“Greyson was great with our dogs! He came for a visit ahead of time and took lots of notes and asked great questions. I felt very comfortable leaving them and the house in his care. Our dogs have different feeding instructions and one usually will not eat if we leave. Greyson was able to follow the instructions easily and said that our anxious dog did not skip a meal - so I could tell my dog was comfortable with him. He sent several pictures and was very responsive if I texted to check in. He left the house very tidy. I definitely recommend him and will use him again.”
About: I’ve looked after animals since I was two years old. Growing up on a small farm in Ohio, I learned to care for an array of species. From goats and guinea pigs to dogs and cats, they all hold a special place in my heart. I have experience taking care of all ages, young and old, as well as animals with special needs. Now that I am pursuing a degree and live in Morgantown, I pet sit for friends as well as care for my own cat, Kodak. I’m excited to expand my pet care services to the community of Morgantown and provide quality care for your fur babies! I’m currently working part-time as well as in school full-time, so weekends work best for me! I’m available to pet sit most weekends, but I can normally be flexible with weekdays as well. On weekends, I’m able to spend the majority of the day with your pets to ensure they receive all the love and attention they need while you’re away. I can stay overnight if that is needed as well. I can easily crate dogs if requested and follow your care directions to the t!
“Synene is a wonderful sitter! She watched my 11 year-old dog for a few days and stayed over nights. Very responsive and attentive and from the photos, my dog looked like she had a blast. Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter/dog walker. Thank you, Synene!”
“Amber does a fantastic job watching Archie. She is punctual, communicates well, and has very good intuition about what is best for him. The weather has been very hot and she has appropriately gotten him time outside when able, then made him come inside before he gets too warm. I highly recommend booking her!”
“Skyler was fantastic with my 3 very hyper and needy doodles! She was accommodating to the days and times I needed her. She sent a photo of them and they all looked so happy. She came over to meet them beforehand. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Dogs absolutely loved her! She sent several updates a day and kept them well loved and happy while we were away. Always very easy to reach and did good with their medicines at night.”
About: Hi! I’m a 30-year-old nurse and proud beagle mom to my sweet 5-year-old girl. As someone who works long shifts in healthcare, I truly understand how important it is to have reliable, loving care for your pets when life gets busy. That’s why I’m offering drop-in visits for pets in the nearby area, helping give fellow pet parents peace of mind. My schedule can vary, so I kindly ask for 1–2 weeks’ notice to coordinate visits around my work shifts. I’m also open to overnight house sitting depending on availability—we can chat to see what works best! On my days off, I love getting outside and would be happy to take your pup for a walk on a nearby trail—possibly even alongside my own friendly beagle, if you’re comfortable with that. She’s great with other dogs and would love the company! Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a relaxing walk, or some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help care for them like one of my own. my schedule changes weekly, so my availability is variable. I’m primarily available for drop-in visits close to home on my days off, and I kindly ask for 1 to 2 weeks’ advance notice whenever possible to help me plan ahead. I’m open to overnight stays after building trust and familiarity with clients, but those will depend on my work schedule. I also occasionally travel, so consistent communication is appreciated for long term planning. I do not provide in-home boarding or care at my own home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I’m always respectful of your space and your pet’s needs.
“Abby was amazing with my dog Jackson. She was super friendly, and she sent the best pictures of Jackson while we were on vacation. She’s excellent at communicating with the host, and she is also super understanding. I highly recommend, and I hope to work with her again in the future!”
About: From Rottweiler to Boston Terriers, I grew up and have experience with dogs both large and small. I absolutely LOVE being outside (maybe as much as your doggy!) and would enjoy going on a hike together! Nurture in nature. Get out and play, and enjoy the day! I know lots of trails and spots your companion would love! Or we can chill at my house, I've got a fenced in yard and a super comfy couch (come on, let's watch a movie together)! Or maybe your pooch is a homebody? We can hang out on your couch too! Upfront and honest, I have very little experience with cats. I can give food and water. As for creepy crawly reptiles and amphibians, sorry.. I'm not the right fit for ya! I've got years of canine experience and basic common sense. I strive provide to worry-free care. Your best friend deserves a great day to relax and enjoy. My goal is to create a trust and bond between myself, pet, and owner. Over time, being a reliable friend to call in a time of need. I bake doggie treats, and I like to share. Each new client will receive a FREE bag of homemade treats! I am pretty flexible. I am a stay at home mom/freelance writer/independent delivery driver. My son may have to accompany on some trips, but for the most part, I'm available 24/7. I've got a medium sized fenced in yard. Two sweet little boston terriers who love to play BALL! I live on a quiet dead end street, very safe for dogs.
About: I have had dogs, cats, and a variety of pets my entire life. I love to care for them. It’s the best feeling when they choose you too :) I have cared for puppies and kittens to senior animals. I am a teacher throughout the week. I work Monday through Friday. I can take care of animals before school and after school and on the weekends. I have a yard that is not fenced in but I do have a long lead for them to roam around on. I live in a low traffic neighborhood and I often walk along our peaceful streets with my own dog. I will walk your pet or allow them outside every few hours or however their needs must be met.
“Adeline was absolutely amazing with my two pups! Had a very last minute booking and she not only was willing to accommodate my needs but went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were cared for, comfortable, and happy. She also gave great updates throughout the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough for any pet needs. Thank you again!!!”
“Alyssa is an exceptional dog sitter and exceeded my expectations. My German Shepherd, Ava, is highly independent and energetic with borderline diva tendencies. Alyssa had my girl for a week while I was hiking in the Black Hills. From her pics and communication, I could see that Ava was in good hands. Alyssa treated my Ava and my home as if it was her own—I’m so glad I found her! I will continue to use Alyssa and recommend her highly.”
“Ashley was awesome! She did a meet and greet and took plenty of notes. She was very communicative during our trip and sent photos and went above and beyond for our pets! We will definitely rebook her!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of different dogs, senior dogs who need extra care, puppies who need basic training and hours of playing, and calm dogs who wanna watch the evening news with you, I will treat your dog like they’re my own and I’m confident in my ability to treat your pet in the special ways they need. I’m currently working two days a week, which means I am very flexible with pet care, and would love to do what I can to help my community! I have a 6 month old puppy who’s never met a stranger, he loves to play and we’ll make sure they get their energy out. Your pet will be allowed on furniture and treated as my own.
About: I have always loved interacting with animals, they are a joy to be around. Pet sitting has always been a fun opportunity for me to earn income since middle school, and now that I am embarking on my law school journey, I hope to continue that trend. I am comfortable assisting dogs and cats of any age. I’m dedicated to your pets comfort & happiness, and will treat your pet how I would hope you would treat mine, like family! I have been employed as a full-time nanny in the cheat lake area for the past three years. I will be starting law school at wvu this August! During the week, I will not be confined to a classroom all day, and will be sure to communicate my availability when you reach out with your pets needs. We have a spacious, fully fenced in backyard. Your pet will also have free range of our finished basement. Pictures of the space available upon request! While your animal will not be confined to a crate in our home, we do prefer that they are house and crate trained.
