“If you want your fur babies in the best hands while away, Becky is definitely your new go to! My dog Louie is always so excited to see her for his walks. It’s hard for me to trust people with my four legged baby but Becky is amazing and does such an amazing job with him. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi and thanks for stopping by! I'm a huge softie for all kinds of animals, having grown up with multiple dogs, cats, and rabbits in the house at all times. In my years of pet sitting for various friends, neighbors, and relatives, I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and horses (and the occasional few guppies:)). Working at a stable for four years in high school also gave me valuable experience in the care and handling of 20+ large animals at a time. I also have experience giving various oral and injected medications, so if your pet has any medical needs, I am comfortable administering them according to your instructions! I moved this year and sadly had to leave my furry friends with family since we cannot have pets in the place we are renting, so getting to take care of your animals would actually be so special to me! Spending time with some furry friends would absolutely make my day :) Whether it's play time, long walks, snuggles, or simply keeping them company, I strive to treat each and every pet as one of my own! As an online college student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and can work around your various needs. I can usually be available at short notice and spend considerable time with your furry friends or do frequent drop-in visits if needed! I am a very attentive and caring person, so I will respect your home and love your pets as if they are my own and follow all instructions to the very best of my ability!
“Wonderful! Great communication! Rachel provided details and photos of her time with my dog. She followed everything requested while following cues from my pet. Will book again!”
About: I have taken care of pets all my life. Family, friends, and colleagues. I love to serve all those around me and help to make their lives simpler and less stressful I am a graduate physical therapy student at Messiah University with a predictable class schedule. I am available most mornings, evenings, and lunchtime hours for dog walks or quick let out visits so your dog can get outside and stay comfortable. My current housing does not allow me to keep pets in my own home. However, I am available for overnight stays in your home to provide consistent care and support for your dog in their familiar environment.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pet while you’re away or busy. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, or simply some extra attention and company, I’ll make sure they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I would give my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you know your furry friend is in good hands! Pet care fits well into my schedule because I currently work part-time while attending college, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I’m able to plan walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work and class schedule. I also attend military drills on scheduled weekends, so I plan ahead and keep my Rover availability updated to make sure I only accept bookings when I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m organized and dependable when it comes to balancing my responsibilities, and I’ll always make sure your pet’s routine and needs are a priority while they’re in my care. Safety is always a priority when I’m caring for someone’s pet. During walks, I’ll make sure dogs are securely leashed before leaving the home and stay aware of traffic, other animals, weather conditions, and our surroundings. I’ll follow any instructions provided by the owner, including preferred walking routes and how their dog interacts with other people or animals. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure doors, gates, and any other entrances are properly secured so pets cannot accidentally get outside. I’ll also respect the owner’s home and follow their pet’s normal routine for feeding, medication, bathroom breaks, and playtime. If I notice anything unusual or have any concerns, I’ll contact the owner right away. I’m also happy to provide pictures and updates so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, bunnies,guinea pigs and cats. I have always wanted to care for animals as my career since I was little. I have experience caring for animals in a private setting and with a company. I am devoted to caring for pets as needed. As this will be my full-time job. My schedule is flexible around you and your pet needs. I will always put the animals safety first. I will be aware of my surroundings and communicate with the pet owner daily via text and pictures.
About: I have been caring for dogs since 2019, working with pets of various breeds, sizes, and ages. Over the years, I have provided reliable and attentive care for pets belonging to family members and close family friends. Throughout this I have gained hands-on experience with feeding routines, walks, and playtime. I enjoy staying active and going on walks, especially with a four-legged friend by my side! As a current law student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I’m also available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I have an open backyard at home that provides space for safe outdoor time. However, I’m also happy and prefer to provide care in your home, ensuring your pet stays in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure.
About: I have cared for many types of dogs, small, medium, and large, for over 20 years. I believe dogs need to be social, active, and allowed to live as though they are the most important being in one's household. I work from home, so there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor play in a fenced yard, leashed walks/runs to the neighborhood park nearby, and human companionship. Car rides to other parks and nature trails are an option as well. My fenced yard provides a safe environment for free play, roaming, and exploration. My home is also a free-range environment, and conducive to a safe and secure stay.
About: I've taken care or have owned dogs my entire life. Last August, we lost our best friend, Nala, too soon. She was a German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) and at the age of 5 was impacted by a very rare auto-immune disease especially for her breed. This was a tragic loss for my family and I and at this moment owning/adopting another dog would be hard. We don't want to ever experience that kind of pain. Having said that, we have so much love for animals and would be grateful to take care of your dog/cat as one of our own. Would prefer to pet sit in your home as we have 3 cats. However, boarding at our home is an option. It's mostly just my fiance Ashley and I living in the home as our adult boys are away at college. Please consider us for all of you pat care needs. Thank you! Working full-time but have a hybrid schedule. In the office 3 days a week but can be flexible. Available weekends and holidays for overnight boarding. I do not have a fenced in yard but there is a park nearby. I also walk/run several miles a day. We live in a 3-level condo with plenty of room for zoomies.
About: Ever since I was born, there has always been a cat or dog in my life. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet like family. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and building a special bond with them so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently searching for a full-time job, so my schedule is very flexible. In the meantime, I’ll be able to give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions you provide. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and doing well.
About: I'm most experienced with dogs and cats. That said, I am willing to look after any pet! I've always had dogs of my own, and I previously volunteered at a shelter which gave me added experience walking dogs of many breeds, ages, and temperaments. I am also familiar with giving medications (pills/capsules, eye ointments), crating, automatic feeders, and self-cleaning litter robots. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I am able to accommodate both weekday and weekend requests at nearly any time. Your pets, your home, your rules! The clearer instructions the better, and please be open to answer questions where needed. I promise to do my best in following your guidelines to protect your space and animals!
About: One of my favorite things about dogs is how each one is unique! I take the time to learn each dog's likes, dislikes, triggers, and quirks. I've been a dog-walking volunteer at Speranza Animal Rescue for over two years, where I walk dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm also a dog training nerd, and I'm always excited to share training and enrichment ideas with my clients. My own dog of 14 years struggled with reactivity, which sparked my passion for learning about dog behavior. I believe in the importance of building a relationship with each dog. I also have experience with senior dogs and giving medication. Whether your dog is a nervous nelly, a rambunctious rascal, or something in-between, I tailor each walk or drop-in to meet your dog's needs! Pet-sitting is my full-time gig, so I have plenty of flexibility around my standing dog-walking appointments! Contact me to find out if I have a time slot or availability that will work for you. :) I will keep your home tidy and neat when I visit, as if I haven't been there. I'm happy to refill food/water, bring in mail or packages, and crate or gate your pup if needed before I leave. Just let me know what you need!

Sophia was absolutely amazing, she took on taking care of our dog very last minute after our first sitter bailed last minute. She took lots of pictures and kept us up to date every single day while we were away. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Shepherdstown. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Shepherdstown.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shepherdstown. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
