“Having to leave your dog is tough but when you leave them with a family like this one, your mind is instantly put at ease! They loved on our girl like she was family and sent us picture updates every day!!! We will 100% book with them again!”
“Riley is simply the best dog sitter you can search for. She is conscientious, organized, responsive, and she loves dogs. Her way with dogs is special; she paid attention to our dog for the week we booked, and the entire time we were away, we were at ease knowing our dog was cared for like family. It is without reservation that we give the highest rating for Riley - again, simply the best!”
“Svitlana really knows dogs. She walked my dog and sent pics and got to know her quirks quickly. Svitlana also continued with the same house rules we use at home. I will definitely have Pi stay with her again!”
“Hillary provided updates including photos and videos of my pup Daisy at a cadence that kept me worry free but was not excessive. Daisy came home happy and looked well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Aly was fantastic! My 11-year-old cockapoo Mittens was comfortable with her from the very beginning. She wagged her tail and made herself right at home. Aly kept up informed with adorable pictures, and we would be happy to board Mittens with her again. I'm sure Mittens would love it too!”
“We were so happy to leave our boy, Denver, with Jesse and Emily. Denver is almost 14 and so giving him the love and attention he’d get as the only dog in the home was really important to us, and not having to worry about him getting stressed out by younger dogs who constantly wanted to play for 6 days. We couldn’t have been happier. Denver was right at home, getting walks that he loves as well as plenty of chill time and attention from Jesse and Emily as well as their two girls. Jesse and Emily were great about sending us photo updates that let us know that Denver was comfy and happy. Denver is a finicky eater especially when not at home and they were great about paying attention and giving some treats here and there to get his appetite going. We would definitely leave Denver with them again!”
“Ellie had another awesome stay last week. I am so glad to be able to leave my little houndy girl with Katina, who treats her like part of her own family. Thanks! Highly recommended without reservations of any kind. Brian”
“Jenny was so helpful: she took great care of Connan and sent plenty of pics. He got to run around on her farm and play with her pups. I think he had a great time. He’s wiped!”
“Jani and Paul took wonderful care of our pups. They were very attentive to their routines and needs — and sent lots of great pictures every day. We will use them again in a heartbeat! Thank you!!”
“Heather did an amazing job with my rescue girl. I was a nervous wreck leaving her but had to travel for work. My girl settled right in and I got the cutest updates. Heather knows how to deal with my quirky dork of a pup. She was patient with her and made her feel like she was home. My girl is tired and happy. I will definitely use Heather in the future for my boarding needs.”
“Hope did a wonderful job taking care of Bella. She has a nice fenced backyard and sent me photo updates of Bella during the week. I felt confident that Bella was in good hands and I would leave her again with Hope.”
“Our doodle had a great visit with Christine and Charles. We received regular updates and pictures on how everything was going. Their location & setup provides everything a pet needs. Looking forward to using their services in the future.”
“We could not be happier with Heather’s care for our dog Bailey. We were nervous to leave him with a stranger because in his 5 years of life, he has only stayed with family. Heather was so kind to let us do a meet and greet a few days beforehand and I could tell immediately that Bailey would be happy. We were away for 8 days and I so appreciated the photos and communication she provided daily. We could tell her entire family gave him attention and he apparently made some good dog friends. We hope Bailey is welcome back because Heather will be the first person I call! Highly recommend”
“Ashley watched my Lexie, 5 and a half year old black lab, for 6 days. She provided me daily updates and photos of Lexi's activities to keep me informed that she was doing well. I highly recommend Ashley as a resource to care for your dog as well.”
“Wonderful experience ! Heather and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. They were flexible and extended the stay for our dogs when we needed to stay an extra day. The dogs were very happy and enjoyed playing with her little girls. I will definitely request Heather when we board our pups.”
“Caroline took great care of our boy while we were on a long vacation! We got tons of updates and pictures and our dog seemed happy and tired when we got back.”

