“Hillary provided updates including photos and videos of my pup Daisy at a cadence that kept me worry free but was not excessive. Daisy came home happy and looked well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Oh my! This couple is amazing on so many levels! They treated Maggie like she was their own, welcomed her into their home and made them part of their life for the weekend. Multiple daily walks, exceptional feedback, and photos of their great adventures. Not only are they the best pet sitters you can find, they are truly exceptional human beings. You should have no hesitation in leaving your fur baby in their care! Best seen to date!”
“Jocelyn was very accommodating and very good with our furbaby while we were in town to attend our granddaughter’s wedding. Our baby seemed happy and taken care of. Thank you Jocelyn.”
“This was a first for us and our boy Cam. Deb and Ralph were the perfect people to have as our first pet sitter. After the settle in period between Cam and Deb and Ralph it seems like all went smooth. Deb sent us a few pics and kept us updated on how our boy was doing. They were a very nice couple with plenty of room for our active boy. We highly recommend using Deb and Ralph. We will be using them again. Thanks Rover.com for having a great site that we can use when we need a couple days of R&R and a quick get away. Thanks Deb and Ralph and Cam is looking forward to his next stay with y’all.”
“I am incredibly thankful to have discovered Joe! As someone who travels frequently, finding quality care for my dog can be an overwhelming experience. After some research, I decided to give Rover a try and stumbled upon Joe's profile. After reading the glowing reviews, I reached out to him, and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I contacted Joe, he was warm, friendly, and had a great sense of humor that immediately put me at ease. I ended up booking a four-day stay for my dog, Elsa, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. Ironically, I found out that a friend of mine also knew him, which made me feel even more comfortable. When I picked up Elsa after her stay, I was amazed by how relaxed and happy she was. Typically, she can be anxious after a change in environment, but this time was different. She was bright, cheerful, and completely stress-free. In fact, when I dropped her off, she seemed so comfortable with Joe that she didn’t even notice I was gone! I've already scheduled more time for Elsa with Joe, and I can confidently say he will be my go-to caregiver from now on. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and creates a loving environment for your pets, Joe is the one! Highly recommended!”
“Gregory was fantastic with my rambunctious, snoring, food-inhaling Tootles. So thankful for his attention to Toots’ needs and for the frequent updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle was great. Very accommodating, pleasant, and communicative, and followed instructions carefully. Our dog seems to have had a great time. We don't need a sitter very often, but would not hesitate to use Danielle again. Thank you!”
“Tiffanie is amazing, and cared for my dogs as if they were her own, she went above and beyond assuring they had a fulfilled wonderful day. I'm looking g forward to Tiffanie taking care of my dogs in the future!”
“Cory saved the day by taking Gizmo in ! He was caring, attentive and went beyond the call of duty to wear Gizmo out and relax in their beautiful home in Crozet. The mountain property is Lovely and close enough to town . So grateful to Cory for helping me out last minute and with great care and generosity go Gizmo’s never ending desire to play and play some more . Kudos to Cory and his family for making Gizmo one of their family .”
“Beth was fantastic. We had never left our girl for so long but she made it super easy…sending pics and updates on a regular basis. We will definitely be using Beth again!!”
“Svitlana was wonderful with our dog Ruby. We look forward to having Ruby spend more time with her in the future. I would strongly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”
“Excellent care. It was a sudden drop off, my dog was very happy. He was very excited with whole family. I got pictures almost every 1-2 hours. I felt so comfortable. Thank you”
About: I grew up with pets and now love taking care of pets of all ages for family and friends! I have had success building trust easily with animals. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate your pet’s normal daily schedule. I am available for walks in the field on my farm and also at parks. I have a large one story home with a screened in porch sitting on 5 acres. Your dog or cat is welcome on furniture or can be crated for sleep if preferred.
“Jenesis is just the best. I got plenty of updates and pictures of my girl having the best time with her golden :) my dog came home with a goody bag of assorted treats and a toy she hasn’t stopped playing with since. I felt at ease knowing my Finley was in good hands the whole time 💗”
“My dog is a lovable but nervous dog. She is reactive to people, cars and dogs. Jackie was a perfect match for my active and rather nervous standard poodle. Medications were not a problem even though my dog is resistant to the pill process. Jackie is an experienced and caring sitter. I highly recommend her. Hats off to Jackie and Tom!”
