“Matt's a pro. Transparent, clear communication, easy to plan with. Our dog also had some last minute health issues the week of his stay, and Matt handled it all perfectly. 100% would book again. Thanks Matt!”


“This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!”


“Julie really put me at ease and payed attention to details. I appreciated the way she introduced Nacho to her house and her cats, it showed she cared. I also really liked that she kept in contact via pics and messages. Nacho will definitely be staying with Julie again! ”


“Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!”



“I can't say enough about our dog's first boarding experience with Helen. She made Finn - and us! - feel comfortable from the moment we met her. It's obvious how much she loves her animals and the ones she cares for. She sent regular pictures and updates, which we loved! And the Webcam's are an added bonus!! I never worried about Finn while he was in Helen's care, and he loved every minute of it. Finn will definitely be back for "Camp Helen!"”



“Our dog, Luna, LOVED her stay with Laura and her family! They made sure to understand all her needs so that she (and we) felt comfortable. While we were gone we received photos and videos of Luna enjoying her stay. It’s peace of mind to find a place where our pup was so happy while we were gone. We will be back!”


“Heather & her family were a great match for Mía. From the Meet & Greet, to drop off, asking how to best care for her, and pick up…they were responsive, informative, and caring. Thank you!”


“Wonderful experience. Emily and Abi took such good care of our CheChe! Communication was excellent and they made sure she had everything she needed to be healthy, happy and comfortable during her week-long stay.”


“Stephanie is absolutely awesome! She took very good care of Ficus, my kitten. Her communication throughout the whole process was top notch. And, she sent pictures each day keeping me up to date of how he was doing. I’m so appreciative.”


“I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.”


“Amy was friendly and professional. Our dog was well-loved and cared for during his stay. She sent us cute pictures of our dog throughout the week. We will definitely book with Amy again!”



“Debbie and Pete were awesome! At first, I was a bit nervous about how my shy Maila would react to all of their rambunctious Jack Russells. However, Debbie and Pete were both took such special care of Maila that she had a great time with the whole family! They treated her just like their own and I never worried about her while she was in their care.”


“Elizabeth looked after our sweet dog Sophie with great care and professionalism while we were away vacationing. We received messages and photos everyday, and we never once concerned ourselves about Sophie’s well being. We highly recommend and appreciate Elizabeth.”


“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!”



“Terry was so loving with our dogs. Our older girl tends to go off and hide away from everyone but Terry made sure she got tons of loves and cuddles. When we came to pick her up she tried to go back in the house with her!”


About: I have 7 years of experience taking care of dogs. This includes outside dogs, inside dogs, crated dogs etc. I have experience taking care of puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m currently working part time while doing full time online college, this gives me the opportunity to spend more time at home and focus on pet care! I currently do not have a fenced in back yard, to accommodate for this I walk dogs every two hours to ensure they get enough outside time! I also have a crate for any pups that use one.

About: Dogs have been part of my family for as long as I can remember — they’re truly woven into the fabric of my life. After 15 years as a large animal and livestock farmer, I’ve handled every kind of surprise animals can throw at me — so I’m up for unusual circumstances. Your pup will have 10 fully fenced acres to explore, sniff, and zoom to their heart’s content. And they won’t be alone! I have four animal-loving kids who can’t wait to run, play, and snuggle with new furry friends. I work from home, and my kids are homeschooled so we are home most of the time, so we are available for potty breaks and snuggles throughout the day. During the school year we attend a homeschool co-op for much of the day Tuesday and Thursday. We have 10 fully fenced acres for safe, joyful exploring, plus two friendly dogs and four dog-savvy cats to keep your pup company. Crating is available if needed (especially for new potty trainers), but we love welcoming guest dogs right into our daily routine. Your dog can enjoy farm walks, endless ball throwing, and plenty of cozy couch time with us. They’ll feel like part of the family from day one!

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 (:

“I absolutely loved Marley's experience with Natalie! When meeting her, she had such a beautiful spirit and Marley picked up on it which really made leaving her so much easier. She was very responsive to me throughout the weekend and when I picked her up - while she was happy to see me, she ran back to Natalie's daughter which let me know she was super comfortable! I highly recommend her and will be using her more frequently!”
