Dog Walkers in Higginsville, WV

“Katie is AMAZING! She’s walks my puppy during the day so he can get some energy out and get some exercise while I’m at a work and let me just say he looks SO SO SOOOO happy in all of the pictures she sends! I love how she sends me picture of him through out the walk and a report of how the walk went! I 100% recommend Katie for any of your needs!”

About: I've lived with pets all my life and while I’ve only had one human roommate in the last 30 years, I've always had a least one cat up until 2018. I LOVE cats (esp kittens), and am quite comfortable around dogs as well (I love them too, just not in all capitals, LOL). When I first started pet sitting, I thought I preferred cats to dogs, but the past few years have enabled me to expand in my love of, and comfort with dogs (but please don't tell the cats that)! I also used to 'lease' a horse in my youth and have experience with birds, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs. I DON'T like snakes or insects (sorry!) In the last 12 years I’ve volunteered with several rescues as a cat/kitten foster and I'm known to be particularly good with feral kittens and cats. I'm really good with walking (dogs mostly), dispensing medications, and loving attention, but I'm not a pushover when it comes to treats from the table (that's a no-no) staying on leash when required, and letting them know I mean business when necessary. I don't believe in EVER striking or punishing animals and seem to fall in love with them all. I’ve been a house and pet sitter on the site “Trusted Housesitters” since 2018 and have over 21 positive reviews there. I’m recently retired (yet surprisingly busy). I don’t do a lot of night driving, but am otherwise generally available. I’m a stickler about being on time, and keeping dates I commit to. My preference is for cats to remain indoors at all time at my house, and dogs always on a lead when outside. I have a variety of crate sizes here, and am totally comfortable with your fur kids riding in my car, lounging on my furniture, and/or sleeping in my bed. I have all wood floors, plenty of cat litter pans and bowls for food and water. My yard is not fenced but I live directly in front of the Western Maryland Rail Trail, and have easy access to neighborhood parks as well.

“I was nervous having someone come into my home and take my pup on walks while I’m at work but Megan has been so great! My dog Dixie loves her! Thank you Megan for what you do! 😁”

“Christopher and Leslie are professional, they're skilled at handling dogs, and my dogs love them. Even our two very shy dogs warmed up to them quickly. (And my cats, who were not part of the booking, also were happy to say hi to them. They're obviously cat people, too!) They were happy to accommodate some last-minute changes to the bookings, which I appreciated very much. I will definitely book them again when I need help.”

About: Hi there, My name is Melissa and I work from home which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. l am a very active person who absolutely loves all sorts of fur babies, especially dogs and cats. I enjoy having the ability to interact with them on a daily basis. I currently have one fur baby of my own, Roxy (13 yo Jack Russell), but I have been around all types of animals since I was little, and I can't imagine my life without them. I would love to include more animals in my life by helping you take care of yours from drop-in visits, dog walking and more! I believe in positive reinforcement training versus negative reinforcement, which supports an animal’s overall well being. My goal is to make sure that your dog is fully sated from our walk so that when you get home you have a relaxed doggie! Having had more than one dog of my own in the past I am experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time, so if you have 2 or more dogs that need daily walks I am up for it! Also, if your pet just needs a cuddle and some caring for during the day I am happy to drop in visit on them and spend some time with them! I hope you’ll consider me for your pet care needs. I promise to treat your fur baby as if it were my own! Looking forward to working with you and your fur babies. I am have a very flexible schedule for dog walking and pet drop-in visits. Morning, afternoon or night time, I would be happy to take care of your pets! I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own pet with respect and gentle care. I also will respect your household and leave it in the condition it was in when I arrived.

“Madilyn is great very friendly and my GSD just loves her, when it's coming time for Madilyn to pickup my Bella, she'll go to the window looking for her with every noise she'll hear. Madilyn is very dependable, sweet and just loves animals. We'll be using her a lot”

About: Hi! My name is Kristen. I’ve had pets my entire life! When I was growing up there was always a dog and/or cat in my home. The only time I didn’t have an animal was during my first 2 years of college. In 2009 my now husband and I got our first dog Allie. She’s a pit/boxer/lab mix! In 2012 we got our second dog Wolowitz (yes like Howard Wolowitz from the Big Bang Theory). He’s a cute beagle/lab mix. They love to take walks, car ride, have snacks and treats, and lots of cuddles! Something that should be noted though is that my dogs don’t always like other dogs and get easily stressed when other dogs are around. Therefore, I won’t be able to watch your dogs at my house but will watch them at your home!
