Tessa stepped in at the last minute to take care of Kimi when another Rover had to cut the stay short by two days. We're very comfortable with Tessa and appreciate her willingness to help. This is the second time she has taken care of Kimi.

When we read Danielle's profile we knew she was the perfect match for our older dog. Danielle was always quick to reply, great with our dog, sent lots of pictures throughout, and kept us informed about how our dog was doing. We also appreciated that Danielle was willing to schedule some meet ups before our booking to get to know our dog, and let our dog get to know her. We booked Danielle to stay overnight, and our house was exactly as we left it. We cannot say enough good things about Danielle, except that we will definitely book her again in the future

Dakota, this review is written also as my gratitude. Thank you again for all your time and attention to my dogs for such a very long time (12 days!). They were content and happy when I got back. And the house was spotless! (You didn’t have to clean up!) I felt safe leaving them with you and deeply appreciated your daily updates and photos. I hope you and Spam would be willing to help us out again in the future 😊!!

Ireland was fantastic and we would highly recommend her! She was a great communicator throughout our trip, took excellent care of our pup, and was very respectful of our home. We came back to a happy, tired dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. We truly appreciated her professionalism and care.

My fiancée and I feel like we’ve hit the jackpot after adding Abi to our lives! She came to our home before our trip to meet us and our girls, ask plenty of questions, and see how the dogs responded to her presence. She is warm and patient, and even our super anxious/epileptic dog took to her quickly (a rare occurrence). She was meticulous in reviewing our care instructions for our needy crew (two dogs on several meds). She texted us pictures while we were away, asked follow up questions, and truly put our minds at ease seeing how much she cared for our girls. We can’t thank her enough for the ways she impressed us, and hope to have her return soon!

Anne took great care of our two dogs and two guinea pigs during our two-week trip. We felt very comfortable having her house-sitting and she was great about keeping the dogs' routines going on as normal. She was very responsible and was friendly and engaging with our pets. We were very happy to have her here at our house for our pets.

About: I’ve always had animals in my younger life from cats to dogs, and even though I only have a cat I continue to love dogs. My current housing situation allows me to share dog sitting and caring of his clients dogs (ages 9 months to 14 years) for the last ten years. Since then I have asked my neighbors for tending to the needs of their dogs be it from a 5 mile walk on and off leash to a 100 yard potty break in addition to giving medications. I’m currently working part time three days a week and an occasional Saturday, so I have the time to care and interact for your furry friend. I live in a neighborhood with easy access to the Rivanna trails and a road trip access to a farm with woods in Earlysville for running in fields. I also have a very tolerant cat who actually enjoys dogs staying with me because she’s learned that visiting dogs often get a treat she’s earned one too. My house has hardwood floors on the first floor throughout access to the carpeted lower level is through a door. The dog would have free range of the house while we were at home and unless he/she is accustomed to be crated.

About: I have a large family dog that I have been responsible for since I was about 10 years old. She has since gotten older so I have experience with a senior dog and giving any sorts of medication (and the peanut butter necessary to get her to take it). I am no stranger to having to clean up any accidents in the house so that is a non-issue for me. I am also open to taking care of other animals like rodents or turtles or other cage creatures. I am a true and passionate animal lover! My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am happy to give as much or little time needed for the pets. I can figure out any scheduling and details necessary with clients. I am never loud coming into a home. I always let the pets come to me unless they are hiding on purpose. I take care instructions very seriously and will follow everything exactly and will reach out if I have questions about the best way I can care for your fur friend.

Madelyn did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs, two cats, and house during a recent overnight trip, and I can recommend her without reservation. It was my first time using Rover so I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but Madelyn made it super easy. She is responsible, enthusiastic, and communicative, and it's clear she loves animals. And judging from the pics she sent, the animals had a wonderful time!

I can't recommend Tracy enough! We haven't left our 11 year old dog with a sitter for at least 5 years, and were nervous he would be stressed out and have no fun while we were gone. Tracy was absolutely fabulous with him and gave him the VIP treatment that he doesn't normally get when he's home with his family! She took him on so many walks, gave him lots of treats, and truly got to know him and love him. Our home was spotless when we returned, as well, which was such a gift. I think he misses Tracy already and we will have to keep them connected!

She made it clear that she would be happy to be there for the entire time. The kitty and dog were happy and calm when we returned. Thank you Lissette!
