Dog Sitters in East Ocean View, VA

The team at Top Dog really cares about your pups (they took very good care of mine, even when 1 was sick and needed emergency care when I was out of town). They are easy to communicate with and reliable and just wonderful people. I highly recommend Top Dog for walking and sitting. I have small dogs but Amy owns big dogs, so is comfortable with all types

Highly recommend Top Dog Walk! Amy and her team are great! They are trustworthy and reliable, they took good care of my 2 big dogs while we had getaways and helped us with walking Ace who needs lots of exercise. Wish we could still use them in Virginia Beach but understand why the commute is not feasible. If you need a petsitter/dogwalker in Norfolk they are definitely a great company to hire

I've utilized Top Dog Walk for over seven years. First class operation-trustworthy, always on time and the walkers genuinely like and care for my dog-from feeding to overnights they're the best !

My husband and I just moved to the area a couple of months ago. We reached out to Top Dog Walk prior to our move so we could have dog walking services set up quickly after our move. Amy was very responsive to our emails and set up a meet and greet right after our move. It was such a relief to know that we found a great company to take care of our dogs. It's a breeze to schedule online, and they are also great with last minute requests!

Great Service!!! Amy truly cares about each and every dog she and her walkers take care of and ensures both the owners and dogs are extremely happy. She was very responsive to our requests regarding feeding and care for our dog and responded quickly when we left messages if she was not able to pick up the phone when we called. She also really helped us when we had to go out of town last minute. Top Dog Walk is a great service I recommend to everyone.

I ended up booking with Top Dog Walk after my previous dog walking service stopped working in the Ghent area and recommended I switch to TDW. As a person who sometimes requires a last minute booking, I was apprehensive about their "two day prior" scheduling policy. However, they were always very accommodating and it was never an issue. They are a wonderful group of people who gave me much peace of mind about my unruly dogs! Plus, I love coming home to a little note about what they did that day. ❤️

I've been using Top Dog Walk for several years now whenever we're away for long weekends or vacations. They take excellent care of our large, energetic dog! The owners (Dana and Vijay) are well-organized and you can tell they really care about what they do. Prior to the first visit, they set up a meet-and-greet and send out email confirmation of your scheduled visits. They post Twitter updates and leave a "report card" at each visit, which I just love. We tried several kennels in the area before finding Top Dog Walk and our dog always seemed so sad when we dropped her off, and was stressed out afterward (she actually broke out of her cage at one place!) Needless to say, I feel so much more comfortable leaving her at home knowing that she will get long walks and lots of attention from Top Dog Walk! I highly recommend them!

I've been using Top Dog for over a year, and I can't imagine not having them around. I no longer stress about needing to rush home to let my pup out. She's always content after Top Dog has made a visit. Dealing with a tunnel to and from work I can have peace of mind, even when traffic is impossible. Their ability to be flexible, due to changing schedules makes them very convenient. A report card is left behind, in order to let you know the details of your furry child's walk. When able, they tweet a pic of the walk, which I love. Most importantly, Dana and Vijay, Top Dog owners, always make themselves available for questions/comments. All in all, its a great service-reliable, trustworthy and they leave behind a happy dog. Highly recommend!

After an initial snafu with scheduling a consultation, Dana worked diligently to regain my confidence in Top Dog Walk. My husband and I met with her to discuss our pet sitting needs over the holidays and we are incredibly glad Dana didn't give up on us as easily as we gave up on her. Her pet sitting service did an AMAZING job. Our Butkus can be a handful but, Dana and Paige were great with him. They were very patient and attentive and did a great job of sending us updates on how he was doing while we were away. We are very thankful they took the time on Christmas Day to care for our pooch and will definitely work with them in the future.

I have used Top Dog for over a year and have been thoroughly impressed with their services. Not only to I find them to be extremely professional but I am also deeply touched by their personal care when caring for my dogs. I have an elderly chocolate lab that requires some help getting up and down the stairs and other older dog aliments. Top Dog Walk has always made a point to care for my dogs just as I would and I greatly appreciate them for that.

If you’re looking for a doggy day care, stop searching, you found the one! If I could give 10 stars I would. This was my first time ever dropping off my husky Koda (5 years old) to anyone’s house other than family. I was nervous and I knew he would be to. Tamara and her husband reassured me and did everything they could to make Koda and I comfortable. She sent me real time updates and photos of what he was doing. She let me know how he was doing in the day and at night. His first night was rough being there without anyone he knows, but they kept him company and by night two he was comfortable and felt at home. When I picked him up I could tell he did not want to leave! I will for sure be bringing Koda back here in the future. Thank you Dappy Dayz Dogs!

