About: Ever since I was a little girl I was surrounded by animals. My family had a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix named Abbie. She was beautiful--and massive!! We've also had four cats: Emily, Jose, Astro (affectionately called "Mister") and Oliver (affectionately called "Beebs".... I don't know why). In my own home, I have 3 cats Kiwi, Ellie, and Piper, and a mini Aussie named Ava. My husbands family has four dogs and nine cats. My mother in law is also a frequent roadside rescuer of opossums, raccoons, and other babies in need of help. I'm very good at looking after, taking care of, and loving other people's animals. I'm looking forward to providing your fur baby with as much joy and laughter as they will bring to me! I work full time from home. I can bring my laptop to your house if you need me to house sit. Or I can pop over for a walk whenever you need me. I have a fenced in side yard where my pup plays. We have an acre of property out back. No fence but we have a 50ft lead we take the dogs out on if we’re playing back there. I can crate your dog if necessary no problems there!

Regan was a wonderful fit for our needs and for our elder doggo. She initiated the meet and greet process beforehand to get to know Giles and his routine, as well as sent daily updates with photos during our time away. We'll certainly call upon her again - fully recommend!

About: I am the biggest animal lover! Everyone I know has relied on me to take care of their beloved fur-babies and you guys should too! I am new to Rover, but not new to animal care! I have had animals my whole life and pride myself in giving the best care. I currently am a high school social studies teacher. As an animal lover, however, I am very much looking forward to incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I have had pets my whole life and can’t wait to meet your fur-babies! I live in an apartment with two cats—Princess and Lilly. I would be happy to provide in home boarding for your cats or drop in visits! My cats are a little indifferent on dogs, however, so it would take a meet and greet before deciding on boarding a dog! With that being said, I can do walks and drop ins before and after school and on weekends. I will be happy to help in whatever way I can!

About: Since I was five years old when we adopted our family puppy, I have been involved in taking care of dogs. I have also over 350 hours of shelter volunteer experience in walking dogs, giving medications, and obedience training. Since I am hoping to be a vet one day, I am always wanting to meet new animals and give them the best care possible! I am currently a full-time student at Carleton and thus have classes and other extracurricular activities throughout the day. However, I have chunks of time throughout the day that could be devoted to pet care. If I am pet-sitting for you, your animal will be my priority! I do not have the capacity to care for your pet in my house, but I can provide whatever level of care you need in for your pet in your own home! If you need me to stay the night, I can do that. I am a detail-oriented person so whatever your pet needs I feel confident I can provide it.

Sara did a wonderful job house sitting for our 4 cats! She was very responsive during the booking process and visited our home for a "Meet and Greet" with our cats before we traveled. While we were away, she kept us updated with photos and videos of how everyone was doing and getting along. We could tell our cats were at ease with her and that she knew how to handle a multiple pet household . We highly recommend Sara and will be rebooking her in the future.

About: I have always had dogs growing up and been around them since I was a young girl. I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart. I’m looking to use rover part-time currently, I am a full time Research Assistant for Marshall’s School of Medicine. I’ve been using Rover for about 5 years on and off, and I have always really enjoyed it. I would be happy to help take care of your fur babies. :) I will be sure to follow instructions left for me and I will respect your home and your pets space! I prefer to do a meet and greet to know the nature of your pets/ form a proper respect and relationship with 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.

I didnt have to worry about a thing and they sent photos and updates and even helped make sure the house was cleaned and everything to come back to. I'm so grateful and definitely will be using Destiney and Ben as long as I live here. Thank you!!

I am reliable and trustworthy and would love the opportunity to care for your loved one. Currently I have open availability. I have reliable transportation and several references as well.

About: I have had dogs ever since I was little. Many times throughout my life I have taken care of my pets when my parents go out of town either on business of vacation and I love spending this one on one time with them. I currently have a labradoodle named Butler and his pup Wheezie. They are so energetic and love to play with one another. They love to sleep in the bed and enjoy snuggling as well. I am currently working in real estate full-time but most of my business is done from home. This also allows my schedule to be flexible for your benefit! There may be times where I will be gone if I have showings scheduled which will be done during the day, but these showings will depend on what is most convenient for my real estate clients. There is access to a large fenced-in area for all pets to roam and play. There can also be trips to the local dog park in Hurricane WV.

About: With 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding and love for animals to every pet I care for. Whether it’s my own beloved pets or those of others, I’ve spent decades providing attentive, compassionate, and reliable care. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating your pets like family. I focus on creating a safe, loving environment while tailoring my care to meet their unique needs. You can trust that your furry friends will receive the same level of dedication and attention as my own. I do work full time, but my schedule is pretty flexible, as I set my own hours. My full time job is hybrid, remote three days a week and I travel two days a week. Those days are not set, but I prefer to travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am a great communicator and will always provide ample notice if I am not available, and I am happy to work with you to my best ability. When it comes to pet sitting, I ensure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and at ease. I prefer pet sitting in the client home because this is where your pets are going to be the most comfortable. I prioritize maintaining their routines and creating a calm, familiar atmosphere. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime and snuggles, I follow your instructions to the letter, ensuring your pets feel cared for and content while you’re away. I also find it important to maintain a clean, comfy, and secure space. With my years of experience, I understand the importance of communication and will keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your pets are in loving hands. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention I would for my own pets, ensuring their happiness and well-being every step of the way.

About: I’ve mostly worked as an RN but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!

About: When I think of dogs & cats , I think of them as humans and part of my family. I have had animals all my life and treat them very well. I currently have a Maine Coon cat, named Charlie. Growing up, I walked the neighborhood dogs and helped take care of the neighbors cats also. I took care of dogs all breeds, sizes and personalities. I can do drop-in visits before work, on my lunch hour, and after work. I can also do over night visits if your pup loves company! 🐶💙 I do work full-time during the week, but I always run home on lunch ( 1 hour long) to let dogs out, eat, and run around. I have a large fenced in back yard to keep your fur babies happy while they are with me. When I am not home, I do keep them in the crate. If I am house sitting/doing drop in visits, I run out on lunch to guarantee they get let out 3 times a day.

We just moved to Huntington and needed someone to stay with our anxious beagle, Buggs. Natalie was an absolute godsend. She came for a pre-stay meet and greet, and she had a wonderful rapport with him, She was in great commmunication with us while we were away and sent lots of upates. I can't say enough positive things about how professional and kind Natalie is. We would definitely use her again.

She spent 5 days with my 2 kitties. My super shy guy usually hides for DAYS under the couch when I'm gone, but he came out 2 hours into Natalie's first day caring for them. She's got great kitty vibes! She sent me notes daily on how they were doing and photos as well. And the house was left just as I'd left it, even taking out the trash for me. I definitely recommend Natalie as a caretaker.
