“Jessica is amazing! She has walked Luke many times in the past and we always had a great experience with her. This time we were going on vacation and took Lukie to her for boarding. She was really great! Kept me updated the entire time and sent me pictures and videos, Luke had an amazing time and even became friends with her kitten. I would definitely recommend her. I was at ease knowing Lukie was well taken care of. She treated him like if he was her own pup.”
“I have found my new home away from home for my two boys! Tiffany’s place is wonderful , and my boys had an excellent time! She takes great care of her dogs and their people! I highly recommend her and her business! My pups returned BERY happy and the pictures of them are fabulous!”
“Jennifer was amazing! Our pup had a great weekend in Jennifer’s home and playing in her fenced-in yard. Jennifer even sent us photos throughout the day of what our pup was up to. Will definitely be back!”
“Our dog Hazel had a blast staying with Megan. She was flexible with our drop off time and made our pup a priority. So glad we found someone we can depend on to take care of our best friend.”
“She was able to watch my dog on very short notice and willing to give meds not noted on my profile as they were only temporary. She sent lots of photos, was very responsive, and it looked like she treated my dog like her own. 10/10 would have her watch my pup again - thanks, Sophia!”
“Tiffany was amazing taking care of my Tinkerbell. She was super responsive and provided frequent, daily updates. I never went without photos of Tinkerbell the whole week she stayed with Tiffany, which I appreciated very much. Tinkerbell clearly became comfortable very quickly in the new environment. I would highly recommend Tiffany with her caring, compassionate demeanor.”
“Megan was an incredible. Provided daily updates, pictures and took care of my anxious pup. This was the first time Jack has spent a full week from me, and I am thankful to have found Megan!”
“Brandi really gives me a comfortable and carefree vacation! When my kitties come back, I see them really happy and cheerful, growing big for a little bit. I know they must have a great time there!”
“Nikki was great! She sent us pics several times a day and our dog seemed to be having a great time which allowed us to relax and enjoy our family get-together. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely use her again.”
“Lauren & Taylor did a wonderful job caring for my dog. They sent pictures and updates each day, took her for walks and she was a happy pup when we went to pick her up!!! Really appreciated them!!”
“Solar and his roommate Calvin are incredible. They took the best care of my senior dog who has a lot of special medical needs. I felt so comfortable with both of them watching him!”
About: Hi my name is Heather. I am an evening part time cashier and have been married to a wonderful guy for 16 years. I love to travel and have recently started visiting baseball stadiums as a new hobby. I have several years of caring experience with canines as I have four little fur kids of my own 1-Chihuahuas (male-Jack) 1- Tomcat (Murphy) and 1- Female kitten (Lady). I also care for my sisters dachshund (Ryder) when they go out of town for long weekends. I’ve been around canines my whole life and have enjoyed every encounter that I’ve had with them. I have flexible availability as you can see by my profile. I am willing to meet any potential clients and their fur babies to see how well they interact with me prior to any commitments and bookings. I work as a part time cashier in the evenings. My husband gets home roughly 3-4 hours after I leave for work during the week and home most weekends. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of running space- stands about 5 foot high. Also have a gated deck that my kids run around on during nice weather days.
“This was our first time boarding with Amber and we couldn't have been happier. She was extremely accommodating with our timeline and provided pictures & feedback throughout our girls visit... this put our minds at ease allowing us to focus on a family matter. Our girl came home happy & tired!!!”
“Tracey was extremely accommodating throughout the entire booking process. She answered any and every question we had before booking. She was very accommodating when it came to drop off and pick up times. During our 2 dogs stay she kept us updated through the day with how they were doing along with plenty of pictures to put us at ease that they were very well taken care of. She truly treated them as her own. Our young lab and pit mix pup are full of energy and can be a handful and that didn’t bother her. I’d feel completely safe leaving them with her again and if we’re ever in the area again we’ll definitely be booking thru her!”
“McKayla and Christian are wonderful sitters. They sent lots of pics and kept me up to speed with everything my pup was doing. I most certainly would rebook with them. Thank you for treating my fur baby as if he was your own ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages and sizes since I was young and none have given me any trouble. I don’t mind picking up messes that any dog might make. I absolutely love playing with them and taking them on walks. I doordash as my job so my availability is 100% open to any kind of needs your dog has. I pick what hours I work with door dash but normally I’ll door dash throughout the day then come home for the day around 5. Although when watching any animal I tend to switch up my hours so I can make sure your pup is getting all the love and attention it needs. I like to keep a clean house so no dog has a chance to get into anything that could harm them or chew on anything not wanted.
