“Thank you so much Amy for providing such great care to our Hunter! The pictures and videos you provided throughout the day were priceless! We look forward to sending Hunter back to you! It’s hard to find such a level of comfort when leaving furbabies!”
“Kathryn was a WONDERFUL pet sitter for our little English bulldog, Daisy. She kept in touch with us and sent updates. We could tell Daisy really enjoyed her stay! Thank you, Kathryn!!!”
“Our family was going through a really tough time and Nadia came to our rescue! She treated our puppy like her baby and provided updates and pictures multiple times a day which made us feel so safe and secure. She even made scarves and necklaces for our sweet pup and made her feel like a princess. We had an issue come up where we needed to schedule extra days and she was so kind and accommodating. Our puppy was so sad to leave her. I’d recommend Nadia to anybody and everybody and I can’t wait to be able to book with her again in the future. She’s now my puppy’s godmother😅 and she’ll always be my go-to.”
“Casey is amazing. It was our first time leaving our dog with anyone and we were delighted to see her on daily walks and sleeping soundly under her Christmas tree. She took the time to get to know Luna and sent daily updates on how she was doing/feeling. Casey was also very flexible and understanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much!”
“Bertie, Liss and family are absolutely wonderful! It was the first time leaving my puppy overnight and they were kind, responsive and helpful. They took great care of my pup, treated her like their own, and sent lots of updates. I can’t recommend them enough and will absolutely book with them again!”
“Jocelyn was very responsive, understanding and patient. My pup is nervous and quirky and she made me feel comfortable leaving him at an unfamiliar place for several days!”
“We were very pleased with Jesse & Emily’s care for our pup. They clearly enjoyed keeping him and sent us multiple updates & photos. We particularly appreciated photos of their kids enjoying our pup’s company. We expect to be return clients.”
“Sophia was amazing! She was very flexible about drop off and a last-minute booking with only a few days notice. She sent daily pictures and our pup was loved to pieces and had very attentive care. We have used several Rover sitters with positive experiences and Sophia will definitely be our new go-to!!”
“Deb is fantastic! Maci was well cared for and was a little under the weather when we dropped her off, and she returned home happy and eating well. We are new to the area and feel relieved to know we can travel in the future and have a great sitter for our fur baby.”
“Jani and Paul treated Leo like he was part of the family. He received so much attention and love, I’m not sure he wanted to leave! Thank you so much for giving Leo such wonderful care.”
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.
“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!”
“Ava was fantastic with our two huskies! We got lots of pictures of them having a blast in the backyard with new friends. We are grateful to have found a local sitter!”
“Laura was so accommodating. My other sitter canceled the morning of and Laura was able to watch my pup the same day. She even came home from work during lunch to meet at my scheduled pickup time. She sent lots of pics during Rocky’s stay and even gave him a mini report card so I could see how he did. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Svitlana was an absolute gem of a find! I left my fur baby with her for 17 days, and my girl was so well taken care of- it brought so much reassurance as we were apart for that lengthy period. Numerous walks, play dates with other dogs, tug of war - all captured on videos and pictures that she shared with me. I highly recommend her as I will be using her again in the future!”
“Cory saved the day by taking Gizmo in ! He was caring, attentive and went beyond the call of duty to wear Gizmo out and relax in their beautiful home in Crozet. The mountain property is Lovely and close enough to town . So grateful to Cory for helping me out last minute and with great care and generosity go Gizmo’s never ending desire to play and play some more . Kudos to Cory and his family for making Gizmo one of their family .”
“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!”
“Gretchen was incredibly responsive, supportive, & communicative — especially for a last-minute request. If I’m in the area again and need a dog sitter, I will definitely reach out; the care from her community of neighbors was incredible! I particularly appreciated their transparency & consideration for Bugs’ needs.”
“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.”

“I was worried about my cat since her brother had recently passed and I had to leave for a week. Tyler spent time with her to make sure she wasn't too lonely. It was very nice to not have to worry about her while I was away! Most cat sitters do not stay for the 30 min, but Tyler made sure she was well taken care of. :)”
“Casey did a wonderful job of caring for our three kitties while we were away for a week. Casey is very dependable and trustworthy. She did a great job of communicating with us while we were away. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I love cats. I have adopted a cat who was abandoned when a neighbor moved. He has changed my life. He is such a sweet boy and petting and brushing him is one of my favorite pass times. He was wary of humans at first but he has warmed up to me as well as my family members.
“Tiffanie was amazing with our dog, Loki. She took him for walks and gave him so much love, he probably didn’t even realize we were gone. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”
“Eman is wonderful! It was obvious from the beginning how much love and care she has for our fur baby! And our Cookie loved her immediately! I highly recommend Eman and will definitely be using her services again!”

