an hour lunch (and flex a bit beyond if necessary) to visit the animals for attention and potty breaks. I am single, sober, and genuinely grateful for the work and the company. Animals have so much love to give, and i try to reciprocate that love indiscriminately. Thanks for your consideration and please let me know if I can answer any questions, hop on a zoom call, or speak to any specific needs you find important. No request is too small and I’m grateful for any and all details I can use to keep your animals feeling secure, loved, and cared for in your absence. I work full time at Shenandoah University as an Administrative Assistant in the Office of Global Engagement. My role is in-person on the main campus in Winchester. My routine hours are 9-5 with an hour lunch around 12 or 1. But, there’s a lot of flexibility, especially over the summer when the students are back home. My team is small and I am able to shift my hours when I communicate with them in advance (I.e. I’ll take 2 hours midday but clock in at 8, etc). Outside of work, my schedule largely centers around community and service work. I’m really involved with the recovery community and attend several meetings and events a week, although I can be flexible there too. Most days I’m up no later than 7 am and asleep by 11. But all these things can flex, depending on your and your pets needs. I live alone with a stray-turned-adopted cat named Luna. My place has a small fenced area in the back, enough room for a pup to potty but not much more. But I’m also about a half a mile from Jim Barnett Park and I love their walking trails and their dog park. I’d prefer to house sit at your house, but I’m open to certain scenarios if I can ensure your animal is comfortable in my space. Let’s talk about the details!

About: We provide a special touch of walks, wags and worry free pet sitting! From zoomies to cuddles we can match your fur babies energy level. Apple Pay,Venmo,Cash or in app payments welcome. We’re a meticulously organized couple which permits us a flexible schedule when caring for our fur babies. We’d love to extend the care to your fur babies as well! We recognize that each pet has their distinct personality and we like to honor that. Pelusa, our oldest cat, despite her age, carries a playful kitten soul so we like to dedicate extra stimulating play for her. Our youngest he likes to exert his energy by bird watching and running and jumping around so we’ve accommodated the house for his races since playing 1 on 1 with him does not captivate his curiosity. Just like that we can confidently say we love learning about our clients and their pets personality so we can make the best transition when caring for them that day and so everyone feels seen and included, even the little ones! We also understand pets can be very oriented to habits so we like to know what habits and/or rules you have for your pets so we can respect and abide to those as well!

About: I’ve been volunteering at my local animal shelter for the past two years, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. This experience has taught me how to recognize different temperaments, build trust with shy or anxious animals, and confidently care for energetic pets as well. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m a PA (Physician Assistant) student who absolutely loves animals and enjoys spending my free time caring for pets. My class schedule keeps me busy during the day on weekdays, but I’m available for early morning (before 7am) and evening visits (after 5pm) on weekdays, open on weekends, and many overnight stays. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn about their personality, preferences, and any special needs before each booking. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and house rules to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine.

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since elementary school, starting with walking my cousins' dogs and caring for them while they were away. I also have extensive experience with feline care, spent hours socializing with friends' cats, and dropped in to feed them when owners were out of town. I work from home and set my own schedule so I’m available for dog walks and cat drop-ins every day of the week from morning through afternoon. When caring for pets I like to follow exact instructions for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime since all pets have their own quirks. I always ensure the home is secure, clean, and locked up before I leave.

About: I have been dog sitting/ walking for several years. The most dogs I have handled at 1 time was 3. I own 2 small dogs myself how ever I have experience handling big dogs as well. I have experience administering medication. I work 4 days on 3 days off so I would love to provide care for your animals on the days I have off! I'm more than happy to help! I can take your dog on daily walks, I love hiking can take a well trained dog with me! i trained my own to go with me, they're great both on and off the leash. I love any and all dogs and would love to give yours pets and attention.

About: I have eight years of experience caring for cats. I absolutely adore cats, and having had a cat of my own for almost 10 years now, I know how beloved and valued they are by the families I help. Throughout my years of cat sitting, I have cared for cats of all ages, administered medications, cleaned multiple litter boxes, and, of course, entertained with cat toys! Your need for pet care is never a burden. I take true joy in having the opportunity to meet and care for new furry friends! I currently work as a fitness specialist and personal trainer in medical fitness, so I have full availability on the weekends and my schedule with training clients largely allows me to check-in on pets throughout the day. I am unable to keep cats in my home; however, I am happy to travel to clients' homes and stay overnight to provide care. In my previous experiences cat sitting, I often check-in multiple times daily throughout my work day and stay in the home each night. I provide drop-in or house-sitting services.

About: I’ve always loved caring for pets starting from when I was a kid growing up around them. In my teen years, I began pet sitting and walking dogs for neighbors and friends, gaining hands-on experience and learning what each furry friend needs to feel happy and safe. I’m dedicated to providing loving, trustworthy care, making sure every pet gets the attention and kindness they deserve while their owners can have peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule and can easily work around walking and sitting times, but I especially prefer weekend house sitting to give your pets the best care when you’re away. Walking is more flexible as I can do it everyday. With my experience, I’m prepared for any unexpected situations that might come up during pet sitting. I stay calm and trust my instincts to make sure your pet stays safe, comfortable, and cared for right in your home.

“Wonderful experience! She was great to work with—always prompt with communication and reliable. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands while I was away.”
