Doggy Day Care in Amicus

“I was going through Charlottesville and desperately need someone to watch my dog for a few hours while I went to the doctor and took my car to be serviced. Aly was exactly who I was looking for, and more important, exactly who my dog needed.”

About: Owner of a 501c3 animal rescue, I’ve worked with all types of critters. I’ve taken classes in wildlife rehabilitation, worked in dog training centers, and been employed in the county of LA handling overflow cases from Animal Control. I recently left my career behind to purchase a farm and dedicate myself full time to animals. Picking up a bit of work during the transition/ relocation to the farm. I own cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, fish, and a rabbit. I have a well practiced routine with my critters, leaving me open to help others with their babies. I have a few hours during the week I am unavailable due to helping out at a dog training facility (9 hrs/ wk). I am able to administer medications, spend time with more difficult or sensitive pets (plenty of patience for animals), and even implement any training techniques you’ve been working on with your babies. I’m definitely a believer in “no bad animals”. I also have an acre yard completely fenced in.

“Svitlana was wonderful! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day and even a video. She has a nice fenced in backyard and her pup was the perfect playmate for my dog. I can’t wait to book with her again!”

“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!!!”

“what is a very awesome Rover mommy I’m very funny where I leave my puppy and she took care of her better than if she was her own puppy she even trimmed her nails for me. I definitely will be returning to Paula again many times she is more than a five star sitter thank you so much, Paul”

“Riley was great! Worked well with my pet and kept in contact. She was super flexible and sweet.”

Tanner B.

“Bertie was amazing! It was my first time using Rover as a pet owner, and I needed a sitter for the day while on vacation. My puppy is still fairly young and is very attached to me, but she appeared to settle in pretty quickly and have a great time with some other pups. Bertie stayed in touch while I was out, sending pics and updates, and even recommended some great local spots to check out. Super happy with this experience!”

About: Have always been an animal lover, experienced pet owner with extensive knowledge of care, humane society, vet assisting experience and love as if they were my own I’ll provide a warm and comfortable environment. I will be sure to accommodate Theron schedule to the best of my ability, open to special care requests. I do have a crate, baby gate, cat- backpack (for walks) leashes and lots of energy to keep pets entertained for a while or walk around the neighborhood

“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.”

Beth B.

“Alexandra is such a wonderful dog sitter. We send our pup to her each week and know she’s getting amazing care. She even has been helping her with leash training! Cannot recommend enough!”

Sarah D.

“Rebecca did a great job with our dog Greta. She took her in at the last minute while we were on vacation. It was a lifesaver. Also, Greta had a lot of fun with the other puppies that were there and was very happy with the big outdoor yard that they were able to play in. We will definitely use Rebecca‘s services again next time we go to Charlottesville, Virginia.”

Scott M.

“Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again”

My parents also live 10 minutes away with two Mini Bernedoodles if your dog wants friends! My roomates and I fostered 3 puppies, I go to my parents at least one a day to see my dogs and help take care of them, and I did rover at auburn university before I transferred to UVA!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. Walking my neighborhood dogs when their owners were away and having 3 dogs of my own. We currently have an Australian Shepherd who is almost 3. We e had him since he was a puppy. I currently work from home so have time to care for your pup. We have a large fenced in yard and walk our dog down the street daily. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly Australian Shepherd. Our home is pet-safe. We have two cats that have their own space that dogs cannot get to in case they are not fond of each other.

“I definitely recommend Sarah as the pet sitter. She was great and response to the message almost immediately. Both my dogs are so tired but happy. Additionally, she has three children meaning doggies get 3times more attention!! She also has a nice yard for doggies to run around and her dog Stella is so sweet! You don't need to worry about your doggies while you are gone!!!”

Mimi S.

“Many thanks to Hannah for watching our pup! Drop-off and pick-up was easy, Hannah herself was kind and personable; I could tell picking our dog up that she had a blast and was very comfortable at Hannah's home. Our dog got plenty of exercise over there! She curled up on the bed upon getting home :) Overall great experience!”

Sheila F.

“We were impressed with Jessica’s care for our border collie mix Boots for a very long day care day. Boots enjoyed the fenced-in yard and romping with another visiting dog. With a lovely, flexible, positive personality, Jess made us feel assured that Boots was being well taken care of. We would highly recommend her to others and will definitely seek her services again, when we return to town and need temporary dog care.”
