Doggy Day Care in Locust Grove, Charlottesville, VA

“what is a very awesome Rover mommy I’m very funny where I leave my puppy and she took care of her better than if she was her own puppy she even trimmed her nails for me. I definitely will be returning to Paula again many times she is more than a five star sitter thank you so much, Paul”

“Bertie was amazing! It was my first time using Rover as a pet owner, and I needed a sitter for the day while on vacation. My puppy is still fairly young and is very attached to me, but she appeared to settle in pretty quickly and have a great time with some other pups. Bertie stayed in touch while I was out, sending pics and updates, and even recommended some great local spots to check out. Super happy with this experience!”

“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”

“Many thanks to Hannah for watching our pup! Drop-off and pick-up was easy, Hannah herself was kind and personable; I could tell picking our dog up that she had a blast and was very comfortable at Hannah's home. Our dog got plenty of exercise over there! She curled up on the bed upon getting home :) Overall great experience!”

“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.”

“Svitlana was wonderful! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day and even a video. She has a nice fenced in backyard and her pup was the perfect playmate for my dog. I can’t wait to book with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and truly love working with them. Since the age of 10, I’ve looked after dozens of dogs, volunteered at multiple shelters, and trained two puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes from tiny 8 pound pups to large 100 pound dogs. I would be honored to watch your dog and can promise they’ll receive plenty of attention, care, and love while in my hands. I already have a dog to walk on a daily basis and I am home for most of every day. I will have the free time to take care of your dog to the best of my ability. I have a dog crate, homemade dog house, and an organized 3 story house the dog can stay in and roam around. There is a small front yard and a large area outback for space to walk.

“Gwynee is a very professional, responsive, and caring, she gives Zoe the love and attention she needs while I'm at work. I highly recommend her as your furbaby care taker and will continue using her to watch Zoe.”

“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!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bowie! Jayden was wonderful from start to finish. He kept us updated throughout our time away with regular messages and adorable photos of Bowie, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Bowie was well cared for and happy. Jayden’s communication was excellent - they were always responsive and proactive about letting us know how things were going. I came back to one very content puppy! I would absolutely book with Jayden again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”

About: I’m a mom of two, proud dog owner, and lifelong animal lover who understands just how important it is to know your pets are cared for like family when you’re away. With two dogs of my own, I know the joy of long walks, playtime, and snuggles—and I bring that same energy and love to every pet I care for. I balance my career in marketing with the things I enjoy most: playing pickleball, cheering on college football, hiking, and spending time outdoors in nature. I’m reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented, which means you can trust me to not only care for your pets but also look after your home with the same level of responsibility I give to my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’d love to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away. Work from home primarily so plenty of time for outdoor fun and bathroom breaks. Schedules are flexible to meet your needs so just let me know how we can help! When I’m caring for dogs in someone else’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or favorite play activities—so the dogs feel comfortable and secure. I always give them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting the home by keeping things neat, tidy, and safe. My goal is to make sure both the pets and their owners feel at ease, knowing that their dogs are happy, cared for, and loved while they’re away.

“Awesome dog sitter! I was in Charlottesville for an interview, and needed a sitter pretty last minute. Caroline was super responsive, sent me so many cute updates, pictures and videos during the day. Raina had so much fun playing with the other dogs, and I would 100% rebook if I’m in the area in the future. Highly recommend!”

“I was going through Charlottesville and desperately need someone to watch my dog for a few hours while I went to the doctor and took my car to be serviced. Aly was exactly who I was looking for, and more important, exactly who my dog needed.”

“Kayla was great for doggy daycare she provided for my pup. She was attentive and communicative to me with pictures and follow up with how Sadie was doing throughout the day. Will book with her againz”

Katrina R.

“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.”

“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 lived around animals my entire life, and I have endless love and patience for animals of all kinds. My number one priority is to make your animal feel cared for. I’m currently working a part time job that I spend about 15 hours at a week, but my hours are very flexible and I can work around almost anything! I will take pets on walks and/or feed them, give them water and make sure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy I have my own dogs that I care for throughout the day, but as a part time worker I have a lot of free time in the day to tend to your pets needs! I can stay with your pets in their own home, and I have my own dog who is very sweet who loves to make new friends. My goal is to spend quality time with your pets and make them feel cared for in the time I spend with them.

“Very good experience! Kettu had a great time with the other two pups, and Allison was very communicative, and sent pictures! Thanks so much, we will be back!”
