“Wendi was wonderful with our cat! She was on time, very communicative, and took great care of our cat. She gave us peace of mind that our cat was in good hands while we were away!”
“Bethany did a great job caring for my daughter’s two cats. She was able to administer insulin shots to the older cat. Would recommend again.”
“Megan did a wonderful job! She handled the different needs of each of our cats like a pro. One cat needs twice daily pills, and she was prompt each and every time. She went above and beyond, even taking care of a couple small requests I made. I have no hesitation in recommending Megan to other people and will definitely be hiring her again the next time we need a hand!”
“Thanks again Josie! Huge help on a Mountaineer game day!”
About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, intuition, and grounded presence to every animal I care for. My background in law enforcement, behavioral observation, and trauma-informed support makes me especially skilled with animals who are anxious, reactive, or sensitive. I’ve worked with everything from puppies to senior pets, high-energy working breeds to misunderstood rescues, and multi-pet households that require structure and reliability. I’m confident with medication administration, basic training follow-through, and reading body language to prevent issues before they start. What sets me apart? 🐾 Veteran-level experience—not a hobbyist or casual sitter 🐾 Criminal justice & security background—you can trust your home and animals are safe 🐾 Farm-capable—comfortable caring for chickens, goats, donkeys, horses, and more 🐾 Trauma-aware—I understand how to approach fearful or reactive animals with calm authority 🐾 Energetically grounded—I leave your pets emotionally balanced, not just fed Whether you're gone for a day or several weeks, I ensure your animals are cared for with the same diligence and loyalty I give my own. Additional Animal & Farm Care Pricing Have animals that aren’t listed on Rover? No problem—I also care for chickens, goats, donkeys, horses, and more.

“I can’t say enough great things about Gianna! From the moment we met, I knew my pup was in good hands. They treated my dog like family—sending updates, sharing photos, and making sure every little detail was taken care of. My dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can trust when I have to be away. Reliable, kind, and truly an animal lover through and through. I highly recommend Gianna to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy, well-cared-for pet. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Chelsie is an amazing cat sitter and took great care of our kitty cinder while we were gone on family trip. Chelsie took lots of pictures and gave us updates frequently. Great communication and care for our pet!”
About: I grew up in a household with four dogs, three of them being Great Danes. Growing up with dogs, I have learned to train, walk, and take care of them. This is where my love for dogs came about. From the time I was 14 I was always taking care of and watching dogs for my neighbors, family, and friends. I have experience with dogs as small as Chihuahuas to as big as New Foundlands. I have watched and stayed with dogs for weeks at a time or just for a few hours after work. My parent's three Great Danes love going to the dog park, playing outside, and going on long walks. So, I have experience with caring for multiple large dogs at a time. My boyfriend and I own an Australian Shepherd, so I am also very familiar with high strung dogs who need to get more energy out than most. Along with my dogs, I have 15 chickens. If you ever need me to tend to your chickens while I am dog sitting, I can do this also! I am very dedicated to taking care of your pups as if they are my very own. I am a 1st grade teacher, so my best qualities are being flexible and patient with all of your pet needs! I am a full-time 1st grade teacher, so I have plenty of time on my summers and weekends off. During the school year, I am free after 3:30! I have stayed at family's and friend's homes for an extended period of time to watch their pups during the school year, so I am definitely available to do that as well. I have taken care of dogs who are fenced in or have acres to explore, and dogs who are free range or are crated in the home. With my parent's four dogs, they have an unfenced yard, so I have experience using shock/training collars to control them on their 7 acres.
“Molly is WONDERFUL! I was so worried because we have a rescue cat who can get bitey and scratchy. It takes him awhile to trust. Molly was consistent, kind, and patient with him. We were really relieved at how well she took care of him, cleaned his box, played and gave him treats and lots of love. She sent regular photos and updates, and just really gave us peace of mind that he was looked after like he was her own.”
“Kimberly did an awesome job taking care of Tiger. She had great communication with me. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely rebook whenever I travel again.”
“Abby did a great job”
“Great job! Definitely recommend her! She was more than accommodating to my crazy pup! Lol Thank you!”

Then, I come home and take care of my own animals. 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!

“Caitlin took great care of our cat while we were out of town. She played with Millie and sent some great photos! When our flight got cancelled and we had to be gone another day she was able to take care of Millie. We appreciated her flexibility! Would recommend her and will definitely use her the next time we are out of town!”
“Absolutely wonderful! She kept in contact with me the whole time and asked about anything she was unsure of! 10/19 recommend anytime!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, & ages since I was old enough to remember. Friends and family have always relied on me when it comes to taking care of their fur children. I work as a RN full time, doing 3 12 hour shifts a week and I love playing with my own dog during my off time. I have a yard which my dog enjoys playing frisbee in, he’s never leashed outside at home as he listens better than most humans I know. I’m well aware of leash manners too if your dog is better on the leash in new environments.
About: I’m currently a stay at home mom with open availability 7 days a week for drop ins and walks! All of my employees at my former full time job took advantage of the opportunity to bring their dog to work with them. I spent most days at work caring for my employees' fur babies in the office while they repair vehicles. It gives them the chance to spend time with their pups even when they're away from home 8+ hours per day. I have experience with breeds of all sizes, including massive breeds such as great danes. I often tell people "My life revolves around cars, trucks, & dogs." I’m currently a stay at home mom with open availability! I have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies and give them the love & exercise that they deserve! I currently don’t offer any services in my own home due to my own dogs’ territorial personalities, but I look forward to being welcomed into my clients homes!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs. This includes my own and others for years. I currently have taken on the challenge of training a rescue puppy! I work three days a week with a bakery side hustle so things are pretty flexible! We can definitely make accommodations for your four legged friend! I’m very reliable and trustworthy. I take care of my own pets before myself it seems like sometimes! Your pets come first, no worries there!
About: As long as I can remember growing up we always had animals mostly dogs. As I got older I have always been the one my friends and family come to when they need someone to care for their pets. I would pet sit, take them on walks , stay with them and play with them. I am a true dog lover through and through. I have had dogs my whole life . My son has 5 dogs and pretty much everyone I know is a pet lover so no matter where I go I’m around animals. I watch dogs for friends and my son often. I can take them to the dog park to run and play with other dogs. We can go on walks and play in the yard.

Taylor P.
“Every pet owner wants peace of mind and zero worry or guilt when they have someone else watch their pets. Taylor gives all of that when she takes care of your pets. Taylor has watched our 3 dogs on a number of occasions and everytime she does, I never worry. She treats them and loves on them like they are HER pets. Our one dog is an older dog on many different medications. Taylor has had no issues giving him medicine. She even watched our one dog very early on when she was a puppy, so Taylor certainly knows how to handle all life stages. She always communicates with us whether to touchbase via text/call or to send us pictures. She is very organized and neat and has always left our place better than when she arrived. We will continue to use Taylor to watch our crew. 100% recommend.”

Ciara W.
“Ciara is a dedicated animal lover, to say the least. The minute she comes in contact with any animal, she automatically falls in love and gathers the mood of the interaction she can present to them. If your pet allows, she will coo- and cuddle it just like her own. She has two dogs herself and they are the best to watch because they are so well behaved. She will always love any animal like her own, that’s just Ciara! I would highly recommend her house if you’re looking for somewhere to know your animal will be loved and cared for while you’re away!”
