Dog Sitting Winchester

About: I have been around dogs majority of my life from puppy to senior. I have two dogs medium to larger dogs at home and have watched smaller dogs overtime. I am currently a college student athlete with free time during the day and night. I am very flexible with my schedule and pretty open on the weekends. I tend to be home from classes around 2-3:30pm. At home, my dogs are on shock collars because we have an open backyard that backs up to the woods. But I have also took care of several dogs that had fenced in backyards where they can freely roam.

“Alyssa is so amazing with the pups, and I'm very grateful for her professionalism.”

“Mayahrissa is an excellent pet sitter. From our first meeting I could tell she really cares about animals and although I was a little nervous leaving my 3 month old puppy with a sitter for the first time, I immediately trusted Mayahrissa. During her visit, she followed all the care directions and sent me lots of pictures. My dog really likes her. She has a calm demeanor which puts pets at ease. I highly recommend her.”

“It was terrific working with Maya. Our pups our a bit on the older side and have additional needs to manage (e.g. meds, etc.). Would work with her again in the future.”

About: Since I can remember I’ve always had a pet whether it’s dogs, cats, or reptiles. Currently I take care of two dogs, Sugar (boston terrier, female) and Peanut (pitbull, female), as well as my cat Domino (male). I am very passionate about wildlife as I have a degree in Environmental Science/Biology and have hands-on experience with various animal species from working two seasons at the Pittsburgh zoo and Aquarium. I also have worked at a Humane Society, providing hands-on care and enrichment for dogs and cats. I have learned so much about behavior and medical care than before which I have applied to my daily life as well as my care for Rover. This has also provide me with experience with a variety of personalities, breeds, and sizes. I always treat every animal with respect and patience. I am confident I can provide any care for your beloved pets! I currently work full-time at an animal center; however, I am available to house sit and take care of your pets in the morning before and after work. I make it a top priority to go straight to the house to provide care. My days off rotate around so I could be off during a week day and work on the weekends, all depends on the particular schedule for the week. Feel free to ask about my schedule, I am open and commutative! It is really important for me to be communicative and build trust. I will always be able to send pictures or do anything to make you comfortable with me staying in your home. It’s also important to get to know the pet and what they like to provide the best care. I follow instructions carefully. At home, I play with my dogs outdoors and indoors, make them lick mats, go on walks, and of course, nap!

“Mya is a great help and takes the best photos!”

“We had a family emergency and had to leave our Dog Piff at home and Shaghayegh was amazing! She really went above and beyond for my family and made sure our dog was taken care off. She let us know before and after she left and always sent pictures everyday! I would 100% use her again!”

About: Hey there my name is Allison and I am a huge animal lover! I will love on your fur babies while you are gone and make sure they have what they need! As someone that has every pet but a dog of her own and has always wanted one, I will completely take advantage of the time I get with yours! I am comfortable with whatever is in need feeding, walks, backyard play, even just hanging out at the house and keeping your animal company! I have experience with a wide range of animals and I will make sure your needs are met! I am so excited and looking forward to meeting you and your sweet fur baby! Whatever animal comes my way I will make sure they are taken care of!

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).

“Isabella we as BEST! She communicated from the start and we were able to work out the best schedule. She sent cute pictures and videos of my girls (two cats) every time she visited and kept me up to date on their shenanigans. The girls are happy and healthy. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

About: I love both cats and dogs and have had them my whole life! Today, I have a 4-year-old Shiba Inu that I rescued. I was given a Tuxedo cat for my fourth birthday and we got a Husky mix when I was around 10. I fed them and walked and played with them my whole childhood. When I was in college, I started fostering animals— both cats and dogs— for years on end. Some of the animals needed eye drops and oral medication which I helped administer. I even helped my mom adopt one of the cats I fostered! I promise to love and care for your pets as if they are my own! I work remotely from 2-10pm on Tuesdays-Saturdays! I’m best fit for mid-day, morning or late night walks and I am free for all-day/ overnight care on Sundays and Mondays. If I am able to work remotely from your house, I could also potentially work weekdays and weekday night. I can play with your pet and take your dog on long walks! I also have treats and toys at my disposal that I can share (per permission from the owner of course!)

