Pet Sitting Shepherdstown

About: I don't think I've ever not had a dog! I have taken care of dogs of all ages and backgrounds growing up not only did I dog sit for friends and family, but my family fostered rescue dogs for the mid-atlantic german shorthair pointer rescue. I have some rudimentary puppy training knowledge, and I’m very comfortable around puppies! I am well versed in senior dog care including administering medications. I also have experience in dogs that have some mild to medium temperament issues from working with rescue dogs and my past dog sitting experience. I am an early bird so it would be easy for me to cater a short commute to school or fit in some morning exercise for your pup. I am a college student who has class every day during the week, from mid-morning the earliest being nine thirty and ending early in the afternoon two o'clock at the latest. I am very active and I often go for runs/walks in the evening and I would love to have a dog along come with me! At home I have two very active dogs and I have had very high energy dogs my entire life at home. I’m always throwing a dog toy either into the pool or a ball in the yard. I treat all of my clients dogs like my own! Even if it's just for a quick visit or a walk!

“Kristen is wonderful! I will be honest an say that I was very skeptical about all this and I was afraid my puppy would be scared but as soon as she came to meet us, Koda went right up to her an started being the wild baby he is! It made my heart so happy! She's been here once so far but if I could,(if I could afford it)😜, id try an book her everyday of the week! She sent me a little report card🤭, SO cute!! Letting me know what all they did, what she walked in on an all the details u ask for. They went outside an on a little yard walk lol, he's still learning! She is very patient with him! She's great! Also very good at communicating! To me thats very important! I have adhd an no kids, my animals are my kids an I am very protective! Nobody is gna hurt my baby an Kristen isn't gna allow that either! You can txt her anytime with anything u may think of. Great, great, great!!🥰”

About: Hi! I’m a college student and huge dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs and the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also volunteer with a local shelter through their Doggy Day Out program and help out with a local rescue, which has given me experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds and temperaments. On top of that, I regularly dog sit and care for dogs in my area for friends, family, and neighbors. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and loved while their owners are away! 🐾 My schedule is very flexible! I nanny Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, but I’m available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays for pet care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Thanks Teri! You did a terrific job! I would highly recommend Teri to watch your pets. From the first time she met my boys they took a liking to her and I could tell they were going to be friends. I don’t like to leave my pets with just anyone, they mean to much to me, but I will leave them with Teri anytime! Thanks again Teri!!”

“Heather is AMAZING!! We are truly blessed to have found her! I was worried that no one would want to take on four Siberian Huskies, two of them being puppies! She genuinely cares about them and goes above and beyond to see that they are shown lots of love and affection. I would highly recommend Heather, especially if you’re a worried dog parent who hates to leave their four legged babies. She has put my mind at ease knowing they are well cared for.”

“Hana was kind and gentle with our border collie. She was timely with her visits and sent updates each time. We will definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Disha has taken care of my two cats several times and I trust her with them completely. She maintains contact when I travel and sends update photos. When they first met her, they took to her right away and everytime she takes care of them, I know they will be happy and well taken care of. She also does considerate things like picking up mail/packages and when needed, feeds the fish as well. I feel confident in her judgement and actions in daily care and if an emergency arose. My pets are part of my family and I am careful in my selection of caretakers. I highly recommend Disha! I continue to call on her whenever I need pet care.”

About: I have two dogs of my own. My older dog, Ive raised from puppy to dog and give oral meds to him daily. My younger dog, I took over caring for from my parents but he is the best addition to my home. I have cared for dogs in the past for my parents, friends and others dog owners when they go out of town. I am experienced with all dog types and would love to meet your pet! I do work full time but have 3 day weekends for my schedule. I love to get outside with my dogs after work and would love to do the same with your pets! If this works for you, please contact me through Rover to schedule a time to meet. I have watched both peoples houses and pets while they have been on vacation so you don't need to worry about either when you are away from your pets. I can also take care of any house plants and other types of pets as well!

About: My husband and I have been around dogs our entire life, small to large breed, we love dogs! Our little one absolutely loves having them around, being outside, throwing ball, treats, etc. So, your pet would need to be great with kids :) We live in the beautiful Whittier neighborhood with plenty of walking options. Our backyard is enclosed with a high eight foot fence. So, your pet would be plenty comfortable. Or, if you're away, I could come to your pet for their time outdoors. I have a small SUV, so transportation is always an option! We're comfortable letting your pet roam the house while we're here and away. We would only take on more than one dog after talking to the owner of our current stay, and the dogs are compatible, or they come from the same home! With that said, we do not have any four legged pets of our own.... only tanked ones ;) three amano shrimp, two tetras, and two narite snails! So, your pet will have the luxury of our undivided attention! When your pet would come to stay with us, we do ask for as much info/'their 'stuff' as you can bring/provide regarding your pets normal/routine at their home, commands, tricks, toys, food, bedding... etc so your pet is comfortable and enjoys their time here, and so we can keep them in as much of a similar framework as their home. The Rover site allows for pics and videos. So, we like to take a few during their stay and send them to owners! Our current stay and past stays have really enjoyed this! Prior to you or us making a decision on your pets stay, we would like for you all and your pet to visit our home. This will allow you to see and get a sense of our neighborhood and home - where your pet will be staying, and meet us! I hope this has been helpful for you!

“I love Leslie! She is now my go-to when we need a sitter! She is punctual and always sends great pics and updates on what my cats are doing... and we have a lot of cats.”

“Jessica is simply the best! My kitty loved having her visit while I was away! I am forever grateful for the care and love she gave during my time away. She's a real animal lover that goes above and beyond! She is trustworthy and I will always have her care for my animals when I am away.”

“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”
