About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.

“Absolutely amazing with my babies. I will have Leslie in the future.”

About: Having grown up with pets my entire life (from pigs and peacocks to dogs and guinea pigs), I understand the importance of providing great care to all furry friends. I have two dogs of my own, a 4 year old lab and 7 year old Cavapoo. I am happy to provide play time, snuggle time, walks, and medication (if necessary) for puppies to senior dogs. I know leaving your fur baby in the care of someone else can be stressful, so I try to alleviate that stress by being responsive, providing updates, and loving on your pet while you are away. **please note, I do not provide care for aggressive dogs. Thank you for understanding!!! I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I work part time from home, and am able to provide walks, play time, and couch time if you have a snuggler. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs. For them, we enjoy nightly walks, afternoon fetch, and morning treats. If you board in our home, your pet must be dog and kid friendly. At your home, I can provide play time, walks, and tons of love and affection.

About: Hi, I'm Autumn. I am currently working as a therapist during the week, but I like to keep busy during my off time, and I also have the biggest heart for pets. I have 5 furbabies (4 cats, 1 pup) of my own that I love to call my zoo. Every animal I meet and take care of has been treated as if they were my own.. SPOILED! As a full-time therapist during the week, I cherish my weekends as a time to recharge—and nothing makes me happier than spending that time with animals! I’m available for dedicated, unhurried care on weekends, giving your pets my full attention and plenty of love. I love giving pets plenty of exercise, whether it’s long walks, playtime, or helping them burn off those zoomies! I always ensure a safe and supervised environment, respecting each pet’s needs and comfort, so owners can trust their furry friends are happy, secure, and well-cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had a dog in my life, taking care of them was my main priority in my house! Making sure they ate, went on walks & bathed. I am currently unemployed since I just had my baby. So I have all the time in the world to make sure your furry loved one is taken care of! I have a very friendly dog who loves to play & a big back yard where they can run & play. At your house I will let them also get out & enjoy their time outside as well as inside. Will make sure they are bathed & fed & taken out when needed to.

“Kourtney was friendly, on time, and communicative. We will definitely use her again for walks!”

About: I’m very caring and attentive to all animals and I am here to look after and play with them when you are unavailable. I have plenty of experience watching dogs, cats, and even reptiles on several different occasions for a few years now and I will never get tired of meeting new ones! I have a passionate love for animals and believe they deserve the best care possible. I’ve been looking for a job and came to the conclusion this is the best for me. Getting paid to care and tend to animals and even just hanging and chilling with them doesn’t even seem like a job to me but more like a fun time. As of right now, I have all the time in the world to look after pets and be their friend. Contact me whenever you need me! :) I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood. I do not have a fence but and perfectly fine taking dogs out on the leash for the bathroom or just for a walk. If you have any special requests or advice when you need me to look after them I am all ears and waiting for the details.

“Amber was great. She communicated everything clearly, asked great questions and she and Winnie bonded immediately. I highly recommend Amber for dog walking!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I look out for them. I believe exercise is critical. I care about their comfort and nutrition, including constant fresh water! I like to have notes on personalities and habits of the dogs I care for so as to help the animal feel comfortable. I prefer dogs that have been crate trained or trained for healthy habits. A crate is a necessary tool and a dog should feel safe in a crate. If I need to step out for any reason, your dog will be put in a crate for their safety (or your preferred method). Favorite toys and bedding is encouraged. Please know that your dog is safe and cared for while in my supervision. I'm home most of the day with the exception of a few hours(3-3 1/2) so, your dog will have my attention and care! Besides, all dogs need naps, right? :-) Holiday rates will apply to all of my services. Mostly retired. Why not use my time to care for wonderful animals? I currently have 3 cats. My dogs are gone but not forgotten, r.i.p. ♥ I have a fenced yard and a cat-tio. Safety is utmost important to me while caring for animals. Trust me, I care immensely. No worries.

