“I highly recommend Jordana! She was prompt with every visit, followed all instructions perfectly, communicated with us every day, left no messes behind, and our pups LOVED her immediately. We will definitely hire her again.”

“Rhiana was great! Both of our kitties were well looked after and happy during our trip out of town. She even got my extremely shy cat to come out and say hello.”

“Ed was excellent in every way and put this first time Rover user at ease. He came by for a meet and greet a few days before. He was timely and sent detailed report cards of each visit along with some of the best photos I’ve ever seen of my pup. 100% will have him dog sit again.”

“She was WONDERFUL! My pup was being stubborn and Karlee was so kind about it. She respected boundaries while still doing what she could to keep him happy. She was SO communicative and patient. I appreciate you!!!”

“Yana is great! She was scheduled for a drop in for my dogs. They loved her and she gave attention to my cat as well (not that he gives anyone a choice). The dogs were happy and worn out when I got home. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”

“Theo had a great weekend! I really appreciated the care, attention, and time spent with him. She kept me updated, made sure he got plenty of walks and playtime, and followed his routine with feeding and everything else. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for Theo, which is always the best feeling. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch Theo again!”

“Virginia is a gem! She didn’t just take care of Mack, she genuinely cared for him! The way he was so calm and happy when we got home told me he wasn’t stressing at all when we were gone. 5 stars for Virginia.”


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.
“Nathan was so helpful! He was willing to fit me in last minute. He replied quickly to messages and even called from the house to make sure he took care of everything I needed.”
“Melissa was a delight to work with from the meet and greet and throughout all communication! The updates, reports and pictures all helped make it feel like her drop in visits were very thorough. I will certainly try to book her again when needed!”


About: I’ve always had several dogs in my household since I was a little girl that were all types of breeds and ages. Pets are definitely family to me. I have one dog and 2 cats. Peaches, Pepper, and Pumpernickel. I've also been a pet sitter to a few neighbors for 2 years. In summers I’ve also volunteered at SPCA as a dog walker. I'm excited to give love to as many furry friends as I can!
“Christian went above and beyond in making my reactive Aussie comfortable and building up trust, and I really appreciated how much patience Christian showed! My Aussie is much more chill with them now, and we’re already booked for more visits and dog sitting! Christian is also meticulous in note taking and communicating, and making sure all the care tasks are performed the way my Aussie is used to.”

“Lindsay did a fantastic job doing drop in visits for my two dogs for a week multiple times daily. She left detailed notes on their day and maps of each walk. I really appreciate her diligence and care for our pets. Thanks!!!”


About: I have a dog of my own. I will make sure yours is well taken care of. I am passionate about animals and will do what it takes to meet their needs. I am currently unemployed so I will have plenty of free time to care for your pups. I am available anytime and am pretty flexible. I take my dog on walks. I feed her twice a day and take her out 4 times a day. I am definitely knowledgeable when it comes to dogs.
“Ireland did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! Very attentive to their needs and I felt confident leaving them in her care. Would definitely rebook with her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
Jordana has been phenomenal with our boy Elroy. She is attentive to details and always gives us updates on how the visit went. She is very communicative and has worked with us many times on last minute changes and needs which we greatly appreciate. Your fur baby will be well taken care of and loved in her care.

Rhiana is such a professional sitter and caretaker that I have nothing to worry every time I travel. She doesn't miss a detail and is agile in unforeseen circumstances like when my cats can't be found because of cleaners or lawnmowers. She's one of the best pet sitters I've found on Rover.

Loved working with Tracy! She was so sweet with my cats and even got my scaredy kitten comfortable enough to come out from under the couch for some pets. This was my first Rover booking and was a little bumpy on my side so I appreciate the open communication throughout the whole process!

Miranda went above and beyond again for us while we were traveling. It was a longer trip this time and she sent updates and pictures every time. She took great care of our home as well. I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again soon.
Virginia was great! She cared for my cat for about two weeks and went above and beyond. She took care of all her needs, played with her, and kept her company while I was away. My cat really liked her, which made me feel much more comfortable being gone for so long. She was also very respectful of my space. I would definitely book with her again!

We booked Nadia on short notice when Storm developed kennel cough just before a multi-day trip which unfortunately forced us to cancel her boarding. To complicate matters, our realtor planned a 3-hour open house while we were away. During our meet and greet, Storm was immediately comfortable with her, and we knew she'd be a great fit. With each drop in visit, Nadia sent photos, videos, and updates, and she was great keeping Storm engaged during the open house. I could relax on my trip knowing Storm would have her medications administered, fed, watered, and snuggled with in the comfort of her home. Nadia is a natural!
