“Megan was an absolute dream of a dog sitter! She connected with our old guy instantly, treating him with such tenderness & understanding that we knew he was in the best hands. Her sweet, thoughtful updates kept us smiling while we were away & reassured us that he was happy & well cared for. Megan truly went above & beyond in every way. If you’re lucky enough to book her, do it—you won’t regret it! She’s a solid 11/10 in our book, & we can’t wait to have her back!”
“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!”
“Jessica took care of our good boy like he was her own! She was great at communicating and sending pictures and videos. You can feel good that your pup is in good hands!”
“Brandi was very accommodating and helpful. She provided frequent updates on the animals with pictures, how they are adjusting, and the fun times my pup had with her during the stay. She also was very flexible but precise on what she needed to help make the animals stay more comfortable and enjoyable. Planning to book again on my next trip!”
“Megan is great with dogs! She has a nice fenced in backyard that is super dog friendly and lots of comfy indoor spaces and toys for pups. She kept us updated and sent photos daily. Megan was very patient and went above and beyond to help our dog who became anxious during his stay.”
“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.”
“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!!!”
About: Hi! I’ve spent years sitting and walking dogs for friends and family, so I definitely know every dog has their own personality and am happy to cater to them and take whatever time is needed to make them the most comfortable! Growing up there were always 3+ dogs in the house including puppies, seniors, and dogs with disabilities, so I’m equipped to handle all stages of life and different needs! I am patient, understanding, experienced, and ready to give your dog the most loving care! As a student with a part-time job my schedule is pretty flexible! For dogs, that means consistent walks, potty break, and feedings that match their normal schedule. For cats, regular feeding times, litter maintenance, and plenty of attention if they prefer it! Since my shifts change week to week, I will always confirm availability ahead of time and communicate about timing! Your pets safety is my top priority, in your home or mine! I live in an apartment, so I’m mindful about creating a secure, calm place, free of hazardous foods or items. I treat every pet in my care with the same level of attention I’d want for my own, so you can feel confident your dog or cat is in a safe and comfortable environment.
“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 great with my dog! Lola loves her and loved being at her house! I will always contact Sarah any time I need her! Sarah was able even to trim up her hair when others couldn't. Thank you, thank you, so much to you, Sarah!”
“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.”
“Jen was awesome! Our doggie Noel had so much fun! I love that she kept us updated the whole time. She also works with you on drop off and pickup times, changes in schedules, etc. She helped make it a pleasant first experience for us and for Noel. Her home is a perfect setup. We couldn't have been happier. We highly recommend her for future clients. We will be using her in the future for sure.”
“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!”
About: have experience caring for dogs, cats, puppies, and small animals, providing feeding, exercise, companionship, basic training support, and attentive care to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routines, providing consistent feeding, exercise, grooming, companionship, and training. Caring for pets is part of my lifestyle, ensuring they receive attention, love, and structure every day while maintaining their health, happiness, and safety. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I maintain clean, secure spaces, supervise interactions, and follow individualized routines for feeding, exercise, and play. Pets are treated with respect and compassion, and I ensure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free at all times. I communicate openly with owners to provide updates and address concerns, building trust while creating a nurturing environment where every animal thrives.
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.

“Savannah did an excellent job at keeping me updated throughout the week with report cards and pictures. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs pet sitting needs in Morgantown. Thanks Savannah! ? ?”
“I couldn’t have asked for someone better than Payton. My cat is pretty picky about who she likes but instantly came up and was interactive with Payton. I was gone for about 2.5 weeks and I have absolutely no complaints. Further, it was easy to trust Payton with my key to my home and my cat. My apartment door lock even had a problem mid trip and Payton handled the situation very well. She gave me the best pics of my kitty daily while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”
“Jess is the best! She is super knowledgeable and compassionate. She went above and beyond in attempting to keep my anxious, special needs cat comfortable in her home. Jess did the most in accommodating us. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
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.
“Arabella was great! She was conveniently close to where I lived and was amazing with my pup Leo. She also was helpful and willing to clean his crate out when he had accidents. I know that’s expected/part of the job but still can not be fun obviously.”
