Dog Walkers in Ridgeville, WV

“Katie is AMAZING! She’s walks my puppy during the day so he can get some energy out and get some exercise while I’m at a work and let me just say he looks SO SO SOOOO happy in all of the pictures she sends! I love how she sends me picture of him through out the walk and a report of how the walk went! I 100% recommend Katie for any of your needs!”

About: From a young age, I’ve had animals of all kinds such as dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, goats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I now have three australian shepherds who are my pride and joy & three rabbits. I’ve recently started pet sitting but have owned and worked with a wide variety of animals, from tiny kittens to large dogs. I'm passionate about providing loving and attentive care to all my furry clients. I'm always happy to go the extra mile to make sure your pet is happy and healthy while you're away. I am attending nursing school since the beginning of August. However, I only have in person classes on Saturday’s. Therefore, I will be available all throughout the week/weekend. I have lots of land for the pets to run & 4 dogs who can accompany your pets! I have 2 large outdoor kennels and 4 indoor dog crates. one small, one medium and two large. With that being said, pets can be crated if need be. My 4 spend a majority of their time outside, because they love outside, but they sleep inside every night.

About: I've lived with pets all my life and while I’ve only had one human roommate in the last 30 years, I've always had a least one cat up until 2018. I LOVE cats (esp kittens), and am quite comfortable around dogs as well (I love them too, just not in all capitals, LOL). When I first started pet sitting, I thought I preferred cats to dogs, but the past few years have enabled me to expand in my love of, and comfort with dogs (but please don't tell the cats that)! I also used to 'lease' a horse in my youth and have experience with birds, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs. I DON'T like snakes or insects (sorry!) In the last 12 years I’ve volunteered with several rescues as a cat/kitten foster and I'm known to be particularly good with feral kittens and cats. I'm really good with walking (dogs mostly), dispensing medications, and loving attention, but I'm not a pushover when it comes to treats from the table (that's a no-no) staying on leash when required, and letting them know I mean business when necessary. I don't believe in EVER striking or punishing animals and seem to fall in love with them all. I’ve been a house and pet sitter on the site “Trusted Housesitters” since 2018 and have over 21 positive reviews there. I’m recently retired (yet surprisingly busy). I don’t do a lot of night driving, but am otherwise generally available. I’m a stickler about being on time, and keeping dates I commit to. My preference is for cats to remain indoors at all time at my house, and dogs always on a lead when outside. I have a variety of crate sizes here, and am totally comfortable with your fur kids riding in my car, lounging on my furniture, and/or sleeping in my bed. I have all wood floors, plenty of cat litter pans and bowls for food and water. My yard is not fenced but I live directly in front of the Western Maryland Rail Trail, and have easy access to neighborhood parks as well.

About: My name is Melanie and I am a pet lover at heart. I have several years of pet sitting experience under my belt, I understand how important it is for pet owners to find someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring for their furry friends. I believe in maintaining routines and creating an stress-free environment, ensuring that your pets feel loved and comfortable while you're away. Additionally, I am in the process of completing a dog training course and am planning on starting my own business within the next year! I look forward to spending time with your pets while you’re away. 🤍 I do work a full time job but I will always work to make sure I can fit people into my schedule to help them out with their animals needs while they’re unavailable. When I visit a clients home, I always make sure to do what is asked and what is expected of me. I also update clients with pictures and videos to let them know their pets are safe and cared for!

“When I returned home both of my dogs were completely exhausted from their walks which the exactly the goal! Great job Jessica!”

“I was nervous having someone come into my home and take my pup on walks while I’m at work but Megan has been so great! My dog Dixie loves her! Thank you Megan for what you do! 😁”

About: I have watched multiple types of dogs including: shih tzu, Yorkies, Pomeranian, lab, poodles, redbones, border collie, boxers, pit bulls, jack Russells, and Chihuahuas. I have bathed, cut hair/ nails, brushed, and given medicine to many dogs. I have fed, watered, walked, ran, and scratched dogs. I have kept multiple dogs overnight, during the day and in the evening. I have taken dogs to the vet, let them out periodically, and just stopped by to give them some attention also! In the end, I really truly do love all dogs and I just want to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have availability through out most evenings from 4pm - 11pm. I could also do some earlier in the morning for a couple hours with enough notice. Weekends I’m fully free. I can also do overnight and then morning drop offs if needed. Or I could keep them at my house during the day and stop by a few times to let them out (I’m right next door)! I will give them food / water / medicine when directed. I will give them treats when deserved or directed. I will take them on walks, play with them, and let them out periodically to use the bathroom. I will give them lots of cuddles and scratches if that’s something they are interested in!

About: I am currently in the process of moving to West Virginia. As long as this notice is up, I am accepting dog walking clients only! I have a lifelong experience of caring for dogs, cats, and chickens. As an adult, I have found a passion for providing my animals with enrichment, fulfilling their psychological needs as well as the physical. I have completed a course on dog body language, and took care of a special needs chicken for 4 years. I enjoy taking care of animals so much that I want all my days off to be filled with cats and dogs! I am employed full time, but my free time goes to four legged beings first. I can't wait to meet your furry friends! I believe in advocating for your cat or dog's autonomy. I am familiar with both dog and cat body language cues, and I respect those cues. In the context of house sitting for your pet, this means that if your pet doesn't want to be picked up, petted, or held, I will respect that. If I am out on a walk with your dog and a stranger wants to pet them, I am comfortable saying No. It's about your pets comfort and respecting their boundaries.

About: I have two shih tzu puppies, fifteen chickens and one rabbit. I love all of my animals and care for them like they are my children. I'm looking to start caring for other people's pets as a part time job. I'm available to care for your pets while caring for mine. I have a fenced in yard with doggie doors. I have all of my pets within view at all times (cameras). I care about the health and safety of all my pets.

About: New to the area and am a huge animal lover! Worked in a small town veterinarian office, so I was always surrounded by others’ pets. I have open availability and am more than able to find a time to work around both your schedule and mine to accommodate the proper care routine. Whether it be my own pet or someone else’s, giving them plenty of attention and time throughout the day allows for a proper care routine.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old. I grew up in a neighborhood so it wasn’t hard to find people who needed pet care. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for overnight, boarding, walking and feeding. I am not currently working full time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. It will switch to evenings and weekends once I start work again. Neighbors have always trusted me to be in their homes and with their pets. I have watched them for weeks at a time so this required being unsupervised with access to the property

“Really liked meeting with Emily. She was super friendly and my dog hit it right off with her at the meet and greet. When she came to take care of my dog she was on time and left a great message with details about the walk. TOTALLY will be using her again and 100% recommend.”

About: I love working with animals! I have years of experience caring for animals between pet sitting and shelter work. I have experience bathing, grooming pets, determining daily food portions, walking dogs, providing companionship, and administering medicine. I find caring and being around animals on a regular basis to be very rewarding. I work full-time Monday-Thursday. I am available as early as 6:00am-5:00pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I can be flexible to you and your pet/pets needs. I will ensure your pet/pets receive love, affection, and adequate time will be given for their care.

About: I have owned my own personal animals for the past 6 years, I have 3 dogs (all beautiful muts) and 8 cats. Aside from having my own furry kids, I've also worked in animal rescue for a little over 4 years. This job field has given me so much experience working with every sort of dog breed, and any cat temperament. I currently work a full time job Monday-Thursday but I would love to be more involved in the animal field again. With me having fridays off I feel this is a great opportunity to spend time helping others and hanging out with animals! Since I do have my own animals, I will not be able to provide in home care. However, I will be more than happy to set something up with you to do care for your pets in their own home!
