“Colleen did an amazing job with my whole crew of pets. I had to book last minute as my dog sitter quit mid job and wasn't taking care of them properly. She was attentive to detail, played with them, and was very respectful and pleasant to communicate. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future!”


“Arianna was a great house/dog/cat sitter for us! She sent lots of pictures of our pets and it was reassuring to know that things were going well while we were gone. I definitely recommend her!”


About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m flexible, dependable, and available for last-minute bookings to fit your busy schedule. I understand that every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to meet their specific needs, whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply lots of cuddles. To give you peace of mind, I provide regular updates, photos, and videos, so you’ll always know your furry friend is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and loved while giving you complete confidence in their care. I'm available evenings and weekends to provide loving, attentive care for your pets. Flexible with timing to accommodate your schedule and your pet's unique needs! I will ensure your pet feels safe and loved in their own home, following routines, providing playtime, cuddles, and keeping their space clean and comfortable!

“Allysa was wonderful! She spent a weekend taking care of my dog and two cats and sent pictures of all 3 at least twice a day with very detailed updates. Two of them were on medication and she had no problems getting them to take their pills. I will definitely be booking with Allysa next time I need someone to watch my pets.”


“Alec was amazing! He was great at communicating and sending pictures of our two dogs. He made sure they were fed, taken out routinely and loved on. He also left our house cleaner than we left it! I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


“My pups absolutely love Skye! She has watched them several times now and is always fantastic! She sends updates and pictures throughout the day. She’s great at communicating and loving on our dogs. Highly recommend!”


“This is the first time i have left Daisy with someone that was not family. Morgan left me with zero worries! She sent several videos and texted me updates. I would not hesitate to use her again. I have a large Mastiff and she called her a cuddle bug ??.”


“Brenda was amazing with our toy poodle who has separation anxiety. I could tell right away her love for animals. He did so well with Brenda and I didn’t have to worry about him at all during our vacation, which I can only do with a choice few. She kept us up to date on how he and our cats were doing and gave us a full report when we got back. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend!”


“Alexis was friendly and helpful with my dog and with my pet chickens. Thorough and thoughtful and authentic. Great sitter that actually spends time with your pup!”


About: We got into pet care together because helping animals has always been a shared passion; it’s something that brought us closer and now it’s something we get to do side by side while helping our community 🥹 We currently foster for the Kanawha Charleston Shelter and another local rescue, help with TNR in our area, rehome strays, and love to spoil our own little crew of rescues! Over the years, we’ve cared for dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, reptiles, rabbits, rats, and even birds! We’re especially comfortable with pets who need a little extra patience, like shy rescues, semi-ferals, and senior animals! 🐕🦺 We have hands-on experience with: • Medications (oral, topical, injectable like insulin) • Anxious or reactive behavior • Special diets and tricky routines • Post-op and long-term medical needs • Livestock Friends! We're also active in the rescue world currently supporting fundraising, marketing, and networking for Krazie Ladies Animal Rescue, and jumping in when people in our community need help with lost pets or urgent rehoming! This isn’t just a side gig for us... it’s something we truly love doing together and would be happy to help you and your pets have a stress-free time! We both work from home, so our days naturally revolve around the animals we care for; ours and yours! That means we’re super flexible with visits throughout the day, whether it’s a quick morning potty break, midday meds, or evening playtime. Caring for animals is already part of our daily life. We foster and volunteer locally, so working around feeding schedules, quirky behaviors, and special routines is second nature. You can count on us to show up on time and treat your pets like they’re part of the family! Weekend availability included... just reach out and let’s chat about what you need! 📅 We kindly ask for 3 days' notice for all bookings and cancellations so we can plan our calendar and make sure we’re giving every pet the time and care they deserve 💛 When we’re in your home, we treat it with the same care and respect we’d want for our own! We always follow your instructions to the T; whether that’s feed times, locked doors or quirky pet routine... We will always keep your space clean, calm, and secure before we leave! We’re happy to work with homes that use security systems or indoor cameras, and we’ll always communicate clearly about access (keys, codes, etc.) so everyone feels comfortable! After each visit, you’ll get a photo or two and a quick update so you’re never left wondering how things went!! If your pets have any medical needs, special diets, triggers, or unique behaviors, we’ll ask about those ahead of time so we can handle everything confidently! We’ve worked with nervous pets, escape artists, and even semi-ferals... so nothing surprises us! We know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and into your pet’s routine, and we don’t take that lightly! ❤️

“Olivia was absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond what I expected. Cooper loves her. She sent pics and videos which we loved looking at. The house was left in great shape. We will definitely be calling on her again. I highly recommend Olivia. She is a pet lover and is very experienced!!!!”


“Devin and Alexis did a great job caring for our pets! Devin came prior to the visit to get acquainted with the animals before house sitting for us. Definitely recommend!”


“Jeremy did a great job. We had some communication issues at first but we got those worked out. He even watered my plants for me and made sure the outside chickens and geese had water while we were gone. Our dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned. <3”


About: I treat each pet like my own—with patience, love, and a strong focus on their individual needs and routines. I'm reliable, communicative, and always make sure pet parents feel at ease while they're away. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, giving extra cuddles, or keeping you updated with photos and messages, I ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home. Dog sitting fits into my weekly schedule in a way that allows me to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I work full-time during the day, so I typically take on dog sitting jobs that align well with my availability—mornings before work, evenings, and weekends. During those times, I focus fully on making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, affection, and consistency. If your pup is comfortable with some alone time during the workday, I’m a great fit for overnight care or weekend stays. I provide a secure environment, closely supervising their activities, and following any specific care instructions from the owner. I ensure they have proper food, water, and exercise, avoid hazards like toxic plants or open gates, chocking hazards and stay alert to signs of illness or stress. Regular check-ins and maintaining up-to-date contact information also help in case of emergencies.
