“Harley has watched Maslow for me multiple times now, and she is always wonderful! She's quick to respond and always gives great updates. I'm so thankful for her always taking such great care of my Mas!”


“Sami was AMAZING with my two elderly cats. I worry about them so much when I am away, but Sammi was a game changer, she brought me such peace of mind. She sent pictures, videos, and always included a detailed report. She was even able to find my “good hider” kitty during each visit and give her-her medicine. She really took the time to give them exceptional care, kindness, and company. I highly recommend Sammi 😊”


“Jessica is always great! She responds quickly, she is very punctual and always takes great care of my Lukie and my place. We will definitely continue to book her.”


About: I have taken care of my 14 year old black lab since she was a puppy and she is now a senior dog. I also have a 1 year old german shepherd puppy who is very high energy. I have experience in giving oral medication and training. I am currently in graduate school for occupational therapy and am taking some time off. My schedule is clear and I’m available most days and nights. I take my own dog for three 1 hour walks a day and cater to his high energy personality. I also am able to provide mental enrichment and a safe atmosphere for your pet.

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.

“Greyson was fantastic! Helped take care of my cat and bird while I was away for a week. Really went above and beyond in multiple ways. Will definitely be rebooking with him again in the future.”


About: I have cared for and been around dogs throughout my whole life. I have always had a passion for animals! I love to run and play with dogs that have as much energy as I do or even just hangout on the couch and enjoy a relaxing day. 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!

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’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 taken care of many types of dogs and cats, big and small. Dog walking is a fun past-time of mine and I thoroughly enjoy playing with animals! I currently am a graduate student online, in the Morgantown area! I work full time as well but get out of work early so I can gladly drop-in or take walks after I get out of work! I provide in-home services for my currently employer so I spend a large amount of time already in others’ homes. I will do my best to maintain animal cleanliness as well as I do in my home-which involves me scooping and vacuuming up cat litter daily among other tasks.

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 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.

“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.”


“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: Growing up on a farm, I’ve been raised around many animals over the years and have a lot of experience providing them with the best care. As a registered nurse, I am experienced at giving medications and have gained a lot of patience when dealing with mishaps or changes in plans. My big fur baby was an abused stray, who needed a lot of time and dedication. Now, he is healthy and confident in a variety of situations. I gladly welcome dogs that have behavioral issues and hope to build their confidence and trust during their time with me. My work schedule is semi-flexible, allowing for more time at home with the fur babies. I also work remote one day a week. This means that I will have plenty of time to for your furry friend. I am fortunate enough to have a large fenced in yard. Our home is located off of a side road, so there is minimal traffic passing through. My dogs are all flea/tick treated and are mostly indoors. We have a deck that our pups love to lay out on and soak up the sun. We get bark boxes each month, so there are loads of toys. Each dog gets lots of snuggles and scratches every day. Your pup would be treated just as one of our own. I currently work a Monday through Friday job, but can usually curate my schedule to make time for my clients. I can make stops after work, or on weekends if needed. It is important to me that I know temperament, behavioral issues, and regular routine of the animals that I care for prior to my first visit with them. I want to keep the animal on their own regulated schedule as much as possible to alleviate stress on them and pet parents.

melanie k.
“I’ve known Melanie for a long time, and I can honestly say she’s one of the most reliable and hard-working people I’ve ever met. She’s goes to school at WVU and somehow manages to juggle a packed schedule while still giving 100% to everything she does. She’s super independent, smart, and really driven—once she sets her mind to something, she makes it happen. On top of all that, she’s amazing with animals. She’s always had a natural connection with dogs and takes care of them with a lot of love and attention. I’ve seen firsthand how patient and caring she is, and I know she’d treat any dog like her own (Scout). If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your pet, she’s the one.”
