“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“Angeline and her husband Dave we're fantastic!! They really made us feel comfortable leaving our girls Lilly and Lulu with them. We loved all the picture updates and feel that they treated pur girls with just much love and we would have. We look forward to having Angeline care for our girls again in May.”
“Heather and her family were so gracious and friendly. Grainger was well taken care of. She sent pictures and updates. If we are traveling back to Beaver County with Grainger, again, I will definitely rebook.”
About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
“Mikaela is the absolute best!! We had a super fun and friendly meet and greet and I knew my Aussie, Nick would have a fab time. He loved her other 2 dogs and was treated like he was right at home! Mikaela was lovely to communicate with; super clear with details and sent me lots of adorable photos while I was away. Thank you Mikaela, Abby & Cecil for taking great care of my best buddy!! <3”
“I’m so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed, and even wearing the cutest bandannas! She’s incredibly friendly and thoughtful—what really stood out was how she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages without me even having to ask. That kind of communication gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Watson had a great time with Cassie this past weekend! I got lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, and I could tell he wasn't ready to leave when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone looking for a dog sitter while they're out of town.”
“We had a great experience and will definitely be boarding again!! Easy pick up and drop off, great communication with daily picture updates, and our pup LOVED the doggie door!!”
“This was the best pet sitting experience we could have hoped for! It is our first time using Rover and Laurie was an absolute delight. She treated Sadie as if she were her own and updated us daily with photos. We will 100% recommend and use her again ! 10/10!”
About: I’ve owned a dog my entire adulthood, my miniature schnauzer that we rescued lived to be 15 & we had her 12 of those years. My current dog is a certified therapy dog that works with me.

We have a friendly poodle mix & an enclosed/fenced in yard with a privacy fence. They will have free range of the house & frequent outdoor breaks for exercise. :)
“Wendy was great!!! She texted me with updates, questions, and went above and beyond for my senior who isn’t necessarily comfortable with change!!! She left her a goody basket which my dog loved, and throughout her stay she went above and beyond to help my dog with her upset stomach, feel comfortable and took her out often!!! I could tell Layla had a great time with her when i picked her up and when she smelt her from her toy!!!”

On those days, I would be able to drop in early in the morning and/or later on in the evening. Other days, I will be able to walk or drop in 3-4 times a day. I have a senior pittie mix that I adore! I provide her with a lot of activity and exercise to keep her simulated in her older years! Very patient with all of my pets.

“Absolutely great taking care of our two cats. She took the time to play with them in addition to feeding them and taking care of their litter. Provided lots of information and pictures about the daily visits and. 5/5 would definitely recommend if you need someone to watch your fur babies!!”
“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”
“Tiffany was fantastic! From our initial meet-and-greet, to ongoing communications, to sending photos, and most importantly, to taking great care of my boys, Arlo and Otis. I highly recommend Tiffany and will request her care again. Thank you, Tiffany!”
About: My name is Kelly, I am 27 years YOUNG! I am a full time Criminal Justice college student attending Purdue Global University online. If it weren’t for Covid-19, I’d still be working as a Correctional Officer. I’m married to my best friend who has given me the best gift of all, a stepdaughter who is 8 years old.

I’ve been around plenty of new animals that didn’t like many people, including myself but I believe patience is key. We have baby steps to get to our goals and I believe the same for animals, you take baby steps and earn their trust and the rest will come. We have one dog, he is a cocker spaniel. His name is Charlie and he is about 6 years old. I’ve had him since he was just 7 weeks old, he is my whole world and the love/bond we share is undeniable and unbreakable. I treat ALL animals how I would want someone to treat mine; with love and patience. I have ample experience walking various breeds and sizes as well as ones with different temperaments. I love taking my Charlie butt on long walks and enjoy playtimes with him. He gets the best of love and care that I will show with you’re furry best friend!

“It is the first time we have used this service, and we have had the best experience with Tom and Christine, always in contact with us, they made us feel that Cooper was safe with them all the time. Cooper had a lot of fun to the point that the only thing he wanted when he returned was to drink plenty of water and rest. We are very grateful and hope to use his service again and for sure with Tom y Christina. Highly recommended!!!”
About: I'm passionate when it comes to top quality care of all animals. I live, eat, and breathe pet care/vet med. I'm a loving, kind experienced veterinary assistant with experience in specialty vet med. I have 2 medium well trained dogs that I share custody of, so I can accomodate more needy puppers or kitties if needed (they can go to their dads for sittings) I also have 3 cats. My first job as a kid in high-school was helping the local groomer wash dogs. I have pet sat, house sat, walked dogs, fed, bathed, clipped nails, admin'ed meds, etc. for over 20 years at this point. Because I have a background in vet med, I feel comfortable with pets who have some mild to moderate special needs. I work full time remotely, so I am available to sit in my home or at yours with short notice. I also have a very flexible schedule which allows for frequent potty/ walk about breaks. I have a spare room for pets overnight in my home. During the day they're allowed to freely roam the house and we will take occasional strolls to park, or on the trail, based on behavior and comfort level of all parties.

