“I absolutely love Harley! My kitties fell in love with her and she gave me a length update with pictures every single day with how they are doing. I will definitely use her again!”
“Sammi was the best! She obviously cares about animals and treats pet sitting as more than a job. She provided great updates and spent lots of time with our kitties. She also tried lots of ways to give our cat Mac his medicine even though he is stubborn. She did a great job giving him his daily transdermal meds too. We will definitely request her every time we go out of town!”
“Alicia was incredible and took amazing care of my cat Gumball. This was my first time leaving him for a while, and he was well fed and happy every time he got a visit!”
“Taylor was so great with my timid cat. She was super patient and really great to him. I really appreciated her taking the time to win him over. Great communication- loved all the updates and pictures!”
“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: Animals were my first passion since I was very young and their welfare continues to be something I care deeply about. I studied veterinary medicine in college and have experience working in an animal hospital. Therefore I have been trained to administer any medications or special dietary requirements as your pet may need as them. I have been pet sitting for over 4 years now as well and love meeting new animals! I am a full time student so my schedule is not super flexible, but I am available all day Saturday - Monday, Fridays after 11 AM, and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 5 PM. I understand that pets thrive in their schedules and will do anything I can to fit into their routine as it is. It’s very important to me that you and your pet are as comfortable and relaxed as can be in your time apart, so I am very open to any requests regarding regular safety or care routines. I will take care of and attend to your pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved.
“Thanks to Kira, my new kitten was able to have socialization and not be lonely while I was on holiday. Kira was very sweet with Tinkerbell and was kind enough to send me pics every visit. Kira was consistent in her responsibilities and communication. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to others.”
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!
“Allie was great! She came to meet my crew (cat, hedgehog, fish) a week before her stay and was super personable and nice! She did a great job taking care of my crew and sent me so many pictures of my guys! Highly recommended her.”
“Payton did great with our first visit! One of our cats has several medical issues so I was nervous about having a new sitter but I was comfortable after meeting Payton.”
“Carrie took on the challenge of taking care of our two Guinea pigs! She wrote updates and sent photographs everyday. She even last minute committed to giving one of them medicine two times a day! She is amazing and took wonderful care of our piggies. Thank you, Carrie!!!”
“Katy was great and did an excellent job of watching my cat Gaia while I was out of town for a few weeks. She communicated well, was thorough, shared pictures of Gaia and made sure everything was in order. I would definitely recommend her and have her watch my pets again!”
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
“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.”
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: My roommate and I have both cared for and grown up around dogs of all ages and sizes and love them all equally! We have both had senior pups of our own and understand the special accommodations they require!! We are quite an active bunch, so walks/hikes are likely to be included! My schedule can be erratic being that I work in an emergency department. I work 12 hour shifts on random weekdays/weekends. My roommate works a standard 8-4 job on weekdays! I try to keep my calendar up to date on Rover and only accept pups during a stretch of days where one of us is always home!! I live in a 3floor townhome and have the perfect neighborhood for dog walking! Our townhouse is very spacious, so we have plenty of room for crates, dog beds, and toys! There are no other pets who live in our home and we only watch one owner’s dog(s) at a time, so if your fur buddy is not great around unfamiliar pups, we could be a good fit for you!

Padraig K.
“Outside of my immediate family, Paddy is the person I trust the most to take care of my dogs. He is extremely trustworthy, kind, and caring. One of my dogs, Duke, is a foster that my girlfriend and I adopted and is still reactive. Paddy takes extra care and precautions when helping take care of Duke to make him feel at ease and safe and has grown to be one of Duke’s most trusted humans. He’s also excellent with care free dogs like our other pup, Cooper, and gives him plenty of love, walks, and ball time. I cannot recommend Padraig enough.”
