“Sarah was pleasant to work with! She kept in touch to let us know everything was going well. Our dog really seemed to enjoy himself. We will definitely be using Sarah again :)”
“After a stay with Wade, I was worried that my dog Pisco wouldn't want to leave. Wade took Pisco on a couple of forest and town walks each day. He played with him. He took the kind of care that I would - and I love my dog. I was impressed and super appreciative. I highly recommend Wade if you need someone to care for your beloved pet.”
“We are so grateful to have found Brian to care for our two very special dogs, both of whom come with their own quirks and sensitivities. Our sweet and playful pup, Abbi, gets anxious in new environments, while our 13-year-old, Hank, is mostly sweet and playful but can also be a bit reactive when startled, especially by fast movements or unfamiliar people. Brian was incredible with both of them. Hank warmed up to him almost immediately (something that rarely happens) and seeing him snuggling his head into Brian's hand during one of the daily video updates was a highlight for us. Brian’s calm, confident presence clearly helped both of our dogs feel safe and happy. They had plenty of space to explore, lots of outdoor playtime, and were cared for with patience and attentiveness. In addition to putting our dogs at ease, he also managed to put my husband-who tends to be quite anxious about leaving them-at ease, as well. The daily video updates, thoughtful care, and dog-friendly environment made all the difference.”
“Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Faith instilled confidence and trust from the first video chat before the stay. She has a great house where the dogs can spend alot of free-roaming time outside. Faith sent several pictures a day which is very reassuring. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals, caring for them and making their lives as meaningful as possible. It began on my families old dairy farm when I was a child, and carried into my 15 year involvement within the veterinary/pet care industry. My passion for creating a safe environment for all animals has guided me to Rover, so I can operate my own business to my own high expectations of love and care for your pets! I have a vast amount of knowledge across all facets of the animal world including medical, behavioral, and enrichment. Pairing my knowledge with my nurturing instinct, unwavering love for animals, and gentle patience; it provides me with the skills and approach to give your fur-baby the best experience aside from being with you! I am a full time pet caregiver! I have flexibility 7 days a week to accommodate any and all scenarios for you and your fur babies! I am available to watch your pet in my home as well as yours. I do have indoor dens for your pup to stay in when not outside with me. I have all types of toys available per your preference. I have water, food, and treats available! I am also experienced in topical, oral, and injectable administration. I will be able to walk your dog multiple times throughout the day. I also have a quiet area for your cat as well!
“Brittany is so nice and caring! She kept my fur baby Addie for the night while we were out of town. Brittany gave me updates and sent me pictures so I knew how Addie was doing. Addie lost her rabies tag in Brittany's yard but Brittany found it and sent it to us! Brittany and her family took good care of Addie :)”
“My boarding experience with Megan was amazing! Her dogs were so welcoming and patient with my puppy. She kept me updated throughout the stay and her communication made me feel completely comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Hodge had a great time at Amber's and made good friends with her pups and her kids! I'm always happy to leave him in an welcoming, family atmosphere instead of a kennel. Amber was very communicative and accommodating; she sent me pics and an update every day. Highly recommended!”
“Beth did an amazing job at taking care of my beagle for me while I was out of town for a long weekend. I received timely, regular updates, and she provided my dog with a ton of affection, which she clearly relished from the pictures. She has a lovely house with a great backyard for the dogs to run, play, and sunbathe. Highly recommended, and she will be my first call the next time I need a dog sitter. Thanks Beth!”
“Jessica took care of our good boy like he was her own! She was great at communicating and sending pictures and videos. You can feel good that your pup is in good hands!”
“This was our first time boarding with Amber and we couldn't have been happier. She was extremely accommodating with our timeline and provided pictures & feedback throughout our girls visit... this put our minds at ease allowing us to focus on a family matter. Our girl came home happy & tired!!!”
“Brandi was very accommodating and helpful. She provided frequent updates on the animals with pictures, how they are adjusting, and the fun times my pup had with her during the stay. She also was very flexible but precise on what she needed to help make the animals stay more comfortable and enjoyable. Planning to book again on my next trip!”
“Melanie and Eric were so loving and caring with our anxious and reactive boy Walter! It was Walter’s first time away and I knew he was in good hands. They sent updates and were very responsive to messages. Couldn’t be happier!”
