Doggy Day Care in Little High, Charlottesville, VA

“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.”

“Izzy was tired as all get out. She loves it at Carolyn’s. Carolyn got some of the best photos that I will have forever. Another great weekend as always.”

“Rebecca was amazing! She met with me before watching my dogs and she was very loving and attentive to both of them. She kept me informed about how they did while I was gone and kept the report card up-to-date. She left my house very clean and she was very respectful. I would definitely use her again!”

“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”

“Lady had a fun day at Svitlana's, and got some socialization, playing with other dogs! I can relax knowing she is safe and happy when we are away for a day.”

“This was my first time using the Rover daycare service and I am absolutely happy with my first experience with Julia. I have two dogs, Ginger and Olaf. Olaf is still a puppy and has lots of energy and when I brought them home both doggies were happy and tired :) they also have a good time with Julia's baby. I am so glad I found a wonderful pet sitter who I can trust :) thank you so much!!!”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“He is the best caregiver around my area. I always feel at ease when I leave my golden with him. He is a kind and humble person, I hope you guys are able to trust him.”

“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: Hi! My name is Riley and I'm a 20-year-old nursing student originally from South Carolina. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm raising and caring for different animals, so caretaking has always come naturally to me. As of now, I have 4 dogs back at home and 1 dog currently residing with me. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with all types of animals, my reliability, and how much I truly love caring for them. I understand how important it is to find someone to trust with your pets. I'm very communicative, respectful of each pet's/owner's unique needs, and can confidently handle anything from a laid-back walk to giving medications or handling multiple pets simultaneously. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I'll treat your pup(s) like family! Pet care is at the center of my daily life! Rover is my full-time job, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to the pets I care for. I will be starting nursing school in Fall 2025, but for now, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time to focus completely on your pet’s needs. I live right beside the college campus, surrounded by hiking trails and parks — perfect for daily walks, outdoor adventures, and plenty of playtime. Making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for is always my #1 priority. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise — whether it’s relaxing at home, going for walks, playing in the dog park, or exploring nearby trails. In my home, your pet will also have the opportunity to socialize with my own friendly dog, who loves making new pup friends. I always keep a close eye on behavior and health to make sure they are happy and stress-free. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.

“Alexandra took such good care of our dog Willow. She sent us plenty of photos and videos, and Willow looked like she was having a blast. She was flexible when my husband was running a bit late from work to pick her up which was super helpful. We will definitely have her watch our pup again!”

“Bree was so great! She was super flexible with my long work hours and Oakley had the absolute best time with her! We will definitely be using her again!”

“Victoria took amazing care of Kendrick! He was able to play with her dog Maverick and was very happy the entire time!”

“Stefanee was great - great with my dog - kept me updated - really welcoming reception for my dog who had a great time for the day. Definitely would use her again!”

“Roy is EXCELLENT!!! He is kind and treated my dogs like his own. I have a small terrier mix who gets nervous easily. Roy had my Kaiden excited to see him, no problem! If he could get Kaiden to like him, Roy is certainly a dog whisperer!! Lol! Definitely recommend him and will be utilizing his services in the future,”

“Gwynee is a great babysitter and so grateful I have her to watch Zoe while I work. She's flexible on her hours and Zoe really loves being with her!”

“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.”

“Elizabeth possesses the ideal traits of an excellent dog sitter: she is responsible, knowledgeable about caring for and training dogs, and unconditionally loves every dog she ever encounters. Her experience working at the Humane Society speaks to her ability to kindly care for and responsibly handle dogs of all ages and all different demeanors. There is no doubt in my mind that she will be my number one choice of dog sitter when I have a dog of my own. ”
