House Sitting in Charlottesville

Great job! Our dog and cat loved her. Lots of walks and play time, plenty of pictures sent to us.

Nathan was so flexible letting us add an additional night. Frequent videos and updates of our dogs. Our very energetic lab was left very tired after a fun weekend with Nathan!

Kailyn was simply incredible. Right before our trip out of the country, our dog, Ginger, got sick. Kailyn stepped in and took care of Ginger like she was her own. She nursed her back to health and sent daily pictures. She also took the time to make sure our three cats were happy, too! We highly recommend Kailyn to other pet parents and hope to use services again in the future, she was amazing.

I can't recommend Tracy enough! We haven't left our 11 year old dog with a sitter for at least 5 years, and were nervous he would be stressed out and have no fun while we were gone. Tracy was absolutely fabulous with him and gave him the VIP treatment that he doesn't normally get when he's home with his family! She took him on so many walks, gave him lots of treats, and truly got to know him and love him. Our home was spotless when we returned, as well, which was such a gift. I think he misses Tracy already and we will have to keep them connected!

ROSEY ROCKS! She took great care of our dog, Maggie while we were gone over a long weekend for a big wedding in the family. We got updates daily which was a real comfort as this was Maggie's longest bout without her family. Came home to find Maggie calm ( for Maggie) and happy to see us. Rosey follows all instructions very carefully and left our house in excellent order. Thank you, Rosey!

Danielle is amazing with our girl. We get lots of updates and pictures which always confirm just how much Croix loves Danielle and how well she is taken care of when we are away.

Anne was great. She provided lots of updates and left my house tidy.

Mackenzie is wonderful! She took such great care of our dog and cats. Everyone was very relaxed when we got home, like they didn’t even care we were gone! Our house was super tidy, too. Mackenzie was very professional and kind to work with. We are so appreciative!

Abby was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel so reassured and confident that our pets were receiving the BEST care! She took time to come meet our girls before the booking, got to know their personalities and let them get familiar with her. She is an absolute gem! We will definitely be calling her again!!

After our first Rover sitter said they couldn’t do it. We were panicked to find a replacement. I am so glad I ran across Dakota and Rover. Took excellent care of both dogs and also the house. Any future trips will definitely get Dakota to watch our two dogs for us. Highly highly recommend.

James (Collin) has truly become part of our family. This is our second wonderful experience with him, and once again, he exceeded all of our expectations. Both times, we hired Collin to house-sit and care for our furry family members for a week. We have three dogs—a German Shepherd, a Boston Terrier, and a Terrier mix—as well as a flock of five ducks. Our dogs can be a bit challenging. In fact, two of them have been banned from our usual boarding facility: our German Shepherd is an escape artist who continually finds ways out of her run, and our Boston Terrier struggles with anxiety that can sometimes lead to aggression. Despite these challenges, Collin has built incredible relationships with all of our animals. They absolutely adore him, and it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing they are in such capable and caring hands. We never thought we would find a house and pet sitter as dependable, trustworthy, and compassionate as Collin. He takes tremendous pride in his work and consistently goes above and beyond. Not only does he provide exceptional care for our pets, but he also keeps our home tidy while we're away. On our return, we found that he had even washed the bed linens he used and remade the bed—an unexpected and thoughtful touch that speaks volumes about his character. If you're looking for someone to care for your pets and home, do not hesitate to hire Collin. He is reliable, professional, kind, and genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. We recommend him without hesitation and are incredibly grateful to have found him.

Tessa made the process of dog & house sitting seamless from beginning to end. From the pre-stay visit to our arrival back home, we were given regular updates & being informed about our pet. She was very responsive at all times, punctual for all scheduled visits and friendly throughout. We look forward to having her stay with our Goldendoole in the future.

Christian is absolutely incredible!! She has been our saving grace for 3 years now! She just recently stayed in our home with 3 of our pups (mine and my sisters two dogs) for multiple days/nights over Christmas break and I could not have been more comfortable knowing our fur babies were in the BEST hands. She sends frequent updates and sends pictures so we know they’re doing well! They are honestly smiling in all of the pictures which is amazing. She truly is the best! I cannot think of a person I would trust more with my pup ❤️

Our older dog had recently begun to lose his sight, and we were hesitant to leave him with a sitter. (He requires two different types of eye drops, administered 3 times a day). As soon as we met Rachael our concerns disappeared. She immediately connected with both of our dogs and it was evident just how experienced and caring she would be. During the course of her 6-day stay we were constantly sent updates and pictures, and it was the most relaxed we’ve ever been while away. We returned to a beautifully cleaned house (she’d also picked up all poop in the yard) and two happy dogs. We’ve already booked Rachael for our next trip.

Jack is a great dog and house sitter. He’s trustworthy and reliable. We feel so comfortable leaving our dogs and home in his care. He goes above and beyond every time. He even went out of his way to make sure some plants in the yard got watering during the recent heatwave. And fixed an issue with our garden sprinkler. The dogs always are relaxed when we get home. Can’t recommend him enough for any dog or home care needs!

Star and Jack were amazing caretakers of our dog pack of 3 while we were away for an extended vacation. We were nervous because our senior girl needs some patient care and regular meds. We didn’t need to worry. We came home to some happy relaxed pups and a clean house. Will use Star again when needed and highly recommend her for any dog care or house sitting needs!
