“Hillary was fantastic! Whaley stayed with her for 10 days and we received continuous communication and pictures. He was even hesitant to leave her house when we went to pick him up because he was so happy there.”
“Penny was absolutely amazing. She met us at a medical apt. and took Berkeley for a walk and short visit at her home before meeting us back following g the appointment. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you”
“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!”
“We were so happy to leave our boy, Denver, with Jesse and Emily. Denver is almost 14 and so giving him the love and attention he’d get as the only dog in the home was really important to us, and not having to worry about him getting stressed out by younger dogs who constantly wanted to play for 6 days. We couldn’t have been happier. Denver was right at home, getting walks that he loves as well as plenty of chill time and attention from Jesse and Emily as well as their two girls. Jesse and Emily were great about sending us photo updates that let us know that Denver was comfy and happy. Denver is a finicky eater especially when not at home and they were great about paying attention and giving some treats here and there to get his appetite going. We would definitely leave Denver with them again!”
“Bertie and the family are absolutely AMAZING!! They were able to accommodate my last minute request. I was continuously sent pictures and updates which I really appreciated. They were very gentle and understanding as Fluff is shy and gets anxious. I would 100% recommend Bertie and I would leave Fluff again with them.”
“Katina did an amazing job and will love your pet like it's her own. My dog stayed with her for a week and Katina sent multiple pics and daily updates. She took her to the dog park and on walks, in fact my dog had so much fun playing while there that she came home and slept for like a whole day:) She has two little dogs that make perfect playmates and a gate to separate them if need be. One of the dogs she was watching accidentally chewed a little on my leash and walking belt and Katina went the xtra mile and had new ones ordered before I got home with no charge! I have found the perfect sitter and will definitely use her again.”
“First time leaving any of my dogs with a petsitter that I hadn't known beforehand! Jessica was wonderful and accommodating for my nervousness and my pups timid nature. I regularly got photos and videos of Razz having an absolute BLAST with Jessica and her dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again, and I know my pup had a wonderful experience.”
“Svitlana was great with our Border Terrier, Kimi. She sent updates and photos daily. She walked Kimi in the neighborhood and played ball with her in the yard. Kimi came home happy, so we will hire Svitlana again!”
“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old puppy since I got him. He is a pretty anxious dog, which made me an anxious mother. Clayton and Brittany were great; they were unfazed by his quirks, and allowed him space to adjust. Apparently he adjusted just fine; climbing into laps. They have a large fenced yard and two lively dogs; such a fun, busy weekend for my pup! I highly recommend them…”
“First time using their services. Very personable and received updates everyday, even pictures. Great facility and assisted working on new commands our dogs were working on. Even worked on swimming in the pool. They were treated like family. Dogs loved it ,and they came home happy, loved, healthy and tired.”
“Aly was great and Rory had an amazing time! She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on her the whole time. She was also super flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to pick her up late. All around wonderful experience!”
“Reuben took excellent care of my dog, Maverick. He genuinely cared about the well-being of animals and wants to make sure your pet is comfortable. I had no worries about Maverick or his care while I was out of town. Thank you!”
“Kayla was absolutely the sitter I was looking to find for my sweet and shy pup. She was very communicative and sent pics throughout his stay to keep me updated on how he was doing. When I picked him up, I could tell that he was comfortable and had been well cared for. I will absolutely be using her again :)”
“Oliver has a GREAT with Jeff! He got along well with Jeff's adorable furreinds. Jeff sent timely updates with pictures which put me at ease while out of town. Thank you and hope our paths cross again!”
