About: I’ve loved animals since before I could walk and I’ve spent a lifetime caring for them. Having worked for the CASPCA I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about what it means for our pets to truly thrive and what they need to lead happy healthy lives. Our family treats your pet like they’re our own and make him/her feel right at home. They will spend their days with tons of enrichment activities; daily walks, tons of play time and endless snuggles if they’ll let me and so much more. This is my passion, loving animals and helping people. What more could you ask for? I would absolutely love a chance to chat with you and answer any questions you have. I’m a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day/at night just as you would if you were home! I can adjust our schedule to fit your pets needs so they feel right at home and stay on routine. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your furry friend to play and two active pups who love a play date with friends. All interactions with your pets and ours will be closely monitored to ensure everyone’s safety. I will get information from you about your preferences and schedule for your pet so I can mirror that while they are staying in our home. I will do everything possible to make your pet happy and comfortable while you are away!

About: I’ve experienced some behavioral challenges with dogs before, as well as medical challenges. And work my best to create a fear free environment when working with any animal! Currently available anytime! Would love to have the ability to work with your animals and still have the time to give my animals the loving they deserve as well! I walk my dog every chance I get while working on any minor behavioral or fear based problems to insure my baby can live a full healthy happy life.
“Dakota was friendly, flexible, and reliable. Sam always enjoyed his time with Dakota. Dakota interspersed neighborhood walks & trips to the dog park with visits to Barnes & Noble and other places. We will use Dakota again without reservation and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for years on and off for friends and family. Love any type of dog and am very attentive. I love the outdoors and taking nice, long walks!

About: Hello, I’m Danielle Bryant and my husband is Lee Carl. We adore all animals! My husband and I have adopted multiple pets of our own from SPCAs. I personally have owned lots of dogs and cats, a few fish, a hedgehog, a turtle, and hamsters. We believe that every animal deserves lots of love and a caring, warm home! I promise to always give my best to your fur (or non-fur) babies and keep them in good hands while you’re away. It’s important for you and your pet to be comfortable with who is taking care of them. We’re comfortable with all ages and sizes of dogs! I am available on the weekends and weekdays. Mornings and evenings before and after work! I can be flexible and work around both of our schedules to see what fits for us both. I work at a spa in charlottesville, but my shifts are typically no longer than 6 hours. My husband’s schedule varies too so one of us can always be available. Pets are always in the best care with us. My own pets even sleep with me and I love pet cuddles! I can be flexible to do whatever you need me to do! I can feed, water, walk, play, and bathe your dog! I’d love to become besties with your pet! I often times catch myself having full on conversations with them 🤣
About: I have had dogs since I can remember! I have worked in kennels and dog grooming. I have worked with all different breeds and sizes. I have raised and trained many dogs of all breeds. Currently, I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I have a 9 year old daughter who has been raised with all animals and is very comfortable around dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a golden retriever who is super friendly! I do have a crate in my house if that is needed/preferred.
About: I have experience caring for dogs in-home, in a pet hotel, and managing on leash fun. I also ample experience working with exotic pets, zoo animals, and wildlife! There isn’t a species I can’t lovingly and competently care for. Mediation Administration, diet management, and special needs care are my specialties. I provide written updates and pictures of your pet having fun after each visit! When I’m not working as a wildlife care professional, I set aside time to care for your pets! I am available on Tuesdays and Wednesday's, and some other mornings. I request a video meet and greet first to determine if we are a good match. Then, I will get detailed care instructions from the pet owner and will follow them to a T! Always making sure to allow some time for lots of animal cuddles.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have been dog-sitting since I was 12! My favorite part is taking dogs on multiple walks a day, it is such a strong point of connection and exercise for them! I’m currently working part-time while in graduate school, so my schedule is very flexible! I am off work during the summer, so more availability ! I make sure that I am gentle and warm when first meeting pets, to build the rapport! I also ensure to implement how the owners take care of their pet, so it feels familiar!
About: I am an animal lover, from cats and dogs, to rabbits and gerbils! I have two dogs of my own who I love to look after and spend time with. I am a responsible, caring, and considerate person who will always prioritize your comfort and convenience- and your pet’s comfort! I just graduated from high school and will be available to pet sit for the summer before I start college. I am looking for little jobs that I am highly interested in to earn money before college, which would help me a lot to pay for expenses. I am home mornings and evenings, with the occasional babysitting in the afternoon during the week. I normally stay home on weekends. Overall, I will always be able to give your pet(s) a ton of attention, love, and affection! My house is on 2.5 acres, but also has a smaller gated area just for the dogs so the little ones don’t escape through the larger fence. Although, if you have a big dog, the larger backyard area is entirely fenced in- the large yard is perfect to play in! The house also has a separate pet area inside, but, for the most part, the dogs will be in the house with me. My family and I keep a clean home and do not smoke, so your pet(s) will remain safe and healthy in my environment!

I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home and your pet’s space. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well looked after. I work full time but have a very flexible work schedule and can make caring for your pet a priority in my day to day schedule! I am very comfortable playing with your pets outdoors or taking them on long leashed walks to get some activity for the day! I mostly enjoy tailoring each experience to the pet and owners needs!

We can play fetch in the yard on the nice days or play inside the house on days it's too hot or raining. I can give medicines that are routine or special occurances. I can clean up any accidents left behind so you come home to a clean house after your day at work or away. I can help with training to solidify any tricks or behaviors you're trying to accomplish with your dog! I'll be sure to show your fur baby the same level of love and attention as if they were my own! I work night shift, so I am used to weird hours if needed! I am a runner so I can take your dog with me if they need a little extra exercise! I will treat your dog like they are my own! I will gladly give treats, meals, extra potty breaks, walks, runs, whatever is needed for your pet!
About: I’ve had furry companions since the day I was born and couldn’t imagine life without them now. I’ve had cats, dogs amongst many other species of animals.

I have 4 kitties who are rescues and are not used to having dogs around and I wouldn’t want to cause anymore stress or trauma to my precious furry family.
Lake Monticello dog parents share their Rover experiences
Bryana was great with Emmy Jo! I knew based on Emmy Jo's happy welcome to her from our first meet and greet that all would be well. Bryana was right on time for Emmy's walk and feeding. The photos we received assured us Emmy was in good hands. We will definitely be scheduling future dog sitting with Bryana!
