House Sitting in Kelly Town-Rugby Heights, Charlottesville, VA

“Kailyn took great care of our pets while we were out of town! She was very communicative and knowledgeable! We have one very big anxious boy who takes forever to get comfortable with new people and he was comfortable within minutes of meeting her!! We also have two outside asocial cats that loved Kailyn too!!!”

“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”

She sent regular updates, followed their routine, excellent communication, and our kept the house so neat and tidy!

She is an excellent sitter overall and I would highly recommend her!”

“Paige sat for our dog Dixie while we went on vacation for a week. She took great care of her and Dixie was chill and non stressed when we returned which means she had a great time. Paige kept us updated throughout the week and sent pictures. We’ll definitely reach out to Paige anytime we need a sitter in the future so don’t hesitate to book her for your pup!”

“Kiri stayed at my apartment with my small dog for 4 nights. She was meticulous about following my instructions, provided regular updates about how he was doing, and left my apartment in perfect shape. It was a relief to know he was in good hands. I hope that Kiri will stay with him in the future when I have to travel!”

“Christian was great to work with. I was using an in-home sitter for the first time for a two week trip. They spent extra time getting my nervous dog comfortable after a rocky first night! Lots of updates each day, brought in mail, took out trash, in addition to walking, feeding and hanging out with my dog. Would definitely recommend them for future needs!”

About: I have worked at a dog kennel and doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes. I have also been petsitting for 15 years. I am an absolute animal lover and will care for your dogs like they're my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages who take medication. Growing up, my family dog needed an insulin shot twice a day, so I am absolutely able to administer any medicine necessary. I currently work 9-5 Mon-Fri and take care of my own dog during the afternoons. I am available to walk or visit your dog in the afternoons as well. I am available on weekends to overnight sit and\or walk your pets. I live in a woodsy neighborhood that is very walkable. I am also 3 minutes away from a fenced in park where I can take your dog to run around.

“James was amazing! He took amazing care of our tiny dachshund and senior hound who have such different needs (as well as our house) while we were gone for 9 days. He sent wonderful updates and pics each day. Will absolutely book again!”

About: I always had animals growing up and loved taking care of them. I came to UVA and got a job as a veterinary assistant at a local emergency hospital to be a part of the animal care community and have learned a lot about not only treatment but also things to look out for in animal behavior and symptoms. I love all the animals I get to take care of at the clinic and will love yours just as much! I am a Masters Student now at UVA so I have breaks in my day to do errands and play with or walk your pets! My schedule varies depending on project priorities, but I will be there for your pet if I can! I am always very respectful to the place and home the pets I care for live in. I clean up after any accidents and always leave the place just as I found it! I like to have introductions with pet parents first just so I know where everything is that I might need, and the special ways each pet is cared for. I treat every pet with the love, kindness, and care that I would my own and that includes their space too!

“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of dogs, cats, birds, ferrets... basically ever animal you can imagine. I’m flexible, very experienced, and love staying active—I’m happy to run, hike, play, or just hang out with your pet, whatever they need! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so feeding, walking, and playtime are built into my schedule. I have free mornings during the week and weekends. I can be flexible to fit your pet’s needs. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. From feeding and long walks to cuddles, I give each pet the attention and care they need.
