About: Hi, my name is Faith! I’m a resident of Shepherdstown, Wv, raised here my whole life. I am a reliable and experienced pet sitter with 2 years of experience! I will always make sure your pets will be comfortable, safe, exercised, and happy under my care. I am currently out of school right now until fall, so I have a lot of time on my hands. I work in the mornings: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays 10-4. Anytime after or before that your pets will have my full attention. Monday and Friday I am free all day, so me and your furry friends can have as much fun as we want! My pets are used to routines, so if you have any sort of routine would like me to follow I can do it. Anything from feeding, playing, walking, medicine, not a problem!

About: I have decades of experience with both cats and dogs! I have a reactive/senior dog that I have had since he was a puppy. He also suffered from severe separation anxiety, that I had to help him with when we first got him. I rescued him from the Humane Society. I have had training with him, to help give him his best life. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from puppy/kitten to senior age and every age in between. I do have basic pet training skills, including leash training, as well. I also can administer oral medication when needed for dogs. I have experience with dogs with special needs, such as, blindness and special dietary needs. I have experience with active/herding dogs as well. My senior dog Willow, was a boarder/lab. She recently crossed over the rainbow bridge. She was over 13. She was a very active girl. I also have 2 grand dogs. A 4 year old male Great Dane/hound and a 1 1/2 year old male Australian shepherd. I take care of them from time to time when my family needs me too. I also have several clients that I regularly take care of their pets while they’re either at work or away on vacation. I offer several types of services for your pets. I can do drop ins/potty breaks, walks/playtime or overnight stays when you’re away or on vacation. I also provide photos/videos, so that you can see how much fun your fur baby is having while you’re away! I do have experience with multiple dogs/cats households. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) and helping to provide caregiving services for your pet! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most days with notice ahead of time. On occasion, I can do non-scheduled pet care times as well. When caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions for your pets needs. We can discuss how much time your pet can be left alone, as well as, if they need to be crated while left alone. If I am taking care of your pet while you’re away for overnight stays, I will generally check on your pet every 4 to 5 hours unless noted otherwise.

“Arnie is very good with Bella, as he understand little dog behavior and cues. Bella loved her walks and affection from Arnie, and looks forward to more walks in his care.”

“Such an amazing dog walker! My dog absolutely LOVES her. She’s always on time, caring, and attentive with our pup. We feel so lucky to have found her. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“I’ve had an amazing experience with Sophia. She is reliable, friendly, and clearly loves what she does. My dog Kane absolutely adores her, and I always come home to a happy, well-exercised pup. Sophia is punctual, communicative, and always go the extra mile—whether it’s sending photo updates or making sure Kane gets a little extra care when needed. I feel totally at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

About: I have been a vet tech and animal educator in the past. I’m very flexible with scheduling, and understand last minute things come up. I am happy to work with whatever pet needs you have! For locals I can pop in as often as needed, I’m happy to be flexible with your needs. My availability right now is wide open. I am comfortable with pets that need medical care, pets that are less comfortable with people/strangers/ other animals, and the less common pets. I believe in full transparency, and will provide your pets with the care you would give them yourself.

About: As a dedicated pet caregiver, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. I currently care for my own three dogs—a 5-year-old Rottweiler, Koda, a 1-year-old Shepherd/Pit mix, Gus, and an 8-year-old English Bulldog, Daisy—each with their own unique needs and personalities. From high-energy walks to gentle care for senior dogs, I’m well-versed in providing attentive, reliable, and loving support. I manage daily routines including feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise, and I understand the importance of consistency and patience in pet care. My experience makes me confident in handling a wide range of canine behaviors and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I’m passionate about caring for animals outside of my full-time job. I work weekdays from 8 AM to 3 PM, which allows me to be available for evening visits during the week and fully available on weekends. This schedule gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care—whether it’s for evening walks, feeding, or full-day care on Saturdays and Sundays. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment. In my home, pets are treated like family—with plenty of affection, structured routines, and supervised play. I ensure regular feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise, tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I respectfully follow their established routines to help pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I’m attentive to each animal’s behavior and comfort, and I’m always focused on providing consistent, reliable care.

