We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!

I highly recommend NRG doggy day camp! Lauren was so kind and professional. I have never boarded my pup before and she really put my mind at ease. She sent me pictures and videos of my boy and took care of him as if he were her own. He made lots of friends and had such a great time! Thank you Lauren!
Had such an amazing experience with NRG Doggy Day Camp. Our two dogs stayed here for the day while we went rafting, and everything from booking to pick-up was incredibly positive. Lauren is clearly very passionate and a fantastic communicator. The facility is gorgeous and clean. Our dogs had a blast and were very tired out from all the fun play when we picked them up. So grateful to have such a wonderful camp to bring our dogs to when we visit NRG!
Had such a good experience with NRG Doggy Day Camp and Lauren! My dog is a stubborn senior gal who I've never left anywhere like this. Booking, drop-off and pick up were so easy. Georgia was so well taken care of, with Lauren making some special arrangements so she'd be safe and comfortable. I was able to get updates during the day while we were in the park. I would not hesitate to every use this service again! Very happy with our experience! And extremely fair pricing
This place is amazing! We had to unexpectedly take our dog on with us on our vacation to the New River Gorge area. We had this spot recommended to us if we wanted a break from our pup to go enjoy some of the water adventuring she can’t join in. Getting set up was smooth and easy. I appreciate how carefully the vet dog’s health records too. The facility was amazing and the service outstanding. You can feel super relaxed leaving your pup with these guys. They really saved the day for our water vacation plans. If we find ourselves ever again with our pup out here, we will absolutely use NRG Doggy Day Camp!
Our dog spent the day here while we were recently in town to explore NRG National Park. It was so convenient to be able to leave him here while we explored the park just miles away and comforting to know he’d be well taken care of while we were gone. Lauren was so easy to work with and so good to the animals. Our dog was happy, exhausted, and freshly brushed at the end of the day. I only wish we lived closer so he could come back more often but would highly recommend NRG Doggy Day Camp to anyone in the area or passing through!
NRG Doggy Day Care is perfect for folks visiting the area and need quality and convenient care for their dog while they spend the day rafting the New or Gauly. Super easy drop off and reasonable rates. Our dog has a great day with Lauren and she was flexible with us about timing to pick him up. Definitely recommend.
NRG Doggy Day Camp is a great place. A home away from home for these pups. The place is clean, the different areas for the dogs are well kept, and worth the grooming package before pick-up. The owner, Lauren is super sweet and professional. Highly recommended 👍 …
Lauren at NRG Doggy Day camp has taken care of our dog, Douglas, twice. The second time he saw her he was so excited to see her. He greeted her like an old friend. It really showed how she takes great care of him. I highly recommend this business.
My 10 year old chocolate lab stayed here while we went white water rafting and I think he absolutely loved it! The staff were super friendly and took great care of him! He had his own little kennel area with a bed, shade, and house & he got extra play time with the other doggos there in a big play area with shades, kiddie pool, and sprinklers to keep him cool! Would definitely bring him back here next time we come! Great people to work with and for a great price! So thankful we found this place!
So grateful this service was available for us when we went rafting! This was the first time we have ever left our dog anywhere, and Lauren made us and Chloe feel comfortable,. When we picked her up, Chloe was happy and had been well cared for. We would definitely use this service again! Lauren is very professional, and it's obvious she loves dogs!