“Zeigh took excellent care of my cat! She sent me pictures daily. My cat plucks clumps of hair out when stressed and he did not do it the whole time Zeigh cared for him-14 days. That shows she made sure he felt safe, loved, and all his needs were met! I couldn't be more happy with her and highly recommend her as a fur baby caregiver.”

About: I’ve had a dog my entire life except for a few very lonely months in 2020 after I lost the love of my life, Romey, the naughtiest lab with the best sense of humor. I grew up with labs (mostly ) but now have Gizmo, a labrodoodle , who will soon become BDE (best dog ever) if he can finally learn how to not jump like a kangaroo when he sees his dog friends. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. I’d walk, feed and love on my neighbors and friends pets. I hope I will be the one you call and who you can trust with your furry BFF. Whether you have a long day at work or a weekend vacation, I’ll be there for you! I work part time on the weekends up on the mountain and have lots of time during the week to help out with your dog! I have a fenced in play area in my back yard and crates, dog beds and a designated “dog room” where your pet can relax in solitude or with Gizmo!
About: Lifelong dog owner with decades of experience caring for dogs both big and small. I work from home and am able to provide maximum companionship and plenty of exercise. Boarders or daycare get 2-3 walks/day, dozens of photos, and lots of love of course! I provide toys, bowls, a dog bed, treats, poop bags and a backup leash. A tired dog is a good dog :) feel free to bring your pet’s crate if you’d like! I grew up with border collies and labs, then rescued my own dogs in adulthood. One of my rescues was a very sick 3-month old puppy that I raised, so I am well-versed with puppy care. I do not currently have pets living in the home, so your dogs will have the run of the place! I own my own home on a quiet circle street. My yard is an expansive quarter acre of grass with access to miles of mowed walking paths off my backyard. When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on a “Welcome Walk” to get acquainted in neutral outdoor space. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I look forward to taking care of your wonderful pets! I work from home, so I am flexible for drop-ins, last-minute needs, or regular walks, and can give your dog consistent companionship…and some fun of course! Rain or shine, I am happy to take them out. I provide a treats (if allowed), a dog bed, bowls, toys and backup leash (but I prefer you bring the leash your dog is familiar with!). Please feel free to bring a crate if you’d like to crate your dog! When a visit starts, I like to take the dogs on “Welcome Walk” where we get acquainted in the great outdoors. This allows me to build our bond in neutral space with plenty of positive stimulation for the dogs. I prioritize safety and clear communication (with owners and dogs!) to create a comfortable experience for all. I have used the clicker training method in the past, and do not believe in any form of domineering or physical correction. Your dog will have a stable experience here!
About: I have been a dog and cat owner/lover/advocate my whole life. I miss having my own pets so much so I pet sit during our travels and while we are home too! I’m a massage therapist and energy worker so animals LOVE my touch and calming presence. I’m very active and love long walks. I’m totally comfortable with large dogs. I have retired early so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to travel to pet sits. I tend to do pet sitting in Florida during the months of January and February. I love having dogs and cats in my home. There is a little river behind my house and the national forest and Sherando Lake Recreation Area is just beyond the river so there’s lots of space for long walks. Pets will get lots of loving care, tons of cuddles, and undivided attention while under my care and I will walk for as long and far as your dog (or cat) wants to.
“Jani & Paul were able to graciously accommodate my puppy for daycare on very short notice. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and will most definitely be booking again. The best!!!”
“Hillary did a fantastic job watching our dog for the day. She is great at communicating and flexible. With our drop off and pickup times. We would definitely use her again. We really appreciate her letting us know details about his day.”
“I was desperate to get a dog sitter when we were in town visiting with our daughter and Casey came through for us! The doggies loved her and she wore them out. :) highly recommend!”
“Madison is great. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her care again. My Jaxson can be very nervous without his pet parents but she handled him like a pro and he did seem to enjoy his time with her.”
“Margaret was the perfect sitter for our little dog, Hattie. From the moment that we arrived to drop off Hattie, Margaret met us with a warm smile and put us right at ease that Hattie will be well taken care of. Margaret updated us with pictures over the afternoon, and when we came to pick up, Hattie was was in a great, happy mood. We have no complaints with the experience, and would gladly leave Hattie with Margaret again.”
“Crystal did a great job caring for our two dogs Max and Cody. She and her family obviously loved dogs and our two took to her immediately. Her place was great and the dogs were able to spend time outdoors. She gave us a worry free day. Highly recommended.”
“Another great week with Dana! Oakley loves playing with Red and her nephew. Oakley is also being socialized with cats which is a huge plus. Oakley is always happy to be dropped off and tired from all the fun when I pick him up.”
