This was our first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive on using the service; until we met Hilary!! She was so welcoming and accommodating with our dog, not to mention extremely professional. Our dog had a great time, she was well exercised and we will definitely use her in the future. A+++++

Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.

Matt is awesome!! He sends thorough updates multiple times a day with lots of pictures and will provide you with peace of mind that your pup is being cared for and enjoying themselves! His home is extremely well set up for safety and surveillance as well, so you are able to leave any concerns at the door!

Stacey was the ultimate sitter and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Rover! She scheduled time for our dogs to meet in a public area first followed by a tour of her home and yard where Sebastian would be staying. I received photos of how much fun he was having while on my trip, and to be honest I bet he's looking forward to his next stay, what with having a four legged buddy and a wrap-around, fenced-in yard for unlimited zoomies. I can't recommend Stacey enough and will be sticking with her whenever it suits going forward.

Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her

Aaren and Jordon are practically family now. This is the second time they have watched my girl and they take the BEST care of her. They love on her, make sure she is getting fresh air, and even take her on outings. I almost hesitated to write this review because I don’t want yall to know how great they are and then start taking all to spots - just kidding! I can’t be selfish! Everyone deserves to feel the peace I feel when my pup stays with them ❤️.

Donetta is simply amazing. She’s my only dog sitter turned friend in the RVA. She takes care of my fur baby, Blu as if she’s her own. Blu gets excited as soon as we pull up to her home. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!

I will definitely be booking with her again :) I love that she hosts other dogs at the same time, because my dog gets so much play time

Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!

About: Although I don't have a pup of my own , I've loved dogs since I could walk! My grandmother and Aunt always kept their dogs around me and they became my best friends. Over the years I've cared for the pups of my friends and family. I currently work full time as a Licensed massage therapist. Weekdays are my busiest and weekends are typically when I'm free the most. I’m the perfect person to take care of your pups during your weekend getaways! I live on Bainbridge st but I know of plenty of safe spaces and trails to walk nearby. My apartment is dog friendly and I will have plenty of places to walk and play with your pup. I don't have any children or other pets , so your pet will get all my love and attention!

Allison is the best! This is the second time we’ve used her and she’s nothing short of wonderful. She lives on our baby like they’re her own and she updated us so consistently that we felt like he was with us. I’ve used sooo many dogsitters in the past having had dogs my whole life & none compare to her level of service !

She immediately responded and has been so patient and understanding, allowing me to focus on the medical issues. It doesn't get any better than this.
