“Our dogs were in great hands with Tessa! Tessa was very patient with the our 3 dogs and provided such great care of them. Her updates and attention to detail and care for the dogs gave me much ease while we were gone. I would happily and confidently recommend Tessa to anyone!”

“We hit the jackpot with Lindsey! She watched our 4 pets after a last minute booking and did a wonderful job of following our instructions/requests and keeping us informed every day. One of our dogs got sick and she quickly notified us. We came home to some happy animals!”

“Dakota, this review is written also as my gratitude. Thank you again for all your time and attention to my dogs for such a very long time (12 days!). They were content and happy when I got back. And the house was spotless! (You didn’t have to clean up!) I felt safe leaving them with you and deeply appreciated your daily updates and photos. I hope you and Spam would be willing to help us out again in the future 😊!!”

“Dawn took great care of my 3 boys! She was very professional, a great communicator, arrived exactly when she said she would. Gave timely updates. Left my house immaculate. The dogs were very happy when I got home which of course is the most important thing. Dawn will definitely be coming back to take care of my boys in the future! Highly recommended”

“Bertie and Lissette's family were amazing! They took great care of my puppy and were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I will definitely contact them again the next time I am in Charlottesville.”

“Danielle did an AMAZING job taking care of our kitties. One of them needs a lot of medication but that didn’t seem to phase her. They were well taken care of, got very comfortable with her in a short period of time, and we got a lot of adorable pictures. We will definitely be hiring her again.”

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.

“Lindsay was great with my puppy Hank! She was available last minute, flexible with my unpredictable schedule and super responsive! She followed all of my instructions and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her again!”

“Keri was great with our pups! She took them to a park and sent so many picture and videos of them and it looks like they had a blast. Highly recommend!”

Marissa B.

“Our dogs fell in love with Nathan right from the start. He was great taking them out for walks, feeding them, playing ball with them, and cuddling with them. We will definitely use Nathan again!”

“Paris is great! Took awesome care of my dog, all with relatively short notice. :)”

“My fiancée and I feel like we’ve hit the jackpot after adding Abi to our lives! She came to our home before our trip to meet us and our girls, ask plenty of questions, and see how the dogs responded to her presence. She is warm and patient, and even our super anxious/epileptic dog took to her quickly (a rare occurrence). She was meticulous in reviewing our care instructions for our needy crew (two dogs on several meds). She texted us pictures while we were away, asked follow up questions, and truly put our minds at ease seeing how much she cared for our girls. We can’t thank her enough for the ways she impressed us, and hope to have her return soon!”

About: I’ve grownup with family dogs my whole life. When I was 13 I started a small dog walking business around my neighborhood. When I was 16 I got my own dog who became my best friend. When I was 18 I did an internship at a dog boarding place. I’ve had experience with all kinds of doggy personalities and can’t wait to get to know your pup! I have my own pitbull mixed dog named Coco who I care for daily. We go on adventures outside and spend a lot of time cuddling. She is the most important thing to me in the world. I care deeply for animals and I take the time to get to know each animal individually because making them feel loved and safe is my main goal. I am able to bathe, give medication, etc.. if needed. I am very comfortable with all aspects of dog care.

“Montana was great! I've used her twice now and would recommend! She checks in and I know my dog is well cared for when she's there!”

“Madelyn was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my cat, Yuki! 🐾 She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout my trip, which gave me total peace of mind. I came home to a very happy and well-cared-for kitty, and the house was just as I left it. I’d highly recommend Madelyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

Jenna K.

“Catherine was incredible! She stayed overnight with my two cats for three nights. She was super communicative, sent me a lot of updates, my cats loved her, she was super caring and loving with them! I had no doubt that they were being cared for and they were receiving the attention they needed. Went above and beyond making sure I was coming home on time to their feeding time and offered to come back if I had any problems. Additionally, she took wonderful care of my apt and everything was spotless when I came back! She is very knowledgable and a total Animal lover!! My cats and I thank you so much!!”

“Zach was a new sitter to our family and I am so glad we met him through Rover! He took the absolute best care of our dog and cats, and our house, while we were away for a few days. It was so nice knowing our furry family members were in great hands. He definitely treated them like his own and I have a feeling they're going to miss him now that we're home! We can't wait to have Zach back again!”

“Sterling was amazing with our high maintenance dog! He’s a lot and she did great with him. She sent updates and pictures every day, and left our home spotless! She is very responsive to all communication. Highly recommended.”