About: My sister runs a board and train service at my home so I have been around all different types of dog breeds for a few years now. I go to school and play softball at my University but I have morning classes and will have practice in the evening with plenty of time in between to be with your animal. I have a large community yard right in front of my home to let your dogs outside and 3 roommates who are also dog lovers and will give your animal lots of love!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and while I've mostly had boxers, I absolutely adore all breeds! I know how to handle hyper pups with plenty of love and energy. Since I was recently laid off from my job, I’m excited to be available to care for your furry friends! I’m currently looking to make some extra cash while I’m between jobs, so I’m available to provide loving, attentive care for your pets whenever you need me! When I care for pets in my clients' homes, my top priority is their comfort and happiness! During dog walks, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and fun. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, I tailor each walk to fit your dog's personality and energy level. For pet sitting, I strive to create a warm and loving environment. I stick to your pets’ routines for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks, so they feel right at home. I’ll keep your space tidy, give any medications if needed, and I love to share updates and photos to keep you in the loop about your furry friends. My goal is to make sure they’re happy and well-cared for while you’re away!

About: You can always count on me to show up on time, give your pup my full attention, and keep you updated with photos and notes. I am currently play basketball at Shepherd University so I have free time and I enjoy being around animals. Definitely one of my greatest hobbies! I love to take care of animals I’ve had dogs my whole life! Stay in a safe environment and take care of them like my own

“Karen is a very pleasant lady and took good care of my older higher energy pittie. She was attentive to my dog's behaviors and needs.”

About: I have stepped up and taken care of pets from family members since I can remember. I am very active and love walking and engaging with any dog and being a companion to any furry friend. I have always valued dogs being an integral part of any family. I am a college student but at nights and weekends is when I am most available. Throughout the day I am available in between classes to stop by and check in. Whenever I am home I will offer companionship and am all for frequent walks and/ or playing. I live with 3 other responsible people who love animals and can keep them company as well.

About: I’ve helped care for my family’s pets for years and have loved every minute. Whether it was scooping poop, brushing, walking, washing, playing with, or cuddling on the couch, I was ready to help! I also have watched friend’s dogs too & love pet sitting. I look forward to meeting your fur baby soon! I currently work full time, but have lots of breaks in my days, particularly in the mornings and afternoons. I’m available to walk or check on your pets whenever they want to stretch their legs! I don’t currently offer watching your pet in my home, but would care for your pet as if it was my own! You tell me what they are used to & I will stick to it. I’m very good at following directions :)

About: With 2 years of dog walking experience and a loving pitbull of my own, I understand just how important it is to keep pups happy, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s a quick walk or some extra playtime, I treat every dog like family — with patience, love, and plenty of tail wags Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time walking, playing with, and caring for my own dog. I build my schedule around making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and consistent so each pet stays on their regular routine and feels cared for every day. In my home, pets are treated like family — with a safe, comfortable space, plenty of playtime, and lots of love. I make sure they stick to their normal routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, or cuddle time, so they always feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, from meal times to exercise needs. My goal is to keep every pet happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I've been pet sitting since I was 15. I've had experience with dogs as small as a 5lb mini chihuahua to a giant great pyrenees. I currently live with a rottweiler named Ruby and a cat named PJ (short for pajama). I'd love to meet your animals! I am currently working from home and have a lose schedule so I am super available to take care of any needs you might have. Dogs or other animals that require extra care, like multiple walks a day or lots of attention, are no problem for me! If needed/wanted I am able (and would love to) take extra time to play with your animals so more than their basic needs are met. I recognize that animals need more than just food and water, social and play time are just as important. Plus, I am pretty good at feeding animals as well.

“Highly recommend Michelle! It's clear that she loves dogs and always does a great job. She's prompt, communicative, and delightful to work with. She's walking my two active puppies on a weekly basis, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Michelle!”

About: I have owned many different breeds of dogs including Rottweiler/Shepheard mix, German Shorthaired pointer poodels and more. I have watched my family, pets when they go on vacation I am a semi-retired nurse. I currently manage some real estate which does not take much of my time. This is a perfect way for me to spend more time doing what I love which is being outdoors, and being with dogs. I have a fenced yard and one very friendly terrier mix. I have crates available if needed. I live in a nice neighborhood where I can easily walk your pooch if you are boarding. I have reliable transportation to come to your house to walk you dog. I can also, if requested, drive your dog to a park to walk them.

“Rosie is consistent, reliable, and proactive in her comms. She always sends pictures of food, walks, treats, etc and she helps put your mind at ease with her dependability! Rosie is the best!”
