Cat Sitting in Wingmead

About: I’ve been pet sitting for several years and have always had a dog in my house since I was 4. I even volunteer at the SPCA in my free time at college. I know how to safely walk, play, and take care of a dog. I’m working part-time this summer, so I will be free many days and would love to help you out! I only work at night so most days I will be completely free. I know how to handle dogs on a leash and how to care for them safely and effectively. I’ve always had a dog of my own so I have lots of experience in ensuring their safety at all times.

“Both our girls are very shy, so I don't think Elizabeth ever saw them or played with them. But it was so nice to know someone was coming in each day to be with them and they weren't alone in the house all day.”

“Carolyn did a great job looking in on our 5yo boxer.”

“Thank you so much for taking time to spend with Maggie. She loves people and it is a blessing to have you come and spend time with her!!”

Renee K.

“Everything from the meet and greet to the drop in visits were well communicated and she was so nice. I felt so comfortable my whole visit away and got the best updates and pictures. Will use again. Thank you!”

“Shannon was wonderful with our pets. We have a very wacky dog that she was so patient with. She paid attention to all of our cats, and even got our most shy ones to let her pet them. She was careful and attentive to our Crested Gecko as well. She provided thorough updates every visit, and the pictures made us confident our pets were being well taken care of. We would absolutely book Shannon again to care for our family while we’re away!”

About: I've been around dogs since I was 5 years old. I have walked, played with, fed, cleaned up after them having accidents when they are older or as a puppy. I've cared not only for mine but also friends dogs while they are out of town. We has a puggle for 15 years, which passed away. Looking for a way to be with animals and get that interaction and loving in with your member of the family. That's how all of our animals were that I've had, they are family. Let me help make your time away from your precious family member be much more relaxed by knowing that he or she is being well taken care of. I send photos to my friends of their dogs when they are gone, so they know that they are doing fine and it makes them happy to see their dogs too. Look forward to meeting you! I currently work part time, so I had plenty of time to care for your pets. Just let me know how I can help make your time away from them easier. Our kids are grown and out of the house too, so have plenty of love to pour into your loved one. I am a nurse by profession, so know how to care for others and I'm no stranger to caring for older animals as we had a 14 year old cat and a 15 year old dog that we loved and cared for their whole lives and will continue to miss them for the rest of ours.

“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”

“We had such a great experience with Mark! He was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring with our pets. From the start, they made us feel at ease with thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins, which really helped while we were away. Our pets were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when we returned — always a great sign. You can tell Mark truly loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive Rover sitter.”

“Amanda was Amazing! She was prompt and thorough. We enjoyed the videos and pictures of our kitty cats while on our Cruise. We will be repeat customers. Thanks so much and Happy Holidays 🎄🎅”

Lisa L.

“Katie was wonderful! She provided drop in visits for our dog. She provided lots of updates, was very communicative, and just wonderful to work with. Highly recommend Katie!!”

“My dog had the best time with Kristin on his snowy walk! She sent pictures and he’s sufficiently worn out 🙂”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, growing up in a family that always had two dogs. As the eldest, I naturally took on a lot of the responsibility, feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning up, helping with training, and of course giving plenty of love and playtime. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for neighbors’ dogs and cats, always making sure to follow their instructions carefully so each pet feels comfortable and cared for just the way their family would want.😊 Working from home gives me the flexibility to be fully present for your pets throughout the day. I naturally take breaks often, which I love to spend playing, walking, or giving them attention so they feel happy and cared for. Since I can bring my work with me, I’m also able to stay in your home as long as needed; making sure your pets have company, comfort, and consistent care without ever feeling alone. When I care for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar space. I follow your routines closely so everything feels consistent for them. Since I work from home, I can spend plenty of time with your pets, giving them attention throughout the day. My goal is to treat them like family and make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and never feel alone.

