Doggy Day Care in Charlottesville

“Paula took excellent care of our dog Loki. We were visiting from out of town and need a place for Loki while we visited older relatives. Paula was good with communication and Loki came back all happy. Definitely recommend!”

“Rebecca was amazing! She met with me before watching my dogs and she was very loving and attentive to both of them. She kept me informed about how they did while I was gone and kept the report card up-to-date. She left my house very clean and she was very respectful. I would definitely use her again!”

About: I am a new grad physician assistant currently awaiting credentialing for my new job in pediatrics and spending my time off walking dogs! I am a huge dog lover and a very active person. I used to dog and cat sit as a side hustle prior to PA school and now that I have some free time I would love to walk dogs in the community until I start a new medical career in June. I always had dogs growing up and have background caring for many pets in cville as well as a medical background. I currently have a very flexible schedule and I am around to walk dogs most days. Im not yet back to working in medicine so I am home most days Happy to walk dogs any distance/amount of time/ route. Also happy to jog with dogs if clients prefer and if the dog is used to jogging (I am a runner). Also willing to take dogs to client preferred parks or trails.

“Julia is amazing and was awesome with our active puppy, Stella! We received pictures during the day and she was flexible with our pickup time. Stella came home from a day of play with Julia's dog to crash for a few hours 8-) I'm looking forward to having Stella spend a day in her home on a regular basis.”

“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”

“Svitlana did great with Otto's nervous mom (me). She sent plenty of photos, updates, and reassurance. Otto felt comfortable at the house during his doggie daycare stay. He was relaxed enough to eat, sleep, and play. I rarely have anyone watch Otto, but we'll return if Svitlana is available when needed in the future.”

“Jessica and James have both been great daycare hosts! They’re efficient communicators and home most of the day so my dog gets a lot of time outside the crate. They’re great at being flexible as well and we definitely recommend and will continue to use regularly. This was my first rover experience and it was great!”

Kate Q.

“Kirtly was very responsive, and gave a ton of feedbacks on the daycare session with our two dogs, one of which a 2 month old puppy. Will definitely book with Kirtly again.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I currently have a 3-year-old Rottweiler back at home, which has given me experience with strong, energetic breeds. Whether your dog needs playtime, patience, or gentle care, I provide reliable and loving attention tailored to their needs! I am currently a full time student at University of Virginia was a former Student-Athlete, being a senior my schedule is very flexible! I have an open schedule every week! My apartment complex has a fenced in dog park as well as plenty of outdoor space to get exercise! My personal apartment has a large living room with plenty of space and my room has enough space as well!

About: Nate and I have had the pleasure of hosting all kinds of dogs in our home, for daytime stays and overnight stays. Our 3 year old greyhound girl loves every dog she meets, especially if they like to run and play with her in our large fenced in yard! My partner and I both work from home full-time. We walk our own dog twice per day and she goes in and out of the back yard all day. We would love to welcome another dog to hang and play with us! My partner and I live in a two-story house with a large fenced in yard (fence is about 5 ft. tall). Our furniture is dog-friendly, with a couch and 2 beds for you dog to choose from. We have a 3-year-old Spanish Greyhound named Skelly who ADORES other dogs, and would like play and run with your dog in the yard (and likely tire them out!). Skelly has all her vaccinations and has never been aggressive towards another dog or human. Skelly does like to play hard, so if your dog is elderly or injured, we may not be the best fit. We have no children or other pets in the house.

“Ashley cared for our Sophie very well! She was flexible with her schedule and really seemed to love dogs. We would gladly leave Sophie with her again.”

About: I am a social person. I’ll work hard and take good care of your dog. I have a dog back home. I love dogs a lot. I’m free all day Friday-Sunday. I’m a former football player so I know that I’ll be dedicated to giving your dog the best care. I truly love dogs. We have a playground for the dog here at my apartment. They have treats everywhere for pets and I believe this is a great space for a dog to be.

“Allison was such an amazing and flexible puppy sitter! She was available last minute and even offered to drop her off at my apartment at the end of the day! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog there - she sent lots of photos of her playing and snuggling on the couch and came back totally exhausted. We would highly recommend Allison and will be using her again in the future!”

“Isaiah was an a amazing sitter! We needed him last minute as we found out late about meeting a friend that was from Germany. He was very transparent when it came to how my Cali was that day and what his plans were to keep them busy. He asks all the questions and was VERY, VERY patient with us.”

About: Having had dogs and cats my entire life, I am well prepared to take care of your furry friend. Having had a dog with severe allergies, I am also prepared to take care of any pets with chronic health conditions that require more attention As a medical student in a hybrid learning environment, I have a flexible schedule that provides me the time to tend to your pets as needed. Caring for my own dog, your pet can fit seamlessly into our schedule for walks, bathroom breaks, and play time. I take all pets on several walks a day, providing them ample time to exercise and play outside. In caring for my clients home, I will make sure their pet abides by all house rules and maintain a clean living space for their home.

“Chelsea is the best! She’s taken care of both of our dogs now. I appreciate how she always provides plenty of pictures and updates, and my boys are always so happy when they get to stay with Chelsea.”

About: I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on creating a stress-free, loving environment. Additionally, I’m detail-oriented when it comes to following owner instructions and schedules, ensuring your pet gets the care they need exactly as you prefer. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, both as a dog owner and a caregiver. I structure my schedule to ensure dogs in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I have flexibility during weekdays and weekends, allowing me to accommodate a variety of needs, from daily drop-ins and walks to extended stays. My weekly routine already includes caring for my one-year-old pug, so I’m experienced in managing feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and rest periods. For longer stays or visits, I ensure pets are given plenty of one-on-one attention and maintain their usual routines to keep them happy and stress-free.

In my home, I maintain a clean, secure environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at ease. I supervise them closely during activities to prevent accidents and ensure they are always safe. If your pet stays with me, I’ll maintain their routine as much as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize building trust with your furry friend and keeping them calm and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow your instructions precisely and provide updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a loving, stress-free experience for your pet, whether they’re staying with me or being cared for in your home!