About: Hi Loving Furparents, My lifelong passion is interspecies communication, animal care & behavior, ecology, and environmental conservation. I have grown up communicating, training/learning, caretaking, and translating for animals my entire life, and I continue to follow my passion for animal care, rehabilitation, conservation, and helping others learn to listen and communicate with animals. I have recently lost my soul dog and partner of nearly 16 years to osteosarcoma. I have experience learning life lessons our senior friends teach us; to slow down, smell the wildflowers, enjoy the little things in life, lead with empathy, lend a helping hand to one another, and be grateful for the moment we have together. I have experience with caretaking during mobility issues for both animals, using help-em-up harnesses and wheelchairs. Additionally, I have awareness and understanding of training needs when the human is afflicted with chronic illness and mobility impairments, such as helping the animal to learn and be mindful of unsteadiness, fall prevention, etc. My current SDiT and I are working on counterbalance, DPT, crowd guarding, behavior interruptions, and some preliminary scent work. Additional Background of Experience; I grew up in the area with a variety of species throughout the years, from cats & dogs to horses, rodents, fish, chickens & guinea fowl to turtles, etc. This experience came with interspecies management, learning to hand-rear animals, helping animals learn core life skills, assess and rehab injury, hospice care, etc. Later, I completed a multidisciplinary degree from WVU with concentrations in Wildlife Management and Conservation Ecology. At WVU, I completed curriculum including a Service Dog Training course where the dog I worked with (Gretel) graduated the following year to become a certified therapy dog at Chestnut Ridge. Additional courses included Animal Behavior, Equine Hoof and Limb, Equine Assisted Therapy, and Exotic Animal Medicine, among others. Since graduating, I have compiled formal experience working with both domestic animals, wildlife and protection of their habitat. I had the privilege to work abroad in Botswana, Africa at game reserves where we were able to rehabilitate animals, provide game drives, supplemental feeding etc., and interned at Mokolodi Nature Reserve in Botswana, Africa, caring for animals in rehabilitation. I currently work full-time, which unfortunately limits my availability to primarily evenings and weekends at this time. Well-behaved, socialized dogs may be able to join during office work days. I am considering transitioning to full-time animal training, should it be feasible, which may allow for additional availability in the future. Additionally, I am navigating chronic illness after long covid through schedule modification and mindful movement during caretaking. Thank you for your understanding schedule limitations during this transition. Please communicate with me your dogs needs i.e.; whether your pet has separation anxiety, medical needs or food allergies, usual routines that make them feel safe, enrichment or husbandry that helps positively stimulate them mentally and emotionally, triggers to be mindful of/avoid, whether they have off leash recall or there are chase drive trigger concerns and they must stay leashed at all times, and anything else you feel is relevant so we may collaborate on their care plan to provide them the best support. I do have a large crate available for dogs that are most comfortable with crate training when it is necessary to leave them at home. Our geriatric cat Fluffy lives in the home with us (please alert me to dogs that have not been socialized with cats), there is a rescue parrot in the household, and I have a ~55 lb rescue and SDIT who is very friendly and loves having someone to play and run around in the yard with. She was a family member to my geriatric dog with mobility concerns before his passing, and she has experience with older dogs and cats.

“Harley watched our babies on our wedding weekend. We could not be more pleased with her care! She not only came to feed, water, scoop their boxes but went above and beyond by staying to make sure they ate and gave them snuggles. She was very professional and gave us detailed updates each time she checked on them. We highly recommend Harley!”
“Tracey did an absolutely fabulous job dropping in on my cat during a trip. She is incredibly friendly and professional, she went above and beyond for my cat. She sends tons of pictures everyday and is incredibly communicative. Could not recommend a better pet sitter!”
“Would absolutely use Dana again for our pet sitting needs. She did an outstanding job caring for our cats while we were away on vacation. Looking forward to her caring for our pets in the future. 😀”
About: I have experience caring for cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that every cat is different — some are social and playful, while others prefer a calm and patient approach. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, giving lots of attention, and helping cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior and routines so pets can stay happy and cared for in a familiar way.
