Pet Sitting in Smithville

About: I have cared for and been around dogs throughout my whole life. I have always had a passion for animals! I love to run and play with dogs that have as much energy as I do or even just hangout on the couch and enjoy a relaxing day. I want to meet all of your pets needs even in last minute circumstances so that their humans can enjoy a stress free experience! Traveling and unexpected situations can be difficult and I want to make sure your pet is comfortable. I’m familiar with caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I currently make my own work schedule and have extremely flexible days. I’m always willing to adjust when needed. I love all sizes and breeds so I can accommodate any energy level as well I have a very loving and super friendly puppy of my own who would love to keep your pet company! We go for lots of walks throughout the day and get lots of time outside. I have cats as well that are very friendly with dogs but they can also be kept away in their own space if need be!

“Bethany went above and beyond! Provided pics and great updates, arrived exactly at scheduled times, would absolutely recommend!”

“Jaylee did a great job of caring for my two kitties. She communicated well so I always knew what was going on each day, both morning & evening. The daily photos I received reassured me and some even made me laugh. I highly recommend Jayleen.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of different dogs, senior dogs who need extra care, puppies who need basic training and hours of playing, and calm dogs who wanna watch the evening news with you, I will treat your dog like they’re my own and I’m confident in my ability to treat your pet in the special ways they need. I’m currently working two days a week, which means I am very flexible with pet care, and would love to do what I can to help my community! I have a 6 month old puppy who’s never met a stranger, he loves to play and we’ll make sure they get their energy out. Your pet will be allowed on furniture and treated as my own.

About: What sets me apart is my experience, reliability, and genuine love for dogs. I’m a 21-year-old exercise physiology student who loves being active and outdoors—walking dogs is the perfect combo! I’ve dog sat and walked for many families and have two Australian Shepherds of my own, Georgia and Ruby, who I miss dearly while at school. I’ve also volunteered with hospice patients and babysat my whole life, so I’m comfortable with responsibility and care. Whether your dog is playful, shy, young, or senior—I’ll treat them like family! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I’m a senior at WVU with a flexible internship and classes only a few days a week. I’m available Tuesday and Thursday after 11, Wednesdays until 3, Fridays until 2, and weekends until 3. I love being outside and staying active, so walking and caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy and easily make time for in my schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I always prioritize their routine, comfort, and safety—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of outdoor time, or just being a calming presence. I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and exercise, especially since I enjoy being active myself. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry friend is in good hands!

“Kandy was awesome with our girl. I loved that I could leave her with someone who is comfortable around big dogs. She was able to make responsible, in person decisions about her care that took a load off my mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

Sydney R.

“Abby was a wonderful and attentive sitter, and we’ll definitely request her help again in the future! She handled our pets’ dinner time and gave them regular walks. Both of our dogs have their quirks, and Abby was incredibly understanding, following all our guidelines perfectly. Thank you, Abby!”

About: I have always loved interacting with animals, they are a joy to be around. Pet sitting has always been a fun opportunity for me to earn income since middle school, and now that I am embarking on my law school journey, I hope to continue that trend. I am comfortable assisting dogs and cats of any age. I’m dedicated to your pets comfort & happiness, and will treat your pet how I would hope you would treat mine, like family! I have been employed as a full-time nanny in the cheat lake area for the past three years. I will be starting law school at wvu this August! During the week, I will not be confined to a classroom all day, and will be sure to communicate my availability when you reach out with your pets needs. We have a spacious, fully fenced in backyard. Your pet will also have free range of our finished basement. Pictures of the space available upon request! While your animal will not be confined to a crate in our home, we do prefer that they are house and crate trained.

About: I have been caring for pets for the past three years, earning the trust of friends, family, and clients who rely on me to keep their pets safe. During this time, I have been working with Wag!, and since I recently moved, I am starting to work here as well. I have completed over 400 walks through Wag!, along with several sittings and boardings, leading to many repeat clients and happy pups. I am comfortable working with pets of all sizes and temperaments. In addition to my client-based pet care, I also work at Animal Friends Shelter, where I learn new things about quality care, medical needs, and behavioral needs every day. When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking with my dog and continuing my education. I am a member of Pet Sitters International, from whom I have received my insurance. They offer monthly courses focused on quality in-home pet care. I am saving up for their professional pet sitter certification and hope to complete all their coursework soon. Additionally, I am a supporting member of the IAABC Foundation, which is led by animal behaviorists and trainers. I am following some of their continuing education courses, combined with my hours working at the animal shelter, to earn their credentials in shelter behavior. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule and can change my availability as needed. I have a two person home with my husband who can also help out (for boarding in my personal home) if I had to leave for an emergency I live in a large house with an unfenced backyard and multiple safe areas set up for pet care. I have two cats and one dog in the home

“Angela was absolutely amazing. After having a bad experience with a previous sitter that resulted in the loss of one of our boys, Angela truly made us feel at ease. She was in constant communication and truly treated them as if they were her own. Our one dog has health conditions that has resulted in lack of bladder control and Angela didn't hesitate to clean up after him going above and beyond she even cleaned up the rager that our Houdini through when he escaped his kennel during the night. We are so thrilled to have found Angela and will continue to use her in the future.”

“Tracey is incredible professional, patient and kind. We agreed to a drop in visit schedule and when that didn’t work out Tracey went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for by staying over and house sitting with no advance notice. Her communication about the situation was so dependable. She is an excellent asset to the rover community!”

“Kayden was excellent with my coonhound Lucille! I contacted Kayden about watching Lucille only two days before I went out of town. He responded immediately and we were able to arrange a meet and greet the same evening. Lucille is a large/strong dog and can be difficult on walks, but Kayden handled her well. He updated with pictures on each visit. Kayden also noticed when my cat was out of food and took the extra time to feed her. I will definitely use him in the future!”

About: I have owned pets of all kinds my whole life, and have always helped with their care. This includes dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, horses, and chickens. I have cared for animals of all ages as well, from tiny puppies and kittens to seniors if all kinds! I have been pet sitting for family and friends since a young age and professionally took it on at the age of 20. I’m experienced with giving medicine and basic training as well. I have my partner, who has a very similar background in pet care, tag along with me just in case I need an extra set of hands but if you’d prefer just one person, I’m happy to be a team of one! I’d always prefer to do a meet and greet before taking on care tasks just to make sure me and your furry friend mesh well. I am a stay at home pet parent so my schedule is wide open. I am available more often than not, so please feel free to inquire about availability! I am a huge animal lover so any animal in my care will be treated as if they were my own! I care deeply about any and all animals and it is my priority to put your pets health and happiness first.
