“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!!!”

“This was Jasper’s second visit and it sounds like he had a blast playing with Cypress again! Rebecca is very accommodating, friendly, and easy-going. Thank you, Rebecca:))”

“Svitlana did great with Otto's nervous mom (me). She sent plenty of photos, updates, and reassurance. Otto felt comfortable at the house during his doggie daycare stay. He was relaxed enough to eat, sleep, and play. I rarely have anyone watch Otto, but we'll return if Svitlana is available when needed in the future.”


“Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again”

“what is a very awesome Rover mommy I’m very funny where I leave my puppy and she took care of her better than if she was her own puppy she even trimmed her nails for me. I definitely will be returning to Paula again many times she is more than a five star sitter thank you so much, Paul”

“Bertie was amazing! It was my first time using Rover as a pet owner, and I needed a sitter for the day while on vacation. My puppy is still fairly young and is very attached to me, but she appeared to settle in pretty quickly and have a great time with some other pups. Bertie stayed in touch while I was out, sending pics and updates, and even recommended some great local spots to check out. Super happy with this experience!”

“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.”

About: I am a social person. I’ll work hard and take good care of your dog. I have a dog back home. I love dogs a lot. I’m free all day Friday-Sunday. I’m a former football player so I know that I’ll be dedicated to giving your dog the best care. I truly love dogs. We have a playground for the dog here at my apartment. They have treats everywhere for pets and I believe this is a great space for a dog to be.
“Alexandra is such a wonderful dog sitter. We send our pup to her each week and know she’s getting amazing care. She even has been helping her with leash training! Cannot recommend enough!”

“We’re grateful to have found Carolyn! She takes great care of Bear. He’s found a second home w the Belmont pack :) we love seeing the pictures she takes throughout the day.”
“We were impressed with Jessica’s care for our border collie mix Boots for a very long day care day. Boots enjoyed the fenced-in yard and romping with another visiting dog. With a lovely, flexible, positive personality, Jess made us feel assured that Boots was being well taken care of. We would highly recommend her to others and will definitely seek her services again, when we return to town and need temporary dog care.”


“Rachel went out of her way to provide Hazel with exceptional care. I received many cute updates throughout the day and at the end of the day picked up a happy and tired girl!”

About: I am a mom of three who enjoys being outdoors. I love spending my time outdoors with my dog. I find satisfaction burning dogs energy and then going home to relax. I am a stay at home mom. My kids are all in school and have the time to devout myself to my pets. I am free most days. I stay active. I go for long walks with my dog. I enjoy finding new places to discover with my pet and would love to with yours.
“Kirtly was very responsive, and gave a ton of feedbacks on the daycare session with our two dogs, one of which a 2 month old puppy. Will definitely book with Kirtly again.”

“Awesome dog sitter! I was in Charlottesville for an interview, and needed a sitter pretty last minute. Caroline was super responsive, sent me so many cute updates, pictures and videos during the day. Raina had so much fun playing with the other dogs, and I would 100% rebook if I’m in the area in the future. Highly recommend!”

“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!”


“Ashley was great with our dog. He felt very comfortable in her home We particularly appreciated her prompt communications in arranging our pet-sitting ,and the frequent texts and photos during our dog's stay. We highly recommend Ashley and would have her care for our dog again.”

About: My love for dogs has grown since my first childhood dog. With over 10 years of experience working with animals, I now run a dog bandana business. I've worked with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I truly enjoy meeting new furry friends. I'm also very active and would love to take your pup on walks or runs to help burn off those zoomies! I am currently a graduate student at UVA and have a lot of free time during the week! I am able to do drop in or walks often, as my schedule is flexible! I live in an apartment that has a few great dog parks and a lot of grass to run around and walk. There are also walking trails super close that would be great.
“Many thanks to Hannah for watching our pup! Drop-off and pick-up was easy, Hannah herself was kind and personable; I could tell picking our dog up that she had a blast and was very comfortable at Hannah's home. Our dog got plenty of exercise over there! She curled up on the bed upon getting home :) Overall great experience!”