Excellent customer service! Tammy and her family always take care of my puppy. Highly recommend. He always jumps up and down as soon as I say let's go to daycare. He runs out the car excited to see his friends. 😃 …

First time leaving my girl Dixie with someone other than family. We went on a trip with family so that wasn’t an option so I reached out to Tammy at Dappy Dayz & I couldn’t be anymore pleased! My girl had the best time ever and I enjoyed receiving pictures seeing how happy Dixie was! Definitely recommend and will use her in the future! Thanks again Tammy!

Tamara & Dappy Dayz was an absolute blessing & life savor! She was understanding of my situation & was willing to take my boy, Jax, on such short notice for a few days. I felt a peace leaving him at Dappy Dayz & would highly recommend this place for all your fur babies!

When we moved to Virginia Beach, we tried a couple of popular kennels in the area for our geriatric pup and our kitty, and we had issues at both. Then I found Tami, and I'm so grateful we did! Tami and her family take care of our pets like they're their own. Tami is great about sending photos and updates, and is so patient with our geriatric Corgi. I wouldn't feel safe leaving them with anyone else! Thank you Tami and T!

I was very nervous about sending my fur-babies to daycare especially since one is a pandemic pup and not fully social. When I dropped them off I felt so comfortable (I normally cry). Tammy explained how she would slowly introduce the other pups to mine so they won’t be overwhelmed. I’ve noticed so much improvement in my pandemic pup now that he is going to Dappy Days. Very patient and loving provider!

Tammy and Tee have been the absolute best this year. I moved here not knowing anyone and needed to quickly find somewhere I could trust to watch my dog, Hank. The first time I dropped him off he was nervous, but that was also the last time. Every time I dropped him off for a weekend he couldn’t wait to get out of the car to play, which made me feel really reassured that he was still happy and safe when I was away. Tammy and Tee were also always extremely accommodating to my schedule and flexible when I needed to change something last minute. They also sent me pictures of Hank every time I was away, which I loved and made me feel better. I am so grateful for their help and for treating Hank like their own. I wish I weren’t moving so I could keep going to them; Hank will definitely miss it there! I would undoubtedly recommend Dappy Dayz to anyone!

Tami and her family are incredibly wonderful caregivers. They make my dog feel like she is a part of their family. I loved the photo updates she sent to put my mind at ease during her first long-term stay with them (5 days). My dog also really enjoyed their doggie daycare! Tami really knows dogs and their behaviors - the dogs are watched and safe. My dog came home happy to see me, but equally comfortable in Dappy Dayz care. I feel so fortunate to have found such a great place for my dog to go for both long-term stays and daily doggie daycare.

Tammy and her family has taken such great care of my dog. I appreciate the schedule set up in place for the dogs, such as activities, nap time, lunch/dinner/snacks, and recess! The at-home environment is exceptional and has been a great place for my dog to receive care. He used to go to a kennel set up, but the setting was not an ideal place for him because there was no structure, the animals ran loose, and the staff were unprofessional and unskilled; basically setting my dog up for failure. Dappy Dogz is the total opposite! My family and I truly appreciate their dedication and attention in taking care of the pets. Thank you!! ☺️

We used Dappy Dayz on a regular for over night stays. Having a 24 hour shift, it’s hard to find someone reliable to watch your animals at a decent price. Having our paths cross a couple years ago, I was able to reach out to Tammy on a personal level to inquire of her up and coming business. Her and her family took our pup in with open arms, allowing him to socialize with other dogs, maintaining his feeding routine and sleep schedule. We actually felt guilty taking him home because he clearly was having a blast with his friends. She was flexible with our rotating schedule, accommodating for weekends and last minute day trips. We will forever sing their praises and we look forward to watching their business grow.

Great dog sitter. Our families go to whenever we leave town and can't take the pup.

Claudia is amazing! She has been so kind to work around my unpredictable work schedule for daycare and boarding when I'm out of town for work. My 1 year old corgi, Daisy, absolutely LOVES going to Claudia's and playing on her backyard toys! I always get photos and videos on how Daisy's days are going, which I love because then I know Daisy is happy and well cared for the entire time (see attached photos). Claudia has also been very helpful in improving Daisy's training and very open to implementing the techniques I use at home. Claudia is a blessing to Daisy and I! I would 100% recommend her to anyone else in the area looking for a place to board, or drop their doggies off for daycare.

