“Jessica is so wonderful with our goldendoodle puppy! He loves to see her and had a great stay with her for two nights. Thank you, Jessica, for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”
“We loved Megan and Alex! Our doggo did excellent with their pups - the daily updates were so cute. Definitely felt like we knew what he was up to when with them.”
“Jennifer S. is top-notch, 5 star across the board. She treated my pup like her own. I was given regular updates with pics and videos, and my pup got a chance to run around in a safe secure environment with other dogs, allowing her to play and make new friends. Jennifer’s place is clean, safe, cozy, and all dogs are screened for their vaccinations. Jen S., is a true professional and I thank her for taking care of my pup. I highly recommend Jen S and will be a return customer for sure.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Solar was very helpful and did a great job with our pup. She is very skittish but I I think she would have stayed there when we picked her up! He sent updates, pictures and even video at least once if not twice daily. Any questions I have had he was very quick to respond. Even recommendations for food since she doesn’t seem to like what we are feeding her. I definitely would feel confident using him again.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Sarah was the absolute best and took such good care of our dog Link! We could tell he had such a good time and was soooo well taken care of while we were gone for the week. We will always go to Sarah from now and appreciate her so much.”
“My girls loved being with McKayla and Christian. They sent multiple updates per day and sent them how with a couple fun extra items. I really feel like they took care of my babies.”
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: 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.
“This is the second time the dogs have went with Tiffany and each time she has had them she has only made me more positive that she is the ONLY dog sitter the dogs will have. She was able to watch the dogs at last minute, she picked them up, and dropped them back off. I can’t thank her enough for all that she does for the dogs and wouldn’t have anyone else! Thank you Tiffany!”

“McKenzie took wonderful care of our dog Nala while we were away for the weekend. She communicates well, responds quickly, and sends lots of pictures. Absolutely will be booking with her again for our further trips. You can trust that your fur babies are in excellent hands with her!!”
“Sammi has been absolutely wonderful with our young male cat, Smuckers. She has been more than accommodating and communicates perfectly! Our little guy is always happy to see her (and it’s not just because she spoils him LOL). We are very pleased to have Sammi as our cat sitter!”
“Skyler was fantastic, extremely flexible and was great with my cats, including giving oral medication every visit. Will be my go-to for cat care going forward. Cannot recommend enough!!”
“Alaska was wonderful! 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. My cat Pepper was in good hands with her! Would definitely recommend her to any pet owner :)”
About: My family has always had cats, we currently have 5. We’ve had kittens to seniors, rescues, sick cats, hyper cats that need extra playing time, cats that would prefer to be left alone, and cats that just need some extra love.
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: My big sister was a Dalmatian my mom had before I was even born. My first cat was at age 3. Since birth I have been around and cared for many different types of animals. They range from the dogs and cats in my family, my grandparents horses, to the various small, furry, AND scaly critters I've kept over the years. Currently have a dog, cats, fish/shrimp, a frog, a snake, and geckos! Let my love and encyclopedia of animal knowledge be used to your advantage!
About: I have taken care of cats since I was a teenager, and have my own cats since 2010. I love to play with them, cuddle with them, and give them a hairbrush every week. I helped my big boy cat lose 3 lbs in two years, he is much healthier now.
“Katy was great and did an excellent job of watching my cat Gaia while I was out of town for a few weeks. She communicated well, was thorough, shared pictures of Gaia and made sure everything was in order. I would definitely recommend her and have her watch my pets again!”
“Harley provided thorough daily updates and my cat loved her. She did everything I asked and more. I’ll definitely try to book her again next time we need somebody to drop by.”
“McKayla and Christian were great pet sitters! Our cats warmed up to both of them quickly. They gave us lots of updates during our trip and were extremely responsive to messages. They went above and beyond for our pets and I would definitely book them again. They even got them a Christmas gift.”
About: I’ve pet sat for cats many times over the years, and have lived with them for 3. I have experience giving basic care for them and have cared for older cats before. While I don’t have one of my own yet, I know how to care for them and respect their boundaries.
About: I’ve been a cat owner for nearly 8 years and currently care for my own cats at home. I also have experience giving medication, including caring for my little diabetic kitty, so I'm comfortable handling medication when needed! I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been helping my friends, coworkers, and rover clients with their puppers through dog sitting and walking for the past 11 years. They have relied on me to give oral medication, bathe, brush, walk, and play with their furry friends. I am available for nighttime stays! Your doggy will be loved to no end. Walks, cuddles, play time, and whatever they need! I will happily feed them, and give them any medications! I care for your fur babies, like you care for fur babies. I am adaptable to every animals routine, and provide loving care in the midst. Your dogs
“Alyssa was great! She was very quick to respond, good with my cats despite how shy and skiddish they were, and all around a great choice for drop in visits! Would absolutely recommend!”
“She was so good with my baby! Dora loved spending time with Cristyn and exploring the neighborhood. We support her in her career progression but we will miss her greatly in the afternoons!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ringgold
“Jessica did a wonderful job with Webster. She sent me videos and pics throughout the day and really made me feel at ease with having my puppy out of my care for the day. Thank you so much Jessica.”
“We could not have been happier. Megan was a super dog sitter. Traveling to the area from NY and needing someone to watch the pups so we could do a day of activities that weren't just for them... Megan was our first choice after reading her reviews and did NOT disappoint. Megan was receptive and communicative with us. Everything was on point. She sent photos of our pups not missing us at all. 2 Golden Retriever's had a great day. We were happy, they were happy, and Megan, we can't thank you enough. If we are ever in this area and needed a pup sitter there is NO DOUBT you would be our #1 choice!”

