“Michelle was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t recommend anyone more for your dog sitting needs. We are very thankful we had her available to watch Mocha! She gave great updates and provided lots of pictures.”
“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”
“Thank you Faith for doing a great job with both my dogs! They’re not typically inside dogs (more like farm dogs), but she accommodated them and was flexible through the weekend. Photos or videos were sent daily. Thanks!”
About: I’ve been in the general field of caretaking for about 6 to 7 years. I was a full time nanny to a family of 7 children and 3 dogs for a few years before I married, and before that, I had multiple families for whom I watched their little ones, including the family dog/dogs. I also did some exclusive pet sitting apart from my previously mentioned work experience. I managed both kids and pets at once. I’ve gotten to know a variety of dog breeds. Growing up, we always had dogs. We’ve had a labradoodle, a few small mixed breeds, and a bernedoodle. Our bernedoodle, Rocco, I trained myself. He is the gentlest dog I’ve ever met and so smart. I taught fun tricks but also some useful ones like how to ring bells to indicate he needed to potty. I have loved being around dogs and having them in my life. We don’t currently have a dog since my two kids are young, so we can’t afford our own pup right now, although we certainly will get one in the future. That’s why I’m so excited to be able to provide other people’s dogs a warm and welcoming home away from home where they will be loved on and feel at ease. I’m a full time stay at home mom, so I’m almost always home. Apart from grocery shopping, minor errands, church on Sundays, or the rare trip to families, we are home all the time. Dogs that stay with us will have pretty much constant companionship and attention. We will be available for drop offs everyday except most of Sunday. Sunday evenings will be open though. Dogs that love a family environment will thrive here. We are usually up for the day around 7:00 am. My son loves dogs and will happily have a full conversation with them. He has grown up around many dogs because my mom has dogs and is a seasoned rover sitter herself. My husband works in the evenings so dogs will probably stay up and hang out with me as we unwind. We have a fenced in backyard so I can sit on our deck and let the dogs run, play, and potty easily and frequently. We live on a very quiet and friendly Cul-de-sac in the mountains of West Virginia, near Winchester. Dogs that come here will have a peaceful stay and have a lot of fun!
“Beth did an amazing job at taking care of my beagle for me while I was out of town for a long weekend. I received timely, regular updates, and she provided my dog with a ton of affection, which she clearly relished from the pictures. She has a lovely house with a great backyard for the dogs to run, play, and sunbathe. Highly recommended, and she will be my first call the next time I need a dog sitter. Thanks Beth!”
About: I've had pets all my life cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, Bunnies, and taken car of horses. I love animals and am not afraid of their messes. During the summer I have plenty of time to take care of pets though during the school year certain times of day I won't be available due to classes. I've learned to come at pets with the caution they need. I'm very friendly and always want to be sweet to pets but I can be tough if the situation calls for it to not let animals walk all over me. I love animals and like taking the time for their needs.
“We recently got our puppy, so we were very nervous about dropping him off with someone new. He can be quite a handful! But Lucy was great with him and sent us updates throughout his visit to ease our anxiety. We will definitely be using her services again and would highly recommend her!”
“Carrie exceeded expectations during the week-long stay. Her consistent updates and photos provided peace of mind. The level of dedication and genuine affection for my 11-week old puppy make her a standout choice for extended stays. I couldn't be more pleased with the care my puppy received. Also, Carrie’s flexibility in accommodating a 24-hour flight delay was truly impressive. Despite the unexpected change in plans, she seamlessly adjusted her schedule to ensure my pet remained comfortable and stress-free. This level of understanding and adaptability adds an extra layer of reliability to their already exceptional service. A five-star rating is well-deserved!”

About: I grew up with in a two cat household. I have experience with medication with cats in pill forms. Am able to clean up after messes cats make. I have even bottle fed raised multiple kittens after they were rejected by the mom cat. Love cats of all sizes.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats from my time working in an animal shelter — handling everything from shy, hide-under-the-bed types to social butterflies who want all the attention. I know how to read a cat’s comfort level and give them exactly what they need, whether that’s space or company. Your cat is in good hands while you’re away.
About: I have owned my own personal animals for the past 6 years, I have 3 dogs (all beautiful muts) and 8 cats. Aside from having my own furry kids, I've also worked in animal rescue for a little over 4 years. This job field has given me so much experience working with every sort of dog breed, and any cat temperament. I currently work a full time job Monday-Thursday but I would love to be more involved in the animal field again. With me having fridays off I feel this is a great opportunity to spend time helping others and hanging out with animals! Since I do have my own animals, I will not be able to provide in home care. However, I will be more than happy to set something up with you to do care for your pets in their own home!
“Shayna was amazing! She had to deal with some difficult and unexpected problems with one of our cats and a break in our sewage system! She handled things very adeptly and kept us constantly informed. She is a very caring and conscientious sitter. We will definitely use her again!!!”

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“Faith was very kind and patient with not only my dog but also with my circumstance. She was willing to work with me in order to get my dog the best care possible! Overall a great experience and my dog had a great time!”
“Lucy always does an amazing job with Molly. Her and Christian have really helped me with watching Molly as I prepare for a move, but I will still keep them as my go-to dog sitters for when I take a trip, even if they will live an hour away. The dog's excitement as I approach their house to drop her off with them tells me how well she's cared for while there.”
“Carrie Lynn was wonderful with our pups. Her place is very nicely kept and most of all my pups were safe and taken care of. I will definitely book her again! Thank you, Carrie Lynn!!!!”
About: I have a female Siberian Husky named Onyx who I raised and trained from a puppy. I grew up and had been around dogs small to very large. My family had a German Shepherd/Malmute mix and a Pomeranian that I would watch during their vacation trips. I can take your dog on walks with mine to the park, stop in to feed and let your dog out, or watch your dog for the day. My dog is very friendly and has grown up around other dogs of all energy levels. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is more flexible to align to you and your pets needs. I’m new to this service so it will be a learning experience at first, but I want to provide a safe and fun experience for your pet! I have a small apartment that your dog is more than welcome to spend the day in with me and my dog. I can also drop by at multiple times during the day, depending on the location. If you prefer to have your dog stay at your house, I won’t be able to spend the entire day there, but will gladly take them on a short/long walk (depending on preference), feed them and refill water.
“Jessica and her husband were amazing with Lavender and were very responsive! The doggy daycare request was very short notice, but she worked with me and Lavender got to have a great time with other puppies! I will be using their services again!”
