“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!”

“Summer was great with both my dog and cat. She was very conscientious and always kept me up to date with pictures and descriptions of how they were doing. Highly recommend!”

“Andrea (Annie) was prompt every day, sent regular photos and communication! Our pets got top shelf care and were in excellent condition when we got back home!! Andrea will be our go to sitter from now on!!”

“Josie and Jake were fantastic as always with the cats! They provide great and funny updates about how the cat’s day is going and always make sure to check on our shy guy even if he doesn’t come out to see them. They really treat them like their own and we love that. Will always book them if they are available for our trips.”

“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.”
“Would 100% recommend Autumn for your dog sitting needs. She has been wonderful. We currently have her come a few days week to take our dog out while I am at work. Our dog Luna instantly loved her at the meet and greet. Autumn is always on time and tries her best to be available for our drop in visit needs. She is greatly appreciated.”

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. In February 2024, I welcomed a miniature poodle in my home named Benny. I hope to speak with you soon! I do my best to keep my schedule updated. I do work two jobs, one being at home. I can best help in the evening and weekend. I ensure to spend quality time with your pet when providing a drop in service. I ensure to follow all instructions on feeding and water.
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.
“Brittany is wonderful with our girls (who can be a little difficult). I never worry that their schedule will be disrupted. She cares so greatly for them. I look forward to the next time we have her sit for them!”

Barboursville pet 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!!!!