Claudia is a true dog lover, kind person, and all around caring guardian of fur babies. I do not worry at all when I leave my dogs with her days or sometimes weeks. She sends me photos and frequent updates on how they’re doing. My dogs are lap dogs and love the attention from her kids. They walk right inside when I drop them off, like they’re happy to be there. Highly recommend her as a boarding option!

Claudia is amazing with our pup! When we drop her off, she doesn’t look back because she is so excited to spend time there!! Our dog has dietary restrictions and Claudia is ALWAYS able to accommodate!!! I get lots of updates but honestly I don’t have anything to worry about, my dog is in great hands!! I am so happy I came across her daycare! I will only use her for boarding our pup!

My dog loves going to Claudia’s, he wags his tail and pulls to get in her house every time! Claudia takes care of him as if he was one of her own. It’s comforting to know that my dog is in a loving home getting lots of attention, instead of sitting in a crate all day like most boarding places. Claudia also sends pictures and updates while your dog is there to put your mind even more at ease. I would never want to board my dog anywhere else!

We always take our dogs with us but feel so fortunate to have found Claudia to care for our 2 Dobermans and golden retriever. She’s beyond amazing - very experienced, conscientious, always keeping us up to date on how the dogs are doing. They just love her - get great exercise, playtime and are well taken care of. We would highly recommend her! She deserves 10++stars!!

Claudia was amazing with my two small dogs. They enjoyed being at her house. Claudia was very easy to work with for over 2 1/2 years that we lived in the area. I always knew my dogs were being well taken care of with her.

I cant recommend Claudia enough! She is incredibly flexible and you can tell that she really loves what she does. She communicates wonderfully and sends pictures while your pet is with her and I can tell that my pup had a great time during both stays. It’s a gift when you don’t have to worry about your pet while you’re gone and that is absolutely the case with Claudia!

Claudia loves, cares and engages with every dog as if they were her own. Our pup quivers with excitement when he sees Claudia’s house! We have nothing but praise for her skills and not a worry when he is with her.

Claudia is amazing & our pups love staying with her! She has a fenced-in backyard and always sends us photos of our dogs having a great time - she makes an effort to ensure they still get the love and attention away from home. Claudia is always very reliable & makes us feel at ease when we go out of town and can’t take our pups with us. I wouldn’t know what to do without her!

We've been using Claudia for boarding our two dogs for years - because she is the best. Her prices are great and she takes care of the pups like they're her own!

This was my first experience dropping my dog off to ruff house (va beach) for Labor Day weekend because we were going out of town. I picked this facility based on the great reviews. I didn’t tour the facility with my husband b/c front desk staff stated there was a certain time that we would have to come in and we had to work. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary upon dropping her off. We did elect for play time for one day which was an upcharge. We never received pictures or updates regarding my dog. However we called Saturday and was told everything was going well and that she’s wagging her tail. She seemed happy she just wasn’t eating a lot. On Sunday we picked her up and she was panting like she was hot or didn’t have water. She looked a sweaty mess. I thought let me take her home in bathe her she might be overly tired. She slept all day Monday like she was depressed. As an update I called to speak to the manager Tuesday. The manager never came to the phone only relaying messages to the front desk staff that Asa wasn’t outside Sunday and they’re not sure why she was sweaty and panting. She seemed fine on Saturday when she was playing. Also I asked about room temp in the kennel and they stated it was 72 degrees which is a little in the warm side in my opinion. I will not be bringing my dog back. Unprofessional that the manager didn’t want to listen to my concerns.

Thank you all so much for taking care of our boy Milo. I was nervous at first leaving him for the first time since we've had him but with the staff taking pics of him everyday (I made sure to check lol) gave me and my family a warm fuzzy that he was being taking care of. I like the little report afterwards thats lets me know how he did as well. I look forward to bring him back for a future doggy daycare session to get accustomed to other pups. Thanks again!

It was my first time ever leaving my fur babies at a doggy boarding facility. The atmosphere is very clean. The staff is very nice and relaxed. They treated my babies really well and made sure that I knew they did well while I was gone. They’re very alert when it comes to their boarders and I love that. Will definitely be using them again in the future.

