About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve handled it all—walks, feedings, medications, and lots of cuddles. I treat every pet like family and take time to learn their unique needs and routines. Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight care, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I’m available most weekends and some evenings during the week. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets great care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced-in yard, a pet-friendly home, two gentle kids, a sweet dog, and a calm cat. Pets are treated like family here!

About: I have more than a decade experience caring for pets from puppy to senior. I'm comfortable administering medication and can make accomodations for maximum comfort. My home sits on the Coal River and provides a serene setting for your pup's stay. I'm currently working part-time which allows me the availability to play with your pup and take for walks. Booking three days in advance is preferred. When I'm away, the dogs have plenty of toys for play and soft places to nap while doggy TV is on. I have a good sized fenced yard and pet friendly sunroom and family room and two friendly dogs that can play with your pup! We have a gravity water bowl and can follow any special feeding instructions. There are two cats in the home. There is a self-service dog wash in town we can use if ever needed in a muddy situation and you feel comfortable with me transporting your dog in my car.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals and would be called many peoples go-to animal watcher when they go out of town! I also am training an ESA animal! I work full time, but I am always free in the evenings. If your dog can hangout alone while I’m at work then I will be perfect for you! I will follow all instructions from the owner and make sure they get updates on their furry friend! I will crate them when I leave the home if that’s what you want and will make sure they have pottied before I leave your home.

About: I’ve been a huge animal lover my whole life & am currently in college earning my Associates Degree to become a Vet Technician. No matter the service I provide, I always make sure to treat your pets like my own. I have next to no preference in breed or age, & I would prefer to stay away from XL dogs, but I will still provide services for XL dogs. I’m patient with puppies & senior dogs, I can adhere to your pets needs, & I can keep your pet out of trouble! If you’re looking for someone who is going to be as attentive to your pets as you are yourself, look no further! I look forward to hearing from you! I’m not employed & a student with a flexible, at my own pace schedule for college, I have lots of time for pet care & such! I’ll be sure to assume your pet’s routine as best I can! I can assure you they’ll be more than well cared for & comfortable!

“I contacted Chelsea last minute and she was so understanding and cooperative. She sent me pictures all weekend and kept me updated (even when I forgot to check in one day). Harley loved her and is so tired from playing that she’s been sleeping for hours. I definitely recommend Chelsea and will absolutely be a returning customer! ?”


About: I am emergency room nurse looking for something little more relaxed. I use to travel and I am looking to do pet sitting and walking as part time thing. I have four animals in my home at this time, 3 cats and 1 dog. I’m currently working part time in the emergency room. I am looking to grow in passion I have as taking care of animals. I would only be taking care of your pets on days I don’t have other obligations. As I hope this grows maybe I could increase my availability I have a fenced in yard in Saint Albans. There is outdoor cameras in my yard as long as my main living space in my home.

About: i have taken care of dogs for about 3-4 years now , mainly my parents and my own dogs , i’ve dealt with australian shepherds , german shepherds, boxers , and blue healers! i am currently not working , so i’m available at anytime during the week for some dog walks , check ins , and even boarding! i have an unfenced yard , but our australian shepherd loves it , she’s always outside and enjoying running around , and has plenty of toys she loves to tear up!

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own. They will get a lot of attention because I focus on them to learn their behavior, quirks and what they try to relay to me; I’m always watching and listening to them. Many clients have told me they tell their pets that I will be coming and they get super excited. I’ve been told they see a difference in them when I do a drop in visit to break up their day. I will also send you pictures of your adorable baby. Your pet will thank you for having me take care of them. My job is to make them happy and Content, I will do everything in all my abilities to do just that! Pet sitting is my full time job. Sometimes it feels as if I work 24 hrs a day. I wouldn’t change a thing, I love taking care of all the fur babies, giving them lots of love, pets, kisses and hugs (if they like it) Doors are never opened without making sure they are secure and on leash. I’m very detailed in their care and their safety at all times.

Sheridan N.
“Sheridan was one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had. She really cares about the animals and it shows. She sent me pictures everyday and text me to let me know how my fur babies were doing. Sheridan went up and beyond what I asked of her. I felt completely comfortable with them being in her care. I always stress when I’m away but she made sure to keep in contact with me and she made sure to abide by my dogs routines. I will definitely be using her again. My dogs didn’t even want to come home!!”


Matthew T.
“In everything Matthew does, he loves with his whole heart. This is no different with the way he loves animals. He has been around animals his whole life and he made it a personal goal to adopt when he knew he was ready to become a pet 'parent'. His love and energy for his cat Winnie and his dog Max is contagious and so sweet. Anyone in the room with Matthew and his animals can tell his love and can't help but have a smile on their face watching their interactions.”
