“April and her family took great care of our dog Tulip while we were at a family reunion at Deep Creek Lake. They sent pictures and communicated quickly when we needed to. We felt confident that Tulip was well cared for and we will try to have Tulip stay with them again if we are up this way. They are just a really nice family.”

“We are extremely pleased with the care Hailey provided for my dog, Milo. She was attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Milo seemed happy and well-looked after when I picked him up. Hailey kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. The place was clean, and Milo had plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend Hailey for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

About: Of taking care of cats for the last 35 years. I currently have five rescues that live like Queens and a king. I love them as much as I love my children and make sure they have everything they need or want. My home looks like a daycare with two TVs that they can interact with while watching cat videos and numerous toys Beddies blankies and whatever else they're little hearts desire. I don't consider myself to be watching your pet but watching a loved one. To truly tell you how much I care for these animals if they are on the couch or in my actual bed in my spot I will sleep elsewhere so I don't disturb any of them.

“Thea is an amazing pet sitter and person! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is completely cared for and comfortable. We’ve found our sitter and won’t hesitate to use her again and again!!”

About: Cats aren’t just something I love, they’re a huge part of my life! My experience includes working in animal sheltering and adoption, managing cat care, fostering, TNR, socializing shy and fearful cats, caring for kittens, and working with cats with medical and special needs. I’m also the founder of a nonprofit cat rescue and TNR organization, so I’ve cared for just about every type of feline personality, from the confident attention-seeker to the spicy kitty who would prefer I admire them from across the room. What sets me apart is my ability to read cats and meet them where they are. I understand feline body language, stress signals, enrichment, medication routines, and the importance of keeping a cat’s normal routine as consistent as possible while their person is away. During visits, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention based on their comfort level. For social cats, that can mean playtime, pets, brushing, treats, and lots of conversation. For shy cats, I’m happy to sit quietly and give them time to decide when they’re ready to interact. I never force attention. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, compassionate, and probably a little cat obsessed. I know how stressful it can be to leave your cats in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for by someone who will notice the little things.

“We are SO glad we had Jessica’s help! She was great with communication, price, and made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommend her!!!”

About: I was a professional pet photographer for many years, and I have worked at a luxury pet resort. I started accepting Rover bookings in June of 2025. I am currently only doing drop-ins while I update my home in Cranesville. I can travel outside of the Deep Creek - Alpine Lake area for an additional fee. I will meet with your pets at your home, where they are most comfortable. I would strongly prefer to meet your furbabies in advance, but can work with you if they are accustomed to being cared for by strangers.

About: I currently have 7 rescue cats of my own. I have been in the animal care field for 15 years. I have been the no-fear cat handling go to for many animal clinics that I have worked for. I have done in-house veterinary appointments in the past and am comfortable going into a cat’s environment and adapting.

“Amanda was great! She provided us with detailed updates, photos, and her communication was top notch. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Stacy is fantastic. My dog Louie is a bit codependent, and is usually nervous when we leave. Stacy gave him the attention he needed. He had a great time.”

Carolyn R.

“Jessica watched West last minute on a holiday, and the whole experience was great. She was quick to reply, pickoff and drop-off was seamless, and the updates showed West was happy and having a good time. We would definitely recommend Jessica!”

About: New to Rover, but not new to dog sitting :) I have several years of experience taking care of dogs, of all ages & breeds! I moved from Maine to WV and now have the time to be a dog sitter again! My overall love for animals and the ability to connect with them, makes me a safe and reliable sitter for your pup :) We have two open acres of grass for your dog to run around and play and a large tile floor sun room (with AC) for them to stay. My Great Dane stays in the sunroom in a playpen when she isn’t playing with chipmunks outside! If you prefer your dog to be on leash when outside-no problem! I can accommodate to your dogs’ needs! I have a 9 yr old female Great Dane who is real sweet & fully trained to my commands. She stays in a playpen in the AC, tiled sunroom with your pup. Your pup will have the one-on-one care that he/she needs while you are away. Fresh water will always be present :) My main goal is to keep every dog I care for safe & happy!

“Jessica and her husband were amazing with Lavender and were very responsive! The doggy daycare request was very short notice, but she worked with me and Lavender got to have a great time with other puppies! I will be using their services again!”

“Thea was on time and a great communicator. Would recommend!”

About: Dogs love me, and yours will too. Comfort, play, walks, and stays, care for your fluffy friend when you can't be there. Best with small to medium dogs in my location. Available for any size dog for walks, visits or off site stays. Additional experience with nervous and easily stressed, or startled dogs, always willing to make them feel safe, sitting with them and more. Long term experience with lots of different breeds and sizes, from large to miniature and anywhere between. Porch has two steps. I can change my schedule to accommodate some requests. We lost our little Mr Ham in 2025 at the age of 14. We no longer have any dogs in our home. So lots of room for boarding. We are searching for another mini-dachshund puppy to join our family. I can provide my own leash, bags, collar and more just ask. Prefer boarding here, but can make arrangements for other requirments. I need some advanced notice, although some same day requests may be possible to handle. I have an unfenced yard, however walks are easy around the house or around the neighborhood. Lots of attention avaliable. We lost our little Mr Ham in the summer of 2025 at the age of 14. We no longer have a dog in our house, so there is lots of room for bording. We are still looking for a mini-dachshind puppy to join our family.

About: I’ve dog-sat for multiple families throughout the years, as well as 1 year work-experience at an animal boarding/doggy daycare. (I also nannied for two kids for three years) I have reliable transportation and an open schedule. At this stage, I have significant flexibility in my weekly schedule, which makes pet care a great fit. I am available to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I value being dependable and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I currently live with my Mom and Step-Dad in a small home with some land. We have a large fenced-in yard for our dogs to play in as well as a catio for our cats to lounge in.

About: Hi! I’m Ashley, a lifelong animal lover with over 11 years of professional animal welfare and rescue experience. Cats are a huge part of my life, but I also have experience caring for dogs and understand how to read their body language, recognize stress, and earn their trust. My background includes animal sheltering and adoption, fostering, TNR, socializing shy and fearful animals, caring for kittens and puppies, and working with pets with medical and special needs. I’m also the founder of a nonprofit cat rescue and TNR organization, so I’ve cared for just about every feline personality, from confident attention-seekers to spicy kitties who prefer their space. I’m experienced with feline and canine body language, medication routines, enrichment, and keeping pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I always move at their pace and never force interaction. During visits, I’ll provide fresh food and water, litter box care or potty breaks, and plenty of attention based on your pet’s comfort level. That may include playtime, walks, pets, brushing, treats, or simply sitting quietly with a shy pet. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and compassionate, and I pay attention to the little things. You can also expect plenty of updates and photos while you’re away! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As the founder of a cat rescue and TNR organization, I care for cats every day while also working remotely, which gives me flexibility when scheduling visits. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable following each pet’s normal feeding, medication, playtime, and care routine. I care for pets in their own homes by keeping their routine as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, keep food and water areas clean, secure doors and gates, and make sure the home is safely locked after each visit. I understand both cat and dog body language, so I approach each pet calmly, move at their pace, and never force interaction. I take time to build trust, especially with pets who are shy, nervous, or adjusting to someone new. I also provide updates and photos so clients can feel confident that their pets and home are safe and well cared for.

“When I returned home both of my dogs were completely exhausted from their walks which the exactly the goal! Great job Jessica!”