“Sarah was amazing with my elderly, anti-social cat. I recently moved to a new home and the fisrt move ever for my cat, and I had to be away for most of the month of December. I was so happy not only to have a very reliable person like Sarah to check in on my cat, but she actually managed to interact with her instead of just figuring out where she was hiding. Sarah really put my mind to rest during a crazy busy time. I will definitely call on her again!”
“Katie has sat for us twice now and is always very conscientious, thoughtful, and thorough. She’s great at staying in touch and it’s so nice to know my babies are in such good hands.”
“Carolyn's drop-in visit to care for our cat Snow was fantastic! She was attentive, warm, and clearly experienced with pets, which put us at ease immediately. Snow, who can be shy around new people, seemed comfortable and well cared for under Carolyn's watch. She kept us updated with photos and notes about Snow’s mood and activities, which we greatly appreciated. It’s evident she takes her responsibilities seriously and genuinely loves animals. We’d happily trust Carolyn with Snow again in the future!”
“My usual sitter fell sick shortly before I had to go out of town and Ed was very responsive and able to come on short notice. Took great care of Digby and sent regular updates. Would not hesitate to book again.”
“Our cats immediately took to Basil, who clearly adores animals and took fantastic care of our pets while we were out of town. They were communicative & also provided photos after every visit. Will happily rebook!”
“Alia has been phenomenal with our dog Tripper. She is reliable, on time, and effective communicator, and best of all, she loves our dog and takes him on great walks! We couldn’t be happier and without hesitation will book her in the future.”
“Kelsie is awesome and helped me troubleshoot an issue with a live chipmunk running around my house! 😬 She is very communicative and stays cool under pressure.”
“Mitch was great with our cats. He provided timely feedback about their antics and was able to be flexi with schedules. they were very happy when we came home.”
“Emil is so helpful when I had to leave Rio for a business trip. He nicely accommodates Rio’s need and Rio is very comfortable under his care. I would not be hesitate to ask help from Emil again for my next business trip.”
“Karlee was awesome! She left the most detailed notes and photos that I've ever seen from a sitter, and she was incredibly personable and warm. Definitely glad we found her to care for our kitties and wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”
“Danielle managed a medication change on our older cat without a hitch. She even got his notoriously shy brother to make an appearance. Her patience is really paying off. Another wonderful experience with Danielle!”
“Shaylee has watched Pippin twice now and is basically her bestie! I love receiving all the photos, and Shaylee even helped a bit extra with taking my trash out and making sure things stayed clean. She’s really the best!”
“Caroline was a great sitter! She took great care of our dog while we were at our wedding. She gave us peace of mind about our pup when we had a million other things going on! We would certainly use her services again.”
“Lisette took excellent care of our dog and cat. She kept us informed about both animals. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her care. We hope to further use her services in the future. Judy Freeman”
“Abigail is an excellent pet sitter and I strongly recommend her. I felt very comfortable with Abigail coming into my home to care for my cat. She is a kind hearted and caring person who genuinely loves pets!”
“Maddie was great with our kitties. They have very distinct personalities. She was able to read their needs and give each the personalized care they prefer. Our male cat can be a menace to our sitters but he warmed up to Maddie and let her give him pets and love!”
About: I've been taking care of the cats of family and friends for years. I have no issue cleaning litter boxes, having dedicated playtime, and giving many skritches. Cats and I have an understanding that is rooted in their nobility and a deep seated desire for whimsy.

