I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $25/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Love this team. They loved on Newman every time I had to travel.
I love Indian Bridge Kennels. The staff are friendly and professional and the facility is clean. I also love Dawn who does the grooming services. She always gets my Yorkshire terrier looking and smelling great. My dog seems happy when I drop him off and pick him up. I also like that they offer doggie daycare, and that they post pictures of your furbabies on Facebook so you can see what they're up to while you're away.
We were nervous first timers and quickly felt comforted about our decision after speaking to the staff and seeing pictures of Daisy at play time. We will definitely bring her back!
The BEST OF THE BEST!!!! My GRANDPUPPY LOLA gets extremely excited to get dropped off and be extremely sad when I pick her up. She really loves to come to Indian Bridge and the staff is extremely friendly!!!! I could NOT have ask or find a better dog daycare/boarding place. I can definitely rest well at night knowing that my GRANDPUPPY is getting so much love from here. I promise you WILL NOT be disappointed with Indian Bridge kennels & Suites!!!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!
Sophie loves the place. She is shy at first but once she starts getting all the pamper and care from the staff she just loves to be there. They take care of her making sure that she is happy and love just like she was at home. I was concerned about a good place to leave Sophie when I have to go out of town for work and this is the place. We will have another experience here soon leaving for a whole week and I know she will be in good hands. Thank you so much for all the care to our Sophie and the pictures just fill my heart with joy.
We have a 3 years old rescue who has never done will with boarding. She would often not eat and be lethargic when she came home. That was not our experience with Indian Bridge. We boarded our dog for 2 weeks this summer while we traveled to visit family and my heart was put to rest the moment we stepped in. It is a beautiful, clean facility. The front desk person was delightful. Everything about this place felt right. They take the dogs out 4 times a day, 2 of which are playtimes. They offer a military discount and they did a great job trimming my dogs nails. I highly recommend this place!
Our lab LOVES Indian Bridge. He is routinely there for boarding and daycare. It's nice to have somewhere our doggo loves to be when we are away.
Mutt gets excited about a half mile away when arriving. Tail wags, no sense that the pooch is being abandoned or left with strangers. Place is clean & professional. It gives me a peace of mind when on travel. The photos posted of reflect my earlier comments. Recommend Indian Ridge over comparable kennels that i use to use.
Have been bringing my dog for weekday daycare for about 2 weeks now. He has always been well taken care of and has a good time. Rate is very reasonable, facilities are clean, and staff are prompt and courteous.
Our dog enjoys being able to play with other dogs at Indian Bridge. She seems happy there.
I've been using 4 Pets' Sake for years and I trust them 100%. What a good feeling to go away and NOT worry about my animals. The caretakers are amazing and TRULY CARE about the animals! I love the emails sent after every visit. Brightens my day!
We are so thankful to live nearby 4 Pets’ Sake and to have their services available to us! After a few very bad experiences with Rover and dog boarders, we were desperate for an in-house option for our dog — someone professional, reliable, and kind. And thankfully, we found all of that with 4 Pets’ Sake! Each time we’ve contacted them, they’ve been so communicative and thorough — and they seem to understand all the concerns of a pet owner/homeowner, which is a huge relief. We really appreciated their interview process so we (and our pup) could meet the sitter and ensure we were all comfortable with each other. Also, they make scheduling and payment so easy, and their whole system is so modern and efficient. Their online dashboard is great to work with. We were so grateful to them when I went into labor with our baby. They were quick to respond and very flexible, which was such a relief in a very stressful situation. Oh! And we LOVE their email reports with photos after each visit! Such a nice touch that really makes us feel like our dog is being taken care of and loved in our absence. They are definitely our new go-to local dog sitter/walker, and we are so grateful to them! Highly recommend!
I have been using 4 Pet's Sake for a number of years now and their people are great. We have one wonderful woman, Sharon, who is the primary care taker of our cats. She is very reliable and always looks out for their health. If one of our cats is hiding, she always tracks them down to make sure all is OK. When I lived in Virginia I used another service that was not nearly as professional and responsive. These folks will call if they don't hear from you by your expected arrival time. Having 4 Pet's Sake taking care of the cats allows me to have a truly relaxing vacation.
