“Lissette and Bernie were super communicative and sent us lots of photos of Pebbles playing, walking and relaxing on her stay! It was our first time leaving her with a sitter while we traveled, and we felt very at ease leaving her with them, especially with her being a puppy!”
“Jesse was very friendly and asked great questions to make sure our dog would be well taken care of. He sent us pictures of our pup enjoying his stay which we really appreciated.”
“Paula took care of Kenny for six days. She did a wonderful job! He is recovering from CCL surgery and she was very attentive to his safety and comfort. He has some separation anxiety but was very comfortable staying with her. I would definitely use Paula again.”
“Svitlana was wonderful with our dog Ruby. We look forward to having Ruby spend more time with her in the future. I would strongly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”
“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.”
“Wonderful experience, I would highly recommend Katrina for watching your pups. My pups were very very happy and I appreciated the daily pictures and videos that she sent. The dogs were definately safe and content !”
“Lina and family were amazing, they took awesome care of Bella and I would absolutely book them again to pet sit my dog. She sent a lot of photos and communicated with us.”
“Cynthia made sure my fairly anxious dog, Obi, was well cared for! This is the first time I’ve left him with someone he doesn’t know, so I was worried at first. But Cynthia kept me updated the whole time I was gone and her pictures and quick updates made me feel so much better about being away from Obi!”
“Aly did a great job of looking after my dog Margarita. She was quick with responses to communication and sent photo updates every day as requested. She was also flexible and communicative with drop-off and pick-up times when plans had to be adjusted. Thanks again Aly for looking after Margarita so well!”
“Hillary was fantastic! Whaley stayed with her for 10 days and we received continuous communication and pictures. He was even hesitant to leave her house when we went to pick him up because he was so happy there.”
“Jenny was the best dog sitter! She sent multiple photos of Maverick and updates about how he was doing. He was able to get his energy out and run around. I could tell he was happy there just from the photos she sent me! I would definitely book with Jenny again.”
“Alice said she had the BEST time EVER staying with you guys! Thanks for doing such a great job at keeping her happy and us posted! Truly a FIVE star performance! :)”
“James was really great with Topanga, quick to respond to questions and messages. I know he took good care of her, and I would gladly leave her with him for a long stay again.”
“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!”
“Julie and her family did a wonderful job looking after my dog Margarita while I was away for a week. They gave her a lot of attention and love and Margarita loved staying with them. I highly recommend Julie to other dog parents!”
About: I’ve always had animals in my younger life from cats to dogs, and even though I only have a cat I continue to love dogs. My current housing situation allows me to share dog sitting and caring of his clients dogs (ages 9 months to 14 years) for the last ten years. Since then I have asked my neighbors for tending to the needs of their dogs be it from a 5 mile walk on and off leash to a 100 yard potty break in addition to giving medications. I’m currently working part time three days a week and an occasional Saturday, so I have the time to care and interact for your furry friend. I live in a neighborhood with easy access to the Rivanna trails and a road trip access to a farm with woods in Earlysville for running in fields. I also have a very tolerant cat who actually enjoys dogs staying with me because she’s learned that visiting dogs often get a treat she’s earned one too. My house has hardwood floors on the first floor throughout access to the carpeted lower level is through a door. The dog would have free range of the house while we were at home and unless he/she is accustomed to be crated.
“Ava is amazing!!!! My 3 girls had a blast all weekend with endless cuddles and so much space to run! Will definitely be using Ava’s services from here on out!!”
“Heather took great care of my dog Maggie. Maggie had a great time playing with other dogs in the big fenced yard and got plenty of exercise. Heather also updated me daily with pictures.”
“Brooke is a literal angel on the earth. After just relocating to the area and not knowing anyone to watch my puppy for a few days, I took to Rover. This was the first time leaving Rue over night with someone and Brooke eased my mind entirely. She was sweet, professional, and responsible and cared for Rue like her own. She sent me pictures frequently and updated me throughout the days. I will definitely be using Brooke again and Rue can’t wait to back and roam the yard and get all the cuddles! Thank you Brooke for being you 💗”
North East dog parents share their Rover experiences
Paula was very helpful in scheduling this visit and made me feel totally comfortable that my dogs were in good hands. The dogs were very comfortable with Paula and she paid attention to all of the little things that I shared with her about them. It was a great visit!
Will and Vanessa are very good with our Dog. They have been taking care of our mini Australian Shepherd ever since we got her. They treat her like she is their dog. Our dog loves to go there. She look forward to it when we go around the corner, she knows where he’s going and she’s all excited. He loves to see their twin daughters as well as their older daughter. They are a 10+
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).
