About: Please message me to discuss discounts for long stays & multiple pets! Hello! My name’s Lexi, I’ve loved animals of all kinds (fur, feathers, and scales alike) my entire life. I do not currently own any four-legged family members of my own, but in the past I have owned dogs, cats (including exotic cat breeds such as Bengals), horses, hedgehogs, mice, and fish—and I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and go on an amazing walk together (or just snuggle up on the couch!) I have extensive experience caring for special needs pets such as senior, blind, and/or arthritic dogs and cats, shy pets, and the more unusual pets such as hedgehogs, fish, donkeys, and more. Additionally, I have years of experience house-sitting and will make sure not only that your home stays tidy, but that your pets are spoiled while you’re away. I am a mother to a 2 year old daughter. Boarding requests must be child-friendly pets! She is in daycare, but is home with me in the evening. I do not allow direct interaction with clients pets, but for everyone’s safety (your pets’ and ours!), any boarded pets must be safe with children. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the attention in the world, just like they deserve! I have a 2 year old daughter, who is in daycare during the daytime hours, Monday through Friday. I am occasionally available for drop-ins outside of those hours as long as it is scheduled and planned for in advance. I am available from 7am to 5pm, with some wiggle room for earlier or later drop-ins or walks. We have a 3 bedroom, 2 story townhouse with an unfenced backyard. The only child in the house is in daycare during the weekday, daytime hours, and can be kept away from clients pets when necessary! Otherwise, we have a very quiet, peaceful home, in a safe, cozy neighborhood that is perfect for walks. We have a full security system with cameras. I am happy to provide regular updates and pictures or videos of your fur baby throughout the sitting. I know how it feels to leave your beloved furry family members in the care of someone else, and want to ensure you feel kept up to date and informed about your pet’s day and wellbeing!
About: Grew up in Alaska always with a pack of dogs by my side. Have tended dog sled teams. Would love to work with your dog regardless of size, breed, or temperament. Available before 11am M-F and after 8pm M-F. Available most weekends and holidays. Reach out with your needs and I'm sure we can figure it out! Will work with your animal based on their specific needs in their own home. No two dogs are the same and I understand that proper animal husbandry cannot take a one size fits all approach.
About: I have taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors my whole life. I love playing with them and treating them as my own you can never get enough of those puppy eyes. Each day begins with a morning routine that includes feeding, providing fresh water, and a brief health check to ensure the pets are in good condition. This is followed by exercise sessions, such as walks or playtime, tailored to each pet's energy level and requirements. Throughout the day, I allocate specific times for additional activities like grooming, training, or socialization, depending on the pet's needs. I also maintain a detailed schedule to track feeding times, medication administration if necessary, and any special instructions provided by the pet owners. Weekly routines include more thorough cleaning of living spaces, restocking supplies, and reviewing any changes in the pet's behavior or health that may require adjustments in care. By maintaining open communication with pet owners, I ensure that their expectations are met and that their pets receive the highest standard of care. This organized approach allows me to balance pet care responsibilities effectively within my overall schedule. Before sitting, I always have a long conversation with the owners to find out everything their furry pet needs. then I make sure they have exercise or good food medication’s if needed if crate training is needed as well and more.

About: When I was a little kid my family owned 7 dogs at one time, now we only have one who’s a blue healer. We’ve fostered many and found them homes as well.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals since I was a child for my family and neighbors. My first pet sitting job was watching a cat and a rabbit for my neighbor. As an adult I’ve also had to care for injured dogs and cats. I love animals and want to enrich their lives within my abilities. On a daily basis I take Maggie out several times a day for walks and play sessions in our dog park. Combining my high energy with my love of animals and the outdoors made dog walking a natural choice for a new opportunity for me. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I am attentive, playful, accommodating, loving, and so much more. If you have a specific exercise or feeding schedule or ANY specifics that you want me to adhere to I am very detail oriented and happy to oblige.

About: I truly love animals and have been around them my entire life. I currently have dogs and cats of my own, so caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs patience, attention, and love. My home provides a safe and welcoming environment, including a fenced-in yard for dogs to play. My pets are friendly and accustomed to being around other animals. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and will provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable while they’re away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have multiple dogs and cats of my own. I work full-time during the day, but I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. Your pet will be treated like family and cared for in a loving home environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a clean, pet-friendly home with a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I currently have four friendly dogs and five cats who are well-socialized and used to being around other animals. I carefully monitor all pets, follow feeding and medication instructions, and provide a loving environment where they can feel safe, comfortable, and at home. If for any reason, you don’t feel comfortable with your animals being around mine, my dogs can go to my mother-in-law’s.

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 Elkins. 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 Elkins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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.
