Linkin had a wonderful time with Julie and her family! I could not have asked for a better communicator, and “fill in” dog mom while I was away! Linkin was well taken care of and sooo happy! Thank you for your help!

Paula, was a terrific sitter for Sirius. We really appreciated her flexibility with extending Sirius’s stay when our plans changed. Sirius came home happy and tired. Win win!

Kimberli was fantastic! She stayed in contact while my pup was with her and sent regular pictures of him clearly having a good time and getting lots of snuggles. On a personal note, my schedule was a bit hectic and she truly went above and beyond to try accommodate me, which was extremely kind. The next time I need a sitter, she's going to be my first pick!

Amaris was a wonderful sitter for our family dog during a 10-day vacation. She texted updates and photos daily, and was both thoughtful and responsive to our kid’s need to know her favorite furry pooch was doing ok. I can’t say enough good things about Amaris. We’ll absolutely book again with her, if needed in the future.

About: I’ve had dogs for 37 years and watched countless friends’ dogs in the military. I’m reliable and responsible. Your doggie will be loved! Thank you. I’m retired, with a part-time fun job. I am very active and I walk my dogs every day and love to meet new canine friends. I have a small fenced yard, and a large crate in our bedroom. I walk my dogs in the neighborhood daily and our dogs are pretty welcoming!

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!

Emily was so responsive from the first message I sent. I requested dates with very little notice and she was able to accommodate. Drop off was so easy. She immediately made Cali feel welcome. I was so glad to receive updates during her stay. I'm sure Cali would be happy to go back for another stay. I would definitely recommend her!!

Emil is so helpful when I had to leave Rio for a business trip. He nicely accommodates Rio’s need and Rio is very comfortable under his care. I would not be hesitate to ask help from Emil again for my next business trip.

Nathan took care of my sweet dog Pisgah for about a week and it was marvelous! He sent pics of her to me and was communicative. He even took time to work on some training and was able to give her medicine to her as directed. Hoping to hire him again when I need a sitter!

James is the best!! Our dog was so excited to stay with him a second time, and James even got him a little gift while we were gone for the holidays. He’s great with communication, and I always appreciate the photo updates. I highly recommend booking with James if you can!

What are some dog-friendly neighborhoods in Charlottesville?

Wherever you go in Charlottesville, you will be able to find neighborhoods with tons of activities and things to do with dogs. North Downtown is within walking distance of the main downtown core and also has access to lots of parks perfect for walking dogs of all sizes and endurance levels. Another neighborhood that is closer to downtown Charlottesville is the Belmont neighborhood. It is close to restaurants, shops, and outdoor activities like festivals, and is great for city walks with dogs. Fry's Spring is also a great neighborhood in Charlottesville and is home to Azalea Park, a 23-acre sprawling park with on-leash trails and a designated off-leash area too.

Why do dog owners love Charlottesville?

Home to the Downtown Mall, one of the largest walkable malls in America, Charlottesville is close to Washington DC (about a two-hour drive) and boasts lots of charm and character that dog owners love. With four distinct seasons, dogs and owners get to experience a true spring, summer, fall and winter, and the many neighborhood parks and communities make walking and playing with dogs easy and fun. History buffs beeline to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's 1769 mansion, while the Virginia Children's Museum is the spot to take the kids for a little hands-on learning. Meanwhile Michie Tavern, established in 1784, is a hearty eatery with serious history, and there's more history to be had at The Rotunda, designed by Jefferson and located on the original grounds of the University of Virginia.

What are some great dog-walking parks in Charlottesville?

Charlottesville dog sitters and owners have lots of places they can take their dogs to for fun adventures. Popular Azalea Park has over 23 acres of fields, trails, and even an off-leash area, so you're sure to find something for every dog there! Greenbrier Park is another large recreational area with walking and biking trails along Meadow Creek. It's perfect for strolling along with small dogs, or taking a jog with larger, more active dogs. Pen Park is Charlottesville's oldest park, and is seen as the go-to park for both country and city residents. A 1.5 mile trail gives dog sitters a nice, quiet place to take dogs for a walk that is still in city limits and within walking distance of other places.

A walk in one of Charlottesville's picturesque parks, a stroll down a neighborhood street - whatever your dog sitter chooses to do with your dog in Charlottesville, you can rest assured your dog is in good hands with Rover!
