“Bertie and the family are absolutely AMAZING!! They were able to accommodate my last minute request. I was continuously sent pictures and updates which I really appreciated. They were very gentle and understanding as Fluff is shy and gets anxious. I would 100% recommend Bertie and I would leave Fluff again with them.”

“Aly and family took care of our dog like he was one of their family. He was very happy with them. And getting a pic a day was great. We definitely recommend.”

“Hank came home exhausted which means he had a blast. Cynthia did a great job in every Dept from communication to updates throughout the weekend. We were extremely pleased with her work.”

“We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with Kathryn while we were states away for 9 days. She sent pictures showing how happy she was while in her care. I truly did not worry about Story AT ALL! She will be the first person I check with every time we are away!”

“Ashley communicated so well. She texted photos and gave updates while my dog stayed with her. My dog was happy and well cared for. Thank you Ashley!”

“Nadia is amazing! She automatically made me feel comfortable with her knowledge of animals and her presence. Normally I would be worried to leave my dog to go out of the country, but Nadia made it such an easy and pleasant experience. She sent pictures and updates everyday. She respected all of the care instructions I left and made sure Moose was well taken care of. She and her husband treated him like family and made him feel welcome and spoiled with love, which I so appreciated. She truly is one of a kind and Moose really enjoyed his stay with her. I will definitely be booking with her again for future trips and highly recommend her to anyone!”

Kelsey D.

“Izzy was amazing! So easy to coordinate with, flexible, communicative. Coco went with her happily and felt so comfortable in her home. Izzy sent us lots of cute photos throughout the visit. Would absolutely recommend!”

“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.”

Kristine P.

“Outstanding person and dog caretaker. Our pup probably had more fun with Amy than at home, and we had zero concerns leaving him for ten days. He came home happy and healthy.”

“We left our rescue dog, Archie, with Charissa over Thanksgiving weekend. All we can say is that right from the get go, we knew we'd made the right decision. Charissa immediately put us at ease that all of our dog's quirks would be sensitively handled. To give one example, knowing that Archie can be a bit frantic when meeting new dogs, Charissa made sure he had time to adjust to his new surroundings before meeting any other pooches. Over the course of his stay, Archie had a great time - photo updates showed him playing fetch and hanging out with other dogs. When we came to pick him up, he was energetic and happy; a testament to how much he enjoyed his stay. All in all, we can't recommend Charissa enough. Thanks for taking such good care of Archie.”

“Danielle took my last minute request to board Luna at her house. She was an AMAZING sitter. When we met her (since this was our first time meeting) she had a pen and paper ready to write down what Luna needed. Throughout her stay, Danielle sent lots of adorable pictures of play time and it made me feel at peace knowing Luna was in good hands. Her messages provided lots of updates with how Luna was doing and any pet who has her as a sitter is blessed to have found her!”

Tatiana B.

“Laura did an amazing job caring for our dog while we were on vacation. He came home happy from spending the week playing with Laura and her dogs—she even managed to brush him!! Looking at the photos she sent every day, we kept commenting to ourselves “he’s clearly on his own vacation, too!””

About: I've been taking care of animals of all kinds since I was 12! I started volunteering early with a local humane society and have been active in rescues ever since. I have also fostered dogs from two months-10 years old, including medical fosters, so I'm comfortable giving pets medicine if need be. I currently work at UVA in their communications office, where I have a lot of flexibility, especially on Thursdays and Fridays when I work remotely. I'm available most weekends and many holidays! I live in a shared house with a unfenced backyard and a couple of roommates, both of whom love dogs! There's a trail near me that I enjoy walking dogs on if they are OK with other people/dogs. Otherwise, I take dogs on walks once or twice daily.

“10/10 would absolutely book with her again! she was so prompt and responsive leading up to ollie’s stay, and she was incredibly accommodating. as soon as i arrived, she immediately made me feel like ollie was in good hands, which gave me so much peace of mind. he had such a fun time staying with her and even got to see goats, which was definitely a highlight! i really appreciated how caring and attentive she was with him.🩷”

About: I have my associates degree in animal sciences and have been tending to animals of all kinds since I was very young. I have experience with farms along with typical house pets. I am a stay at home mom who loves to spend her days loving on animals and enjoying nature. We go on walks and enjoy each others company! I have 1 dog at home, which can be kept separate from other pets. I have an indoor/ outdoor cat. I have an extra large crate for those in need. I have a spacious yard, and leashes for those who need them.

“Kirstin is the best! Can’t say enough good things! Our new rescue puppy Sky is a little timid and needs lots of reassurance. Kirstin provided such a calm & cozy place for her last week & sent lots of updates and pics. I had a great vacation knowing Sky was safe, having fun & even napping with Kirstin’s kitty!”

“Gretchen was incredibly responsive, supportive, & communicative — especially for a last-minute request. If I’m in the area again and need a dog sitter, I will definitely reach out; the care from her community of neighbors was incredible! I particularly appreciated their transparency & consideration for Bugs’ needs.”

“Braeden was great! Super communicative and shared pics of my dog with me during the stay which I loved. She clearly loves animals. I would definitely leave my dog with her again.”