“Svitlana was wonderful! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day and even a video. She has a nice fenced in backyard and her pup was the perfect playmate for my dog. I can’t wait to book with her again!”
“what is a very awesome Rover mommy I’m very funny where I leave my puppy and she took care of her better than if she was her own puppy she even trimmed her nails for me. I definitely will be returning to Paula again many times she is more than a five star sitter thank you so much, Paul”
“Im so glad I found Bertie and Lisette! They were gracious enough to accommodate my last-minute request and they are clearly pros at this. They were cognizant of keeping paws off the sidewalk in this heat and asked all the important questions. I’m always worried my pup will be sad the whole time I’m gone but her pups and their attentive care kept him smiling. I was so grateful to receive photos and videos while away too. Overall a great experience and I will definitely be back.”
About: Hi! I’m Ashley! 🐾 I’m a small-business owner, but I only work two days a week during normal business hours. The rest of the week, I’m a stay-at-home mom to my toddler, so I’m home most of the time and able to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and love! I offer both dog boarding and daycare, and I only take ONE client dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog individualized attention rather than having a house full of unfamiliar dogs. Our home is very pet-friendly. We have: •One 6-year-old pit mix who is part of our family •Three indoor/outdoor cats who are comfortable around dogs •A toddler, so dogs must be comfortable and safe around small children •A fully fenced yard with a doggy door I’m happy to accept dogs of all ages and sizes, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs who need medications or additional attention. Our sweet 15-year-old beagle, Cletis, who you may see in my profile picture, recently passed away, so I’m very familiar with the extra care that comes with senior dogs, including medications and keeping up with their individual routines. I also have plenty of experience with hounds and their famously adventurous, escape-artist personalities! The one important requirement is that your dog must be comfortable being crated. On the two days I work, your dog may be crated for up to 8 hours while I’m away. The rest of the week, I’m home with my toddler and your pup will have lots of companionship and attention.

I’m happy to provide a crate if needed. Dogs must also be cat-friendly or able to peacefully ignore cats without chasing or fixating on them.

“Jani and Paul are amazing sitters for my dog, Lucky! 🐾 I always pick him up from their home and he’s happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. They’re so reliable and thorough and always fill out his report card right away, so I know exactly how his stay went. I really appreciate the care and attention they give him. Highly recommend!”

I’ve also worked in shelters and rescue centers to helped troubled dogs and cats. I have experience handling about every personality type of animal and sizes + quantities. Every animal I meet, I treat with the same love and care as my own fur babies. I cant wait to take care of your beloved furry friends!!

Im by the book so you tell me how you want things done and it’ll be exactly that way.
“Awesome dog sitter! I was in Charlottesville for an interview, and needed a sitter pretty last minute. Caroline was super responsive, sent me so many cute updates, pictures and videos during the day. Raina had so much fun playing with the other dogs, and I would 100% rebook if I’m in the area in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I work remote so I can always be available for your little buddy! I’m a medical student, so I will have to be gone a few hours in the morning, but after that I can cater to any of your animals needs. I get up around 7 AM and head to get around 11:30. I always take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs and get some sun. Whatever you need, I’ll make sure your pet is well loved and appreciated! My house is always very clean and very spacious. I also live right next to a park and go for walks by myself regularly. Whenever I watch my friends animals, I bring my own food and activities and leave the place better than I found it.

I care for pets by ensuring that they are always given food and water, going outside frequently, and having someone to play with hem and pet them.
“We were visiting the area and needed a sitter in a pinch. Cory responded within minutes and was ready to take Juno in that same day. His house sits in a wonderful wooded area and is perfect for dog walking. He took Juno in, introduced her to his dog and cats, sent pictures, took her for a walk. It was clear he has experience and he and his family genuinely love to take care of dogs! Juno was happy and calm when we picked her up. We were very lucky that we found Cory and definitely highly recommend him!”
About: Please note we are in Troy near Zions Crossroads (about 20 minutes from downtown Charlottesville and 15 minutes from Lake Monticello). Hi, my name is Katina. I have been caring for dogs as long as I can remember. My earliest memories include setting up agility courses for my german shepherd in my backyard. To say I have a passion for dogs is an understatement. I recently quit my job to pursue dog boarding full time and I could not be more excited to spend all day with your pup(s)! We spend lots of time on play, exercise and enrichment. Our yard is set up similar to a dog park meaning we have two separate fenced areas for dogs comfort. We have one small fenced area (4ft fence) to accommodate small, elderly, timid and handicapped pups as well as a large dog park sized fenced area to accommodate more playful mid sized pups (6ft fence). We also have a whole home generator for added peace of mind. When the weather is nice we like to spend a lot of time outdoors Health and safety is our top priority. We have a zero tolerance policy for aggression. If your dog shows signs of aggression during their stay they will be quarantined for the remainder of the stay and not accepted back. In order to board with us your dog must be friendly with EVERYONE this includes children (even though none are present in the home, they do come and visit), the elderly, cats and other dogs. Please provide proof of rabies vaccination (I need a copy of the in date certificate that is signed by your veterinarian). Please ensure your dog(s) are free from fleas ticks and intestinal parasites. Our storage space is limited so please only bring food (put food in ziplock bag and write pets name on the bag) , medications/supplements, and a leash. We will provide toys, treats, bowls (we have a variety of sizes both regular and slow feeder), crates if your dog needs one and plush bedding. Please ALWAYS pack extra food.

