“Kristan was a wonderful pet sitter! She was very attentive to my cats during her drop in visits - she made sure they were taken care of and also played with them! She sent daily pictures and updates of how they were doing and communicated with me frequently as needed. My pets took to her immediately and she was great with them, even my shy cat loved her! Definitely would recommend her services and will be using her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Caroline has taken care of my three cats several times now and is absolutely wonderful! All of my three, including my shyest cat, absolutely adore her. She’s communicative, timely, and reliable. No hesitation leaving town anymore when she’s around :)”
“Tomi was great at looking after my kitty while I was on a road trip. She was reliable and attentive, and worked in a little play time during her visits. She definitely earned my cat's trust over the course of the week, as she won't let just anyone pet her. Will definitely book again if Tomi is available next time I'm out of town.”
“I really appreciate Allysa being able to help me out in a pinch. The cats look well cared for, the litter boxes were taken care of, and she let me know every day when she was going to the house. Thank you from pearl, olive, brown, and Theo!”
“Was willing to go beyond standard care and did great with our Cat you had a peculiar inside outside living situation. She even went to check for Duchess's lost collar in the last know location (we have an air tag on it)”
“Arianna was great, our fur babies loved her! She was great at communicating, sending photos and asking questions to make sure they had excellent care while we were away. We’ll definitely ask for her help again!”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I have both puppy, senior, and handicap dog care experience relative to basic feeding, walking, and nurturing, all the way to administering medication 3x daily and even relieving the bladder of a paralyzed dog! During the evenings/nights I work as a commercial cleaner for various locations around Huntington and Barboursville including OVP Dentistry, Marshall's Big Green Foundation, and Ohio Valley Banks. I determine my own hours at my cleaning job, so my schedule and time are pretty flexible to accommodate your pet care needs. Please feel free to reach out with any inquiries regarding availability. I'm happy to work with you to assure a happy client and a happy pet! I will go above and beyond to cater to your pet’s needs and overall comfort. I have been the primary dog/cat sitter for various Marshall University professors and my care comes highly recommended.
About: Responsible and caring dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience raising and caring for my own German Shepherd since I was 9. Now almost 20, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, routines, and what it takes to keep pups happy and healthy. I’m dependable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether it’s a fun walk, some playtime, or just being a calm, friendly presence. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I have a completely open and flexible schedule this summer, as I’m taking online classes. I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting—morning, afternoon, or evening. Happy to work around your dog’s routine and needs! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are always my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality, preferences, and routines so they feel secure and at ease. I make sure they have plenty of fresh water, comfortable resting spots, and a peaceful environment free from hazards or stress. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and familiar. I always respect your space, treat it like my own, and give lots of love and attention to your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just good company, I’m always focused on creating a positive, trusting relationship with both pets and their people.
“Paige is awesome! She took care of our cat, two guinea pigs and our fish while we were out of town. She was very responsive and we would trust her to take care of our pets again! Our pets are our babies so having her watch over them was such a relief! Thank you!”
“Destiney and Ben are dreams to have care for your fur children. Very attentive, constant and consistent updates, very personal and professional, and supply many photos! Also very responsive to schedule changes and changes in the care my cats need (both of my cats have medical conditions, one has a prescription diet and needs medication). If I could give greater than five stars I would. Will definitely book again in the future”
“Carlee took great care of my cats while I was away on a trip! She was responsive and took lots of pics of my fur babies. I felt so relieved knowing my cats were with someone I could trust!!”
“This is the second time Christine dropped in on the cats and again we were so happy with the work she did. She sent updated pictures of all the cats each visit. The house and litter boxes were all clean when we came home. Would 10/10 recommend.”

He was professional, friendly, interested in my cat and provided clear information regarding the services he could provide. He arrived on time, gave updates on how the visits went and provided pictures. I will use Devin again.
