“Amanda was great with our puppy, Pampa. We got lots of updates on how she was doing and was very easy to communicate with. Her dog Theo was great with Pampa too, you could tell they had a lot of fun together over her stay. Would definitely recommend Amanda for anyone looking for a dog sitter! We’ll be sure to use her in the future as well.”
“Hillary and her family helped to take care of our pup for a last minute trip to the area. She sent updates and Gwynne enjoyed her time staying here 😊”
“I had told Liliana that Dolly looks like a sad sac when we have left her. Well , the pictures we received the first day had her looking like the happiest dog in the world. The second day had us wondering whether she would want to come home again. While my husband was picking Dolly up this morning my sister called to see whether she had come home and just then she came running through the door,❤️ please please put your mind at ease , there is a home away from home for your dog❤️”
“Thank you for providing such kindness and attentiveness to my Ellie girl! I can tell she felt very comfortable being with your family, and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in such good hands. Would definitely board with you again the future!”
“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…”
“Beth did a great job taking care of Remy while I was on vacation. She devotes her time (it seems) exclusively to the dog she's sitting for. I felt confident leaving Remy with her while gone.”
“Penny was incredible! She treated our dog like one of the family. Penny was also very communicative, letting us know how our pup was doing throughout the weekend. Could not recommend more highly!”
“I felt like I could trust her to watch my dog, while we went out of town and I didn't have to worry about how he was going to be. She sent picture updates throughout the weekend, She's a quick communicator, and was patient when we had some delays for picking him up!”
“I can’t recommend Jani and Paul enough! They were prompt with communication and flexible in scheduling drop off/pickup times. Birdie seemed to have a blast there and will definitely rebook their services the next time I need it.”
“You cannot ask for a better puppy sitter than Kendyl! She was very communicative and accomidating. I would use her to watch Nash without a second thought.”
“Brandy is amazing! Valley always enjoys herself when she’s over there. Brandy updates constantly and sends photos to you with the updates. She was also very helpful with letting me pick my dog up later than I expected to be in town!”
“Our pup was well taken care of, and we were updated throughout her stay! ? Joanna was accommodating and flexible when we had to pick our dog up later than expected.”
“We really appreciated the care Svitlana took with our dog Lucy. She is a very nice person and very attentive to the dogs. WE would definitely like to have her take care of Lucy again. Caroline L.”
“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!”
“Hannah is amazing! She's a real dog whisperer. Our pup HATES cats so we were nervous to live him with her because Hannah cares for a number of cats as well. Low and behold, this dog SLEPT in the same bed as a couple of cats and he was completely unfazed. Unreal. Thanks Hannah. Looking forward to booking again soon :)”
“Jesse was very friendly and asked great questions to make sure our dog would be well taken care of. He sent us pictures of our pup enjoying his stay which we really appreciated.”
“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!”
“Second time Charlie stayed with Aly and he loved it! We received photos and updates several times a day. She took great care of him. Aly’s our go-to pet sitter!”
“Danielle and her crew were great! She was very responsive to my messages and was able to watch my doggo on very short notice. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. If you're ever in Harrisonburg, choose her!”
“Reuben was so great with Buddy! Sent pics and updates throughout the two weeks. My dog seemed to have a great time with Reuben and especially with his own dog! I would definitely recommend Reuben!”