I really wanted to love this place. I’ve taken my dog here twice. The first experience seemed great.. he was super tuckered out, and they took a ton of photos. Based on that, I decided to bring him back. This time, things were different. I didn’t really get much with the photos which I'm not too worried about, but he came home with an unusual amount of energy and INSANELY thirsty. He sprinted to his water bowl and i had to refill it twice.. which confused me. He’s not the kind of dog that requires constant stimulation to relax, so it felt odd. I had also requested a full groom for him, but when I picked him up, he didn’t smell fresh, which made me question if he even received a bath. At first, I let it go, but only a week later and he's showing signs that his anal glands are full. Now I’m wondering if I was charged for services that weren’t provided. To make matters worse, he has kennel cough. I don’t understand how dogs get sick in facilities that require updated vaccines. He’s never been sick before, and I feel awful for him.

The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and inviting. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted Sadie with genuine warmth and care, making her feel right at home. Their attention to detail and personalized approach made the entire experience exceptional. It was clear they prioritize customer satisfaction and go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable and valued.

We boarded our two guinea pigs and we were so pleased with how clean their cage was when we picked them up. Their hay bag was full and there was food in their bowl so we know they were well taken care of. I also appreciated them being in a quiet area. We will definitely be back! We have boarded at another kennel previously and the difference is night and day. We highly recommend The Ruff House for your small animal boarding needs.

I was really worried about taking my dog to boarding/daycare for the first time but ruff house was nothing but helpful, accommodating, and kind. They were very quick & helpful when responding to all of my questions throughout the “onboarding process” & during my dogs stay! He tested into daycare and I’m so excited to see him grow and be properly socialized with other dogs in a controlled, safe environment. When I first received pictures of my dog playing with others, my heart melted. Thank you ruff house!!

We had a wonderful grooming experience with Judy! Our pup came home happy, healthy and looking so handsome! We would highly recommend the Ruff House for their grooming services!!

Boarded our pup for the first time and we are so happy we picked Ruff House. The pictures taken during his stay shows how much he enjoyed it. They took such good care of him! We will definitely use them again for both boarding and grooming services.

I can't say enough good things about the Ruff House! They are AWESOME and always make sure my dog, Stella, is well taken care of. The staff is so attentive and loving, making Stella feel right at home. They even manage to give her baths, which is always a challenge at home. Although Stella misses us while we're gone, she has the best time at the Ruff House. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring boarding facility for their furry friends!

Beth loves my dog so much! She is very kind and takes such good care of Leo. She has a big fenced in yard that is very safe. Communication is great and you’ll get picture and text updates throughout your pet’s stay!!

Beth has a large backyard, with plenty of room for your dogs 🐕 to run. She will keep you up-to-date on how your pup is doing. She'll send photos 📸 and messages so, you know your friend is doing. If you're going on vacation and need someone to watch over friend, give Beth a ring. …

My family and I spent a week in Florida and Beth watched my Luna girl. I don’t know what she did, but my dog was sad to be home with us. She lied around for 48 hours! Lol we will definitely be taking our girl back to Ms Beth.

AMAZING!!! I needed a last minute sitter for my two French bulldogs and Gloria did not hesitate. Her prices are fair, care was great, she sent pictures and updates throughout the day, the only thing I had to provide was food. Her drop off and pick up hours are flexible. Would absolutely recommend.

When searching for the perfect pet sitter, I stumbled upon Gloria’s daughter’s business and I couldn't be more grateful. Their commitment to caring for my pet went above and beyond my expectations. Not only were they always punctual, but they helped me last minute and their genuine love and dedication to animals truly set them apart. Without a doubt, this is the best I've ever found, and I def. recommend their services to any pet. THANK YOU! 🙏:)

We found this company during a time when we desperately needed care for our dogs. Our dogs are giant breeds (Great Dane and Newfoundland) and the male is not neutered. These two issues made it very difficult to find someone to care for them especially on short notice. HOWEVER, K9 and Feline Daycare Services happily accepted them and were very understanding especially with last minute requests. Our dogs were happy each day and most importantly tired. They learned new things and over came fears (like going up a ramp). They went on walks and new dogs. I can't say enough about them! I highly recommend them. If you aren't using them for your dog or cat daycare or walking needs, then I don't know what you are doing.

The best service. My family took a vacation from the 5th to the 9th. And I received pictures daily and he look so happy. My Dog was in such amazing care. He had other friends to play with so I had no concerns. He loved it. Definitely recommend this doggy daycare. Amazing service and very friendly. Pic attached he was in a paper super cute..

