“My dog Bruce had the best time with Katina! She was super responsive, reliable and we felt very comfortable with her during our meet and greet. She sent photos, videos and updates that put us at ease that Bruce was in good hands. 10/10 would use again!!”

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Such a great experience! Communication was incredible. We received several photos and updates every day. In every photo Jud looked relaxed and content. I highly recommend Mark and Daniel for boarding!”

“We LOVE Bertie and family! They take the sweetest care of Piper and make her feel like family. We never have to worry when we leave Piper because we know she will be loved on by everyone- especially their sweet kids! Bertie and family are our go-to sitters and have watched our pup more times than we can count. We can’t speak highly enough! A must use if you want your pup to get the best care!”

“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!”

“Paula was awesome! We felt very confident with our decision and our pup was very comfortable with her and returned happy. She was also very flexible with our changing schedules. Highly recommend!”

“I did a lot of homework and reviewing of boarders for my 1.5-year-old, 70 lb. Aussie/golden before landing on Robin because of her amazing reviews and years of experience. We had just had a terrible board and train situation leaving him with some pressure sores and anxiety. I am so glad I chose Robin though. She allowed me to come out a month before booking to see her facilities, get to know me and my pup, and to explain how his days would be going. Ollie looked so incredibly comfortable around her then I started calling our vacation his summer camp. She sent pictures almost daily of Ollie running around and playing with other pups. He came back to me 5 lb. lighter than before because of it (he needed it!) and I can also tell that she kept up with his training that we have been working on which I greatly appreciated. He actually looked disappointed to go home! We will of course be back and will tell everyone we know who needs a boarder! Thank you, Robin!”

“Jesse and Emily were fantastic with Kimber. Great communication with me and all the love and spoiling for Kimber. I love how they made her part of their family for the long weekend!”

“We really appreciated the care Svitlana took with our dog Lucy. She is a very nice person and very attentive to the dogs. WE would definitely like to have her take care of Lucy again. Caroline L.”

“Aly did a great job of looking after my dog Margarita. She was quick with responses to communication and sent photo updates every day as requested. She was also flexible and communicative with drop-off and pick-up times when plans had to be adjusted. Thanks again Aly for looking after Margarita so well!”


“We always trust Charissa with our dogs, especially when we have to be gone for a long time. Our dogs are always healthy and happy when we return. We wouldn't leave them with anyone else.”


“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.”

“This was our first time leaving Pepe with a sitter and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, you never really know who you’re leaving your dog with. But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Riley, for treating Pepe like your own dog, we truly appreciate it.”

“Dorothy was amazing! She is super caring and responsive, and made it really easy for me to know what my puppy was up to throughout the day. Would definitely recommend her for anyone!”

“Doris is a very caring, loving, dog sitter who encourages her charges to relax, play, and have fun! We love the fact that she sent frequent photos of our baby Sheltie! We already have made another reservation!”

“James is the best!! Our dog was so excited to stay with him a second time, and James even got him a little gift while we were gone for the holidays. He’s great with communication, and I always appreciate the photo updates. I highly recommend booking with James if you can!”
About: Hey y’all! I have taken care of pets, specifically dogs, for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Louisiana with 2 dachshunds in my family home. One of them had diabetes, so I am experienced with giving shots and oral medication. In addition to taking care of the weenie dogs, I had a pet hedgehog and chameleon in high school. I truly love animals of all kinds. I grew up walking and dog sitting for family friends and neighbors. In high school, I was an involved volunteer at my local humane society. When I was in college, I ended up rescuing a dog from that shelter. My parents took him in since I lived in a college dormitory. After I graduated college, I couldn’t wait to get my own dog! Here in Charlottesville, I have 1 dog now, Pretzel, who is a small lab mix. He is also a rescue, and is my world! I can’t wait to meet, walk, and watch your pets! I have a non-traditional work schedule that is unpredictable but also flexible. I go into work most week days, or sometimes work from home. My hours can vary, but I always make time to walk my dog Pretzel multiple times a day with trips to the dog park when I can. I am available on the weekends. In my home, Pretzel roams free. I do not kennel him, as he is potty trained. I want Pretzel to be able to roam around as he pleases. Pretzel sleeps with me every night.