Please keep pickup/drop off timeframes to a 30 minute window.

“Charissa and Alex were amazing at the meet and greet, answering any questions we had and were able to calm any fears we hades well. Communication is great! The dogs obviously had a great time and were comfortable enough to cuddle! They even ate their food which is rare for them when they are away. I would 100% recommend and will be using Charissa and Alex in the future.”
About: Your dog will be treated like part of the family while you're away. I intentionally keep my numbers low so every guest receives plenty of individualized attention and supervision. I'm a homeschool mom, homemaker, and lifelong dog lover. My husband, two daughters, and three dogs make our home a fun, safe, and loving environment where someone is home most of the day. 🐾 Meet & Greets Required I require a free meet-and-greet before accepting new clients to ensure we're a great fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! As a homemaker, I'm present for the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout your dog's stay. Every dog adjusts differently, and I have the ability to tailor my routine accordingly. Your dog's comfort and safety are central to how I care for every guest. I closely supervise interactions between guest and resident dogs, and I take time to understand each dog's temperament and needs before allowing unsupervised play. Meals are served separately to maintain a calm environment and avoid food-related tension. I'm happy to follow your dog's established feeding schedule, medication routine, or any additional care instructions you provide. At bedtime, I do my best to replicate your dog's normal setup, whether that's a crate, a dog bed, or another familiar arrangement, so they feel settled and secure throughout their stay.

“Julia is an exceptional dog walker. Her care of our dog is outstanding, from the length of the walks to her following what we have asked of her. And she not only understands her role, but proactively found a replacement for future times she will be unable to walk him. We could not be happier with Julia!”
“Emil is a great dog walker for our needs. We rely on him daily, and never disappoints or doesn't show up. He is a great communicator and is upfront on what he can do. We will continue to book Emil in the future.”
“Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.”
“Fantastic! I could not imagine a better experience. Dependable, considerate, thorough. Tons of pictures and updates and my dog became genuinely fond of Lissette. The best dog walker of all time.”

Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away!
“Jordana was amazing! We have a 6 month old puppy and she took amazing care of her and went out of her way to help us feel confident leaving our puppy home. She is extremely accommodating and you can tell she adores animals. We will definitely be reaching out to her again when we have pet care needs!”
“Abigail was great. Arrived on time, braved the unexpected windy conditions, picked up the bountiful ‘gift bags’ and my dog seemed to enjoy the walk! Will be booking again.”
“Shaylee was amazing with my dog! And my cat too, honestly. She always showed up to take Kimahri for his walks and made sure to be mindful if he was having one of his days where he needed to walk slower or less (hes an old man). Very communicative and reliable, I'd 100% book her again!”
“I had a last minute emergency need for a dog walker for a pup that can be afraid of walking near cars, and had never met Caroline before. Unfortunately, I could not arrange for a meetup beforehand. Caroline was accommodating and understanding when Poppy did not want to walk on the second day, so instead she played with her in our yard. Thank you Caroline for filling this massive need for us and removing a big anxiety for us!”

I also have a very tolerant cat who actually enjoys dogs staying with me because she’s learned that visiting dogs often get a treat she’s earned one too. My house has hardwood floors on the first floor throughout access to the carpeted lower level is through a door.

