“I recently had the pleasure of using Rover for the first time, and I couldn't have been more fortunate to find such an outstanding dog sitter. From the moment I connected with him, it was evident that he was not only experienced but genuinely passionate about dogs. The process of leaving my beloved Nala in someone else's care was initially nerve-wracking, but Zach quickly alleviated any concerns. He established a comfortable atmosphere, providing me with regular updates and reassurance that Nala was safe and enjoying her stay under his supervision. She made herself right at home and got to spend lots of time with other pups. Thank you Zach for taking care of Nala with such dedication and expertise. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”


“Ozzie loved hanging out with Katina for the day. Her extended fence area is great and she's busy working on her garage for dogs to play in on rainy days. Thank you Katrina”


“Ollie had the best time playing with all the other pups. I always feel confident that he is in the best hands while we are away. His happy goofy face in the pictures and him needing a 3 day nap afterwards cements that he had a great time. Thank you again! See you next time!”


“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.”


“They were excellent in taking care of my dog. They took her on walks and sent photos throughout the day so I could see how she was doing. They are reliable sitters and I look to utilize their services again.”


“Nothing short of AMAZING!! Very accommodating and always takes great care of our sweet girl and provides updates throughout the day. We couldn’t be happier with services we received.”


“Heather is super responsive and takes your pet’s needs seriously. My pup is sweet but has some anxiety issues—Heather thoughtfully supported all of his needs while providing lots of pictures and updates to ease my mind while he was under her care. Highly recommended… will definitely be booking again!”



“I had a great experience with Debbie and Pete. This was my first time using Dog Vacay. Debbie and Pete have a great place. Their house and yard are both clean and perfectly set-up to care for their five small show dogs. They have a large fenced in yard (between half an acre and an acre). This allows the dogs to run around and play. The yard has a small kids pool for the dogs to get wet and have a good time. The dogs are also allowed inside. Debbie and Pete sent me a text with my dog sleeping on their couch. They also went out of their way to drop my dog in Charlottesville on their way to work to save me time on my return trip. Very sweet couple and I would highly recommend using them if you are going to be in the Charlottesville area.”



“As a first-time Rover experience with bringing my pup to someone's home, I appreciate Meagan's kindness with my nervous momma energy. She sent me lots of photos, videos, and updates of my fur baby while he was in her care. He was very well cared for, and treated like one of their family. I would recommend Kyle and Meagan, 100%!”


“Nadia was absolutely fantastic. We received daily updates on how our dog was doing and knew that she was very well taken care of. Nadia ensures that the dogs under her care get plenty of exercise/outside time and receive oodles of affection. I would highly recommend her!”


“Bree was so awesome with Rocky. She sent plenty of pictures and was very responsive during the weekend. Really grateful we were able to find someone so last minute to watch him.”


“Svitlana was wonderful with our dog Ruby. We look forward to having Ruby spend more time with her in the future. I would strongly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”


“Kaitlyn is friendly and super accommodating to make sure your dog has a wonderful experience and time while you’re away! She made sure my dog was at home and part of her family. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Definitely will want to utilize her again.”


“Paula took excellent care of Luna, and I've never seen Luna take to someone so quickly as she did Paula! Normally when we get back from leaving her, she can't wait to jump in the back of our vehicle to head home-not the case this time! In fact, she acted like she wanted to stay with Paula! Good job, and thank you Paula!”


“We are so happy to have found Lindy. She took excellent care of our dog Rex while we were away! We got pictures of of him playing, walking, and lounging every day, AND he ate all his food which he usually doesn’t do when boarded. We highly recommend Lindy and will definitely use her again when we are away.”


“Micki and Skye enjoyed the weekend with Tamara and her family. They even gave Skye a little birthday party for her second birthday. We know the pups enjoyed their stay because they slept the entire day after we picked the up. It was a pleasant experience for all of us. We would trust them with our pups again.”



“We have boarded our German Shepherd several times with Charissa. We have complete confidence in her. We rest easy knowing our dog is in good hands and will be taken care of while we are gone. We highly recommend Charissa and would not board our dog with anyone else.”
