“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!”
3. Amaris P.
“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.”

5. Kimberli B.
“I recently had the pleasure of using Kimberly’s dog sitting services for my puppy, and I cannot recommend them enough! From the very beginning, Kimberly demonstrated professionalism, warmth, and an evident love for dogs that instantly made me feel at ease. The updates and photos I received during my absence were the cherry on top, allowing me to see the fun my puppy was having and reassuring me that he was in the best hands. Coming back to a happy, well-exercised, and content puppy was all the proof I needed of the exceptional service provided. For anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter, look no further than Kimberly. They have not only earned my complete trust but also a regular client. Thank you, Kimberly, for treating my puppy like your own and for the peace of mind that comes with knowing he’s enjoying his time even when I’m not around.”

“Chelsea was very attentive to every need of our Border Collie and ensured he got all the physical exercise and mental stimulation he needed each day. I got a ton of updates and pictures throughout the course of his stay. Chelsea was very professional but at the same time I could tell that Ozzie was extremely loved and pampered during his time with her. We’ll certainly be rebooking with Chelsea!”

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.

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.

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.
