About: I've taken care of animals of every kind since / was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care their pets...

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as bunnies and cats. I am also familiar with pet anxiety and protective/territorial dogs. My friends and family have also had me pet-sit for them multiple times. I currently have a part-time job that is closed on Sundays and Mondays. I usually work from around 12 PM to 6 PM at the latest and am available the rest of the day. I make sure to keep non-toys out of reach and I make sure to inspect the yard before letting pets outside. I also follow the owners’ instructions very closely. Updates are provided to owners regularly.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my life , animals truly make me so happy and I hope to give them as much care and joy as they unconditionally give. I’m a soldier in the WV Army National Guard. I have a puppy of my own, Leo (5mo Dalmatian). We work on basic commands and manner, I clip his toe nails and brush his teeth. I have no issue providing those services if needed! I’m currently working full time as well as Drill weekends for the WV Army National Guard so drop ins and weekend pet stays at my home are ideal. I have 3 cats of my own and one puppy, they’re my favorite babies ever. Ideally boarding at my home is preferred especially dogs who are crate trained.
“Melissa has been wonderful! My pups are happy and well cared for! She has been flexible with my crazy schedule and oh so sweet. I feel that having her take care of my pups while I’m at work gives me peace of mind to focus on my job without having to worry if my fur babies are okay. Will hire her again and again!”
“Aurora did a great job checking in on Cooper. She was friendly when we met beforehand and on time. The app let me know when she visited and she provided pictures of Cooper at each visit. Cooper appeared happy and well cared for when I returned. Aurora followed my instructions for feeding Cooper, fresh water, treats and bones. I will definitely contact her the next time I am going to be away from home.”

About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.
