About: Loving dog mom of 3 with hands-on experience caring for puppies, seniors, and all breeds. I offer dependable care, fun walks, snuggles, and daily updates. By day, I serve in the military; by night and weekends, I’m all about paws and play! Available Fridays, evenings, and weekends for loving care. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow all care instructions, provide constant supervision, and give regular updates.

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.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years now, maybe even more. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, goats, pigs, ducks, fish, and birds. Recently, I was able to get a job working at home, so now I am able to take care of more pets. I’m currently working from home now, so I am able to travel to pet sit or have more pets in my home. I do work 6pm-2am also. I take care of animals just like I would my own, make sure they are fed, comfortable, and get to go out to exercise. I will also say that I care for the pets depending on the owners preference.

About: I've had pets all my life and have pet-sit for neighbors, friends, and family -- including special needs and senior pets who need a little extra care and compassion. I work from home as a freelance writer, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pet and mine. My own dog gets plenty of trips outside, to the dog park, and to the lake throughout the day -- and lots of naps on the furniture and several pet beds throughout the house. My dog, Ozzy, is a one-year-old Corgi who gets a long walk twice a day, a trip to one of the dog parks in town, and regular trips into our own yard for some frisbee and potty breaks. Inside, we keep lots of fresh water and toys available for play. Your pet would get the same level of care and love as my own. I also have room for an extra crate if your pet likes a familiar place to retreat. When watching other dogs, I keep my cats upstairs and away from the dogs to ensure they're environment is stressfree.

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience 🐾 I treat every pet like family, with loving, reliable care tailored to their needs. I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments and provide a safe, structured, and calm environment. I have one dog, and my mom has another who stays in her room except to go outside. Rover dogs are always kept separate from our personal pets. My young grandchild (under 5) lives in the home, so visiting pets should be comfortable around children. We have a secure fenced yard, pet-friendly spaces, and plenty of attention to give. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just a comfy place to stay—I’ve got them covered. ❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m home and available throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and companionship. I work evenings delivering luggage for the airport, but I’m typically only gone for a few hours after 9:30 PM. During the day, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, day care, and boarding supervision. My home has a secure fenced yard for easy potty breaks and safe play, and I only have one dog of my own—who stays separate from Rover pets. I also have a young grandchild in the home, so I maintain a structured, safety-focused environment. Your pet will be in good hands, with care that’s consistent, personalized, and reliable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, structured environment with clear boundaries and lots of love. Pets in my care have their own designated space and are always supervised during play, feeding, and downtime. I have one dog of my own, and my mother has another who stays in her room except to go outside. Rover pets are always kept separate from our personal dogs to reduce stress and ensure a smooth, safe stay. There’s a securely fenced yard for outdoor time, and the indoor space is pet-friendly, clean, and cozy. My young grandchild (under 5) lives in the home, so pets should be comfortable around children—but rest assured, interactions are always closely monitored for safety. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. You can trust that they’ll be loved, well-cared for, and treated like one of the family—because that’s what they deserve. ❤️

About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, hamsters and I’ve help treat horses. I love all animals and always willing to learn more about each animal. I have mainly open availability, so I can give as many potty breaks and road trips to McDonald’s, I have a very friendly female dog who’s super happy to meet any animal and person and ready to play with anyone I have an open yard, and an option for a fenced in area. I can do anything a client needs me to do and achieve more. We spoil all animals in our home and others and give them all the love and affection.

About: Hi! I’m Taria! I am an animal loving girl who would love to take care of your babies! I used to work at a doggy day care in Morgantown. I have moved back home to Beckley and now work from home so I have lots of time to tend to your babies. I have 1 pit bull back who is very sweet. I will respect all of your wishes and will obey your rules with your pet. I teach really well and I have great bonding skills with animals. I can provide them with love and care while you are away from them. I feel that if you don’t love what you do, then you won’t put your all into your work. With me, your pets will be more than well taken care of, they will be put first, nurtured, cared for and most importantly very loved. I used to work at a daycare for dogs so I have lots of experience around multiple dogs with very different personalities helping me to learn how to care for all dogs. I plan to exercise the animals in my care so that they don’t feel bored or sad while their parents are gone. I also have a balcony if your baby likes to chill outside, I can crate your dog as well if needed.