I seriously can't say enough how wonderful everyone at 4 pets sake is. We moved here from CA and were in need of a reputable and reliable pet care service. My 3 kitties love and adore Ruth and everyone else! They make the whole process seamless and are extremely thorough and professional. Kelly is fantastic about getting back to you quickly and answering all your questions via email! They have an incredibly fair rate that covers much more than just the actual pet care! Love being able to go out of town and know that my pets and house are in great hands with 4 pets sake!
Four Pets' Sake is a wonderful service. Carol, our cat sitter, is a saint. We have too many cats, and when we go out of town she cares for them cheerfully and without complaint. She leaves us a day-to-day report on who she sees and their shenanigans. Terry in the office is a gem, very pleasant to talk to and quite efficient. They've been able to serve our needs in an emergency more than once. Making reservations on the website is very convenient. I'd recommended Four Pets' Sake to anyone.
My dog Socks has impeccable boarding care & amazing walks from special people at 4 Pets' Sake! They are attentive to details in my home, and after five years; I am still blown away at how much they care about all aspects of their visit. From pulling in trash cans, to turning on my alarm when I forget to set-it myself. It is absolutely wonderful to know people exist who really care about people & our fur babies! I do not worry about my pet at all when she is in their care. I travel with complete peace of mind. I thank the entire team & recommend them often to friends.
We are so thankful that we found 4 Pet's Sake to take care of our two puppies. The owner, Terri, is awesome to work with and she and Kelly have always come through for us on any last minute requests, no matter how short of notice. Yvonne is our primary dog walker and our puppies LOVE her. She takes very good care of them, with lots of love, walks and romps. They so look forward to her twice daily visits. We get a "report card" every day that tells us how our puppies were feeling, what they did on their walks, etc. We always refer to Yvonne as their second mother. She is the best and we are truly blessed that we found this company and Yvonne.
I have been using 4 Pet's Sake for many many years. I've also had the same sitter almost every time, which is nice because now my cats feel comfortable with her. The sitter also leaves very detailed notes of each visit, which is fun to read when I get back home. I have 7 cats and that's a lot of feeding, scooping and playing, so I think the price is very reasonable too. They are always quick to respond to my requests, even on short notice. I highly recommend them.
4 Pet's Sake has consistently provided the best care for my dog . . . and he is not the easiest dog! I know he is in good hands when 4 Pet's Sake is caring for him. They also have a tremendous system of communication to make sure you know how everything is going with your baby. I am so happy to have found them. Doris is the best!!
This service is the best! They have taken great care of our cats and dogs for years. Last year our dog Ginger had surgery unexpectedly and needed mid-day care because we both work full-time. They took care of her with little notice. We are always confident that our dogs and cat are being well taken care of. They really care about what they do. We can relax knowing our guys are in their care when we can not be there. I highly recommend 4 Pet's Sake. for your pet sitting needs!
We recently boarded our six-year-old Mini golden doodle and five month old Mini Bernad doodle. Needless to say they had the absolute best time! We received daily photos of all the dogs playing. Highly recommend!
Our normal boarder was unavailable and we were referred to Pawsitively Purr-fect through the grapevine. Our dog loves other dogs but has been reactive with some other boarders, so finding a new option at the last minute was a challenge. Jacki & JR were the best we’ve worked with, no contest, and have become our new go-to for boarding & daycare. They checked his veterinary records, showed us their home setup (which was a substantial improvement compared to our previous boarder), trialed him through daycare for a couple of days, and then kept him for a full week. They kept up his requested diet, gave him plenty of playtime and rest, and sent plenty of photos and necessary updates throughout his stay. We went for boarding in a pinch and left as new clients excited to bring him back for daycare. I cannot recommend Pawsitively Purr-fect highly enough. Don’t hesitate, just go.
Not only is the owner Jacki so, so sweet and was willing to answer any and all questions I had without hesitation, but they also take the time out of their day to send photos frequently of your pets for you to see what a great time they’re having! My pup has come home happy and worn out every time she has stayed for daycare. I oftentimes feel like she misses it on the days she doesn’t go! 😂. We haven’t boarded with them yet, but have a couple of trips lined up for the summer and have full faith that Jacki and her crew will take great care of our fur baby. 10/10 recommend!
We finally found a daycare/boarding place that we can give 5 stars to! Jax absolutely LOVES going to Jackie's! As soon as we turn on her street, he is pacing the car, ready to get out and go play with his friends! Jax barks at everyone but when Jacki or JR come to the car to get him, no barking! He eagerly jumps in their arms, ready to go! The photos sent twice daily is an added bonus! Jax is our baby, and we can leave him with Jacki and JR and feel 100% comfortable! Highly recommend!!