“Awesome sitter! Thanks so much for watching my little guy, I can tell he had a great vacation and I would highly recommend Solar. Very courteous and respectful and follows instructions perfectly. Would def use their services again. ?”
“Tiffany was amazing taking care of my Tinkerbell. She was super responsive and provided frequent, daily updates. I never went without photos of Tinkerbell the whole week she stayed with Tiffany, which I appreciated very much. Tinkerbell clearly became comfortable very quickly in the new environment. I would highly recommend Tiffany with her caring, compassionate demeanor.”
“Meghan and her family took such great care of our pups. She checked in often and reassured me they were doing great. They came home happy! Would definitely recommend Meghan to take care of your pets.”
“Megan is great with dogs! She has a nice fenced in backyard that is super dog friendly and lots of comfy indoor spaces and toys for pups. She kept us updated and sent photos daily. Megan was very patient and went above and beyond to help our dog who became anxious during his stay.”
About: Hi Loving Furparents, My lifelong passion is interspecies communication, animal care & behavior, ecology, and environmental conservation. I have grown up communicating, training/learning, caretaking, and translating for animals my entire life, and I continue to follow my passion for animal care, rehabilitation, conservation, and helping others learn to listen and communicate with animals. I have recently lost my soul dog and partner of nearly 16 years to osteosarcoma. I have experience learning life lessons our senior friends teach us; to slow down, smell the wildflowers, enjoy the little things in life, lead with empathy, lend a helping hand to one another, and be grateful for the moment we have together. I have experience with caretaking during mobility issues for both animals, using help-em-up harnesses and wheelchairs. Additionally, I have awareness and understanding of training needs when the human is afflicted with chronic illness and mobility impairments, such as helping the animal to learn and be mindful of unsteadiness, fall prevention, etc. My current SDiT and I are working on counterbalance, DPT, crowd guarding, behavior interruptions, and some preliminary scent work. Additional Background of Experience; I grew up in the area with a variety of species throughout the years, from cats & dogs to horses, rodents, fish, chickens & guinea fowl to turtles, etc. This experience came with interspecies management, learning to hand-rear animals, helping animals learn core life skills, assess and rehab injury, hospice care, etc. Later, I completed a multidisciplinary degree from WVU with concentrations in Wildlife Management and Conservation Ecology. At WVU, I completed curriculum including a Service Dog Training course where the dog I worked with (Gretel) graduated the following year to become a certified therapy dog at Chestnut Ridge. Additional courses included Animal Behavior, Equine Hoof and Limb, Equine Assisted Therapy, and Exotic Animal Medicine, among others. Since graduating, I have compiled formal experience working with both domestic animals, wildlife and protection of their habitat. I had the privilege to work abroad in Botswana, Africa at game reserves where we were able to rehabilitate animals, provide game drives, supplemental feeding etc., and interned at Mokolodi Nature Reserve in Botswana, Africa, caring for animals in rehabilitation. I currently work full-time, which unfortunately limits my availability to primarily evenings and weekends at this time. Well-behaved, socialized dogs may be able to join during office work days. I am considering transitioning to full-time animal training, should it be feasible, which may allow for additional availability in the future. Additionally, I am navigating chronic illness after long covid through schedule modification and mindful movement during caretaking. Thank you for your understanding schedule limitations during this transition. Please communicate with me your dogs needs i.e.; whether your pet has separation anxiety, medical needs or food allergies, usual routines that make them feel safe, enrichment or husbandry that helps positively stimulate them mentally and emotionally, triggers to be mindful of/avoid, whether they have off leash recall or there are chase drive trigger concerns and they must stay leashed at all times, and anything else you feel is relevant so we may collaborate on their care plan to provide them the best support. I do have a large crate available for dogs that are most comfortable with crate training when it is necessary to leave them at home. Our geriatric cat Fluffy lives in the home with us (please alert me to dogs that have not been socialized with cats), there is a rescue parrot in the household, and I have a ~55 lb rescue and SDIT who is very friendly and loves having someone to play and run around in the yard with. She was a family member to my geriatric dog with mobility concerns before his passing, and she has experience with older dogs and cats.
“She was able to watch my dog on very short notice and willing to give meds not noted on my profile as they were only temporary. She sent lots of photos, was very responsive, and it looked like she treated my dog like her own. 10/10 would have her watch my pup again - thanks, Sophia!”