Highly recommend! They watched our great dane and 2 guinea pigs while we were out of town. Not only are they affordable, but they took EXCELLENT care of our animals while we were away. Super flexible with time and very accommodating. Will definitely be using them for pet sitting in the future! Thank you!!

Great service! They went above and beyond, playing with, feeding, and sending pictures of our cats while we were away. They even fed our axolotl! Friendly and great with the pets. Highly recommend!

Very clean n I would recommend others to leave their dogs if they're going out of town

Wonderful experience, their convenience and accomodations ... like no other they Are The Best and so kind, soon as pups arrive they immediately go crazy.

She perfect on watching my dog lovely on the communication Toby love her will recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch there dog I’ll give her 10 stars

Great service, very kind people made me feel secure about the whole process and very well priced

I LOVE happy tails. I am a student at ODU (1 min away) and I take my dog here for half-day daycare. It is so nice to know that he is being taken care of and having fun while I’m at school. It’s super affordable with the package options. The staff is so kind, and it did not take them long to recognize and remember both me and my dog. 10/10 recommend!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Happy Tails Resort Dog Daycare! My Boston Terrier, Lucky, absolutely loves her time there, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their exceptional care and service. From the moment we walk through the doors, it’s clear how much the staff truly love and care for each dog. Lucky’s tail starts wagging the moment we pull into the parking lot, which tells me she feels completely safe and happy in their hands. Thank you, Happy Tails Resort, for giving Lucky such a wonderful “home away from home.” You’ve truly gone above and beyond to ensure she’s happy, and for that, I’m forever grateful!

My dog Lucky loves to go to Happy Tails Resort. They are very convenient as I buy packages for 10 visits at a time and bring him whenever I want. The staff is very friendly and love dogs so I know he is in good hands. He plays with other dogs and comes home happy. He wags his tail whenever I ask him if he wants to go to Happy Tails Resort. I highly recommend them.

My mix breed dog, Lulu, has been going to Happy Tails since February 2023. They had been recommended by a few local Norfolk friends with dogs. So as soon as she had all her shots she went for her free day evaluation (love they do that.) She’s been going there at least once a week since and I board her there when I take trips I can’t bring her on. Not only does this place post daily photos of the dogs on their social media so you get to see your dog, but the staff there knows my dog and she loves going there. She always comes home happy. Taking her there has ensured she’s socialized with other dogs and enables me to get her energy managed as a puppy because it seems I can’t walk her enough. The staff is very nice and the pricing is reasonable. I’m currently considering a monthly package.

My dog, absolutely adores this place, especially the pool! The staff are caring, attentive, and ensure all dogs are safe and having fun. Highly recommend for any dog parent looking for a splash of fun and excellent care!

Happy Tails has been my dogs' home away from home ever since I first took Langley there 7 years ago. They are truly family - mourning his loss with us and everything. Now my goofy doodles Mika Moo and Betty Blue always have a place to go for the day if I'm going to be busy or for a vacation while we are out of town. I always look forward to their near daily pictures of the dogs having fun and enjoy spotting our girls having fun!

Enzo (our golden retriever) has been going to daycare for 4 years now at Happy Tails. He also gets boarded there frequently. We LOVE Happy Tails! Staff is super friendly and you can tell they love the dogs. Enzo really loves the pool, too.

I really really love this doggy day care center. The prices are so amazing and I love that they have an outside and inside access for the dogs to roam around. They also have a pool that they will open for the dogs which I couldn't find a lot of places that had that. My dog gets so excited to come here whenever we do come. The staff is super accommodating and they even helped me out when I was in a bind that last minute and needed a place for him to go for one night. I also love their wide variety of options for pickup and drop off. Super nice that they offer that flexibility.

Happy Tails certainly lives up to its name! The staff are always friendly and greet the pups by name at drop off, they treat them as their own and even remember their little quirks. Forrest shows up AND leaves with a “happy tail” wagging 100 miles per hour! Couldn’t recommend them more to watch after your fur kids!

I trust Happy Tails to take care of our 2 dogs. I board them here whenever I travel without my dogs, and I have never had a bad experience. They post pictures on facebook pretty much every day Monday through Friday, and I always see my dogs having fun in the pictures they post. I really appreciate that. I highly recommend this place to board dogs.
