“Colleen did an amazing job with my whole crew of pets. I had to book last minute as my dog sitter quit mid job and wasn't taking care of them properly. She was attentive to detail, played with them, and was very respectful and pleasant to communicate. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future!”


“Brenda is always so kind and attentive to my Scout. He’s been staying with her every time I have to go out of town for almost a year now. She keeps me updated on him and is very considerate in her care. Would recommend her to anyone!”


“Allysa was wonderful! She spent a weekend taking care of my dog and two cats and sent pictures of all 3 at least twice a day with very detailed updates. Two of them were on medication and she had no problems getting them to take their pills. I will definitely be booking with Allysa next time I need someone to watch my pets.”


“Scotti was incredible with our dogs. We booked her for a overnight stay and she kept our two big dogs calm and happy, we came home and they were so well behaved and happy. We will be booking with Scotti any chance I can!”


About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals and truly love caring for them like they’re my own. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I fully understand the different needs, personalities, and routines that each pet requires. I’ve also cared for other small pets, and I’ve volunteered at local shelters, where I gained hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m skilled in feeding schedules, litter box and potty training, giving oral or topical medications, leash walking, basic commands, and helping anxious pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with shy cats and high-energy pups, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I also offer house sitting, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment while you’re away. Whether your cat loves quiet companionship or your dog needs lots of playtime, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care — and plenty of updates and photos so you feel at ease too. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are always my top priority. I have open availability, which means I can easily work around your schedule — whether you need early morning visits, evening walks, or extended house sitting. I’m happy to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping things clean, respectful, and as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, from feeding times and walking schedules to litter box cleaning or medication needs. I give pets lots of attention, love, and playtime — while also respecting their boundaries and any house rules. I’m mindful of the space I’m in — I clean up after myself and the pets, avoid restricted areas, and make sure everything is left just as I found it. Whether it’s watering plants, bringing in the mail, or sending regular photo updates, I’m happy to help however I can to give peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both your pets and your home are well cared for.

“Arianna did a great job of house and pet-sitting! She kept us updated with news and pictures, and our two dogs and cats were well cared for. She is responsible and mature. I will definitely seek her out for any future pet and house sitting!”


“Skye was at our home for 5 nights for dog sitting and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Our dog was happy and healthy when we arrived home after our trip and our home was well cared for! Definitely recommend her!”


“Alec was amazing! He was great at communicating and sending pictures of our two dogs. He made sure they were fed, taken out routinely and loved on. He also left our house cleaner than we left it! I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


“This is the first time i have left Daisy with someone that was not family. Morgan left me with zero worries! She sent several videos and texted me updates. I would not hesitate to use her again. I have a large Mastiff and she called her a cuddle bug ??.”

About: I’ve had many dogs in my life. Right now, I’m the mom of a four year old chihuahua! I love to watch dogs for people as a fun side job/hobby. While I may be new to the app, I’ve done this my entire life. You will get the quality and trustworthy care your pet deserves. Give me a chance! You will get your moneys worth. I’m currently working part time, I don’t do much except work and spend time with my own pup lol. I basically have open availability to meet your schedule’s needs. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have two dog tents and a kennel. I have a safe, quiet apartment where your pet will feel relaxed and at home. There’s also plenty of room to run outside.

About: I am a teacher so I am very responsible & reliable. I will give your pet or pets top notch care like he/she was my own. I am a teacher so Monday-Friday I work 8-4.

I'm reliable, communicative, and always make sure pet parents feel at ease while they're away. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, giving extra cuddles, or keeping you updated with photos and messages, I ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home. Dog sitting fits into my weekly schedule in a way that allows me to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I work full-time during the day, so I typically take on dog sitting jobs that align well with my availability—mornings before work, evenings, and weekends. During those times, I focus fully on making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, affection, and consistency. If your pup is comfortable with some alone time during the workday, I’m a great fit for overnight care or weekend stays. I provide a secure environment, closely supervising their activities, and following any specific care instructions from the owner. I ensure they have proper food, water, and exercise, avoid hazards like toxic plants or open gates, chocking hazards and stay alert to signs of illness or stress. Regular check-ins and maintaining up-to-date contact information also help in case of emergencies.

About: I am my mother’s daughter. She loved animals more than anyone. We rescued dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, chinchillas, ferrets and hampsters.

I walk daily and would love to have furry friend company. I currently do not have a pet in my home. I do not have a fenced in yard I do however I do have a park with a mile and a half loop right next door.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years while working at a doggy daycare. My skillset ranges from distributing medications to ensuring dietary needs are always met!

I can’t wait to give your dog the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I am available 7 days a week in the summer. During the school year, I am only available on weekends or breaks. You can check my calendar for details. I can provide walking, playtime, dog-sitting, and more! Your pup will always be seen every 2-4 hours in my care! I have a friendly little girl named Cookie and 2 cats who mind their own business. I prefer to take care of dogs inside of their home, but I am able to bring a dog to my house! I take my pup out every 2 hours and she is always playing. I will make sure your pet gets the same love and attention!

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. Currently, I have three dogs, a cat, and a turtle, so I understand the daily care and attention pets need. I am highly experienced in feeding, walking, administering medications, taking pets to vet appointments, and, of course, making sure they get plenty of playtime and affection. I believe that pets are family and deserve the best love and care possible. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I will treat your pets as if they were my own! I am a full-time college student balancing my studies with my passion for caregiving. I am almost always available as I like to do this as a full time job! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they receive the best love and attention. I provide regular feeding, ensuring they stick to their normal diet and schedule. Walks are an essential part of their routine, giving them the exercise and fresh air they need. I also love engaging in playtime to keep them happy and stimulated. In addition, I can take pets to their vet and groomer appointments to ensure they stay healthy and well-maintained. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care!

About: I have had dogs ever since I was little. Many times throughout my life I have taken care of my pets when my parents go out of town either on business of vacation and I love spending this one on one time with them. I currently have a labradoodle named Butler and his pup Wheezie. They are so energetic and love to play with one another. They love to sleep in the bed and enjoy snuggling as well. I am currently working in real estate full-time but most of my business is done from home. This also allows my schedule to be flexible for your benefit! There may be times where I will be gone if I have showings scheduled which will be done during the day, but these showings will depend on what is most convenient for my real estate clients. There is access to a large fenced-in area for all pets to roam and play. There can also be trips to the local dog park in Hurricane WV.

“Lena was amazing! She sent us a picture of our animals, and videos of her playing with the dog! This was our first time using Rover and we felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. We will definitely use Lena again in the future!”


“Emma was responsible, dependable, and very kind! We held a meet and greet prior so we could make sure she was a good fit. She sent lots of pictures which I greatly appreciated. I will be in contact with her in the future and would recommend her!”
