“Lina and family were amazing, they took awesome care of Bella and I would absolutely book them again to pet sit my dog. She sent a lot of photos and communicated with us.”

“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!”


“Mary and her boys kept Lulu for one evening, and we have booked again~ They are welcoming, excited to care for your dog, and very genuine. Her boys, especially the younger 2, Hayden and Elliott were right there to offer care to my dog. She was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Highly recommend!”

“Paula took great care of my anxious dog, Peaches, during a long overnight stay while I was recovering from surgery. She was patient, calm, and attentive, and Peaches absolutely loved her. I felt confident knowing Peaches was safe and well cared for the entire time. I would happily book with Paula again.”

“Bertie, Liss and family are absolutely wonderful! It was the first time leaving my puppy overnight and they were kind, responsive and helpful. They took great care of my pup, treated her like their own, and sent lots of updates. I can’t recommend them enough and will absolutely book with them again!”

“Aly was great and Rory had an amazing time! She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on her the whole time. She was also super flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to pick her up late. All around wonderful experience!”

“Jesse was very friendly and asked great questions to make sure our dog would be well taken care of. He sent us pictures of our pup enjoying his stay which we really appreciated.”

“Yana is amazing! She took such great care of my dog and sent daily pictures and updates which gave me peace of mind that he was happy and healthy while I was away. Highly recommend her!”

“This was our first time leaving Pepe with a sitter and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, you never really know who you’re leaving your dog with. But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Riley, for treating Pepe like your own dog, we truly appreciate it.”

“Jani & Paul are just the best our dogs absolutely love them and are so relaxed at their place. They come home like nothing has happened. I so so grateful to have found them they're just perfect”

“Our 3 dogs stayed with Brooke for 2 nights and had a blast! Her massive fenced yard provided the perfect spot for play time, and Brooke is incredibly kind and professional with the dogs she takes care of. She provided photos every day, and even gave our 1 elderly dog her daily medicine. When we picked the dogs up, it was clear they’d had a wonderful time with Brooke. We highly recommend her!”

“Beau was really part of their family for the week and had a wonderful time! So well cared for. We also got regular updates and pictures from Hillary. Highly recommend!”

“Hank came home exhausted which means he had a blast. Cynthia did a great job in every Dept from communication to updates throughout the weekend. We were extremely pleased with her work.”

“Linkin had a wonderful time with Julie and her family! I could not have asked for a better communicator, and “fill in” dog mom while I was away! Linkin was well taken care of and sooo happy! Thank you for your help!”

“Ava (as a host) and her space (big back yard) were the perfect match for our Australian Shepherd (Ridge)! She was super responsive, sent plenty of picture/video updates, & our pup LOVED his time there. We will definitely be booking Ava again when we go on trips and need someone to watch Ridge 😊”


About: I’ve always had animals in my younger life from cats to dogs, and even though I only have a cat I continue to love dogs. My current housing situation allows me to share dog sitting and caring of his clients dogs (ages 9 months to 14 years) for the last ten years. Since then I have asked my neighbors for tending to the needs of their dogs be it from a 5 mile walk on and off leash to a 100 yard potty break in addition to giving medications. I’m currently working part time three days a week and an occasional Saturday, so I have the time to care and interact for your furry friend. I live in a neighborhood with easy access to the Rivanna trails and a road trip access to a farm with woods in Earlysville for running in fields. I also have a very tolerant cat who actually enjoys dogs staying with me because she’s learned that visiting dogs often get a treat she’s earned one too. My house has hardwood floors on the first floor throughout access to the carpeted lower level is through a door. The dog would have free range of the house while we were at home and unless he/she is accustomed to be crated.
“Katina went above and beyond our expectations! She was very loving to our golden doodle puppy, Sam, taught him behaviors, kept in touch with us every day with a photo and message, and generally put all our worries to rest. We recommend her with no reservations!”

“5+ stars!! Mark and Daniel are wonderful. They are kind and gentle and made the whole process seamless. Our energetic German shepherd had surgery a week before our trip and they were able to help keep him comfy, monitor his healing, help give medications, and spoil him! We would absolutely book with them again and recommend to anyone who is nervous about leaving their pup! Very communicative and they truly go the extra mile to care for your pet like it’s their own ❤️”

“I would definitely recommend this boarder to anyone who wants the Best Care for their Furry Family Member! He is respectful, shared photos, and his communication is right on point!”

Main-Starr Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Will and Vanessa are very good with our Dog. They have been taking care of our mini Australian Shepherd ever since we got her. They treat her like she is their dog. Our dog loves to go there. She look forward to it when we go around the corner, she knows where he’s going and she’s all excited. He loves to see their twin daughters as well as their older daughter. They are a 10+

I always know Doc’s in good hands when he stays with Jesse and Emily! They take great care of him and totally welcome him into their family. The photos they send me warm my heart as I see how happy Doc is in their care. It’s always a win when they can keep him when I travel.

Penny was an outstanding sitter to work with. Our pups seemed to do really well with her and her own dogs. She was very accommodating, a great communicator, and super easy to work with in every respect. We were also sent plenty of pictures throughout their visit. I’d recommend Penny to anyone looking for help with their pet(s).
