“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.”
“Melanie and Eric were so loving and caring with our anxious and reactive boy Walter! It was Walter’s first time away and I knew he was in good hands. They sent updates and were very responsive to messages. Couldn’t be happier!”
“My boy’s third time staying with Megan and Alex! They communicate very well and provide plenty of updates. I fully trust them and feel at ease leaving them to care for my dog while away!”
“Tessa was quick to respond and took our dog on short notice. She kept in touch and sent pictures during his stay. This was our first time using the app and this sitter. Great experience!”
“Jennifer is wonderful! I'm pretty sure my puppy didn't want to leave after his two night stay in her home. He had a blast playing with her dogs and crashed as soon as he got home. If you're anything like me and are a little hesitant about leaving your dog with a stranger, your worries should end here! Your pet will be in the absolute best hands!”
“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!!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’ve spent years sitting and walking dogs for friends and family, so I definitely know every dog has their own personality and am happy to cater to them and take whatever time is needed to make them the most comfortable! Growing up there were always 3+ dogs in the house including puppies, seniors, and dogs with disabilities, so I’m equipped to handle all stages of life and different needs! I am patient, understanding, experienced, and ready to give your dog the most loving care! As a student with a part-time job my schedule is pretty flexible! For dogs, that means consistent walks, potty break, and feedings that match their normal schedule. For cats, regular feeding times, litter maintenance, and plenty of attention if they prefer it! Since my shifts change week to week, I will always confirm availability ahead of time and communicate about timing! Your pets safety is my top priority, in your home or mine! I live in an apartment, so I’m mindful about creating a secure, calm place, free of hazardous foods or items. I treat every pet in my care with the same level of attention I’d want for my own, so you can feel confident your dog or cat is in a safe and comfortable environment.
About: "My home used to be filled with cats and a whole pack of little dogs. Over the years things have changed, and right now my sole companion is a wonderful senior tabby cat named Batman." I'm currently not working, I just stay home, take care of the house and my senior tabby, Batman. I have nothing except time to help care for your fur babies. I live at the end of the road in a very quiet neighborhood with a big yard. Plenty of space inside and outside of the home.
“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!!!”
“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: As a veterinary assistant for over 3 years and a pre-vet student, I’ve been passionate about animals since I was very little and began pet sitting over 10 years ago. I have experience with many different animals in clinical settings, home, farm and zoo settings. Most of my work experience has been in emergency medicine. I have also enjoyed rescuing and fostering dogs, cats, and exotics. One of my college courses was on dog training, and I have trained my own dogs, birds, and rodents. I’ve also studied exotic/zoo medicine and conservation abroad in South Africa for 4 weeks! I work 6am-5pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and will only have one class M/W/F at 11am once school starts August 19th. I may work some shifts on those days after class. I spend as much time as I can with the pets I care for and make sure to give them love, attention, and exercise just like I would my own animals. They will get lots of belly rubs and cuddles! Depending on how they tolerate it, I can do nail trims and baths if requested. I have baby nail trimmers I can use for the little guys (kittens, birds, other small exotics).
“My girls loved being with McKayla and Christian. They sent multiple updates per day and sent them how with a couple fun extra items. I really feel like they took care of my babies.”
“The BEST sitter! Our dog loves to go to Tiffany’s. We always know that he is being taken care of like he is their own. She even took him to the vet for us one time when he had a nasty ear infection and we were out of town. We highly recommend her. She really is a fantastic sitter.”
“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.”