Dropped our 1 year old lab off for Memorial Day weekend for a three day stay. Lizzy was very reluctant to go in as all the dogs were carrying on and the gentleman who took Lizzy in had to sort of force her into the kennel area. When we came to pick her up, we had to kinda force her into the car as she didn't want to leave!!!! LOL. We received numerous pictures each day and a couple of videos that reflected how well kept the dogs are in their care. They were very communicable, pleasant and we will absolutely use them any and every time we need boarding for our lab!
I was thrilled to find this pet boarding near us for a recent trip. Having a meet and greet with the owner, Jacki, to see the facility and let my dog run around put me at ease. There is a large indoor facility lined with kennels connected to a fenced yard with astroturf and toys. I like that the dogs have free reign to go inside and outside as they please all day (except a few breaks in their kennels to eat, rest, etc.) Jacki was always very responsive via text, and she sent pictures every day (usually 2-3x/day) all the dogs around the yard. My dog came home tired, but content. I will be using Pawsitively Purr-fect in the future.
Amazing!! I really have no other words for Pawsitively purr fect pet sitting. Jackie took such good care of my dog while we were gone! My fur baby is diabetic and needs insulin twice a day. We were updated multiple times a day with Autumns status. I have a hard time trusting anyone to care for her but Jackie was amazing!
My dog, Penny boarded here and had the time of her life! I loved the daily pics and knowing that she was safe and happy. We will definitely be back! Thank y’all so much!!
My two Golden Doodles absolutely love this place! My husband and I also love how they care for our dogs. When we are on the go.It’s great knowing and seeing my dogs are well taken care of is super comforting!!
A friend referred me to Pawsitively Purr-Fect and I'm so glad she did. I have a senior beagle and needed a place for him to board while on vacation. I was so impressed with the Meet and Greet process and tour. I was grateful for the fact that I was given a tour of the whole facility. It was clean and thoughtfully put together. They had nothing to hide, which made me trust them and feel comfortable about leaving my furbaby in their care. All my questions were answered thoroughly. Booking and paying for services is easy. My dog did great. While he was there, I got regular reports and photos so I knew he was having fun and well looked after. I appreciated their attention to my dog's special needs (and my worries.) All the staff I met was curious and friendly. They took excellent care of my boy and I know he will be a regular visitor now.
They are wonderful. They have groomed my Yellow Labrador retriever Captain since he was about 4 months old. He gets a nice bath and toenails trimmed. He smells great when he is done. Recommend them highly
We have been boarding our cat Jack at 4 Leggers for the past four years. The cat condos provide a quiet, private space for each kitty, and the staff is friendly and caring. The price is also extremely reasonable. Best of all, Jack never seems stressed or nervous when we pick him up, unlike experiences we had with other boarders.
For a couple of years now 4 Leggers has been grooming my little "Baby" who is a Yorkie/Dachshund mix. They always giver her great care and kindness. In recent months she has been dealing with a back injury and they were so gentle with her and handled her like a baby. Unfortunately my vet says they do not recommend any future grooming due to her permanent nerve damage in her back. I just wanted to thank everyone at 4 Leggers for all their fine work and love for my "Baby". I would highly promote them and their wonderful services for the Northern Neck.
They did an excellent job on my Maltese, Presley. He smelled and looked so good. We will be going back.
They are the best. My Walle doesn't mind the visit! 🐶 We trust them with our baby, that says alot!❤ …
Great place to board your pet. We haven’t done grooming, but will likely also be excellent.
I took my Sparky for a grooming on June 4th. He was supposed to be groomed with no hair cut from his ears or tail. I pick him up and there is no hair at all on his tail. The hair on his ears was cut. Very unhappy about it. I brought it to the attention of Travis. He said he was sorry. He did not offer to cut the price of the bad haircut. Just said he would wite it down. Well, it should have been written down from Sparkys last visit. Will not be going back. Customer lost.
I have grown up in this area and these folks are the absolute sweetest people to interact with. My dogs are very comfortable being here and I would trust them 100 times over to take care of my dogs and treat them as if they were their own. The staff has a caring sense about themselves that is absolutely heartwarming and you will feel that in your first interaction.