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.
“She was so sweet and took amazing care of our furballs. She was super patient with our senior kitty who is spicy but ended up becoming friends. Will definitely be using her again”
“Sumer did an amazing job! My cat Petal is very skittish and shy with new people. She sent me daily updates and pictures of her and did an amazing job! I would definitely recommend her!”

“Jessica watched West last minute on a holiday, and the whole experience was great. She was quick to reply, pickoff and drop-off was seamless, and the updates showed West was happy and having a good time. We would definitely recommend Jessica!”
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!
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: 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 grew up with pets so I have been caring for dogs and cats my entire life. I have trained many dogs and currently am Mama to an 12 year old rescue beagle mix. My experience ranges through dogs of all sizes and ages. I grew up with a Shiba Inu that has seizures so I am prepared to care for animals with special needs. I offer dog walking, daycare, and drop ins. I work from home and my dog is very friendly and is great with all animals so there is no need to worry if you need daycare services. I look forward to caring for your animals. I work from home M-F from 8-5 so I’m available during that time for daycare or on my lunch hour for walks/drop Ins. I am also available before and after work. I have a very friendly dog that will love the company of your pets. We go on multiple walks a day and we are flexible so we can meet your pet’s needs

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.
About: I have been around animals and taking care of them since I was a child. As a child my parents had cats that I would have to watch. As I got older both parents got dogs and I have had over 10 years experience with them. Currently I am a dog owner of 4 and a half years and couldn’t imagine life without him. I am currently enrolled in school online that does not have a set time to be in classes. This will allow me to attend to your pets at any moment they need it. I have a yard but not fence. This allows easy access to restroom breaks. I am happy to crate your dog if needed but always love to be able to have them roam. My house has plenty of space for playtime and my dog loves running around it especially with other dogs.
About: There's nothing more wonderful than the love of a dog! I had previously primarily used Rover to find quality sitters and now my schedule is allowing me to return the favor. I'm a nurse and currently working on my Doctorate, so much of this time during this period in my schooling is spent studying from home, allowing me a very flexible schedule. From experiences seeking out sitters for my own dog, I know it is incredibly important (and sometimes challenging) to find someone trustworthy and reliable when life gets busy. I grew up with a number of dogs in our house and have translated that love over the last decade into dedicated involvement with foster/rescue organizations. I have experience caring for all dogs, from litters of new puppies to senior dogs and those with special needs. Some dogs I've cared for are experiencing their first taste of a home, and it couldn't be more rewarding to make them feel safe and loved while working on leash skills, potty training, baths, etc. I am happy to accommodate you and your pet's preferences--I understand the importance of routine, consistency, and willingness to accommodate a pup's specific needs My schedule is very flexible during the day allowing for frequent potty breaks, multiple walks, park trips, and plenty of attention/playtime. My senior girl Lilo loves having visitors, and we are happy to welcome another dog into our home!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Mainly Australian cattle dogs which are very high energy and can be very aggressive dogs. I have also had beagle and coon hounds as well. I have dog sat for larger breeds like German shepherds and smaller dogs like Yorkies and more relaxed breeds like labs. I have also done some cat sitting for my friends who have bengals cats who typically require more attention and regular meal times. I am a fresh out of medical school doctor who is in between school and residency. I am free all hours of the day, any day of the week. I am here for detailed instructions on how you want me to care for your fur baby. If they need to be let out every 30 minutes because they’re a puppy I can do a stay in. If they need stimulation for 2 hours a day, I can do that. If they need longer walks multiple times a day, I’m here for whatever you may need!
