“Hillary was very communicative, flexible, and friendly. She was very attentive to our feeding/medicine instructions and communicated with me about what would be best. She did so much to help our dog, Marty, settle in. Marty came home happy and exhausted.”
“Penny was absolutely wonderful! She sent lots of updates and pictures of our doggie and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dog for the first time! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Hello! We really enjoyed meeting Jesse and Emily, they are warm and attentive. We really appreciated their wonderful care of our dog Lucy, how they accommodated us for an hour extra day and will definitely call them again! Caroline L.”
“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!”
“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 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!”
“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!”
“Jani and Paul took wonderful care of our pups. They were very attentive to their routines and needs — and sent lots of great pictures every day. We will use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you!!”
“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…”
“Heather & her family were a great match for Mía. From the Meet & Greet, to drop off, asking how to best care for her, and pick up…they were responsive, informative, and caring. Thank you!”
“Charissa did a great job with our two dogs and we knew they were in great hands when we left them. She let us know on a regular basis how they were doing and took extra time and care to get to know them individually and meet their needs. We will definitely ask for her to look after our dogs again!”
“Aly was fantastic! My 11-year-old cockapoo Mittens was comfortable with her from the very beginning. She wagged her tail and made herself right at home. Aly kept up informed with adorable pictures, and we would be happy to board Mittens with her again. I'm sure Mittens would love it too!”
“Reuben took good care of my large one year old Great Pyrenees mix who is extremely rambunctious (to put it mildly). After 10 days with Rueben he learned to walk on leash and play nicely with Rueben’s dog Tyson. (It’s now up to me to maintain the good behaviors he learned). Rueben’s toolkit for dog training includes a prong collar, which I agreed to let him try with some trepidation. Rueben used it sparingly and with restraint, and Ixy seemed to respond well. Rueben was also very flexible with shortening and then extending the dates of stay so I could handle a medical emergency. He is prompt to respond to queries about how your pet is doing. I plan to board my dog there again.”
“Incredibly helpful and understanding with our trip and dog’s needs! We had several changes to our itinerary and Kayla accepted them all with grace and compassion. Our dog was in such good hands while we were out of town. Highly recommended!!!”
“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!”
