Pet Sitting in Mapletown

“Phenomenal sitter; was very attentive to details and cared deeply about ensuring our pets were happy and well-cared for. She reached out to us regularly with updates and photos, which were very well done, and inquired about how to help our more anxious pets as it was needed. We greatly appreciated her help and felt at ease knowing she was looking after our pets.”

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

About: I have been house/pet sitting since I was 10 years old. Pet care, household chores, getting mail, lawn care… whatever you may need while away or at work! I am a grad student at WVU, so I make my own schedule. I am free all weekends and evenings, and can always check in/walk during lunch breaks! I must come to you, for I live in a small apartment. I believe pets deserve to be somewhere familiar while their family is away!

“I appreciate your patience with Porky! Thanks for keeping us informed!”

About: I've spent several years caring for pets of all kinds, from dogs and cats to rabbits and birds. I know how to handle their needs, whether it's feeding, walking, grooming, or just giving them lots of love and attention. I've also learned to recognize their behaviors and moods, so I can provide the best care possible. I will send pictures so you know they're safe and happy while in my care. I’m currently working part-time. I am available Saturday-Tuesday for pet sitting, walking, play-dates from 7am-11pm. I’m here for whatever you and your beloved pets may need. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow a structured approach based on the specific needs of the pets. Here’s how I do it: 1. Routine: I establish a daily routine that includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to keep the pets comfortable and secure. 2. Feeding: I ensure pets are fed according to their dietary requirements, whether it's dry food, wet food, or special diets. I always check for any allergies or specific instructions from the pet owner. 3. Exercise: For dogs, I take them for regular walks and play sessions to keep them active and engaged. 4. Grooming: I perform basic grooming tasks like brushing & bathing as needed. 5. Health Monitoring: I keep an eye on the pets for any signs of illness or distress and make sure they take any medications if required. 6. Safe Environment: I create a safe space by removing any hazards and ensuring that the pets have a comfortable area to relax. 7. Socialization: I spend quality time with the pets to keep them socialized and happy, providing companionship and affection. I also have 2 dogs of my own to keep yours company! 8. Communication: I maintain open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are happy and well-cared for. This approach ensures that pets feel loved and secure, whether they're in my home or theirs!

“Megan was wonderful with our dog, Manny! She was communicative with us before and after each visit, and made us feel at ease while we were away from home. We enjoyed working with her!”

“Abby was a wonderful and attentive sitter, and we’ll definitely request her help again in the future! She handled our pets’ dinner time and gave them regular walks. Both of our dogs have their quirks, and Abby was incredibly understanding, following all our guidelines perfectly. Thank you, Abby!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old, volunteering at local shelters and helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all ages, including senior pets—my own pup is getting older, so I understand the patience and gentle care they need. I’m also comfortable with basic grooming tasks like bathing and brushing. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re family. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I’m currently out of school with open availability after 10 AM and on weekends. Even when school resumes in the fall, I’ll make sure pet care fits into my schedule. You can count on me to treat your pets with love and attention. I do not board pets in my home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in their own familiar environment. I offer in-home pet sitting, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day as needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, and I strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own.

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.

“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 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.

“Allie is absolutely wonderful and our pups loved her! She has went above and beyond for us while we were on vacation and we will be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Bessie was wonderful! She made sure my pup was top priority. She even brought her cookies when meeting her for the first time. She was on time and spent so much time with her. She took her on plenty of walks. She sent lots of pictures where you could see my pup was very happy! I definitely recommend her!”

About: I grew up in a household with four dogs, three of them being Great Danes. Growing up with dogs, I have learned to train, walk, and take care of them. This is where my love for dogs came about. From the time I was 14 I was always taking care of and watching dogs for my neighbors, family, and friends. I have experience with dogs as small as Chihuahuas to as big as New Foundlands. I have watched and stayed with dogs for weeks at a time or just for a few hours after work. My parent's three Great Danes love going to the dog park, playing outside, and going on long walks. So, I have experience with caring for multiple large dogs at a time. My boyfriend and I own an Australian Shepherd, so I am also very familiar with high strung dogs who need to get more energy out than most. Along with my dogs, I have 15 chickens. If you ever need me to tend to your chickens while I am dog sitting, I can do this also! I am very dedicated to taking care of your pups as if they are my very own. I am a 1st grade teacher, so my best qualities are being flexible and patient with all of your pet needs! I am a full-time 1st grade teacher, so I have plenty of time on my summers and weekends off. During the school year, I am free after 3:30! I have stayed at family's and friend's homes for an extended period of time to watch their pups during the school year, so I am definitely available to do that as well. I have taken care of dogs who are fenced in or have acres to explore, and dogs who are free range or are crated in the home. With my parent's four dogs, they have an unfenced yard, so I have experience using shock/training collars to control them on their 7 acres.

About: I have been caring for animals since a very young age. Growing up I had a border collie named Peanut, and a frog named Freddy. My parents taught me to care for the both of them from a very young age, and that has led me to now having pets of my own in my 20’s! I have a rescue Westie mix named Maxx, and have recently gotten a kitten with my girlfriend, named Pickle. Neither are currently with me now as I have just moved to West Virginia, and are with my girlfriend back home in Ohio. I am very good with following a pets feeding and bathroom routines, while giving them the attention they deserve! I understand that every pet is different, and I feel that I am great at adapting to their personalities, preferences, and needs! I am a full-time Athletic Training Masters student at WVU, who has classes in the morning as of now, so overnights and afternoon/evening appointments work best for me! As a guest in your home I will treat you and your pet with the utmost respect. I do not mind being outside with your pet if they need a set of eyes on them most of the time, but I also know when a pet needs time to themselves. I am very comfortable around all types of animals, and will have no issue fulfilling any requests you make.

“My pup who is skittish of new people warmed right up to her! Had zero concerns about her doing the first drop in. Carrie is absolutely lovely with your pets! We are lucky to have found her to watch ours.”