About: I have grown up with cats and during late middle school years I have took care of my grandparents cats by providing food, water, and entertainment while they went on vacation. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter to entertain and walk the dogs, and recently have had experience house sitting a dog and two cats for two weeks with providing water every day, proper scheduled food, keeping the litter cleaned three times a day and as needed, and took the dog on walks every day to keep her active as well as making sure the cats never got bored. I’m a WVU freshman who is currently working towards majoring in Animal and Nutritional Sciences to pursue a dream job as a veterinarian. I am hoping to gain more experience with your beloved furry friends and a little extra cash in-between my semester breaks! Unfortunately, I do not provide care at my personal residence, but as long as you leave your pets with me I’ll treat them as my own, proving them fresh water every morning, keeping up with the scheduled feeding schedules, and making sure they always have clean litter and that your dogs are walked multiple times a day. As well as providing them entertainment while they’re in my possession making sure they never get bored, getting the proper attention and care they deserve.
About: I’ve had experience with cats my entire life. As an adult, I’ve taken in stray cats, helped rehome others, and even cared for two kittens who were born under my house in California. Those two made a cross-country move with me to Pennsylvania and lived long, happy lives to the ages of 18 and 19. I currently share my home with two senior rescue cats and am also caring for a barn cat who appeared during the last snowstorm—I’m confident we’ll be friends in time. I truly enjoy spending time with cats, whether that means playtime, companionship, or simply being a calm presence. I’m comfortable administering medications if needed, and I also understand that some cats prefer their space—and I respect that completely.
“Keydan is a total rock star. She watched our two senior cats while we were out of the country for a week, and she handled everything—including a snowstorm and a faulty door lock—with grace. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats. There aren’t enough words to express how much I appreciate Keydan’s work ethic. She is amazing, and if you have the opportunity to hire her, consider yourself very lucky!”
“We really appreciate Jennifer (and John) for taking care of our kitten. They were very thorough and gave updates along with photos. they were able to watch Cali with little time notice. They made sure Cali was played with, cuddled and cleaned up nicely when we got back.”
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 will be with your dogs during the day as well as overnight, but I will need to be able to leave during the day to meet ongoing commitments. I will travel out of my area (Deep Creek, Alpine Lake) for an additional fee. I will stay with your pets in your home, where they are most comfortable. If they are used to cuddling on the couch with you while you watch television, I will do that. If they are used to being outside a lot, I will take them out (weather permitting of course).
“Kaity was an excellent sitter for my cat Beau, she's very communicative and helpful and having her watch him gave me a ton of peace of mind. This was my first time using this app and she was so patient with me helping me work through things and understand how everything worked.”
About: As long as I can remember growing up we always had animals mostly dogs. As I got older I have always been the one my friends and family come to when they need someone to care for their pets. I would pet sit, take them on walks , stay with them and play with them. I am a true dog lover through and through. I have had dogs my whole life . My son has 5 dogs and pretty much everyone I know is a pet lover so no matter where I go I’m around animals. I watch dogs for friends and my son often. I can take them to the dog park to run and play with other dogs. We can go on walks and play in the yard.