“Tracey was so kind to help out with my stray kitty boy over the holidays!! She kept me updated with pictures and videos which really eased my mind. My boy seemed so content with her right away that I knew I had nothing to worry about. Tracey definitely has a connection with animals and seems to be an animal whisperer… I would highly recommend her!”
About: My big sister was a Dalmatian my mom had before I was even born. My first cat was at age 3. Since birth I have been around and cared for many different types of animals. They range from the dogs and cats in my family, my grandparents horses, to the various small, furry, AND scaly critters I've kept over the years. Currently have a dog, cats, fish/shrimp, a frog, a snake, and geckos! Let my love and encyclopedia of animal knowledge be used to your advantage!
About: I grew up with 3 cats in the house and currently have two of my own, so I know cats inside and out. Their independence, their quirks, and the ways they communicate. I've raised cats from tiny kittens all the way to adulthood, so I'm comfortable with every stage of a cat's life, from playful kitten energy to calmer adult routines. I've also cared for a cat with an FELV, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle care needed. Whether your cat needs playtime, or a quiet companion, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 11 years old. I have bathed, fed, walked, and played with dogs and cats alike. I love it a lot and animals just bring me joy. I currently work part time at another job so I’ll have time to help take care of your pets throughout the week and keep them company. I am able to move around a bunch to play with your pet! I can also cuddle and relax with them if that’s more their speed. I understand every pet is different and I can work with them however they need! I’ll also make sure to stay communicative, letting you know what’s going on and sending pictures of your fur baby’s.
About: My family has always had cats, we currently have 5. We’ve had kittens to seniors, rescues, sick cats, hyper cats that need extra playing time, cats that would prefer to be left alone, and cats that just need some extra love.
“They were great to work with! They accepted my request very quickly, took note of everything my cats needed, and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely work with them again. :)”
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.
About: I've owned cats my whole life and currently have two at home. Professionally, I've done multiple sittings through jobs and taken care of friend's pets. I'm comfortable administering medications and helping with cleaning/grooming.

“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!!!”
“Jess was so good with Harper and I like the way she let Harper interact with her family. This is the first time I ever left my dog with the sitter. When I saw how easily Harper went to Jess, I felt very relieved. Her prices were extremely reasonable. I will definitely use her again.”

Our home is tidy and nothing is left on the floors or within reach that could harm an animal. Our house is not located near any high traffic roads. Our back yard is positioned against an open field.

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.
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.

Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I stay organized and flexible so I can give consistent and loving care, even on busy days. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and exercise, and always have clean water. I also take time to bond with them so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. If I’m doing drop-ins or overnight stays, I also keep the space tidy and send updates with pictures to keep pet parents in the loop. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe environment where they can relax and have fun. I stick to their feeding and potty schedules, offer plenty of attention, and make sure they’re never left alone for too long.

I can offer daytime drop-in care and/or overnight stays. I also have my own reliable form of transportation, so distance/location is not an issue.
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 have raised dogs all my life. A few years back I used to rescue and board temporarily until the dogs were nursed back to health. Once the dogs were adoptable we would set up meet and greets to adopt out. I am experienced with many breeds. I used to have a terrier who was diagnosed with diabetes. We had to do injections twice a day and put her on a feeding schedule. I have experience with several breeds starting small to huge! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have a wide open schedule at the moment and I'm just looking for busy work until school starts. My dogs are let out routinely. They are fed on a strict schedule twice a day. They are brushed and played with to help exercise them especially the bigger breeds due to their hips.
About: I regularly walk many dogs (M-F), and have done lots of overnight stays with different furry friends as well! Additionally, I have taken care of animals the families I’ve babysat for for over the last ten years. Last summer, I lived with a family who had a dog and spent a lot of time house sitting and dog sitting in addition to the babysitting I was doing. I fed the dog most days and took him outside to play. I am a runner so if your dogs would benefit from going on runs with me, I’m happy to take them as long as there’s a safe area nearby your home (I am comfortable bringing dogs in my car if needed). If your dog is not a runner, no worries! I’m happy to take them on walks or let them play in your yard. My work schedule is different week to week, but I am available for overnight pet/house sitting any time. I work out a lot and love running so I am happy to take dogs with me on walks or runs. I can’t host pets at my apartment complex, but it is my priority to take great care of not only your pets but also your home and living space. If your animal likes attention, I will make sure to give it to them, and if they are active I will take them out if there is a safe space to do so. I will keep them on the usual schedule that you keep for them to make sure they don’t get anxious or fall out of your typical routine. I will always leave the space cleaner than I found it to relieve any stress that could come with returning home.
“Kayden did amazing with my pup and is very experienced! Will definitely be booking again. My dog is hyper and not the best listener. Kayden came prepared with treats and helped work on his listening skills. It’s nice to have found someone who is trustworthy and shows love and affection to your dog as much as you do!”
About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for 5 years. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician, CPR certified, and I own my own mobile grooming/pet sitting business “Kiana’s Kritters” I am available weekdays and weekends. I would love to be able to help you out with your fur baby or fur babies! Let me know how I can help! I am unable to bring other peoples animals into my home due to my own dogs. I am available to come to peoples homes to care for them from the comfort of their own place.
About: I have been an avid animal-lover and caretaker since the age of 10. I spent my youth volunteering for animal shelters, fostering dogs, and taking my own pups to obedience and agility classes. I have worked on farms with livestock and assisted my sister with her dog-grooming clients. I have cared for a number of senior dogs and cats and have administered various medications. I am eager to work with pets of any age, though, and I have experience caring for fish, rodents, cats, dogs, horses, cows, chickens, and other birds. I am currently self-employed and working part-time. My schedule is very much open and flexible, so I am able ensure your pet takes first priority! I am quite aware every animal requires different levels of care and attention. I provide serious attention to detail when it comes to all of your pets' various needs and habits. I welcome thorough instructions based on owner preferences and will see to it that your fur-babies are cared for respectively.

