“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Hillary! We receive daily updates with photos. Our girl was given walks and lots of love and had a fun time while we were away! Thank you!”


“Bree was pleasant and provided updates and pictures. We booked less than a week in advance and she was able to be available. We were looking for someone who could watch both our cat and dog and she was happy to. Much appreciated!”


“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.”


“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 were so happy to leave our boy, Denver, with Jesse and Emily. Denver is almost 14 and so giving him the love and attention he’d get as the only dog in the home was really important to us, and not having to worry about him getting stressed out by younger dogs who constantly wanted to play for 6 days. We couldn’t have been happier. Denver was right at home, getting walks that he loves as well as plenty of chill time and attention from Jesse and Emily as well as their two girls. Jesse and Emily were great about sending us photo updates that let us know that Denver was comfy and happy. Denver is a finicky eater especially when not at home and they were great about paying attention and giving some treats here and there to get his appetite going. We would definitely leave Denver with them again!”


“Pizza was sad to leave Katina, her amazing backyard, and her pups! We have greatly appreciated Katina watching over Pizza while we have lived in Charlottesville and highly recommend her for boarding.”


“Jessica was amazing! I highly recommend boarding with her! She sent so many pictures and updates of our pup which helped me feel at ease being away from her! 5 stars! ⭐️”


“Paula did a great job taking care of our dog! She was very communicative and had a great set up for dog sitting. Our dog had a lot of fun playing with the toys and her dogs. We are grateful!”


“Lola had a wonderful time with Svitlana. Svitlana clearly loves dogs and took such good care of my dog. She sent updates with photos and videos regularly to let us know how Lola was doing. I would definitely book again!”


“I can’t recommend Jani and Paul enough! They were prompt with communication and flexible in scheduling drop off/pickup times. Birdie seemed to have a blast there and will definitely rebook their services the next time I need it.”


“Bertie, Liss and family are absolutely wonderful! It was the first time leaving my puppy overnight and they were kind, responsive and helpful. They took great care of my pup, treated her like their own, and sent lots of updates. I can’t recommend them enough and will absolutely book with them again!”


“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!”

“Aly was great and Rory had an amazing time! She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on her the whole time. She was also super flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to pick her up late. All around wonderful experience!”


“Rebecca has a wonderful space and very lovely playful pups! We had a great meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit and booked when we all felt it was! She provided good updates and was flexible with us and our pup. She is an experienced doggy caretaker and our dog had a great time and came back to us happy and tired from all the playtime and walking. Couldn't recommend her enough!”


“Reuben was so great with Buddy! Sent pics and updates throughout the two weeks. My dog seemed to have a great time with Reuben and especially with his own dog! I would definitely recommend Reuben!”


“Incredibly helpful and understanding with our trip and dog’s needs! We had several changes to our itinerary and Kayla accepted them all with grace and compassion. Our dog was in such good hands while we were out of town. Highly recommended!!!”

“Oliver has a GREAT with Jeff! He got along well with Jeff's adorable furreinds. Jeff sent timely updates with pictures which put me at ease while out of town. Thank you and hope our paths cross again!”


“We have had Najia take care of our cat a few times and she always takes such good care of her. This time Bagel was a little overweight and managed to come home a few pounds less! We also get frequent pictures and updates, which we appreciate”
