“Josie and her husband were great with my 3 cats, I felt good leaving them in their care! I am a bit picky and they were great at responding and accommodating! Thank you!”
“Madalyn did a great job watching my 2 cats at my house for 5 days. I loved the photo updates showing my shy guy gradually coming out of his shell for her, and she kept my mischievous chewer girl from destroying anything while I was away. And I came back to a house just as clean as I left it, which is always a nice bonus too. The next time I need to be out of town I'll definitely be reaching out to Madalyn first!”
“I believe Britney deserves five stars because she's always on time and very reliable. She always takes pictures of your pets and tells you everything that happened on her drop in visit. She really builds a bond with your pets as they will be waiting by the door for her to come in and give them attention.”
About: Teacher by day, pet whisperer always. Your pets second favorite human (after you of course.) Flexible, loving and experienced pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Professionally walked dogs for a year- but I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family forever. Long walks, belly rubs and personalized care are always part of the package. I treat your pets like family, because that is what they deserve. ' I'm a full-time teacher with a flexible schedule and a soft spot for furry companions. I have a set schedule with afternoons, evenings, and weekends and holidays off- which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! During the summer and school breaks, I am even more available for visits. I make sure your pets get the attention, care, and love they need while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat it with the same respect and care as I would my own. I stick to the pet's regular routines, mealtimes, walks, play and any other special instructions. I want them to feel comfortable and safe while you are away. I make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I'm happy to send photo or video updates so you can see how they are doing. I clean up after myself, keep things tidy, and make sure your pets (and your home!) is well cared for until you return.
“This was the first time having a sitter for my 4 cats. I was nervous but Ciara was excellent. I feel more at ease now knowing the level of care she gave them. I will definitely use her next time I go out of town.”
About: I have cared for several cats and dogs in my home as well as in others for 15 years. I am a mother of three with lots of love, attention & cuddles to share with your fur-babies! I currently work from home 3 days each week and as a mom of 3, am home most weekends to help take care of your fur-babies:) I live in a very safe neighborhood for long walks and have a large backyard (unfenced) to play in! All 3 of my kiddos (16,14 & 6) are true animal lovers who will also happily love on your fur-babies while visiting our home!
About: I have experience with both cats and dogs as I have both. I had a wonderful dog named Tessa. I miss her so much. She was a rescue and an amazing dog. Albany is a manx cat and was adopted at the age of 3. She is 6 now. She loved to play and can be ornery! I love fur babies and would love to help take care of your fur babies. I hope with providing this service I can give you piece of mind that your cat or dog is being taken care of. With adopting a rescue, I also had to work with some behavioral issues my dog had and feel that gave me a better understanding of her needs. I hope to speak with you soon!
About: I have a very flexible schedule. I love all animals small and big! I have cats but they are super friendly. I have an unfenced yard, and I have several dog friendly places. I have a vehicle for plenty of fun car rides. I have 2 doggos. Mojo Madness and Roger Dodger. My flexible schedule allows for pretty much anything that you need for your furry friend. I do have a gate to keep dogs and my cats separate if they are prone to chasing. I'm a very active person so being out and about outside is something that I love to do, especially with a furry friend of any size. I have a very very flexible schedule. My full time is mostly remote, and it is not something that requires the typical 9-5. If you have more questions please feel free to reach out. Trust is super important when you are trusting someone with your bestie. I pride myself with communication. If you have any question at all or if you need certain assurances that you pet is safe with me I would be happy to oblige.
About: I am looking to provide love and care to your fur babies when you aren’t able to. I have two fur babies of my own currently and have had many in the past. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all different shapes and sizes! I look forward to meeting your fur babies and caring for them like my own. I work as a bus driver so between my morning and evening run I have plenty of time to make stop ins and check on pet and/or take them for a walk. My partner works from home which provides a flexible schedule. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to care for your pets in my home due to our young children. However, your pets safety and comfort will be a top priority for me when coming into your home to care for them.
About: I’ve taken care of my household dogs for 18 years. Sadly due to my father’s allergies I haven’t been able to have a cat. But have been around them in any chance I can get and have experience caring for them. I’m working part time but would love to make room for taking care of your pets. I also volunteer at St Mary’s but will do my best to fit your animal into my schedule. I can’t care for pets in my own home due to my family not wanting to be around pets at the moment. But I would love to branch out to other homes to care for your pets.
“Shelley was amazing with my dog who can sometimes be very skittish around new people. She has scared sitters in the past due to her barking but Shelley handled her like a champ. My dog took to Shelley right away and I appreciated knowing that she was in good hands during the day. Shelley sent many pictures and provided me with updates while she was at my house ensuring my dog got to potty, they played ball and she made sure she had food and water before she left each day. I would highly recommend Shelley and will definitely use her in the future.”

Barboursville cat parents share their Rover experiences
This was Madalyn's second time watching my kitties and I still love her. And so do Waffles and Flapjack! I appreciated the photos she'd send me daily of them eating and especially of them playing. She got my shy guy out of hiding and playing in just 4 short days! Magic!!!!
Makensie was wonderful with my three cats and kept them all safe and happy while I was away. She had a lovely connection with my Toby, which was a great bonus for my shy little guy. She was great about letting me know how each visit went and I was able to enjoy the trip, knowing the "kids" were well looked after. A+ pet-sitter!
