“Danielle was amazing at loving on our pets, keeping to their routines, and sending us updates. We look forward to using her again and again as a sitter for our fur babies!”


“Jordan did a great job taking care of my dog, Beckett! She sent plenty of pictures and even knitted a little paw for me while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was tidy and bonus ran my dishwasher and stripped the bed for me on her last day. Would absolutely recommend Jordan!”


“I never like leaving my dog for an extended period of time, but Mary made it not only comfortable but a pleasure to see that I can and should relax during travels and place trust in such a competent professional. I can't thank her enough for the excellent service.”


“Brooke took excellent care of my cat while staying with him for a long trip. She followed his care instructions and sent me great updates and photos. Made me feel much better about being so far away from my cat. Would definitely reccomend Brooke!”


“James was amazing! He took amazing care of our tiny dachshund and senior hound who have such different needs (as well as our house) while we were gone for 9 days. He sent wonderful updates and pics each day. Will absolutely book again!”


“Tessa was amazing with our two hyper dogs! She was patient, kind, and communicative from start to finish. She definitely made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies for a few days-sending pictures at least once a day! She even washed the bedding and towels before leaving which was so over and above what we ever expected of her. I highly recommend using her for any and all pet needs. We greatly appreciate all she did for us!”


About: I grew up with dogs, and in the last few years have been regularly petsitting for friends and mutual friends who need a dog lover to give them peace of mind that their pets will be cared for and loved on even when you're away :) I work full time, typically either 11-6:30 or 12-8:30 Tues-Sat (usually off Sunday and Monday). Infrequently I have later a later shift depending on work needs, and that usually means 3-11. Overall, I can be available in the morning, evening, and overnight around my work schedule! I'm an active person and love walks, so I can take your pet on very long walks and provide lots of play! I can take them out to the bathroom in the morning and evenings, and feed + administer medicine as needed. Overall, I enjoy getting to spend time with dogs so they will be watched and looked after (....and given lots of treats but that's between me and them)

“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”


“Samantha was an absolute joy to have pet sit overnight. She is extremely responsive and timely, and she follows any directions you give her. She loved up on our 2 crazy bulldogs as if they were her own pups. Samantha even administered eye drops to our English bulldog, which I know is not an easy task. Sadly, she was faced with our Frenchie having some swallowing issues, resulting in 2 vomit incidents. She cleaned that and reported it immediately to me. She left our home cleaner than when we left! I am very picky about my dogs. I would highly recommend Samantha and look forward to our next trip.”


“Christian is the BEST dog caretaker we’ve ever had! She also stayed at our house and took great care of the house as well. She took our dog for a walk 3 x a day, gave her lots of love & cuddles & kept the house clean and did all the trash & washed our dogs bowls, vacuumed & stripped the bed. She is so communicative, professional, responsible and kind! We highly recommend her.”


“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”


“This is the second time we’ve had Jack watch our pups while we were gone for a week. He did great as always! He gives us consistent peace of mind while we are away, knowing the dogs have good and caring company.”


“Jessica took such good care of our pup! He often gets anxious when we’re away but Jessica put him at ease. She was so punctual, communicative, & friendly, sent us lots of photos, & left our home neat and clean. Thank you, Jessica!”


About: I have been involved with animal care since the age of 7 ranging from cats and dogs, to smaller pets, to large farm animals like horses and sheep. I am currently a graduate student at UVA and am so excited to bond with your pet! Channeling my passion for animals into a means of supporting my education is an absolute joy and I look forward to spending time with pets from all walks of life. Just message me to coordinate and we can make premium pet care happen for your furry loved one with my flexible schedule. I can help crate pets and am diligent about minding doors and gates. I am also mindful of interacting with other animals while caring for yours.

“Madison and Ryan were amazing with our furbaby! We did a quick trip, but our pup was left in great hands. They were very attentive in making sure Nestle was comfortable and that my separation anxiety was at ease :) I received several adorable photos! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”


“We were a little nervous about leaving our pup with anyone, but Mackenzie was great. She sent us pictures every day and checked in about any questions that came up. Her questions showed her experience with dogs, and really put us at ease. Our pup took to her, and seemed to enjoy having her around. We will certainly use her again.”


“We could not be happier with our experience having Samantha as a house sitter - she went above and beyond! She shared multiple updates with pictures each day, left the house spotless, and even took our young pup for trail walks which she loves. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again or recommend her to other pet parents looking for a house sitter!”


“One of our dogs is getting older, and can be a bit of a stress case with being left places when we are out of town. So, we decided to call LaTrice and have her come stay at our house. When we got home, the dogs were relaxed and happy. We'll definitely book LaTrice again. Thank you LaTrice!!”


“Always on time and ready to play! Nathan treats our active fur babies as his own! We never have to worry when Nathan is on the job! He is fine juggling 2 pups with different temperament’s/ keeping them safe and happy!”