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: We both grew up around animals of all kinds. Our families always had a dog and a cat. we have cared for animals from Pomeranians to German shepherds. we love animals of all sort. You can trust us with your baby’s care! We are very flexible, especially when it comes to your baby’s care. Our morning schedules are pretty open, and if one of us is working, the other is off and ready to take care of your fluffy companion! We will treat your pet just like our family. Your animal will not get any less love than we give our own. You can trust us with the affection and care your furlove deserves.
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!
“Solar was amazing with Drako! He was very flexible and understanding with my last minute booking! I tend to get nervous with new sitters but I did not feel that at all! Will definitely be booking with Solar again!!”
About: A true animal lover, I will take care of your animals like they are my own. I have experience with giving oral medication, preparing food/water, cleaning animal areas, bathing, and more. Having my own animals, I know how important it is to others that the person spending time with your fur babies is genuine, kind, caring, and very thorough. I am nothing short of this when it comes to watching over your family members. I will spoil them with love and affection while keeping them safe at all times. Being raised on a farm, I have experience with many different types of animals including raising dogs and cats. I can assure you I will take great care of them as well as be the best playmate they could ask for! My husband is an animal whisperer as you’ll see in the photos! Safety, kindness, and love is what you will get with me. I work from home and my hours are flexible. I can work around your preferred schedule. Mornings, evenings, weekdays, weekends, 30 minutes, hr visits, boarding in my home… you name it and I will accommodate it. Every owner has a specific preference for how their animals are cared for and I will follow your requests exactly as you ask as well as go above and beyond to communicate with you on any and all needs of your animal. I have two kittens at home and plenty of space to board your animals if needed. My community is quiet and walkable and I have a large yard if needed. If I am coming to your home I will accommodate your requests and routines that you have in place. I have experience with manual and automatic food, water, and liter devices. I am CRP certified and have a vehicle to transport if ever an emergency required me to take them to the vet. My best friend is a vet and my husband is a doctor. You are in the best of hands with me!!

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

I want to meet all of your pets needs even in last minute circumstances so that their humans can enjoy a stress free experience! Traveling and unexpected situations can be difficult and I want to make sure your pet is comfortable. I’m familiar with caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I currently make my own work schedule and have extremely flexible days. I’m always willing to adjust when needed. I love all sizes and breeds so I can accommodate any energy level as well I have a very loving and super friendly puppy of my own who would love to keep your pet company! We go for lots of walks throughout the day and get lots of time outside. I have cats as well that are very friendly with dogs but they can also be kept away in their own space if need be!
About: You can trust me to care for your pets of any kind as well as your home just as if they are my own. I am a local dad that has the great fortune of managing my business from home. This leaves me plenty of time to take care of my newest family member, Casey!! We especially love golden retrievers and labradors. And of course all others Woff .as Casey continues to train daily to be a service dog.she's our special one she loves hosting After suffering the loss of our beloved chocolate lab Marley this past June, we decide to immediately get a new pup. The silence and her amazing presence was way to tough on our family to live without. We now have Casey!! Casey is our brand-new golden retriever puppy! She is now 1 year 7 monthss old and is always looking for and delighted to meet the newest visitor that will become her new buddy. I put my time and devoted energy into my family, my work and my animals, which are my passion. Our favorite place to go is Royal Lake in Fairfax but we do daily walks in our neighborhood throughout the day as well as Burke Lake. Burke Lake is a nice place but can get overcrowded so we tend to steer toward Lake Royal, it’s a really a serene place with plenty of wildlife and good smells! I am flexible with scheduling and have no problem with last minute requests. Your dogs will have full access to my home on couches and beds if you choose. They will live as my Casey does… perhaps a bit spoiled. ;-). My aim is to have a dog friend or two over for a safe place where your pup can come and not be caged while you are gone. Casey needs the exercise but more than anything she wants friends! I am not looking to run a dog hotel, just a family environment with a loving atmosphere. Because of my job I cannot leave during the day for long periods of time so your pup will be by my side most of the time during my care. I feel that exercise is key to good behavior so I try to make sure the dogs in my care will come home tired, loved and happy! I look forward to caring for your loved ones! we specialize in loveas Casey continue her training as a service dog. She loves meeting new friends and basically it's a doggy bed and breakfast with more love and harmony.she loves hosting.
“Went to Fairmont for work and didn't want to leave my pup at daycare in DC for so long. Tracey was AMAZING!!! I may be the biggest worrier on the planet, but she put my mind at ease within an hour. Got so many pictures and videos of all the pups playing and eventually being worn out. Even learned that mine likes cats (I had a suspicion). I wish Tracey and I lived closer so we could visit more often. She would definitely be my go-to! If she's available next time we're near Morgantown/Fairmont, we'll be back. Thanks Tracey!!!”

