“SO GREAT!!! My dogs are usually really anxious in a new place, and they adjusted really well with Rachel and her family. She sent lots of pictures so I was reassured during the few days my dogs were with her. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I’m so glad to have found Cassandra to watch my dog when I go out of town! She is wonderful! She provides regular updates and photos, and is very prompt in replying to messages. I book with her every time I am out of town now and my dog always comes back really happy and relaxed, and I know Cassandra and her family take such good care of him. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Monica took great care of my dog, Lusia, while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I highly recommend her as a responsible and caring pet sitter!”
“Heather and her family were just absolutely amazing. I will definitely be recommending her to my friends and will be happy to leave my girl Downy with them any time!!!”
“Another great stay for my pup with Amber and her family. My pup was able to socialize with other dogs and the children, which makes her so happy. I always feel so much better knowing my pup can stay here.”
“Autumn is fabulous!!! She remained in touch with us during our entire trip. She sent pictures and videos regularly. Cocoa couldn’t have been in better hands. Autumn and her family treated Cocoa very well. At pick-up, Cocoa was excited to see us, but she also appeared sad to leave Autumn. We are 100% pleased with Autumn’s care, and we will definitely trust her with Cocoa in the future!!!”
“Winston had another great stay with Debbie and Adam! I received numerous updates throughout his 5 day stay. I’m so glad I found them. He comes home happy, content, and tired!! He has so much fun there!”
“Prior to Hector’s week long stay with Maria, Hector had only been watched by family members who knew his quirks and favorites. Well….he now considers Maria “family!” As that is how he was treated during his stay. The photo updates were comforting to see him relaxing and enjoying himself. Quite honestly, it appeared as though he was still in his own home. Maria’s dogs quickly became friends and even shared his favorite resting spots. We have no hesitation to book Maria when our next travel is scheduled.”

I would love to know about your pet’s daily routine, special needs, exercise requirements , medication and allergy information - please share as much details possible. I can attend to picky eaters - just let me know your fur baby’s likes and dislikes, how they want to be fed. I will be able to follow their daily health supplement , oral medication requirements.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with German Shepherd dogs. I also have recent volunteer experience taking care of both dogs and cats at the humane society. I adopted my dog, Mabel, from a humane society two years ago. I am a medical student. I take my own dog out every morning between 6 and 7am, and I come home around 12 or 1 pm most days. I am very active and will take your dog on at least three 20-to-30-minute walks each day. I live in a two-bedroom apartment with my dog, Mabel. She is allowed on the couch, and your dog(s) will be too. I have a very large crate with a memory foam bed inside that I can use if you would prefer the dogs be separated while I am away for any period of time during the day.
“The absolute best. For many of us, it can be difficult and very anxiety-inducing to even consider having someone new care for your beloved pet, but the moment you meet Amber, all of your concerns will vanish.”
“Izzy had a great experience at Veronica’s! Veronica has a huge back yard where Izzy ran and played with other dogs. I received a lot of pictures and videos, which showed me that Izzy was having a great time!”
“Jess is amazing! I got stuck in a winter storm traveling back and she was so great about it. During a stressful experience, I had peace of mind that Millie was being well taken care of.”
“Esmirna took such good care of my boy! She kept me updated and let me know how he was doing. This was the first time I left Jack with someone and I will definitely continue to book with Esmirna again :)”
“I would describe Chef’s stay with Elle as like staying in a Camp doggie … full of activities like off leash hiking In a park morning and/or afternoon , playing frisbee/ball in their big backyard with her family , and if you get lucky like Chef, you get to learn how to swim in the pool and learn how to jump like those agility courses . Chef stayed overnight for 5 nights , and he was treated like family . We are so lucky to have found Elle to watch our dog. And it was so nice that he gets to play with their border collie Eve , as well as other dogs in Elle’s care for the day . It’s really a nice feeling to leave your dog to a family that enjoys taking care of them as well as knowledgeable and very confident in all things doggie ? Oh and while we were away , we got so many updates like pics, videos of every activity that they did . It was fun to watch and very reassuring to see . Thank you very very much !”

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Wellsburg can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wellsburg home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wellsburg.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WV ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
