“Rebekah was a fantastic sitter! She sends frequent updates with photos of your pup, so you can rest assured that they are happy and safe ❤️ Jane requires almost constant human attention and goes outside every 2-3 hours. Rebekah meet all of her needs and more. Her facility is clean, inviting, and pup friendly. Will most definitely be booking again!!”
“Another great stay with Dana! Dana really goes above and beyond with the care and updates and it is such an ease of kind knowing you don’t have to worry about your pet while you’re away.”
“Nathan was wonderful! I booked last minute for the whole weekend. He was eager to help. My Yorkiepoo Kili liked him off the bat! Nathan gave updates everyday, sent pictures, and even gave him a complimentary bath! Will definitely book him again. Thank you Nathan!”
“Our Duke can be a little high maintenance, but Tanine took him in and made him feel comfortable during his stay. Tanine, her kids, and the other dogs were all great to him. He seemed to really enjoy his stay. Thanks!!!”
“Bertie was amazing! I have a new rescue dog and he and the family were so gracious with Dolly. It let my husband and I relax and enjoy Charlotte while we were visiting! They sent a bunch of pictures to show she was in good hands (even tho she is a handful) Highly recommend!!!”
“Jennifer was very quick to respond and sent me lots of pictures of my pup 😁 which I really appreciated and made me feel better since it was our first time using her. We will be doing it again. 🫶🏼”
“Kathryn watched our dog over the weekend. She is extremely communicative, accommodating, and my dog came home happy and exhausted! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“If you're anything like me and hate leaving your furry family member for any amount of time, let me just say there are NO worries while in Charity's care! She is PHENOMENAL and the communication is top notch. We've had experiences in the past boarding our dog Janey that weren't pleasant so we were worried about this trip, but Charity treated her as her own and the daily updates with photos were extremely comforting. If you need an AMAZING sitter then Charity is the one! You won't be disappointed!!!”
“Bodie absolutely loves the time he gets to spend with Cori and her family. He loves being treated as one of the family. Pixie can be a handful, especially when there’s another dog present, but Cori is able to handle her craziness with ease. Cori is very communicative during the stay and easy to work with. I always feel comfortable leaving the pups in her care.”
“Thank you Julie for taking such great care of my pups. I loved the pictures and videos that you sent. The dogs told me they felt right at home and enjoyed meeting their new pup friends. They especially loved the huge fenced in yard and freedom they felt. They can't wait to come back.”
“Stephanie was wonderful! Took care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures throughout her stay. She looked happy and well taken care of the entire time! Would definitely book with Stephanie again”
“Cynthia made sure my fairly anxious dog, Obi, was well cared for! This is the first time I’ve left him with someone he doesn’t know, so I was worried at first. But Cynthia kept me updated the whole time I was gone and her pictures and quick updates made me feel so much better about being away from Obi!”
“As someone who was just passing through Charlottesville to attend a wedding, I was really apprehensive about leaving our two Jack Russell Terriers with someone I didn’t know. Aly was a great choice and just as wonderful as all her five star reviewers had said. She sent photos throughout our time away which was very reassuring. If you need someone while passing through or because you live in the area and need a loving home for your fur baby to hang out, don’t hesitate to reach out to Aly!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with Amber’s care for my dog over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive and provided me with frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Amber made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Amber, for going above and beyond!”
“Ellie had another awesome stay last week. I am so glad to be able to leave my little houndy girl with Katina, who treats her like part of her own family. Thanks! Highly recommended without reservations of any kind. Brian”
“We are so grateful to have Charissa and Alex to care for our dogs! We have absolute trust in them and complete peace of mind whenever we leave our dogs with them. Our dogs love them, too!”
“Lakeshia was so loving and kind to our older dog. Winter wasn't feeling well with an upset tummy, Lakeshia went above and beyond with making her vet approved food and kept us posted on her progress regularly while we headed home from out of state. I truly appreciated all of her kindness.”
