“You will never find anywhere a sweeter, more kind caregiver for your furbaby than Brenda. She is so much more now to Ruby and myself. SHE IS OUR FRIEND. Ruby’s “stay-cations” are as relaxing and fun for her as my trips are for me. WIN WIN. How often does that happen in life??!! Thank you Brenda for peace of mind.♥️♥️”

“This was our first experience with Rover, and Stephanie and her family went above and beyond our expectations! Daily updates and pictures were greatly appreciated! We have already booked another stay with them.”

“Kayla did an amazing job taking care of my dog Pearl. Communication was great, I received plenty of updates as well as pictures and videos during Pearl's stay. My dog can be anxious, and Kayla was very patient and accommodating of her behavior.”


“She kept us updated on Iris all weekend and was super flexible with a last minute reservation. We could tell from the pictures Iris was getting all the love and attention she wanted while with her!”


About: As a lifelong dog owner, caring for pups is second nature to me. I know exactly how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I prioritize clear communication, frequent updates, and plenty of personalized attention. From daily walks and interactive playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to match your dog's specific personality and energy level. I look forward to treating your beloved pet like a member of my own family. I currently stay at Home so I am available any time of the day. This allows me to easily accommodate custom feeding, walking, and medication schedules. I have a small yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My yard is not fenced, so I always take guests on guided walks and trips to the local park for secure, energetic exercise. My pet is a miniature poodle who loves to play and cuddle. For bedtime, guests can sleep comfortably right in my bedroom or use a dedicated spare room depending on their routine.
“Willis was great with our dog, he updated us frequently with pictures and made sure our little guy was comfortable and safe. Winter seemed to have a great time there, and warmed up to Willis and his home quickly. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“Melissa took care of my pup for a week, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was friendly and easy to communicate with. I could tell right away that she really loves animals. Every day, she sent me the cutest pictures and videos, which made me feel so relaxed knowing my dog was happy, safe, and having a blast. It felt like he got treated just like one of her own — lots of love, attention, and playtime. When I picked him up, he was so calm and clearly had an awesome time with her. And as a sweet bonus, she even gave me the cutest little gift when I came to get him. I’d highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks so much, Melissa!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have hands-on experience with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ pets while they’re out of town, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be home in the evenings and on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent pet care. I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special routines your pet needs. Because my time outside of school is flexible and dependable, I can give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I provide loving, hands-on care tailored to each pet’s needs. At home, I have two cats and a dog, so I’m very familiar with balancing playtime, exercise, and daily routines. I make sure my pets get plenty of attention and enrichment through play, and I walk my dog multiple times a day to keep him happy and healthy. I bring the same level of care, patience, and dedication to every pet I look after, treating them as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have four large dogs – three of my own and one foster. I also volunteer with local animal rescues and spend many Fridays at the Dog Pound, giving all the animals love, walks, vaccinations, and sometimes even a trip to my home (I’m always joking that I’m one dog away from a divorce – but he knew what he was getting into!) Joining the Rover community lets me share my passion for caring with other pet owners. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’m here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ll make sure they’re happy, well cared for, and keep you updated with plenty of pictures to give you peace of mind! I’m currently staying home with my babies so I will have plenty of time to love yours! Don’t be afraid to ask about my schedule! I have a full fenced in yard. Two of my dogs are inside. One roams freely during the day with a doggy door to the outside fenced in yard. One is kenneled during the day. Both are kenneled at night. One is outside full time (unless it’s freezing cold and I have to force him inside). I also have one large kennel outside where my foster dog stays most of the time. All dogs are up to date on vaccines and receive monthly flea tick and heart guard meds. As for your home, I’m up for a meet and greet depending on what you need!
“Thank you Pat for being such a great pet sitter for Chance. Pat shared pictures daily and messaged me about how he was doing. She took him for walks multiple times that he absolutely loves. Since he is a senior, I have a strict diet schedule for him and she was so good about following it. Chance seemed so happy with her. I’m looking forward to having Chance stay with Pat again when I have to be out of town soon.”