“Nikki is wonderful. She was my first Rover booking and made me feel at ease. I knew my cats were in good hands. She communicated well and sent pictures, which I enjoyed. Whether you are new to Rover or looking for someone new, I highly recommend Nikki.”
About: My cats are my best friends, so I know the importance of loving your cat as your family member. I love how excited they get when a treat or food is ready for them, and am a top tier litter box cleaner and toy player! I also have a diabetic cat who is insulin-dependent, so I know the importance of keeping a schedule and using correct measures to make sure your baby is well cared for.
About: I genuinely enjoy looking after new doggos and experiencing different personalities and breeds. I've grown up with German Shepherds and Yorkies my entire life, so I'm ready for absolutely any size/breed dog you present to me. I have my own 7 year old Border Collie, Brady, who I've raised since 13 weeks old. I'm comfortable with puppy potty/play routines as well as senior doggies who need a little more special attention and individual care. I live in a cozy home with a fenced in yard, and plenty of space for pups to run around. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I’ve had plenty of close calls with Brady that have helped educate me in basic first aid for dogs, and I can promise you I will do my best to create a safe, supervised environment for your pup so you can feel confident in their healthy, happy return. I work from home full-time, and I will be home pretty much all the time to keep your pup company and make sure everyone’s well taken care of and entertained. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend comfortable. I also have an XL sized crate if your dog wants some alone time or a nested, quiet place to nap.
“Kandy was wonderful with our quirky and special cat Speck. Speck tends to stress out with new people but she was totally fine with Kandy. It was very comforting to know she was well taken care of while we were gone.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Colfax
“Went to Fairmont for work and didn't want to leave my pup at daycare in DC for so long. Tracey was AMAZING!!! I may be the biggest worrier on the planet, but she put my mind at ease within an hour. Got so many pictures and videos of all the pups playing and eventually being worn out. Even learned that mine likes cats (I had a suspicion). I wish Tracey and I lived closer so we could visit more often. She would definitely be my go-to! If she's available next time we're near Morgantown/Fairmont, we'll be back. Thanks Tracey!!!”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with Webster. She sent me videos and pics throughout the day and really made me feel at ease with having my puppy out of my care for the day. Thank you so much Jessica.”

“We needed a dog sitter while visiting WVU for the day. We found Megan and were happy to use her doggy daycare for our Takoa. Megan communicated with me often and checked in about how Takoa was doing with her dogs. He had such a fun time with her amd loved her 2 labs! We will definitely reach out again when we are visiting the area and highly recommend her!”

“Tiffany did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies while my husband and I spent a day out of town. We have a very young puppy that isn't able to go to daycare until he receives all of his vaccinations. Tiffany was very flexible and went above and beyond to accommodate us. She provided drop-in services to our home several times throughout the day. She sent messages and picture updates to update us.”

About: I've spent my whole life surrounded by animals—caring for everything from playful puppies and cuddly cats to bunnies, ferrets, and more. I’ve fostered kittens, helped them grow strong and social, and supported pets through every stage of life. What started as helping family, friends, and neighbors has grown into a true calling. I have experience with pets of all ages, medical needs, and those requiring special attention—like blind or deaf animals who need extra patience and care. Whether it’s daily check-ins or last-minute sitting, I treat every pet like family—because that’s how I’d want mine treated too. I work from home and I make my own schedule. So, tons of time for walks, play-time, bathing, and cuddles. Missing your fur baby? No worries! As a fur mom, I know how reassuring it can be to get updates, with pictures and videos, while being away from your babies. I have 2 pups and tons of toys that will keep your pups entertained, and space they can retreat to if they feel overstimulated. I live close to trails for enjoyable walks, for the pups that are properly safeguarded with prevention and vaccines for a walk through the woods. I have plenty of kitty toys and scratchers for my kitty friends, so they can have fun and keep their nails in tip top shape. My fur babies have a calm and safe environment, and we’d love to share that with your fur baby.

Our home is family- friendly, active, and full of love- but I do have a cozy, temperature controlled, sunroom with a door that can shut if they need a space of their own to relax. Your dog will have a safe fenced yard to explore and play in, plus lots of supervision and companionship. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll treat your dog like part of our family while they’re here. Whether your pup loves to play, snuggle, or just relax, we’re happy to welcome them into our home!