“Sue is great with Amos. She is also fast to respond when asked a question and to scheduling requests. We were nervous leaving Amos in someone else’s care, Sue quickly put us at ease and Amos enjoyed his first daycare with her!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for years. I have a small dog myself. Her name is Willow and she is 18. She is sincerely my very best friend. If given the option, I would be with dogs over people. They bring me so much joy and laughter. I only work a few hours a day and have a very flexible schedule so I will be able to meet your pets routine needs. I am very flexible on taking care of your pets. If they are not good with my dog, I have options not to have her with me.
“Brooke is a fabulous person. Three couples descended on her with three dogs and she never batted an eye. There were updates and pictures during their stay. You are the best Brooke. Thank you.”
“We were so excited to have Jack with Arie and Leigh as one of our first tries with day care as they are so experienced with dogs in general but especially labs. All went very well, great communication and what a wonderful family and property for Jack to play and even had a furry friend! Will plan to use them again and very much recommend.”
“We were visiting the area and needed a sitter in a pinch. Cory responded within minutes and was ready to take Juno in that same day. His house sits in a wonderful wooded area and is perfect for dog walking. He took Juno in, introduced her to his dog and cats, sent pictures, took her for a walk. It was clear he has experience and he and his family genuinely love to take care of dogs! Juno was happy and calm when we picked her up. We were very lucky that we found Cory and definitely highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I love dogs and cats. I love animals and have no problem spending my free time taking care of and playing with some fur babies. I have a pug that I've had since she was 6 weeks old. I also have a cat who I took in after his old owner abandoned him. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8-5pm in Charlottesville. I am more than happy to stop by after work if needed or if you want me to stay at your place I can take care of the babies before heading to work to make sure they are fed and worked. Can work with a lot of schedules. I do make and sell jewelry so there may be a few weekend days where my availability is limited due to already committed to a craft show In my house I try and take my dog out every 2 hours. In the summer my pug is sensitive to heat so we do short walks around our driveway. She is a bit spoiled and will not go outside in the rain so I do also have experience cleaning up puppy pads and encouraging their use. My cat is both indoors and outdoors so he goes to the bathroom outside but also have a litter box inside I clean every few days for him.
About: New to Rover, but not to pet care :) I grew up with animals great and small. I've had dogs of all sizes, cats, horses, snakes, mice, chickens, and one skunk. All of my dogs are rescues, so I'm no stranger to reactive dog care and I'm well-versed in positive reinforcement training styles. I love all animals, but I've got a real soft spot for the senior babies. I recently lost my own 16 year old pittie, so I'm comfy in a space that may require a little extra effort. I'm a weightlifter in my free time, so I can easily help any size senior with any mobility issues 💜 I'm starting on Rover after losing my 13 year career in analysis to federal funding issues. My schedule is quite flexible and free, though I do have to be home at night to care for my own four-legged family members While I'd love to offer care in my home, I do have my own pets and introducing new babies to the mix can be stressful for all involved. In your home, I will love on your fur babies as if they were my own. They'll have a cuddle buddy (if they choose), engaging playtime, and treats (if you choose). I also spend quite a lot of time at the gym I own in downtown Charlottesville, so if you'd be comfortable with field trips, I'd happily take them out for some extra socialization.
“Casey was pawsome! She sent pictures of the dogs every time she came to walk them. She even brought dog petters with her. Our dogs were happy, walked and fed on the schedule we laid out. Very happy with the service ??”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, pigs, peacocks. You name it. I’ve been a huge fan of animals since I can remember. I’m super active outside and love taking pups out on hikes or walks. My last dog had to take meds so I’m also extra sensitive to pups that may need more present care. I’ve dog sat and house sat for many years before and just recently decided to give rover a try. I’m also a photographer so pics of your sweet pea will be guaranteed! I’m a photographer so my schedule varies. Sometimes I’m on a shoot or at home editing. I work part time at a restaurant wed-Friday so am unavailable those evenings. I am generous with my love with pets if they want that. If they are shy I will absolutely listen to what they need and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I am clean and respectful of others’ space and strive to make sure your sweet pup gets the activities they deserve.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets over the years. Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and bathe their pets. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday after 11am. I live in a small neighborhood with places to go for walks and have lots of backyard space. Perfect for playing fetch with your pups!
About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every pet. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need consistency, potty breaks, playtime, and basic routine reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra patience, medication support, or additional comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents always know their furry family members are happy and well cared for. I’m able to help out on Monday-Friday or Saturdays and Sundays. Let me know what fits your needs and I will be more then happy to accommodate! I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Especially in their own home. I do not accept boarding as my currently home is renting.

About: I absolutely love animals and have had them through out my entire life. I have experience from working at “Dogtopia” to “Home away from home, dog boarding”. I understand the importance of family and would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have experience providing care for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and monitoring health. I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.