“Kyle & Meagan are great! I had to book last minute while out of the country and they made me feel very at ease and comfortable about the care our pets were receiving ;) They’re very communicative, responsive, and thorough. I would 💯 recommend them and will book again.”


About: I’ve cared for cats in friends’ and family members’ homes for many years and understand that each cat has their own personality and comfort level. I’m attentive to their routines and needs — from feeding schedules and fresh water to litter box care and noticing changes in behavior or appetite. I’m very respectful of cats’ boundaries. Some enjoy attention and play, while others prefer space and quiet companionship. I’m comfortable adapting to what makes each cat feel safe and relaxed. I’m reliable with detailed instructions and committed to keeping pets comfortable in their own environment while their owners are away.
“Lauren was great taking care of Owen and Wilson, she did everything we asked her and was very quick with responses when booking. Lauren also made herself avaliable for key drop off and pick up which was very convinient.”

“Dustin and Allyison are absolutely wonderful. They truly care about your pet and make every effort to put them at ease. They give the client a lot of information and send multiple pictures of your pet during the visit.”

“Thank you, Briana! Your attention and care of my two cats was absolutely wonderful. I appreciate your thoughtful notes and photos. I didn’t stress about them at all while I was away!”

“I really appreciated Nicole's easy, accommodating style. She was happy to meet with me before the booking to let me explain my kitty's care and to set me at ease. I found her very warm and friendly. She took care of iO for 10 days, and sent me updates and pictures daily, which were so appreciated!”

“Victoria did a wonderful job caring for my two adult male cats and ~8 week old kitten for about 5 days. She was patient and has a keen attention to detail, especially with my helicopter-parent semi-neurotic novel of a instructions write-up. Overall, Victoria did an exceptional job caring for my furry children and I would seek her services again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Victoria!!! 🤗”


“This was our first time leaving our newly adopted cat and Michelle took great care of her. She provided us with detailed feedback and took the extra step of cleaning up tracked litter and fur balls to keep our cat's space clean.”


“Lissette was amazing!!! She took great care of our cats and sent us detailed updates while we were away. I know they received lots of love and attention. I gladly recommend Lissette and would use her again without hesitation!”

About: Personalized Boarding & Doggy Daycare! 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.
“They were super helpful and caring. They understand dog thinking and went out of their way to accommodate the walk we had to do because we were pulling a camper. Definitely recommend!”

“Paula is very responsible and attentive to your concerns about your pets wellbeing. Having had two really bad experiences here with my pet, I wish all sitters were like Paula. A responsible adult with good common sense looking after your pets wellbeing. On top of that she lives in a nice neighborhood with her own backyard.”
“Gillian pulled through very last minute for me and was the only person out of ten to respond to my request! I am so thankful for her, and my dog was so happy with her. I could tell she exercised him so well and she sent me so many amazing updates. With Gillian I have definitely found my new go to sitter now! Absolutely so kind and knowledgeable about dogs as well :)”


“Jessica was a great sitter for our precious pup, Bruin. Jessica’s communication with me during Bruin’s stay was great and she even sent pics of Bruin while he was in daycare to let me know Bruin was doing well. I would highly recommend Jessica to watch over your pup.”

“I am so blessed to have found Tamara and double blessed that she lives so close to me. Perry took to her right away and he loves her dog Ollie. I am so happy that my baby now has somewhere to go and have some interaction during the week. I’m excited to have a learn long-term caregiver for Perry.”

“So glad I recently found Carolyn for occasional doggie daycare support for my sometimes-anxious Doodle. She was so responsive and clearly cares deeply for dogs!”

