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!
“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 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.
About: Hi! I’ve spent years sitting and walking dogs for friends and family, so I definitely know every dog has their own personality and am happy to cater to them and take whatever time is needed to make them the most comfortable! Growing up there were always 3+ dogs in the house including puppies, seniors, and dogs with disabilities, so I’m equipped to handle all stages of life and different needs! I am patient, understanding, experienced, and ready to give your dog the most loving care! As a student with a part-time job my schedule is pretty flexible! For dogs, that means consistent walks, potty break, and feedings that match their normal schedule. For cats, regular feeding times, litter maintenance, and plenty of attention if they prefer it! Since my shifts change week to week, I will always confirm availability ahead of time and communicate about timing! Your pets safety is my top priority, in your home or mine! I live in an apartment, so I’m mindful about creating a secure, calm place, free of hazardous foods or items. I treat every pet in my care with the same level of attention I’d want for my own, so you can feel confident your dog or cat is in a safe and comfortable environment.
“Stephanie is the best! She communicates regularly. You always know what's going on with your pets. We get pictures every visit and an update on where they walked. Awesome!”
About: I have dog sat on and off for many years (maybe 10) mostly for friends and family, and occasionally cared for cats, but am new to Rover. I have grown up with dogs and have a deep love of them. I am comfortable with any breed, temperament and behavior permitting. I am also comfortable administering most forms of medication. I love getting dogs outside onto trails and exploring creeks (my dogs favorite things to do). I’m a graduate student who has lots of flexibility and works from home most of the time, providing flexibility and near constant supervision. Under most circumstances, I never have to be away for more than 3 hours. I watch over other peoples dogs like I care for my own. I provide frequent photo and text updates for peace of mind. Tell your dog I said hi. I am a graduate student, meaning I take few classes and primarily work from home. I am generally very flexible and available most times everyday. At the very most, I may be away from home for 3 hours at a time. Ultimately, I am more open and flexible than not. I have an unfenced yard (working on fencing it), but take the highest priority of ensuring dogs are safely secured in their harness or collar when going outside. Life inside is pretty normal, the occasional playtime, sleeping around, relaxing. Im no professional dog trainer, but would say I have a very self taught, well behaved dog, and as such enjoy trying of some training with dogs I watch. My dog, Maple, a two year old golden retriever is very welcoming and friendly to new dogs and loves to play with them.
About: I often volunteer at the SPCA to spend more time with animals. I love animals, and it is a great take away to spend time with a furry friend amidst all of life’s chaos. I currently work a day job semi full time, but I make sure to plan around with my rover schedule! My two pets are my world, and I have fit my home schedule surrounding caring for them. I prefer to lounge around with furry babies! I have grown up with pets my entire life, and know how important it is to give them a great quality of life. I will make sure all the pets needs are met, and have a primary focus of communication with owners. I want all of my clients to feel comfortable with my service, and to enjoy their time away knowing their babies are being loved!
“Gem was wonderful! She kept me updated, sent photos, and was very flexible while stopping by to walk my pups. Since Ivy can be a little unsure at first, she took the time to walk them separately, taking one out and then coming back for the other. Once Ivy warmed up, she was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated Gem’s patience and care. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, I foster and rescue cats, and volunteer. I’ve handled all pets from lizards to St Bernard’s. The most pets in a house I’ve ever had is 19! I am a full time student and work a part time job, but I’m flexible! I am willing to work with you to ensure your pet is taken care of! I’ve fostered 50+ cats with my family, and I grew up with big dogs. I have experience giving meds, and dealing with puppies and kittens.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats since I was young. I’ve been pet sitting through Rover for a while now and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets! I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate lots of attention to your pets. I also regularly house sit and dog sit for friends and family, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in your home or mine. I currently live in an apartment with plenty of grassy areas surrounding the complex—perfect for daily walks and outdoor playtime. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I’m always happy to take dogs out on a leash for fresh air and exercise.
“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!”
“Bethany did an amazing job! I was in need with very little notice and Bethany accepted the job and made it so easy. My pet was taken care of and I didn’t have to worry. I would recommend her a thousand times!”
About: Hi, I’m Mahala! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life from cats, dogs, horses, goats, turkeys, to even a few peacocks, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds and needs. I’m very attentive to animal body language and take the time to earn trust, especially with shy or more cautious pets (even the spicy kitties!). My goal is to meet your pet where they are and give them the kind of care I’d want for my own. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can be there when you can’t. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pets routines. I also maintain active pet sitting insurance as part of my commitment to providing secure, professional service. Spending time with animals genuinely makes my day, and I’d love to help care for yours! My schedule is very flexible and interchangeable. I can do visits between 8:30am-10:00pm any day of the week. I am able to do a visit with as little as a 2 hour notice. I take being in someone’s home seriously. I’m naturally clean, organized, and respectful of other people’s spaces, and I make sure to follow your instructions closely and keep everything secure.

I am waiting to meet your fluffy family member today! I will meet all requests and routines. I am a professional and will meet my contractual expectations. I will not bring other animals or humans into your private space and maintain confidentiality during our work relationship.
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: As a lifelong animal enthusiast, my upbringing surrounded by pets—including large breeds like the Great Pyrenees and small companions—has shaped my understanding and care for animals at every life stage. With six years of experience, what truly sets me apart from other sitters is my holistic and adaptive approach to pet care, especially when it comes to the various needs of puppies and senior pets. I am committed to ensuring that each pup, regardless of breed, size or age, has their needs met! Beyond this, I believe in keeping pet owners updated with frequent, detailed updates because I understand how important it is to feel your cherished pets are in safe hands. Whether it’s through texts or video updates, you will consistently be updated about your pet’s well-being. I am currently a student at West Virginia University looking to fill my extra time caring for your loved ones! I only have a few classes everyday, and the remainder of the time is spent at home. With that being said, my schedule works perfectly to give optimal care to your furry friends! To care for pets in a client's home, I ensure they have fresh water, proper food, and engage in regular playtime. During walks, I use appropriate leashes/harnesses, avoid busy roads, and keep a close eye on the pet's behavior and our surroundings to ensure safety.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Cheat Lake. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Cheat Lake.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