About: Animals have been a constant in my life and career for over a decade. I spent 5 years working in veterinary medicine, starting as a kennel attendant in a boarding facility and working my way up to a veterinary receptionist while continuing hands-on care with boarded pets. That experience gave me a strong foundation in animal health, behavior, and daily care routines. While still in vet med, and continuing after, I ran my own pet sitting and dog walking business for nearly 6 years. I cared for pets in their homes, built long-term relationships with clients, and managed everything from daily walks to extended stays. I stepped away due to a demanding work schedule, but caring for animals has always been where my heart is. I’m experienced with special needs pets, administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable), managing behavioral challenges, and following detailed care instructions. I’m comfortable with senior pets, high-energy breeds, shy or anxious animals, and multi-pet households. Currently, I work as a 911 dispatcher for the county, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and handle unexpected situations responsibly. Reliability, attention to detail, and safety are second nature to me. I’m excited to reconnect with what I’m most passionate about; providing dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care for your pets as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work 3–4 night shifts a week, which gives me several full days off dedicated entirely to pet care. On my workdays, I’m intentional about scheduling visits around my shifts so pets still receive consistent, reliable attention. Because I work nights, my daytime schedule is flexible. I take short rest breaks throughout the day, very much like your pets do lol, which allows me to stay energized while still being present and attentive during visits. I’m used to structuring my time carefully, and I prioritize reliability and routine so your pets feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s early morning drop-ins, mid-day visits, evening walks, or overnight care on my off days, I build my schedule around providing consistent, dependable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household preferences exactly as outlined. My goal is to maintain consistency so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I provide plenty of enrichment, affection, and supervision tailored to each animal’s personality, whether that’s high-energy playtime, structured walks, or calm companionship for more anxious or senior pets. I’m experienced with administering medications, monitoring for health or behavioral changes, and handling special needs with confidence and care. I also treat your home with respect. I keep things clean, secure, and organized, provide regular updates with photos, and communicate clearly so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She took care of Vincent as if he were her own, with so much love, patience and responsibility. From the very first moment, her sweetness and professionalism gave us total peace of mind. Vincent felt safe, content and spoiled — y eso para nosotros lo es todo. We received updates, photos and messages throughout the day, always con cariño and attention to every detail. It truly felt like leaving our baby with family. Her service is exceptional, her energy is beautiful, and her dedication shows in everything she does. We are so grateful and will choose her again and again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommended. She’s truly the best! 💕🐶✨”
“We needed a dog sitter while visiting WVU for the day. We found Megan and were happy to use her doggy daycare for our Takoa.

We will definitely reach out again when we are visiting the area and highly recommend her!”

About: I live in Scottdale but I’m very familiar with ALL surrounding areas. I’m a homemaker, so I’m available practically any time to come offer care to your furry (or not so furry!) loved ones! Currently we have a very hyper 32lb female Siberian Husky & a spunky 15lb female Pomsky. They are both crate trained & house trained. I recently lost my female German Shepherd; & a year prior my male Siberian Husky. My male Siberian was epileptic so I’m experienced in offering meds and know that having them on hand & on time IS A MUST for things of this nature! My shepherd was very elderly & required extra love & care also. *I offer basic kitty care. (Also if you don’t mind if I bring my sister along she is EXCEPTIONAL with cats more so than I am. I cannot host cats in my home due to the prey drive of my husky, sometimes she’s ok with them, other times not. But I or my sister & I both will come to you! (I pay my sister personally out of my own pocket, no extra fee for you!). *I’ll do feedings for lizards as I have had a few bearded dragon myself as well so I’m knowledgeable here also. (But under no circumstances ask me to care for your snake!) *I offer walks, playtime, feeding & water breaks, treat time, medication administration all in my standard fee. Anything else, just ask! I’m very flexible & willing to work out most things if we can come to an agreement suitable for both sides. Can’t wait to meet the furry parts of your family.🐾 Pretty much available whenever. I can usually work out something that’s suitable if I am not. Reach out with any questions! We can almost always work out an agreement. No fence but my yard is safe, multiple leashes, 2 porches, in a friendly community for walks. Small home but very lovable and friendly and cozy. My dogs are crate trained but good with other dogs, socialized, UTD on shots, but my girls are not spayed so I prefer altered males only at this time.
About: I've spent my whole life surrounded by animals—caring for everything from playful puppies and cuddly cats to bunnies, ferrets, and more. I’ve fostered kittens, helped them grow strong and social, and supported pets through every stage of life. What started as helping family, friends, and neighbors has grown into a true calling. I have experience with pets of all ages, medical needs, and those requiring special attention—like blind or deaf animals who need extra patience and care. Whether it’s daily check-ins or last-minute sitting, I treat every pet like family—because that’s how I’d want mine treated too. I work from home and I make my own schedule. So, tons of time for walks, play-time, bathing, and cuddles. Missing your fur baby? No worries! As a fur mom, I know how reassuring it can be to get updates, with pictures and videos, while being away from your babies. I have 2 pups and tons of toys that will keep your pups entertained, and space they can retreat to if they feel overstimulated. I live close to trails for enjoyable walks, for the pups that are properly safeguarded with prevention and vaccines for a walk through the woods. I have plenty of kitty toys and scratchers for my kitty friends, so they can have fun and keep their nails in tip top shape. My fur babies have a calm and safe environment, and we’d love to share that with your fur baby.
