House Sitting In North Downtown Charlottesville, VA

“I was nervous to leave my cat, as I have never left her with a non-family member before, but Mary was wonderful! Mary came by before the trip and was great with my cat. She updated me during the trip, and when I returned, my cat seemed very relaxed and content. I will definetely be booking again!”

“Sarah is extremely responsible. She loves going on walks and making sure dogs feel loved and cared about. She is reliable and easy to communicate with! I would trust Sarah to watch and take care of my fur babies.”

“Victoria did a great job!”

“Julia is wonderful with our two dogs, and is very communicative and sends regular updates with photos. Would recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter they can trust.”

“I absolutely recommend Morgan! She was professional, attentive, and communicative both before and throughout her stay with my dog. It was such a relief to know my dog was in caring hands, and I really appreciated how she took the time to send multiple photo updates. I look forward to working with Morgan again!”

“Samantha was such a reliable sitter for our pup! She sent detailed updates and made us feel at ease on our 4 nights away from our dog for the first time. Would highly recommend her dog walking/sitting services! Thanks Samantha!”

“The girls were happy and well cared for. Best experience I’ve had for a while using river. Also took care of my home! Will use again!”

“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our two doggies! She was very calm and patient in dealing with our anxious rescue dog who takes a while to warm up, which was invaluable. She also paid great attention to detail and was flexible when our plans changed at the last minute. I highly recommend Lindsey and will hire her again!”

“We have had Mary Katherine watch our dogs and cat twice now and each time she has been dependable, and sends updates and photos frequently while we’re away. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. Currently, I have a 3 year old cat named Noodles who is my child that I love! It would be so much fun for me to take care of your pets and make sure they are happy while you're away. I am currently working part time and attending grad school at UVA. My grad school also requires for me to do clinical rotations which can make my schedule vary. I am typically free weekdays after 6 or 7pm, and I’m usually free almost anytime on the weekends. I will try my best to make a time that works for both you and your pet, and I will make sure to make them as happy as possible! I am currently living in an apartment with my cat. I believe in keeping a clean and safe environment for humans and pets to feel at ease. I’ve been watching over other people’s pets since I was in middle school, and I’d love to watch yours as well!

“Isaiah was great with our rambunctious and needy dog. He spent a great deal of time with him which is what our dogs needs. He kept up posted with texts and pictures, asked questions when he wasn’t sure about something which I appreciated. Very reliable and took care of our mail, garbage and plants while we were gone for a week. I would definitely recommend him!”

“Highly recommend Johanna for your pet sitting needs. She watched my pup in my home for a couple of days and provided excellent care! Communication was prompt and Johanna provided lots of pictures. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”

“We felt at complete ease with our fur babies in Mariah’s care. She is an excellent communicator and checked in frequently with updates about our puppies. Mariah walked them often sent a steady stream of pictures and videos of our dogs. She enjoyed playing with them and kept up with their high energy/big dog personalities! She even vacuumed under the couch and retrieved toys from the “toy graveyard.” We will definitely ask Mariah to care for our dogs in the future!”

“Kevina took care of my dog, cat, and house for a week while my family and I were at the beach. She was great-she sent me photo updates of my pets daily, took my dog on on lots of walks, and left the house spotless. We will definitely ask her to come back! She was professional, communicative, and so sweet with the pets. Thank you, Kevina!”

About: I’ve watched many different breeds of dogs for neighbors, family, and friends for the last few years and have cat sit for several friends. I’m super reliable, trustworthy, and love to meet new pets. I currently work 9-5 during the week but work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am an early riser and generally have evening and weekend availability! In my current apartment, I’m not allowed to have a pet :( Growing up, I’ve always had dogs and cats and making sure they were always safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and affection was super important for me. I like to be firm but caring with my own animals.

“Avantae was a fantastic sitter! We will definitely be using her services again in the future. This was my first time using Rover and the first time hiring a sitter for my dog so Avantae was great at keeping me up to date with how my pup was doing each day. She also clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and dog sitting so my mind was at ease leaving my dog at home for the first time. Highly recommend!!”

“Rosey was amazing and I would rebook her for pet sitting before any other! It took us a while to connect on this service date and she was unfailingly patient. My pets were completely unruffled by our absence, which is not always the case. Photo updates were welcome and reassuring but not intrusive. As for the house, you wouldn't even know she was there. All in all a "10" for us.”

“Diego took great care of our pup. He was very good at keeping us updated while we were away and included many pictures in his updates. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned home.”

“Nina is a very reliable and responsible petsitter. Missy was well taken care of on our recent trip. We are so pleased and lucky that she will be petsitting Missy again!”

“Allyson is great! She came through when I had a last minute travel hassle and took great care of my pup. Would highly recommend.”