About: I have such a love for animals. I speak to them at all times, even when they’re passing by with their humans and I just tell the animal to have a great day. They make me so very happy, and I love to make them happy. I have 2 cats of my own and 5 niece and nephew dogs I have cared for and spoiled rotten for many years. I don’t get tired of playing, feeding, singing, or walking animals. I have just left a very emotionally draining job, caring for elderly humans and ensuring their happiness is always met. Now I’m ready to start fresh and have free time to care for your (furry) loved ones and ensure they are happy and healthy. I am comfortable caring for pets however they (and you) are comfortable with our visits. Their wants and needs is what’s important to me, and I will do my best to do what is needed.

About: Hello! My name is Mattie! I'm a 20 year old vet assistant and college student. I have been employed full time in the veterinary field as an assistant for almost 4 years and have truly found my passion for caring for our furry, scaled, feathered, and hairless friends. I'm trained in all kinds of care and truly love what I do. Pets comfort and happiness mean the world to me and being able to care for them has beena. dream come true. If you are looking for someone who will provide your pet with fun and safety while bringin you comfort while you are away you've come to the right person! Currently I am working full time in the veterinary clinic and due to emergencies and surgical schedules my schedule can be a little weird. For this reason I am not always available on the same days. But I keep my calendar updated so if I am marked open feel free to book! If ever there is a scheduling conflict I will reach out with ample time so you can find another sitter! I believe in fear free care for animals and let them tell me what they’re comfortable with me doing. I personally own two dogs that are behavioral cases. One being very high energy with severe anxiety and the other an aggressive dog with unpredictable tendencies around strangers. Because of this and other animals in clinic I have become very aware how to read canine and feline body language and know when they are telling me "no!" I believe if an animal does not want to do something they never should have to unless it is for their own good. Your pets will never be put into dangerous situations!
About: Furry, scaled, or feathered. Big or small. I love them all! I've owned horses, cats, dogs, hampsters, rabbits, fish, and gerbils, so I have first hand experience caring for these animals. I've been pet sitting on and off since I was a kid. I have experience pet sitting for cats, dogs, horses, chickens, snakes, and rats. I've also cared for elderly cats/dogs, disabled pets, blind pets, deaf pets, incontinent pets, puppies, multi-pet households, big dogs and small dogs. I do freelance Graphic Design as my primary job. I get to set my own schedule, so I'm ready for play and cuddles at any time! I don't have any special education for pet training, but I am happy to work with your pets on any training you want to work on. I always use a leash unless you have a fenced yard (regardless of your pets previous training/habits). I will remain with your pets at all times while they are outside, or while they are out of their crate and roaming the house. I also will send daily photos of your pets as a check in (I can also send multiple photos through out the day as well if you like).
About: I have taken care of dogs of many kinds. I have grown up with animals varying in many sizes. I love being around and caring for animals! I’m currently a college student in fairmont. I’m majoring in a RN program. I am looking for a simple job to be able to have some small cash in my pocket, and still have time for my studies. I have two dogs of my own in my hometown. They love daily walks and cuddles. Which I provide them with. Being away in college makes me miss time spent with them.
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for the past 8 years, and I’m also a cat owner myself. I really enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time but have gaps in my day where I can check on your fur babies and make sure they are thriving in their home. I can pick up on behavior quickly and would love to take care of them in an environment they know and already love. I would love to meet them ahead of time to establish trust.
About: I believe in quality and safety of care. With experience working in the shelter and as a dog trainer I ensure your pets are well taken care of while you are away. I strive to stay to up to do on advancements in the pet industry to be able to provide the best experience for you and your pet. I do not provide pet care in my home. I will follow all safety protocols taken in your home. Safety is absolutely a top priority. With years of professional experience your pet will be safe under my care.
About: I work really well with animals ! I have open availability to help you out! Just let me know and I’ll see what I can do! Thank you! I have open availability to help you with pet sitting. Just let me know and I’d be happy to help you out! Thank you very much! I can pet sit anytime. I can help with feeding, and anything of the sort! Just let me know if you need me! Thank you!
