“Penny is a wonderful dog sitter!! I brought my dog to her home for a couple of overnight stays. She was so kind and went above and beyond to help my dog feel comfortable.”
“My dog and I had an excellent experience! I would recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter. Communication was prompt and personalized. I felt my dog was in great hands! I will definitely be boarding him with them again next time I travel.”
“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!”
“Nothing short of AMAZING!! Very accommodating and always takes great care of our sweet girl and provides updates throughout the day. We couldn’t be happier with services we received.”
“Dana was amazing and truly was able to manage the different doggie personalities. She was friendly and incredibly communicative throughout the stay which we appreciated. We will be back.”
“Aly dog sat our Charlie boy for a few night and was awesome! Super responsive; sent updates and daily photos of Charlie. Much better experience for our guy vs. boarding at a kennel/boarder. Will absolutely rebook with Aly in the future!”
“Nathan is so kind! He took our pups in with care and consideration, and was very flexible with our schedule and needs. I really appreciate him! Definitely recommend and we will be coming back.”
“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…”
“Our pups enjoyed their stay with Anne! It was easy to communicate with her and she sent lots of photos and updates. She took great care of them and we would use her again in the future. Thanks Anne!”
“This is the first time I've left Gunner overnight with anyone and Scott and Sarah are phenomenal. I would leave my dog with them 100x over they are wonderful. They let gunner sleep in bed with them even though he's 95 pounds (sorry haha) and they really accepted him like he's their own family. I highly recommend them!”
“Whitney was so amazing with our dogs. This was our first time using Rover and she made the booking process smooth and simple. We were so comfortable leaving our girls with her. We got daily updates and photos of our dogs and the adventures they had the farm. We were at ease and able to enjoy our time away from home without any worries. I will be recommending her to our friends and we will be booking with her again.”
“Reuben took good care of my large one year old Great Pyrenees mix who is extremely rambunctious (to put it mildly). After 10 days with Rueben he learned to walk on leash and play nicely with Rueben’s dog Tyson. (It’s now up to me to maintain the good behaviors he learned). Rueben’s toolkit for dog training includes a prong collar, which I agreed to let him try with some trepidation. Rueben used it sparingly and with restraint, and Ixy seemed to respond well. Rueben was also very flexible with shortening and then extending the dates of stay so I could handle a medical emergency. He is prompt to respond to queries about how your pet is doing. I plan to board my dog there again.”
“What a great experience for my standard poodle! Jocelin was responsive and sent several pictures and texts about my girl during her stay. Drop off and pick up were also a breeze.”
“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.”
