About: I’ve been recommended to many by word of mouth, so I decided to bring my business to Rover as well! There’s nothing I love more than being able to provide comfort for your pets whenever you’re away. Me and your pets will go on walks, play dates, and anything else they enjoy! Be prepared for lots of photos of us enjoying our days together! I am working part time while doing a summer internship. Ideally, I am available for overnight stays, whether it be for the weekend or two weeks! I also have sitter backups for any extra care needed in which I’m not able to tend to. I’m currently in graduate school at Morehead State in Ky and will resume in-person classes in the middle of August. I haven’t dog sat in my own home before because I have 2 dogs and a pig of my own. Caring for your home and pets is what is most important to me! I will always be easy to reach, whether it be by phone, text, or FaceTime! I will also water your plants, pick up your mail, take out the trash, etc.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life—my family has always had dogs and cats, and we recently added chickens to the mix! I started dog sitting in high school and have continued caring for pets during my summers in college. In addition to caring for my own animals, I volunteer at the local dog shelter, foster cats, and stay active in various veterinary clinics. These experiences have made me confident handling animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering both oral and injectable medications and would be more than happy to care for pets with special needs! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet sitting, drop-in visits, or extended stays as needed. I’m more than happy to accommodate your schedule and work with your pet’s specific routine or care plan. Whether it’s administering medications, sticking to a particular feeding schedule, or giving extra time and patience to a shy or senior pet, I want to make the experience smooth and stress-free for both you and your pet. While housesitting, I will respect your space and follow your instructions closely to keep things familiar and comforting for your pet. I will make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment, and I keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. Your pet’s well-being means everything to me, and I treat each one like they’re my own!

“Thank you so much for your help this weekend, I greatly appreciated it!!”

About: We have a black lab beagal mix at our house and we have trained him and have taken him to training classes. I also am very flexible with the times I can walk that dogs. I can also run with the dogs with the client wants me to! With having a dog it is daily. We take our dog for walks most days unless it is raining or too hot out. We love him like he is our own kid :) I would not take a clients animal into our house. I would primarily walk them around the area to make sure they have been walked. If the client wants me to run with them as well I can do that too!

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I can remember. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I’m available all week to take care of furry Doggy, I will take them out for walks, parks, get them to run, play with ball I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company, feel safe. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life—cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. From playful Yorkies to gentle giants like Saint Bernards, I’ve loved and cared for them all. Whether your pet needs active playtime, like my GoldenDoodle or just some couch cuddles and company, like my Golden Retriever, I’ve got it covered. I’m confident, patient, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs and quirks. You can relax knowing your pet is in loving, experienced hands. I’m currently enrolled in college courses, having class Monday and Wednesday for a few short hours. I’m free most days/overnight, unless I have prior obligations and that’ll be updated in my calander weekly. I have a fenced in yard and 2 doggies who are the perfect mixture of playful/cuddle bugs. My dogs do not stay in a crate but if that’s what your pup is most comfortable with, then we can absolutely do that! I have someone to watch my dogs if I am staying in your home. So I would not bring them with me, unless your furry friend wants a buddy to play with.

About: My husband and I are animal lovers and enjoy getting to care for other people’s fur babies! We have two golden doodles who love making new friends, whether it’s for playtime at home or fun walks around the neighborhood. Our home is full of love, fun, and plenty of tail wags, and we can’t wait to welcome your pup—whether for a stay or a stroll! I work from home some days, so when I’m home, your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise throughout the day! Even on the days I’m not home full-time, my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate most needs for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. Whether your dog needs a fun playmate, regular potty breaks, or a stroll around the neighborhood, I’m here to make sure they’re well cared for! We have a spacious, fenced-in yard where your pup can safely run, play, and get their zoomies out! For added security, we also have crates available if your dog needs a safe space or if I need to step out for a short period. Our two golden doodles love making new friends and will help ensure your pup gets plenty of exercise and social time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I will always treat them like part of the family while they’re in my care!

About: Taken care of animals since I was a kid. I absolutely love animals. They need someone to stand up for them and a voice willing to protect them. I'm a Army Veteran who is looking to keep busy. Hi, im here to take care care and support your loved one. I know what it means to have an animal as part of your family. I can take care of your animal as I do with my 2 Chihuahuas , with care and love. They will be well taken care of. I'm here to provide the best care as possible

“Brooke is very professional and for being a stranger staying in our home it was quite easy to trust her. We have a seriously high energy doodle and an eight month old beagle mix and she did great with them. Her photos of the pets were a nice touch. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hi! My name is Hadyn (23yo) and I can’t wait to meet your furry family! After being a loyal pet sitter to very few for the better half of a decade, I’m looking to expand my clientele! I am currently available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I have always been surrounded by animals, and found them to be great company! These days my furry family includes 3 cats and 3 ferrets, along with my parents’ 3 dogs, cat, and snake (scaley fam). Due to this and my own personal passion, I have a wide variety of experience with dogs, cats, and small animals. I’ve worked with many different types of dogs and cats including seniors and those with special needs. I appreciate any specific and thorough instructions for how I can best support your pet. I also have experience administering oral medication. For the consideration of larger dogs, I must say I can only lift up to 50lbs. I strive for a holistic approach to an animal’s individual wellness emphasizing play (exercise & enrichment activities), a stress-free & loving environment, and nutrition. Though I am not a vet, I can offer advice based on my own knowledge and experiences working with pets in a personal and professional setting. For overnight stays in your home, upon request I can water plants, bring in mail, & take out the trash. I will be easily reachable by text or call, whichever you prefer, and will happily provide picture updates! Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you! :) I have pretty open availability! If I take an overnight visit, I will routinely check in on my own animals 2-3 times per day depending. 30 min visits at a time is all I need! I live in Catlettsburg, so wherever you are in the Tri-State shouldn’t be far! I offer dog walking, drop-ins and house sitting! This is for the comfort of my own cats. You can breathe easy knowing that I will do all I can to ensure a fun filled, comfortable, and safe experience for your pet. They will get a balance of playtime and love, all while following the feeding routines you’ve set for them! Additional instruction is encouraged to make sure they get everything they need & for any ground rules set in the home.

About: Hi, I’m Ellie, and I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly understand how much they mean to their families. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just giving them the love and attention they deserve, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and cared for while you’re away. As an active person, I love getting outside for walks (or runs!) and will tailor each outing to your pet’s needs. I’m also highly dependable, always arriving on time, and committed to making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend—let’s connect! As a first-year graduate student, my days are filled with studying and classes, but I always make time for what I love—caring for animals! My schedule is flexible throughout the week, making it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, or pet-sitting based on your needs. While weekends are usually reserved for studying or travel, my availability can vary depending on the week—so don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love to see how I can help take care of your pet while fitting seamlessly into both of our schedules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I provide personalized attention, including playtime, walks (or runs, if your pet enjoys them!), feeding, and plenty of love. Whether they need a high-energy outing or a relaxed visit, I tailor my care to their unique needs. If you're interested in a specific type of care, feel free to reach out :)

“Brooke is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of my crew while we were overseas. We got regular updates and pictures, medications were given correctly and without issue. When one of my dogs got sick near the end of the trip, she communicated well with me and helped coordinate to get her the care she needed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Shades did a fantastic job, my fur babies were very well taken care of . Shades kept I. Touch with me on how my babies were doing while I was on vacation. Thank you so much for going above and beyond taking care of them.”