If they love making friends, my cats will keep them busy.

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.

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 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: I have had dogs since I was a baby. I grew up around them and I have loved working with animals ever since! I have always had multiple dogs at a time and have tended to each of their needs throughly and I am hoping I can continue doing the same with your furry friends! I have worked in the pet care industry professionally for 2 years with boarding, daycare and bathing services. I offer a wide range of experience from young puppies and kittens to senior pet care. I do have a full time job from March-November that is an hour drive, I will try to make room for clients always, but it is not 100% guaranteed Drop ins or walks: Will make sure your furry friend will use the bathroom multiple times before I leave for the day, make sure drinking water is accessible with the hot summer months, or if pet requires a feeding during the time, and all the pets and toys they deserve.

“We loved Megan and Alex! Our doggo did excellent with their pups - the daily updates were so cute. Definitely felt like we knew what he was up to when with them.”
“Jennifer S. is top-notch, 5 star across the board. She treated my pup like her own. I was given regular updates with pics and videos, and my pup got a chance to run around in a safe secure environment with other dogs, allowing her to play and make new friends. Jennifer’s place is clean, safe, cozy, and all dogs are screened for their vaccinations. Jen S., is a true professional and I thank her for taking care of my pup. I highly recommend Jen S and will be a return customer for sure.”
“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.”
“Solar was very helpful and did a great job with our pup. She is very skittish but I I think she would have stayed there when we picked her up! He sent updates, pictures and even video at least once if not twice daily. Any questions I have had he was very quick to respond. Even recommendations for food since she doesn’t seem to like what we are feeding her. I definitely would feel confident using him again.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Sarah was the absolute best and took such good care of our dog Link! We could tell he had such a good time and was soooo well taken care of while we were gone for the week. We will always go to Sarah from now and appreciate her so much.”

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.

“This is the second time the dogs have went with Tiffany and each time she has had them she has only made me more positive that she is the ONLY dog sitter the dogs will have. She was able to watch the dogs at last minute, she picked them up, and dropped them back off. I can’t thank her enough for all that she does for the dogs and wouldn’t have anyone else! Thank you Tiffany!”
About: New to Rover, but not new to dog sitting :) I have several years of experience taking care of dogs, of all ages & breeds! I moved from Maine to WV and now have the time to be a dog sitter again! My overall love for animals and the ability to connect with them, makes me a safe and reliable sitter for your pup :) We have two open acres of grass for your dog to run around and play and a large tile floor sun room (with AC) for them to stay. My Great Dane stays in the sunroom in a playpen when she isn’t playing with chipmunks outside! If you prefer your dog to be on leash when outside-no problem! I can accommodate to your dogs’ needs! I have a 9 yr old female Great Dane who is real sweet & fully trained to my commands. She stays in a playpen in the AC, tiled sunroom with your pup. Your pup will have the one-on-one care that he/she needs while you are away. Fresh water will always be present :) My main goal is to keep every dog I care for safe & happy!
“Brody had a great time staying with Allie! She sent lots of pictures throughout the weekend and made sure to check before getting him a pup cup or taking him to meet other dogs. We would definitely have Brody stay with Allie again!”
“Seilia was amazing. She kept me updated on when Apollo was let out and sent photos of my angel. She was incredibly accommodating and understanding. Apollo can be a little skiddish and she took this into account and continued to make sure he was comfortable and loved and cared for. I highly recommend and would definitely book again in the future”