“I highly recommend Brian for dog sitting my pet, Chase. It was last minute because the hotel that we stayed don’t allow pet to be left alone and I left a message to Brian that night if he’s available in the morning. He’s very accomodating and professional. He has also a very good place for dogs to play. This is my first time to use Rover app and gladly, we are really satisfied.”

In the home we have an older Great Dane, but she likes to keep to herself and is a certified couch potato. We have several gates up in our house to keep pets safely separated. I welcome dog crates if you have them, or I do have a few I could use here if that is easier. We have a large property where we can take walks, or we even live close to a bike trail we can walk at. I have done drop in visits for puppies and dogs in the past, and have had great feedback. I can stay for a length of time and let your pets get some exercise and play. I am open to tending farm animals as well while you’re away.

About: Hello! I'm an easy going, cheerful person, who loves animals and the outdoors. I've had animals (or I should say they've had me) all my life.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy getting out of the house—spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m happy to care for pets in the comfort of their own homes. I value detailed instructions, a clean environment, and open communication so I can provide attentive, reliable care.
“Lauren was very sweet and kind. Showed a lot of care and attention to my puppy and made sure to update me on their walks. She made leaving my puppy so much easier. A phenomenal sitter!”
About: I have experience in working with animals in boarding and daycare and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I am trained in animal restraint, administering medications, and reading body language. I also have 3 family dogs and one of my own. Taking care of pets is my life. For work, I take care of animals at Duck Hollow Animal Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant. I am also studying Veterinary Technology at Pennwest California. Because of my academics, during school, I will only be able to book on Sundays. I have a female rescue dog that loves other dogs and cats! If you want your dog to have a friend, I can bring her, or if not, that's okay too!
About: As long as I can remember growing up we always had animals mostly dogs. As I got older I have always been the one my friends and family come to when they need someone to care for their pets. I would pet sit, take them on walks , stay with them and play with them. I am a true dog lover through and through. I have had dogs my whole life . My son has 5 dogs and pretty much everyone I know is a pet lover so no matter where I go I’m around animals. I watch dogs for friends and my son often. I can take them to the dog park to run and play with other dogs. We can go on walks and play in the yard.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every size and personality for over 10 years. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and happy in my care. I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, giving oral medications, and keeping routines consistent so dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me for daily walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I love spending time outdoors, playing fetch, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Every pup I care for is treated like part of my own family — with patience, affection, and plenty of tail wags! 🐾 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pups! I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays after 12 PM, as well as boarding or overnight stays on weekends. I love spending time outdoors and keeping dogs active, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends! Your pup will have plenty of space to play and relax in a safe, supervised environment. I always keep water fresh, maintain clean spaces, and follow your care instructions carefully. Crating is available if preferred, and I treat every dog as if they were my own.
About: Animals have been a constant in my life and career for over a decade. I spent 5 years working in veterinary medicine, starting as a kennel attendant in a boarding facility and working my way up to a veterinary receptionist while continuing hands-on care with boarded pets. That experience gave me a strong foundation in animal health, behavior, and daily care routines. While still in vet med, and continuing after, I ran my own pet sitting and dog walking business for nearly 6 years. I cared for pets in their homes, built long-term relationships with clients, and managed everything from daily walks to extended stays. I stepped away due to a demanding work schedule, but caring for animals has always been where my heart is. I’m experienced with special needs pets, administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable), managing behavioral challenges, and following detailed care instructions. I’m comfortable with senior pets, high-energy breeds, shy or anxious animals, and multi-pet households. Currently, I work as a 911 dispatcher for the county, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and handle unexpected situations responsibly. Reliability, attention to detail, and safety are second nature to me. I’m excited to reconnect with what I’m most passionate about; providing dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care for your pets as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work 3–4 night shifts a week, which gives me several full days off dedicated entirely to pet care. On my workdays, I’m intentional about scheduling visits around my shifts so pets still receive consistent, reliable attention. Because I work nights, my daytime schedule is flexible. I take short rest breaks throughout the day, very much like your pets do lol, which allows me to stay energized while still being present and attentive during visits. I’m used to structuring my time carefully, and I prioritize reliability and routine so your pets feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s early morning drop-ins, mid-day visits, evening walks, or overnight care on my off days, I build my schedule around providing consistent, dependable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household preferences exactly as outlined. My goal is to maintain consistency so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I provide plenty of enrichment, affection, and supervision tailored to each animal’s personality, whether that’s high-energy playtime, structured walks, or calm companionship for more anxious or senior pets. I’m experienced with administering medications, monitoring for health or behavioral changes, and handling special needs with confidence and care. I also treat your home with respect. I keep things clean, secure, and organized, provide regular updates with photos, and communicate clearly so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities.

