“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 was amazing with our 8-year-old pup! She took such good care of our sweet and quirky dog — Poppy made quick friends with the other animals in Jessica’s care. When we plan future trips, it’s comforting to know that our pet will be well taken care of. Thank you, Jessica!”

“Jessica was a perfect sitter. She was communicative and friendly. I could tell my dog had a great time over the weekend by the amount of affection he was showing his weekend host during pickup. Thank you so much!”

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.
“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!”

“Kaity was wonderful with my one year old golden retriever Monroe. Took her in last minute and had never sit her before. Would definitely recommend her. Very responsive and sent pics throughout the stay. I was beginning to wonder if my girl would even want to come back home 😆”

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.
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.
