“Loved booking with Brittni, very easy process. She was available any time I had a question or just wanted to check in on Max. He loved it there snd I’m happy I found someone that he is comfortable with so that I don’t have to be anxious while away.”
“Ronda is an amazing dog sitter!! She was friendly with us as well as the dog. I felt confident after the play meet because she let our good dog kairi run around in every room and outside. The house was very clean, freshly scented and safe for dogs. We were sent pictures everyday without asking or bothering her. We had no complaints for a whole 9 days on vacation to California. We will always contact her for future dog sitting no matter the duration. We trust her and she’s a good, nice, modern, casual, and sweet person. Easy to talk with and recommend her for sure upon being strangers. Ronda watched our pitbull with confidence with all the true information about Kairi. It worked out. Thank you so much!!”
“Very responsive and sent many pictures of the dogs. Ares, being a large puppy, is a lot, but Jeanne was so kind to take him in and watch my pups. I would recommend her as a dog sitter to anyone in the area and would book again with her if needed!”
“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”
“Amanda and her kids were very attentive to my dogs needs and took really great care of them. Amanda always responded when I messaged her about the dogs and sent me pics of their stay. I know my dogs can be alot to handle and I truly commend Amanda for taking care of my two dogs ontop of taking care of her 3 children! I was very pleased with how everything went. One of her children even sent my dogs home with a toy that was handmade for him! I highly recommend Amanda to sit your dogs they will be well taken care of!”

Finn clearly took a liking to Brandon and loved all of the love, attention, activities he provided. I would 100% recommend Brandon and definitely plan to use him in the future”

About: I currently have three boxers…and if you know the breed, they take quite a bit of patience to raise! We go for walks all the time and I’m a good leash trainer, and have experience in leash aggression and helping to break it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that I can work with you to find an agreeable arrangement. Available on short notice as well! I would be happy to keep your dog, or dogs, company, feed them, have play time or just share some snuggles until you get back!
“If you are looking for a pet sitter, you can stop right now. Janet did drop in visits with my cat and the experience was even better than I could have imagined. I received daily updates and pictures from her. I know my cat (Lucy) adored Janet because when I returned from my trip, she seemed less than pleased that it was me coming in the door and not Janet. ;) . I will be hiring Janet for all my cat sitter (and spoiler!) needs in the future.”
“Jeanne is always attentive to our fur babies, is a great communicator, and follows our directions well. We can travel with a clear mind and know our fur babies are being taken care of.”
“Loved knowing that our little sweeties were being taken care of and loved on while we were out of town. The check-in notices and photos were an added bonus. Communication with Olivia was super quick and she was responsive to questions. We’d hire olivia again in a minute!”
About: I have taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was 8. A couple years ago I decided I wanted to start professionally pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors and I did just that! While they are on vacation or at work, they have relied on me to walk, feed, play, and cuddle with their furry friends and I hope you will allow me to do the same for you! I am currently working part-time in the mornings, however, will always make time for your fur babies! During the day, I walk and feed my own animals and can do the same for you! Whatever care you need for your animals, I can do (besides giving medicine through needles and running)! If you need me to walk them a mile each morning I can do it! I can follow any schedule you give me if your furry friend follows one and can crate them if needed! I love sleeping with cats and dogs so that won’t be a problem either if they like sleeping with you! If your dog is a cuddler, no worries, cuddles are my favorite thing!
“Emma went above and beyond in my time of need. I had a last minute request while I was out of town to feed & check on my mom’s 3 cats while she was in the hospital. Emma was responsive, attentive, great at communicating and took away my stress regarding caring for my moms beloved cats. THANK YOU & we will definitely use her again. ?”

My family used to have horses, goats, birds, turtles, hamsters, squirrels, dogs, and cats growing up. My mom has been breeding German Shepards consistently for about 5 years now. I’ve helped her raise numerous litters and have spent countless hours playing with puppies. We also have 9 dogs total, 8 being German Shepards and one little dog, so I am more than comfortable taking care of dogs and happy to do so.

Then our other dogs each have their own kennels that are big enough to run around in. We crate them separately at night. We also have a big backyard that is fenced in, where they can roam around and play.

