“Hello! We really enjoyed meeting Jesse and Emily, they are warm and attentive. We really appreciated their wonderful care of our dog Lucy, how they accommodated us for an hour extra day and will definitely call them again! Caroline L.”
“Paula, was a terrific sitter for Sirius. We really appreciated her flexibility with extending Sirius’s stay when our plans changed. Sirius came home happy and tired. Win win!”
“Hannah was excellent at communicating and clearly knows so much about dogs. She made us feel very comfortable and confident leaving our dog with her for boarding. We'd use her again for boarding any time!”
“Nalli loves it here! She always has so much fun. Svitlana is great with communication and sending lots of pictures and videos which we love seeing. Thank you!!”
“My husband and I travel most places with our fur babies and finding local Rovers when they can't check-in with us. While we have had good success finding trusting and loving sitters, we really were blessed to meet Mark and Daniel. Their attention to detail prior to our pets arrival, their ability to be flexible when my scheduling mistake was uncovered, but most importantly, the level of care my pups received was top-notch. The home is clean, fenced in large yard and they really love what they do. I don't know if we will be back in that area, but if we are I will re-book with Mark and Daniel.”
“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 😊”
“As someone who was just passing through Charlottesville to attend a wedding, I was really apprehensive about leaving our two Jack Russell Terriers with someone I didn’t know. Aly was a great choice and just as wonderful as all her five star reviewers had said. She sent photos throughout our time away which was very reassuring. If you need someone while passing through or because you live in the area and need a loving home for your fur baby to hang out, don’t hesitate to reach out to Aly!”
“Rebecca took great care of my Pepper while I was away. She sent daily updates and made sure she got plenty of play time! Pepper loved being able to run around and play in the large fenced in yard!”
“Julie and her family took wonderful care of, spoiled really, our dog Waffles. We are so thankful to have found Julie. We give Julie our highest recommendation for caring for other dogs.”
About: We love dogs and have a friendly 7-year-old pup who gets along well with other dogs. We will provide a safe, loving environment and personalized care so your dog feels right at home!

“Mariellen and Robert took great care of my Lizzy and sent several pictures & updates of her while we were out of town. They kept such good care of her as I believe they would any pet in their charge. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jani and Paul took amazing care of Kona! We hate to leave her, however I could tell she was being totally spoiled with love from the daily photos and updates. Kona is quite active, so they took her on daily walks and played ball with her in their yard. Kona enjoyed watching the squirrels in their backyard and was made to feel totally at home. I would not hesitate to recommend Jani and we already have another visit booked for Kona.”
“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!”
“Caroline was great with our dog, and was a really nice person to meet and talk to. I can highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet.”
“I can't recommend James enough! This was our first time travelling without our dog, and James was very responsive to all of our requests. He sent us daily pictures of her which really helped us since this was the first time we were away from her since adopting. Our dog came home sleepy and happy and it was obvious to us that she was well cared for and enjoyed her time. We're already planning our next trip so that we can book James again!”

We LOVE Bertie and family! They take the sweetest care of Piper and make her feel like family. We never have to worry when we leave Piper because we know she will be loved on by everyone- especially their sweet kids! Bertie and family are our go-to sitters and have watched our pup more times than we can count. We can’t speak highly enough! A must use if you want your pup to get the best care!
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).
Julie and her family took excellent care of Spencer when we were out of town! She sent regular updates and pics so we could see how well he was doing. It gave us such peace of mind to know that he was having great time. We'll definitely be reaching out to Julie again when we need a sitter for Spencer.
Kelley was the ABSOLUTE BEST! She and her husband (and their sweet dog Piper) were the perfect hosts to our dog Baylee. While Baylee has the tendency to get a bit anxious or temperamental around strangers, she made herself right at home due to the welcoming and warm nature of Kelley and her beautiful crew. Kelley was amazing with her communication - regularly sending photos, texts, and updates - so I knew how Baylee was doing the entire time we were gone. As a result, we were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our pup was being well cared for a completely spoiled. 15/10 would recommend Kelley as your next dog sitter... Unless I need her to watch Baylee, because there's no one else we'd use as a dog sitter from hereon out! :)
Tionna took amazing care of my 1.8yo female German Shepherd Dog named Dasha for a full week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She sent multiple updates and photos every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Dasha was well cared for, happy, and getting plenty of attention. When I picked up Dasha, she came back happy, relaxed, and completely herself — not stressed or withdrawn in any way. You can truly tell when a dog has been treated with kindness, and that was absolutely the case here. I would 100% use Tionna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and attentive sitter. Thank you, Tionna!
Paula was absolutely amazing with our dog and made her feel right at home from day one. She took excellent care of her, kept us at ease while we were away, and was incredibly flexible and accommodating when our return travel got complicated. We’re so grateful for her kindness and care when it came to taking care of our pup and would 100% book with her again — five stars without hesitation!
Izzy is the best sitter! Our dog, Maisie, seemed to know this before she even got inside the apartment. All wags and up on the couch and happy before we got down the road. Great communication, too—photos and videos—and a play date at Izzy’s family home with two Doodles on top of all the good care. We can’t wait to book again.

Griffin was fantastic. I could tell how thoughtful and caring he was from when I first reached out. He has a calm reassuring presence and was very attentive to details about Sophie’s care, and immediately responded whenever I messaged him. He also sent me photo and video updates each day wherein I could tell how genuinely happy and relaxed Sophie was with him. It was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about it, and I feel like I got so lucky. I highly, highly recommend Griffin for dog care!!
Brooke did an excellent job taking care of our dog. She was very responsive to all our messages and sent regular updates and photos each day. She was also incredibly flexible with our pickup time after a delayed return flight. We definitely would book with Brooke again!