“Melanie and Eric were so loving and caring with our anxious and reactive boy Walter! It was Walter’s first time away and I knew he was in good hands. They sent updates and were very responsive to messages. Couldn’t be happier!”
“My boy’s third time staying with Megan and Alex! They communicate very well and provide plenty of updates. I fully trust them and feel at ease leaving them to care for my dog while away!”
“Tessa was quick to respond and took our dog on short notice. She kept in touch and sent pictures during his stay. This was our first time using the app and this sitter. Great experience!”
“Jennifer is wonderful! I'm pretty sure my puppy didn't want to leave after his two night stay in her home. He had a blast playing with her dogs and crashed as soon as he got home. If you're anything like me and are a little hesitant about leaving your dog with a stranger, your worries should end here! Your pet will be in the absolute best hands!”
“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!!”
About: "My home used to be filled with cats and a whole pack of little dogs. Over the years things have changed, and right now my sole companion is a wonderful senior tabby cat named Batman." I'm currently not working, I just stay home, take care of the house and my senior tabby, Batman. I have nothing except time to help care for your fur babies. I live at the end of the road in a very quiet neighborhood with a big yard. Plenty of space inside and outside of the home.
“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!!!”
“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: As a veterinary assistant for over 3 years and a pre-vet student, I’ve been passionate about animals since I was very little and began pet sitting over 10 years ago. I have experience with many different animals in clinical settings, home, farm and zoo settings. Most of my work experience has been in emergency medicine. I have also enjoyed rescuing and fostering dogs, cats, and exotics. One of my college courses was on dog training, and I have trained my own dogs, birds, and rodents. I’ve also studied exotic/zoo medicine and conservation abroad in South Africa for 4 weeks! I work 6am-5pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and will only have one class M/W/F at 11am once school starts August 19th. I may work some shifts on those days after class. I spend as much time as I can with the pets I care for and make sure to give them love, attention, and exercise just like I would my own animals. They will get lots of belly rubs and cuddles! Depending on how they tolerate it, I can do nail trims and baths if requested. I have baby nail trimmers I can use for the little guys (kittens, birds, other small exotics).
“The BEST sitter! Our dog loves to go to Tiffany’s. We always know that he is being taken care of like he is their own. She even took him to the vet for us one time when he had a nasty ear infection and we were out of town. We highly recommend her. She really is a fantastic sitter.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have extensive experience with animals of all ages. I have four animals of my own, two dogs and two cats, two younger and two seniors. All of which I have trained since young. I love animals and enjoy taking care of them. I am flexible throughout the week/on the weekend, and will be on my first year of college at WVU. I am looking for this to be my main source of income, so I am willing to dedicate as much time and effort as necessary. I am only available to care for clients’ pets in their own homes. I can offer daytime drop-in care and/or overnight stays. I also have my own reliable form of transportation, so distance/location is not an issue.