I just had my Pomeranian shaved for the summer season. They did a great job and he looks absolutely cute. The owners are nice people as well. I took a star off because they still will not let people in the building without a mask. The CDC has stated that people who have been vaccinated can enter buildings without a mask and even the governor of our state has said the same thing.
I took my Havanese here to get groomed and Pam did such a good job he looks so much better I’m sure he feels better very nice professional clean business, Travis was great too. So impressed! We will be returning
We have been using All Breeds for many years now and they are fantastic. David abs Eric are amazing with our girl and take great care of her! They send detailed reports after each walk and pics, which make my day! We highly recommend them, if you've been looking for a reliable dog/pet sitter you have found them! I can't say enough great things about them and the company!
Eric and Owen have been giving my boys mid-day breaks for a few months. I always get reports about how the visits go and what they did with the boys. They also bring in my too frequent packages from the porch. My job and life seem a bit chaotic at times, but Eric always finds a way to accommodate my crazy schedule, even last minute changes. And this great service comes at very reasonable rates. I highly recommend All Breeds Dog Walking!!
We absolutely love All Breeds! We have received nothing but excellent service! Our fur baby loves all the walkers (David, Eric, and Owen). He gets so excited when the doorbell rings (and disappointed if it's not them :) Highly recommend
This business is just amazing! They take great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats every time we travel!! Eric is excelent. Him and his team really do take care of our babies as if they were theirs!! He is reliable, he gives plenty of comunication and updates. Could not recomend more!!!
Roxie is amazing! She is very detailed & makes sure my babies are always taken care of. They have amazing rates and no other dog walking service compares to them! Thank you for all you do.
Dave is remarkable and provides incredible care for my dog. He has even helped my pup become more confident and comfortable on walks. They are reliable, and send me reports after every walk. I can’t recommend this group enough if you’re looking for someone to help you when you’re gone for a long time and need help.
We have been using All Breeds for several years now and they have never missed a beat. Our girls love Eric and David. They’re extremely responsive and always go the extra mile. I can’t see our family ever using another company.
Really can’t say enough about All Breeds. I was having such a difficult time finding a dog walker in our budget and one who was also flexible. My husband and I both work in customer service and our schedules tend to be all over the place. All Breeds allowed us the flexibility to switch days when needed, even if it was a last minute change, and have always done their best to come at the time we requested. Our dog has had three different walkers and each of them have been so amazing with our girl and you can tell they care very much about the pets!
We have been using All Breeds as both a dog walking service and a pet sitter for the past 2 years. I cannot say enough good things about this service. When we started with them we were just coming out of a bad experience with a different pet sitter and really needed to find another reliable company very quickly. All Breeds did not disappoint. They showed up to meet our little zoo, consisting of three cats and two dogs, the day after we called and started almost immediately. The dogs loved going on walks with Barbara and Maria. And when we traveled and used All Breeds to pet sit our cats, we always knew they were in good hands. The cats were happy, plants were watered, and the mail was brought in. Barbara and Maria always provided photos after each service which was a really nice personal touch. We are moving out of town and I sure hope we can find a company as good as All Breeds at our new location.
High recommendation! We enjoyed having Barbara take care of our 2 large dogs while we were away. Barbara made multiple visits ahead of the service dates in order to get acquainted and make sure both would be comfortable. We especially appreciate her knowledge of dog behavior, professionalism, friendly style and willingness to take on a challenge. Great service and excellent experience! We look forward to working together with All Breeds again in the future.
Odrun is the best and very thorough. She was a new sitter recommended and I was nervous; however, I could not have been more pleased with the level of care provided, including all the little extra's she does. I received daily pics showing how happy my paw babes were and how comfortable they were with Odrun. She really pays attention to detail and I was totally comfortable knowing they were in good hands. 🙏😊
Amazing service from day 1! I can be pretty protective when it comes to my fur baby, but I have absolutely no worries when my baby is in the care of Total Care Pet Sitting. Oddrun has looked after my boy for years and he thoroughly enjoys every visit. Thank you for your consistent love and care for my fur baby! You truly are passionate about what you do and it shows.
Ms. Brazelton is BOMB!!!-Diggity!!! She knows her dogs! She's very astute regarding proper pet care and training (we have a 3 month old puppy). I love being able to leave her cash or cashapp her for services, and she has a steady base of clients who appreciate her services as well. We have even asked her to board our dog during an upcoming trip. She's great!!! Our dog feels comfortable with her, which makes us comfortable leaving him with her when needed. She is reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and awed6!