“Easy to work with and very responsible”

About: Hi my name is Jose Alfredo and I can be very laid back and socially outgoing with a fun and friendly personality! I love being around friendly pets and I was a previous cat owner for 4 years. I also used to share my place with my close friend and his dog of 3 years who I helped care for many times. I have other family members and friends who have pets as well and I have been around them long enough to love and know me. I have spent a lot of time around other people's dogs most of my life and have great experience with both dogs and cats. Being around other people's pets over time has given me the opportunity to know and understand different dog and cat personalities and each ones individually unique needs and traits. Book me and I will walk your dog, feed it, play with it and make sure it has gone to the bathroom. I will tend to your cats' need as well and make sure it's fed, hydrated and help maintain it's litterbox's cleaniliness and given lots of attention! I am also willing to help with small house chores like taking out the trash, bringing the bin to the front, watering your plants or any other simple house duties for no extra charge! At the moment I will go to you to take care of your pet in your home so you don't have to worry about putting your pet in a new environment it's not used to. I will make sure everything in your home is as tidy as before I even arrived. As long as you can provide me with the proper details and instructions about your pets' needs, where things are and how to get in and out of the house, then I promise you everything will be done as requested. As a way of building trust, we will arrange to do a proper meet and greet at your home or a public place like the park. This is so me and your pet can get familiar with each other, earn trust between owner and sitter, and have comfortability and assurance that your pet and home will be in good hands. Thank you for choosing me to care for your pets! I am currently flexible with availability for most days of the week as I do not have any other full time job at the moment. However, I currently am a student studying full-time and sometimes get involved in campus events, extracurriculars, and other student organizations. So Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm typically more busy with classes. But as long as the requested time works around my schedule and classes then we can make it work and I can be available whenever I am not spending time on campus. I do prefer to be notified at least 3 days in advance for requests but I am also willing to take up to same day bookings as long as I am completely free for that day, but it is not guaranteed. But please do try to reach out and book with me in advance at first if possible. I also prefer to schedule a meet and greet prior to accepting booking requests for new first time clients. But I will be more than happy to work with you so I can make a new furry friend if we are a great fit for each other! I used to play with my roommate's dog every day and feed him or take him outside to potty when the roommate was not around or unable to. I play ball with his dog, tug of war and give him belly rubs. His dog is also very attached to me as I am to him. I also was a cat owner for 4 years who I took care of every day from feeding him to ckesning his litterbox and playing with him. I hope to form this same kind of relationship with your pet!

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.

“She’s Fantastic! My dog loves her! She very reliable and flexible! She was very helpful when I booked the wrong time and changed her visit time last minute!”

About: I’ve had my dog since 2015, he’s an 80lbs big baby. I’ve also taken care of friends dogs in the past, letting them out, giving medication. I can be available just about any time between 7am and 6pm Monday through Friday. I also have a flexible schedule so with a little notice I could come earlier or later. I have a fenced in yard, and I have a big baby (lab mix) of my own, however I would prefer to care for your pet in your home.

“Erin was super helpful looking after my cat Mittens. I had a seamless experience introducing her to Mittens and had confidence that her drop in would go off without a hitch. She was very responsive, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to having her as my go to sitter in the future!”

About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always had pets of my own. I worked as a kennel technician for 2 years and later as a veterinary technician for almost 2 years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. My background means I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness, administering basic medications, and providing calm, attentive care. While I’m no longer working in a clinic setting, the knowledge and experience I gained continue to guide how I care for every pet. I treat every animal like they’re my own — with patience, love, and close attention to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or just quiet cuddles, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy while you’re away. I work during the week, so I primarily book weekends to give pets my full attention. When in my care, your furry friend gets walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love — all on a schedule that keeps them happy and comfortable. ❤️ I am available for drop ins/ walks during the week around lunch time and Fridays for boarding after 5pm! I treat every pet like family. Whether in my home or yours, they get a safe, cozy space, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I follow their routine and give updates so you know they’re happy and comfortable. ❤️

“Casey is fantastic with our two dogs! Highly recommend.”