“So far I’ve been pleased with Kristie. My pup took a liking to her immediately. Kristie is tough. Even if it’s cold or nasty weather, she will push through and make sure the dog gets his exercise. I hope she can become my regular dog walker for many more years”

“Sarah was pleasant to work with! She kept in touch to let us know everything was going well. Our dog really seemed to enjoy himself. We will definitely be using Sarah again :)”
“After a stay with Wade, I was worried that my dog Pisco wouldn't want to leave. Wade took Pisco on a couple of forest and town walks each day. He played with him. He took the kind of care that I would - and I love my dog. I was impressed and super appreciative. I highly recommend Wade if you need someone to care for your beloved pet.”
“We are so grateful to have found Brian to care for our two very special dogs, both of whom come with their own quirks and sensitivities. Our sweet and playful pup, Abbi, gets anxious in new environments, while our 13-year-old, Hank, is mostly sweet and playful but can also be a bit reactive when startled, especially by fast movements or unfamiliar people. Brian was incredible with both of them. Hank warmed up to him almost immediately (something that rarely happens) and seeing him snuggling his head into Brian's hand during one of the daily video updates was a highlight for us. Brian’s calm, confident presence clearly helped both of our dogs feel safe and happy. They had plenty of space to explore, lots of outdoor playtime, and were cared for with patience and attentiveness. In addition to putting our dogs at ease, he also managed to put my husband-who tends to be quite anxious about leaving them-at ease, as well. The daily video updates, thoughtful care, and dog-friendly environment made all the difference.”
“Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Faith instilled confidence and trust from the first video chat before the stay. She has a great house where the dogs can spend alot of free-roaming time outside. Faith sent several pictures a day which is very reassuring. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals, caring for them and making their lives as meaningful as possible. It began on my families old dairy farm when I was a child, and carried into my 15 year involvement within the veterinary/pet care industry.

I have a vast amount of knowledge across all facets of the animal world including medical, behavioral, and enrichment. Pairing my knowledge with my nurturing instinct, unwavering love for animals, and gentle patience; it provides me with the skills and approach to give your fur-baby the best experience aside from being with you!

I am also experienced in topical, oral, and injectable administration. I will be able to walk your dog multiple times throughout the day. I also have a quiet area for your cat as well!
“Brittany is so nice and caring! She kept my fur baby Addie for the night while we were out of town. Brittany gave me updates and sent me pictures so I knew how Addie was doing. Addie lost her rabies tag in Brittany's yard but Brittany found it and sent it to us! Brittany and her family took good care of Addie :)”
“My boarding experience with Megan was amazing! Her dogs were so welcoming and patient with my puppy. She kept me updated throughout the stay and her communication made me feel completely comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Hodge had a great time at Amber's and made good friends with her pups and her kids! I'm always happy to leave him in an welcoming, family atmosphere instead of a kennel. Amber was very communicative and accommodating; she sent me pics and an update every day. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time boarding with Amber and we couldn't have been happier. She was extremely accommodating with our timeline and provided pictures & feedback throughout our girls visit... this put our minds at ease allowing us to focus on a family matter. Our girl came home happy & tired!!!”
“Melanie and Eric were so loving and caring with our anxious and reactive boy Walter! It was Walter’s first time away and I knew he was in good hands. They sent updates and were very responsive to messages. Couldn’t be happier!”
“Awesome sitter! Thanks so much for watching my little guy, I can tell he had a great vacation and I would highly recommend Solar. Very courteous and respectful and follows instructions perfectly. Would def use their services again. ?”
“Tiffany was amazing taking care of my Tinkerbell. She was super responsive and provided frequent, daily updates. I never went without photos of Tinkerbell the whole week she stayed with Tiffany, which I appreciated very much. Tinkerbell clearly became comfortable very quickly in the new environment. I would highly recommend Tiffany with her caring, compassionate demeanor.”