Great service! Treats pets like they're her own. My dog is always happy to go to her when I need to be away. Highly recommend.
A very professional pet sitting service. The owner was very helpful in an emergency situation involving a neighbors pet during the late night hours. She was able to take the animal to the animal emergency care center and treated the animal for several days after release from the emergency care.
Love it! I've been patronizing their business for over 10 years.
Outstanding services!!! Love Oddrun!!!
Thank you.
Thanks for the review!
This is my third time using Calypso Kennels for my dogs. I’ve always had a great experience and the staff genuinely cares about my pets well-being. I wouldn’t leave them with any other kennel. Thank you for being there for us!
We cannot say enough good things about Calypso Kennels. The staff is friendly & always helpful. The facility is well managed & orderly. Koda is always excited to go & always happy when picked up. We are never concerned when he stays there. Highly recommend.
Was recommended by a friend and so happy we boarded our corgi here! Very friendly staff, reasonable prices and the report card was such a cute touch! Will def be using Calypso for our future needs!
We love Calypso Kennels. They take such great care of our cat while we are away. They provide wonderful services, their facility is clean, and the staff is fantastic.
I had a wonderful experience with Calypso Kennels. I boarded my cat for the first time and she was quite apprehensive and had some trouble adjusting. Staff kept me very informed. They made significant effort to get my girl uplifted. The care and service was truly incredible. I am beyond grateful.
Calypso kennels took very good care of my three best friends while I was out of town. The staff was very attentive to their special needs and Lilo, Stitch, and Marty McFly seemed very happy and content while in their care. Thank you Calypso for taking care of my buddies.
We love this kennel. They are very friendly and help keep our fur friend happy and healthy. They keep you up to date if anything is wrong and will help solve the problem. My dog always has a good time
This was my first time boarding Lucy with Calypso. Staff gave us a tour as requested before boarding her showing all the areas with explanations of the use. We liked the concept of Lucy having her own kennel and outside run - while she is ok around other dogs, it's not her norm. She would much rather be around people - here they take the dogs on "potty break walks" and provide options for yard time (ie, a large fenced area where the dog can run free/play/do zoomies). They have several options you can add to the daily room fee to tailor the pups visit. Lucy stayed 5 days. Calypso provided a verbal and a written summary of her stay (activity level, how she ate, any noted bowel changes, what she seemed to enjoy - for Lucy it was lying in the sun on her external run). We rarely board Lucy - we take her most everywhere we travel. It's great to have a place available near home that pays good attention to her, provides her with a safe environment (ex, air conditioning, back up generators in case of a power outage, daily cleaned kennel, etc) and keeps us informed.
This was our first experience using Calypso Kennels. We will definitely be using them again. Our dogs have never been to a kennel before and having the peace of mind that they were safe and well taken care of is priceless.
I used Calypso Kennels for the first time last week. I boarded my dog Thursday -Monday. The staff was very nice and professional. The facility is maintained very well. They took very care of my dog and even gave him a bath! I plan to use them for future boarding and daycare.
This is the best place to bring your dog. They really care about your normal while you're away or at work. Can't go wrong with salty dog daycare. I'm so glad they never closed through the COVID time. The best prices for doggie daycare. Very personalized treatment
Great place to keep your dogs for vacation. We received constant updates with pictures and our dogs were freshly bathed and pooped from playing with all the other dogs when we retrieved them. Will definitely use again and would recommend to anyone who worries about their dogs on vacation!
You really care about your animals. Can't go wrong with salty dog daycare reasonably priced ! Treat them like their own ❤️
I visited Salty Dog last week and it was a delight! I certainly look forward to taking my babies there, Owner was very nice and knowledgeable, the environment was clean. We will be back!
Great place, lots of room for the dogs, lots of very supervised playtime, and groups are made to ensure that no dog is put with a dog they don't get along with. Very accommodating, and they accept unaltered dogs! (So long as they aren't in heat of course)
Elizabeth is great and our dog loves her
Great location, wonderful people.
