“Madelyn was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my cat, Yuki! 🐾 She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout my trip, which gave me total peace of mind. I came home to a very happy and well-cared-for kitty, and the house was just as I left it. I’d highly recommend Madelyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

“Christian is the BEST dog caretaker we’ve ever had! She also stayed at our house and took great care of the house as well. She took our dog for a walk 3 x a day, gave her lots of love & cuddles & kept the house clean and did all the trash & washed our dogs bowls, vacuumed & stripped the bed. She is so communicative, professional, responsible and kind! We highly recommend her.”

“We could not be happier with our experience having Samantha as a house sitter - she went above and beyond! She shared multiple updates with pictures each day, left the house spotless, and even took our young pup for trail walks which she loves. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again or recommend her to other pet parents looking for a house sitter!”

“Kiri was wonderful with our senior pup Lolita! She took time to bond with her, carefully noted our caregiving tips to tend to our gal, took her on many walks, and was super communicative with us (sending us regular picture updates). Most important, it was obvious that she really cared about Lolita’s wellbeing and experience. We look forward hiring her again and to Kiri and Lolita becoming good friends. ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from a young age. I have worked at a veterinary office and feel comfortable giving medications and taking care of animals with illness and medical needs. I am currently a UVA grad student with availability most week days and weekend. I am happy to help with walking, drop-ins and feeding and house sitting. Please reach out to ask for specific questions about my schedule. I prefer to care for your pet in your home as I live in a one bedroom apartment. I may be able to take small dogs and cats in my home for short periods.

“Jen was amazing! She took such good care of our dogs in our house and spoiled them so much that I think they were disappointed when we returned! She baked treats for the dogs, as well as doing the standard tasks of feeding and walking them. She took great care of our two guinea pigs, as well, making sure they got their daily feedings and cage cleaning. She left the house in such good clean condition, it was like she hadn't even stayed there. I was so impressed with all her texts with funny pictures and cute updates on all the activities. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”

“Madison and Ryan were amazing with our furbaby! We did a quick trip, but our pup was left in great hands. They were very attentive in making sure Nestle was comfortable and that my separation anxiety was at ease :) I received several adorable photos! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”

Rebekah E.

“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”
