House Sitting in McGintytown

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and currently share my home with three dogs and three cats of my own. Animals have always been central to my life, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. In addition to lifelong pet ownership, I have extensive experience in dog rescue. At one point I was actively caring for and rehabilitating 14 dogs at once, working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience taught me patience, strong observation skills, and how to quickly recognize changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable caring for pets at every life stage — energetic puppies and kittens, adult animals with established routines, and seniors who need extra time and compassion. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets, including administering medications, maintaining detailed care schedules, and assisting animals with mobility challenges. Most recently, I cared for a senior pit bull with hind-end weakness who required lifting assistance to stand and walk, along with consistent medication management. Providing calm, steady support for pets who need extra help is something I truly enjoy. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine familiar and low-stress while providing dependable care, lots of affection, and clear communication so you always know how things are going at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a work-from-home contractor, which allows me a very flexible schedule and makes it easy to adapt my day around pet care needs. Because I’m home much of the time, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure feeding times, walks, medication schedules, and companionship needs are met without disruption. Whether it’s short visits, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize your pet’s comfort and consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment as closely as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific behavioral or medical guidelines. I approach each home with respect and responsibility, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I understand the importance of trust when someone is caring for both your pets and your space, and I communicate regularly so you always know how things are going. With experience caring for animals of all ages—including rescues, seniors, and pets with special medical needs—I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of care is required. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care so your pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for in your absence.

About: Throughout my life, my family has owned 4 dogs, and many of my friends own dogs that I spend a lot of time with. I currently have two dogs, as well as a few bonus neighborhood dogs, that I love both playing and relaxing with. I often am responsible for feeding, letting out, and cleaning up after my family dogs. I am a recent college graduate with no set job or schedule yet, so I'm very flexible! Presently, most of my work is gig work, so it is very easy for me to run by your house on my way to or from those gigs. I aim to give your pet as much of a sense of normalcy as I can! Whether they like to wrestle outside or sit together in silence, I want to give them whatever they need in the moment. I like to leave a space how I found it, so if they need any feeding or make any messes, I will clean up being myself or them.

“Sarah S. was fantastic! She showed up on time and immediately held our toy poodle mix who gravitated to her right away. She listened to his care instructions and did what we asked while we were gone. When I would text her to check on him, she quickly replied also sending photos of him. He stresses very easily but he didn't feel a moment of stress with Sarah! If we ever need a pet sitter again we won't hesitate to contact her.”

“Great sitter! She was so friendly and really loved on our pups! I’d rebook her for sure!”

“Thanks again, Kamri!”

“Chloe’ was such a lifesaver!! My dogs usually go to a doggie daycare/boarding facility but they were full the day I needed some help. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous but Chloe’ came over the day before to meet my 2 dogs. They absolutely loved her! I always give an heads up to anyone taking care of them because they can be very excited, over reactive, and very playful. I needed her to be at my house the next morning at 05:30 am and she was there by 05:25 am. My husband was home by 6.00 pm and the dogs seemed to be happy and well taken care of.”

Jessica B.

“Faith took such great care with our fur baby. Thankful to have her to step in when we can’t be there. Piper was so comfortable with Faith which made us not being there easier on her. We look forward to many more trips, knowing that Faith will step in and take care of everything! Thank you Faith for an exceptional job and the love and care you gave! Its very much appreciated!”

About: I have been house and animal sitting for my family and family friends since I was 15! I love to go on walks and be outside in nature, and would love to take your animals with me! I love animals of any and all kinds, but I have a soft spot for rescues and senior dogs. My experience includes over night stays, day time visits, and longer periods of care. I work part time at Hendrix College! I only work on weekends days, so I am completely free on the weekends! I am done with work at 2pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, and 4pm Wednesday-Friday! In client’s homes I care for pets by taking them outside to use the bathroom as required, if not more. I also spend ample time playing with them and making sure they get all of their energy out! If they are allowed, I am happy to allow animals into the bed for cuddles at night! I love to love on animals!

About: Currently a dog owner of 4. One of my babies has seizures so I am experienced with administering meds whether they are liquid, pill form, shot and ones that need to be given on a schedule. A true animal lover. I work full time 8-5. I am able to leave during lunch to let out furry friends or go for a quick walk. I would never leave them home alone more than 4 hours if that’s what is requested. We walk every morning and night as well. At home I work on whatever the client wants. If they aren’t allowed on furniture and such It will stay that way. I want you to come home and have It feel like you never left.

“Katie H. sent only relevant messages, arrived on time and was gracious above and beyond expectations. I first booked two dogs, Mandy and Clarice. At the last minute she agreed to my adding a third dog, Winnie. Clarice was old, was diabetic and was not friendly due to her condition. Mandy was a normal, active 3-year old and Winnie was a 5-month old puppy. Katie sent us a couple of photos, and all three dogs were perfectly calm when we arrived after our event. This was my first experience with Rover.com, and I am truly impressed thanks to Katie.”

About: I’m not sure if I have more or less skills but I’ll always try. I have tons of patience and care for animals so even if my skills are the best I think I’ll do great. My schedule is pretty scattered but I love animals so I’ll definitely make time for them. College is really get to me so I need the money and getting to play w animals is such a bonus. I will treat them like they are my own. I will show them the respect they deserve even though they are animals. They have feelings too.

“Patty was amazing with Mayhem. She made her feel loved and gave her the reassurance she needed while Momma was gone. I will definitely use Patty in the future!”

Shannon T.

“Renee was an amazing find! So helpful and flexible with my last minute travel plans. Was amazing with my special doggies, made them comfortable enough in her home for them to settle right in (which is not typical 1st day behavior for them). Thanks so much! 🤗💝🎉🐶🦮”

Heather B.

“She did a fantastic job with our pups. She was flexible and very communicative!”

About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.