About: I’m a recent college graduate who loves dogs even more than people! I recently lost my puppy due to bone cancer he developed early on in his life. I’ve been around big and small dogs almost my entire life and would love to get to interact with more puppies (I always call dogs puppies because I see all dogs as puppies lol). Since I was a kid I’ve always felt I’ve had a deep connection to dogs and have always been able to understand what they need and want. Whether the dogs need a bath or need to go on a walk every hour on the hour I’m up for the commitment. I’m not afraid of dogs of any size and I’m ready to give my love and compassion to as many dogs as I possibly can. I work from home so I can essentially work from home anywhere as long as there is wifi available. I would like to begin with 2 days a week and if I feel the schedule and chemistry is right I could increase the days. I’m very good with dogs and if they are already on a schedule, I am happy to keep them on it. I’m a very big cuddled especially with dogs so I would mostly sit on a couch or table and keep an eye on the pet while I work and if there’s a communicative sign that they need to go outside I will take them right out. I am not on a tight schedule so I can take your pet out as often as they need.

About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available daily as Chad stays at home weekly. Karen is available to help out on weekends. Please let us know how we can help!

I’ve experienced small and large breeds alike, with my current pup being a King Cavalier Spaniel. Goose’s cousins who we see weekly are two Golden retrievers and one rescue mix. I’m able to be flexible or rigid when it comes to your pets schedule, and am knowledgeable in special diets, fresh pet food, administering meds if needed. I have the luxury of working from home and creating my own schedule which makes my days very flexible! I currently can accept pets for boarding, play dates or walks Sunday through Thursday, 9:30am to 10pm. I have a fenced in back yard and a puppy who loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. My dog is allowed to be on all furniture and sleep in the bed and your pet would be permitted to as well if that is your preference!

“April took wonderful care of Hank today during his daycare stay. He is snoring as we speak from all of his fun sniffing in the yard and working on a puzzle toy. Her large fenced in yard is any dog’s dream!! We received lots of pictures and were laughing at his many doggy yoga poses. I am an anxious dog mom and I was able to relax today while away. April was wonderful with her communication and really put me at ease during our meet and greet! We would highly recommend her!”
“Nathan was great with communicating! He sent lots of pictures and videos and even recorded the walks they had. Nathan was very patient and helpful with Dug. I will definitely use him in the future!”
“Brandon is terrific! He is a dog and human whisperer alike, putting us and our dog at ease. Cleo was able to relax and join the pack allowing us to breathe a sigh of relief. We will be using his boarding services again for sure.”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 28 years old! I've had dogs my whole life and my dream is to own my own dog sitting business. I am currently a Travel Physical Therapist full time. On the weekends or even week days I would love to watch your pup. Watching dogs or cats is fun for me. I'm from WV, and went to Marshall University. I'm super active and will walk your dog when needed. Your fur baby will be in good hands! I am a full time physical therapist. I get off on fridays at 1 pm so I would be able to watch your dog over the weekend! I have two friendly small dogs. There is a dog park close by that I could take your animals to. My dogs sleep with me and are crate trained when I leave.
About: I've taken care of different animals my whole life. I have personal experience taking care of my senior dog that was blind. During that time,I learned how to give oral medications and instill eye drops. Safety was a main priority. My house looked like an obstacle course, with cushions and pillows around anything he could run into, baby gates at the stairs, etc,but it was all for the love of my dear Comet. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats as well. Whether it was a drop in visit, a walk, a bath or an over night stay, etc; I enjoyed every bit of it. Animals have my heart, even if they are not my own. They are my escape and bring me so much joy and happiness. With todays society and how some people treat animals, I believe us animal lovers need to come together and give every animal that we can the love and treatment they deserve. That is why I would be a good choice to care for your family member, I would treat them as if they were my own. I currently work a full time job from home. I work 7am to 3:30 pm. I have every weekend off. I could easily have your dog at my home for the day or do drop in visits and walks after 3:30. If I do services at my home, I have a big back yard,where I will have a fenced in play area so your dog can play freely. I also have a large back deck that can be enclosed with baby gates. I have a 4 year old male Maltese Yorkie, I love spending time outside with him, especially in the summer months, so that is most likely where we would be. There is an umbrella on the deck and a large tree that provides plenty of shade. I also have a baby pool that is always filled with fresh water,so they will be able to take a dip to cool off or play ,along with a sprinkler that my dog loves to play in. There is also a long gravel driveway next door to me that leads to a farm that I can take your dogs for walks on. My home is clutter free and smoke free. Nothing is out that my dog could get into and potentially cause harm. For dog walking, I ask that your dog has a harness and a reliable leash. There are a few places that I take my dog for walks. Those include, Mosquito Lake, Buhl Park , a development that my parents live in and a development my boyfriends mother lives in. I am very familiar with all of these locations. Mosquito Lake also has a dog park that I could take your dog to ,if you would like. If there is an area your dog is familiar with and has been to or if you live in a development , I would be more than happy to walk them there. I stay alert and always stay aware of my surroundings. During transportation to and from anywhere, I have a backseat barrier in my car. I am all about keeping my dog and others pets safe, so whatever I can do to achieve that is what I will do. For drop in visits, I ask for details about your pets needs and what needs to be done. During my visits I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I will spend time with them and give them the attention they need before I leave.
“Stephanie is great!! She sends me photos of Zanya on their walks along with a step counter and I love that. She's very responsive and always updates on how their walks went. Bonus because I have a lot of exotic pets as well and she doesn't discriminate 🥰 Great dog Walker and pet sitter!”
“Without hesitation, without any doubt I would have Kelly watch our fur babies again! We have two terrier/yorkie mixes. Our girl is very anxious and timid, especially around strangers. However, at our very first meet BOTH our dogs allowed Kelly to pet them and walk them. There are just certain people that animals gravitate to and just know that they have that kindness about them-Kelly is one of those people!”
“Brandy clearly loves dogs and mine took to her right away. I love getting the updates and photos from their walks. You do want a reliable and flexible person taking care of your dog and she is that. Highly recommend Brandy!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since before I was in elementary school. I have had a dog of my own for 10 years and I have been relied on by friends and family members to watch their animals when they are away. I’m currently a full-time college student at Ohio University, so taking care of pets is more of a weekend or holiday gig for me! I could fit a daily walk in to my schedule too! However you need me to care for your pets, I can do it! I am incredibly patient when it comes to animals and am willing to do just about anything to make them happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have pets. I truly love caring for pets of all kinds. Dogs, cats, fish, etc... My schedule is extremely flexible, so I'm able to fit into whatever time slot is needed to best care for your pet, and keep them on a schedule. I feel the best way to care for pets is to earn their trust. It's never a good idea to force yourself on a pet, but to read their body language and take it from there.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. We’ve always had up to 5 dogs at a time. I know the temperaments on dogs can change and it takes time for them to warm up to new people and surroundings. I’ve had experience with small, big, young and senior dogs! I have a car, I work 5 days a week, but I’m free before and after work, I love walking and getting out of the house! I take care of my dogs on a daily basis, all the essentials cares such as feeding, watering, bathing, taking them outside and sometimes walks.