About: Animals are a joy to me and always have been. It would be an honor if I were able to tend to them. Thank you for your time and looking at my profile! I look forward to speaking with you! I have prior experience in the veterinary field, so I believe that I have a better understanding and knowledge of the health and well being of an animal. I have had experience with multiple doctors in the preparation of animals before surgery that include: shaving the designated area of surgery, cleaning the surgical area, hooking vitals and oxygen tubes for the animal, carrying the animal to and from the surgical table to rehabilitation zones, etc. I also Interacted with the patients owner to receive information regarding their animal and was in charge of filling prescriptions and properly checking them out. I am currently working part time in the mornings so I have all day and all night to take care of your precious fur baby! I live on a private property with roughly 17 acres. The backside is fenced in however the front side is not but it is an open yard for plenty of fetch and playtime with your for babies. It is roughly 200 yards away from the main road, so no wondering into traffic around here! :)
“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!”

“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've had pets all my life. From big dogs, to tiny dogs, to stray cats having kittens under my shed. I even had a hedgehog when I was in college (the first time). I am currently enrolled at BRCC to become a Veterinarian Technician. I have worked in wildlife rehabilitation as well. In doing this I have been lucky enough to gain experience with various species of animals, wound care, rescue and release. My husband and I just welcomed our second baby in Spring 2025 and we have a toddler so this has limited my pet sitting availability. I’m currently only doing drop in visits close to home. Please reach out with any questions. I have basically no traveling plans for the summer. I do work in town as a bartender, but it’s limited to one or two nights a week. When I’m not there I’m with my sons, but I am pretty flexible! Just shoot me a text and we can always work something out. My yard is easily escapable so I will always have your doggies on a leash to keep them safe. My two tiny hounds will gladly help me keep them company and entertained when staying at my place!
“Jenny watched my Lincoln today and was AMAZING. She was so responsive and easy to work with. She asked enough questions that it was obvious she really cared that my pup was comfortable and happy. She also sent me updates and pictures throughout the day including ones of him snuggled up on the couch so I know he was cozy. We would 100% recommend her.”
“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!”

“Emily, Richard, and their son (whose name I'll omit for privacy have been amazing. They provide a fun and caring home to share with our dog and welcome him like one of their own. Plus they (all) are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! Definitely re”

About: I’m a mom of two, proud dog owner, and lifelong animal lover who understands just how important it is to know your pets are cared for like family when you’re away. With two dogs of my own, I know the joy of long walks, playtime, and snuggles—and I bring that same energy and love to every pet I care for. I balance my career in marketing with the things I enjoy most: playing pickleball, cheering on college football, hiking, and spending time outdoors in nature. I’m reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented, which means you can trust me to not only care for your pets but also look after your home with the same level of responsibility I give to my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’d love to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away. Work from home primarily so plenty of time for outdoor fun and bathroom breaks. Schedules are flexible to meet your needs so just let me know how we can help! When I’m caring for dogs in someone else’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or favorite play activities—so the dogs feel comfortable and secure. I always give them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting the home by keeping things neat, tidy, and safe. My goal is to make sure both the pets and their owners feel at ease, knowing that their dogs are happy, cared for, and loved while they’re away.

“Gwynee is a very professional, responsive, and caring, she gives Zoe the love and attention she needs while I'm at work. I highly recommend her as your furbaby care taker and will continue using her to watch Zoe.”

“I did a lot of homework and reviewing of boarders for my 1.5-year-old, 70 lb. Aussie/golden before landing on Robin because of her amazing reviews and years of experience. We had just had a terrible board and train situation leaving him with some pressure sores and anxiety. I am so glad I chose Robin though. She allowed me to come out a month before booking to see her facilities, get to know me and my pup, and to explain how his days would be going. Ollie looked so incredibly comfortable around her then I started calling our vacation his summer camp. She sent pictures almost daily of Ollie running around and playing with other pups. He came back to me 5 lb. lighter than before because of it (he needed it!) and I can also tell that she kept up with his training that we have been working on which I greatly appreciated. He actually looked disappointed to go home! We will of course be back and will tell everyone we know who needs a boarder! Thank you, Robin!”

But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again.

“Julie and her family took wonderful care of, spoiled really, our dog Waffles. We are so thankful to have found Julie. We give Julie our highest recommendation for caring for other dogs.”

“Jenny was the best dog sitter! She sent multiple photos of Maverick and updates about how he was doing. He was able to get his energy out and run around. I could tell he was happy there just from the photos she sent me! I would definitely book with Jenny again.”
