“Hillary was very communicative, flexible, and friendly. She was very attentive to our feeding/medicine instructions and communicated with me about what would be best. She did so much to help our dog, Marty, settle in. Marty came home happy and exhausted.”
“Penny and her family, her dogs were AMAZING and so SWEET!! My pup looked so happy when I was picking him up from her place, and he zonked out when we got back home which means he had an amazing time with her!”
“Thank you so much, Svitlana, for taking such great care of my dog! You were incredibly helpful and excellent at communicating, both during the initial meet and greet and throughout the stay. I especially appreciated the photos and videos you shared – it really put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for all your help!”
“Cynthia took great care of my two dogs. She is caring and communicative- I loved seeing the photos she sent. We already have booked with her for two more times. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Jesse & Emily treated my Angel like she’s a family. Angel was greatly taken care of, even made friends with Hazel and Nola (kids). We received daily updates and pictures. We’re forever grateful for this family.”
“Jani and Paul took wonderful care of our pups. They were very attentive to their routines and needs — and sent lots of great pictures every day. We will use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you!!”
“Bertie, Liss and family are absolutely wonderful! It was the first time leaving my puppy overnight and they were kind, responsive and helpful. They took great care of my pup, treated her like their own, and sent lots of updates. I can’t recommend them enough and will absolutely book with them 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…”
“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.”
“Aly was fantastic! My 11-year-old cockapoo Mittens was comfortable with her from the very beginning. She wagged her tail and made herself right at home. Aly kept up informed with adorable pictures, and we would be happy to board Mittens with her again. I'm sure Mittens would love it too!”
“We were nervous leaving our 6-month-old puppy for the first time, but Cory made it a wonderful experience for us and our pup. Cory was easy to communicate with; he provided lots of photos and updates when we were gone and Riley seemed very happy and content when we went to pick her up. We would definitely like to have Cory watch Riley again.”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“Pizza was sad to leave Katina, her amazing backyard, and her pups! We have greatly appreciated Katina watching over Pizza while we have lived in Charlottesville and highly recommend her for boarding.”
“Hannah did an absolute stellar job. Of course she is almost overly qualified, and I had no reservations of leaving my cat in her care. She was very responsive and flexible, which made it so much easier! Can’t recommend enough.”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of our dog. She was very responsive to all our messages and sent regular updates and photos each day. She was also incredibly flexible with our pickup time after a delayed return flight. We definitely would book with Brooke again!”
