“Bertie and Lissette's family were amazing! They took great care of my puppy and were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I will definitely contact them again the next time I am in Charlottesville.”

“Anna was great! She took great care of my dog and my place while I was gone! She communicates well, sends frequent updates. Will rebook with her in the future!”

“Kristen is the sweetest! Our pups had a lovely time with her, and we're so thankful for her help! Cannot recommend her services more. We have 2 dogs who are relatively high-energy, and she cared for them very well.”

“Christian is the BEST dog caretaker we’ve ever had! She also stayed at our house and took great care of the house as well. She took our dog for a walk 3 x a day, gave her lots of love & cuddles & kept the house clean and did all the trash & washed our dogs bowls, vacuumed & stripped the bed. She is so communicative, professional, responsible and kind! We highly recommend her.”

“When we read Danielle's profile we knew she was the perfect match for our older dog. Danielle was always quick to reply, great with our dog, sent lots of pictures throughout, and kept us informed about how our dog was doing. We also appreciated that Danielle was willing to schedule some meet ups before our booking to get to know our dog, and let our dog get to know her. We booked Danielle to stay overnight, and our house was exactly as we left it. We cannot say enough good things about Danielle, except that we will definitely book her again in the future”

“Catherine was incredible! She stayed overnight with my two cats for three nights. She was super communicative, sent me a lot of updates, my cats loved her, she was super caring and loving with them! I had no doubt that they were being cared for and they were receiving the attention they needed. Went above and beyond making sure I was coming home on time to their feeding time and offered to come back if I had any problems. Additionally, she took wonderful care of my apt and everything was spotless when I came back! She is very knowledgable and a total Animal lover!! My cats and I thank you so much!!”

“This is my first time using Rover. We were visiting the city and Kala was excellent!!!! It was the a horrible storm and she came anyway. After the storm, she took my dog out for a walk and did puppy training with her. Kala sent me pictures of my puppy while in her care. My puppy fell in love with her! She is the best!!! I wished she lived in my home town!! She is worth every penny.”


“Kailyn was so professional and communicative. She takes her job seriously and it shows. My babies were healthy and happy when I returned from my trip, and that’s everything! I came home to my house in order, and a darling personal note from her with little photos of my dogs attached. Best experience I’ve had with a Rover sitter. Peace of mind is something you can’t put a price on!”


“Bryn was great! My pets can both be shy and slow to warm up to people, and they loved her! Both Piper and Beckett ended up snuggling with her while she stayed with them. I appreciated that she stayed overnight with them, left my apartment as clean as it was when she arrived, and even took my trash out for me. Thanks, Bryn!”


“Kris was great! I felt very secure and comfortable knowing she was looking after my pups! Tulip is a very skittish/nervous dog and Kris sent me a picture of her cuddling, which is proof right there that she’s great with all types of dogs! Will definitely book again in the future!”

“We were getting married and needed someone who we could rely on as we wouldn't have cell service all weekend. Nathan did all that and brought the dogs for a photo shoot on the big day. We both appreciated having someone who we could trust with our two dogs!”


“Anne took great care of our two dogs and two guinea pigs during our two-week trip. We felt very comfortable having her house-sitting and she was great about keeping the dogs' routines going on as normal. She was very responsible and was friendly and engaging with our pets. We were very happy to have her here at our house for our pets.”

“Charlotte did a wonderful job watching our dog and cat at our home for a combination of 13 days. Our dog was having GI problems and she communicated everything with us, gave her meds, and left the house super clean. Our pets were happy and calm when we came home thanks to her wonderful care. We will book with Charlotte again!”

“Rosey watched my 5 month old pup for a few days and she was a great sitter! She kept me updated throughout the stay and made sure my dog was well taken care of. In addition to the great care, she left the house in great condition! I would highly recommend her and she will be my first choice in the future. Thanks Rosey!”

About: I grew up with large dogs and cats and have a beloved rescue cat now. As a young person, I housesat, babysat, and took care of animals throughout my neighborhood and my parents’ friend group. I am used to taking care of my family’s dogs when they are out of town. All I need is an introduction and instructions. I am a kind, mature, and responsible person -- a homeowner myself -- and would be happy to take extra care with simple tasks (like collecting mail and watering plants) while I’m checking on your animals. Let me know how I can help and provide peace of mind while you are away! I am currently working part-time from home and finishing a graduate program at UVA so I have a flexible schedule. I prefer early morning and evening checkins/walks (in case I do need to go into work). I can be available to stay overnight if needed. In my client's home, I really want to provide as much continuity as possible. That means emotionally supporting and reassuring your animals and maintaining their schedules and habits with food and medication. It also means fun, a chance for your companions to experience a new friendly face in a safe environment. In my home: My cat is a rescue that came out of a very difficult situation. She is wonderful and we're so proud of how far she has come from the terrified animal we first adopted. I do not feel that she would welcome other animals into our home at this time, however.
“James did an awesome job with our Pisgah! James gave our pup so much exercise and attention that she was the happiest and most tranquil I’ve ever seen her after we’ve left her with a sitter. Highly recommend, will book again!”

