About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for animals. As a former pet owner, I understand the stress that comes with finding someone compatible and dedicated enough to watch over your loved ones while you are away. My clients have been able to rely on me to take great care of their loved ones while they are away. I have experience, with walking, feeding, cleaning, and medicating pets. I have also worked with rescues and difficult to deal with dogs and cats. Please do not worry about the size of your dog, I am very comfortable caring for large dogs as well as small. I have recently graduated from Roanoke college, so I will have plenty of time to play with, care for, and love on your pets while you are away. Seeing your pets happy makes me happy! I am very detail oriented so there is no need to worry about whether your pet has received their medication or if they will escape the house or yard. I always triple check to ensure their needs have been met, from feeding to walking to medication – with the addition of playtime and treats.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with both energetic dogs and senior pets. I currently care for a 12 year old German Shorthaired Pointer, so I have firsthand experience managing high energy levels, from his puppy years through his senior stage, while also being attentive to the extra care older dogs need. I can balance exercise, routine, and care. In addition, I have two 14 year old cats and experience feeding cats and maintaining clean litter boxes. I also enjoy running and I have experience running with my GSP. I’m currently working at a tax accounting firm in Charlottesville through the end of tax season on April 15, 2026, so my Rover availability is limited until then. Starting April 16, 2026, I’ll be a lot more flexible since my seasonal position ends! I’ll have completely open weekday availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and checking in on houses or cats. On some weekends I stay in town and can do dog walking or house sitting, but it varies. You’re always welcome to reach out about weekend care but I just can’t promise I’ll be around every time. Have questions or want to check availability? Send me a message and I'd love to chat and see how I can help! A couple of heads-ups: I’ll be at the beach from May 25–29, 2026, and unavailable for Rover services during that time. I also plan to go inactive on Rover after June 10, 2026. I primarily offer care in my clients’ homes and aim to take walks in the Crozet area so I can easily walk or drive to clients’ homes for dog walks, pick-ups, or check-in visits.

“Erica was an extraordinary sitter who made me feel as if I had left my animals in good hands. My fur babies were well cared for. I will definitely use her again.”

Andrea R.

“Caroline is great! She’s very organized before hand, stopped by twice (once to meet the cats, once to get the key). She was very reliable, spent quality time with the cats, kept them fed and even cleaned up their water fountain and where they made a mess with their litter. She sent detailed updates and lots of pictures. I HIGHLY recommend her and will certainly use her again next time! The cats told me they really liked her too!”

Lucian M.

“PJ was wonderful! She kept me updated with photos throughout the week and had great communication. She has a genuine care for animals and was a natural with my cats. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”

“Vanessa was so great with my cat Lulu! Sent lots of pics and videos and came home from our trip to a very happy kitty! Will definitely use her in the future”

“Christie did a wonderful job taking care of our elderly cat. We were away for 2 weeks and George was in great shape when we returned.”

Linda Z.

“Leslie is great. She checked in on my dog while we were gone all day and our regular person was unavailable. She came out beforehand to meet us and I knew she would be great. She obviously has a lot of experience and is prompt and professional. She sent photos and reassurances that all was well. I would definitely use her again.”

Bonnie H.

“I had such great peace of mind having Mary come to take care of my cats. She sent me photos at each visit and gave great descriptions of what the cats were up to 😊”

About: I’ve always been a dog person! I’ve raised multiple puppies and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I would be happy to hang with any and all dogs! I work 9-5 on the weekdays but I would be happy to pet sit, do drop in visits, and walks both before and after! I will make sure to spend all of my free time with your pup! I am open on the weekends as well. :) I have a small mixed breed 1 year old puppy named Biggie! He loves to play and go on walks near our house and play fetch in the dog park beside our house as well! I make sure to give my dogs down time in the day by having some designated crate time. I am very attentive to my dog and other dogs need throughout the day!

“I was very pleased with Jocelyn's Drop-In visits while we were away. She was great at keeping me informed of her daily visits by both texts and photos while caring for our cat, Dexter. She was very professional and performed all items that were listed. I felt comfortable and relaxed having her supervision while on vacation.”

Debra C.

“Cory was a lifesaver with our pup. We were in a real scramble as we had to leave town unexpectedly for a family emergency. We had different friends helping out each day until we found Cory. He was really easy to communicate with, took great care of our pup, rolled with her medical needs, and was very understanding when we needed to make changes—all over a holiday weekend. It was a huge relief knowing he was taking care of things at home while we navigated our family issue. We will definitely reach out to him first for any future needs.”

Nachel M.

“Amy was quick to respond and was available when I made my request at the last minute. This is the second time Amy has watched my cats and I will happily ask her to cat sit again.”

Sean G.

“Karlee was awesome! She left the most detailed notes and photos that I've ever seen from a sitter, and she was incredibly personable and warm. Definitely glad we found her to care for our kitties and wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

Catherine O.

“Alexis did such a great job with my puppy! She cleaned up her messes, brought her outside for playtime and made sure she had water! Alexis was super kind and sent me updates!”

Madison L.

“Danielle is one of the most amazing sitters that we’ve ever had! She is reliable and prompt, always arriving at the selected booking times. We most recently worked with her for extended time away for our wedding, and our minds were at ease the entire time. Our cats love her and she’s so thoughtful with how she cares for them.”
