Allysa was wonderful! She spent a weekend taking care of my dog and two cats and sent pictures of all 3 at least twice a day with very detailed updates. Two of them were on medication and she had no problems getting them to take their pills. I will definitely be booking with Allysa next time I need someone to watch my pets.

Caroline did a fantastic job watching our 3 pups. She kept us informed the whole time about how things were going. She sent us pictures of them, which we loved so much! Everything was perfect when we got back home and our dogs were happy and very well cared for. Would definitely recommend booking her to take care of your pets!

Emma did a great job staying with our dogs while we were out of town for 3 days/nights. She adapted quickly to their routines and provided us with daily updates (with pics) which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely call on her again and highly recommend her as a competent and caring pet sitter!

About: With 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’m confident caring for animals of all ages and needs. I’ve fostered four litters of kittens, administered oral and topical medications, and cared for senior pets (including my own arthritic dog). From energetic playtime to gentle senior support, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I’m available pretty much all day! I work part time and am an online student. I accept day-of bookings and can usually be available whenever I am needed. I’m comfortable handling just about anything your pets need! I can feed them, refresh their water, and even provide live food for reptiles if needed. I’m also happy to administer medication and will always keep you updated on how your pets are doing while you’re away. I have two cats, one dog, and two hamsters of my own, so daily pet care is a big part of my routine. I feed them every day, scoop the litter boxes regularly, and deep-clean the hamsters’ habitats every other week. Our dog, Buster, has arthritis and needs a little extra help getting around, so I take him outside multiple times a day and make sure he’s comfortable. Their water bowls are always full, and they’re definitely very spoiled! I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own-with lots of attention, patience, and love!

Brittney is the absolute best! We had never used this service before as we were concerned about leaving our pups… well, Brittney has changed that! We booked her again and also have a third weekend we need assistance with and we requested Britteny. She kept us updated and informed as well as sent us pictures. We have a temperamental corgi and he was snuggled up to her- this is not his typical behavior, so we have dubbed Brittney the dog whisperer.

About: I provide dependable, attentive pet sitting and dog walking services tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My services include daily dog walks, drop-in visits, extended care, feeding, fresh water, medication administration if needed, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Walks are always adjusted to your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort—whether that means a brisk walk, a relaxed stroll, or extra time for sniffing and mental stimulation. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, which has given me a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior and care. I personally train my own pets and am comfortable reinforcing basic commands, leash manners, and positive behaviors during walks and visits. In addition, I have professional experience working in a dog boarding center, where I learned how to properly care for dogs in a group and individual setting, including feeding routines, cleaning, safety protocols, and bathing and grooming basics. My schedule allows me to be flexible and reliable for clients. I am able to dedicate meaningful, uninterrupted time to each visit and walk, ensuring your pet is never rushed and always receives proper attention. Whether you need regular weekly care, occasional help, or care while you’re away, I strive to be accommodating and dependable. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing professional, loving care while keeping pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to be very flexible with pet care throughout the day. I work until 2:30 PM, so my afternoons and evenings are fully available for walks, drop-in visits, extended care, and quality time with pets. This schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and accommodating to your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize consistency, exercise, and individual attention. I walk my dog a minimum of two times per day (on- and off-leash when appropriate) and ensure all pets get plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special care instructions closely, while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I have both puppy, senior, and handicap dog care experience relative to basic feeding, walking, and nurturing, all the way to administering medication 3x daily and even relieving the bladder of a paralyzed dog! During the evenings/nights I work as a commercial cleaner for various locations around Huntington and Barboursville including OVP Dentistry, Marshall's Big Green Foundation, and Ohio Valley Banks. I determine my own hours at my cleaning job, so my schedule and time are pretty flexible to accommodate your pet care needs. Please feel free to reach out with any inquiries regarding availability. I'm happy to work with you to assure a happy client and a happy pet! I will go above and beyond to cater to your pet’s needs and overall comfort. I have been the primary dog/cat sitter for various Marshall University professors and my care comes highly recommended.

I can’t recommend Clara enough after she took care of our dog over the weekend. She was incredibly respectful of our space, ensuring everything was tidy while showering Max with love and attention. Daily updates with photos showed them having a fantastic time on walks and playtime, which put our minds at ease. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned, and we’re already planning to book with Clara again!

About: Responsible and caring dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience raising and caring for my own German Shepherd since I was 9. Now almost 20, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, routines, and what it takes to keep pups happy and healthy. I’m dependable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether it’s a fun walk, some playtime, or just being a calm, friendly presence. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I have a completely open and flexible schedule this summer, as I’m taking online classes. I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting—morning, afternoon, or evening. Happy to work around your dog’s routine and needs! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are always my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality, preferences, and routines so they feel secure and at ease. I make sure they have plenty of fresh water, comfortable resting spots, and a peaceful environment free from hazards or stress. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and familiar. I always respect your space, treat it like my own, and give lots of love and attention to your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just good company, I’m always focused on creating a positive, trusting relationship with both pets and their people.

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience 🐾 I treat every pet like family, with loving, reliable care tailored to their needs. I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments and provide a safe, structured, and calm environment. I have one dog, and my mom has another who stays in her room except to go outside. Rover dogs are always kept separate from our personal pets. My young grandchild (under 5) lives in the home, so visiting pets should be comfortable around children. We have a secure fenced yard, pet-friendly spaces, and plenty of attention to give. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just a comfy place to stay—I’ve got them covered. ❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m home and available throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and companionship. I work evenings delivering luggage for the airport, but I’m typically only gone for a few hours after 9:30 PM. During the day, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, day care, and boarding supervision. My home has a secure fenced yard for easy potty breaks and safe play, and I only have one dog of my own—who stays separate from Rover pets. I also have a young grandchild in the home, so I maintain a structured, safety-focused environment. Your pet will be in good hands, with care that’s consistent, personalized, and reliable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, structured environment with clear boundaries and lots of love. Pets in my care have their own designated space and are always supervised during play, feeding, and downtime. I have one dog of my own, and my mother has another who stays in her room except to go outside. Rover pets are always kept separate from our personal dogs to reduce stress and ensure a smooth, safe stay. There’s a securely fenced yard for outdoor time, and the indoor space is pet-friendly, clean, and cozy. My young grandchild (under 5) lives in the home, so pets should be comfortable around children—but rest assured, interactions are always closely monitored for safety. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. You can trust that they’ll be loved, well-cared for, and treated like one of the family—because that’s what they deserve. ❤️

Emma is an amazing sitter! Our cat Ferrari loves her! She warmed up instantly to her. Emma was always giving us photos so we could somehow miss her less on our trip to the Bahamas. I am pretty sure she gave her a bath. She smelled so good and was extra fluffy when she came galloping towards us when we opened the door. She left the place perfect and took out the litter and cleaned up. We will be always booking with her, we have several more trips this year and the up coming year. And I’m so glad Ferrari has made a new friend to hang out with and be taken care of while we vacation together. Thank You, Emma.

Kayla is nothing short of an angel. We booked very last minute but she was very accomodating. She was very nurturing with our three pets and gave each one special attention. She kept us updated multiple times each day with pics, videos and text. If you are looking for someone to love your babies as much as you do then Kayla is a must.
