I want to meet all of your pets needs even in last minute circumstances so that their humans can enjoy a stress free experience! Traveling and unexpected situations can be difficult and I want to make sure your pet is comfortable. I’m familiar with caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I currently make my own work schedule and have extremely flexible days. I’m always willing to adjust when needed. I love all sizes and breeds so I can accommodate any energy level as well I have a very loving and super friendly puppy of my own who would love to keep your pet company! We go for lots of walks throughout the day and get lots of time outside. I have cats as well that are very friendly with dogs but they can also be kept away in their own space if need be!

“While Melanie was walking my small dog, a large dog escaped its fence and attacked both Melanie and my dog. Melanie, unconcerned for herself, picked up my dog and fended off the large dog sustaining bites herself. She handled the situation very professionally and made sure my dog was safe and secure before getting medical treatment herself. I will forever be grateful to her and would recommend her services to anyone who wants a dog walker who goes above and beyond.”
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.
“Bethany did an amazing job! I was in need with very little notice and Bethany accepted the job and made it so easy. My pet was taken care of and I didn’t have to worry. I would recommend her a thousand times!”
About: Hi! I’m a 30-year-old nurse and proud beagle mom to my sweet 5-year-old girl. As someone who works long shifts in healthcare, I truly understand how important it is to have reliable, loving care for your pets when life gets busy. That’s why I’m offering drop-in visits for pets in the nearby area, helping give fellow pet parents peace of mind. My schedule can vary, so I kindly ask for 1–2 weeks’ notice to coordinate visits around my work shifts. I’m also open to overnight house sitting depending on availability—we can chat to see what works best! On my days off, I love getting outside and would be happy to take your pup for a walk on a nearby trail—possibly even alongside my own friendly beagle, if you’re comfortable with that. She’s great with other dogs and would love the company! Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a relaxing walk, or some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help care for them like one of my own. my schedule changes weekly, so my availability is variable. I’m primarily available for drop-in visits close to home on my days off, and I kindly ask for 1 to 2 weeks’ advance notice whenever possible to help me plan ahead. I’m open to overnight stays after building trust and familiarity with clients, but those will depend on my work schedule. I also occasionally travel, so consistent communication is appreciated for long term planning. I do not provide in-home boarding or care at my own home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I’m always respectful of your space and your pet’s needs.
About: I have lived with dogs since I was a child. In my middle and late teens, I was around multiple litters of puppies. I know how to do simple training with dogs. I am comfortable cleaning up any and all messes. I was exposed to dogs with extra needs as my late great dane was chronically and terminally ill, therefore I have experience providing oral medicine and addressing wounds. I am currently in between jobs at the moment meaning I have open availability. I also own my own car allowing me to pet sit and/or walk whenever is needed. I am a strong advocate for spoiling any and all animals with love, treats, and toys. I currently own two cats, Twiggy (5 years) and Penelope (4 months). My two cats run my home. They have multiple cat trees, beds, and rechargeable and regular toys. I only feed my cats veterinary grade food (specially Hills) and am avid when it comes to keeping their space as clean as possible. Since moving out of my childhood home, I have not personally owned a dog. However, my college roommate of 5 years owned a senior dachshund, Slinky (12 years) who I frequently pet sat. Even though Slinky was not my dog, I love him as my own. I love taking him on walks, runs, and rubbing his tummy at his request. I strongly believe that sticking to a strict routine helps with the happiness of all animals and am dedicated to providing the same respect and admiration to your pets.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of different dogs, senior dogs who need extra care, puppies who need basic training and hours of playing, and calm dogs who wanna watch the evening news with you, I will treat your dog like they’re my own and I’m confident in my ability to treat your pet in the special ways they need. I’m currently working two days a week, which means I am very flexible with pet care, and would love to do what I can to help my community! I have a 6 month old puppy who’s never met a stranger, he loves to play and we’ll make sure they get their energy out. Your pet will be allowed on furniture and treated as my own.
About: What sets me apart is my experience, reliability, and genuine love for dogs. I’m a 21-year-old exercise physiology student who loves being active and outdoors—walking dogs is the perfect combo! I’ve dog sat and walked for many families and have two Australian Shepherds of my own, Georgia and Ruby, who I miss dearly while at school. I’ve also volunteered with hospice patients and babysat my whole life, so I’m comfortable with responsibility and care. Whether your dog is playful, shy, young, or senior—I’ll treat them like family! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I’m a senior at WVU with a flexible internship and classes only a few days a week. I’m available Tuesday and Thursday after 11, Wednesdays until 3, Fridays until 2, and weekends until 3. I love being outside and staying active, so walking and caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy and easily make time for in my schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I always prioritize their routine, comfort, and safety—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of outdoor time, or just being a calming presence. I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and exercise, especially since I enjoy being active myself. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry friend is in good hands!
About: I have my own dog, who is a huge and stubborn Great Pyrenees. Caring for him has made me prepared for any kind of challenges your pup may throw at me. I also have 2 other family dogs that I help take care of as well. My family has 5 cats, so if you’re in need of kitty care, I have tons of experience in that as well, for both indoor and outdoor. I’ve done dog sitting for family friends over the years, staying at their house and doing drop in visits. I am a student, so I have school every other day from 9am - noon. Other than that, I am very flexible and available whenever needed. I will be able to give your pets my undivided attention in your home. If you have any rules set in place for your pets, just let me know and I can make sure they feel safe and comfortable as if you were still there!

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.
