1. Dakota W.

“Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.”


2. James B.


“James is such a great dog walker. He’s proactive, communicative, sends pictures and updates, and our animals love him! I hope to use his services for years to come!”


3. Chelsea C.
“Chelsea has sat for my dog Daisy on two occasions. She stayed at my place while she cared for her and I could not have asked for a better experience! I could tell she really cared about Daisy's needs and also was a very clean house guest. She communicated regularly and was a lovely person to work with. When I returned home, Daisy seemed very happy!”


4. Amy S.
“Amy is a kind, caring person who has loved animals her whole life! She goes above and beyond to care for her own and other animals and she would be a great choice to help care for yours. Her genuine spirit is felt my all and animals love her! She’s a natural!”


5. Emil F.

“I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!”


6. Kiersten K.
“Kiersten is an exceptional pet sitter who has cared for both my dog and cat on multiple occasions. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly loves animals. My pets absolutely adore her! I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!”


7. Christian A.

“Christian has been such a blessing for us during the last month! She has been so accommodating with our schedule and the needs of our two pups, Finn and Otis. Christian is attentive, caring, and she goes above and beyond when she’s working with us and our dogs. She is a great communicator and is always punctual. We are so lucky to have found her!”


8. bailey l.
“Bailey is an extremely responsible caregiver for animals. Being my roommate for nearly 5 years now, she has helped me take care of my own cat when I go out of town, and treats her as her own even when I am there! When it comes to caring for animals, Bailey does much more than the bare minimum of ensuring safety and food. While these are essential, Bailey understands that playing and interacting with animals is equally important. In other words, your pets will not only be taken care of, but they will also have fun playing, going on walks, and interacting. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for someone to watch their animals!”


9. Doris S.

“Doris is fabulous—responsive and professional. She’s only walked our beagle twice, but he’s already so excited to see her. And he comes back happily tired.”


10. Caroline D.

“Caroline did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Sulley!! She communicated well and kept me up to date on him. Will ask her to care for him again :)”


11. Scott S.

“Scott is seriously awesome. He’s my dog’s regular walker but every at the last minute during a weekend he was able to pop over and check on Rooster - I can’t thank him enough. And my dog LOVES him”


12. Sloan K.

“Sloan was fantastic with my energetic pup! She was on time and took her on a much needed walk around the neighborhood. She followed my requests perfectly and I felt confident my fur baby was in trustworthy hands.”


13. Maura D.

“Maura is amazing!! She took care of my baby boxer while I have to run inside a UVA building to see my daughter science competition. She saved me! Then she returned later to stay with my baby Fify, so I can go back in for the award ceremony. Thank you Maura!!!”


14. Andrea M.
“I highly recommend Andre as a pet sitter on Rover. She is incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive with animals. I’ve seen how much love and patience she gives to every dog she cares for, treating them like her own.”


15. Hannah H.
About: I have been involved with animal care since the age of 7 ranging from cats and dogs, to smaller pets, to large farm animals like horses and sheep. I am currently a graduate student at UVA and am happy to care for your animals any time! Just message me to coordinate and we can make it happen with my flexible schedule! I can help crate pets and am diligent about minding doors and gates. I am also mindful of interacting with other animals while caring for yours.


16. Nathan L.

“Nathan always takes such good care of my girl! He’s very responsive, and super easy to work with. I highly recommend Nathan for your dog care needs.”


17. Cailyn D.

“We hired Cailyn to walk our dog, Beesly, and were very pleased! We had some last minute changes to our schedule and she was very flexible and accommodating. She had great communication while trying to iron out the details and it looked like our girl really enjoyed her walk. Will definitely be using Cailyn in the future!”




18. Rachel B.
“Rachel is very responsible and a great pet owner. I would trust her with any of my pets. She has watched my dog many times with no problems.”


19. Julie N.
“Julie N. provided excellent dog sitting services for my furry friend. She took great care of my dog and made sure to keep me updated with pictures and messages throughout the day. I could tell that my dog was well taken care of and having a great time with Julie. She even took my dog for long walks which my pup absolutely loved. I highly recommend Julie N. for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Julie, for all your help!”


20. Livvy Y.
“Livvy is the pet-sitter used by animal professionals! Both my partner and I are pet professionals (human-animal bond researcher and accredited service dog trainer), and are very selective about who watches, and how they watch, our dogs — and Livvy is our go-to! Livvy has been our pet-sitter on many occasions and has done a fantastic job each time. Both our adults have special behavioral needs that can make pet-sitting more difficult (reactivity, compulsions, etc), and Livvy has adapted to their needs without complaint. Livvy is great about communicating with us about them (and submitting fun pictures to us!) during our vacations, and I couldn't recommend anyone more.”
