Dog Walking Cheat Lake

“Payton was absolutely wonderful to work with! She is professional, friendly, and great with our puppy. We got our first dog during covid so we had absolutely no idea what to expect when hiring through Rover and Payton made everything super easy. She is very quick to respond to communication and consistently remembers to lock up after walking our puppy. We will definitely be working with her again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life! I also worked in management at my previous job, which shows I can excel in situations and love to do my best! I am a student at WVU and work part time in the hospital as well. I am a college student at WVU so I have classes in the morning to early afternoon but I am free early morning and around 1 pm on until the evening! I ensure that all pets are safe while in my care and make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and check in frequently as well!

“Sammi continues to be very reliable and gives thorough reports of her visits with Bella each time ! So thankful for her so we can go to our kids sporting events stress free knowing our dog is being well taken care of while we are away !”

About: I have 2 dogs (Archie & Cheney) and grew up watching and feeding pets on the weekends for family, friends and neighbors. While in school I worked at horse stables for 4 summers and had multiple golden retrievers, cow dogs and farm animals to take care of. I work from home full time with my dogs by my side. I’m regularly available in the morning, lunch time and after 4pm for dog walks. Also, available throughout the day for pet check ins, flexible schedule on the weekends. Will take good care of pets and home while in your space. Will be respectful of your home and community while walking your dog. I’m flexible throughout the week and weekend to assist with your dogs/ cats.

“Stephanie is the greatest! She has each pet’s best care in mind and makes helpful suggestions after observations while we are gone. It’s great to hear what she’s noticed that we may not have noticed after seeing them every day. Thanks Stephanie!”

About: I have grown up with cats and during late middle school years I have took care of my grandparents cats by providing food, water, and entertainment while they went on vacation. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter to entertain and walk the dogs, and recently have had experience house sitting a dog and two cats for two weeks with providing water every day, proper scheduled food, keeping the litter cleaned three times a day and as needed, and took the dog on walks every day to keep her active as well as making sure the cats never got bored. I’m a WVU freshman who is currently working towards majoring in Animal and Nutritional Sciences to pursue a dream job as a veterinarian. I am hoping to gain more experience with your beloved furry friends and a little extra cash in-between my semester breaks! Unfortunately, I do not provide care at my personal residence, but as long as you leave your pets with me I’ll treat them as my own, proving them fresh water every morning, keeping up with the scheduled feeding schedules, and making sure they always have clean litter and that your dogs are walked multiple times a day. As well as providing them entertainment while they’re in my possession making sure they never get bored, getting the proper attention and care they deserve.

About: I've had experience with puppies to powdered sugar muzzles and from <10lbs to 100+! High energy or a friend who loves a nap, I'll do by best to help your dog have a good time even when you aren't there for the fun. I'm currently a graduate student on summer break with a pretty open schedule. I may pick up a more traditional hourly job on the side, but I'm excited for the opportunity to stay busy over the summer and meet some amazing people and pets while I do it. As I have pets of my own who are a bit easily stressed, I do not offer services where your pet will be in my home. However, I have no issues coming to you! In your home, I will be calm and respectful and don't mind cleaning up any messes your pet may have made.

“Great person ! Responsible, timely, loves my dog”

About: I am a teacher with 15 years experience in education working with young children and their families. I am married with two wonderful children in elementary and high schools. We have two cats and one dog who keep our home full of love and lots of fur! I cannot think of a single time in my life when I didn’t have a pet. I’ve cared for pets and tiny humans for most of my adult life and would love to make your life easier by helping care for yours! I am a full-time teacher and mom so my availability consists of early mornings/late evenings, weekends, holidays and summers! I have reliable all-wheel drive transportation during the winter. I’ll follow whatever agreed upon directives given to me when it comes to caring for your pet! I can do as little or as much as you need!

“Adeline was so so sweet with our pup! She gave her a great walk, cleaned up after her, and gave unlimited belly scratches! Would definitely recommend and will be using her again :)”

“Kayla is awesome! I felt fully comfortable with her taking my pups for two walks. Seeing the smiles on their faces made me feel at ease. Thank you Kayla for helping me out on such short notice as well. I will definitely call you again!”

