2. Paula C.
“Paula was a lifesaver! We were anxious about leaving our 7mo puppy for our 9 day vacation. Paula was so responsive (tolerating my anxiety), sending photos and videos. Our boy was clearly well cared for and somehow came back a better listener! He was in constant company and I think he had a great time.”
3. Penny H.
“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!”
4. Svitlana F.
“Svitlana really knows dogs. She walked my dog and sent pics and got to know her quirks quickly. Svitlana also continued with the same house rules we use at home. I will definitely have Pi stay with her again!”
5. Hillary D.
“Hillary provided updates including photos and videos of my pup Daisy at a cadence that kept me worry free but was not excessive. Daisy came home happy and looked well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
6. Hallie B.
“Hallie was incredibly caring and kind to my dog. She took him outside to play, and their cute backyard was perfect for him. She kept me updated the entire time. If I return to VA, I will definitely leave my dog with them again.”
7. Katina M.
“Katina took amazing care of our dog Molly while we were away for a week. We received daily updates and photos. Molly had a wonderful time going on walks and to the dog park as well as playing with Katina’s cute little dog. Katina is very honest, accommodating and easy to communicate with. She was very sweet with Molly and you can tell she is a true animal lover. We will definitely have Molly stay again in the future!”
8. Julie N.
“Julie and her family took wonderful care of, spoiled really, our dog Waffles. We are so thankful to have found Julie. We give Julie our highest recommendation for caring for other dogs.”
9. Jessica L.
“Jessica was amazing! We got lots of updates (with photos) throughout our dog’s stay and Jessica was a great communicator. We really appreciated Jessica doing a meet-and-greet before the stay, and would feel great about leaving our dog with Jessica again!”
10. Jani & Paul R.
“Jani and Paul took amazing care of Kona! We hate to leave her, however I could tell she was being totally spoiled with love from the daily photos and updates. Kona is quite active, so they took her on daily walks and played ball with her in their yard. Kona enjoyed watching the squirrels in their backyard and was made to feel totally at home. I would not hesitate to recommend Jani and we already have another visit booked for Kona.”
11. Aly B.
“Aly dog sat our Charlie boy for a few night and was awesome! Super responsive; sent updates and daily photos of Charlie. Much better experience for our guy vs. boarding at a kennel/boarder. Will absolutely rebook with Aly in the future!”
12. Brooke L.
“I had to find a dog sitter while I was overseas because the person who was taking care of my dog couldn’t do it anymore. Brooke was very responsive and accommodating, and took good care of Rain. I would recommend her to others.”
13. Mary R.
“Mary watched my dog Rizzo for a week and she was absolutely wonderful. Rizzo was right at home with her family and I could immediately tell from her updates that he was happy and comfortable. Her children were also wonderful with Rizzo. I highly recommend Mary for anyone looking for dog sitting! Your pet will be loved and cared for just like Rizzo.”
14. Debbie C.
“I had a great experience with Debbie and Pete. This was my first time using Dog Vacay. Debbie and Pete have a great place. Their house and yard are both clean and perfectly set-up to care for their five small show dogs. They have a large fenced in yard (between half an acre and an acre). This allows the dogs to run around and play. The yard has a small kids pool for the dogs to get wet and have a good time. The dogs are also allowed inside. Debbie and Pete sent me a text with my dog sleeping on their couch. They also went out of their way to drop my dog in Charlottesville on their way to work to save me time on my return trip. Very sweet couple and I would highly recommend using them if you are going to be in the Charlottesville area.”
15. Heather N.
“Heather is super responsive and takes your pet’s needs seriously. My pup is sweet but has some anxiety issues—Heather thoughtfully supported all of his needs while providing lots of pictures and updates to ease my mind while he was under her care. Highly recommended… will definitely be booking again!”
16. Rebecca Z.
“Becca is wonderful with pets - she is caring and responsible. She watched my dog for two weeks while I was on my honeymoon while he was a puppy and was great with his schedule and getting him out for lots of walks! Would highly recommend Becca for any future jobs/walks.”
17. Roy T.
“Roy is EXCELLENT!!! He is kind and treated my dogs like his own. I have a small terrier mix who gets nervous easily. Roy had my Kaiden excited to see him, no problem! If he could get Kaiden to like him, Roy is certainly a dog whisperer!! Lol! Definitely recommend him and will be utilizing his services in the future,”
18. Cory P.
“Cory was very kind, communicative, and kept great care of our dog. If we are ever back in the area I will absolutely reach back out to him again! Highly recommend.”
19. James B.
“James was easy to work with, flexible, and quick to respond. We have used Rover in several cities and are so grateful to find a reliable sitter like James in this area. Joe is already looking forward to his next vacation!”
20. Caroline D.
“Moxie had a great time staying over with Caroline. I loved getting photos and updates. Caroline is very experienced with dogs who have special needs and she is warm and friendly. So glad we found her!”
