“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.”


“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.”


“Rebecca is an amazing pet caretaker. She is thoughtful, attentive and knowledgeable. I felt good knowing my dog was with her and my dog, who is shy at first, came out of her shell and had a great time!”


“So glad I recently found Carolyn for occasional doggie daycare support for my sometimes-anxious Doodle. She was so responsive and clearly cares deeply for dogs!”


“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.”



“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.”



“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!!!”


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!

“Jenny watched my Lincoln today and was AMAZING. She was so responsive and easy to work with. She asked enough questions that it was obvious she really cared that my pup was comfortable and happy. She also sent me updates and pictures throughout the day including ones of him snuggled up on the couch so I know he was cozy. We would 100% recommend her.”


About: I have had a dog since 2012 when I finished my time in an operational Navy squadron. My family has rescued several dogs (we have six now!), and I have a 9-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix. I recently began fostering to help give shelter dogs a break, which led to me adopting my second pup, a year-old boxer mix. My dog is diabetic, meaning I am comfortable and able to administer injectable medication if needed, and can handle oral medication as well. I have taken care of everything from 2-month old puppies to 13-year-old senior dogs. I love them all. I work from home, so my hours are flexible. Generally will take my dog for a longer walk in the morning and after lunch, and several potty breaks throughout the day as she needs. I have a big front and side yard, but no fence. I am extremely careful with the dogs on the leash, plus always make sure that I'm aware of what our surroundings are.

“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.”


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.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from small breeds to large, so I’m comfortable caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I currently have an 11-month-old black Lab that I adopted from the Charlottesville SPCA, and together we’ve completed puppy training and loose-leash walking. My experience with training, combined with my lifelong love for dogs, means I’m patient, attentive, and ready to meet your pet’s needs. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your routine to provide reliable, personalized care for your pup! I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of extra time in my schedule to give your pup the love and attention they need! Again, my work schedule is pretty flexible, so I can find times throughout the day/week/weekend that work the best for you! In my home I have an extremely friendly and energetic 11 month old black lab, who would love to be your dog’s play mate. I also have a size large crate available if that is something your dog requires. Normally, my dog and I go out for 3 or 4 30ish minute walks a day, accompanied by lots of fetch and tug, and on weekends love going on longer hikes!


“Ashley is amazing! I was in desperate need for someone to help watch my puppy for me while I was at work 0800-1700 (Mind you, I had reached out to her just 12 hours before I needed the help). I dropped Hank off at 0645, and Ashley greeted us outside. She was professional, kind, and respectful to me, and extremely loving and attentive to my puppy. I received updates with pictures and videos all day long, and when I picked up my puppy he was SO happy. It was easy to see what a great job Ashley did with my puppy all day. As a travel RN not knowing anyone here, I really lucked out with finding Ashley. I will be reaching out to her if and when I need help in the future for sure, and you should too!”


“Isaiah was an a amazing sitter! We needed him last minute as we found out late about meeting a friend that was from Germany. He was very transparent when it came to how my Cali was that day and what his plans were to keep them busy. He asks all the questions and was VERY, VERY patient with us.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I work remote so I can always be available for your little buddy! I’m a medical student, so I will have to be gone a few hours in the morning, but after that I can cater to any of your animals needs. I get up around 7 AM and head to get around 11:30. I always take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs and get some sun. Whatever you need, I’ll make sure your pet is well loved and appreciated! My house is always very clean and very spacious. I also live right next to a park and go for walks by myself regularly. Whenever I watch my friends animals, I bring my own food and activities and leave the place better than I found it.
