“Bertie and the family are absolutely AMAZING!! They were able to accommodate my last minute request. I was continuously sent pictures and updates which I really appreciated. They were very gentle and understanding as Fluff is shy and gets anxious. I would 100% recommend Bertie and I would leave Fluff again with them.”

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!”
