Dog Walkers in Smith Crossroads, WV

“Cheryl and her husband was the kindest people I’ve ever met. I would use her over and over again. Mia loved her. It was a very hot day and they still took her out for a walk. Thank you again, Cheryl!”

About: I have been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life. Over the years, I have been a pet parent (or pet grandparent!) to fish, birds, mice, rats, and even ferrets! As the current owner of one rotten Border Collie and six spoiled cats, my pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and stress free when you can’t be there. I would love the opportunity to give your fur babies the love and care they need, and deserve, in your absence. I am currently a stay-at-home wife and the mom of one grown and flown daughter with plenty of time available to take care of you, and your fur baby’s, needs. As a trusted person in your home, careful attention detail and leaving things as they found them is of utmost importance to me! I want you and your fur babies to be comfortable and secure in the fact that I will care for them in a way you would, and carefully follow any care instructions given to ensure their safety, and your peace of mind.

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.

“Grace has been a wonderful addition to our fur kiddos lives. We are sad to see her move away and I know Peyton and Liam will miss seeing her every day. Grace is a wonderful dog walker and person. Best of luck with your move.”

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.

“Rebecca gave our two pups walks rain or shine while we were gone on vacation for 10 days. Great communication and she was able to make friends with our little mini golden doodle who barks at everyone! Would definitely consider using Rebecca again in the future!”

About: Currently a Vet Assistant. I have become familiar with the body language of dogs and cats of all sizes. Coworkers have relied on me to spend time with their own pets for as little as a few hours to a few days. I always do my best to make sure your pets are as comfortable as I care for them. I have plenty of time on Saturdays and Sundays to play with, watch, or walk your pets as you need. Whether you need me to stop in or have an extended visit! I will maintain open communication and send pictures with how your pets is doing. I will always check to see if there are any hazards before leaving and follow instructions for your pets that you might have.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly my passion. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a wise senior dog, or any furry (or feathered!) friend in between, I provide gentle, attentive care tailored to their needs. I’m experienced in supporting elder dogs with patience and compassion, as well as giving puppies the energy, training, and affection they need to thrive. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with love, comfort, and plenty of tail wags. With a flexible part-time schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, playtime, and cuddles—whether it’s a quick midday visit or multiple check-ins a day. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first, and I’m happy to work around their needs to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets are treated like family—they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable space with plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles. I make sure they have fresh food, water, and a cozy place to rest, as well as regular potty breaks or litter box cleanings. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines so pets feel secure and stress-free, keeping their feeding, exercise, and cuddle schedules just as you would. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s energetic play, gentle walks, or quiet companionship.

About: I have owned many animals throughout my life. I currently have a German Shepherd puppy and two cats. The love I have for animals runs deep. I will treat your animal as I would mine. I have a lot of experience with larger dog breeds and high energy dog breeds. Your fur baby will be treated with love, care, and kindness while in my care. In the future it is my dream to open my own rescue and help all the beautiful animals who have not been shown the love and kindness that they so genuinely deserve to be treated with. I’ve had animals since I was a young girl and I genuinely find comfort being around all fur babies needing my help out there. I am free Monday-Friday after 3:30 pm and any hours on the weekend. Available for evening visits if your stuck at work, getting home late, want to make plans but need to tend to your animals. My animals are family so they are well taken care of at home. I would treat yours the same way and ensure their safety and well being.

About: I have had the honor of having dogs my entire life. Recently, helped my daughter potty training her last to rescue puppies. They have become protectors of my grandchildren. I'm currently enjoying my summer break and would love to offer my services for walks during the early mornings and evenings. On cooler days, I’m also available for midday walks. Additionally, if you need overnight care, I can provide that service in your home upon request. Currently, I do not have pets in my home, as I do not have a fenced yard that would allow them to safely play and enjoy outdoor activities.

About: I will ensure your fur family is well taken care of with over 20 years experience caring for cats and dogs I’d be honored to care for your fur children. 😊 I work from home so I have a flexible schedule that would allow me to be available during most times of the day in my home or yours. This would be discussed based on each pet parents specifications and preferences, we would ensure that a safety plan is set in place for each pet.

“Tessa did a wonderful job with taking care of our dogs. She arrived on time and spent more than enough time with each of our babies. She can also be trusted! Highly recommend!”