“Tracy was an incredible house sitter! She took great care of our pup, left our home excellent condition, and was regularly in contact with us throughout our time away. I can't recommend her enough and we are certain to contact her again when we need someone to look after our dog.”

“Maddie was absolutely awesome! She was super quick to respond and sent us lots of pics while we were away. She also left our house in great condition and Winnie was so happy when we got back! We definitely recommend her! 😊”

“Dakota is our Housesitter of choice. He is very responsible and careful with our beloved dogs and our house. It makes our vacations much more peaceful, knowing everything is in Dakota‘s hands.”

“You want Mackenzie taking care of your fur babies. She's stayed with our pup before, and when our pup saw her again she was thrilled! This trip we even had a weird weather that closed schools and Mackenzie was great. She helped to calm our concerns when we were so far away. We will certainly use Mackenzie again.”

Melinda was absolutely incredible. She really came through for us at the last minute. She was amazing at communicating, stayed overnight with our animals, and took incredible care of the space and the animals! Will definitely be hiring again and would recommend her to anyone for everything from walks to house-sitting.

Mackenzie stayed in our home with Maverick for a week while we were away, and it was such a comfort knowing he was being cared for in his own home. She sent us pictures and updates every day, which I really appreciated and always looked forward to receiving. She also brought in our mail and helped with watering our flowers while we were gone. Maverick was happy and doing well when we returned home, which of course was the most important thing to us. We appreciated Mackenzie taking care of him and would definitely consider having her stay with Maverick again!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Danielle. She was absolutely incredible from beginning to end, and I genuinely don’t think we could have found a better person to care for our pets. I was extremely anxious about leaving them, especially because our dog, Merlin, can be anxious when we’re away and requires a little more patience, attention, and understanding than the average dog. Our cats also have their own personalities, routines, and anxieties, so trusting someone else with all three of them was a really big deal for me. Danielle completely put my mind at ease. She followed every single care instruction to a tee and was so attentive to all of the little details that matter to us. More importantly, though, she treated our animals with so much genuine love, patience, and kindness. She took the time to make Merlin feel comfortable and secure, kept up with his routines, gave him plenty of attention, and handled his anxiety beautifully. She even handled his grooming incredibly well, which was another aspect of his care that meant a lot to us. Merlin is a Samoyed with a lot of fur and grooming him can require patience and a gentle approach, and Danielle did an amazing job making sure he was comfortable while still taking such great care of his coat. I was genuinely impressed by how confidently and patiently she handled him. She was equally wonderful with our cats and allowed them to warm up to her at their own pace while making sure they felt safe, loved, and cared for. Seeing how comfortable they became with her was incredibly reassuring. Danielle also went above and beyond when it came to communication. She sent us frequent updates and so many wonderful photos, told us how everyone was doing, and gave me an incredible amount of reassurance throughout the entire time we were away. She seemed to understand without me even having to explain just how hard it was for me to leave them, and her updates allowed me to actually relax and enjoy our trip because I knew our babies were in such capable and loving hands. What stood out most was that this never felt like someone simply “watching our pets.” Danielle genuinely cared about them. You can tell when someone is just completing a list of instructions versus when someone is truly invested in making your animals feel happy, comfortable, and loved, and Danielle was absolutely the latter. The amount of care and compassion she showed them meant more to us than I can adequately put into words. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a home that had been treated with the utmost respect. Knowing that Merlin and the cats had someone so loving and dependable with them while we were gone was priceless. If you are an anxious pet parent, have pets with specific routines or needs, or simply want someone you can completely trust with the animals you consider family, I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough. She exceeded every expectation we had. We are beyond grateful for everything she did for us and our fur babies, and we would trust her with them again in a heartbeat. She is truly an absolute gem, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their pets. We definitely look forward to having her stay again❤️

This is my first time using Rover. We were visiting the city and Kala was excellent!!!! It was the a horrible storm and she came anyway. After the storm, she took my dog out for a walk and did puppy training with her. Kala sent me pictures of my puppy while in her care. My puppy fell in love with her! She is the best!!! I wished she lived in my home town!! She is worth every penny.

Bryn was great! My pets can both be shy and slow to warm up to people, and they loved her! Both Piper and Beckett ended up snuggling with her while she stayed with them. I appreciated that she stayed overnight with them, left my apartment as clean as it was when she arrived, and even took my trash out for me. Thanks, Bryn!

Maggie was amazing! We came home to a happy, well fed, well walked dog! She did housesitting and not only took great care of our dog she also watered the plants, took trash out for collection and left the house wonderfully clean. She was communicative, sent updates and pictures and we felt comfortable with her at our house and dog while we were abroad for 10 days. Would highly recommend her!!
