“I had confidence when I left my dogs with Tracy. Lots of experience, very dog friendly home full of dogs and dog lovers. I would definitely recommend Tracy to anyone.”

About: I have experience with an array of animals. I have personally owned Dobermans, Shih Tzus, a husky, and French Bulldogs! Over the past 3 years I have begun fostering and helping a bit in rescuing kittens and a few litters of stray dogs! Taking care of and helping animals is a true passion of mine! I am currently enrolled in hybrid college. I spend another portion of my time on the farm taking care of things that need done! With my schedule being flexible I have availability to adjust when needed for animal care duties! We have a property of about 46 acres with an electric fence for the horses and a gate. The animals would be housed in the home. Outside activity would vary based off of the animals specific needs! Dogs would be outside at least 5x a day!

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. My neighborhood frequently go to me when they need a dog/cat sitter for a week and I'm used to going over as many times as needed. I'm patient and have had puppies growing up. This job is exciting for me because I genuinely love and care for all animals. I find that they brighten my day and I'm prepared to help my community take care of their pets. I'm about to graduate and have plenty of free time throughout my weekdays and weekends that I'm not out of town for soccer. I'll have lots of flexible times so I'm confident my schedule will work for many. I have a golden doodle named Stanley that loves to play and run around my yard he is a friendly giant that my neighborhood has all come to love. He loves walks and going for car rides.

“Our dogs loved their weekend away from home with Skye. They were very well taken care of and didn’t want to come home. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life and have taken care of pets and livestock my whole life. Over the past years, I have taken care of neighbors, friends, and family member’s dogs/cats. I have two dogs myself, a 4 year old red heeler and a 13 week old red heeler/corgi (cowboy corgi). I grew up with Labrador retrievers and a Great Pyrenees/Catahoula Leopard mix. I am used to and comfortable with all sizes and ages of dogs! I am originally from South Dakota and am now in Gallia County with my boyfriend who is from here. I am an online college student who is double majoring in Ag-Finance & Business Accounting. I farm with my boyfriend while completing my schooling online, so I have flexibility in my schedule! I do not live right on the road, and there is lots of room for your fur babies to run around and get exercise! The yard is not fenced in, but I am always outside when the dogs are! I have various sizes of wire kennels available if they need to be caged inside, and also have large kennels outside with shade over top of them. There are horses on the property with pasture room, so I always supervise the dogs in case they get too close. The horses have never tried to stomp or go after any dogs before.

“Perfect fit! After adopting a dog who has some reactivity, I was worried I wouldn’t find someone to watch her and the rest of our crew (4 cats, a rabbit, and chickens) when we went on vacation. Julie put me at ease from the moment I met her and assured me she and Sasha would become friends. She did a long visit before I left and was there when we left. She let Sasha come to her and they quickly became friends. I am so thankful we found Julie. I will 100% use her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter.”

“Skye is absolutely the best in-home pet sitter we have ever used to care for our two Ragdolls. Her communication throughout our absence is excellent, with frequent updates and photos. The cats are both happy and healthy when we return home and the house is just as clean as when we left. We highly recommend Skye's wonderful service.”

About: I have 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I also run a nonprofit animal sanctuary, so animal care is a major part of my everyday life. I have experience with rescue animals, seniors, shy and anxious pets, medication routines, mobility limitations, and animals who simply need a little more patience and understanding. Senior and special-needs pets are especially welcome. I’m comfortable helping with stairs, mobility support, medications, slower-paced walks, and adjusting care to whatever helps your pet feel safest and most comfortable. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets plenty of supervision, companionship, enrichment, and one-on-one attention rather than being left alone for long stretches. Most importantly, I treat every animal as an individual and try to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible while they’re in my care. I’m home full-time and animal care is already a major part of my daily routine through my nonprofit sanctuary and rescue. That gives me a very flexible schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Safety and comfort always come first. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take introductions slowly when other animals are involved. I’m experienced with rescue animals, seniors, anxious pets, and animals who need extra supervision or their own space. I’m also comfortable with medications, mobility assistance, crates, gates, and keeping pets safely separated when needed.

“Skye took great care of my dog, Brady, while I had drill for a few days. She sent me pictures everyday and kept me well-informed about how he was doing. Definitely would recommend!”

“Nicole was amazing per usual! Dingo is always so excited to see her and he always returns well-exercized!”

About: Use code: SKYEK54783 for $10 off your first booking! Hello, my name is Skye Kinser. I’m twenty-nine years old & grew up on an animal farm in West Virginia. I’ve helped my parents raise horses, goats, cows, llamas, guineas, chickens, cats, and dogs. I currently have a dog named Scout who is a Border Collie/Lab mix. I’m a recent graduate from Marshall University and I double majored in Business Administration and Marketing. I work from home full-time. I’ve been working for Rover since August 2018. I’ve taken care of several friend’s and client’s pets. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets during a single booking including cats, rabbits, etc. During the stay, I’m always available to communicate with you & send pictures/videos of your pet. I’m very patient, friendly, professional, have a good, positive attitude and have passed a background check and drug test. If you’d like a reference, I’d be more than happy to provide one from a previous/current employer, professor, or client. I’m completely open to a meet and greet. I’m hoping to meet pets and their owners in the community and build a relationship with each of you. I work from home full-time as an Account Manager, so I'll be available the majority of the day to care for your pet and provide updates to you. I have a outdoor fence available and have a Border Collie/Lab mix to keep your pup company. I'm always available for an update at your preference.