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve learned how to care for all pets. Dogs, cats, goats, chickens, bunnies, llamas. Hopefully your dog won’t spit on me like my llamas did ;) I adore all animals I love getting on their level to play, teaching them new tricks with clicker training, and back massages (‘cause even our pets need that sometimes too🥲). Your pet will LOVE their time at Camp Hanna. Bring em over! I work from home and where I cannot commit to a pet full time just yet, I’d love to help you out and host your best friend for as long as you need :) Lovely multiplex townhome on a quiet street. We have grassy side and backyard and several wooded walking trails. I go on walks between calls multiple times a day and would love to take your pooch out on the leash and work on their clicker training.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, I foster and rescue cats, and volunteer. I’ve handled all pets from lizards to St Bernard’s. The most pets in a house I’ve ever had is 19! I am a full time student and work a part time job, but I’m flexible! I am willing to work with you to ensure your pet is taken care of! I’ve fostered 50+ cats with my family, and I grew up with big dogs. I have experience giving meds, and dealing with puppies and kittens.
“Sidonie was wonderful! She was willing to meet up before the walk to meet my dog and to discuss her care needs. She was fantastic with communication and sent photos of their time together. I will definitely have her take care of my dog again in the future.”
“Stephanie was awesome! She agreed to walk my Artemis on a short notice, and from the pictures she took I can tell that Artemis had a great time! Highly recommend!”
About: I have dog sat on and off for many years (maybe 10) mostly for friends and family, and occasionally cared for cats, but am new to Rover. I have grown up with dogs and have a deep love of them. I am comfortable with any breed, temperament and behavior permitting. I am also comfortable administering most forms of medication. I love getting dogs outside onto trails and exploring creeks (my dogs favorite things to do). I’m a graduate student who has lots of flexibility and works from home most of the time, providing flexibility and near constant supervision. Under most circumstances, I never have to be away for more than 3 hours. I watch over other peoples dogs like I care for my own. I provide frequent photo and text updates for peace of mind. Tell your dog I said hi. I am a graduate student, meaning I take few classes and primarily work from home. I am generally very flexible and available most times everyday. At the very most, I may be away from home for 3 hours at a time. Ultimately, I am more open and flexible than not. I have an unfenced yard (working on fencing it), but take the highest priority of ensuring dogs are safely secured in their harness or collar when going outside. Life inside is pretty normal, the occasional playtime, sleeping around, relaxing. Im no professional dog trainer, but would say I have a very self taught, well behaved dog, and as such enjoy trying of some training with dogs I watch. My dog, Maple, a two year old golden retriever is very welcoming and friendly to new dogs and loves to play with them.
About: I have experience taking care of kittens/puppies and senior cats (21 years old). Have an exotic pet? No problem! Raccoon, rabbit, bird, chinchilla, etc. I’m willing to take care of them. I am available after 4 pm every day and love to do drop-in visits! I can do home sitting on all weekends since Friday night. If you want to board your cats at my place, I can have a separate room just for them. No kids, no dogs, no smoking, big home with fenced backyard. I have 3 super-friendly cats myself, and they get along well with other cats. If your furbabies are shy, I can set up a separate room for them. If they love making friends, my cats will keep them busy.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish. I have a degree in Wildlife Resources from WVU. I have had many animals over the years and will love your pets just the same. :) I’m currently working part-time so I will be available to fit your animals into my schedule on most days. I look forward to working with you and meeting your pets! I have three cats and one dog who are all friendly with other animals, but if your fur baby is not, I’d be happy to watch them in your home instead.
About: Hi! I’ve spent years sitting and walking dogs for friends and family, so I definitely know every dog has their own personality and am happy to cater to them and take whatever time is needed to make them the most comfortable!

I am patient, understanding, experienced, and ready to give your dog the most loving care! As a student with a part-time job my schedule is pretty flexible! For dogs, that means consistent walks, potty break, and feedings that match their normal schedule. For cats, regular feeding times, litter maintenance, and plenty of attention if they prefer it! Since my shifts change week to week, I will always confirm availability ahead of time and communicate about timing! Your pets safety is my top priority, in your home or mine! I live in an apartment, so I’m mindful about creating a secure, calm place, free of hazardous foods or items. I treat every pet in my care with the same level of attention I’d want for my own, so you can feel confident your dog or cat is in a safe and comfortable environment.
