Cat Sitting in Bobtown

“Alaska was amazing! We just moved to the area and needed someone to come to our house daily to check on our cat. She was attentive, communicated with us every day and even went above and beyond by doing extra things for Charlie to ensure his needs were being taken care of. I will definitely be asking her to help take care of our “fur babies” in the future!!!”

“This review is quite different from what most Rover clients wrote. I haven't met Kira in person, but she replaced her older sister as my Rover sitter since the latter graduated from her university. So, Kira followed her sister's instructions on my cat and took several pictures of my cat.”

“Taylor did such a great job watching my two kitties!! She sent a lot of pictures and updates, was able to give my cat his eyedrops and medicine while I was away and it was comforting knowing they were in such good hands!”

“Bethany took good care of my daughter’s cats. The older cat requires insulin shot which she is able to give.”

“Josie has been taking our pups out on Mountaineer game days and it’s been a huge help!”

About: I have been caring for pets for the past three years, earning the trust of friends, family, and clients who rely on me to keep their pets safe. During this time, I have been working with Wag!, and since I recently moved, I am starting to work here as well. I have completed over 400 walks through Wag!, along with several sittings and boardings, leading to many repeat clients and happy pups. I am comfortable working with pets of all sizes and temperaments. In addition to my client-based pet care, I also work at Animal Friends Shelter, where I learn new things about quality care, medical needs, and behavioral needs every day. When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking with my dog and continuing my education. I am a member of Pet Sitters International, from whom I have received my insurance. They offer monthly courses focused on quality in-home pet care. I am saving up for their professional pet sitter certification and hope to complete all their coursework soon. Additionally, I am a supporting member of the IAABC Foundation, which is led by animal behaviorists and trainers. I am following some of their continuing education courses, combined with my hours working at the animal shelter, to earn their credentials in shelter behavior. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule and can change my availability as needed. I have a two person home with my husband who can also help out (for boarding in my personal home) if I had to leave for an emergency I live in a large house with an unfenced backyard and multiple safe areas set up for pet care. I have two cats and one dog in the home

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. I’ve provided everything from daily visits to extended overnight stays in clients’ homes, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. As a lifelong pet parent myself, currently to three cats (two young adults and one senior), I truly understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care. I also have hands-on experience administering medication and supporting elderly or special-needs pets, so you can rest assured they’re in good hands. I currently work part-time, which means I have plenty of time to give your furry friends the attention they deserve! I typically work evenings on weekends, but I’m fully available during the week and can also offer overnight stays any night of the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. I also provide lots of companionship and make sure they get plenty of exercise! For overnight stays, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the night to reduce any stress or separation anxiety.

“I couldn’t have asked for someone better than Payton. My cat is pretty picky about who she likes but instantly came up and was interactive with Payton. I was gone for about 2.5 weeks and I have absolutely no complaints. Further, it was easy to trust Payton with my key to my home and my cat. My apartment door lock even had a problem mid trip and Payton handled the situation very well. She gave me the best pics of my kitty daily while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have been house/pet sitting since I was 10 years old. Pet care, household chores, getting mail, lawn care… whatever you may need while away or at work! I am a grad student at WVU, so I make my own schedule. I am free all weekends and evenings, and can always check in/walk during lunch breaks! I must come to you, for I live in a small apartment. I believe pets deserve to be somewhere familiar while their family is away!

About: Hi! I’m Robyn, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs to curious cats and small critters, I treat every animal like family. I’ve provided pet sitting, walking, feeding, playtime, and medication support, always with a focus on safety, comfort, and joy. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet — and I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch sessions, or just quiet company, I’m here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy! Even with a full-time work schedule, your pets are my top priority. I carefully plan my days to make sure every fur baby gets the love, attention, and care they deserve — whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles. I’m committed, dependable, and passionate about making pets feel safe and loved, even when their humans are away. Your pet will feel right at home in a safe, loving environment! I offer a spacious, fully fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for playtime and fresh air. Whether your pet loves to run, sniff, or just relax in the sun, there’s plenty of room to do it all safely. They’ll also have a friendly, well-socialized dog to keep them company — my pup loves making new friends and is always up for a game of fetch or a good cuddle. With lots of love, supervision, and tail-wagging fun, your fur baby will be in great hands!

“Megan did a great job at keeping me at ease while being away from my cat. She kept me updated on how he was doing and I was so glad to see he warmed up so quickly to her. She extended her visits without a second thought when my plans changed.”

“Arabella was great! She was conveniently close to where I lived and was amazing with my pup Leo. She also was helpful and willing to clean his crate out when he had accidents. I know that’s expected/part of the job but still can not be fun obviously.”

About: I have had pets (cats and dogs) since I was 10 years old. I have also been able to dog and cat sit for my friends and family who go out of town I just finished school and am currently unemployed. I have lots of time to walk and play with pets and give them the care needed. As a drop in visitor I would come alone without other animals. I will complete all tasks asked of me and will provide safety to your pets.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old, volunteering at local shelters and helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all ages, including senior pets—my own pup is getting older, so I understand the patience and gentle care they need. I’m also comfortable with basic grooming tasks like bathing and brushing. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re family. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I’m currently out of school with open availability after 10 AM and on weekends. Even when school resumes in the fall, I’ll make sure pet care fits into my schedule. You can count on me to treat your pets with love and attention. I do not board pets in my home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in their own familiar environment. I offer in-home pet sitting, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day as needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, and I strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own.

About: I’ve watched dogs ever since I was 7 . Family dogs and friends dogs as well . I walked and picked up their waste I’ve fed and played with them. I have them baths and gave them any medication . I currently have semi open availability. I have a part time job at silver pet paw resort but other than that job I am free Make sure they get plenty of exersize and play time outside because I love to get the dogs out and have some fun instead of cooping them up in the house giving them water so they stay hydrated and also pick up any waste they may have outside.

“Emily was absolutely the best cat sitter! I had to keep changing my drop off and pick up times, and Emily was extremely flexible and gracious. She went above and beyond to make my cat feel comfortable. I hope she is available if I need a sitter again.”

Dianne H.

“Abby was amazing and I will definitely ask her again in the future. I received regular photos and updates and came home to a spotless house. Seeing my normally skeptical cat getting more and more comfortable and relaxed in the photos I could see he was having a great time with Abby.”
