“Megan did a fantastic job caring for Stevie. We had a thorough conversation beforehand about her needs, expectations, and what to bring, which immediately put me at ease. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay, and it was clear that Stevie was happy and well cared for. She absolutely loved spending time with Megan and her dogs, and I’m sure he’d be thrilled to stay with them again. It truly felt like leaving him with a trusted family member rather than a sitter.”
“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!”
“Brandi really gives me a comfortable and carefree vacation! When my kitties come back, I see them really happy and cheerful, growing big for a little bit. I know they must have a great time there!”
“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.”
“Jessica is amazing! She has walked Luke many times in the past and we always had a great experience with her. This time we were going on vacation and took Lukie to her for boarding. She was really great! Kept me updated the entire time and sent me pictures and videos, Luke had an amazing time and even became friends with her kitten. I would definitely recommend her. I was at ease knowing Lukie was well taken care of. She treated him like if he was her own pup.”
“Sarah is caring and compassionate with us and our dog. She provides us updates on how our pet is adapting to his new environment. Our dog loves being with her pets. It’s like a play date for him.”
“Jen was awesome! Our doggie Noel had so much fun! I love that she kept us updated the whole time. She also works with you on drop off and pickup times, changes in schedules, etc. She helped make it a pleasant first experience for us and for Noel. Her home is a perfect setup. We couldn't have been happier. We highly recommend her for future clients. We will be using her in the future for sure.”

“McKayla and Christian are wonderful sitters. They sent lots of pics and kept me up to speed with everything my pup was doing. I most certainly would rebook with them. Thank you for treating my fur baby as if he was your own ❤️”
“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!”
“Michelle & Luke provided my pup with the most loving, active, and safe environment! This was my very first experience with Rover and I had visited and been in contact with several other options before settling on this one. I’m SO glad I held out for the best- I can not say enough great things about Reina’s stay here. I received updates throughout my week with pictures of my pup. She had a great stay and I will use them again. 10/10”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“We had Amber watch our dog for our daughter’s wedding weekend! It was the first time she met Stella. We were very pleased with Amber and her family. She was kind enough to communicate with me over the 3 nights and she even sent pictures to us. It was a huge relief to know our dog was being taken care of so well !

She was thorough and went above and beyond, doing little things I had forgotten to even think to ask about while I was out of town, like bringing my trash cans back to my house from where they'd been on the curb for trash pickup the day I left.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: Before I even had a cat of my own, I would coax my aunt's very skittish cat out from under beds so I could pet him - I have been a cat lover since I was small! I have a 10-year-old cat of my own named Pepper. I adopted her when she still a kitten and I love her dearly! I have cared for kittens, elderly cats who need extra gentle love and care, and everything in between. I am reliable, patient, and comfortable with all different types of cats, from those who take a long time to warm up to you, to super jumpy cats, to outgoing cats. I would love to care for and cuddle with your cat while you are away.
About: I've helped care for animals since my childhood. Recently, I cared for my senior dog, Ziggy, until his passing. Currently, I volunteer with Mountaineers 4 Mutts by cleaning cat kennels, socializing cats, and transporting animals. I currently work part-time and I enjoy caring for animals of my friends and family. I help out when I can and make sure their pets receive the best care. With my past pet Ziggy, I would always make sure he had water and food. I'd make sure he was comfortable and feeling alright. I made sure to take him out immediately when he let me know he had to go. Some days we went for walks and car rides, while other days we'd cuddle on the couch.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. From taking care of my own pets to helping others out with their pets, I love providing the pet care an owner needs help with and a pet needs. Growing up, I lived across the street from my great aunt who bred and showed Great Danes. From a young age I remember sitting and watching out the front window for my aunt to come home so I could call her and ask if I could come help her with her Danes. When I was 10 years old, I started my own dog walking/pet sitting business and I have helped numerous families out with their pets while they were out on vacation or just needed help getting their pets outside for some exercise. After college, I worked at a local pet store and have gotten a lot of experience with dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and birds. I also have helped care for horses over the years. I love hanging out with animals and spoiling them like I do with my own pets. I am comfortable taking care of multiple pets and fur babies of all sizes. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for full time or part time work. I am currently a stay at home mom, so my availability is fairly free, but it varies from week to week. I am pretty flexible and willing to work with your schedule. I let my pets out multiple times a day and take them on walks. I love to take my pets out on hikes as well.
About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a fenced yard, two kids, and two sweet schnauzer-poodles of our own, so dogs are already a big part of our daily life. Since I’m home during the day, I’m available to give your pup plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care throughout their stay. Our home is family- friendly, active, and full of love- but I do have a cozy, temperature controlled, sunroom with a door that can shut if they need a space of their own to relax. Your dog will have a safe fenced yard to explore and play in, plus lots of supervision and companionship. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll treat your dog like part of our family while they’re here. Whether your pup loves to play, snuggle, or just relax, we’re happy to welcome them into our home!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, having grown up with them my whole life, from senior dogs to playful puppies as young as 3 months old. I’m passionate about both cats and dogs and love taking them on runs or treating them to a sweet snack. Whether it's a leisurely walk or an active outing, I’m dedicated to providing fun, loving care for every pet I sit! I have classes until 3 PM most days, but I’m flexible and can adjust my schedule to accommodate pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m committed to providing reliable and loving care for your pets whenever you need me! I offer pet care primarily in my client’s home, as I prefer the pets to stay in their familiar environment. I have a fenced-in backyard, but since I live on a busier street, I find it’s often better for pets to be in a quieter, more comfortable space. If your pet is friendly, I also have a dog who loves to play and is very sweet. My home is safe, but for senior dogs, there are a few stairs, which I can work around to ensure their comfort. I’m flexible and always prioritize your pet’s safety and happiness!
About: I grew up with pets so I have been caring for dogs and cats my entire life. I have trained many dogs and currently am Mama to an 12 year old rescue beagle mix. My experience ranges through dogs of all sizes and ages. I grew up with a Shiba Inu that has seizures so I am prepared to care for animals with special needs. I offer dog walking, daycare, and drop ins. I work from home and my dog is very friendly and is great with all animals so there is no need to worry if you need daycare services. I look forward to caring for your animals. I work from home M-F from 8-5 so I’m available during that time for daycare or on my lunch hour for walks/drop Ins.

