“Penny was incredible! She treated our dog like one of the family. Penny was also very communicative, letting us know how our pup was doing throughout the weekend. Could not recommend more highly!”


“Kat is the only rover we use! After bad experiences with others, we can’t imagine using anyone else. I trust her wholeheartedly with Jetty and know my pup had the best time. She looks forward to going to “Zoe’s house!””


“This sitter literally saved me! Another sitter canceled right before my flight and in a matter of minutes they have responded and took my pet in with welcoming arms! They communicated efficiently, updated me every day throughout the day, and most importantly my dog was himself around them. Heaven sent family ! Don’t waste your time and book now!🩷”

“Cynthia is definitely the best dog sitter I have met! Her and her family are incredibly sweet. My previous sitter canceled last minute and she responded and agreed to care for my Bailey at the last minute. I’m so grateful! Not only is she prompt with response, but she sent frequent updates and pictures. She has a big back yard and took Bailey on a fun excursion! Definitely worth the drive outside of Charlottesville! Will highly recommend!”


“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!”


“Hillary is a great sitter. A dog lover, she was so engaged and involved with our 2 Goldens during the week they stayed with her and her family. She sent multiple pictures, videos, and texts every day. The dogs were in great shape when we picked them up and it was clear that that they had been very well cared for. It is so comforting to know that your beloved pets are in good hands and Hillary exudes that type of confidence in her care. We are empty nesters and could tell from the videos and pics that the dogs loved playing with her children. I highly recommend Hillary!”

“Rebecca was a great host for our 1 year-old pitbull. We were out of the country for 3 weeks and she gave regular updates, which put us at ease. Our dog got plenty of play and made new friends, would definitely do again!”


“Jani and Paul were wonderful dog sitters. They have a big fenced in yard and a beautiful home where the dogs are treated like royalty. I picked up my dog around dinner time and they had the thoughtfulness to feed him before I picked him up and also gave him a toy that he loved to play with. Jani and Paul were recommended to me by friends who use them with regularity as well. I would use them again for sure!”



“My dog loves going to see Charissa! It makes going on vacation a pleasure knowing that he loves being in her care. Her and Alex have great set up for multiple dogs and they are very attentive to the different personalities and makes sure everyone is getting along. If not there is a spot for that dog too. I recommend her to everyone.”


“Linkin had a wonderful time with Julie and her family! I could not have asked for a better communicator, and “fill in” dog mom while I was away! Linkin was well taken care of and sooo happy! Thank you for your help!”


“Amazing sitters!! My pup was so well taken care of and came home relaxed and happy. I really appreciated their updates and thoughtful care. Definitely the best experience we’ve had. I will be booking again!”