I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.

About: I have been an animal lover all my life and i will take care of your pets daily needs as i do my own animals. I'm currently working full time but have a very flexible schedule.

I am also able to walk daily when needed.
About: I have taken care of countless animals in my life. I truly adore them. I've raised llamas, mini donkeys, chickens, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, macaws, fish..to name a few! I believe animals are family. They enrich our lives and bring us happiness! I am currently retired and available frequently for boarding and/or daycare. I clean my yard daily, so no waste is evident. It is very important to me that your dog has all shots and is on a flea/tick preventative medication. I have a fenced yard, a doggie door that leads to the yard and a friendly labradoodle. I also have a cat, but she stays in her "own" room.

“10/10 would recommend. You can tell how much effort she put into her bio and her house setup for pets. She's such a sweetheart very reasonably priced but deserves a good tip. I love how experienced she is with a variety. I love the play places she has setup for the pets. I am excited to hopefully keep coming to her. She even gave us a little goodie bag. It was so cute. I especially enjoyed the updates and pics and Vids. Wendy is wonderful”
About: Dog sitting is my favorite passion. I have taken care of every breed from a miniature schnauzer to an English mastiff to Rottweilers for over 10-15 years now. Animal owners rely on me to give all the love and care to their precious animals. Our animals are like kids and owners expect them to be well-taken care of and loved! I love cuddling with the animals, taking them for walks, throwing balls outside for dogs, and more! That is what I do! I am full time work from home.

About: I am back from home after graduating with a Masters this summer, so I am excited to come home and go back to dog sitting, what I’ve done since I was in high school! My dog Sammy is always so excited when we go home because she gets to meet new pup friends, and we both love having more dogs around to play with. Sammy is just about the nicest dog you'll ever meet. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! We have a huge yard (and a very tall fence, so no need to worry if anybody can jump over it!) that we can run in all day, and when we're all tired, we lounge on the couch and relax. Sammy and I take daily walks, and sometimes walk twice a day, which your animal can join in on as well. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading all day for my winter break so I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me and my pup Sammy
About: Hello, I’m Kandis, a lifelong Steubenville local with a deep love for animals. Growing up with dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pets of all shapes, sizes, and life stages, from playful puppies and the ‘terrible twos’ to senior companions who need gentle care. I love how pets enrich our lives. Whether it’s daily dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, or medication reminders, I treat every pet like my own, with the patience and affection they deserve. I’m currently building my dedicated pet sitting and dog walking business in the Steubenville area. My schedule is highly flexible and open most days and times—aside from Saturday and Sunday morning Mass. I’m happy to work around your needs for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or whatever your pets require. Just let me know your schedule! I deeply respect your home and privacy and will follow all instructions for your pets and property without issue. Whether caring for your pets in your home or welcoming them into mine, their safety and comfort come first. My home features a fenced backyard, separate levels for quiet time if needed, and kennels for flexible arrangements. I have two friendly dogs of my own (a Bernedoodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) who love making new friends and providing companionship during stays. I prepare healthy homemade treats like dehydrated fruit and jerky, and I’m experienced managing picky eaters and sensitive stomachs.

I love animals of all kinds, I’ve worked for a stable where we took care of 30+ horses per day, and as you can see from my photos I gravitate towards all sorts of animals even goats, alligators, and llamas! I work part time but have weird hours so I can also help with weird hours. I have 3 days off every week and have open availability on those days, the other days I’m available before or after work. I’m not available for care in my own home. However when I am in your home I will treat it even better then I do my own. I will take care of your animals just like I would my own and give them the proper attention and care they need and deserve, especially tailored to how you want things done.

My workplace involves taking care of animals & have worked there for 4years & continue to work for them. I'm currently working part-time so I have lots of time on hands. I typically work 2 days weekly, I can also request days off if needed. My workdays are Friday, Saturday & Sunday. In the past, I had a husky which is a high maintenance dog. So, I know a how to handle an energetic dog. I also offer to bath the dog if needed. I also try to get a treat or toy, epically for a first interaction.

About: My name is Kelly, I am 27 years YOUNG! I am a full time Criminal Justice college student attending Purdue Global University online. If it weren’t for Covid-19, I’d still be working as a Correctional Officer. I’m married to my best friend who has given me the best gift of all, a stepdaughter who is 8 years old. I have loved animals ever since I learned to walk. My parents never believed in buying animals, they believed in adopting the ones who didn’t have a home. I carried that with me growing up and became the go to for my neighborhood if they seen a stray animal. Call Kelly, they’d say. No challenge is too big with animals. I’ve been around plenty of new animals that didn’t like many people, including myself but I believe patience is key. We have baby steps to get to our goals and I believe the same for animals, you take baby steps and earn their trust and the rest will come. We have one dog, he is a cocker spaniel. His name is Charlie and he is about 6 years old. I’ve had him since he was just 7 weeks old, he is my whole world and the love/bond we share is undeniable and unbreakable. I treat ALL animals how I would want someone to treat mine; with love and patience. I have ample experience walking various breeds and sizes as well as ones with different temperaments. I love taking my Charlie butt on long walks and enjoy playtimes with him. He gets the best of love and care that I will show with you’re furry best friend!

