Colleen was definitely a God send, she took excellent care of our Great Dane staying with him during our 7day vacation. She went above and beyond making sure to send us pictures to reassure us he was ok. Duke will definitely be seeing more of her.

Brenda was amazing with our toy poodle who has separation anxiety. I could tell right away her love for animals. He did so well with Brenda and I didn’t have to worry about him at all during our vacation, which I can only do with a choice few. She kept us up to date on how he and our cats were doing and gave us a full report when we got back. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend!

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.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals and truly love caring for them like they’re my own. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I fully understand the different needs, personalities, and routines that each pet requires. I’ve also cared for other small pets, and I’ve volunteered at local shelters, where I gained hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m skilled in feeding schedules, litter box and potty training, giving oral or topical medications, leash walking, basic commands, and helping anxious pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with shy cats and high-energy pups, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I also offer house sitting, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment while you’re away. Whether your cat loves quiet companionship or your dog needs lots of playtime, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care — and plenty of updates and photos so you feel at ease too. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are always my top priority. I have open availability, which means I can easily work around your schedule — whether you need early morning visits, evening walks, or extended house sitting. I’m happy to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping things clean, respectful, and as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, from feeding times and walking schedules to litter box cleaning or medication needs. I give pets lots of attention, love, and playtime — while also respecting their boundaries and any house rules. I’m mindful of the space I’m in — I clean up after myself and the pets, avoid restricted areas, and make sure everything is left just as I found it. Whether it’s watering plants, bringing in the mail, or sending regular photo updates, I’m happy to help however I can to give peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both your pets and your home are well cared for.

About: I treat each pet like my own—with patience, love, and a strong focus on their individual needs and routines. I'm reliable, communicative, and always make sure pet parents feel at ease while they're away. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, giving extra cuddles, or keeping you updated with photos and messages, I ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home. Dog sitting fits into my weekly schedule in a way that allows me to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I work full-time during the day, so I typically take on dog sitting jobs that align well with my availability—mornings before work, evenings, and weekends. During those times, I focus fully on making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, affection, and consistency. If your pup is comfortable with some alone time during the workday, I’m a great fit for overnight care or weekend stays. I provide a secure environment, closely supervising their activities, and following any specific care instructions from the owner. I ensure they have proper food, water, and exercise, avoid hazards like toxic plants or open gates, chocking hazards and stay alert to signs of illness or stress. Regular check-ins and maintaining up-to-date contact information also help in case of emergencies.

About: We got into pet care together because helping animals has always been a shared passion; it’s something that brought us closer and now it’s something we get to do side by side while helping our community 🥹 We currently foster for the Kanawha Charleston Shelter and another local rescue, help with TNR in our area, rehome strays, and love to spoil our own little crew of rescues! Over the years, we’ve cared for dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, reptiles, rabbits, rats, and even birds! We’re especially comfortable with pets who need a little extra patience, like shy rescues, semi-ferals, and senior animals! 🐕‍🦺 We have hands-on experience with: • Medications (oral, topical, injectable like insulin) • Anxious or reactive behavior • Special diets and tricky routines • Post-op and long-term medical needs • Livestock Friends! We're also active in the rescue world currently supporting fundraising, marketing, and networking for Krazie Ladies Animal Rescue, and jumping in when people in our community need help with lost pets or urgent rehoming! This isn’t just a side gig for us... it’s something we truly love doing together and would be happy to help you and your pets have a stress-free time! We both work from home, so our days naturally revolve around the animals we care for; ours and yours! That means we’re super flexible with visits throughout the day, whether it’s a quick morning potty break, midday meds, or evening playtime. Caring for animals is already part of our daily life. We foster and volunteer locally, so working around feeding schedules, quirky behaviors, and special routines is second nature. You can count on us to show up on time and treat your pets like they’re part of the family! Weekend availability included... just reach out and let’s chat about what you need! 📅 We kindly ask for 3 days' notice for all bookings and cancellations so we can plan our calendar and make sure we’re giving every pet the time and care they deserve 💛 When we’re in your home, we treat it with the same care and respect we’d want for our own! We always follow your instructions to the T; whether that’s feed times, locked doors or quirky pet routine... We will always keep your space clean, calm, and secure before we leave! We’re happy to work with homes that use security systems or indoor cameras, and we’ll always communicate clearly about access (keys, codes, etc.) so everyone feels comfortable! After each visit, you’ll get a photo or two and a quick update so you’re never left wondering how things went!! If your pets have any medical needs, special diets, triggers, or unique behaviors, we’ll ask about those ahead of time so we can handle everything confidently! We’ve worked with nervous pets, escape artists, and even semi-ferals... so nothing surprises us! We know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and into your pet’s routine, and we don’t take that lightly! ❤️

