“Brittney did a fantastic job with our three cats. In addition, one of our cats has IBS and does not always use the litter box. Brittney cleaned all of it up and we came home to a clean home. I was grateful knowing our cats were taken care off while we were out of town. I highly recommend Brittany and can see why she has repeat clients.”


“Kristan is great and clearly cares about our two cats! She did everything we asked of her and our cats loved her, and they are normally very shy. We will definitely ask her to help us again!”


“So grateful to have Tomi watch our cat Sappho. Tomi gave us great pictures and updates and overall made us feel so confident that Sappho was happy and healthy while we were away.”


“Monica took great care of our fur babies while we were away. She was easy to contact and made sure that we were updated and sent pics during her visits. Thank you so much, Monica!”


“We loved working with Carlee and will definitely use her again! She took excellent care of our Minnie while we were away and gave the best updates so we knew exactly how miss Minnie was doing. Carlee was professional, thorough, and so kind! Thank you, Carlee!”


“Arianna was great, our fur babies loved her! She was great at communicating, sending photos and asking questions to make sure they had excellent care while we were away. We’ll definitely ask for her help again!”


“Paige is awesome! She took care of our cat, two guinea pigs and our fish while we were out of town. She was very responsive and we would trust her to take care of our pets again! Our pets are our babies so having her watch over them was such a relief! Thank you!”


About: I have raised puppies and cared for dogs. I owned 2 Belgian malinois and a German shepherd. I currently own a skepsky. I am good with big dogs. My shepsky is a very nervous dog so if you are someone who is worried about having a dog walker due to their puppy being scared I’m your girl. I am doing this on my days off from school. It is something to give me a break from studying and I really love animals. I clean my litter box daily at my own home and I ensure clean water and food for both of my cats. I am a clean person overall.

“Allysa was great! She even managed to work around a surprise issue when one of our shy cats decided he wanted to come out and be with her (a first)! She was great with communication and gave our guys plenty of attention and care. I would highly recommend!!!!”


About: I’ve had many dogs in my life. Right now, I’m the mom of a four year old chihuahua! I love to watch dogs for people as a fun side job/hobby. While I may be new to the app, I’ve done this my entire life. You will get the quality and trustworthy care your pet deserves. Give me a chance! You will get your moneys worth. I’m currently working part time, I don’t do much except work and spend time with my own pup lol. I basically have open availability to meet your schedule’s needs. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have two dog tents and a kennel. I have a safe, quiet apartment where your pet will feel relaxed and at home. There’s also plenty of room to run outside.

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: 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 had a dog that had a liver shunt and I kept him going with medication and good loving care. He lived to be 10 years old which my vet normally they don’t live past 5 years old. I am a retired banker and it’s always been my dream to be a pet sitter. I have some back issues so I would only be able to take care of small pets up to 20 pounds. Also I would prefer that the owner of the animal have a fenced in yard as I am not able to walk long distances. I prefer to keep your pet in the owners home where the animal feels more secure and safe. I am free to stay with your pet as long as needed.

About: I have lived in a household full of pets of all breeds and sizes. I am also the owner of a pitbull mastiff mix who is turning 3 in August I have also done pet care for as long as I can remember. I have always had large dogs including now. I’m also very experienced with cats and small cage pets The house is alway clean with access to food and water alway available. I topical take animals out every three to four hours, depending on the age.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I could not be more satisfied with how it went! Even though my kitty can be a bit skittish around strangers, Shenna was very patient and caring with her. And she went above and beyond - when I thought a possible broken A/C would cut short my vacation, she found the real issue and was able to get a temporary fix in place. Not having to cut my trip short and having peace of mind was alone worth using Rover! Loved the little care package she left for me for when I got home! ? Will gladly book with Shenna again on future trips if I can't take my cat with me.”


About: I grew up with a lab from the time I was one until I was 12 and moved to my dad's; I always had an active role in our happy dogs life. I own two cat's now, but help my mom care for foster dogs she takes in. She is currently fostering a 2 year old Chihuahua who we take turns driving to Davis Medical Center to under go therapy and receive lots of love! I recently relocated to Charleston and am currently looking for full time work, which may limit my schedule in the future. I am currently available full time for pet care appointments. I require in person meet and greets, at central or home sites prior to the first service. This ensures that the animal has gotten my scent and associated that with their pet parent providing cues that I am a safe person to be around. Additionally, I recommend that dogs be crated in the home if alone prior to service, but this is not required. For cats, I request a list of hiding places so I can do a daily head count even if the cat is very skiddish.

Gabrielle W.
“Gabi is one of the most kind-hearted, fun-spirited, animal lover that I have ever met. She goes above and beyond to care for her own animals that being her shepsky mix, Kai, and her two russian blue kitties, Anakin and Bellamyre. I have no doubt that she will care for your animal like one of her own. Her love for animals began when she was a kid, and it ranged from bears to the smallest little “potato bug” in the backyard. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to treat their pet just as well as they treat it!”

Cassidy S.
“I've known Cassidy for many years, first as co-workers in a pet food store, and then as friends. Cassidy has always been a huge dog lover and when we worked together, and she treated every dog customer as special and gave them and their owners her undivided attention. Cassidy has two wonderful rescue dogs of her own. She loves her dogs as if they were her children. I personally have 4 rescued dogs and I 100% trust her to care for mine as though they were her own. I highly recommend Cassidy as a pet caregiver.”