About: Hey there! I'm Alyn and I absolutely LOVE spending my free time with pets!! I adore both cats and dogs and have over 10 years of experience caring for many pet personalities. With my own pets, I've cared for senior pets, dogs with special medical needs, reactive dogs (my current baby), anxious cats, and playful puppies. I've also worked at an animal shelter, where | provided care, walks, and enrichment to the dogs there. I learned so much about dog/cat body language, care, health, training, and even went on to teach this to children at their educational summer camps! I'd love to be your dog's best friend and make sure they have a safe and amazing time with me while you're away! I currently have ample availability to take on new clients and provide consistent services! I'd love to help with dog walks, drop-ins, and any other care that you need! Typically the earliest I start is 9am and the latest around 8-9pm. Need a bit earlier/later? Reach out! I'd love to work with you! The safety of your pets is of outmost importance to me and I pride myself in providing a safe and appropriate environment at all times. When in a client's home, I'm always sure to be mindful and adhere to the instructions agreed on prior. Rest assured your pets will be treated just as they are when you're there...well, perhaps a bit more spoiled: P

“Farah always does a great job with my 2 cats and I feel reassured while on vacation knowing they’re getting the best care! My super shy cat loves her a lot.”

“Kayla and Demitrius were awesome. They took great care of our four cats over the long holidays. In fact, they really went above and beyond by also feeding a stray cat we've been looking after - they didn't have to do thar but they truly are animal lovers. Our littlest cat is naturally very suspicious but even he had warmed up to them by the end of the holiday. We will definitely reach out to them first every time we need cat sitters.”

About: I've been around animals since before I could walk, and have always had a way with them. My family and I lived in a trailer park when I was little. My mother always said from the moment I was born the animals flocked to me and there was no animal I couldn't get my hands on. My sister and I used to play with the stray cats outside of Grandpa's house. Pop would always mention how the cat we were holding would never let anyone close enough. Mom would often find "miss kitty in my crib with me. As I got older miss kitty passed away, but had left behind some kittens in her stead. Mom had decided to keep one and named him pudgy. He was a long hair black cat with the tiniest bit of white on his underbelly. I can remember running up and down the hallway and tap my shoulder as if trying to play tag with my sister and I. Pudgy and I had been the best of friends for about 18 years, till his passing. During the years he and I were together, he would often come running anytime he heard me sniffle or begin to cry. There were many other animals that we had over the years as well. Dogs, chickens, goats, rabbits, rodents, amphibians, horses they've been a vital part of my life. But no matter what I always come back to many best friend and the furry felines. If you're looking for a caring, detail oriented, and experienced fur sitter/walker, look no further. From feathered birds no bigger than your hand, to strong horses, I've handled just about anything. While I am new to this app, I am no stranger to animals. Wether they are young babies or older seniors, I would be more than happy to care for your pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and I hope to hear from you soon. I am currently working on getting my EVOC certification for Royal Medical. I will not have my updated schedule until after March 29. When I watch pets I do generally have my 5 yo with me. Availability -pending I have a dog pen out back and a cable that we use with our dogs fairly frequently when the weather is nice. I also have a play pen that the pups play in.

About: I’ve been passionate about animals since I was child, caring for our family and neighbors pets, rescuing wounded critters, volunteering at the local SPCA, and playing with all furry (or not), creatures! I am very active and can walk for miles! I am responsible, dependable, and will provide exceptional service! I work part time with a flexible schedule. I don’t travel for work and I have my own transportation which can accommodate multiple pets of all shapes and sizes. Currently, our family doesn’t own any pets and I miss that interaction! I have a fenced in back yard and live in a neighborhood full of side walks and walking trails with lots furry friends to play with!

About: I am an animal lover! I have grown up with dogs and taking care of other people's animals. I have a beagle and a Siberian husky that I adore and spend all of my free time with. My beagle's name is Ben and he is 7 years old. My husky's name is Bear and he is 4 years old. I have spent a lot of time over summers dog sitting where I spent the night in the homes and cared for the dogs throughout the day. I know how to get animals to listen and how to be patient when they are struggling to do this. I can be very flexible with bookings and am ready to provide the type of care that your pets may need.
