About: I have had animals since I was very young. I love all types of dogs, and have experience dealing with high energy as well as more relaxed dogs. I also have experience with fostering and rehoming dogs. I work part-time, and set my own hours, so I will have plenty of free time for the dogs! I am open to a set schedule or to flexible, one-off walks and boarding. I live in a log cabin on 10 acres in northern Albemarle county. I have a great field for walks and throwing toys. I have a lot of in-home hobbies, so any dog or cat hanging out with me will get a whole lot of attention and love while they are here.

“Dieira has been amazing and our Izzy just adores her, she has stayed in our home do 2 plus weeks with no issues and checked in with sweet pictures regularly. We will definitely use her services again ☺️”

“Dakota was a wonderful sitter! Dakota came for a meet and greet a few days beforehand, and Wes was immediately relaxed. You can tell how much Dakota cares about taking care of your dog and their individual needs. We got several photos and updates throughout the time Dakota was watching Wes, which really put us at ease. We would absolutely recommend Dakota, and would be happy to have Dakota watch We anytime!”

“We had an outstanding experience with Star as our house and dog sitter. From start to finish, her professionalism, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog, Millie, received exceptional attention, exercise, and affection, and it was clear upon our return that she had been very well cared for. In addition, our home was maintained impeccably. Everything was in excellent order, and we truly appreciated the level of respect and responsibility shown throughout. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates that kept us reassured. We would highly recommend Star to anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated house and pet sitter. Her commitment to both our pet's well-being and our home's care was exemplary, and we would not hesitate to book her services again. Without a doubt, this was our very best house sitting and dog sitting experience in our 25 years of pet ownership.”

“Absolutely fantastic! Kept us updated with photos the entire time!”

“Wrenn was great to work with. She responded quickly to our messages, communicated well, and took good care of our dogs. She was available on short notice and was easy to coordinate with throughout the process. We would be happy to hire her again.”

Bianca H.

“Isabelle stayed in our home with our goldendoodle and took the best care of our boy! We were hesitant to use a rover sitter again after a previous experience, but Isabelle made all those worries go away. She came for a meet and greet and asked lots of good questions, sent daily updates and photos and we could tell our pup was happy and relaxed. We were able to enjoy vacation knowing he was in good hands, and came home to a spotless house. Isabelle is the best!”

“Victoria is so attentive, communicates well, and is caring and fun for my dog to feel comfortable when we are away!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog owner and animal lover who understands that pets are family. Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pup is playful and energetic, prefers leisurely walks, or simply enjoys companionship, I'll provide the loving, dependable care they deserve. I offer overnight pet sitting with personalized care tailored to your dog's individual needs. My services can include feeding and fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, administering medications, reinforcing basic training and good behaviors, brushing and basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, and, of course, plenty of affection and attention. I know how important consistency is for dogs, so I strive to maintain their regular schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and medical support. My experience includes recognizing changes in behavior, managing different personalities, administering medications, maintaining routines, and providing calm, confident care in a variety of situations. Safety is always my top priority, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work 9 AM to 5 PM at a local law firm. Because of my schedule, I can spend quality time with your pet, primarily in the evenings and weekends and early mornings before work. Whether your dog needs playful companionship during the evening or loving care while you're traveling, I'll make sure they receive the attention, playtime, and affection they need to stay happy and comfortable. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind by providing dependable communication, photo updates, and compassionate, professional care every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand. I currently work a traditional day job, but I am available to care for your pups throughout my free time including spending the night to make sure they are well loved and cared for. I prefer to care for the dog in your home so they are as comfortable with the daily routine as possible. I will feed them and love on them as if they were my own pet.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, pigs, peacocks. You name it. I’ve been a huge fan of animals since I can remember. I’m super active outside and love taking pups out on hikes or walks. My last dog had to take meds so I’m also extra sensitive to pups that may need more present care. I’ve dog sat and house sat for many years before and just recently decided to give rover a try. I’m also a photographer so pics of your sweet pea will be guaranteed! I’m a photographer so my schedule varies. Sometimes I’m on a shoot or at home editing. I work part time at a restaurant wed-Friday so am unavailable those evenings. I am generous with my love with pets if they want that. If they are shy I will absolutely listen to what they need and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I am clean and respectful of others’ space and strive to make sure your sweet pup gets the activities they deserve.

About: Not only did I grow up with 2-3 dogs in the house, but my mom has worked for a dog rescue the last 10 years. My family has fostered more than 100 dogs ranging from newborn puppies to end of life care for senior dogs. I have helped with everything from feeding, cleaning, creating enrichment, and exercising dogs of all sizes and ages. I am currently taking time off of work before I move abroad for graduate school in September so am completely flexible! I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets health and happiness! I have a fenced in yard and two super docile and friendly spayed female dogs who have also spent extensive time with other dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I also have spent a lot of time caring for other people’s pets in their homes without issue.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for my whole life. I started my professional animal care working as a farmhand, caring for horses dogs and cats from a young age. I have been a veterinary assistant for 4+ years and am comfortable medicating our furry friends. I've previously trained a deaf puppy for a neighbor. By the end of our time working together the dog had confidently learned sit, lie down, rollover and fetch via hand cues. I'm happy to discuss my availability with you to see if I could potentially be a good fit for your situation. My work schedule is Tuesday - Saturday. I enjoy spending time with the animals I care for. I will make sure any medication are given as prescribed, play with them, brush them as needed or requested. I will contact you if there is any concerns for your fur baby. I am happy to send pictures to you while you're away if that is desired.

“Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having”

Matthew C.

“Tiffanie was great. Even though last minute, she came to meet the dogs before her stay. She took great care of them, sent lots of pictures, was very communicative-commenting on each dog’s personality so you know that she’s spending time with them, and left our house in perfect condition.”

Amy S.

“Caitlynn was phenomenal. I’d never hired someone off Rover and was apprehensive but she blew me away. She sent pictures, ensured the dog got exercise, and was all around awesome. If I need to hire someone again, it would be Caitlynn! I know my pets are in good hands.”
