“Wonderful experience, I would highly recommend Katrina for watching your pups. My pups were very very happy and I appreciated the daily pictures and videos that she sent. The dogs were definately safe and content !”
“We live in Charlottesville but gladly take Lentil out to Louisa every time we leave town because we know how well taken care of she is by Charissa and Alex. She makes progress on her training every time we pick her up, and she’s always happy and pooped. It’s great knowing your dog is a place she loves when you’re gone.”
“Your fur babies will be in good hands!! Great communication and pictures throughout their stay. One of our dogs has epilepsy and Nathan was great at letting me know when Vince had his meds! Thanks, Nathan for taking great care of our two pups!”
“Denise treated my girls as family. I was so at ease while on vacation . She sent me weekly updates ( video and pictures ). I knew my babies were in good hands. Denise is very personable and friendly. We will definitely be using Denise again !!! She will love your furbabies as her own while she has them !”
“Kaitlyn is friendly and super accommodating to make sure your dog has a wonderful experience and time while you’re away! She made sure my dog was at home and part of her family. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Definitely will want to utilize her again.”
“Rebekah watched Jane while I was on a 10 day vacation. Everyday I received photo and video updates on how Jane was doing. It really helped me enjoy my trip knowing she was happy and well cared for. Rebekah is very professional and does an exceptional job!!!”
“Jeanette is truly a gem! She took care of my dog for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could see how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her—which says a lot! Jeanette kept me updated with sweet messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Her home is warm and perfectly set up for pets to feel safe and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again. Highly, highly recommend!””
“Really excellent experience with Zach! It was our first time using his services with our 7 month old lab. We felt very comfortable leaving him and got great feedback from Zach both during and after Red’s stay. Will definitely use Zach again!”
“Communicating very well! Loved on our three dogs all week! Two small dogs and our giant bear. They were amazing and our dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Sadie and Louie were well cared for and I could tell they had a great day. My dogs got along well with sitters’ dogs and her home is large enough where they can find a quiet space to get away and rest. Dogs were taken on a nice walk and out to just potty as needed. Very happy with this sitter.🐾😁👍🏻”
“Heather has hosted our 88 lbs yellow lab Chewy for extended overnight stays twice now. We know he's enjoyed the stay because he is eager to get in her door when we drop him off - and he's tired from all the play and fun when we pick him up days later. She does a great job communicating with us and takes his mischief with good humor. Will definitely continue to board him with her.”
“I was little unease at first but Mr. Praveen help me to feel comfortable with his interaction with me through photos. I’m was able to enjoy my event knowing that Judah was in good company. I will definitely use Mr. Praveen again.”
“Robin was fantastic!!! When we used other kennels in the past and our dogs always came home “shell shocked” and were skittish for weeks. We left them with Robin from Thursday to Sunday and they were happy running and playing … socializing!!! Robin sent pics daily. We will definitely bring our dogs back to Robin.”
“Paula was amazing. I came in from out of town and arrived extremely late. She was very accommodating. I had no doubt that Caesar was in good hands.”
About: Your fur baby will have a blast with our pack! Winnie, Tater and Goose are the ultimate pals. We will be sure to keep your pup entertained and a great way to get exercise and affection while you’re away! If you have an older dog, I can offer one on one snuggle time and a calm relaxing environment separate from the other pups. We have 2 acres and enjoy outside playtime. We frequent the dog park in Louisa and hiking trails from Richmond to Charlottesville. Common treats are homemade chicken jerky and sardines. Please let me know if your pup is not on a tick preventative. We treat our yard with a dog safe spray but enjoy recreational activities away from home and would like to be extra cautious for your fur baby. I have full weekday and have full weekend availability! We enjoy going on walks in our neighborhood or the park close by early in the morning and late at night before it gets too hot. Depending on your pup’s age, younger ones will have tater and goose to play with. Older/calmer pups will stay with Winnie and I in a separated part of the house. I will care for your pup however you feel they will do the best (:
“We had our first experience with Amanda and family, and it was a long stay, over the holidays. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, loving, and kind family to take care of Rufus. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond—even the whole family came out together during the initial meet and greet to meet him, which meant so much to us, and I had no doubts our dog was going to have the best time and be in such great care. Rufus was treated like one of their own, made fast friends with Amanda’s dog (a bigger win than one might realize!) , and absolutely loved having the space to run around and play. We were so grateful for all the updates and communication throughout his stay—it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Their flexibility was also such a gift during a busy time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Amanda again and recommending them 100% to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of Rufus!”
“Bertie and her family took great care of our Frenchie Gizmo. Kept us updated with pictures almost daily will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Denton and Elizabeth provided excellent care of our girls over the Thanksgiving holiday! The accommodations were clean, large, and just what our pups needed. We would not hesitate to book with Denton and Elizabeth again!”
“Heather is super responsive and takes your pet’s needs seriously. My pup is sweet but has some anxiety issues—Heather thoughtfully supported all of his needs while providing lots of pictures and updates to ease my mind while he was under her care. Highly recommended… will definitely be booking again!”
“Took care of our 2 beagles over a holiday. The dogs had a great time and got pics throughout their stay. Great communication and would definitely use them again!”
