Doggy Day Care in Heards

“Jani & Paul were able to graciously accommodate my puppy for daycare on very short notice. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and will most definitely be booking again. The best!!!”

“Paula provided just what we needed for our Chihuahua—a safe place to stay while we were in town for lunch. Our venue was not dog friendly, but knowing that our pup was being well cared for put our minds at ease.”

Rosemary B.

“Hillary did a fantastic job watching our dog for the day. She is great at communicating and flexible. With our drop off and pickup times. We would definitely use her again. We really appreciate her letting us know details about his day.”

Beth B.

“Amy was a great pet sitter, she was attentive and really listened to my thoughts and where we are with our puppy. Sue had toys available for him and my pup enjoyed playing with her lab. Looking forward to our next daycare day.”

“Rebecca kept Max two separate days recently for doggy daycare. He’s an incredibly anxious dog so we were a bit nervous to drop him off someplace he’s never been with someone he doesn’t know. I was blown away with the care he received from Rebecca! He was literally smiling in the pictures she sent me! Her dogs are very sweet and playful, so Max had some built in friends as a bonus! He slept the entire way home and the rest of the afternoon/evening. We will most definitely utilize Rebecca in the future! Thank you again!”

“Lady is a funny little Cavalier who doesn't have much interest in playing with balls or toys, or even other dogs, although she is friendly to them. She mainly just likes human companionship and sitting in people's laps! This was Lady's second visit to Svitlana for Day Care, and we are very thankful for the safe and cozy, quiet environment Svitlana provides in her home and securely fenced yard.”

“This has been the first time Izzy has come home tired!! How wonderful! She got to play all day long with Carolyn’s sweet dogs and another dog that was over. She had a blast!! Carolyn is knowledgeable and I trust her if anything were to happen. She cares about dogs and sends videos and pictures (pretty fantastic photographer ;). I’m hoping she will watch Izzy again!! Thank you so much Carolyn!”

Autumn A.

“Our labs - including our 7-mo old puppy - had a fabulous time at Bree’s! Bree was super communicative and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely book with her again!”

Ellen J.

“Mary and her family are awesome! Sage has some health issues and Mary was extremely attentive with him and took wonderful care of him. We are blessed to have found her and Sage will definitely return for daycare.”

Nicole W.

“She’s one of the best sitters that I’ve ever had. She has everything therefore your dog she’s a great sitter.”

Raydoublej H.

“Hannah was great! Very responsive and gave an update during the day.”

Laura H.

“We were visiting the area and needed a sitter in a pinch. Cory responded within minutes and was ready to take Juno in that same day. His house sits in a wonderful wooded area and is perfect for dog walking. He took Juno in, introduced her to his dog and cats, sent pictures, took her for a walk. It was clear he has experience and he and his family genuinely love to take care of dogs! Juno was happy and calm when we picked her up. We were very lucky that we found Cory and definitely highly recommend him!”

Katja C.

“Brooke is a fabulous person. Three couples descended on her with three dogs and she never batted an eye. There were updates and pictures during their stay. You are the best Brooke. Thank you.”

J. S.

“Rachel is great!! She was thorough with communications. I was on a tight schedule and we decided to meet up for the drop off and pick up. She was on time and ready to go! Ziggy is still very much a puppy and has a ton of energy. He spent the day with Rachel and I could tell he had so much fun because he was happy and healthy, but completely worn out. Thanks so much to Rachel for taking great care of my pup. Highly recommend!!!”

Joel D.

“Margaret was the perfect sitter for our little dog, Hattie. From the moment that we arrived to drop off Hattie, Margaret met us with a warm smile and put us right at ease that Hattie will be well taken care of. Margaret updated us with pictures over the afternoon, and when we came to pick up, Hattie was was in a great, happy mood. We have no complaints with the experience, and would gladly leave Hattie with Margaret again.”

Matthew G.

“Ava took amazing care of our dog! Communication was consistent and we got updates throughout the day!”

Bell D.

“Really appreciate the feedback and opportunity to have daycare with Andrew I'm becoming a better dog owner with his experience and my puppy is learning and enjoys his time with Andrew and his dogs.”

About: I’ve owned and have taking care of pets for years. Would love to help folks out now that I’m retired. Reliable, dependable and own property and near trails. Retired and happiest around animals. Love walking, hiking and being outside. My home is clean and pet friendly. I have trails nearby and live on 2 acres I have 2 acres and trails. Or happy to give care in your home walking, visiting or staying over. I’m healthy and active and ready!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats in my home, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I started my pet care journey at 15, going all over my hometown to look after people’s pets, and I’ve loved it ever since. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and even horses. I have alap spent time volunteering at different shelters both in my home state and Virginia. Each animal brings a unique experience, and I always enjoy the chance to connect with them and give them all the attention and love they need . I have a pretty flexible schedule, I am available most afternoons and evenings throughout the week. I am available after 6:30 AM and before 5 PM. I have a large fenced in yard where your pet can play lots of games and get exercise. If your pet prefers to be crated that’s not problem, but if they prefer to be out, that’s okay too!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m originally from Charlottesville, Virginia, and currently a full-time undergraduate student at Virginia Tech living in Blacksburg. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a calm senior dog, I pride myself on providing attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m here to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working full time during the summer here in Charlottesville. However I’m free for walks before 9am and my work day is over at 5:30. I prioritize safety by keeping a clean, pet-friendly environment and following each pet’s routine closely. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure secure spaces, constant supervision, and lots of love and attention to build trust and keep your pet comfortable.
