“Hillary is a great sitter. A dog lover, she was so engaged and involved with our 2 Goldens during the week they stayed with her and her family. She sent multiple pictures, videos, and texts every day. The dogs were in great shape when we picked them up and it was clear that that they had been very well cared for. It is so comforting to know that your beloved pets are in good hands and Hillary exudes that type of confidence in her care. We are empty nesters and could tell from the videos and pics that the dogs loved playing with her children. I highly recommend Hillary!”
“Brandy always takes good care of our doggie and sends lots of pictures while we're away. He's always happy when we get to her house so she's doing something right! 😁 She is quick to respond to questions and very flexible with drop off and pick up. Great sitter!”
“Kendyl took wonderful care of my Scottish terrier, Fala! I could tell Fala had a wonderful time and was very well taken care of. Also received daily updates and photos. I highly recommend☺️☺️☺️”
“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.”
“Paula took great care of my anxious dog, Peaches, during a long overnight stay while I was recovering from surgery. She was patient, calm, and attentive, and Peaches absolutely loved her. I felt confident knowing Peaches was safe and well cared for the entire time. I would happily book with Paula again.”
“We had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Bella! The communication in advance of our trip was beneficial and helpful, and she developed rapport quickly with our pup Bubba once we arrived. Bella’s energy, knowledge, and care throughout our conversations helped instill trust quickly. Bubba is looking forward to his next visit!”
“Our Siberian Husky loved staying with Cory! He got lots of walks and play time, and settled right in once we dropped him off. I also appreciated Cory’s regular updates and responsiveness”
“Hope’s home was a perfect solution for us when we visited Charlottesville. A family member has a dog allergy, so we needed to find a solution for our dog. Hope is very responsive, kind, and sends pictures of your dog enjoying their visit.”
“This experience was amazing! My doggies came home sooo happy and got so much outside play time. She was so sweet and responsive. I hope to have the opportunity to use her for our next trip.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, from my first Jack Russell Terrier to a sweet (and feisty) Chihuahua and a lovable Morkie. All of my pets (except for my current Maltese-Yorkie mix, Dolly) have been rescues, so I’m well-versed in understanding the different needs of dogs from all walks of life. Growing up, I also took care of my neighbors’, friends, and family’s cats and dogs, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a variety of animals. I’m passionate about providing personalized care for each pup, whether they’re energetic and playful or need some extra TLC. From feeding and walking to cuddles and training, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you're away. You can count on me to treat your dog just like one of my own, with plenty of attention, affection, and care. Since I work part-time and have weekends off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention and care to your pet. Pet care is a natural part of my day. I prioritize feeding, walking, and playtime, and I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a sweet, friendly dog who can keep yours company—or I can safely crate my dog if your pet prefers solo time. I always follow any special instructions and treat your pet like one of my own. Whether in your home or mine, their safety and comfort come first.
“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!”
“Meagan accepted my booking request to watch my dog very last minute due to a family emergency. She was available and willing to help, and she did a great job with him! She sent me pictures of him while I was gone, and he seemed very happy when we got there to pick him back up! He is totally worn out from all the playing, and he seems to have had a great time. Will definitely be using her again!”
“This was our second time leaving the pups with Tiffanie, she is fantastic! She is great with sending photos and keeping us up to date on their activities and adventures.”
“Emil was very flexible and accommodating over the holidays and kept Chewie happy and active. Sent pics every now and then. Would totally recommend and hope he will be available for Chewie in the future! 😊☺️”
“Margaret was wonderful! She took great care of my senior girl and gave her the love and attention she needed while I was away. She was easy to communicate with and provided pictures. I’d definitely book with Margaret again the next time I’m in the area!”
“Rebekah was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and the very first time we had attempted to leave our skittish dog with a total stranger. Rebekah took very good care of our panicky pooch and sent us update photos throughout her stay. I would highly recommend Rebekah’s services. We were very happy!”