“Kayla is awesome! I felt fully comfortable with her taking my pups for two walks. Seeing the smiles on their faces made me feel at ease. Thank you Kayla for helping me out on such short notice as well. I will definitely call you again!”
“Bethany did an amazing job! I was in need with very little notice and Bethany accepted the job and made it so easy. My pet was taken care of and I didn’t have to worry. I would recommend her a thousand times!”
About: I decided to join Rover because my friends always contact me to take care of their pets and they say I should make a job of it :) I’ve also been a personal assistant to two families, which included staying with and checking in on their pets on a daily basis and while they were away. I’ve had a few clients over the years where I’ve taken care of their dogs, cats, rabbits, goats and other farm animals. I’ve helped run a small farm as well so if you have horses or other animals that need looked after, I’m all in! I have a college degree and manage a restaurant now. I’m very responsible, handle stress well, and have always taken my obligations very seriously. I’m trustworthy and always on time. That’s part of being a business woman :) Besides that though, I truly love animals and I’m very fond of dogs, cats, and horses. I’d love to help you out so be sure to get in touch! Fortunately, as a restaurant manager, I get to create my own schedule so I enjoy helping out families with their pets in my off time. If you need me to take your dog(s) for a walk, stop by to play with your pets, check in, potty breaks, or spending the night, let’s discuss what schedule you need. I’m very flexible and can also help with any special needs you may have such as giving meds or cleanings. Just leave me instructions and I will be sure to follow those and any other guidelines you may have. Keeping your pets safe and entertained will be my priority. I’d love to send you pics and check-ins to offer you peace of mind while your away.
“Carrie is wonderful! I love the updates I get, the wonderful communication, and her transparency. Dora loves her and we will go through her services any time we get the chance!”
About: I’ve always loved animals. Growing up, my family had three dogs and a cat, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Now that I have my own dog, I truly understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to stick closely to their normal routine and preferences. Whether they’re energetic, shy, anxious, or just love lots of attention, I’ll make sure they feel secure and cared for the whole time you’re gone Pet care is a natural part of my daily life since I have my own dog and understand the routines, attention, and love pets need. Most of my classes are online, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer your dog multiple walks or drop-in visits throughout the day. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and I’m happy to follow their usual routines so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Being around animals is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own I offer drop-in visit and dog walking, and I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine. During visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to give medications, clean up accidents, and keep litter boxes or living areas tidy. For walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable exercise at your dog’s pace. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away

“Megan was an absolute dream of a dog sitter! She connected with our old guy instantly, treating him with such tenderness & understanding that we knew he was in the best hands. Her sweet, thoughtful updates kept us smiling while we were away & reassured us that he was happy & well cared for. Megan truly went above & beyond in every way. If you’re lucky enough to book her, do it—you won’t regret it! She’s a solid 11/10 in our book, & we can’t wait to have her back!”
“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!”
“Megan is great with dogs! She has a nice fenced in backyard that is super dog friendly and lots of comfy indoor spaces and toys for pups. She kept us updated and sent photos daily. Megan was very patient and went above and beyond to help our dog who became anxious during his stay.”
“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 great with my dog! Lola loves her and loved being at her house! I will always contact Sarah any time I need her! Sarah was able even to trim up her hair when others couldn't. Thank you, thank you, so much to you, Sarah!”
“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.”
“Jen was awesome! Our doggie Noel had so much fun! I love that she kept us updated the whole time. She also works with you on drop off and pickup times, changes in schedules, etc. She helped make it a pleasant first experience for us and for Noel. Her home is a perfect setup. We couldn't have been happier. We highly recommend her for future clients. We will be using her in the future for sure.”
“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!”

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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a pre teen. I’ve grown up with dogs, taken care of family dogs and I worked at a doggie daycare for over a year! I’m a current full time student at WVU, I do set aside time for homework and studying, but I would love to make extra cash and to hang out with some animals! I have a Hound mix, 4 years old who loves everyone! He is extremely friendly with all dogs and humans. We also have a crate however we do not have to put him in one anymore.
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.
