“Bertie and the family are absolutely AMAZING!! They were able to accommodate my last minute request. I was continuously sent pictures and updates which I really appreciated. They were very gentle and understanding as Fluff is shy and gets anxious. I would 100% recommend Bertie and I would leave Fluff again with them.”

“Jesse and Emily were fantastic with Kimber. Great communication with me and all the love and spoiling for Kimber. I love how they made her part of their family for the long weekend!”

“Paula, was a terrific sitter for Sirius. We really appreciated her flexibility with extending Sirius’s stay when our plans changed. Sirius came home happy and tired. Win win!”

“Svitlana really knows dogs. She walked my dog and sent pics and got to know her quirks quickly. Svitlana also continued with the same house rules we use at home. I will definitely have Pi stay with her again!”

About: Hi there! My name is Catherine. I have grown up with dogs in my house and have always had a passion for animals. I always want to make sure your furry family members feel comfortable and loved while you’re away! I am reliable and make sure to communicate clearly when a problem arises, or just to send pictures because I know you miss your pet. I love going for walks around my neighborhood and make sure to give plenty of cuddles! I am in online school full-time, so I can your pet my full attention during the day. I am very active during the day and am never in the same spot twice, so there will be lots of activity if your dog needs it. I live in a gated community and can accommodate crated dogs. I also do not mind your dog being on the furniture! I do not currently own a pets and I live in a smoke-free household.

“My husband and I travel most places with our fur babies and finding local Rovers when they can't check-in with us. While we have had good success finding trusting and loving sitters, we really were blessed to meet Mark and Daniel. Their attention to detail prior to our pets arrival, their ability to be flexible when my scheduling mistake was uncovered, but most importantly, the level of care my pups received was top-notch. The home is clean, fenced in large yard and they really love what they do. I don't know if we will be back in that area, but if we are I will re-book with Mark and Daniel.”

“Cash had the best time on his weekend stay with Aly. He had a Super Bowl party with new friends! I got lots of updates and could tell he was happy and relaxed. When I went to pick him up he said hello and trotted right back inside, he was not ready to leave! I know he will be so excited to go back to his new vacation house whenever we have to leave town!”

“Ellie had another awesome stay last week. I am so glad to be able to leave my little houndy girl with Katina, who treats her like part of her own family. Thanks! Highly recommended without reservations of any kind. Brian”

“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.”

“Ava was great! She communicated well and did such a good job watching Pepperoni over the weekend. I will definitely be coming back to book again.”

“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!”

“Cynthia does a great job with our Otto. She has a very happy environment and manages our somewhat high-strung dog with kindness and capability.”

Claire B.

“Jani and Jack gave our dog Piper and true vacation while we were on vacation! Not sure our pup wanted to come home. She was very well taken care of and loved just like at home. She made new friends with the two pups that live at the house. Lots of walks and treats. We were all so happy with the experience. Piper will be going back to Jani next time we need a sitter.”

Nancy D.

“Caroline took great care of our boy while we were on a long vacation! We got tons of updates and pictures and our dog seemed happy and tired when we got back.”

Ella B.

“Ashley watched my Lexie, 5 and a half year old black lab, for 6 days. She provided me daily updates and photos of Lexi's activities to keep me informed that she was doing well. I highly recommend Ashley as a resource to care for your dog as well.”

About: Hey y’all! I have taken care of pets, specifically dogs, for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Louisiana with 2 dachshunds in my family home. One of them had diabetes, so I am experienced with giving shots and oral medication. In addition to taking care of the weenie dogs, I had a pet hedgehog and chameleon in high school. I truly love animals of all kinds. I grew up walking and dog sitting for family friends and neighbors. In high school, I was an involved volunteer at my local humane society. When I was in college, I ended up rescuing a dog from that shelter. My parents took him in since I lived in a college dormitory. After I graduated college, I couldn’t wait to get my own dog! Here in Charlottesville, I have 1 dog now, Pretzel, who is a small lab mix. He is also a rescue, and is my world! I can’t wait to meet, walk, and watch your pets! I have a non-traditional work schedule that is unpredictable but also flexible. I go into work most week days, or sometimes work from home. My hours can vary, but I always make time to walk my dog Pretzel multiple times a day with trips to the dog park when I can. I am available on the weekends. In my home, Pretzel roams free. I do not kennel him, as he is potty trained. I want Pretzel to be able to roam around as he pleases. Pretzel sleeps with me every night.

“Heather & her family were a great match for Mía. From the Meet & Greet, to drop off, asking how to best care for her, and pick up…they were responsive, informative, and caring. Thank you!”

“Brooke took care of my dog while I had a quick overnight trip out of town. She was very communicative, sent pictures and was able to be flexible with my pick up time. I know he had the best time as he got home and slept for hours!”

“Arleth is an awesome sitter! Leaving Ziggy can be stressful given his separation/confinement anxieties, but she made us feel completely at ease with her prompt communication and video/photo updates. Ziggy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be rebooking!”

“Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!”