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.
About: My husband and I are both full time DNP students allowing us to be at home 6 days a week. We have cared for our 3 year old corgi together, but have both had family pets previously. We are skilled in medications administration and emergency care for your fur baby! This is a child free, cat free and smoke free home. Daisy, our corgi, loves to play and make new friends. We are currently full time DNP students that allows us to be at home full time Sunday through Thursday. We are awake from the hours of 6am until 10pm. Potty breaks are able to have every 2-4 hours. Feeding schedules are based on your fur baby’s needs, however our dog eats twice a day once at 6am and again at 6pm. In our neighborhood we have a walking path that we frequently walk our dog with a leash on. Our dog loves to play with other dogs. Our home is tidy and nothing is left on the floors or within reach that could harm an animal. Our house is not located near any high traffic roads. Our back yard is positioned against an open field. Unless your dog is highly trained with good recall skills, I will not let them run free in the backyard for fear of them running away. Dogs are family in our home!

About: I have cared for and been around dogs throughout my whole life. I have always had a passion for animals!

About: I have been around animals and taking care of them since I was a child. As a child my parents had cats that I would have to watch. As I got older both parents got dogs and I have had over 10 years experience with them. Currently I am a dog owner of 4 and a half years and couldn’t imagine life without him. I am currently enrolled in school online that does not have a set time to be in classes. This will allow me to attend to your pets at any moment they need it. I have a yard but not fence. This allows easy access to restroom breaks. I am happy to crate your dog if needed but always love to be able to have them roam. My house has plenty of space for playtime and my dog loves running around it especially with other dogs.

About: I’ve always loved animals. Growing up, my family had three dogs and a cat, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Now that I have my own dog, I truly understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to stick closely to their normal routine and preferences. Whether they’re energetic, shy, anxious, or just love lots of attention, I’ll make sure they feel secure and cared for the whole time you’re gone Pet care is a natural part of my daily life since I have my own dog and understand the routines, attention, and love pets need.

About: I've had experience with puppies to powdered sugar muzzles and from <10lbs to 100+! High energy or a friend who loves a nap, I'll do by best to help your dog have a good time even when you aren't there for the fun. I'm currently a graduate student on summer break with a pretty open schedule. I may pick up a more traditional hourly job on the side, but I'm excited for the opportunity to stay busy over the summer and meet some amazing people and pets while I do it. As I have pets of my own who are a bit easily stressed, I do not offer services where your pet will be in my home. However, I have no issues coming to you! In your home, I will be calm and respectful and don't mind cleaning up any messes your pet may have made.
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs, taking them on walks, stopping in to play with them, and overnight stays. Experience with puppies, older dogs, big, and small pups.

