“Harley helped us out with a last minute request. She showed up on time and let the dogs out and played with them too. Updated us with photos and let us know how they were doing while we were away. She does a great job.”

About: I've been taking care of so many animal friends since high school. My first job was working for a veterinarian. I was the kennel caretaker, making sure everyone was fed and walked (for dogs) and played with and such. The "cat room" was always my favorite. I would make sure the kitties would all get attention. It was the highlight of my shift. And I continue to bring joy to the kitties and puppers (as well as myself) through my pet-sitting duties. Now that I am back in Fairmont, I am free with a decent amount of notice for most pet care needs. My schedule is extremely open and flexible--I just need enough time to secure transportation. At home, I have a sweet and needy tabby named Billy Porterhouse. He is very easy and likes to sleep and eat treats and "patrol" the house. My parents' dog Madde is a black lab who puts up with Billy, as best as she can. I have been a trusted sitter for my close friends back in NYC and have gotten close with their dogs and cats. Always respectful of their space and am trusted with multiple keys and key codes, as well as feeding and medication schedules.
About: I have cared for friends and families dogs often over a five year span! I am affectionate and patient and love to entertain with all kinds of pets! I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available in the evenings and the weekends and I’m not opposed to staying overnight to keep your fur baby company. I have reliable transportation, and I am friendly, and patient and have a huge heart for animals. My children are college age now and I have more time to on my hands and live animals so this was a natural fit!
About: I have such a love for animals. I speak to them at all times, even when they’re passing by with their humans and I just tell the animal to have a great day. They make me so very happy, and I love to make them happy. I have 2 cats of my own and 5 niece and nephew dogs I have cared for and spoiled rotten for many years. I don’t get tired of playing, feeding, singing, or walking animals. I have just left a very emotionally draining job, caring for elderly humans and ensuring their happiness is always met. Now I’m ready to start fresh and have free time to care for your (furry) loved ones and ensure they are happy and healthy. I am comfortable caring for pets however they (and you) are comfortable with our visits. Their wants and needs is what’s important to me, and I will do my best to do what is needed.
“Nikki is wonderful. She was my first Rover booking and made me feel at ease. I knew my cats were in good hands. She communicated well and sent pictures, which I enjoyed. Whether you are new to Rover or looking for someone new, I highly recommend Nikki.”


“Kandy was awesome with our girl. I loved that I could leave her with someone who is comfortable around big dogs. She was able to make responsible, in person decisions about her care that took a load off my mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: I genuinely enjoy looking after new doggos and experiencing different personalities and breeds. I've grown up with German Shepherds and Yorkies my entire life, so I'm ready for absolutely any size/breed dog you present to me. I have my own 7 year old Border Collie, Brady, who I've raised since 13 weeks old. I'm comfortable with puppy potty/play routines as well as senior doggies who need a little more special attention and individual care. I live in a cozy home with a fenced in yard, and plenty of space for pups to run around. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I’ve had plenty of close calls with Brady that have helped educate me in basic first aid for dogs, and I can promise you I will do my best to create a safe, supervised environment for your pup so you can feel confident in their healthy, happy return. I work from home full-time, and I will be home pretty much all the time to keep your pup company and make sure everyone’s well taken care of and entertained. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend comfortable. I also have an XL sized crate if your dog wants some alone time or a nested, quiet place to nap.

I allow my small dog on the furniture and in my bed. My big dog has a large bed that she loves. Lastly, I understand how much you will miss your pet while you’re gone so I’ll send daily pictures and updates.

About: I grew up with pets which sparked my love for caring for animals! I worked at a boarding kennel for 2 years and helped to keep spaces clean while caring for pets! I have a lot of experience with large and hard energy dogs aswell! I work a remote internship, so have a lot of flexibility and ability to be home often with your pets! I’m extremely active so love taking walks with pets! In my home, I like in an extremely clean apartment off campus with no smoking, other pets, or children! In clients’ homes I am home often and keep a clean environment!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs old and young for the last 5 years. The youngest was 5 weeks old! I love walking and playing with all dogs!! I also have two corgis of my own at home! I go to school until 1:00pm and 10:10am depending on the week but after that I am free to play with your pups, take them on walks or just watch them! During the weekends I am free the entire day! I can easily handle bigger dogs if needed while walking them or if they need to be crated. I am also comfortable cleaning up dogs messes around the house or on walks if needed.
About: I have been a pet mom for a long time. I have 3 dogs of my own but I am also able to help with snakes, hamsters, and cats. I currently work as a scribe for WVU medicine. My daughter and I are partners in our dog walking business so we will be able to meet your needs. Your pets will receive the love and care I’d give my own pets. I will take them for walks and give them plenty of cuddles and pets while you are away.
About: Animals have been a constant in my life and career for over a decade. I spent 5 years working in veterinary medicine, starting as a kennel attendant in a boarding facility and working my way up to a veterinary receptionist while continuing hands-on care with boarded pets. That experience gave me a strong foundation in animal health, behavior, and daily care routines. While still in vet med, and continuing after, I ran my own pet sitting and dog walking business for nearly 6 years. I cared for pets in their homes, built long-term relationships with clients, and managed everything from daily walks to extended stays. I stepped away due to a demanding work schedule, but caring for animals has always been where my heart is. I’m experienced with special needs pets, administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable), managing behavioral challenges, and following detailed care instructions. I’m comfortable with senior pets, high-energy breeds, shy or anxious animals, and multi-pet households. Currently, I work as a 911 dispatcher for the county, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and handle unexpected situations responsibly. Reliability, attention to detail, and safety are second nature to me. I’m excited to reconnect with what I’m most passionate about; providing dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care for your pets as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work 3–4 night shifts a week, which gives me several full days off dedicated entirely to pet care. On my workdays, I’m intentional about scheduling visits around my shifts so pets still receive consistent, reliable attention. Because I work nights, my daytime schedule is flexible. I take short rest breaks throughout the day, very much like your pets do lol, which allows me to stay energized while still being present and attentive during visits. I’m used to structuring my time carefully, and I prioritize reliability and routine so your pets feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s early morning drop-ins, mid-day visits, evening walks, or overnight care on my off days, I build my schedule around providing consistent, dependable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household preferences exactly as outlined. My goal is to maintain consistency so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I provide plenty of enrichment, affection, and supervision tailored to each animal’s personality, whether that’s high-energy playtime, structured walks, or calm companionship for more anxious or senior pets. I’m experienced with administering medications, monitoring for health or behavioral changes, and handling special needs with confidence and care. I also treat your home with respect. I keep things clean, secure, and organized, provide regular updates with photos, and communicate clearly so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities.

Absolutely recommend Tracey! Our dog, who can be slow to introduce, did so well with Tracey! She was responsive and shared lots of photos while she dropped in.
