1. Clayton D.
“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…”
2. Aly B.
“Aly was an excellent pet sitter. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Harper had a great week. We would definitely use her again!”
3. Penny H.
“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!”
4. Paula C.
“Paula, was a terrific sitter for Sirius. We really appreciated her flexibility with extending Sirius’s stay when our plans changed. Sirius came home happy and tired. Win win!”
5. Svitlana F.
“We are regulars with Svitlana- my dog loves her, and she's fantastic! I get great photos and videos and I know my dog is getting great exercise. Thank you!”
6. Hillary D.
“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!”
7. Reuben C.
“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!”

“Julia and her family were great! Our labradoodle Linus stayed with them for 9 days and we were worried he wouldnt want to come home, he seemed to love it so much! Would and will book again!”
10. Katina M.
“Katina took amazing care of our dog Molly while we were away for a week. We received daily updates and photos. Molly had a wonderful time going on walks and to the dog park as well as playing with Katina’s cute little dog. Katina is very honest, accommodating and easy to communicate with. She was very sweet with Molly and you can tell she is a true animal lover. We will definitely have Molly stay again in the future!”

“Kara is great! Marble had a great stay with Kara when I was going on my business trip. Kara took great care of Marble. She would sent me pictures and updates of Marble. I highly recommend her.”
12. Najia Y.
“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”
13. Jani & Paul R.
“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.”
14. Nana A.
“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.”
15. Hope B.
“Hope’s home was a perfect solution for us when we visited Charlottesville. A family member has a dog allergy, so we needed to find a solution for our dog. Hope is very responsive, kind, and sends pictures of your dog enjoying their visit.”
16. Bree L.

“Jessica takes such good care of our corgi puppy! We never have to worry about leaving her in Jessica's care. I really appreciate all the pics and videos.”
19. Aiden M.
“We had a senior Pomeranian with a lot of medical needs. Aiden was fantastic with him and he was extremely happy when we came back. Our dog had bad knees, collapsing trachea, and required very specific food for his stomach. Aiden was conscientious of all of his medical needs and gave him loving attention on top of great care. Aiden also watched our cat at the same time and provided equally excellent care/service. Making sure to get eyes on the cat who tends to hide under the bed, to make sure she was alive and well. If you want someone to care for your pet like you would, Aiden is the right choice!”
20. Brooke L.
“I had to find a dog sitter while I was overseas because the person who was taking care of my dog couldn’t do it anymore. Brooke was very responsive and accommodating, and took good care of Rain. I would recommend her to others.”