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, owner and founder of RogiBear Pet Sitting Services. I am lifelong animal lover with a passion for providing top-notch care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals—both my own and those of friends, family, and clients. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. I’m also comfortable with administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and following any specific routines or training methods you have in place. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I strive to offer peace of mind through constant communication, photo updates, and personalized care. Let’s meet and see if I’m the right fit for your pet’s needs—I’d love to help keep their tail wagging (or purr going) while you’re away! I can offer same day care but please reach out to me first. I work part-time in the mornings on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which means I’ve got lots of free time to hang out with your pets! Whether they need a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m around and happy to help. With a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas during walks, and closely monitor each pet’s behavior and comfort level. Whether it’s keeping an eye on the weather or double-checking gates and doors, I make sure every pet stays safe and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I communicate clearly and promptly with pet parents, provide updates with photos, and follow all care instructions to the letter. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being. I care deeply about the environment and try to minimize my impact during walks and visits. I always clean up after pets, properly dispose of waste, and reuse supplies when safe and appropriate. I also support local parks and green spaces so pets can enjoy clean, healthy environments for their adventures.

About: I have been animal sitting for almost 9 years now, starting when I was in high school. I have experience in animal care for multiple species, energy levels, behaviors, ages, and health needs. No task is too big for me, my biggest job was being a sitter for a family of 10 dogs, and a pig! I worked at a nonprofit animal rescue where I learned more about how to care for cats and dogs, and how to gauge their personalities, and energy levels. I am passionate about animal happiness and satisfaction. Right now, I am completely free. I have a car and a valid drivers license. I just moved back home after hiking for 4 months on the Appalachian trail, while walking I had lots of time to think about my passions, and of those are animal welfare, care, and personally staying active and fit! I have two personal dogs, one of which is a senior in hospice care, out of respect for him, I am not taking animals into my home right now. However, any type of drop-ins or house-sitting is on the table. I take direction seriously and can provide medical care, activity, play, feeding, or anything else that is needed for your beloved animal!

About: My family has always had a dog. I currently have a 5 year old Spaniel mix named Everest. I would to spend some of my extra time taking care of your fur babies. I also have a Russian Tortoise named Jack! I am looking to make some extra money on my 4 days off from my full time job. If it goes well I might switch to full time. I do live in an apartment but I am close to a beautiful dog park. I walk my dog regularly and we visit the dog park often.

About: I've always been around animals. Whether it was family pets or animals I showed in FFA, I've always had animals near and dear to my heart. Currently I'm working part time and have lots of time to devote to your fur babies. I'm available for house sitting, drop in visits, or dog walking (they can help me get my 10,000 steps in) I understand all things routine involving fur babies, I can walk them when needed, play and take care of them so you have peace of mind while you're out.

About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.

About: My appreciation and respect for animals started when 1 day my extended family came home with the cutest Pomeranians who then had puppies and then those puppies had pups! They became family and we would babysit each other's fur baby. I loved having a dog because I love being outdoors, running, and exploring. I'm looking forward to making new memories and exploring more beaten paths with your fur baby :) I appreciate all animals, that being said, I've enjoyed the company of some adorable cats. My approach is to give them space and let them come to me when they please. My baby boy, Simba is 7 years old, he is baby friendly, and protective of my girls around strangers, he adores my daughters! He sleeps next to them every night and during the day he follows them around and enjoys watching them play. I love how each animal has a unique personality and you can be sure that I will be attentive to those traits so ensure the best possible care and love for them. I have a flexible schedule working from home for our local family owned Coffee Business. I am happy to accommodate my schedule to your baby’s needs. Life Happens and when you need someone to trust, that’s where I like to fill that need. I am a caregiver at heart and treat every living creature with respect and quality care. I prefer to care for pets in their homes, so they are more comfortable and less anxious. Also, I reside in a small apartment that's not compatible to care for animals besides my 1 cat. In each client's home I am respectful of belongings and careful to keep everything as clean as possible when serving pet's food and water. I'm comfortable changing litter boxes, picking up after dog's stools and discarding appropriately. I am comfortable administering pet's medications as well. I'm more than happy to give your pet an appropriate amount of affection and love because I'm sure they are anxious to see their parents soon. Pets are like family members and will be treated as such, under my care.
