Cat Sitting in Shepherdstown

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was around 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and family by walking, feeding, and bathing their pets, and I absolutely love it! I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and always focused on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help! I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets with attention and love. I’m home most of the day, making it easy to provide consistent care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I have one small, friendly dog who loves having company. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play indoors and outside. Whether your pup prefers quiet time or playtime, I always create a calm, welcoming environment tailored to their needs.

“Teresa was great! She came right when she said she would and followed our directions. Our cats were comfortable with her and were well taken care of.”

“If I had more stars to give, I would. Just as we thought we hit the jackpot with our Charlie girl, we also hit the jackpot with Sarah. To be able to leave your pet, knowing they will be loved and cared for is the best feeling. Sarah did just that and more! Charlie was loved and played with a lot! Her food, water and litter box were tended to and the area was immaculate. I also appreciated that Sarah reached out with questions. She cares enough to ask the details and that’s important. Sarah is the kind of person you want to watch over your pet. She’s the best - hands-down.”

“We'd highly recommend Lauren to watch your fur babies. She provided exceptional care for our 2 little fur boys! Will definitely use again. Thank you Lauren!”

“Christine did a fantastic job with my 2 cats! She always gave me great updates after each visit and I felt they were in very good hands. Next time I'm out of town, I would definitely pick Christine to take care of my cats!”

“Lauren came in and watched our cats while we were away on a trip! Got great daily pictures of the cats and came home to them all seeming very happy! Will absolutely book Lauren again!”

“As a first-time user of DogVacay, I was so nervous about leaving my dogs with someone I'd never met. As soon as my dogs and I walked through the door for our meet & greet, I felt extremely comfortable with our choice. My dogs are my babies and I could tell they would get great care with Chentel and her pups. My dogs had a wonderful stay with Chentel and I could tell from my daily pictures and their exhausted-ness when I picked them up that they had a great time while mom & dad were out of town. I'd definitely recommend Chentel to others and would leave my dogs with her again in a heartbeat.”

“Sarah is a wonderful caregiver for our puppy! She shows love and affection, is responsible and dependable, and prompt. We recommend Sarah for any pet sitting job.”

“Bayleigh was great at taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. We got 4-5 pictures daily via text and an update on how they were doing. Would definitely hire again!”

“Sydney did awesome with my kit-kat! My cat is normally pretty shy but she warmed up to Sydney really quickly. Great updates each day and lots of cute photos! I’ll definitely reach out to Sydney again next time I need a sitter 😊”

About: I have had my own dogs, cats, chickens and hamsters over the years. From a young age I have loved helping my family feed, water, brush and bathe all of our pets. I've cared for dogs and cats from 6 weeks old all the way until it was time to say goodbye. Pets are important family members and it is such an honor to be trusted with their care. I love playing with cats and taking dogs for walks. Every animal deserves to feel loved until they're smiling from ear to ear! I am available most weekends so I can check in on your pets while you're having a blast on vacation! I'm also available most afternoons to take dogs on walks or check in on cats while you're away. I try to be as flexible and accommodating as possible. I am very gentle, yet firm with pets. I can be sure they stay within whatever boundaries you set and follow the normal training expectations you have for them. I don't mind crating dogs if requested. Picking up dog poop and cleaning litter boxes are no problem at all!

About: I enjoy connecting with animals and creating a safe and secure environment for them. I look forward to inviting new dogs into our home and having our teenage daughter help care for them. Additionally our dog Raven is ready to have some playmates- she has a lot of energy but is gentle with small pups! We have a fenced yard with lots of space to run! I have been around dogs of all sizes since I was young and have taken care of family members’ and neighbors’ pets for years. I want to make sure that when we meet your dog he/she feels comfortable enough with Raven and us, so we will request a visit prior to your time away. Spending time outdoors is very important to me and I believe it is for kids and pets too! We look forward to opening our home and hearts to meeting you and your pup! My husband and I are home on the weekends so we will have plenty of time to spoil your pup! Also our daughter will be home to provide lots of TLC! We typically get home from work on weekdays around 4pm. Pets are allowed on our furniture and can sleep in our room with Raven. We will give them lots of attention, daily walks and playtime.

“Madison was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Received daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. She took great care of our (very shy) cat, who even let her get close a few times! He’s never done that with anyone else who is new. She went out of her way to track him down during her visits, and I was confident our cat was well cared for. Would definitely love to have her pet sit again in the future!”

“Left everything clean, will definitely book again”

“Anele is a great pet and house sitter. I appreciated that she reached out to schedule meeting both my cat and me beforehand. Allowed everyone to get to know each other. She’s very conscientious of following instructions and timeframes. Very responsible and reliable managing pet care and house. Will definitely be using her pet sitting services again.”

Don P.

“Very helpful!”

Caroline K.

“This is the first time I used Rover services and I got lucky having Laura S.! She was great with my cat Milo. I will definitely ask for Laura first! Note: first timers like me: you can’t leave a tip after ? You need to leave this when you pay first.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since age 12. I have taken many dog training classes and understand dogs’ needs and body language. I am a therapist so I have a good understanding of behavioral principles and understand how to be patient while building trust. I require a meet and greet before confirming a booking so your dog is familiar with me/my house and we can ensure they get along with my dogs. I work from home full-time, and typically take a break every 3 hours, at which point the dogs are let out into the fenced-in backyard. I can walk dogs in the morning (around 8 or 9) and/or the evening (around 5 or 6). I have a fenced-in yard and two very friendly and easy-going dogs (50lbs and 75lbs). I am able to crate dogs if needed (you provide the crate) or separate dogs in different areas of the house if any dogs need a break from the others. As I view dogs as part of the family, they are allowed on furniture and beds and receive plenty of attention and snuggles.

“Joy was great! Kept me updated and sent pics. Would definitely recommend. Kuma is also a larger dog and she was really good with him. <3”
