“We’ve hired Kim a few times to feed and walk our dog. She is very reliable and friendly and takes great care of our dog. The Winchester community is lucky to have someone like Kim to look after our pets :)”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem – Like Family to Us and Maximus! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hannah—she’s not just a dog walker, she’s part of our family. Our dog Maximus is truly our baby (especially now that our kids are grown and out of the house), and knowing that Hannah cares for him with the same love and attention we do means the world to us. Hannah has been with us for over three months now, and in that time she’s become someone we fully trust with our most spoiled and beloved family member. She’s reliable, flexible with our crazy schedule, and always greets Maximus with affection and warmth. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Maximus absolutely adores her! She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels cared for when we’re not home, which gives us such peace of mind. We treasure Hannah and everything she does for our family. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, look no further. She’s truly one of a kind.”

“Lisette is great with my dogs! We have an older dog that she comes and walks and he loves it. We also just got a puppy and she has been coming over in the middle of the day to take him and our older dog on small walks and it’s been great!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, and I’ve had the pleasure of living with, and pet sitting for multiple cats and dogs. I’ve done both kitty and dog meds, so if you have a high maintenance fur child like me, I’ve got you covered!! If you trust me with your fur baby, I promise I will love them as much as I love my own!! I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility. Mornings are more difficult for me, but I can definitely work with you to find what’s best for the pets! My own pets are high maintenance, so I am definitely able to work with your pets needs. I crate my own dog, and give both my dog and cat meds and supplements. I don’t have any human children so my pets are my children. I will give your pet the love, attention, and care I give my own!!
“Myahrissa is fabulous! It’s really comforting to know my girl is in good hands when we have scheduled walks with her. I get the cutest pictures, detailed updates, and I always come home to a happy little wiggle butt of a dog. Every visit / communication feels as though she genuinely loves spending time with my girl as much as I do and as a pet parent, that’s all I could ever ask for.”

About: My name is Sadie. I am an 20 year-old, graduate student, at Shenandoah University. I love hanging around dogs, cats, or honestly any animal. I have been exposed to all types of animals from farm to regular housepets. I was raised living with a cat and taking care of chickens. I also would help out neighbors with watching their pets; started doing so around the age of 12. I have quite a few experiences under my belt with dogs ranging from 5 month olds through veterans. My dog is an American Pitbull Terrier and is now 3 years old. I love him and any animal I am responsible for with all I have. When I am home from school, I am more than likely open to any schedule. Most likely what works for you, will work for me! As of right now, I do have another part-time, low hour job and internship. Even with those two, I have plenty of free time to come help you with your pets! Your pets will be cared for by me just as much as you do for them. I am a hard worker who will always give 110% into caring for your pets. Whatever you ask of me to do, I will do my best to complete to your and your pets' satisfaction. I also will provide you with pictures and updates whenever your pets and I do anything.

About: What sets me apart is my presence and intention. I don’t rush walks or treat them like a checklist. I’m doing this because I genuinely miss having a dog in my daily life and want to build consistent time outdoors, which means your dog gets my full attention—not just exercise, but engagement and care. I’m naturally attentive, calm, and detail-oriented, so I’m very mindful of leash safety, surroundings, and your dog’s comfort level. I’m especially patient with shy dogs or those who need a slower, more relaxed pace, and I’m happy to follow any routines or preferences you have. While I may be newer to professional dog walking, I take reliability and communication seriously. I’ll keep you updated, respect your home, and treat your dog with the same care I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work nursing shifts three days a week, which gives me four open days where I’m not juggling another work schedule. On those days, I have the flexibility to plan my time around walks, drop-ins, and consistent routines rather than squeezing them in. Because of this structure, I’m able to be punctual, unrushed, and dependable. Since I primarily offer dog walking, my focus is on providing safe, attentive, and positive walks tailored to each dog’s needs. I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level, walking style, and any preferences you have before we head out, while also paying close attention to leash safety, pacing, and surroundings In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, detail-oriented, following all instructions closely. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is cared for with the same attention and care I’d want for my own.
“Thanks Alyssa. When we are walking Tucker and I always stop and let people walk past. Just to keep everyone at ease. Not all dogs are as friendly as our boy. Tucker was acting out of respect.”

“My dog is very cautious around new people and Shaghayegh has been wonderful with him! She has taken time to get to know his quirks and listened carefully to all recommendations and instructions I have given her in regards to and how to deal with his shyness. She clearly loves dogs and really makes an effort to make their experience enjoyable when they are with her. I highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is my depth of experience and adaptability! I’ve been house-sitting and providing full-time pet care for several years, both short- and long-term, in a wide variety of homes, from apartments to multi-animal properties. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs, including puppies, seniors, and animals requiring medications (like ear and eye drops, pills, and ointments) or special routines. I have hands-on experience with cats and dogs of all ages, so I’m confident following detailed care instructions for many species. Because I often stay in the home while caring for pets, I prioritize consistency, cleanliness, and communication. I maintain pets’ normal routines, keep homes well cared for, and provide regular updates so owners can travel with peace of mind. I’m calm, observant, and proactive; if something seems off, I notice quickly and act responsibly. Above all, I treat every pet as an individual and every home with respect. My goal is always for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their humans are away! I work remotely Monday through Friday, typically from 9 AM–5 PM, which allows me to be home with pets throughout the day rather than away at an office. My work is flexible, so I can easily schedule walks, feedings, medication, playtime, and check-ins around pets’ routines. I’m able to take brief breaks during the day for potty breaks, enrichment, and companionship, and I’m fully available in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. For house-sitting stays, I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure. Because I’m often in the home, pets get consistent supervision, attention, and care, not just quick drop-ins. I’m happy to adjust my routine for puppies, seniors, or pets with special needs. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and routines stay consistent. I do not offer care in my own home. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all written and verbal care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and household rules. I keep doors, gates, and enclosures secure, monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health, and address issues promptly and responsibly. I maintain a clean, calm environment, respect each home as if it were my own, and ensure pets are supervised appropriately based on their age, temperament, and needs. I’m experienced with multi-pet households and mixed species and take extra care to manage interactions safely. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets and home are in good hands while they’re away.
About: I’ve been around both cats and dogs since I was a baby. From my first cat, Deedle, and my famous boxer, Satch, I love the companionship animals bring. I recently had to put down my best friend, Sadie; a black lab/chow mix that I adopted when she was 6 months old and I was 19 (I’m 37). I’m not allowed to have dogs in my complex so I take every opportunity to be around them when I can. I’ve never run into a dog (or cat) that didn’t have an instant bond with me, so this opportunity is perfect for all of us. I’m currently in between jobs and am located in a very accessible place. For the time being, I’m readily available to take care of your furry family. Animals are usually drawn to me, so I have no problem giving them the attention they need and deserve. I’ve also gotten very good at reading them, so for those that like their space, I just make sure to be available and that they are taken care of if anything is needed.
“Alex has been great with our dogs! He goes above and beyond and our dogs do so great with him! I would definitely recommend Alex. He has a great attitude and works well with different breeds. We have a pitbull and an Australian Shepherd, and they really love Alex and look forward to their time with him!!”

“Meghan is amazing! My 6 year old mini golden doodle never had a babysitter she didn’t know previously, and I was so nervous going out of town and leaving her. Meghan was so responsive and professional- I felt so much more at ease after talking with her! I got photos of their walk together and it made me so happy to see my dog having so much fun!”

Kim is great! She walked, visited, and played with my sweet boy who had to stay home when I went to work. He has separation issues (he’s a rescue) and having her visit gives me peace of mind. She sends me pictures and updates that makes me feel happy knowing he’s getting a visit from Kim!