“Our dogs Harley and Matey really enjoyed being with Patti and Toby. They played. , ran in the fenced yard, and slept in her bed. She is a wonderful person to have on the rover team. Will definitely be using her again when in the area. Thanks again Patti.”

“Summer did a great job with the my dogs. She has cats and dogs of her own and my dogs were so interested in their new friends that they almost didn't notice me leaving. I'll definitely use her again!”

“Josie was a great sitter for Jersey. She is a caring provider, and for sure it shows by the way her fur babies look at her so lovingly. She was very attentive and reaponsive. I would absolutely use her services again!”


“Brandi was an awesome hostess for my senior citizen black lab Molly. She sent me daily pictures and got Molly outside for walks in the neighborhood often. I highly recommend her services!”

“We dropped of our whippet and pointer for overnight stay and they did great. Christy kept me updated on how they were settling in through their stay. My pointer loves her so much that he was barking and scratching his kennel when We were leaving. I thought he had to potty, so I stopped to let him out and as soon as we took off again he started fighting to get out of his kennel and see christy. We will definitely us Christy again”

“Clara was absolutely wonderful! She kept our cats happy and relaxed while we were away and sent regular updates with photos that made us feel at ease. When we got home, everything was spotless, and it was clear the cats had been well loved. Her communication was prompt and kind throughout, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We’d happily have her sit for us again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy house and pet sitter!”


“We had such a great experience with Destiny and Ben as our house and cat sitters through Rover! They were incredibly kind, thorough, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. They sent thoughtful updates while we were away, which made such a difference and gave us so much peace of mind. It’s not easy leaving your home and pets, but they made us feel completely comfortable knowing everything was in such good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a house just as we left it. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters!”


“Jackie is our family’s go-to! She’s kind, communicative, and so good with our furry family—even the very fussy chihuahua mix who runs the show. I can’t suggest or thank her enough.”


About: I’ve had cats my entire life and am very comfortable caring for their unique personalities and needs. I have experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving cats the patience and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and stress-free, especially when their owners are away, and I always respect their routines and boundaries. Whether your cat is playful or prefers quiet companionship, I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved.

About: Lifelong pet lover with 10 plus years experience in various Animal Care settings from farm, to boarding, to medical! Looking for flexible ways to get back to the work I loved for so long! As an artist I have a pretty flexible schedule with slow points throughout the year, looking to make some solid connections and grow an extended fur family to add to my easy going lifestyle. Pets staying with me will get the same loving care and attention as my own spoiled critters receive! But maybe a little extra since they are guests!
About: Hi, my name is Riley and I absolutely love dogs, so I decided to join Rover! I do have two dogs of my own, and they love making new friends. Because of my two boys, I have learned so much about what it takes to provide a happy, healthy life for a dog. From walks, to fetch, and even to just laying around getting belly rubs, I always do what I can to make dogs happy and get their tails wagging! I have a house with a big fenced in yard, and a doggy door that is open at all times to access the outside whenever! My dogs LOVE it, because they can play all day, but can come in for a power nap when they want, too. My boys and I look forward to making a new fur friend! I work Monday-Friday, 7:30-5pm. I am fortunate to have flexibility to telework, however, so I am able to be home throughout the day when necessary! I have a doggy door, as well as a fenced in yard so that the pups are able to roam freely and go outside when needed. I’m also able to crate pups, if requested, as I have 2 extra large crates!

