“Another great doggie day care day for our pup. It's been so helpful to give her a day out with other pups socializing and running out some energy. Charissa makes scheduling so easy.”

“Paula provided just what we needed for our Chihuahua—a safe place to stay while we were in town for lunch. Our venue was not dog friendly, but knowing that our pup was being well cared for put our minds at ease.”

“Our pup has been seen back since he was a little baby. I really appreciate that he can have multiple dogs at once and be so thoughtful about pairing up dogs that will play well/safely together. Zach notices the sweet little things that we love about our baby, and it means a lot that he cares enough to notice Pax’s changes as he grows up. Pax is ecstatic when we pull up to Zach’s house, comes home tired from a day full of fun. Thank you for being there for us, especially for our last-minute requests like today!”

“Carolyn is very kind and communicative, and clearly cares for every dog she watches. We definitely hope to work with her again next time we’re in Charlottesville!”

“Rebecca is an amazing pet caretaker. She is thoughtful, attentive and knowledgeable. I felt good knowing my dog was with her and my dog, who is shy at first, came out of her shell and had a great time!”

“She’s one of the best sitters that I’ve ever had. She has everything therefore your dog she’s a great sitter.”

“Mary and her family are awesome! Sage has some health issues and Mary was extremely attentive with him and took wonderful care of him. We are blessed to have found her and Sage will definitely return for daycare.”

“Jessica is amazing!!! Our dog Lou had a blast staying at her house for the day! She loved playing in the yard with Jessica’s dog and another dog she was caring for. I couldn’t be happier to know Lou is in her care knowing she’s getting lots of cuddles and playtime. Thank you Jessica!!”

“Wonderful, responsible & kind. Great communication. Thank you!”

“Kirtly was very responsive, and gave a ton of feedbacks on the daycare session with our two dogs, one of which a 2 month old puppy. Will definitely book with Kirtly again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years, pets are my passion! I am also a former Petshotel and Doggie Day Camp Manager for a national chain and have extensive experience handling dogs, cats, and small pets of all sizes and breeds. I am currently accepting small and medium sized dogs for in house day care and overnight stays. I specialize in small and delicate breed types, not usually suited for kenneling or vet boarding. All fur babies will be treated as family members while here! They can sit on the couch, sleep on the bed, and watch TV with us just like at home. Some larger "gentle giants" can be considered on a case by case basis, just reach out. I believe pets are family! All pets in my care are treated with loving and gentle guidance using only positive reinforcement. All dogs will remain on leash the entirety of their walk. We have a fenced in area off the back patio for bathroom breaks with wood chips as ground coverage. No grass of any kind for the safety of those pets with grass and skin allergies.

“Kyle and Meagan were absolutely AWESOME! They even got my grumpy guy to have fun. That never happens, never. We are on vacation and it was a great burden lifted to know that there are such great people to leave our dogs with! Thank you guys so much!”

“Amazing experience with Madison and Ryan! We needed last minute daycare for our two dogs and they were able to help us on the spot within the day. They provided great care for our pups which were relaxed and happy at pickup! Absolutely recommend choosing them to care for your fur babies!!”

“I worked with Tam at the SPCA. She had so many great qualities. Showed up to work on time, always volunteered for extra events, and took the best care of the animals. Her goal was to make their lives better and she did everything in her power to make it happen. At the SPCA we qualify dogs in multiple levels from low to high risk. Almost no one in the building would assist high risk animals but Tamara did. Somehow she managed to find the good in them. One moment we had dogs who couldn't leave their cage because of their threat, next she was walking them and I've never seen a happier dog. It was baffling but very impressive. She is one of those "dog whisperers" you hear about. She knows what to do, how to do it and when to do it.”

“Laura took great care of Lulu, sent updates throughout the day, and provided us with the cutest dog report card at the end of her stay. We would 100% choose Laura to watch Lulu any day.”

“Tina was so wonderful! I was a bit nervous going in as this was the first time I was leaving my 8 month old puppy with someone that I did not know. We set up a meet and greet during which my pup, Maizy displayed some anxiety, but Tina was not deterred. She knew Maizy needed to warm up at her pace and she got some treats right away to help build up some trust! She sent pictures and really helped me feel at ease that Maizy was well cared for! There was even a storm that rolled by which Maizy is terrified of thunder and Tina helped her feel safe! I would definitely book with her again should we need it!”

“Been was reassuring, relaxed and very positive on Roy Kent's first visit there for day care. I felt comfortable leaving him and RK had an outstanding day. We will be back to Ben and Sequioa's for sure!”

“Happy pup and wonderful people! Thank you so much. Do not hesitate to book with Nora and Aaron. They will take exceptional care of your fur baby :)”

About: I can't promise your pet(s) won't be spoiled! One level home with a playmate, our 17 yr old Dora, a 15 year old, sweet old aussie shepherd. I am retired and dogs are my passion. I am located in the George's Tavern area of Goochland. I am usually home daily. My schedule is flexible. We have a very large fenced yard. Your dog(s) will have room to explore inside and out. We can discuss any special needs. I have experience with all shapes, sizes and breeds, however, as much as I love them, I cannot handle bigger and stronger breeds; i.e., American bull dogs, pit bulls, great danes and German shepherds to name a few. Your dogs are my daily priority. I can schedule any time daily and I am open to a long-term boarding commitment when I am available. I have an additional smaller fenced area for smaller dogs and puppies. I have customers that found me through other avenues, and have outstanding reviews as I appear to have become Grandma to them. All will provide references. I give lots of time and attention to all dogs giving special loving attention to the aging beauties. They all need lots of love and often need special care.

“Ashley and her family were the absolute best! Our boys were beat when we picked them up! That’s how I know they loved it there :)”
