“Colleen did an amazing job with my whole crew of pets. I had to book last minute as my dog sitter quit mid job and wasn't taking care of them properly. She was attentive to detail, played with them, and was very respectful and pleasant to communicate. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future!”


“Arianna was a great house/dog/cat sitter for us! She sent lots of pictures of our pets and it was reassuring to know that things were going well while we were gone. I definitely recommend her!”

“Allysa was wonderful! She spent a weekend taking care of my dog and two cats and sent pictures of all 3 at least twice a day with very detailed updates. Two of them were on medication and she had no problems getting them to take their pills. I will definitely be booking with Allysa next time I need someone to watch my pets.”


“Alec was amazing! He was great at communicating and sending pictures of our two dogs. He made sure they were fed, taken out routinely and loved on. He also left our house cleaner than we left it! I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


“My pups absolutely love Skye! She has watched them several times now and is always fantastic! She sends updates and pictures throughout the day. She’s great at communicating and loving on our dogs. Highly recommend!”


“I connected with Cara for a house pet sitting request for over a holiday weekend / work week. Cara was quickly to respond. She was enthusiastic to meet my 2 spoiled and special needs kittens. Her stay at my home went very smooth. She was responsible, respectful, clean and absolutely loved on my boys. I received frequent updates with photos. Once I returned, my boys were very affectionate and calm, tummies full and very well taken care of. Cara has a loyal following now in my household. We absolutely will be repeat customers again.”


“Alexis was friendly and helpful with my dog and with my pet chickens. Thorough and thoughtful and authentic. Great sitter that actually spends time with your pup!”


“Scotti was incredible with our dogs. We booked her for a overnight stay and she kept our two big dogs calm and happy, we came home and they were so well behaved and happy. We will be booking with Scotti any chance I can!”


About: I have been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. Currently, I have three dogs, a cat, and a turtle, so I understand the daily care and attention pets need. I am highly experienced in feeding, walking, administering medications, taking pets to vet appointments, and, of course, making sure they get plenty of playtime and affection. I believe that pets are family and deserve the best love and care possible. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I will treat your pets as if they were my own! I am a full-time college student balancing my studies with my passion for caregiving. I am almost always available as I like to do this as a full time job! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they receive the best love and attention. I provide regular feeding, ensuring they stick to their normal diet and schedule. Walks are an essential part of their routine, giving them the exercise and fresh air they need. I also love engaging in playtime to keep them happy and stimulated. In addition, I can take pets to their vet and groomer appointments to ensure they stay healthy and well-maintained. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care!

About: We got into pet care together because helping animals has always been a shared passion; it’s something that brought us closer and now it’s something we get to do side by side while helping our community 🥹 We currently foster for the Kanawha Charleston Shelter and another local rescue, help with TNR in our area, rehome strays, and love to spoil our own little crew of rescues! Over the years, we’ve cared for dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, reptiles, rabbits, rats, and even birds! We’re especially comfortable with pets who need a little extra patience, like shy rescues, semi-ferals, and senior animals! 🐕🦺 We have hands-on experience with: • Medications (oral, topical, injectable like insulin) • Anxious or reactive behavior • Special diets and tricky routines • Post-op and long-term medical needs • Livestock Friends! We're also active in the rescue world currently supporting fundraising, marketing, and networking for Krazie Ladies Animal Rescue, and jumping in when people in our community need help with lost pets or urgent rehoming! This isn’t just a side gig for us... it’s something we truly love doing together and would be happy to help you and your pets have a stress-free time! We both work from home, so our days naturally revolve around the animals we care for; ours and yours! That means we’re super flexible with visits throughout the day, whether it’s a quick morning potty break, midday meds, or evening playtime. Caring for animals is already part of our daily life. We foster and volunteer locally, so working around feeding schedules, quirky behaviors, and special routines is second nature. You can count on us to show up on time and treat your pets like they’re part of the family! Weekend availability included... just reach out and let’s chat about what you need! 📅 We kindly ask for 3 days' notice for all bookings and cancellations so we can plan our calendar and make sure we’re giving every pet the time and care they deserve 💛 When we’re in your home, we treat it with the same care and respect we’d want for our own! We always follow your instructions to the T; whether that’s feed times, locked doors or quirky pet routine... We will always keep your space clean, calm, and secure before we leave! We’re happy to work with homes that use security systems or indoor cameras, and we’ll always communicate clearly about access (keys, codes, etc.) so everyone feels comfortable! After each visit, you’ll get a photo or two and a quick update so you’re never left wondering how things went!! If your pets have any medical needs, special diets, triggers, or unique behaviors, we’ll ask about those ahead of time so we can handle everything confidently! We’ve worked with nervous pets, escape artists, and even semi-ferals... so nothing surprises us! We know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and into your pet’s routine, and we don’t take that lightly! ❤️

“Olivia was absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond what I expected. Cooper loves her. She sent pics and videos which we loved looking at. The house was left in great shape. We will definitely be calling on her again. I highly recommend Olivia. She is a pet lover and is very experienced!!!!”


“Devin and Alexis did a great job caring for our pets! Devin came prior to the visit to get acquainted with the animals before house sitting for us. Definitely recommend!”

Matthew T.
“In everything Matthew does, he loves with his whole heart. This is no different with the way he loves animals. He has been around animals his whole life and he made it a personal goal to adopt when he knew he was ready to become a pet 'parent'. His love and energy for his cat Winnie and his dog Max is contagious and so sweet. Anyone in the room with Matthew and his animals can tell his love and can't help but have a smile on their face watching their interactions.”

Alum Creek pet parents share their Rover experiences
Olivia was so accommodating to our pup’s needs. We have 3 of them so it can be a lot for any one person to take on. However, Olivia was sweet and kind to them and sent us regular updates. We plan to call on her again for any dog-sitting needs as I’m sure our pups will be more than happy to see her again too.
