Cat Sitting Winchester

“Kimberly is absolutely awesome!! She came by the day before she was contracted just to meet my dog and go over any special needs or requests. Kimberly is genuinely a kind, sweet, caring person. I feel so comfortable having her take care of my Lulu. Her communication is so good. Sent pictures as well as messages about her visit and what all Lulu did. My new favorite person for Lulu!!❤️❤️”

“I am very happy with Christa! She did an amazing job with my pups. Bo and Sheena are very happy too. This was my first time using this service and I’m so happy that I found Christa. It’s not easy for me to leave my pups with anyone. Thank you Christa for being so kind and friendly to my pups. I will definitely be using these services again and request for Christa.”

“She did an excellent job with my two cats! I can tell they were well taken care of and were just as happy as I left them! No messes either, which was a first!”

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. The longest engagement was 6 weeks, but I normally do long weekends or week long jobs. 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!

“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.”

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 have had dogs my whole life and I have had a cat for the last 7 years. I am very good with animals and I love them very much. I have also babysat my own dogs when my parents go away as well as my aunts cats, and my neighbors dogs and cats. Since I've had many animals in my life, I know how to take care of them and I know how to tell what they need. I am in college but have many hours throughout the days that I am available and I am also free most nights (though I would need notice incase I make plans with friends) I am available all day on Mondays, available from 11-2 and after 5:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and available all day besides 2-4 on Wednesdays and Fridays. I am also available all day on weekends I would just need to know in advance due to plans. I will offer your pet lots of love and will do whatever is best for your pet! I can easily crate your dog and I love long walks and would be happy to go on one with your pet.

“Was nervous about trusting a stranger to care for our pets but Mariah was absolutely amazing with communication, meet and greet, and took great care of our cats. Will definitely use her again!”

Elizabeth D.

“Melissa was such a lifesaver! She helped us super last minute when a previous sitter fell through right before we left for a family reunion, and we couldn’t be more grateful she was there! Super flexible and communicative, Melissa took lots of adorable pictures and left detailed updates of each visit. And she was super sweet with our fur babies and loved on them so much! 100/10, will absolutely recommend and hire for her again! Thank you so so much Melissa!”
