“Alexis was a good sitter who took great care of our dogs and home while we were away. We are very appreciative that she was willing to drive an hour to come here. Would definitely choose her again!”


“Allysa was wonderful! She spent a weekend taking care of my dog and two cats and sent pictures of all 3 at least twice a day with very detailed updates. Two of them were on medication and she had no problems getting them to take their pills. I will definitely be booking with Allysa next time I need someone to watch my pets.”

“Absolutely wonderful!!! They took incredibly great care of my reactive dog who can also be an escape ninja! I didnt have to worry about a thing and they sent photos and updates and even helped make sure the house was cleaned and everything to come back to. I'm so grateful and definitely will be using Destiney and Ben as long as I live here. Thank you!!”

About: I have had dogs ever since I was little. Many times throughout my life I have taken care of my pets when my parents go out of town either on business of vacation and I love spending this one on one time with them. I currently have a labradoodle named Butler and his pup Wheezie. They are so energetic and love to play with one another. They love to sleep in the bed and enjoy snuggling as well. I am currently working in real estate full-time but most of my business is done from home. This also allows my schedule to be flexible for your benefit! There may be times where I will be gone if I have showings scheduled which will be done during the day, but these showings will depend on what is most convenient for my real estate clients. There is access to a large fenced-in area for all pets to roam and play. There can also be trips to the local dog park in Hurricane WV.
About: When I think of dogs & cats , I think of them as humans and part of my family. I have had animals all my life and treat them very well. I currently have a Maine Coon cat, named Charlie. Growing up, I walked the neighborhood dogs and helped take care of the neighbors cats also. I took care of dogs all breeds, sizes and personalities. I can do drop-in visits before work, on my lunch hour, and after work. I can also do over night visits if your pup loves company! 🐶💙 I do work full-time during the week, but I always run home on lunch ( 1 hour long) to let dogs out, eat, and run around. I have a large fenced in back yard to keep your fur babies happy while they are with me. When I am not home, I do keep them in the crate. If I am house sitting/doing drop in visits, I run out on lunch to guarantee they get let out 3 times a day.
“THE BEST! She took such good care of my 2 cats. She sent a lot of pictures and even checked in the day after to make sure I got home safe from my trip. I will 100% ask her to watch my cats whenever I go out of town :)”

As much as I love to snuggle the puppies I take care of I still make sure they have potty breaks as needed.

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. When I was in college I became the go to pet sitter to watch my friends and family pets for years. Because I am a bit of a stronger person, my friends know that I can handle some of their bigger dogs tugging on the leash. Also, with my beard, dogs think I am one of them. I am currently a remote worker and I can take as much time as I need to take care, play, walk, feed or whatever the client needs. Because I am a big lug myself, I allow pets to have fun and be happy loving animals. I give off alpha dog energy and dogs will understand the deep serious tone in my voice, but will also respect me after I give them lots of love and treats.
“Sophie did a fantastic job watching our pups while we were on vacation. She really went above and beyond to ensure our home and our fur babies were taken care of. We would gladly have her back anytime!”
About: From training horses to raising puppies and kittens, I’m well accustomed to the needs of nearly all animals. Not only do I bring all the qualifications, I also bring tons of love. I’m a full time registered emergency room nurse, I have 2 dogs of my own as well as a 5 year old son. I work 3 days a week so with my son being a new pre-k student, I spend the rest of my week at home. Another part-time job doing what I love is extremely beneficial. I leave any environment the way I found it. I base care and needs based off of my clients personal requests and/or goals. I’m kind and reliable as well as hard working and respectful.

About: I have had pets since i was born, ranging from hamsters and little spiders to horses and cows. i have also spent time working in a vet hospital, along with taking care of my father’s house and pets while he is gone. Every morning, I wake up and get ready so I can go let out my father’s dog and feed his macaw. I also collect his mail and I have been cleaning his house as days go by so that he will have something nice to come home to. I also come by later in the evening to let him out one more time before bed. I have a very friendly dog at home, and we live on a farm! So that means all the space to run! I often have treats for bribery and trust ;) I also own two bunnies, a hamster, as well as a jumping spider and a cat!!
About: I’ve mostly worked as an RN but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!
“She truly cares about our pets and provides them the best care while we’re gone! We never have to worry when we’re out of town. She goes above and beyond to accommodate us. We are lucky to have found her!”

About: I’ve taken care of my household dogs for 18 years. Sadly due to my father’s allergies I haven’t been able to have a cat. But have been around them in any chance I can get and have experience caring for them. I’m working part time but would love to make room for taking care of your pets. I also volunteer at St Mary’s but will do my best to fit your animal into my schedule. I can’t care for pets in my own home due to my family not wanting to be around pets at the moment. But I would love to branch out to other homes to care for your pets.
About: I am the biggest animal lover! Everyone I know has relied on me to take care of their beloved fur-babies and you guys should too! I am new to Rover, but not new to animal care! I have had animals my whole life and pride myself in giving the best care. I currently am a high school social studies teacher. As an animal lover, however, I am very much looking forward to incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I have had pets my whole life and can’t wait to meet your fur-babies! I live in an apartment with two cats—Princess and Lilly. I would be happy to provide in home boarding for your cats or drop in visits! My cats are a little indifferent on dogs, however, so it would take a meet and greet before deciding on boarding a dog! With that being said, I can do walks and drop ins before and after school and on weekends. I will be happy to help in whatever way I can!
Hometown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alec stayed with our 2 wild dogs and 2 cats for 5 days. Alec kept in contact with us for the entire stay and sent photos of all of our animals often. We came home to a clean house (as if we had just left) and our animals were safe, healthy, and happy! We will always book Alec!