About: I am my mother’s daughter. She loved animals more than anyone. We rescued dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, chinchillas, ferrets and hampsters. Beyond rescuing, we helped care for friend’s and neighbors’s animals as needed. I am a real estate agent and therefore my schedule is very flexible. I am available for pet care most days and times. I walk daily and would love to have furry friend company. I currently do not have a pet in my home. I do not have a fenced in yard I do however I do have a park with a mile and a half loop right next door.

About: I’ve had many dogs in my life. Right now, I’m mom of a 4 year old dog and I’d love to watch dogs for people as a fun side job/hobby. Where I am new to the app, please give me a chance! I’m currently working part time, I don’t do much except work and spend time with my own pup lol. I have basically almost open availability. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a two dog tents and a kennel. My pup will often entertain your dog. Most of the time puppy gets along with most dogs, but sometimes he doesn’t.

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own. They will get a lot of attention because I focus on them to learn their behavior, quirks and what they try to relay to me; I’m always watching and listening to them. Many clients have told me they tell their pets that I will be coming and they get super excited. I’ve been told they see a difference in them when I do a drop in visit to break up their day. I will also send you pictures of your adorable baby. Your pet will thank you for having me take care of them. My job is to make them happy and Content, I will do everything in all my abilities to do just that! Pet sitting is my full time job. Sometimes it feels as if I work 24 hrs a day. I wouldn’t change a thing, I love taking care of all the fur babies, giving them lots of love, pets, kisses and hugs (if they like it) Doors are never opened without making sure they are secure and on leash. I’m very detailed in their care and their safety at all times.

I've got a somewhat chaotic household—one energetic dog and two very opinionated cats. Jade did a fantastic job keeping everything running smoothly while I was out of town for a few days. She followed my instructions perfectly, gave my dog plenty of exercise and attention, and somehow managed to keep the cats from staging a rebellion while I was gone. I got photo updates every day, which was a nice touch, and she even took care of the litter box without me having to remind her. When I got home, the pets were calm, fed, and clearly comfortable—which says a lot, because one of my cats is famously picky about strangers. I’ll definitely be booking with her again next time I travel. Highly recommended for multi-pet households.

Beyond rescuing, we helped care for friend’s and neighbors’s animals as needed. I am a real estate agent and therefore my schedule is very flexible. I am available for pet care most days and times. I walk daily and would love to have furry friend company. I currently do not have a pet in my home. I do not have a fenced in yard I do however I do have a park with a mile and a half loop right next door.

This is the first time i have left Daisy with someone that was not family. Morgan left me with zero worries! She sent several videos and texted me updates. I would not hesitate to use her again. I have a large Mastiff and she called her a cuddle bug ??.

Lena was amazing! She sent us a picture of our animals, and videos of her playing with the dog! This was our first time using Rover and we felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. We will definitely use Lena again in the future!

About: I’ve had many dogs in my life. Right now, I’m mom of a 4 year old dog and I’d love to watch dogs for people as a fun side job/hobby. Where I am new to the app, please give me a chance! I’m currently working part time, I don’t do much except work and spend time with my own pup lol. I have basically almost open availability. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a two dog tents and a kennel. My pup will often entertain your dog. Most of the time puppy gets along with most dogs, but sometimes he doesn’t.

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own. They will get a lot of attention because I focus on them to learn their behavior, quirks and what they try to relay to me; I’m always watching and listening to them. Many clients have told me they tell their pets that I will be coming and they get super excited. I’ve been told they see a difference in them when I do a drop in visit to break up their day. I will also send you pictures of your adorable baby. Your pet will thank you for having me take care of them. My job is to make them happy and Content, I will do everything in all my abilities to do just that! Pet sitting is my full time job. Sometimes it feels as if I work 24 hrs a day. I wouldn’t change a thing, I love taking care of all the fur babies, giving them lots of love, pets, kisses and hugs (if they like it) Doors are never opened without making sure they are secure and on leash. I’m very detailed in their care and their safety at all times.

Brenda is such a sweet and kind lady. She has the perfect yard for the fur babies. I trust her judgment completely! It is clear how much she loves animals and I am so lucky to have found her! Rasher had such a good time with her he didn’t want to come home with me. 10/10 highly recommend! Thank you Brenda. ♥️