About: I specialize in cats and understand that many cats are far more comfortable staying in their own home while their owners are away. I’ve cared for and managed a colony of 22 cats since 2024, including coordinating TNR (trap-neuter-return), socialization, medical observation, and placement of 19 kittens into homes. Through this experience, I’ve become very knowledgeable about feline behavior, feeding routines, litter maintenance, health monitoring, and working with shy, anxious, independent, or timid cats. I respect each cat’s individual comfort level and temperament and do not force interaction. My goal is to provide calm, reliable care that helps your cats feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

About: I have owned cats my entire life. I have rescued, fostered and cared for cats since I was little. I am also a clean freak so you know I’ll make sure the room is clean before I leave.
About: My passion and love for animals began at a very early age. I decided to pursue that passion professionally wise. I currently work as a surgical veterinary assistant and it’s my passion. I work well in high intensity situations and calm ones too. I am certified in Veterinary Emergency and Critical care, and certified in Fear Free. I am currently in school to become a Veterinary Technician as well! I currently am not working so I have a lot of free time and I am very flexible with working with your schedule for your fur babies! Being a fear free provider is very important to me. I do everything to make sure your animal is comfortable. I will always keep myself and furry friends safe. I am willing to accommodate to owners needs for their pets. My priority is to keep your pet happy and safe!
About: I had a dog that had a liver shunt and I kept him going with medication and good loving care. He lived to be 10 years old which my vet normally they don’t live past 5 years old. I am a retired banker and it’s always been my dream to be a pet sitter. I have some back issues so I would only be able to take care of small pets up to 20 pounds. Also I would prefer that the owner of the animal have a fenced in yard as I am not able to walk long distances. I prefer to keep your pet in the owners home where the animal feels more secure and safe. I am free to stay with your pet as long as needed.

About: 🏡 NEW: Personalized Boarding Available! (See Details At The End!!) We got into pet care together because helping animals has always been a shared passion; it’s something that brought us closer and now it’s something we get to do side by side while helping our community 🥹 We currently foster for the Kanawha Charleston Shelter and another local rescue, help with TNR in our area, rehome strays, and love to spoil our own little crew of rescues! Over the years, we’ve cared for dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, reptiles, rabbits, rats, and even birds! We’re especially comfortable with pets who need a little extra patience, like shy rescues, semi-ferals, and senior animals! 🐕🦺 We have hands-on experience with: • Medications (oral, topical, injectable like insulin) • Anxious or reactive behavior • Special diets and tricky routines • Post-op and long-term medical needs • Livestock Friends! We're also active in the rescue world currently supporting fundraising, marketing, and networking for Krazie Ladies Animal Rescue, and jumping in when people in our community need help with lost pets or urgent rehoming! This isn’t just a side gig for us... it’s something we truly love doing together! If you’d like to see more of the happy pets we’ve cared for (and a peek at us in action), check out our Facebook page: Almost Heaven Critter Care WV 🐾 We’d be happy to help you and your pets have a stress-free, love-filled, judgement-free experience while you’re away! 🏡 NEW: Personalized Boarding Available! We've recently renovated our attached brick garage into a dedicated boarding space designed to provide a safe, comfortable, low-stress environment for your pets. Unlike many boarding facilities, we only board one family's pets at a time. Whether you have one dog, multiple dogs, dogs and cats together or just cats, your family will be our only boarding guests during their stay! This allows us to provide more individualized care while reducing stress and eliminating interactions with unfamiliar animals. Each guest has access to a spacious 8' x 6' x 4' kennel, but they're not required to stay inside it. The kennel can remain open, giving them the option to relax in their own secure space or enjoy the larger boarding area. Comfortable bedding, including a traditional dog bed and raised cooling cot, is provided! Someone is almost always home, and we work remotely, allowing for frequent interaction, supervision, and additional attention for pets who need it. Security cameras are also in place throughout the boarding area and outside our home for added safety and peace of mind! We provide treats, enrichment, and natural chews (with owner approval) and do our best to follow your pet's normal routine. Whether they have a specific feeding schedule, medication schedule, bedtime routine, or exercise preferences, we'll work to keep things as familiar as possible! Dogs have access to a fenced outdoor exercise area and can enjoy leashed walks around our property, including our creek area. Our typical boarding routine runs from approximately 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, though we're happy to accommodate reasonable adjustments whenever possible! We do have our own dogs and cats at home. All of our pets are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and well cared for. For everyone's safety, boarding guests will not interact with our personal pets, though they may occasionally hear our dogs barking from elsewhere on the property. 🐱 Cat Boarding Available! Cats are welcome too! Whether your cat is social, shy, senior, or requires medication, we'll provide a quiet, secure environment tailored to their needs while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible! If we don't have fosters at the time, your kitties are welcome to stay in the home as well! Either in their own room, or if they're friendly with other animals, they're welcome to explore the whole house! We both work from home, so our days naturally revolve around the animals we care for; ours and yours! That means we’re super flexible with visits throughout the day, whether it’s a quick morning potty break, midday meds, or evening playtime. Caring for animals is already part of our daily life. We foster and volunteer locally, so working around feeding schedules, quirky behaviors, and special routines is second nature. You can count on us to show up on time and treat your pets like they’re part of the family! Weekend availability included... just reach out and let’s chat about what you need! 📅 We kindly ask for 3 days' notice for all bookings and cancellations so we can plan our calendar and make sure we’re giving every pet the time and care they deserve 💛 When we’re in your home, we treat it with the same care and respect we’d want for our own! We always follow your instructions to the T; whether that’s feed times, locked doors or quirky pet routine... We will always keep your space clean, calm, and secure before we leave! We’re happy to work with homes that use security systems or indoor cameras, and we’ll always communicate clearly about access (keys, codes, etc.) so everyone feels comfortable! After each visit, you’ll get a photo or two and a quick update so you’re never left wondering how things went!! If your pets have any medical needs, special diets, triggers, or unique behaviors, we’ll ask about those ahead of time so we can handle everything confidently! We’ve worked with nervous pets, escape artists, and even semi-ferals... so nothing surprises us! We know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and into your pet’s routine, and we don’t take that lightly! ❤️
“I will definitely be calling Patricia again! As a first time Rover user, she was really great. She ended up being within walking distance from our home. Love the pictures she sent to let me know how our Queenie was doing. She took her on walks and was very understanding of Queenie's preferences.”

