1. Colleen O.

“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!”


2. Niveda S.

“Niveda did a great job house sitting and caring for my dog and cat! I came back from a weekend away to happy, well- exercised pets and a clean house. She also sent regular updates so I didn't worry about my pets while I was away.”


3. Lauren A.

“Lauren was fabulous with our 2 dogs. She listened to us as we explained their needs and wants and made us immediately comfortable. We won’t hesitate to use her again on our next trip to WV.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young girl. I adore all fur babies and will take very good care of your pets. I am currently working part-time out of the home for brief periods of time. Most of my time will be spent making sure that your fur baby feels right at home! I also have a teenage daughter who loves animals and who will be helping care for them as well. I have a fenced in yard. I have a Basset Hound and 2 cats. All of my animals are very friendly and will keep your baby company. I can also crate your pet if needed.


7. Alec B.

“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.”

10. Noah Z.

“Noah did a great job with my dog! She has a very strict routine and generally gets very anxious if it isn't followed. Noah followed her routine exactly and kept me updated with lots of pictures along the way. When I got back she was so relaxed and happy!”

About: An animal lover since birth, I have spent my life dedicated to animal welfare. I have volunteered at animal shelters, participated in fostering dogs as part of a rescue group, and follow a plant-based and cruelty-free lifestyle. I have puppy sat breeds ranging from shih tzu, chihuahua, beagle, American eskimo, Labrador, pit bull, boxer, Australian cattle dog, Great Dane... and the list goes on! Additionally, I have cared for/fostered/rescued cats, wildlife and farm animals. I have been a Park Ranger for 10 years, specifically studying wildlife. I am currently a resident of Oak Hill, WV where I work as a Park Ranger and live with my furry children-two pit bull mixes-Harper and James. I often walk, pet sit, feed and just generally check up on my neighbors, relatives and friends pets-And OF COURSE have puppy playdates 🐶I previously worked for Wag in the fast paced city of Denver, Colorado and loved every moment of it! I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a seasonal Park Ranger-as a result, I enjoy pet sitting, dog walking and house sitting during my offseason! I typically have between 5-6 months off between seasons, so my schedule is very flexible! While caring for pets in your home we will spend time playing, petting & exercising. If your pup enjoys hiking, refer to my services. I love to hike and would absolutely love your pup to join me!

“Lindsay was amazing. My pups were very happy and well cared for. It was such a great first experience. Knowing my pups were safe and in good hands while my family and I were away for a few hours made our time away so much more enjoyable.”