“Ronda is an amazing dog sitter!! She was friendly with us as well as the dog. I felt confident after the play meet because she let our good dog kairi run around in every room and outside. The house was very clean, freshly scented and safe for dogs. We were sent pictures everyday without asking or bothering her. We had no complaints for a whole 9 days on vacation to California. We will always contact her for future dog sitting no matter the duration. We trust her and she’s a good, nice, modern, casual, and sweet person. Easy to talk with and recommend her for sure upon being strangers. Ronda watched our pitbull with confidence with all the true information about Kairi. It worked out. Thank you so much!!”
“Very responsive and sent many pictures of the dogs. Ares, being a large puppy, is a lot, but Jeanne was so kind to take him in and watch my pups. I would recommend her as a dog sitter to anyone in the area and would book again with her if needed!”
“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”

About: I’ve had a fur companion all of my life! I’ve successfully raised and trained five dogs from puppies and I have experience with rescue pups who may not feel entirely comfortable in their new environment. I’ve experienced small and large breeds alike, with my current pup being a King Cavalier Spaniel. Goose’s cousins who we see weekly are two Golden retrievers and one rescue mix. I’m able to be flexible or rigid when it comes to your pets schedule, and am knowledgeable in special diets, fresh pet food, administering meds if needed. I have the luxury of working from home and creating my own schedule which makes my days very flexible! I currently can accept pets for boarding, play dates or walks Sunday through Thursday, 9:30am to 10pm. I have a fenced in back yard and a puppy who loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. My dog is allowed to be on all furniture and sleep in the bed and your pet would be permitted to as well if that is your preference! Goose and I take several walks a day and love to take day trips to various area dog parks and hiking trails or enjoy a lazy afternoon on the couch.
