Anna was wonderful. This was a short notice, less than two weeks ahead booking. She graciously offered to come meet the dogs on her own time before we went out of town for 6 days. We have two dogs —one older with a hip problem and a younger very energetic dog. She Communicated very well. We had one dog that required oral medication twice daily and she had no issues. Would book again.

Jacqueline was prompt, communicative, and good with our pets with a variety of needs—not even to mention that she saved us from a last-minute cancellation. I wholeheartedly recommend her services and will contact her again if she’ll have us!

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.

Paige did a great job taking care of my Archie today! I was nervous since this was my first time using rover and Archie is recovering from a back injury, but Paige was very patient and careful with him. She did everything I asked and more which I couldn’t be more thankful for. She communicated with me well and eased my anxiety a bunch. I would definitely book with her again!

We really appreciated Devin taking care of our elderly dog, Lacy. We moved recently and she’s been under a lot of stress. I didn’t want to board her and add to the stress so we hired Devin. He came by to meet her and he was so attentive. We’ll definitely use Devin again soon!!

About: I provide dependable, attentive pet sitting and dog walking services tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My services include daily dog walks, drop-in visits, extended care, feeding, fresh water, medication administration if needed, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Walks are always adjusted to your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort—whether that means a brisk walk, a relaxed stroll, or extra time for sniffing and mental stimulation. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, which has given me a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior and care. I personally train my own pets and am comfortable reinforcing basic commands, leash manners, and positive behaviors during walks and visits. In addition, I have professional experience working in a dog boarding center, where I learned how to properly care for dogs in a group and individual setting, including feeding routines, cleaning, safety protocols, and bathing and grooming basics. My schedule allows me to be flexible and reliable for clients. I am able to dedicate meaningful, uninterrupted time to each visit and walk, ensuring your pet is never rushed and always receives proper attention. Whether you need regular weekly care, occasional help, or care while you’re away, I strive to be accommodating and dependable. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing professional, loving care while keeping pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to be very flexible with pet care throughout the day. I work until 2:30 PM, so my afternoons and evenings are fully available for walks, drop-in visits, extended care, and quality time with pets. This schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and accommodating to your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize consistency, exercise, and individual attention. I walk my dog a minimum of two times per day (on- and off-leash when appropriate) and ensure all pets get plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special care instructions closely, while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

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: I’ve had pets my entire life and adore them! Dogs, cats, and more. I’ve had experience of taking care of/ petting sitting my families pets for a few years. Love taking care of them <3 I have a very open schedule as a tattoo apprentice and I am free most evenings and mornings. I can fit pet sitting around my job. I have a fenced in yard and four sweet doggies. They are crate trained so they don’t get into stuff at night or while I’m away. I also have two cats who lay around on heated pads and live the spoiled good life. All of the animals get plenty of treats and spoilings! 🤭