About: Pet sitting for me is not just a job or a hobby, it's a passion. I am a seasoned pet sitter, with lots of experience caring for a variety of different animals... From some of the smallest to the largest. Those to include dogs, cats, exotic pets, amphibians and reptiles. I have cared for them all, even the farm animals too. I am reliable, trustworthy, and will provide the best care for your beloved companions. I love to spoil them as if they are my own. I am available for pet sitting in your home if needed. I strive to make their moments away from you as stress-free as it can be for them and you. You can leave them in my care knowing they will receive the extra love and attention they are used to getting, but may not always receive if kenneled at a facility. I have a fenced in yard for those pets who like to go for adventures, which may include a trip to my house to say hello. I make sure to have lots of toys available for my pets and those I keep so boredom doesn't have time to set in. I like to keep up with my pet client's daily routine as much as possible, such as dinner time, bedtime, and exercise, so they don't experience any unnecessary stress due to a routine disruption.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve handled big dogs, small dogs, medium sized dogs. I’ve trained more than one dog as well. My specialty’s are German Shepherds and APBT. My friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs when they’re out of town(feeding, walking, bathing, exercising, etc) I love dogs of all kinds and make them my very best friend! I’m currently working part-time, so I am able to help take care of your furry friends anytime! I’m usually available after 2pm on weekdays, and 1pm on the weekends. I can spend as much time as needed with your pups on the weekends, but minimum of 3 hours on weekdays. If I am coming to your house to have playtime with your pups, I am able to feed on schedule(if you have one) and I am able to exercise and play with them as much as they need. If I am taking your dog(s) for a walk, I can find a nearby dog park or walk path to take them to!

About: I have cared for pets since I was 12 years old. I work as a nurse professionally and specialize with seniors. I care for organisms of every kind! I am currently working about one shift a week as a registered nurse and work remotely as a student. I have a dog of my own and I find it easy to balance my work and school life in a way that allows me to provide her quality care, time, and attention. I am able to stay at any clients home that lives reasonably close to Fayetteville, WV. I am unable to take pets into my house at this time for safety reasons (I live next to a busy highway with no fence).


About: I am the proud owner of Siberian Huskies. We spend lots of time outdoors hiking and playing in creeks/rivers. My furkids love play dates and we schedule as many as possible. I love to be outdoors enjoying the beauty of the area in which I reside. I have a fully enclosed chain-link fenced in yard at my home, but we still walk 3-6 miles every day. I will enjoy walking with your pets as well and will strive to make sure that the time you are away will be as enjoyable as possible.

About: Hello! I am genuinely so glad to meet you and have the opportunity to help you out! I have almost 10 years of experience with Rover. My main mantra is “Help you have a stress free trip.” I fully understand that leaving your pet (baby) is stressful. I will send you daily photos and updates. I obtained my Masters in Social Work in 2020 and am a licensed social worker. I’m currently practicing PRN medical social work. I am able to create my own schedule and primarily be home with the pets. I am a HUGE homebody and am here with them majority of the time unless I am doing a home visit that day (typically takes 2 hours) or running an errand. The only thing I request be brought is your pets favorite food and whatever medication they are currently taking. It can also be helpful to bring whatever bed is comfortable for your pet to sleep on. If your pet is a bed sleeper, that is OK as well! My main focus is to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible. Many folks provide me with some type of written or typed instruction. This helps me provide you with the best care possible so that whenever they come home, your pet has continued their consistent schedule. This is optional but totally cool to provide! My two babies: Benni and Bowie. They will bark at first and then in an hour they will be cuddles with your pet on the couch. It’s the weiner dog in them. 😂. They love all animals and seriously go into a small depression when your pets leave! They are highly socialized and non aggressive. Please message me with any questions you may have. I cannot wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾♥️ I am a licensed social worker and complete 0-20 hours of home visits a week. I am primarily home and my schedule revolves around taking care of the pups! I send daily photos and updates. Please contact me at any time you would like. Request a meet and greet if you would like to introduce animals yourself. I can also do this professionally and safely. Thank you!

“Thanks to Rachel, my pup had a nice walk, played ball, met a new dog friend and his dinner. I appreciated Rachel’s flexibility, quick response time and updates.”


Lexie A.
“Lexie has been my friend for over 10 years . Constantly she has had animals in her care , which has given her lots of experience . Currently she owns two German Shepards and they’re extremely well taken care of . She’s never skipped anything for them . She has so much love and passion for animals . I’m more than certain this is the job for her ! If there’s anyone I would trust with my dog and cat , I would go to her . She’s patient , kind , assertive , and knowledgeable ! She truly knows what she’s doing , and I’m sure everyone she dog sits or walks for will love her . She’s not only great with animals , but with people too .”


Chelsea G.
“Chelsea has kept my dog Banjo overnight on countless occasions and I always know he's in good hands. Banjo LOVES running into Chelsea in town or on the trail and makes himself at home in her home. He barely notices I'm sneaking out the door with my suitcase packed! I feel less guilty leaving him behind for extended trips when I know he's getting spoiled by someone he loves and feels comfortable with.”




Pam U.
“Pam is one of the best, most trustworthy dog sitters I know! She always keeps her clients updated by sending photos/videos during their dogs stay. She accommodates as needed and is a very talented dog walker. It can be overwhelming to walk more than 2 dogs at once but Pam makes it look easy!”
