“They were excellent in taking care of my dog. They took her on walks and sent photos throughout the day so I could see how she was doing. They are reliable sitters and I look to utilize their services again.”


“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!”


“Bree was so awesome with Rocky. She sent plenty of pictures and was very responsive during the weekend. Really grateful we were able to find someone so last minute to watch him.”


“Paula was amazing. I came in from out of town and arrived extremely late. She was very accommodating. I had no doubt that Caesar was in good hands.”


“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Hillary! We receive daily updates with photos. Our girl was given walks and lots of love and had a fun time while we were away! Thank you!”


“I have used Svitlana to watch Chloe many times in the past. She is a warm, friendly and caring person who is knowledgeable about dog care. She has always been very communicative when watching Chloe- sending texts and photos. The last time I needed Svitlana, it was on short notice and not only was she able to accommodate my dates, she was able to watch both of my dogs. I trust her implicitly and I highly recommend her.”


“Bertie and her family took great care of our Frenchie Gizmo. Kept us updated with pictures almost daily will definitely use her again in the future.”



“Mary and her boys kept Lulu for one evening, and we have booked again~ They are welcoming, excited to care for your dog, and very genuine. Her boys, especially the younger 2, Hayden and Elliott were right there to offer care to my dog. She was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Highly recommend!”


“Rebecca was so great! I had to leave my dog for the first time in Cville and she was so sweet with her updates and comforting of my dog who is scared of fireworks and many other things! He had lots of fun playing with her dogs in the big backyard!”


“Jani and Paul took excellent care of our pups during our weekend away! We got tons of pictures which helped us feel confident that they were happy and safe!”


“Riley was amazing! Ryder has a good amount of anxiety and she was patient with him and treated him like her own. Sent lots of updates throughout his stay! Will definitely use Riley again!”


“Madison and Ryan were super hosts for Savannah! They were obviously loving and caring and reported in regularly. Savannah loved sitting on their balcony. We will definitely use them again!”


“Aly dog sat our Charlie boy for a few night and was awesome! Super responsive; sent updates and daily photos of Charlie. Much better experience for our guy vs. boarding at a kennel/boarder. Will absolutely rebook with Aly in the future!”



“Julia and her family were absolutely wonderful — my dog had a GREAT time sprinting around their backyard and sunbathing. Will definitely be boarding with her again!”


“We had a great experience with Brooke! She agreed to watch Zorro for a last minute trip, she was updating us through the day with pictures and videos regarding his stay. She took him on walks and to the dog park as well. Will definitely keep her in mind in the future.”


“Nana took amazing care of Oliver, ensuring he was happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. He provided regular updates, photos, and even went the extra mile to adjust with our schedule. It’s clear they genuinely care about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”


“Katina did an amazing job and will love your pet like it's her own. My dog stayed with her for a week and Katina sent multiple pics and daily updates. She took her to the dog park and on walks, in fact my dog had so much fun playing while there that she came home and slept for like a whole day:) She has two little dogs that make perfect playmates and a gate to separate them if need be. One of the dogs she was watching accidentally chewed a little on my leash and walking belt and Katina went the xtra mile and had new ones ordered before I got home with no charge! I have found the perfect sitter and will definitely use her again.”


“I cannot recommend Milan highly enough! From the very beginning, her communication was prompt and professional. She always responded quickly and made scheduling a breeze. What really stood out, though, was her incredible attention to detail and the level of care she showed for my puppy. She was patient, gentle, and clearly experienced, taking the time to understand my pup’s personality and routine. Most importantly, she made my dog feel completely comfortable and at ease, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, but Milan exceeded every expectation. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
