My previous sitter canceled last minute and she responded and agreed to care for my Bailey at the last minute. I’m so grateful!

About: I've been taking care of animals of all kinds since I was 12! I started volunteering early with a local humane society and have been active in rescues ever since. I have also fostered dogs from two months-10 years old, including medical fosters, so I'm comfortable giving pets medicine if need be. I currently work at UVA in their communications office, where I have a lot of flexibility, especially on Thursdays and Fridays when I work remotely. I'm available most weekends and many holidays! I live in a shared house with a unfenced backyard and a couple of roommates, both of whom love dogs! There's a trail near me that I enjoy walking dogs on if they are OK with other people/dogs. Otherwise, I take dogs on walks once or twice daily.

North Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
I couldn’t be happier with this family! They took such sweet care of Piper and treated her like their own. I received plenty of photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear she was getting so much love and attention. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again and will be recommending them to any friends who need a caring, reliable dog sitter!
Great experience with Madison and Ryan. They were very responsive and all communications sent. Great updates including pictures took really good care of Cody, including plenty of woods walks and attention. They also managed his limes disease medication for the long weekend. Would definitely book with them again!
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!
Isaiah is an incredible individual. Our dog is a senior and he is not an easy dog to manage at this point of life, but the dog still is loving life and has quality time left. Isaiah was so loving and caring of our dog and we knew that our buddy was in the best of care. I appreciate Isaiah for his time, energy, and communication from start to finish with us and to our dog. Seriously, beyond appreciative of Isaiah.
This was my first time using Rover, and Nicholas was a Godsend! He was able to accommodate my last minute request, when a previous booking fell through. He was kind and flexible with my Roscoe! He sent me updates and pictures, which showed the Roscoe was doing well. I will definitely recommend and book with him again!
