“Cadence was amazing! My husband had a last minute operation. I have two small toddlers and one on the way . I needed someone to care for hotdog for a couple of days so I could be by my husband’s side. She took hotdog in and treated her like she was family ! She sent daily videos and photos which really helped during a difficult time !”


“Stephanie and her family are wonderful with Luna. She always sends me sweet photos and Luna, who can be scared of new places, is always happy to be there. She recognizes the street and when we pull up is always excited. They also have a large fenced yard which is a big perk.”


“Brenda is so good with my puppy scout. She always gives him personal attention and make sure that he is safe and comfortable when I am away. I will continue to have scout stay with her when I am gone for this reason.”


“Melissa took care of my pup for a week, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was friendly and easy to communicate with. I could tell right away that she really loves animals. Every day, she sent me the cutest pictures and videos, which made me feel so relaxed knowing my dog was happy, safe, and having a blast. It felt like he got treated just like one of her own — lots of love, attention, and playtime. When I picked him up, he was so calm and clearly had an awesome time with her. And as a sweet bonus, she even gave me the cutest little gift when I came to get him. I’d highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks so much, Melissa!”


“Jill was fantastic! She was able to help us in a unique situation and kept our rescue safe healthy and happy. She was great at communicating and sent us updates while we were away. Would book her again”


“I’ve booked with Charlene twice now and my dog enjoys staying there and playing with her dog. No issues and she is able to respond promptly when available. Will book again in the future.”


“She was amazing with my dog. He had the best time and she kept me up to date with pictures and how was doing each day. They were even very accommodating when I was running 30 minutes late as well. I would absolutely book with her again if she is available.”


“Cliffton is a polite, attentive and respectful guy who did a great job pet sitting our cat in his house. He was very easy to communicate with and he kept us informed with pictures and messages. We will not hesitate to use his services again.”


“Patti has taken care of our two fur babies twice now and we are very happy with her services. Our boys seem to really like Patti and they seem to enjoy their visits. From the pictures Patti sent us while watching our boys, the yard and patio seem perfect for small dogs without the worry of their escape. Believe me our Yorkie is an escape artist and staying with Patti we have no worries. We look forward to our next trip and booking our boy’s stay with Patti. Lynn & Denny Harley & Matey”


“Bianca is my go to to watch my pup. Bianca and her family spoil my dog and give her love all the time. They have been a blessing as a resource. She will provide excellent care to your dog or cat!!”


“Thank you Pat for being such a great pet sitter for Chance. Pat shared pictures daily and messaged me about how he was doing. She took him for walks multiple times that he absolutely loves. Since he is a senior, I have a strict diet schedule for him and she was so good about following it. Chance seemed so happy with her. I’m looking forward to having Chance stay with Pat again when I have to be out of town soon.”



“Zoey is always taken great care of when we leave her with Rhonda. She is so happy and playful and we feel very comfortable leaving her there. She loves being able to run and play in the yard and gets lots of loving. Thanks again Rhonda!”


“She was amazing!!! She's was very sweet, kind, loving & knowledgeable about fur babies!!! We learned a lot from her as well. ❤️ And she sent us some cute pictures of our baby girl while we were on vacation. We appreciate everything & we will most definitely be booking with Alexia again!!! Thx 😊”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have four large dogs – three of my own and one foster. I also volunteer with local animal rescues and spend many Fridays at the Dog Pound, giving all the animals love, walks, vaccinations, and sometimes even a trip to my home (I’m always joking that I’m one dog away from a divorce – but he knew what he was getting into!) Joining the Rover community lets me share my passion for caring with other pet owners. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’m here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ll make sure they’re happy, well cared for, and keep you updated with plenty of pictures to give you peace of mind! I’m currently staying home with my babies so I will have plenty of time to love yours! Don’t be afraid to ask about my schedule! I have a full fenced in yard. Two of my dogs are inside. One roams freely during the day with a doggy door to the outside fenced in yard. One is kenneled during the day. Both are kenneled at night. One is outside full time (unless it’s freezing cold and I have to force him inside). I also have one large kennel outside where my foster dog stays most of the time. All dogs are up to date on vaccines and receive monthly flea tick and heart guard meds. As for your home, I’m up for a meet and greet depending on what you need!

“Devin & Alexis were able to accommodate us on super short notice. They were great at communicating with us and took great care of our Rosie! Would definitely book again!”


About: I have more than a decade experience caring for pets from puppy to senior. I'm comfortable administering medication and can make accomodations for maximum comfort. My home sits on the Coal River and provides a serene setting for your pup's stay. I'm currently working part-time which allows me the availability to play with your pup and take for walks. Booking three days in advance is preferred. When I'm away, the dogs have plenty of toys for play and soft places to nap while doggy TV is on. I have a good sized fenced yard and pet friendly sunroom and family room and two friendly dogs that can play with your pup! We have a gravity water bowl and can follow any special feeding instructions. There are two cats in the home. There is a self-service dog wash in town we can use if ever needed in a muddy situation and you feel comfortable with me transporting your dog in my car.

“Brandi was amazing with Jersey. He felt right at home and was a part of the pack immediately. She sent me pupdates with videos and pics of him being the best boy he can be. I will definitely trust her again to give Jersey a home away from home.”


About: I am emergency room nurse looking for something little more relaxed. I use to travel and I am looking to do pet sitting and walking as part time thing. I have four animals in my home at this time, 3 cats and 1 dog. I’m currently working part time in the emergency room. I am looking to grow in passion I have as taking care of animals. I would only be taking care of your pets on days I don’t have other obligations. As I hope this grows maybe I could increase my availability I have a fenced in yard in Saint Albans. There is outdoor cameras in my yard as long as my main living space in my home.

Matthew T.
“In everything Matthew does, he loves with his whole heart. This is no different with the way he loves animals. He has been around animals his whole life and he made it a personal goal to adopt when he knew he was ready to become a pet 'parent'. His love and energy for his cat Winnie and his dog Max is contagious and so sweet. Anyone in the room with Matthew and his animals can tell his love and can't help but have a smile on their face watching their interactions.”
