“Nathan is great with our dog. She has been there twice now, and it’s good to see on the second time she ran right in without hesitation. We will definitely continue to use him for our doggo.”


“Rebekah watched Jane while I was on a 10 day vacation. Everyday I received photo and video updates on how Jane was doing. It really helped me enjoy my trip knowing she was happy and well cared for. Rebekah is very professional and does an exceptional job!!!”



“My pups always have an amazing time! They get daily play, correction and guidance with time to relax! Many just let dogs play for hours. Charissa really knows how to manage the kids to be great fur babies! Ashton & sis Macy have spent last 7 days. Ash goes to day care at least once a week. Highly recommend, if you want the best behaved pup, to complete some specialized training with her! From overnight training to a few classes! The “mom” in me wants to just snuggle but Charissa’s tips and time spent has paid off for us! We are regulars of 3 years now and appreciate Poindexter Park so much! Thanks also to Alex for your great stories and support!”


“Kat is the only rover we use! After bad experiences with others, we can’t imagine using anyone else. I trust her wholeheartedly with Jetty and know my pup had the best time. She looks forward to going to “Zoe’s house!””


“Sadie and Louie were well cared for and I could tell they had a great day. My dogs got along well with sitters’ dogs and her home is large enough where they can find a quiet space to get away and rest. Dogs were taken on a nice walk and out to just potty as needed. Very happy with this sitter.🐾😁👍🏻”


“Cynthia is definitely the best dog sitter I have met! Her and her family are incredibly sweet. My previous sitter canceled last minute and she responded and agreed to care for my Bailey at the last minute. I’m so grateful! Not only is she prompt with response, but she sent frequent updates and pictures. She has a big back yard and took Bailey on a fun excursion! Definitely worth the drive outside of Charlottesville! Will highly recommend!”


“Heather was quick to answer messages and made the process very easy. My dog absolutely loved staying there and I will definitely be using Heather again when I need a dog sitter!”


“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! ⭐️”



“Amber is FANTASTIC! She’s incredibly professional and takes such good care of my fur baby! During Chase’s overnight visit she kept me updated on his emotional well-being (sending a pic of him smiling), how little or much he ate, and his potty breaks! Amber is the only sitter I trust with my pup! I highly recommend Amber!”


“Praveen and his wife took excellent care of my boy Doc! They treated him like their own, sent lots of photo updates so I knew he was doing well, and were easy to communicate with! They were also super flexible when I made a booking mistake and worked with me to get it straightened out ! Would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again if we have pet-sitting needs.”


“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.”


“We've booked Denise three times in the past, even before we adopted the Great Dane. She's amazing and patient with our furry babies. Her knowledge and ability to cater to their needs are impressive. When my babies come home very stinky, it's a clear sign that they had a blast during their stay. I'd choose her as our pet sitter again in a heartbeat!”


“Charity kept my senior pup Buster for two nights this past weekend. He's very dog selective, thus has to be kept by himself/away from other dogs most of the time. I was pleased to find out she took the time to assess his personality and closely supervise an introduction to one of her very laid back dogs and all went well. He came home happy and well adjusted. I've already given her name to a local friend, and will check her schedule for future boarding needs.”


“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.”


“Petey had a wonderful time and I am happy to have Jeanette look after him whenever we travel. She provided pictures of Petey during his stay and was waiting for us on her front porch. He made new puppy friends, met a little boy who loves him and now has new friends.”


“Paula was a lifesaver! We were anxious about leaving our 7mo puppy for our 9 day vacation. Paula was so responsive (tolerating my anxiety), sending photos and videos. Our boy was clearly well cared for and somehow came back a better listener! He was in constant company and I think he had a great time.”


“Alexa provided a loving environment for my two “ spirited puppies. She was prompt, professional, and really showed her devotion to the care and maintenance of my fur babies. I highly recommend Alexa to care for yours too! I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Alexa!”


“Angel was very quick to answer questions, kept me informed about how my dog was doing and seemed to really care about her task of taking care of another dog. She had one too, so I was happy my dog had a playmate. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need a sitter. My dog came home looking happy and healthy. A better outcome than from some I have tried so I am very happy and can confidently recommend Angel.”