“Allysa was wonderful with my dog, Buddy. She even loved on my two cats. Allysa was dependable and communicated with me. I will definitely be a repeat customer for Allysa.”
“On time to the minute. So patient with my very confused dog (she’s never been walked by anyone else but me). Would recommend highly and I’m a nut about who I trust my dog with”

“Destiny and Benjamin did an amazing job with our difficult little dog. We only needed help for a few days and they were able to meet with us last minute and agreed to help us out. Our dog is little but she is pretty shy and becomes protective of our home. They were still able to get her to go outside for a potty break, which is all we really needed, but they even got her to go to the park and play fetch for awhile! That is an amazing feat for strangers with our dog. We are so grateful for their help and would highly recommend them!”

I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ pets while they’re out of town, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be home in the evenings and on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent pet care. I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special routines your pet needs. Because my time outside of school is flexible and dependable, I can give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I provide loving, hands-on care tailored to each pet’s needs. At home, I have two cats and a dog, so I’m very familiar with balancing playtime, exercise, and daily routines. I make sure my pets get plenty of attention and enrichment through play, and I walk my dog multiple times a day to keep him happy and healthy. I bring the same level of care, patience, and dedication to every pet I look after, treating them as if they were my own.

About: Hi, my name is Riley and I absolutely love dogs, so I decided to join Rover! I do have two dogs of my own, and they love making new friends. Because of my two boys, I have learned so much about what it takes to provide a happy, healthy life for a dog. From walks, to fetch, and even to just laying around getting belly rubs, I always do what I can to make dogs happy and get their tails wagging! I have a house with a big fenced in yard, and a doggy door that is open at all times to access the outside whenever! My dogs LOVE it, because they can play all day, but can come in for a power nap when they want, too. My boys and I look forward to making a new fur friend! I work Monday-Friday, 7:30-5pm. I am fortunate to have flexibility to telework, however, so I am able to be home throughout the day when necessary! I have a doggy door, as well as a fenced in yard so that the pups are able to roam freely and go outside when needed. I’m also able to crate pups, if requested, as I have 2 extra large crates!

