“I am so happy to have found an awesome place for my pup to stay when we are out of town! I felt totally comfortable that she was in good hands, safe and happy. Kayla sent me lots of pics and videos of my dog making herself right at home. I'd definitely use Kayla again!”
“Stephanie and her family are wonderful with Luna. She always sends me sweet photos and Luna, who can be scared of new places, is always happy to be there. She recognizes the street and when we pull up is always excited. They also have a large fenced yard which is a big perk.”
“Brenda is wonderful and attentive to scout. I love leaving him with her and I have a lot of trust and confidence in her to make sure he is ok when I am away. I would recommend her!”
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! ❤️
“Charlene was great! She has a nice fenced backyard and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular updates and photos during my time away. I will definitely consider using Charlene again for my dog boarding needs.”
“Sent a bunch of pictures and made things so much easier for an anxious dog dad leaving his furry lady with someone for a week. Definitely will be going with her again my next vacation.”
“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!”
About: I currently have certification in K9 first aid & cpr, 2 dog grooming certifications, and proper sanitation and storage. If you’re looking for somewhere that won’t cage your dog full-time. Whom also works with animals for a living look no farther!! I also bath doggies for an extra charge just ask! I currently run my own business (Dog Grooming) in my own home so I will constantly be with your doggy and have tons of experience! Although I don’t have a fenced in yard. I have a very safe and friendly neighborhood I can walk your doggie in. I also have a small fenced section in my yard. Dogs can either sleep in a cage or with me in bed, whichever they’re more comfortable with.
“Patricia was amazing with our two goldens! She treated them like they were her own, even managing daily medicines and playing with them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent pictures to update us daily on how they were doing! We will definitely be contacting Patricia for sitter needs in the future!”
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.
“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: 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.
“Brandi was amazing with our dog! She kept us updated with daily photos and it was clear that our dog was taken well care of and was having fun! We will definitely be using her in the future! :)”
“I was thoroughly impressed with her care for Zeus. I would highly recommend her to other pet owners. I was gone for a about a week and I knew he was in good hands with her. She also answered quickly and was very accommodating. Thank you from me and Zeus Olivia!”
About: I’ve mostly worked as an RN but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!
“Very nice and understanding! I had my flight cancelled and Josie was very sweet about it and was willing to watch the dogs even longer then expected. Will be booking her again for my next trip. The dogs had a lot of fun and clearly were well taken care of.”
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!
“Patti has taken care of our two fur babies twice now and we are very happy with her services. Our boys seem to really like Patti and they seem to enjoy their visits. From the pictures Patti sent us while watching our boys, the yard and patio seem perfect for small dogs without the worry of their escape. Believe me our Yorkie is an escape artist and staying with Patti we have no worries. We look forward to our next trip and booking our boy’s stay with Patti. Lynn & Denny Harley & Matey”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life for friends and family. My fur babies are back home with my parents. After college, I moved from LA to WV. This app allows me to get my dose of puppy/kitty loving!! Working full time with breaks to go home as needed. Your babies will be well looked after regardless of the type of care chosen (walks, overnight stays, etc.) I live in a safe neighborhood with several neighborhood pets. While my backyard is not fenced in, I will make sure your babies are on a leash and watched closely!

“Stephanie took care of my two kitties, snake and plants while I was on an extended weekend. At every visit, she gave me a full update and tons of pictures so I could see what was going on while I was away. She played with and cuddled my kitties, and left my home in better shape than it was when I left for vacation. She was kind and professional every step of the way, from first contact to meet and greet to the final visit. Highly recommend her as a sitter and would definitely hire again.”
“Kristan is very reliable and loved by our two cats. Also, we always receive great pictures of our cats while we are gone, which is very much appreciated. We highly recommend Kristan!”
“Devin and Alexis went way, way beyond what was expected. If one of their goals is not to leave a footprint in the house (evidence that they had stayed in the house), then they exceeded expectations. And what a relief knowing that my cat was being treated exactly the way I wanted. That is of utmost importance. 5 stars plus. Thank you Devin and Alexis. See you next time, for sure.”
“Destiney and Ben are dreams to have care for your fur children. Very attentive, constant and consistent updates, very personal and professional, and supply many photos! Also very responsive to schedule changes and changes in the care my cats need (both of my cats have medical conditions, one has a prescription diet and needs medication). If I could give greater than five stars I would. Will definitely book again in the future”
“We loved working with Carlee and will definitely use her again! She took excellent care of our Minnie while we were away and gave the best updates so we knew exactly how miss Minnie was doing. Carlee was professional, thorough, and so kind! Thank you, Carlee!”
About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. When I was in college I became the go to pet sitter to watch my friends and family pets for years. Because I am a bit of a stronger person, my friends know that I can handle some of their bigger dogs tugging on the leash. Also, with my beard, dogs think I am one of them. I am currently a remote worker and I can take as much time as I need to take care, play, walk, feed or whatever the client needs. Because I am a big lug myself, I allow pets to have fun and be happy loving animals. I give off alpha dog energy and dogs will understand the deep serious tone in my voice, but will also respect me after I give them lots of love and treats.
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.
“I really appreciate Allysa being able to help me out in a pinch. The cats look well cared for, the litter boxes were taken care of, and she let me know every day when she was going to the house. Thank you from pearl, olive, brown, and Theo!”

