About: I am trained in CPR for cats & dogs. I have been around animals my whole life, and have grown up with multiple veterinarians in the family. I am the kind of human who pulls off to the side of the road when they see a bag or box to make sure there isn’t an animal(s) inside. I have 2 cats of own! A three year old tortoiseshell named Whiskee Sour and a 2year old mixed breed white kitty named Sweet Purrlot (like Merlot). And no, I do not drink LOL. I had roommates with both cats & dogs when I lived in my college town and I pet sit for them frequently. I am happy to service families with any type of fur-baby. They are all loved by me! I just finished my 5th semester at WVU and have the entire summer off (until the beginning of September)! I only have 2 trips planned (one at the end of May and another at the end of July) thus far this summer. I am very flexible with my time. I am great at following any instructions and warnings you give me when going into your home- I prefer crystal clear instructions on what to do and how to handle your babies. I want to give them the best care possible!
About: I’ve been recommended to many by word of mouth, so I decided to bring my business to Rover as well! There’s nothing I love more than being able to provide comfort for your pets whenever you’re away. Me and your pets will go on walks, play dates, and anything else they enjoy! Be prepared for lots of photos of us enjoying our days together! I am working part time while in graduate school. Ideally, I am available for overnight stays, whether it be for the weekend or two weeks! I also have sitter backups for any extra care needed in which I’m not able to tend to. I’m currently in graduate school at Morehead State in Ky and will be commuting twice weekly until May. I haven’t dog sat in my own home before because I have 2 dogs and a pig of my own. Caring for your home and pets is what is most important to me! I will always be easy to reach, whether it be by phone, text, or FaceTime! I will also water your plants, pick up your mail, take out the trash, etc.
About: I have experience working in dog boarding, pet sitting and pet owning. Can clean, feed, provide exercise and a safe space to be in. I also have experience with giving medications as needed. I work during the week days but im available on the weekends, evenings, nights and early mornings. Depending on where you live i can even do let outs for mid-day potty breaks. I live in a small clean home making it easy to keep watch and protect your furry friend. I also live near a prefect and safe area for walks/runs. In others homes i will respect their space and maintain a clean environment while I love and care for their pets
About: I am an extremely active person who loves all kinds of dogs! Walks are fun, but so are games and practicing obedience commands and tricks! Dogs of all shapes and sizes are my favorite, no matter the age. I have experience with puppies, and older dogs; high active and docile dogs; as well as those who love their leashes and others who hate their crates. It is important to me that I understand your expectations of the dog when it comes to disobedience and commands so that they will behave for me just like they behave for you. I understand that your pup is an extension of yourself and that they are part of your family and I only want to help you care for them as best I can! I have a very flexible and fluid schedule so if there is just a one off where you have a long day at the office or you know your best friend needs a regular mid day walk I am able to work it in! I understand that your dog will have to get used to me and me used to them but I will maintain the level of discipline that you tell me you are comfortable with. This will ensure that we avoid ruining any leashes, collars, toys, etc. as well as maintaining your home in the fashion you wish!
“Alyssa was awesome! She took awesome care of my scaredy cat while I was out of town for a week, and sent me plenty of pictures and videos! Will definitely book her again next time I am out of town :)”
About: Growing up, my mother ran a doggy day care out of her home and I often assisted her. I have much experience in caring for animals and also handling behavioral problems. I am currently unemployed as I am preparing to begin my student teaching through Marshall this fall. My schedule is open, other than putting time aside to care for my own furry friends. I feel it is important to constantly ensure that the animal being cared for is comfortable. I plan to reassure your furry friends with positive reinforcement and playfulness. I also plan to uphold quality and safe measures while with the animals. I will make it a priority to send you pictures of your furry friend during my visit!
About: I have been caring for dogs most of my life. Now thatI am retired I am doing it full time. I can care for puppies through senior dogs. I even have a couple of special needs dogs who get along wonderfully. I only keep 2 dogs at a time so I can give them all personalized attention. I also bake all natural treats for them (that really helps with training 😂) I would love to have you for an afternoon, day, week or even if you just need a walk. Let's meet and see how your pup takes to me. I look forward to our first visit. I am home so they will not be left alone or kept in a kennel all day. They will be part of our daily activities. Daily routines may include multiple walks in the park, romping in the fenced back yard, socializing with other dogs, and playing fetch. Lets not forget nap time!!!
About: I have been an occasional pet sitter for friends and family since I was 10 years old. I have been very reliable to feed and walk multiple dogs during multiple day vacations. I am a college student who is home for January term so I am free all day to care for your pups! I am happy to walk, feed or play with your pets at any time of the day. I am a very gentile and kind person and love to play with pets. I would take care of your dogs in your home with ease.
About: I have been taking care of neighbors’ dogs since I was 10. I worked at a student run pet grooming program for 2 years, done in-home pet sitting for 6 years, and have worked at a pet hydrotherapy center for 3 years. I have experience with all dogs, and specifically senior dogs and dogs with special needs. I am a grad student at Marshall and am able to spend time with your pet around my class schedule during the week and I am typically not gone for more than 6 hours at a time. I am more flexible on the weekends. In my client’s home I am mindful of baby gates/dog gates and keeping them closed when instructed. I am also mindful of stairs and help the dog up and down if needed. I make sure the dog is as comfortable as possible while their owners are away by keeping to their usual routine as much as possible!
About: I have lived with dogs all my life! Currently have 2 dogs that just turned 15yo and are pretty much my children. I've been a volunteer walking dogs at the franklin county dog shelter since April 2024 and am used to various sizes, ages and temperaments. As a nurse of 10 years I'm very comfortable with medication administration and care. I can provide a slip leash for any size dog. I would be happy to meet your fur babies! I am available for weekend visits and dog walking. I will also be avaliable for certain days during the week however it depends on my work schedule. I'm available for dog walking and visits.

About: I have always had animals around. I work closely with local animal shelters. I am that person who sees an animal out on the loose and stops to find it’s home. My babies are my life. I have two dogs and two cats. I have always had animals. Your pets will be well taken care of and loved just like humans. I have two dogs and two cats. We are constantly playing outside, snuggling on the couch or watching movies. My pets love play time so I make sure to always give them the attention they need.

“Madison did a great job taking care of my dogs and updating me with photos and other information. She showed up on time and checked in every time to see if anything additional was needed. I plan to book with her again in the future.”
About: I have had 3 golden retrievers and 1 Pomeranian growing up. I do not have a dog right now but am willing to help anyone out that goes out of town or works long hours that needs their dog walked or needs to get their energy out. I am a registered nurse who starts at Cabell Huntington Hospital this month so right now I can do anytime of the day and weekends as well! All of my dogs have been crate trained and trained with commands. Walking with a leash was always a must with my pets so your dog will not be off the leash at any point so they do not run off.
About: i’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since about the age of 12. i would walk my neighbors dogs, bathe them, feed them, and of course give them all the attention! everyone i’ve ever sitted for has trusted me to do so and was happy with experience, i love animals it’s a dream to work with them! i’m currently not working at the moment so this would be my full time job! i have 5 animals of my own that would love more company and play time! i do have an unfenced yard but there’s a trail close by my home that i like walking my dogs at if that would be ok! of course i would leash them and take them in my yard to potty unless i was at the comfort of your home then i would simply take them to your yard to potty and play!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Barboursville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Barboursville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Barboursville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
