“April and her family took great care of our dog Tulip while we were at a family reunion at Deep Creek Lake. They sent pictures and communicated quickly when we needed to. We felt confident that Tulip was well cared for and we will try to have Tulip stay with them again if we are up this way. They are just a really nice family.”
“Jessica is amazing! She has walked Luke many times in the past and we always had a great experience with her. This time we were going on vacation and took Lukie to her for boarding. She was really great! Kept me updated the entire time and sent me pictures and videos, Luke had an amazing time and even became friends with her kitten. I would definitely recommend her. I was at ease knowing Lukie was well taken care of. She treated him like if he was her own pup.”
“We are extremely pleased with the care Hailey provided for my dog, Milo. She was attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Milo seemed happy and well-looked after when I picked him up. Hailey kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. The place was clean, and Milo had plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend Hailey for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“My dogs were happy and content when we arrived to pick them up. Jessica sent us pictures and they seemed perfectly relaxed . She was able to fit us in for the last minute call and I was very grateful. We will definitely contact Jessica , the next time we head out of town .”
“Kaity was a lifesaver after our usual Rover pet sitter was unable to keep Suey for us while we were away. She was kind and welcoming to Suey at drop off & sent me photos and updates during her stay. I’d definitely recommend Kaity & wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future. Thanks again, Kaity!”
About: My name is Misty and I would love to help you care for your pets. I live in Maysville and will travel to surrounding areas. I grew up in a family that bred and trained Golden Retrievers and Chocolate Labrador Retrievers to duck hunt. I have also leash-broken hounds, German Shepherds, and Siberian Huskies. The leashes I use are gentle-leaders. I do not use any other form of leashes as I use the pack leader training method. I reward pets with positive reinforcement and do not punish animals. I’m a disabled veteran so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I do crate training at my home and I have a 1 acre yard with a creek. Your fur babies will be happy and protected with me.
“I live in VA but was traveling to PA to go snowboarding on a last minute trip. None of my regular sitters were available so I decided to look in PA. Kristina and Mark were great! Thor had such a great time with their 3 German Shepherds. I was really impressed with how they handled the meet and greet. Kristina brought each dog out one at a time to meet Thor. Then they all came out together and made Thor feel right at home. Kristina sent pictures and videos, and Thor was always smiling! I snowboard a lot in PA, so I'll definitely be requesting them to watch Thor again.”
About: Hello, I enjoy animals of all kinds, I’m a country gal from West Virginia. Your pet will be safe with me if you need a sitter please don’t hesitate to text me. I work part time I have time to take care of your beloved pet friend. Occasionally I work on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Sunday I go to church it’s only estimated 2 hours long they will be crated while I’m away. I own a Yorkie, and I have chickens in my backyard. I don’t have a fence so you will need a lease so I can walk them.
About: I have always had a big heart for pets. This includes cats and dogs. I enjoy being around them, feeding them, and cleaning after them. I work full time for a nonprofit, but have flexibility. I’m mostly available on Fridays-Mondays. I currently care for doggies and cats in my own home. My doggy is on a feeding schedule and get regular walks. He enjoys playing tug-a-war with me and enjoys having me the one to fetch his toys. I easily get along with animals and enjoy playing and exercising them.
