Cat Sitting in Martin

“This was the second time that Taylor has taken care of my kitty, Jemma. Jemma absolutely adores her which is a hard accomplishment because she’s so shy! I always get pics, videos, and updates about how she’s doing and how much she’s eating. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby!”

“Bethany did a great job caring for my daughter’s two cats. She was able to administer insulin shots to the older cat. Would recommend 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

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, intuition, and grounded presence to every animal I care for.

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.

“This review is quite different from what most Rover clients wrote. I haven't met Kira in person, but she replaced her older sister as my Rover sitter since the latter graduated from her university. So, Kira followed her sister's instructions on my cat and took several pictures of my cat.”

“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 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!

“Megan did a great job at keeping me at ease while being away from my cat. She kept me updated on how he was doing and I was so glad to see he warmed up so quickly to her. She extended her visits without a second thought when my plans changed.”

Caroline B.

“McKayla and Christian were great pet sitters! Our cats warmed up to both of them quickly. They gave us lots of updates during our trip and were extremely responsive to messages. They went above and beyond for our pets and I would definitely book them again. They even got them a Christmas gift.”

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.

“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.”

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 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.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I could walk. I’ve owned many breeds of both cats and dogs and have cared for all of my pets through their whole life span I am working part time, so I have plenty of time for visits and walks during any time of day. My schedule is super flexible. I can work with any breed or age of pet. I have experience with both cats and dogs and enjoy playing and loving on them.

About: I love animals and spoiling them is my game! I have 3 spoiled dogs. I have had my own personal animals for as long as I can remember. Each pet I look after is treated as my own. I grew up on a farm and we took in rescues of any kind. I have been taking care of puppies and kittens on bottles to seniors with shots/meds at times my whole life. Each pet I look after is treated as my own. I'm working part-time at home. I have time for play, walks, and maybe just a fun ride for a pup cup. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs. I have 3 friendly dogs, 2 small (8 lbs) /1 med (25 lbs). I have crates of different sizes, harnesses and leads, and collars if needed.

“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.”