“This was our first experience with Rover, and Stephanie and her family went above and beyond our expectations! Daily updates and pictures were greatly appreciated! We have already booked another stay with them.”

“Kayla did an amazing job taking care of my dog Pearl. Communication was great, I received plenty of updates as well as pictures and videos during Pearl's stay. My dog can be anxious, and Kayla was very patient and accommodating of her behavior.”


“She kept us updated on Iris all weekend and was super flexible with a last minute reservation. We could tell from the pictures Iris was getting all the love and attention she wanted while with her!”


About: As a lifelong dog owner, caring for pups is second nature to me. I know exactly how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I prioritize clear communication, frequent updates, and plenty of personalized attention. From daily walks and interactive playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to match your dog's specific personality and energy level. I look forward to treating your beloved pet like a member of my own family. I currently stay at Home so I am available any time of the day. This allows me to easily accommodate custom feeding, walking, and medication schedules. I have a small yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My yard is not fenced, so I always take guests on guided walks and trips to the local park for secure, energetic exercise. My pet is a miniature poodle who loves to play and cuddle. For bedtime, guests can sleep comfortably right in my bedroom or use a dedicated spare room depending on their routine.
“Willis was great with our dog, he updated us frequently with pictures and made sure our little guy was comfortable and safe. Winter seemed to have a great time there, and warmed up to Willis and his home quickly. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“Melissa took care of my pup for a week, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was friendly and easy to communicate with. I could tell right away that she really loves animals. Every day, she sent me the cutest pictures and videos, which made me feel so relaxed knowing my dog was happy, safe, and having a blast. It felt like he got treated just like one of her own — lots of love, attention, and playtime. When I picked him up, he was so calm and clearly had an awesome time with her. And as a sweet bonus, she even gave me the cutest little gift when I came to get him. I’d highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks so much, Melissa!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have four large dogs – three of my own and one foster. I also volunteer with local animal rescues and spend many Fridays at the Dog Pound, giving all the animals love, walks, vaccinations, and sometimes even a trip to my home (I’m always joking that I’m one dog away from a divorce – but he knew what he was getting into!) Joining the Rover community lets me share my passion for caring with other pet owners. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’m here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ll make sure they’re happy, well cared for, and keep you updated with plenty of pictures to give you peace of mind! I’m currently staying home with my babies so I will have plenty of time to love yours! Don’t be afraid to ask about my schedule! I have a full fenced in yard. Two of my dogs are inside. One roams freely during the day with a doggy door to the outside fenced in yard. One is kenneled during the day. Both are kenneled at night. One is outside full time (unless it’s freezing cold and I have to force him inside). I also have one large kennel outside where my foster dog stays most of the time. All dogs are up to date on vaccines and receive monthly flea tick and heart guard meds. As for your home, I’m up for a meet and greet depending on what you need!
“Thank you Pat for being such a great pet sitter for Chance. Pat shared pictures daily and messaged me about how he was doing. She took him for walks multiple times that he absolutely loves. Since he is a senior, I have a strict diet schedule for him and she was so good about following it. Chance seemed so happy with her. I’m looking forward to having Chance stay with Pat again when I have to be out of town soon.”

“Summer did a great job with the my dogs. She has cats and dogs of her own and my dogs were so interested in their new friends that they almost didn't notice me leaving. I'll definitely use her again!”

“Josie was a great sitter for Jersey. She is a caring provider, and for sure it shows by the way her fur babies look at her so lovingly. She was very attentive and reaponsive. I would absolutely use her services again!”

“We dropped of our whippet and pointer for overnight stay and they did great. Christy kept me updated on how they were settling in through their stay. My pointer loves her so much that he was barking and scratching his kennel when We were leaving. I thought he had to potty, so I stopped to let him out and as soon as we took off again he started fighting to get out of his kennel and see christy. We will definitely us Christy again”

“We will be back ! Back yard was perfect for my energetic dog ! Area in her home was perfect for our elderly dog . So nice to leave town without a worry ! Thank you Samantha!”
