Dog Boarding in Charlottesville

Bertie and family are such a blessing for me! This is the second visit for Athena at Bertie’s and the next one is already booked. Can’t say enough!

Jesse, Emily and their wonderful daughters took excellent care of our elderly hound Rosie, and really made her feel part of the family! They were also kind and accommodating when our plane was delayed and we had to push up the pickup date.

Paula was great with our dog, Zoe. We had a bad experience at a kennel a little over a year ago and we have been slowly resocializing Zoe with other dogs since then. Paula knew how to supervise her with the other dogs in the house so that Zoe got prolonged exposure and play time with them. Paula was very responsive any time I contacted her. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Svitlana was an extraordinary caretaker for our Buddy! She sent photos and videos of him for us to see how happy he was and always responded promptly to our messages. I can’t say enough good things about her. I will definitely book with Svitlana in the future anytime we need to board our dog.

She was able to separate Toto from her other dogs when it was apparent that they were not going to get along very well. I am very appreciative that she did that. I am glad Toto did not have to be in an anxious setting.

Hillary was super accommodating about changes to my booking due to my work schedule. She was prompt, thoughtful and courteous in all responses to my questions and requests and took good care of Nico.

We have no worries about our nervous little dog when Rebecca is taking care of him! He has a blast with her dogs. We're happy that he's happy when we're away.

Brooke did an amazing job with Unagi! Good at updating, took him on lots of walks and was so flexible with us in terms of timing for pickup when we had an unexpected hiccup traveling home.

Aly was fantastic from the very start of our communication to after we picked up our Oreo from her care. She was very responsive to any correspondence, offered a visit to her home ahead of our departure to make sure Oreo was comfortable and that the relationship would be a good fit for all and exceeded all of our expectations for his care. She promised consistent communication and daily photos, which she did throughout his 7 day stay with Aly and her family. Her home and her arrangement was perfect for us and we feel we have found a friend and a loving caretaker to give us peace of mind that our Oreo is safe and sound in our absence. She quickly welcomed him into her family and gave him a home away from home. All of our requests and expectations were met and she exceeded a 5-star rating! Thank you Aly and family!!!

Julie was wonderful with our Maple! Julie sent photos of Maple throughout our vacation and let us know how she was doing. She accommodated us as weather was bad & needed to drop off earlier. We greatly appreciated her & her family for taking great care of our girl!!

Very attentive care for my dog. This was my first time leaving my dog for a long period of time and he had separation anxiety. Cynthia picked up some medication from the vet for me and gave him lots of exercise. Highly recommend.

This was my first time using a pet sitter, so I was a little nervous — but Ava completely put me at ease! From the start, she was so friendly, excited, and genuinely caring toward my furry baby. Her communication was amazing — she always responded quickly and sent daily photos and updates, which made me feel so comfortable. Ava is reliable, flexible, and super accommodating, and you can really tell she loves what she does. My pup was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — I’ll definitely be booking Ava again!!

I was extremely nervous to leave my dog for the first time. Jani & Paul made me feel comfortable and sent lots of pictures. I would give 6 stars if I could. Amazing stay and my dog loved them. Will book again in the future.

Mark and Daniel were INCREDIBLE! They took excellent care of our dog and communicated daily with sweet updates. They went above and beyond when our travel plans were impacted by weather and stayed flexible and communicative throughout. And pick up and drop off weee east and smooth. We will definitely be booking with them for future dog sitting needs!

Took great care of my dog, I really appreciated the daily updates. My dog seems happy and tired in a good way! Will definitely reach out again to have my dog boarded with Alexandra.

Nana is fabulous! He was so gentle and kind to Louie who is an old slow dog. Excellent communication.

This morning, I picked up my floof, Miss Delta. She was skeptical about coming home with me because she loved her time with Nadia so much. All day long, my dog kept giving me the side eye and saying things like: “Nadia would have let me stay outside longer.” And “Nadia would let me play in my own personal doggy pool.” And finally “Is that all the cheese I get? Nadia would give me more.” At that point I told Miss Delta if she loved Nadia so much she could go live there. My dog asked me if I was driving or if she had to walk. So, that backfired. In the end I had to promise Delta she could stay with Nadia every time we left town and she seems satisfied…for now. She did ask me to start planning another trip. Miss Delta absolutely loved her stay and so did I. I received plenty of updates and pictures. She was also so patient with Delta that first day when she was struggling to be away from home for the first time. I highly recommend Nadia (and so does my floof.)