“Riley is simply the best dog sitter you can search for. She is conscientious, organized, responsive, and she loves dogs. Her way with dogs is special; she paid attention to our dog for the week we booked, and the entire time we were away, we were at ease knowing our dog was cared for like family. It is without reservation that we give the highest rating for Riley - again, simply the best!”
“Hillary provided updates including photos and videos of my pup Daisy at a cadence that kept me worry free but was not excessive. Daisy came home happy and looked well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Aly was fantastic! My 11-year-old cockapoo Mittens was comfortable with her from the very beginning. She wagged her tail and made herself right at home. Aly kept up informed with adorable pictures, and we would be happy to board Mittens with her again. I'm sure Mittens would love it too!”
“We were so happy to leave our boy, Denver, with Jesse and Emily. Denver is almost 14 and so giving him the love and attention he’d get as the only dog in the home was really important to us, and not having to worry about him getting stressed out by younger dogs who constantly wanted to play for 6 days. We couldn’t have been happier. Denver was right at home, getting walks that he loves as well as plenty of chill time and attention from Jesse and Emily as well as their two girls. Jesse and Emily were great about sending us photo updates that let us know that Denver was comfy and happy. Denver is a finicky eater especially when not at home and they were great about paying attention and giving some treats here and there to get his appetite going. We would definitely leave Denver with them again!”
“Jenny was so helpful: she took great care of Connan and sent plenty of pics. He got to run around on her farm and play with her pups. I think he had a great time. He’s wiped!”
“Heather did an amazing job with my rescue girl. I was a nervous wreck leaving her but had to travel for work. My girl settled right in and I got the cutest updates. Heather knows how to deal with my quirky dork of a pup. She was patient with her and made her feel like she was home. My girl is tired and happy. I will definitely use Heather in the future for my boarding needs.”
“Our doodle had a great visit with Christine and Charles. We received regular updates and pictures on how everything was going. Their location & setup provides everything a pet needs. Looking forward to using their services in the future.”
“We could not be happier with Heather’s care for our dog Bailey. We were nervous to leave him with a stranger because in his 5 years of life, he has only stayed with family. Heather was so kind to let us do a meet and greet a few days beforehand and I could tell immediately that Bailey would be happy. We were away for 8 days and I so appreciated the photos and communication she provided daily. We could tell her entire family gave him attention and he apparently made some good dog friends. We hope Bailey is welcome back because Heather will be the first person I call! Highly recommend”
“Ashley watched my Lexie, 5 and a half year old black lab, for 6 days. She provided me daily updates and photos of Lexi's activities to keep me informed that she was doing well. I highly recommend Ashley as a resource to care for your dog as well.”
“Wonderful experience ! Heather and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. They were flexible and extended the stay for our dogs when we needed to stay an extra day. The dogs were very happy and enjoyed playing with her little girls. I will definitely request Heather when we board our pups.”
“Caroline took great care of our boy while we were on a long vacation! We got tons of updates and pictures and our dog seemed happy and tired when we got back.”
“Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!”
“Amanda was great! She was communicative and sent us adorable photos of our boy throughout his stay. Our boy was treated like family and became best friends with her dog. I truly appreciate how much love he received while we were away!”
“Julie and her family did a wonderful job looking after my dog Margarita while I was away for a week. They gave her a lot of attention and love and Margarita loved staying with them. I highly recommend Julie to other dog parents!”
“Yana is amazing! She took such great care of my dog and sent daily pictures and updates which gave me peace of mind that he was happy and healthy while I was away. Highly recommend her!”
“We have boarded our dog with Michael and Pam several times now! I’m writing another review because they kept our pup for a longer period of time - 2 weeks while we were on vacation. We would have trusted very few people for this duration of time, and we knew our dog was extremely well taken care of!”
“Moose had the best stay with Brianne and we feel lucky to have someone as wonderful as her watching him while we were away. She was attentive and wanted to know any specifics for how to best take care of him. We also loved the daily text updates. Will most definitely try to book with her in the future!”