“Meghan and her family took such great care of our pups. She checked in often and reassured me they were doing great. They came home happy! Would definitely recommend Meghan to take care of your pets.”
“Megan is great with dogs! She has a nice fenced in backyard that is super dog friendly and lots of comfy indoor spaces and toys for pups. She kept us updated and sent photos daily. Megan was very patient and went above and beyond to help our dog who became anxious during his stay.”
About: Hi Loving Furparents, My lifelong passion is interspecies communication, animal care & behavior, ecology, and environmental conservation. I have grown up communicating, training/learning, caretaking, and translating for animals my entire life, and I continue to follow my passion for animal care, rehabilitation, conservation, and helping others learn to listen and communicate with animals. I have recently lost my soul dog and partner of nearly 16 years to osteosarcoma. I have experience learning life lessons our senior friends teach us; to slow down, smell the wildflowers, enjoy the little things in life, lead with empathy, lend a helping hand to one another, and be grateful for the moment we have together. I have experience with caretaking during mobility issues for both animals, using help-em-up harnesses and wheelchairs. Additionally, I have awareness and understanding of training needs when the human is afflicted with chronic illness and mobility impairments, such as helping the animal to learn and be mindful of unsteadiness, fall prevention, etc. My current SDiT and I are working on counterbalance, DPT, crowd guarding, behavior interruptions, and some preliminary scent work. Additional Background of Experience; I grew up in the area with a variety of species throughout the years, from cats & dogs to horses, rodents, fish, chickens & guinea fowl to turtles, etc. This experience came with interspecies management, learning to hand-rear animals, helping animals learn core life skills, assess and rehab injury, hospice care, etc. Later, I completed a multidisciplinary degree from WVU with concentrations in Wildlife Management and Conservation Ecology. At WVU, I completed curriculum including a Service Dog Training course where the dog I worked with (Gretel) graduated the following year to become a certified therapy dog at Chestnut Ridge. Additional courses included Animal Behavior, Equine Hoof and Limb, Equine Assisted Therapy, and Exotic Animal Medicine, among others. Since graduating, I have compiled formal experience working with both domestic animals, wildlife and protection of their habitat. I had the privilege to work abroad in Botswana, Africa at game reserves where we were able to rehabilitate animals, provide game drives, supplemental feeding etc., and interned at Mokolodi Nature Reserve in Botswana, Africa, caring for animals in rehabilitation. I currently work full-time, which unfortunately limits my availability to primarily evenings and weekends at this time. Well-behaved, socialized dogs may be able to join during office work days. I am considering transitioning to full-time animal training, should it be feasible, which may allow for additional availability in the future. Additionally, I am navigating chronic illness after long covid through schedule modification and mindful movement during caretaking. Thank you for your understanding schedule limitations during this transition. Please communicate with me your dogs needs i.e.; whether your pet has separation anxiety, medical needs or food allergies, usual routines that make them feel safe, enrichment or husbandry that helps positively stimulate them mentally and emotionally, triggers to be mindful of/avoid, whether they have off leash recall or there are chase drive trigger concerns and they must stay leashed at all times, and anything else you feel is relevant so we may collaborate on their care plan to provide them the best support. I do have a large crate available for dogs that are most comfortable with crate training when it is necessary to leave them at home. Our geriatric cat Fluffy lives in the home with us (please alert me to dogs that have not been socialized with cats), there is a rescue parrot in the household, and I have a ~55 lb rescue and SDIT who is very friendly and loves having someone to play and run around in the yard with. She was a family member to my geriatric dog with mobility concerns before his passing, and she has experience with older dogs and cats.
“She was able to watch my dog on very short notice and willing to give meds not noted on my profile as they were only temporary. She sent lots of photos, was very responsive, and it looked like she treated my dog like her own. 10/10 would have her watch my pup again - thanks, Sophia!”
“Kaity was a lifesaver after our usual Rover pet sitter was unable to keep Suey for us while we were away. She was kind and welcoming to Suey at drop off & sent me photos and updates during her stay. I’d definitely recommend Kaity & wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future. Thanks again, Kaity!”
“Jody was extremely pleasant to work with. She was friendly immediately upon meeting her and interacted with our dogs like they were her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Kristin stayed in contact with me the whole time Rizzo stayed with her. She sent me daily pictures, and answered any questions I had about his stay, which put my mind at ease. I will definitely book with her again.”
