“Jackie did a most amazing job carrying for our Amstaff Jacob. Always leaving detailed messages and plenty of photos ! She will definitely be our first go to of possible.”


“Lauren was super responsive and took great care of our very energetic 2 1/2 year old German Shepherd. Our dog was very well cared for and happy with two daily walks and feeding. I recommend Lauren and give her 5 stars for a green job.”


“Heather has done an amazing job with my pup Courage. Since he's so young, i have her dropping by twice a day while I am at work, and she sends me video and photo updates of my pup. Courage seems to be warming up to her and I appreciate that he's in good hands.”


“Rebecca was amazing! She was flexible with a short notice change and it was much appreciated! Dependable and right on time! I loved the feedback and pictures! Will definitely book with her again!! Thank you so much, Rebecca! 🌟”


“Kristen has been so amazing with Sulley! He is normally hesitant around new people and he took to her so quickly! She is great at playing with him and respects my instructions. She is empathetic and goes beyond to help — even my sweet four year old cat who is afraid of everyone immediately walked out to greet her! She is going to be a regular visitor for Sulley and myself. ❤️”


About: I’ve had pets my entire life and developed a deep love and respect for animals from an early age. I grew up with two cats, one of whom was truly my best friend. She was by my side 24/7 throughout my childhood, and her passing was incredibly difficult, a reminder of just how deep the bond with an animal can be. I also regularly cared for a neighbor’s dog while he was in hospice. I’ve looked after friends’ pets while they were on vacation, always making sure they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, they often make the most loyal and understanding companion I am currently working Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. I am willing to check in on animals during week days before I go into work and after. I am ok with staying overnight as well. I am available on weekends whatever times are needed. In client’s home I follow the directions of care that they have requested for their pet. I also start by greeting the pets and making sure they get as much love as they need as it is difficult for them when their owner is not there.

About: I have been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life. Over the years, I have been a pet parent (or pet grandparent!) to fish, birds, mice, rats, and even ferrets! As the current owner of one rotten Border Collie and six spoiled cats, my pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and stress free when you can’t be there. I would love the opportunity to give your fur babies the love and care they need, and deserve, in your absence. I am currently a stay-at-home wife and the mom of one grown and flown daughter with plenty of time available to take care of you, and your fur baby’s, needs. As a trusted person in your home, careful attention detail and leaving things as they found them is of utmost importance to me! I want you and your fur babies to be comfortable and secure in the fact that I will care for them in a way you would, and carefully follow any care instructions given to ensure their safety, and your peace of mind.

“Dianne gave our pup the VIP treatment! She went above and beyond our expectations for drop in visits. She treated him with special Santa treats for Christmas! I felt comfortable knowing I was leaving him in good hands. She included videos in her Rover cards and was on time, every time. Blu can’t wait to see her again soon!”


“Tavin is amazing. She is very professional and went above and beyond to care for our dogs . We received pictures and updates all seven days of our vacation. She’s very flexible and responsive to requests. We will definitely look to Tavin in the future to take care of our dogs.”

“Lindsey is extremely kind, prompt and very meticulous about her work with animals. Our dogs both enjoyed their time with her, especially our boy Max who was treated to a walk to his favorite location in Martinsburg. We are looking forward to future visits with Lindsey, and would definitely recommend her. 😊”


“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”


“I had a very positive experience with my first time using Rover. It was great to not have to worry about my pets because they were being cared for. I would definitely book with Bri again.”


About: Hi, I’m Kellie! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for furry companions of all kinds. As a dedicated pet parent and experienced caregiver, I understand just how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is high-energy, laid-back, or needs a little extra TLC, they’ll be in good hands with me. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to providing a calm, comfortable environment and personalized attention. Whether you need daily drop-ins or dog walks, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved, secure, and right at home. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family member! I work from home so I am available any time. My 8 year old Shih-Poo, Harley, is my baby and I am fortunate enough to be able to spend most of my day with her. I have a fenced back yard and pet friendly home. My Shih-Poo is good with other dogs and loves to run and play. I live in a pet friendly community with plenty of community walking paths. I will follow your instructions and wishes to the letter.

“Jessica is great! She always takes very good care of our cat Neo and he enjoys her visits. We always feel good knowing Jessica is looking after Neo when we go out of town.”


“Kathryn was amazing with our dog, Blue. While we were away, a skunk somehow got into our fenced yard and sprayed him. Kathryn immediately messaged me to let me know what happened, and she went above and beyond—gently cleaning off his face that night and returning the next morning to give him a full bath. She handled the situation calmly and responsibly, and I’m so grateful she was the one caring for Blue. I highly recommend her—things don’t always go as planned with pets, and Kathryn proved she can handle the unexpected with care and professionalism.”


About: Hi, I'm Autumn. I am currently working as a therapist during the week, but I like to keep busy during my off time, and I also have the biggest heart for pets. I have 5 furbabies (4 cats, 1 pup) of my own that I love to call my zoo. Every animal I meet and take care of has been treated as if they were my own.. SPOILED! While I am a full time therapist during the week, I love to use my weekends as a way to decompress and what better way than to add in animals?! I am more than happy to take your pups on long walks or just play many rounds of fettch to give them all the exercise they need, but more than anything to also get all their zoomies out!

About: Like most homes, I grew up with many pets. We constantly had animals in our home. I have experience with newborn to seniors and everything in between 😊. I have been a stay at home mom for 7 years. Since my youngest started school I have been alone at home with nothing to do. I am available anytime while my kids are in school and anytime in the evenings when my husband is home from work. I am also available for over night sitting on weekends. I am ecstatic to help out in any way with your fur baby! I will give them so much love and care, like they were my own! I am not able to have pets in my current home, but I can do whatever I can to help in your home or with daily walking. Whatever you need, please let me know. 😊

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, owner and founder of RogiBear Pet Sitting Services. I am lifelong animal lover with a passion for providing top-notch care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals—both my own and those of friends, family, and clients. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. I’m also comfortable with administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and following any specific routines or training methods you have in place. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I strive to offer peace of mind through constant communication, photo updates, and personalized care. Let’s meet and see if I’m the right fit for your pet’s needs—I’d love to help keep their tail wagging (or purr going) while you’re away! I can offer same day care but please reach out to me first. I work part-time in the mornings on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which means I’ve got lots of free time to hang out with your pets! Whether they need a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m around and happy to help. With a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas during walks, and closely monitor each pet’s behavior and comfort level. Whether it’s keeping an eye on the weather or double-checking gates and doors, I make sure every pet stays safe and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I communicate clearly and promptly with pet parents, provide updates with photos, and follow all care instructions to the letter. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being. I care deeply about the environment and try to minimize my impact during walks and visits. I always clean up after pets, properly dispose of waste, and reuse supplies when safe and appropriate. I also support local parks and green spaces so pets can enjoy clean, healthy environments for their adventures.