About: I have been taking care of animals, mostly dogs and cats since I was 10 years old when I got my first puppy and have had dogs and cats ever since. I have a passion for animals and love taking care of them. Whenever friends or family need assistance taking care of their pet, I kindly oblige! I am only working part time at the moment so I am pretty flexible with my schedule. Mornings and afternoons are preferred for drop ins are preferred. I can do any time on the weekends. It varies depending on the situation. I typically take the dog for a walk or if there is a fenced in yard, I’ll take the dog out and play in the fenced in area.
About: I'm passionate when it comes to top quality care of all animals. I live, eat, and breathe pet care/vet med. I'm a loving, kind experienced veterinary assistant with experience in specialty vet med. I have 2 medium well trained dogs that I share custody of, so I can accomodate more needy puppers or kitties if needed (they can go to their dads for sittings) I also have 3 cats. My first job as a kid in high-school was helping the local groomer wash dogs. I have pet sat, house sat, walked dogs, fed, bathed, clipped nails, admin'ed meds, etc. for over 20 years at this point. Because I have a background in vet med, I feel comfortable with pets who have some mild to moderate special needs. I work full time remotely, so I am available to sit in my home or at yours with short notice. I also have a very flexible schedule which allows for frequent potty/ walk about breaks. I have a spare room for pets overnight in my home. During the day they're allowed to freely roam the house and we will take occasional strolls to park, or on the trail, based on behavior and comfort level of all parties.

“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“Heather and her family were so gracious and friendly. Grainger was well taken care of. She sent pictures and updates. If we are traveling back to Beaver County with Grainger, again, I will definitely rebook.”
About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
“Mikaela is the absolute best!! We had a super fun and friendly meet and greet and I knew my Aussie, Nick would have a fab time. He loved her other 2 dogs and was treated like he was right at home! Mikaela was lovely to communicate with; super clear with details and sent me lots of adorable photos while I was away. Thank you Mikaela, Abby & Cecil for taking great care of my best buddy!! <3”
“I’m so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. They came home happy, relaxed, and even wearing the cutest bandannas! She’s incredibly friendly and thoughtful—what really stood out was how she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages without me even having to ask. That kind of communication gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Watson had a great time with Cassie this past weekend! I got lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, and I could tell he wasn't ready to leave when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone looking for a dog sitter while they're out of town.”
“We had a great experience and will definitely be boarding again!! Easy pick up and drop off, great communication with daily picture updates, and our pup LOVED the doggie door!!”
“Wendy was great!!! She texted me with updates, questions, and went above and beyond for my senior who isn’t necessarily comfortable with change!!! She left her a goody basket which my dog loved, and throughout her stay she went above and beyond to help my dog with her upset stomach, feel comfortable and took her out often!!! I could tell Layla had a great time with her when i picked her up and when she smelt her from her toy!!!”
About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish. I'm all about making sure our babies are happy and healthy and living the best life we can provide to them. After doing much research and lots of experience, I've learned a lot about a dog's language and how to respect them. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and will love on them just the same. I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! Rover is my full time job right now so I’m available to take care of your pup throughout the day as need be, whether that’s just hanging out or a walk or potty break, etc. I have a large fenced in yard and our 2 dogs will gladly keep your pup company and enjoy running around. I can easily crate if need be as well.
About: I’ve been helping friends and family take care of their animals while they are away since I was a kid. I love babysitting furry friends. I work certain days of the week at another job really early in the mourning and home by 1130 am. I’m a very quiet shy person but I love animals. I work certain days early in the mourning and I’m home by 11:30 a.m. I need a 4 day in advance booking. I love animals so I wanted a job to where I can work them. I spoil every animal I come across. Everyone will be fed. I have treats, toys, leashes, a special dog monitor for if I do have an overnight on a day I have to work. I do have an extra crate if you feel your dog needs crated. If your animal requires special treatment such as medication I will need something written out for that such as name of medication time taken etc. I care for every animal as if they were my own. Their health and safety is my main priority at all times.
“Michael is a phenomenal boarder. Our dog didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Michael sent us two videos a day and it was obvious in the videos that the dogs really liked Michael. His big yard was perfect for our pup! We will definitely use again!!! Thank you, Michael!”
“My experience boarding our pup Willy with Megan and her family was wonderful. Several weeks before our boarding and before I even confirmed the booking, Megan invited me to visit and make sure our pup would be comfortable or a good fit. Only once it seemed like it was going to be good for all of us did move forward. Willy stayed for a week. Megan was not only attentive to his usual routine but kept us updated with photos and notes about how he was feeling (he gets anxiety over storms). I really made us feel good about our decision to try Rover for the first time and Megan in particular. We'd definitely do it again. Thank you, Megan!”
“My dogs were well taken care of. They were happy puppies. Joni kept me updated on what they were doing while I was away. Thank you Joni for taking good care of my babies!”