About: In a home with lizards, fish, a cat, a dog, and a flock of chickens, I spend my days tending to the heard. Animals all with their own unique personalities and each requiring different levels of care. Feeding, Bathing, Grooming, Spoiling with TLC, I do it all! I am a new mom and spend my days at home so I have a lot of free time to pop over and care for animals as needed At my house the dog and cat are indoor/outdoor pets who come and go when the please, as the door is usually wide open! Because of this I usually opt. to care for pets in the comfort of their own homes and abide by the routines they are adapt to.

“Thank you so much Amy for providing such great care to our Hunter! The pictures and videos you provided throughout the day were priceless! We look forward to sending Hunter back to you! It’s hard to find such a level of comfort when leaving furbabies!”
“Our family was going through a really tough time and Nadia came to our rescue! She treated our puppy like her baby and provided updates and pictures multiple times a day which made us feel so safe and secure. She even made scarves and necklaces for our sweet pup and made her feel like a princess. We had an issue come up where we needed to schedule extra days and she was so kind and accommodating. Our puppy was so sad to leave her. I’d recommend Nadia to anybody and everybody and I can’t wait to be able to book with her again in the future. She’s now my puppy’s godmother😅 and she’ll always be my go-to.”
“Casey is amazing. It was our first time leaving our dog with anyone and we were delighted to see her on daily walks and sleeping soundly under her Christmas tree. She took the time to get to know Luna and sent daily updates on how she was doing/feeling. Casey was also very flexible and understanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much!”
“Jocelyn was very responsive, understanding and patient. My pup is nervous and quirky and she made me feel comfortable leaving him at an unfamiliar place for several days!”
“We were very pleased with Jesse & Emily’s care for our pup. They clearly enjoyed keeping him and sent us multiple updates & photos. We particularly appreciated photos of their kids enjoying our pup’s company. We expect to be return clients.”
“Sophia was amazing! She was very flexible about drop off and a last-minute booking with only a few days notice. She sent daily pictures and our pup was loved to pieces and had very attentive care. We have used several Rover sitters with positive experiences and Sophia will definitely be our new go-to!!”
“Deb is fantastic! Maci was well cared for and was a little under the weather when we dropped her off, and she returned home happy and eating well. We are new to the area and feel relieved to know we can travel in the future and have a great sitter for our fur baby.”
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.
“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!”
“Ava was fantastic with our two huskies! We got lots of pictures of them having a blast in the backyard with new friends. We are grateful to have found a local sitter!”
“Laura was so accommodating. My other sitter canceled the morning of and Laura was able to watch my pup the same day. She even came home from work during lunch to meet at my scheduled pickup time. She sent lots of pics during Rocky’s stay and even gave him a mini report card so I could see how he did. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Cory saved the day by taking Gizmo in ! He was caring, attentive and went beyond the call of duty to wear Gizmo out and relax in their beautiful home in Crozet. The mountain property is Lovely and close enough to town . So grateful to Cory for helping me out last minute and with great care and generosity go Gizmo’s never ending desire to play and play some more . Kudos to Cory and his family for making Gizmo one of their family .”
“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!”
“Gretchen was incredibly responsive, supportive, & communicative — especially for a last-minute request. If I’m in the area again and need a dog sitter, I will definitely reach out; the care from her community of neighbors was incredible! I particularly appreciated their transparency & consideration for Bugs’ needs.”
“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.”
“Heather was amazing! She was so warm and friendly and communicative. Sent great pics and even made a special treat for my dog (got my permission first). My sweet pup had a great time with her and her family. We will definitely stay with her again!”
About: I'm an experienced dog mama who's been loving these furry friends since I was a kid! Currently mom to two amazing humans and one ultra-sweet, goofy black lab named Finn. I work primarily from home, and have a very pet friendly home. I work mostly remote, so would most likely be with your pup much of the day. Depending on timing, I am available both during the week and weekends. I have an unfenced yard, and also easy access to walking. I do have access to a large dog crate if needed, although pets can have free reign in the house. I have one flight of stairs.
“This was our second time leaving the pups with Tiffanie, she is fantastic! She is great with sending photos and keeping us up to date on their activities and adventures.”
“Joe was absolutely INCREDIBLE with our boy Lucas! He had the best weekend! He even got his nails trimmed for him! He took Luke to the dog park to play multiple times and Lilibet was the BEST pal to Luke all weekend. They played, laid with each other and just had the best time. We can’t recommend Joe and Lilibet enough! Book now!”
“Eman is the best! We always leave our Yorkie Poo with her and never worry for a second. She’s super reliable, caring, and Simmi always has the best time. It’s clear she loves what she does, and it shows in how happy and relaxed our fur baby is every time we pick her up. Highly recommend!!!💕💕”
