“Lissette and Bernie and their family were AMAZING! I was nervous dropping off my dog with a new sitter and he gets nervous around other dogs but they took SUCH good care of him and sent tons of updates and gave him the love and space that he needed to the point where I never once worried about him. When I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave and was sad he was leaving his new friends! I will 100% use this team again for my dog sitting needs!”

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!”

“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!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Let me know what you're looking for and we can discuss schedule time and routing. I can do my best to fit my schedule into your fur baby schedule. I have two fence in yard to provide safety for those who doesn't get along with others. I also have two dogs of my own which probably won't be alot of fun. My beagle is usually sleeping in the house all day as for the husky she usually laying in the back yard squirrel hurting. I can create your fur baby at night or provide a dog bed. I do allowed fur babies to sleep in the bed only with fur parents permission. My fur babies are not snugglers so they choose to sleep on their dog beds.

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.

About: I am definitely the biggest animal lover you will get to know! For years i’ve cared for and trained a wide range of animals wild and domestic. 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!! I have plenty of time to dedicate to all the lovely animals i work with! Im a full time student in college but only enrolled in online classes so I have a very flexible schedule. I have 3 dogs of my own who I spend most my days with but I have also been fostering many dogs up until now. I can work with crate dogs, big, small, basically anything I am ready to take on. 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 started my journey with dogs 4 years ago and have not looked back enjoying every moment since. I am a certified trainer who loves improving the relationship between human and dog. We have a dog yard plus 5 acres. All dogs stay in our extra bedroom, which is now considered the dog room. I personally have two dogs, a cattle dog and a husky mix. They are both very social with all other dogs. We like to have a good time here but I keep a very safe environment for the dogs, no fighting or picking on one another. NO DOG IS TURNED AWAY. If you think your dog is aggressive, I can and will evaluate them so that if possible, we will get them socializing with their own kind and having a great time. Thanks, have a good day! I train dogs for a living so I stay at my house 7 days a week besides when I work with clients and those lessons tend to run about an hour but no more than 2 hours! I have 9 years experience running my own kennel and have two dogs with a large fence so there will be no boredom here! I do prefer to kennel dogs for the night but as we get comfortable with each other they will start to earn more freedom! Pet care is my full time job and i wouldn’t have it any other way, it has been a blessing. I hope I can help make your schedule less stressful! While you’re away, let your dogs play! I have a five foot fenced in dog yard specifically for dogs. We also have another 5 acres that we will walk all client dogs on during their stay with us.-

“Will and Vannessa have been great. My corgi Milo is always excited when we pull up to their house. It is not easy to tire Milo out since he has a ton of puppy energy, but he always comes home happy and tired after playing with the hosts and their dogs all day.”

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. For everyone’s safety and comfort, dogs staying with us need to: • Be comfortable around small children • Be comfortable around cats • Be able to safely stay in a crate for up to 8 hours when necessary • Be comfortable in a home with another dog • Be house-trained or actively working on it I want your dog to feel like they’re staying in a home, not a kennel. I’ll treat your pup like one of our own, keep you updated with pictures and messages, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and time outside. Before the first stay, I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet so we can make sure my home and family are a good fit for your dog! Being a stay at home mom makes my days very open and flexible. I am currently working on building a house cleaning business that I work at two days a week. I’m a small-business owner, but I only work two days a week during normal business hours.

About: I have experience with all dogs and grew up working on a farm, caring for an array of livestock to include chickens, goats/sheep, alpacas/llamas, and two sheepdogs. I am willing to feed & care for any other farm animals or exotic pets if requested. I came from a big cat loving family, and would love to come love on yours. I am a stay at home mom which affords me the ability to be pretty flexible with times of days and last minute bookings. If I’m a not available for some dates, please reach out to me to discuss. Boarding and Doggy Day Care requests are reviewed on a case by case basis. We live on 7 acres, no fence, with chickens and a German shepherd.

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter willing to care for your pets when you’re unable to. Mature and patient, I am an adult who is reliable and provides attention to detail when caring for your pet. I have lived in Gordonsville for 40+ years and had cats and dogs throughout this time. Prior to providing boarding or pet/house sitting service, I will meet with you and your pet to understand your needs and ensure a good fit for all. For day and overnight care, I will provide meticulous notes and/or text messages about feeding, potty breaks, etc. I have experience administering medicine as well as pet/house sitting for multiple pets (up to 20) at the same time. An additional $5 will be added for each drop in visit and walking service, if more than 10 miles from my home. I work from home and have a family of four so someone is almost always home. I try to keep the same routine for your pet as they experience at home. I will take care of your four legged family members like they are my own and provide ongoing text updates and photos throughout their stay.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Let me know what you're looking for and we can discuss schedule time and routing. I can do my best to fit my schedule into your fur baby schedule. I have two fence in yard to provide safety for those who doesn't get along with others. I also have two dogs of my own which probably won't be alot of fun. My beagle is usually sleeping in the house all day as for the husky she usually laying in the back yard squirrel hurting. I can create your fur baby at night or provide a dog bed. I do allowed fur babies to sleep in the bed only with fur parents permission. My fur babies are not snugglers so they choose to sleep on their dog beds.

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!”

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!

“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!”

“Our dog Lincoln loved staying at Christine’s place! She took such good care of him, and he came home very happy! We enjoyed our vacation without having to worry about our dogs comfort of safety. Thank you Christine!”

“This is the 3rd time we’ve used Heather and Nigel’s dog boarding services. We had a family emergency this time so had to book on a pretty short notice. We were very relieved when they were able to take her, since our dog always has a fantastic time with them. We would fully recommend them!”

“I think one of the best signs of a great sitter is a tired pup!! Addie had the best time with Michelle. From the very beginning, they were kind, caring, and treated our pet like their own. I received regular updates and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our fur baby was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!”

“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.”

“Tyler is the best! Tyler has sat my dog many times, and he is responsive and loves my pup! He gives my dog lots of exercise and love! This last time Tyler took care of my dog, it was right after my dog had emergency surgery. Tyler gave him his medication and made sure he was not exercising or doing stairs. I cannot say enough good things about Tyler!”
