Dog Walking Winchester

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.”

“I used Kim for the 5 months I was in Virginia as a traveler. She was absolutely amazing! My boys just fell in love with her. If I’m ever that way again, I will definitely be booking her!”

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!!

“Allison was amazing. Our dog, Katie loved her. She Loved her walk/runs. Great communication. Was flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend her. Thank you.”

About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember. I have had both dogs and cats and love them both equally. I have cared for pets for both family members and friends. I've watched all types of animals with many different personalities. On top of pet sitting, I have fostered multiple litters of kittens, which has taught me patience and attentiveness. In my free time, I also enjoy volunteering at a local rescue to help walk dogs. I understand the hard work, attention and love that goes into managing any kind of animal, and I am willing to do just about anything to make sure that your pet feels loved and safe. I am a grad student who only has in person classes on Tuesday typically 8am - 4pm, which makes me very flexible for the rest of the week. I am very conscious about safety when it comes to walk, and/or letting dogs out in a fenced in area. I am sure to read any instructions before hand to learn about any issues individual pet needs.

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.

About: I have been caring for friends and neighbors dogs, cats, and small animals since i was 13. I also volunteer at the PWC Animal Shelter! i am a freshman music major at shenandoah university. i have a decent amount of availability to care for your pets every day. i have a pretty relaxed schedule. i have lots of experience with pet care and your animals will have my full attention throughout the visit. i make sure to provide your pets with adequate enrichment and play and overall care.

About: At Pet Penthouse, we provide the same loving care your pets get at home. Located in the sole penthouse at the top of the Dominion Square office building, a quiet, safe, and exclusive environment is provided for your pet. Having grown up on a farm, I have a deep love for animals and an innate ability to bond with them, reducing their stress and making them feel at home. My schedule offers the flexibility to meet your needs and shower your pet with attention. What you can expect • Complete peace of mind: I completely understand the stress of leaving a family member behind. I am committed to providing exceptional care and regular updates about your fur-baby while you're away. • Meticulous care and attention to detail: Your pet's well-being is my top priority. I pay close attention to their health and behavior, noticing small changes that might signal an issue. This includes being vigilant on walks and handling any special diets. • Routine and consistency: I meticulously follow your pet's normal routine, from feeding and medication schedules to exercise and play habits. House rules, like keeping pets off the furniture, are respected because consistency is key to reducing your pet’s stress. Pet sitting isn't a side gig for me—when I am taking care of your baby, that is my sole focus. I have a flexible schedule so I am able to ensure your pet's routine is maintained and I can accommodate last-minute requests. When caring for a pet, I treat them like family, giving them full attention and making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy until you returns. You can relax knowing your fur-baby is in loving, capable hands. I have established a safe environment by pet-proofing our home by securing toxic substances and small, dangerous items. I will ensure dogs are on a leash when outside. I am always prepared to adjust activities based on weather conditions to protect the pet from heat, cold, or storms.

“Charissa has been great to work with! Glad we found her.”

“Alexsys is awesome. Communicative, thorough, and sends me all the updates and photos I need when I’m away. She even sent a picture of my porch kitty!”

“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: Everyone calls me when they need a reliable and dedicated pair of hands to watch over their children. Yes, I treat every dog like a furry child. I've helped raise dogs from 6 weeks to 16 years old. The young and the old need a little more attention and I'm happy to help. Those terrible 2's just need extra attention, and I'm happy to provide that too! I love all animals and will probably treat the kids like royalty. I prefer the company of dogs than my friends, they could vouch for that! I'm both loving and also stern because I've raised both labs and pitties. They require different types of parenting techniques, and I am equipped to handle anything. I work full time, Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. I'm happy to use my work breaks to check on animals for those who need the extra attention. My availability will be based around my work and my 2 kiddos at home. I can adjust weekly routines to incorporate pickup/drop offs, stop in visits, after work walks, or overnight stays. I treat dogs like they are our kids. I talk to them, I cuddle with them, and I use positive reinforcement to train good habits. I've helped raise a dozen dogs and each dog likes to show you how they like to be treated. I learned this lesson the hard way when I was raising dogs and had to learn different techniques to train each of them individually. Labs learn and function much different than bulldogs and pitbulls. I treat each dog the same regardless of size or attitude. Though I may give them some attitude when mouth off, like I do with my pitty at home (lol). I'm a safety first kind of person when it comes to our kids. So I tend to lean on the side of caution and extra equipment when interacting with most dogs. I always keep extra dogs supplies in my truck at all times as I have been known to that guy who stops traffic to try to rescue a dog. I've done this probably 6 or 7 times.

“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

“After 16 years, we finally decided to try a dog walker with our dog. We couldn't have picked a better person to trust her with! After meeting Meghan we felt very confident with her taking care of Lily. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I have owned and trained dogs most of my life, grew up on a farm with all types of pets and find it second nature to treat them like family. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can house sit, drop in or stay with your pet as long as you need someone. My dog has a fenced in yard and is at day care for socialization M-F so I can have my full attention on your dog. I currently work from home part time so I have plenty of time for your pet! I am awake early and have a flexible schedule to fit yours. I make sure you and your pet are comfortable with me and follow instruction when caring for your pet. You know your pet best and I want them to be happy and content with me.

About: I have been an animal lover & owner my entire life. I've always had a dog along with the occasional hamster, cat, guinea pig, lizard, hermit crab, rabbit, bird & fish. I love animals especially dogs. I am very comfortable with large breed dogs as well as smaller dogs too. I like to think the bigger the dog the more loves & cuddles you get.🥰 I've volunteered for rescues over the past 10 years & have fostered both dogs & cats. I'm very excited to meet new animals and their owners. I currently have 1 dog & 3 cats. I try to stick to your animal's schedule so they continue with their normal routines. I make sure your animal is given lots of attention & play time. I will show your animal affection & lots of play time & snuggling if they enjoy that. I've never met a dog that hasn't liked me....big or small.

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!

“Kayla is so awesome! She’s professional and great with my dog. Her cancellation policy is flexible too which is super helpful. Highly recommend Kayla as a dog walker!”

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. ❤️

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.
