1. Skyla B.
“Skyla was absolutely great! Handled complex apartment procedures well and made sure to prioritize my dog during her drop in visits while I was away. Her updates were great and gave me peace of mind.”
2. Kirtly R.
“Kirtly was absolutely fabulous with letting our puppy ember out! Ember got all her energy out and was so happy when I got home every day. Will definitely use again!!”
3. Carolyn & Jeremy C.
“Carolyn was incredible! She was communicative, helpful, and clearly very experienced with animals. She took wonderful care of my 2 cats and dealt with my cat who is newly on anxiety medication (and doesn’t take nicely to having a stranger stuff a pill down his throat) so well!! I would absolutely use her again the next time I go out of town! :)”

“Great job!”
5. Bertram Z.
“Above and beyond. Thanks for everything!”
6. Courtney H.
“Great cat sitter, strongly recommended. Courtney was able to watch my two cats on a short notice and did so well with them. They got play time, lots of pets, and fed each day. She sent nice little updates and pictures each visit. I was sold when the shy cat immediately walked up and rubbed against her, which typically only happens to me. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
7. Penny H.
“Penny was wonderful! She was very detailed in her communication regarding the care of our 7 yr old German Shepherd. She went above and beyond by getting our mail and even offered to have her husband come sit with Maverick during a thunderstorm. We would absolutely request her again for future needs.”
8. Rhiana Q.
“So sweet, reliable, & communicative- exactly the person you’d want taking care of your precious pets when you’re away. Thank you so much for doing such a stellar job!”
9. Melissa L.
“Melissa was great! She was very friendly and good with my dogs. She showed up on time, followed our instructions, and sent us updates. We would definitely recommend her!”
10. Sydney R.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life, since dogs have always been part of my family. Right now, I have a 12 year old Labrador (Teddy) and a 3 year old Labrador (Willow), so I have experience with all ages! I am starting my senior year of college at the University of Virginia and am happy to help around my class schedule & on short notice! My dogs are trained to not leave our yard’s perimeter, but before they were trained I would take them out on leash. As puppies, they spent time in crates but now they longer use them.
11. Danielle S.
“Thank you so much Danielle! She did a great job with my pup and stayed in contact with me! This was the first time I’ve ever used Rover and would recommend Danielle anytime!”
12. Alexa R.
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my cats! Alexa went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I returned to two very content kitties. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
13. Brynna S.
“Brynna was excellent!! She did a great job of communicating with us and was always very timely. We loved seeing the pictures and updates she sent us, and it was clear our fur babies had a great time with her :)”
14. Abigail V.
“Abigail was great! Patient while I was figuring out scheduling stuff. The kittens absolutely loved her. She was consistent with great photos and check ins while I was away. Really positive experience”
15. Jessica L.
“Jess takes great care of my sweet old dog who needs a high level of attention. I trust her to follow his med schedule and routine to keep him comfortable while I’m away.”
16. Caroline H.
“Caroline was a great sitter! She took great care of our dog while we were at our wedding. She gave us peace of mind about our pup when we had a million other things going on! We would certainly use her services again.”
17. Doris S.
“This is our second time having Doris as our cat sitter. She’s an amazing cat sitter! She is friendly, detailed, and reliable. We highly recommend her! 😀”
18. Samantha R.
“Unfortunately my husband got Covid, so Samantha was able to walk my dog. But she came by to meet us, and walked the route. She also sent me a note of good health wishes for my husband. I gave her my house key, and she promptly returned it. I will call on her again when needed”
19. Robert H.
About: I have two cats and no dog of my own currently, but I'm looking forward to meeting yours! I have been volunteering with the CASPCA for some time now and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Hope to hear from you soon! I work full time from 8:30 to 5:00, so I would be best suited for early morning walks, shorter walks around lunch time, or nights (if you work late). I'm more flexible if you need someone for walks on the weekends or holidays. I do all I can to make sure my pets are happy, healthy, and safe. They mean so much to me and I know your pet means a lot to you. I'll be sure to take down detailed information or instructions if your pet needs special care or consideration.

“Charlotte has done a really great job watching our golden retriever early on as a puppy and a year later in her older stages! Would 100% recommend for pet sitting!”