About: I don’t just watch dogs—I get to know them. Whether it’s helping puppies learn the ropes or giving senior pups slow, cozy care, I tailor every visit to what your dog actually needs. I’m patient, upbeat, and love turning training moments into fun games. I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs, energy level, and personality—because great care isn’t one-size-fits-all.

I also have holidays and summers off, which gives me plenty of flexible time for daytime walks, drop-ins, and longer stays when needed. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain a safe, structured environment by following your pet’s routine exactly as you outline it. In your home, I respect your space, secure doors and gates, and keep all food, treats, and cleaning supplies out of reach. I monitor pets closely during walks and use sturdy leashes and proper equipment. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.
About: I used to live and work on an animal sanctuary with all different kids of animals. I also worked as a professional dog walker and ive taken care of furry friends for many years.

About: Animals have been my love since a young age. Most of my career and volunteer work have been revolving around animals of different species.

I've worked at a pet store for a few years and a shelter, I as well have some experience at vet clinics. I also have experience with professional dog bathing. I myself have an assortment of different animals I take care of daily; ranging from cats, dogs, reptiles, and small animals. My goal is to help and educate pet parents when I can while making sure they're animals get the best care. Safety will always be my first priority every time. The well-being of your pet is very important to me. Knowledge about your pet, medicine and/or behavior wise, is a great way for me to stay alert on those certain concerns. Your pet will always be taken care of properly and made sure to stay in a safe happy environment.

I have two dogs, and my oldest is now 7 years old, so I understand the different needs that come with both younger and older dogs. I’m patient, responsible, and very in tune with dogs’ body language and emotional needs. I’m also experienced with basic training for puppies and attentive care for senior dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines to match their energy and health needs. I treat every dog like family and aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment tailored to each pet’s personality. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life since I have two dogs of my own. I’m used to planning my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them the attention they deserve. Adding care for other pets fits seamlessly into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and committed to making sure each pet gets the consistent care and love they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like medication or crate time. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. I also keep your home tidy and secure, and I’m happy to send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Megan did a fantastic job caring for Stevie. We had a thorough conversation beforehand about her needs, expectations, and what to bring, which immediately put me at ease. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay, and it was clear that Stevie was happy and well cared for. She absolutely loved spending time with Megan and her dogs, and I’m sure he’d be thrilled to stay with them again. It truly felt like leaving him with a trusted family member rather than a sitter.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sarah is caring and compassionate with us and our dog. She provides us updates on how our pet is adapting to his new environment. Our dog loves being with her pets. It’s like a play date for him.”
“Jen was awesome! Our doggie Noel had so much fun! I love that she kept us updated the whole time. She also works with you on drop off and pickup times, changes in schedules, etc. She helped make it a pleasant first experience for us and for Noel. Her home is a perfect setup. We couldn't have been happier. We highly recommend her for future clients. We will be using her in the future for sure.”
“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!!!”
“Lauren & Taylor did a wonderful job caring for my dog. They sent pictures and updates each day, took her for walks and she was a happy pup when we went to pick her up!!! Really appreciated them!!”
“Solar and his roommate Calvin are incredible. They took the best care of my senior dog who has a lot of special medical needs. I felt so comfortable with both of them watching him!”
“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!”
“Michelle & Luke provided my pup with the most loving, active, and safe environment! This was my very first experience with Rover and I had visited and been in contact with several other options before settling on this one. I’m SO glad I held out for the best- I can not say enough great things about Reina’s stay here. I received updates throughout my week with pictures of my pup. She had a great stay and I will use them again. 10/10”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
About: Ever since I was born I have grown up with dogs in my house. I also housesit for my friends, family and family friends all the time. I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to hang out with all your pets! I am also available on weekends. You do not have to have a fenced in yard. I can also take your dogs out on a leash if that’s what is needed.
About: I’ve taken care of my old chihuahua and my friends puppies and im comfortable taking care of every age in between! If your dog has any special needs, just let me know. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! My schedule varies, but I am usually available on weekends too! I have a fenced in yard, and I don’t have any of my own pets or children. Sometimes there are bunnies that run through the backyard, but they’re usually in and out.
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.
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.
“Allie was great. Easy communication and drop-off / pick-up. She stayed in touch with us with pictures and our dog seemed happy and content when we picked him up. I would definitely trust her again with my dog.”