About: I have had love for all animals from a very young age! Cats, dogs & even reptiles. I have a dog, 3 cats, crested gecko & a leopard gecko! Currently I am studying online to be a canine enrichment technician and working part time at a boarding facility! My daily routine consists of walking, feeding, playing, enrichment, giving meds & snuggles!! I am available Monday-Friday 6-2 and Saturday & Sunday is to be decided, as I do work part time through the week & need days to rest! I am all for the safety of dogs! when going on walks slip leashes are used instead of a collar & leash so they won’t slip out! Distance is kept from people and dogs as nothing can ever be predicted! I believe cleanliness is a must for the pet itself, bowls & toys! A consistent routine is necessary along with enrichment/playtime!

“I have found my new home away from home for my two boys! Tiffany’s place is wonderful , and my boys had an excellent time! She takes great care of her dogs and their people! I highly recommend her and her business! My pups returned BERY happy and the pictures of them are fabulous!”
“Jennifer was amazing! Our pup had a great weekend in Jennifer’s home and playing in her fenced-in yard. Jennifer even sent us photos throughout the day of what our pup was up to. Will definitely be back!”
“Our dog Hazel had a blast staying with Megan. She was flexible with our drop off time and made our pup a priority. So glad we found someone we can depend on to take care of our best friend.”
“She was able to watch my dog on very short notice and willing to give meds not noted on my profile as they were only temporary. She sent lots of photos, was very responsive, and it looked like she treated my dog like her own. 10/10 would have her watch my pup again - thanks, Sophia!”
“Tiffany was amazing taking care of my Tinkerbell. She was super responsive and provided frequent, daily updates. I never went without photos of Tinkerbell the whole week she stayed with Tiffany, which I appreciated very much. Tinkerbell clearly became comfortable very quickly in the new environment. I would highly recommend Tiffany with her caring, compassionate demeanor.”
“Megan was an incredible. Provided daily updates, pictures and took care of my anxious pup. This was the first time Jack has spent a full week from me, and I am thankful to have found Megan!”
“Nikki was great! She sent us pics several times a day and our dog seemed to be having a great time which allowed us to relax and enjoy our family get-together. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely use her again.”
“Lauren & Taylor did a wonderful job caring for my dog. They sent pictures and updates each day, took her for walks and she was a happy pup when we went to pick her up!!! Really appreciated them!!”
“Solar and his roommate Calvin are incredible. They took the best care of my senior dog who has a lot of special medical needs. I felt so comfortable with both of them watching him!”
“This was our first time boarding with Amber and we couldn't have been happier. She was extremely accommodating with our timeline and provided pictures & feedback throughout our girls visit... this put our minds at ease allowing us to focus on a family matter. Our girl came home happy & tired!!!”
“Tracey was extremely accommodating throughout the entire booking process. She answered any and every question we had before booking. She was very accommodating when it came to drop off and pick up times. During our 2 dogs stay she kept us updated through the day with how they were doing along with plenty of pictures to put us at ease that they were very well taken care of. She truly treated them as her own. Our young lab and pit mix pup are full of energy and can be a handful and that didn’t bother her. I’d feel completely safe leaving them with her again and if we’re ever in the area again we’ll definitely be booking thru her!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages and sizes since I was young and none have given me any trouble. I don’t mind picking up messes that any dog might make. I absolutely love playing with them and taking them on walks. I doordash as my job so my availability is 100% open to any kind of needs your dog has. I pick what hours I work with door dash but normally I’ll door dash throughout the day then come home for the day around 5. Although when watching any animal I tend to switch up my hours so I can make sure your pup is getting all the love and attention it needs. I like to keep a clean house so no dog has a chance to get into anything that could harm them or chew on anything not wanted.
