Dog Boarding in Martha Jefferson, Charlottesville, VA

“Our little dog has anxiety, but he felt very at home with Paula and was well taken care of! When we picked him up it seemed like he wanted to stay!”

“Penny was incredible! She treated our dog like one of the family. Penny was also very communicative, letting us know how our pup was doing throughout the weekend. Could not recommend more highly!”

“Hello! We really enjoyed meeting Jesse and Emily, they are warm and attentive. We really appreciated their wonderful care of our dog Lucy, how they accommodated us for an hour extra day and will definitely call them again! Caroline L.”

“Hillary is a great sitter. A dog lover, she was so engaged and involved with our 2 Goldens during the week they stayed with her and her family. She sent multiple pictures, videos, and texts every day. The dogs were in great shape when we picked them up and it was clear that that they had been very well cared for. It is so comforting to know that your beloved pets are in good hands and Hillary exudes that type of confidence in her care. We are empty nesters and could tell from the videos and pics that the dogs loved playing with her children. I highly recommend Hillary!”

“Bree was great with Winter! She sent all the pictures and was really responsive. I had some travel changes and she was very accommodating for picking Winter up at a different time. Will definitely use Bree again if I need a sitter in Charlottesville!”

“This was Lady's first sleep over with Svitlana, and although Lady is only 4 years old, she is deaf, and Svitlana does a great job of making her feel at home. We are very thankful to have found such a welcoming and safe place for Lady when we are away.”

“This is our second time booking with Cynthia. Good communication and updates with pictures and photos, but more importantly you can tell she really cares. Harley has come out happy each time and we will definitely keep using Cynthia in the future.”

“Cash had the best time on his weekend stay with Aly. He had a Super Bowl party with new friends! I got lots of updates and could tell he was happy and relaxed. When I went to pick him up he said hello and trotted right back inside, he was not ready to leave! I know he will be so excited to go back to his new vacation house whenever we have to leave town!”

“Nana took amazing care of Oliver, ensuring he was happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. He provided regular updates, photos, and even went the extra mile to adjust with our schedule. It’s clear they genuinely care about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Katina is amazing. Our dog is always super happy to go and is in great spirits when we pick her up. You can’t go wrong trusting your dogs with Katina! She’s the best!”

“My dogs had another great stay with Julia. Coordinating drop off and pick-up was really easy. The dogs enjoyed her pets and the fenced yard. They'll be back. ”

“I cannot recommend Milan highly enough! From the very beginning, her communication was prompt and professional. She always responded quickly and made scheduling a breeze. What really stood out, though, was her incredible attention to detail and the level of care she showed for my puppy. She was patient, gentle, and clearly experienced, taking the time to understand my pup’s personality and routine. Most importantly, she made my dog feel completely comfortable and at ease, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, but Milan exceeded every expectation. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“We met Allison a few years ago when she noticed us walking our large Anatolian Shepherd in our neighborhood. She was very friendly, and wanted to meet him immediately. (This shocked me because most people are afraid of him). Our dog Bumble is 110lb, not afraid of anyone or anything, and took to her immediately, so we began walking our dogs together in the neighborhood. Allison was confident about introducing her dog to mine, although my dog can be reactive at times. The two did well together, due to her calm and confident nature and being 'in charge'. She has also been able to walk my dog on the same road as another dog that typically causes mine to react. I saw her handle them all perfectly, like there was never an issue. All the dogs were like cupcakes, everybody stayed calm and in their lane. I've been shocked to see her integrate my pup into other situations that I don't even have the confidence to do personally, and he's been just fine. My dog has pulled my 6'2 250lb father out of his chair once holdling his leash...he has pulled my mother in law on her knees barking at another husky near his kids. Other than my husband, she's is truly the ONLY other person I trust to walk my dog because I know he will not get away from her, nor out-boss her. But she is also the most friendly and gentle lady you'll meet. She complies with the training methods we have already been using, so my dog is not confused. I was so thrilled when she finally was able to board him, and we no longer needed to leave him at a kennel, because there's nobody else I trust and feel confident in keeping this lovable (but can be a knuckle-head -at-times) big guy when we aren't home. I know he will not get himself into trouble, AND he can enjoy the company of other pups with her being in charge. She's a very capable, confident, and kind leader. She won my trust so quickly. She's also been able to gain trust with my cat (aptly named Spooky) who never comes out for any company. Most of my family has never seen our 15year old cat because he is so skittish, but Allison sees him a couple times every time she cares for them, out walking around the house as he normally would with us, his family. She's clearly gained his trust, also. I am grateful to have found Allison, and would recommend her for any furry babies you have!!!”

“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!”

“Jani and Paul are fantastic. Wonderful, caring people who go way above the norm to take care of our (and all) dog. Herschey loved staying with them.”

“Mary and her boys kept Lulu for one evening, and we have booked again~ They are welcoming, excited to care for your dog, and very genuine. Her boys, especially the younger 2, Hayden and Elliott were right there to offer care to my dog. She was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Highly recommend!”

“Brooke took excellent care of our dogs over a long weekend and kept us updated with photos the whole time. Would definitely use her to watch our pets again!”

“Jessica, James and Morty were wonderful hosts for Winston. They were welcoming and responsive. I knew Winnie was in great hands while we were away!”

“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…”

“Rebecca did an amazing job with our dog. She kept well updated and I can tell Zurie had a great time during her stay. I would highly recommend Rebecca as a dog sitter!”