About: I have cared for and been around dogs throughout my whole life. I have always had a passion for animals! I love to run and play with dogs that have as much energy as I do or even just hangout on the couch and enjoy a relaxing day. I want to meet all of your pets needs even in last minute circumstances so that their humans can enjoy a stress free experience! Traveling and unexpected situations can be difficult and I want to make sure your pet is comfortable. I’m familiar with caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I currently make my own work schedule and have extremely flexible days. I’m always willing to adjust when needed. I love all sizes and breeds so I can accommodate any energy level as well I have a very loving and super friendly puppy of my own who would love to keep your pet company! We go for lots of walks throughout the day and get lots of time outside. I have cats as well that are very friendly with dogs but they can also be kept away in their own space if need be!

About: I have raised dogs all my life. A few years back I used to rescue and board temporarily until the dogs were nursed back to health. Once the dogs were adoptable we would set up meet and greets to adopt out. I am experienced with many breeds. I used to have a terrier who was diagnosed with diabetes. We had to do injections twice a day and put her on a feeding schedule. I have experience with several breeds starting small to huge! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have a wide open schedule at the moment and I'm just looking for busy work until school starts. My dogs are let out routinely. They are fed on a strict schedule twice a day. They are brushed and played with to help exercise them especially the bigger breeds due to their hips.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine, lifelong love for dogs and my hands-on experience as a pet owner myself. I have two dogs, and my oldest is now 7 years old, so I understand the different needs that come with both younger and older dogs. I’m patient, responsible, and very in tune with dogs’ body language and emotional needs. I’m also experienced with basic training for puppies and attentive care for senior dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines to match their energy and health needs. I treat every dog like family and aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment tailored to each pet’s personality. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life since I have two dogs of my own. I’m used to planning my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them the attention they deserve. Adding care for other pets fits seamlessly into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and committed to making sure each pet gets the consistent care and love they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like medication or crate time. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. I also keep your home tidy and secure, and I’m happy to send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have experience in working with animals in boarding and daycare and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I am trained in animal restraint, administering medications, and reading body language. I also have 3 family dogs and one of my own. Taking care of pets is my life. For work, I take care of animals at Duck Hollow Animal Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant. I am also studying Veterinary Technology at Pennwest California. Because of my academics, during school, I will only be able to book on Sundays. I have a female rescue dog that loves other dogs and cats! If you want your dog to have a friend, I can bring her, or if not, that's okay too!

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, starting with helping neighbors with pets when I was only six years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I currently have two dogs (ages 9 and 5) who I have raised since they were puppies. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and learning each pet’s unique personality and needs. I provide loving, attentive care and treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I work in the school system, so I have lots of availability during the summer, and then on weekends and evenings during the school year. I have two friendly dogs and can crate animals when needed. Soon I will have a fenced yard as well. I am always very careful to ensure that doors and entryways are latched.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. My family has an adorable golden retriever, and I have a rambunctious 8 month-old tuxedo cat. I believe pets are truly members of the family and I will treat your critters the same way :) Very open schedule at this time! I do have obligations from 8am-1pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but am free to care for your furry friends in the afternoons on those days. Happy to provide any services you may need. Able to walk pets, administer medications, cuddle, play, etc. I will make sure your pet is happy and healthy!

“Makayla did an excellent job with our pup! She was prompt and kept us up to date while we were gone. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m a 30-year-old nurse and proud beagle mom to my sweet 5-year-old girl. As someone who works long shifts in healthcare, I truly understand how important it is to have reliable, loving care for your pets when life gets busy. That’s why I’m offering drop-in visits for pets in the nearby area, helping give fellow pet parents peace of mind. My schedule can vary, so I kindly ask for 1–2 weeks’ notice to coordinate visits around my work shifts. I’m also open to overnight house sitting depending on availability—we can chat to see what works best! On my days off, I love getting outside and would be happy to take your pup for a walk on a nearby trail—possibly even alongside my own friendly beagle, if you’re comfortable with that. She’s great with other dogs and would love the company! Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a relaxing walk, or some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help care for them like one of my own. my schedule changes weekly, so my availability is variable. I’m primarily available for drop-in visits close to home on my days off, and I kindly ask for 1 to 2 weeks’ advance notice whenever possible to help me plan ahead. I’m open to overnight stays after building trust and familiarity with clients, but those will depend on my work schedule. I also occasionally travel, so consistent communication is appreciated for long term planning. I do not provide in-home boarding or care at my own home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I’m always respectful of your space and your pet’s needs.
