Dog Boarding Kelly Town-Rugby Heights

“Lissette and Bernie were super communicative and sent us lots of photos of Pebbles playing, walking and relaxing on her stay! It was our first time leaving her with a sitter while we traveled, and we felt very at ease leaving her with them, especially with her being a puppy!”

Lauren M.

“Jesse and Emily were absolutely amazing. They took such great care of our sweet boy and sent lots of updates. Our dog unfortunately had a medical event (he has known epilepsy) during his stay and they handled it incredibly. They were so communicative and loving and went above and beyond to make sure he was okay. We could not be more grateful to have had them watching our dog while we were away.”

Janine P.

“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.”

Heather D.

“Svitlana was so great with my high maintenance dog, despite there being a scuffle. She took great care of her and sent videos and pictures through the time she watched my dog.”

About: Hi there! My name is Catherine. I have grown up with dogs in my house and have always had a passion for animals. I always want to make sure your furry family members feel comfortable and loved while you’re away! I am reliable and make sure to communicate clearly when a problem arises, or just to send pictures because I know you miss your pet. I love going for walks around my neighborhood and make sure to give plenty of cuddles! I am in online school full-time, so I can your pet my full attention during the day. I am very active during the day and am never in the same spot twice, so there will be lots of activity if your dog needs it. I live in a gated community and can accommodate crated dogs. I also do not mind your dog being on the furniture! I do not currently own a pets and I live in a smoke-free household.

“Riley is simply the best dog sitter you can search for. She is conscientious, organized, responsive, and she loves dogs. Her way with dogs is special; she paid attention to our dog for the week we booked, and the entire time we were away, we were at ease knowing our dog was cared for like family. It is without reservation that we give the highest rating for Riley - again, simply the best!”

“As someone who was just passing through Charlottesville to attend a wedding, I was really apprehensive about leaving our two Jack Russell Terriers with someone I didn’t know. Aly was a great choice and just as wonderful as all her five star reviewers had said. She sent photos throughout our time away which was very reassuring. If you need someone while passing through or because you live in the area and need a loving home for your fur baby to hang out, don’t hesitate to reach out to Aly!”

“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.”

Elizabeth V.

“Mark & DJ took great care of our babies. They sent us updates consistently & went the extra mile in checking what was best for both of our dogs. You can tell they have a passion for dogs (and photo skills!). We cant recommend them enough!”

Beatriz S.

“Hank came home exhausted which means he had a blast. Cynthia did a great job in every Dept from communication to updates throughout the weekend. We were extremely pleased with her work.”

Chris C.

“Ashley watched my Lexie, 5 and a half year old black lab, for 6 days. She provided me daily updates and photos of Lexi's activities to keep me informed that she was doing well. I highly recommend Ashley as a resource to care for your dog as well.”

Scott S.

“Ava is the best!! I’ve boarded my dog with her twice now and both experiences have been great. She’s been so helpful and has communicated very well with us. I’m happy to have found our go to dog sitter!!”

Laura Beth F.

“Brooke was great! Very communicative, accommodating, and sent pictures during the stay. The property is beautiful with lots of space to run and our dog had a great time staying with her!”

Lauren D.

“Jani and Paul treated Leo like he was part of the family. He received so much attention and love, I’m not sure he wanted to leave! Thank you so much for giving Leo such wonderful care.”

Anne G.

“Jenny sent me updates and pictures of my dog while I was gone. She took my dog with her throughout parts of the day around the stables. Drop off and pick up went smoothly. She was great!”

About: Hey y’all! I have taken care of pets, specifically dogs, for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Louisiana with 2 dachshunds in my family home. One of them had diabetes, so I am experienced with giving shots and oral medication. In addition to taking care of the weenie dogs, I had a pet hedgehog and chameleon in high school. I truly love animals of all kinds. I grew up walking and dog sitting for family friends and neighbors. In high school, I was an involved volunteer at my local humane society. When I was in college, I ended up rescuing a dog from that shelter. My parents took him in since I lived in a college dormitory. After I graduated college, I couldn’t wait to get my own dog! Here in Charlottesville, I have 1 dog now, Pretzel, who is a small lab mix. He is also a rescue, and is my world! I can’t wait to meet, walk, and watch your pets! I have a non-traditional work schedule that is unpredictable but also flexible. I go into work most week days, or sometimes work from home. My hours can vary, but I always make time to walk my dog Pretzel multiple times a day with trips to the dog park when I can. I am available on the weekends. In my home, Pretzel roams free. I do not kennel him, as he is potty trained. I want Pretzel to be able to roam around as he pleases. Pretzel sleeps with me every night.

“Julie and her family did a wonderful job looking after my dog Margarita while I was away for a week. They gave her a lot of attention and love and Margarita loved staying with them. I highly recommend Julie to other dog parents!”

“Caroline took great care of our boy while we were on a long vacation! We got tons of updates and pictures and our dog seemed happy and tired when we got back.”

Ella B.

“Heather & her family were a great match for Mía. From the Meet & Greet, to drop off, asking how to best care for her, and pick up…they were responsive, informative, and caring. Thank you!”

Kent B.

“They were absolutely amazing! They kept us updated with photos and texts throughout the day. We felt very comfortable dropping him off at their home. This app is a hit or miss sometimes and they were a breath of fresh air. Reggie was well taken care of and we would be very confident going back to them.”
