“Theresa was wonderful with my high maintenance boys (crate and rotate, anxiety, and reactivity). Got daily updates and quickly won over the hearts of my anxious puddle and my reactive “no thoughts” pretty boy!”
About: I have over six years of experience in animal care and am eager to continue my career. My goal is to work at a veterinary clinic or hospital, or establish my own mobile grooming business after completing grooming school. In my previous role at Sobo Dog Daycare, I gained experience maintaining a safe environment for dogs and recognizing canine body language and behaviors. I'm currently working from home part time as well as doing this part time. My hours are flexible and I'm usually always able to adjust my schedule to accommodate to my rover clients schedule! I can provide care to both, long stays at clients residence or I can provide boarding services in my home!! Whatever is the best for the client and also for the pet parent as well! If im boarding I suggest bringing anything that is favorable, toy or bed, blanket ect its easier for them to get adjusted to the new environment if they have something familiar from home with them.
About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other household pets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to build trust while providing attentive, personalized care. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering medications when needed, cleaning up after pets, providing companionship, and maintaining consistent routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. I am proud of my commitment to treating every pet like family. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being so I can quickly notice any changes that may need attention. I communicate regularly with pet owners, provide updates and photos, and always strive to give them peace of mind while they’re away. I am patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, or shy animals that need extra patience, I provide loving, responsible care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and safe. I work from home with generous breaks. While my schedule is 9-5, I wake early to go on walks in my neighborhood, and my work day includes 1.5 hours of breaks. After work is much like “before work”. A pet would work perfectly in this schedule I have a 3 story townhome and garage! I recently installed a fence! I will keep the pet entertained with fetch, and other stimulating games and puzzles
“Day is phenomenal! She’s such a wonderful person and you can tell instantly how much she loves animals. She took the time to get to know our 4 dogs and even learned their quirks and built up trust with them. By the end of the weekend our Cattle dog was in love with her. He was very disappointed when it was us who came through the door and not Day. 🤣 Thank you so much Day for your care and kindness with our dogs. We even learned a lot from you! We will definitely apply your tips to our training routine right away. We will definitely call when we need a sitter again!”
“We're grateful to find someone that we can trust in our house and with our pets. She also took care of our daughters pets while we were away on vacation!!!! Great communication through text/Rover app.”
“This was our first time booking with Emily as our usual sitter canceled on us last minute. Emily went above and beyond our expectations and our dogs loved her! Chows are a very special breed that definitely don’t take to new people quickly but ours loved Emily! We felt very calm and at ease with her at our house watching the pups. We will definitely work with her in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Samantha, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles of all ages and personalities. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet like they are my own. I currently have two dogs and a cat, so I understand the importance of patience, structure, and lots of love when caring for pets. My home is pet-friendly and safe for boarding, and I also offer in-home pet sitting so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. Since I have open availability, I am able to provide flexible scheduling, last-minute bookings, and consistent care when you need it most. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m always available and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! My schedule allows me the flexibility to fully be with your pets if I am boarding or need to drop in. When your pets are with me I like to make sure we’re having fun! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment while following each pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine. Pets are always supervised, introduced safely to my animals if needed, and kept comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they are away.
About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Duckwall
What can I say that Theresa’s repeat clients haven’t already raved about? Honestly, she’s great, and I’m just repeating what others have also experienced. First and foremost, she’s wonderful with the babies. We have a big, goofy Great Dane mix and a sweet, needy Bichon as well as an affectionate and demanding cat. She tended to all their needs and provided excellent communication throughout. Our home is a chaos zone (we’re in the middle of a cross-country move with a 5-month-old, and going from a huge newer house to a tiny older one, and the whole place is in flux) - but she navigated it all with ease, and was a tidy and conscientious guest. We definitely plan to have her back!
Theresa was wonderful with my anxiety ridden, older Italian Greyhound. She managed to get him to eat all of his meals (if he’s too nervous he won’t eat while we are gone) There was good communications with Theresa while we were gone. I’m very happy and would definitely have Theresa sit for us again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Duckwall walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Duckwall maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Duckwall choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