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: 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 am down for a kitten or kat. I love watching them make biscuits at their biscuit factory. Hehe. I would be overjoyed to watch your kitten or cat since I am trying to eventually get a couple of my own.

“Brenda is so considerate and understanding. She treats Scout like he is her own pup. I never have to worry about him when I drop him off for the day or the week. She has been a blessing in both our lives 💜 I will be rebooking with her again and again.”
“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.”

So what better way to spend my free time but having fun with some precious animals. I have a lot of walking in and outside of my home. I will gladly take on walks if needed or wanted.

About: Hey pawrents! I'm Paige - your pet's new best friend! I have had puppy dogs my entire life and have been taking care of friends’ and family's pet kids for years. I have one child at the moment; a senior husky-mix, Nala, who loves to play, but she is good at reading others' behaviors. I have done boarding in the past, but residing with family at the moment, so I am only doing house sittings and drop-ins in the Charleston-South Charleston area only. I work a usual schedule of 6-2:30pm M-F in downtown Charleston, which allows for late afternoon and evening availability during the week, as well as the potential for a midday potty break during lunch, depending on location. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your pets. I'm happy to offer that for you. I promise to treat your loved ones like my own - with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs! I do not currently accept cat care due to allergies I am a federal government employee, so please note I have had an extensive background check and am fingerprinted. I have done boarding in the past, but residing with family at the moment, so I am only doing house sittings and drop-ins in the Charleston-South Charleston area only. I work a usual schedule of 6-2:30pm M-F in downtown Charleston, which allows for late afternoon and evening availability during the week, as well as the potential for a midday potty break during lunch, depending on location. Since I’m currently not offering boarding, I care for pets in their own home through house-sitting and drop-in visits. With house-sitting, I stay in your home and provide full-time care — feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship — while also keeping an eye on your home, bring in mail, water plants, and make sure everything stays tidy and secure. For drop-ins, I stop by for quick visits to check in, feed, walk, or play with your pets. I can usually do morning, evening, and even a midday visit during my lunch break if needed. My goal is to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their own space while you’re away.

“Jillian was a very caring and reliable dog walker for our beloved family dog for over three weeks. She also helped us competently and caringly with an emergency related to our dog. We would highly recommend Jillian!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Devin & Alexis. They were incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly love animals. Our dogs were excited to see them each day and came home happy and well exercised. I really appreciated the updates and photos after each walk—it gave me peace of mind knowing my boys were in great hands. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker and will definitely book again.”
“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”
“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.”
About: I have a very happy Goldendoodle who is 5 years old. She’s very friendly and I take her on lots of adventures! I’ve done house sitting and pet care for the past 4 years. I’m happy to take your pups on walks, to play at the dog park or visit them at your home, whichever you prefer! I was in a house with a yard, but I recently moved to an apartment. There are very nice parks within 2 miles of my apartment and there’s a small dog park on site.

About: I provide dependable, personalized care that’s tailored to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pup is playful, or needing a slower pace, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I also make communication a priority. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your time away easier for both you and your dog by creating a caring, reliable, and attentive experience from start to finish. I am currently out of school for the summer. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to rather than squeezing in between other responsibilities. I also build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and care needs whether that means extra walks or sticking closely to a medication or feeding schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and any house rules the pet is already used to.

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.

“I am so happy to have found an awesome place for my pup to stay when we are out of town! I felt totally comfortable that she was in good hands, safe and happy. Kayla sent me lots of pics and videos of my dog making herself right at home. I'd definitely use Kayla again!”
“Stephanie and her family are wonderful with Luna. She always sends me sweet photos and Luna, who can be scared of new places, is always happy to be there. She recognizes the street and when we pull up is always excited. They also have a large fenced yard which is a big perk.”
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! ❤️
“Charlene was great! She has a nice fenced backyard and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular updates and photos during my time away. I will definitely consider using Charlene again for my dog boarding needs.”
“Sent a bunch of pictures and made things so much easier for an anxious dog dad leaving his furry lady with someone for a week. Definitely will be going with her again my next vacation.”
“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!”

“Patricia was amazing with our two goldens! She treated them like they were her own, even managing daily medicines and playing with them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent pictures to update us daily on how they were doing! We will definitely be contacting Patricia for sitter needs in the future!”
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.
“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!”

“I was thoroughly impressed with her care for Zeus. I would highly recommend her to other pet owners. I was gone for a about a week and I knew he was in good hands with her. She also answered quickly and was very accommodating. Thank you from me and Zeus Olivia!”
About: I’ve mostly worked as an RN but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!
“Very nice and understanding! I had my flight cancelled and Josie was very sweet about it and was willing to watch the dogs even longer then expected. Will be booking her again for my next trip. The dogs had a lot of fun and clearly were well taken care of.”
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!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life for friends and family. My fur babies are back home with my parents. After college, I moved from LA to WV. This app allows me to get my dose of puppy/kitty loving!! Working full time with breaks to go home as needed. Your babies will be well looked after regardless of the type of care chosen (walks, overnight stays, etc.) I live in a safe neighborhood with several neighborhood pets. While my backyard is not fenced in, I will make sure your babies are on a leash and watched closely!
“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!”
