“Cynthia is definitely the best dog sitter I have met! Her and her family are incredibly sweet. My previous sitter canceled last minute and she responded and agreed to care for my Bailey at the last minute. I’m so grateful! Not only is she prompt with response, but she sent frequent updates and pictures. She has a big back yard and took Bailey on a fun excursion! Definitely worth the drive outside of Charlottesville! Will highly recommend!”
“Rebekah, was absolutely a great sitter for my Bucky. Daily pictures of how much fun and exercise she was given. Best part on pickup I could see how much fun he had since he was out in the yard playing with the other dogs. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Jessica was amazing! I highly recommend boarding with her! She sent so many pictures and updates of our pup which helped me feel at ease being away from her! 5 stars! ⭐️”
“Mocha enjoyed her stay with Julie, she loved running around the farm and playing with the other pups 🥰 I appreciated all the pictures & videos that were sent. Definitely would use have Julie watch over Mocha again.”
“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old puppy since I got him. He is a pretty anxious dog, which made me an anxious mother. Clayton and Brittany were great; they were unfazed by his quirks, and allowed him space to adjust. Apparently he adjusted just fine; climbing into laps. They have a large fenced yard and two lively dogs; such a fun, busy weekend for my pup! I highly recommend them…”
“Jennifer was great! She was very responsive and accommodating. She took great care of our pup and he seemed to have a great time. I definitely recommend Jennifer to watch over any fur baby. She's awesome.”
“Nathan is great with our dog. She has been there twice now, and it’s good to see on the second time she ran right in without hesitation. We will definitely continue to use him for our doggo.”
“I have to be very picky when choosing sitters as one pup has separation anxiety and will not stay with just anyone. I have had many issues with past sitters being dishonest and not following my guidance but I HIGHLY recommend Tanine!!! I have two very high energy pups (golden doodle and lab). She kept me updated, good and bad, and made sure to give my pup his meds with enough time for them to be effective prior to crating. She ensured to make them as comfortable as possible through the day and I truly appreciate her level of care. I specifically chose her due to the training background and I am so glad I followed through though there were not many reviews. I did not have to ask for pictures or updates throughout. She has small children that seem to love dogs so I know my pups received comfort as they love children. She is a gem! To have the patience and be willing to work with us through his anxiety is not something you find in all Rover sitters. Glad to have finally found a permanent option!”
“All you need to know is that Angel’s ears perk up when we tell her she is going to stay with Scott and Sarah. They take very good care of her and ease the guilt of me being away because, to Angel, it’s a treat.”
“Reuben was so great with Buddy! Sent pics and updates throughout the two weeks. My dog seemed to have a great time with Reuben and especially with his own dog! I would definitely recommend Reuben!”
“So helpful, my booking was last minute and i greatly appreciate Whitney being able to watch my pups for me. My dogs were so warm out from playing so much at her house. Will definitely keep her at the top of my list!”
“We really like Jessica...she takes care of our senior girl so well. She sends updates and pics throughout her stay. We use her alot and Bella fits right in with her family.”
“Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with. We did an initial visit then she agreed to watch on the spot. April, her dog, is amazing as well. We will definitely go with her again!”
About: I have owned dogs for my whole life. I have also fostered for the past 5+ years. I am well suited for any type of dog at any age. I am comfortable with special dietary needs, medications, Baths, walks, hikes ect. I am a stay at home mom of 11 year old twins, also animal lovers. I am self employed and have a very flexible schedule We do not have a fenced in yard however we live on a very private 12 acres with plenty of space for walks, hikes and adventure. I have 3 very well behaved dogs that know the rules! I do have crates and small playpen fences if required and am happy to make any necessary accommodations.
“Charity kept my senior pup Buster for two nights this past weekend. He's very dog selective, thus has to be kept by himself/away from other dogs most of the time. I was pleased to find out she took the time to assess his personality and closely supervise an introduction to one of her very laid back dogs and all went well. He came home happy and well adjusted. I've already given her name to a local friend, and will check her schedule for future boarding needs.”
“Jocelin and Christian did an exceptional job caring for our pups. Jocelin shared pictures daily and made extra effort to give them the exercise our high energy young ones need. I highly recommend Jocelin for boarding your dogs.”

Devon R.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Devon R. for any dog walking or pet care needs. She has a natural way with animals—gentle, patient, and genuinely caring. Our dogs, Sadie & Lucy, who can be a bit shy around new people, immediately felt comfortable with Devon, and that speaks volumes! Devon is dependable, responsible, and always shows up on time. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended care, or last-minute help, I always know my pet is in great hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further. I can’t recommend Devon R. enough! Sincerely, Jillian D.”