About: Hi Loving Furparents, My lifelong passion is interspecies communication, animal care & behavior, ecology, and environmental conservation. I have grown up communicating, training/learning, caretaking, and translating for animals my entire life, and I continue to follow my passion for animal care, rehabilitation, conservation, and helping others learn to listen and communicate with animals. I have recently lost my soul dog and partner of nearly 16 years to osteosarcoma. I have experience learning life lessons our senior friends teach us; to slow down, smell the wildflowers, enjoy the little things in life, lead with empathy, lend a helping hand to one another, and be grateful for the moment we have together. I have experience with caretaking during mobility issues for both animals, using help-em-up harnesses and wheelchairs. Additionally, I have awareness and understanding of training needs when the human is afflicted with chronic illness and mobility impairments, such as helping the animal to learn and be mindful of unsteadiness, fall prevention, etc. My current SDiT and I are working on counterbalance, DPT, crowd guarding, behavior interruptions, and some preliminary scent work. Additional Background of Experience; I grew up in the area with a variety of species throughout the years, from cats & dogs to horses, rodents, fish, chickens & guinea fowl to turtles, etc. This experience came with interspecies management, learning to hand-rear animals, helping animals learn core life skills, assess and rehab injury, hospice care, etc. Later, I completed a multidisciplinary degree from WVU with concentrations in Wildlife Management and Conservation Ecology. At WVU, I completed curriculum including a Service Dog Training course where the dog I worked with (Gretel) graduated the following year to become a certified therapy dog at Chestnut Ridge. Additional courses included Animal Behavior, Equine Hoof and Limb, Equine Assisted Therapy, and Exotic Animal Medicine, among others. Since graduating, I have compiled formal experience working with both domestic animals, wildlife and protection of their habitat. I had the privilege to work abroad in Botswana, Africa at game reserves where we were able to rehabilitate animals, provide game drives, supplemental feeding etc., and interned at Mokolodi Nature Reserve in Botswana, Africa, caring for animals in rehabilitation. I currently work full-time, which unfortunately limits my availability to primarily evenings and weekends at this time. Well-behaved, socialized dogs may be able to join during office work days. I am considering transitioning to full-time animal training, should it be feasible, which may allow for additional availability in the future. Additionally, I am navigating chronic illness after long covid through schedule modification and mindful movement during caretaking. Thank you for your understanding schedule limitations during this transition. Please communicate with me your dogs needs i.e.; whether your pet has separation anxiety, medical needs or food allergies, usual routines that make them feel safe, enrichment or husbandry that helps positively stimulate them mentally and emotionally, triggers to be mindful of/avoid, whether they have off leash recall or there are chase drive trigger concerns and they must stay leashed at all times, and anything else you feel is relevant so we may collaborate on their care plan to provide them the best support. I do have a large crate available for dogs that are most comfortable with crate training when it is necessary to leave them at home. Our geriatric cat Fluffy lives in the home with us (please alert me to dogs that have not been socialized with cats), there is a rescue parrot in the household, and I have a ~55 lb rescue and SDIT who is very friendly and loves having someone to play and run around in the yard with. She was a family member to my geriatric dog with mobility concerns before his passing, and she has experience with older dogs and cats.
“I am so happy to have found Alexis to look after my dog for one week. Having daily updates with pictures definitely eased my minds that my dog was adapting well in our absence. I would definitely recommend Alexis.”
“Allie was great with 7 year old Shih Tzu. She sent pics and updates and even let her snuggle in her blanket which was so sweet. I would definitely use Allie again. Thanks Allie for letting us enjoy our visit with our son knowing our little fur baby was being well cared for.”
About: I have less experience with dogs. Only ones I’ve had as pets. I would be great for walks. I am reliable and timely with requests. I have a full time job, but looking for evening walks or weekend care. I am familiar with medications, shots, and feeding tubes. I enjoy walking and would gladly take your dog to the park for a stroll. At home, we have few rules for my cats. We have pet friendly furniture and toys. Dogs that get along with cats would be fine!
“Kaity was wonderful with my one year old golden retriever Monroe. Took her in last minute and had never sit her before. Would definitely recommend her. Very responsive and sent pics throughout the stay. I was beginning to wonder if my girl would even want to come back home 😆”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. From taking care of my own pets to helping others out with their pets, I love providing the pet care an owner needs help with and a pet needs. Growing up, I lived across the street from my great aunt who bred and showed Great Danes. From a young age I remember sitting and watching out the front window for my aunt to come home so I could call her and ask if I could come help her with her Danes. When I was 10 years old, I started my own dog walking/pet sitting business and I have helped numerous families out with their pets while they were out on vacation or just needed help getting their pets outside for some exercise. After college, I worked at a local pet store and have gotten a lot of experience with dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and birds. I also have helped care for horses over the years. I love hanging out with animals and spoiling them like I do with my own pets. I am comfortable taking care of multiple pets and fur babies of all sizes. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for full time or part time work. I am currently a stay at home mom, so my availability is fairly free, but it varies from week to week. I am pretty flexible and willing to work with your schedule. I let my pets out multiple times a day and take them on walks. I love to take my pets out on hikes as well.
