“Bertie was amazing! It was my first time using Rover as a pet owner, and I needed a sitter for the day while on vacation. My puppy is still fairly young and is very attached to me, but she appeared to settle in pretty quickly and have a great time with some other pups. Bertie stayed in touch while I was out, sending pics and updates, and even recommended some great local spots to check out. Super happy with this experience!”
“what is a very awesome Rover mommy I’m very funny where I leave my puppy and she took care of her better than if she was her own puppy she even trimmed her nails for me. I definitely will be returning to Paula again many times she is more than a five star sitter thank you so much, Paul”
“Carolyn is very kind and communicative, and clearly cares for every dog she watches. We definitely hope to work with her again next time we’re in Charlottesville!”
“Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again”
“Kirtly was very responsive, and gave a ton of feedbacks on the daycare session with our two dogs, one of which a 2 month old puppy. Will definitely book with Kirtly again.”
“Jenny watched my Lincoln today and was AMAZING. She was so responsive and easy to work with. She asked enough questions that it was obvious she really cared that my pup was comfortable and happy. She also sent me updates and pictures throughout the day including ones of him snuggled up on the couch so I know he was cozy. We would 100% recommend her.”
About: Desdé muy pequeña siempre hubo una mascota en casa, al dia de hoy el apego que tengo a los animales es muy especial, no puedo no emocionarme cuando veo algún ser vivo pasando frente a mis ojos, para mi sería un privilegio que me dieras la confianza de cuidar a tú mascota como si fuera un miembro más de la familia.♡ Actualmente tengo un trabajo independiente, asi que eso me da mucha flexibilidad para adaptarme al horario que tu mascota necesite cuidado, atención, alimento, cariño y muchísimo más. Tengo un apartamento bastantes amplio dónde tu mascota puede estar tranquilamente, tengo algunos premios, juguetes, comida, cosas con las cuales estoy segura no podria aburrirse, me gusta mucho salir a caminar asi que podria ser un gran beneficio si lo que necesitas es que tu mascota salga a despejarse un poco.
“Athena had another amazing time with Svitlana at her home! They played in the backyard and met a new dog friend, which got Athena into the nap mode. Look forward to our next meeting!”
About: I am a social person. I’ll work hard and take good care of your dog. I have a dog back home. I love dogs a lot. I’m free all day Friday-Sunday. I’m a former football player so I know that I’ll be dedicated to giving your dog the best care. I truly love dogs. We have a playground for the dog here at my apartment. They have treats everywhere for pets and I believe this is a great space for a dog to be.
“We were impressed with Jessica’s care for our border collie mix Boots for a very long day care day. Boots enjoyed the fenced-in yard and romping with another visiting dog. With a lovely, flexible, positive personality, Jess made us feel assured that Boots was being well taken care of. We would highly recommend her to others and will definitely seek her services again, when we return to town and need temporary dog care.”
About: Hi! I’m new to Rover and am currently trying to build my portfolio. I volunteered at the Cincinnati Animal Shelter for 3 consecutive years before I moved to Indianapolis, where I volunteered and fostered at Indy Humane!! I am now in Charlottesville for the summer as I prepare for law school and my boyfriend starts his Masters at UVA. I am currently available because Rover is my main work priority this summer, allowing me flexible scheduling and consistent availability for bookings, care, and communication. I am more than happy to play/watch over with your pet and take care of them in your home or crate them if need be! Whatever works best for you.
About: I’ve always been the one who others have had to take care of their pets. I’m dependable and caring. The pets will be in good hands. I am currently in school form home, so I will have all the time in the world to take care of the pets. They’ll have my full attention. I am very experienced with safety of animals as I’m a longtime professional pet sitter, dog walker, and worked in a kennel for 4 years.
“Keri was AMAZING with Coco and the became fast friends! She sent photos of their activities and made sure to keep Coco very hydrated and out of the 90 degree weather. Take your fur-baby to Keri, they will be loved!!!”
“Rachel went out of her way to provide Hazel with exceptional care. I received many cute updates throughout the day and at the end of the day picked up a happy and tired girl!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bowie! Jayden was wonderful from start to finish. He kept us updated throughout our time away with regular messages and adorable photos of Bowie, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Bowie was well cared for and happy. Jayden’s communication was excellent - they were always responsive and proactive about letting us know how things were going. I came back to one very content puppy! I would absolutely book with Jayden again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”
“Will and Vannessa have been great. My corgi Milo is always excited when we pull up to their house. It is not easy to tire Milo out since he has a ton of puppy energy, but he always comes home happy and tired after playing with the hosts and their dogs all day.”
“Dash really enjoyed his time with Bianca, and she put this new dog mom at ease with frequent updates and photos! She is supper accommodating and very professional. Will definitely reach out to her again!”

Svitlana was amazing. She loved Finley like he was her own! She sent me lots of pictures and videos of him playing with the other dogs (now his best friends) and it made my day while I was at work. She is the best! She loves your dogs like they are her own. Her and her husband and the perfect dog sitters. ❤️
Awesome dog sitter! I was in Charlottesville for an interview, and needed a sitter pretty last minute. Caroline was super responsive, sent me so many cute updates, pictures and videos during the day. Raina had so much fun playing with the other dogs, and I would 100% rebook if I’m in the area in the future. Highly recommend!
Mac had such a great day with this super sweet pup loving family! We were so grateful for the pics and videos and got updates throughout the day. He was well cared for and seemed to have lots of fun. We'd gladly have Bertie and family take care of Mac again - they loved him like their own!

First time booking on rover so I was a bit nervous. I booked doggy day care and Madison provided updates with pictures throughout the stay. She was very accommodating with drop off and pick times and was very responsive to communication. My pup is usually nervous at drop off but that changes by the time I pick her up, I was happy to see them walking so seamlessly when I got back, and bonus points for getting her to take a nap. Will definitely book again.
