“Penny was absolutely amazing. She met us at a medical apt. and took Berkeley for a walk and short visit at her home before meeting us back following g the appointment. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you”
“I have used Svitlana to watch Chloe many times in the past. She is a warm, friendly and caring person who is knowledgeable about dog care. She has always been very communicative when watching Chloe- sending texts and photos. The last time I needed Svitlana, it was on short notice and not only was she able to accommodate my dates, she was able to watch both of my dogs. I trust her implicitly and I highly recommend her.”
“Highly recommend these two, they were so nice and welcoming. My dog looked right at home with them and I had no worries. They send updates and pictures! Would book again!!”
“Bree was great with Winter! She sent all the pictures and was really responsive. I had some travel changes and she was very accommodating for picking Winter up at a different time. Will definitely use Bree again if I need a sitter in Charlottesville!”
“Paula was a lifesaver! We were anxious about leaving our 7mo puppy for our 9 day vacation. Paula was so responsive (tolerating my anxiety), sending photos and videos. Our boy was clearly well cared for and somehow came back a better listener! He was in constant company and I think he had a great time.”
“Hank came home exhausted which means he had a blast. Cynthia did a great job in every Dept from communication to updates throughout the weekend. We were extremely pleased with her work.”
“Our pups enjoyed their stay with Anne! It was easy to communicate with her and she sent lots of photos and updates. She took great care of them and we would use her again in the future. Thanks Anne!”
“As always, Bucky was so well cared for with Jani & Paul. We are so happy to have found this home away from home for him! I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”
“Aly dog sat our Charlie boy for a few night and was awesome! Super responsive; sent updates and daily photos of Charlie. Much better experience for our guy vs. boarding at a kennel/boarder. Will absolutely rebook with Aly in the future!”
“Rebecca was a great host for our 1 year-old pitbull. We were out of the country for 3 weeks and she gave regular updates, which put us at ease. Our dog got plenty of play and made new friends, would definitely do again!”
“Kat is the only rover we use! After bad experiences with others, we can’t imagine using anyone else. I trust her wholeheartedly with Jetty and know my pup had the best time. She looks forward to going to “Zoe’s house!””
“Kayla was absolutely the sitter I was looking to find for my sweet and shy pup. She was very communicative and sent pics throughout his stay to keep me updated on how he was doing. When I picked him up, I could tell that he was comfortable and had been well cared for. I will absolutely be using her again :)”
“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…”
“Julie and her family did a wonderful job looking after my dog Margarita while I was away for a week. They gave her a lot of attention and love and Margarita loved staying with them. I highly recommend Julie to other dog parents!”
“I had to find a dog sitter while I was overseas because the person who was taking care of my dog couldn’t do it anymore. Brooke was very responsive and accommodating, and took good care of Rain. I would recommend her to others.”
“Madison and Ryan were super hosts for Savannah! They were obviously loving and caring and reported in regularly. Savannah loved sitting on their balcony. We will definitely use them again!”
