Personalized care for your dog or cat - Vance

“Michelle was so incredibly wonderful, I honestly feel like I have hit the jackpot with finding her and her husband. My Griff was so happy he didn't even realize I was done. Hands down best experience I have had thus far! Will be a repeat customer!”

Shannon M.

“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”

“Faith was fast to respond, sent us pictures of our fur baby all weekend, and we could tell Phil was having a blast. On the way home from our trip we hit traffic and ended up being 40 minutes late for pick up, Faith was very understanding. Very satisfied and so was Phil! Thank you!!!”

“Beth has quickly become my go-to sitter over the last year or 2. Molly loves to visit, she start yipping and gets excited as soon as we pull into her neighborhood. I always get timely updates and lots of pictures of a happy dog, who is then tired out once we get home because she had so much fun. Thanks again Beth, Buddy, Ruby, and Bug.”

“We are extremely pleased with the care Hailey provided for my dog, Milo. She was attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Milo seemed happy and well-looked after when I picked him up. Hailey kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. The place was clean, and Milo had plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend Hailey for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

About: I've had pets all my life cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, Bunnies, and taken car of horses. I love animals and am not afraid of their messes. During the summer I have plenty of time to take care of pets though during the school year certain times of day I won't be available due to classes. I've learned to come at pets with the caution they need. I'm very friendly and always want to be sweet to pets but I can be tough if the situation calls for it to not let animals walk all over me. I love animals and like taking the time for their needs.

About: I’ve always grown up around animals and had countless pets throughout my life! I love love love big dogs, but also every other critter I meet! I’ve dealt with puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and picky pets. I’m not scared of messes or hold grudges against pets that aren’t the biggest fans of other people. My goal is just to make sure your pet is comfortable! I’m currently a full-time college student working a few hours each week at the college, so I’m busy most mornings but never for more than a couple hours at a time. I’m usually very free on weekends and can make myself more available during the week if need be. My biggest concern is how comfortable your pet is! So, I’m all for doing whatever they want to do! If your pet loves going on walks, car rides, and outside adventures I’d be more than happy to do so. On the other hand, I’ve dealt with some reactive and picky pets in the past and we still figure out how to have a good time without crossing any boundaries your pet might have. Since I’m in school right now, I am not able to house a dog for sitting. I don’t mind pets with strict diets, exercise routines, medications, or anything of the sort and will make sure they get the care they need.

About: Grew up with all types of animals dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, I am more than capable of taking care of your animals as long as needed. I am very free, I am home all the time, you will not have to worry about your animal, they will receive plenty of love or plenty of solidarity if they want that. I am a very loving and understanding pet watcher your animal will be very safe in my home, I am a firm believer in cuddling and playing with animals so they will be entertained

About: I’ve been in the general field of caretaking for about 6 to 7 years. I was a full time nanny to a family of 7 children and 3 dogs for a few years before I married, and before that, I had multiple families for whom I watched their little ones, including the family dog/dogs. I also did some exclusive pet sitting apart from my previously mentioned work experience. I managed both kids and pets at once. I’ve gotten to know a variety of dog breeds. Growing up, we always had dogs. We’ve had a labradoodle, a few small mixed breeds, and a bernedoodle. Our bernedoodle, Rocco, I trained myself. He is the gentlest dog I’ve ever met and so smart. I taught fun tricks but also some useful ones like how to ring bells to indicate he needed to potty. I have loved being around dogs and having them in my life. We don’t currently have a dog since my two kids are young, so we can’t afford our own pup right now, although we certainly will get one in the future. That’s why I’m so excited to be able to provide other people’s dogs a warm and welcoming home away from home where they will be loved on and feel at ease. I’m a full time stay at home mom, so I’m almost always home. Apart from grocery shopping, minor errands, church on Sundays, or the rare trip to families, we are home all the time. Dogs that stay with us will have pretty much constant companionship and attention. We will be available for drop offs everyday except most of Sunday. Sunday evenings will be open though. Dogs that love a family environment will thrive here. We are usually up for the day around 7:00 am. My son loves dogs and will happily have a full conversation with them. He has grown up around many dogs because my mom has dogs and is a seasoned rover sitter herself. My husband works in the evenings so dogs will probably stay up and hang out with me as we unwind. We have a fenced in backyard so I can sit on our deck and let the dogs run, play, and potty easily and frequently. We live on a very quiet and friendly Cul-de-sac in the mountains of West Virginia, near Winchester. Dogs that come here will have a peaceful stay and have a lot of fun!

“My dogs stay was awesome. He had a great time.”

“First time using a sitter that wasn't family. My cats are generally very skittish. I figured she'd never see either one. Turns out she got them cat whispering skills and she handled them both. Highly recommend and will use again if she wants to.”

Sharice g.

“Very communicative and professional! Our cats were happy to have her”

Isabelle K.

“Great communication and service, highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around cats for many years and absolutely love their unique personalities! I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including shy, playful, independent, and affectionate cats. I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m patient and respectful of each cat’s comfort level and will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home.

“Michelle was terrific! She went out of her way to put our shy dog at ease and make him feel comfortable. She kept in touch with pictures! Highly recommend.”

“Lucy is fantastic and sooo patient. I was very late picking my guy up and she was so kind and forgiving. Book her with confidence!”

Erik K.

“Thank you, Faith! Maybellene had such a great time and I knew she was in great hands while I was visiting family in the area. She was very responsive and flexible, and her home is a welcoming place for your pup. Looking forward to next time!”
