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!

My pup is getting plenty of socialization at Carolyn’s. I’m a first puppy owner, so I get nervous with stuff, but I have trust in Carolyn that she knows what she’s doing. She takes great pictures, is laid back, and is knowledgeable about dogs. I really trust her and like her!!

This was my first time using the Rover app and booking with Hannah was super easy. I'm so grateful that she was able to accodmodate a very late request, literally a day before to care for my puppy while I had to work and my hubby out of town. He seemed to have had a wonderful time with Hannah and her pets. I appreciated the updates about my pup during his stay. We love Hannah and look forward to booking with her again if needed. Thank you Hannah!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and truly love working with them. Since the age of 10, I’ve looked after dozens of dogs, volunteered at multiple shelters, and trained two puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes from tiny 8 pound pups to large 100 pound dogs. I would be honored to watch your dog and can promise they’ll receive plenty of attention, care, and love while in my hands. I already have a dog to walk on a daily basis and I am home for most of every day. I will have the free time to take care of your dog to the best of my ability. I have a dog crate, homemade dog house, and an organized 3 story house the dog can stay in and roam around. There is a small front yard and a large area outback for space to walk.

About: I’m currently raising a puppy, so I understand the patience, structure, and energy that young dogs need. At the same time, I also care for my 7-year-old dog, which has given me years of experience with the routines, training, and attention that come with adult dogs. I’m a student at the University of Virginia with a flexible schedule, so I have days without classes where I’d love to help care for your pets! As a pet owner, I know how important safety and trust are when it comes to caring for your pets. With my own puppy and 7-year-old dog, I’m experienced in handling different needs responsibly and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.

Jenny is a wonderful dog sitter. Couldn’t recommend her more highly. She helped care for my golden after her cancer diagnosis and made sure she had lots of fun, attention, and happy times. Also wonderful handling the less glamorous parts of medicine and appetite changes. Tons of photos and updates, and incredibly flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Very grateful to have had Jenny as a sitter, thank you!

Rachel is great!! She was thorough with communications. I was on a tight schedule and we decided to meet up for the drop off and pick up. She was on time and ready to go! Ziggy is still very much a puppy and has a ton of energy. He spent the day with Rachel and I could tell he had so much fun because he was happy and healthy, but completely worn out. Thanks so much to Rachel for taking great care of my pup. Highly recommend!!!

Allison was such an amazing and flexible puppy sitter! She was available last minute and even offered to drop her off at my apartment at the end of the day! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog there - she sent lots of photos of her playing and snuggling on the couch and came back totally exhausted. We would highly recommend Allison and will be using her again in the future!

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.

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.