I was a bit scared to leave my "velcro" dog with someone else....but since we moved away from the kids.....we had to use Lisa's Bed and Biscuit... Our first choice doesn't return phone calls or emails anymore....so we were stuck and our trip was coming up... Fortunately Lisa's came through for us.....and I think our craigs list Tea cup Chihuahua that weighs 50 lbs....I think she grew up a bit
Don't waste your time with this place, went a month ago for a pre visit with my dog, The lady approved the stay we just went to drop him off the night before we leave for vacation and she denies him. Guess ill see you in court someone is paying for this non refundable vacation and it’s not me.
She charged us for 3 days when we dropped our dog off at 7 pm Friday and picked up a 6 on Sunday. Very hard to get in contact of would not recommend!
Great experience with Lisa’s Bed & Biscuit. Left my dog there while out of town for the weekend. He usually comes home stressed from boarding but he seemed right at home at Lisa’s. Will be using again and would recommend to others!
We recently boarded our 15 year old pit bull with vestibular disease with Lisa. Initially, he was going to come with us, but we realized the ride to the Keys was just going to be too much for him. We met Lisa and her employee that I cannot remember the name of. I see some reviews on here say Lisa is rude, and I disagree. From my years of experience with digs, true dog people are a different kind of people. The impression that I was left with was that she (and her staff member) would take great care of my dog and loves dogs. Initially, Sammy was boarded in the kennel behind her house with another senior dog. Honestly, I see where someone complained about this too, but for Sam, this was perfect. A kennel is a high stress environment for most dogs. This was perfect in that it was a quieter set up-just because a dog is put here does not mean they are checked on any less. We were welcomed to leave him with home items (I am a ridiculous dog mom, so I brought his bed, blanket, raised food bowl, food, medications, and a dog ice cream for each day) and check in on him by phone (which I did). When we got back to pick him up, she had moved him closer to her (since he has a little anxiety about being by himself). For a young dog with a lot of energy, this may not be the place, but for a senior dog, Lisa’s is perfect.
I left my 2 dogs with Lisa for 5 days. My fur-babies are both seniors, one is almost 21 and the other is 14. I had never boarded them before so this was a new experience for them. I was especially nervous about leaving my older dog, as he is blind and deaf. I was able to tour her facility before making my decision. Lisa made me feel comfortable and I knew they would be very well taken care here.I was very pleased with the cleanliness and her true compassion and professionalism. She answered all my questions and I felt really good about it. I was able to call and check on them and she was always very nice and let me know how they were. Five days later, when I picked them up, I couldn’t be happier. They were given the utmost care and love, that was obvious. I definitely recommend Bed & Biscuit for quality dog boarding with someone who will most certainly care for your dogs as if they were her own.
Lisa is very nice and knowledgeable about dogs. She cared for our furchildren like they were her own. We have an anxious GSD and he went willing to Lisa and did not get scared. We worry because he feels like he has to guard everything but he was safe and comfortable at Lisa's Bed and Biscuit. Our pups shared a suite because they get along. The suit was clean, spacious, and even had a patio. 😃 We have already scheduled another stay for them!
My first experience boarding my dog, because my dog does not usually have exposure to many dogs. He dislikes large dogs due to being attacked. Lisa ensured he was not placed directly next to any larger dogs that would trigger him for the stay. I liked that she offered 1 on 1 play time as my dog is also a loner sometimes and does his own thing. Out many times a day in a spacious area of the property. We were able to bring any of his items to make him feel comfortable. Will use again.
I’ve been bringing my German Shepard here for over a year now. Lisa and her staff are great with him! I’m so grateful I found this kennel. Highly recommend Lisa’s!
My dogs been here few times now and I know I don't have to worry about them at all. Lisa is so nice with all pups. My dogs feel pretty comfortable with her. I couldn't have asked for a better place for them
I have boarded my dog here and take him to doggy daycare a couple times a week. I believe he absolutely loves this place because he is sad when he doesn’t go, and when he does go he is extremely excited. Everyone there is really nice and care about the animals. I HIGHLY recommend this place due to the following: friendliness, cost, cleanliness, communication, staff, and the facility. I have absolutely no gripes about this place. I trust them with my baby.
Our dog loves this kennel. If you are not thrilled by the high prices and unnecessary frills of other kennels, Four Paws is just what you need. Our dog is always super happy when we pick her up. The staff are very friendly and you can tell they really love dogs.
First time at this location. Furbaby is a regular at Richmond and the care for him here for overnight was great and seamless given he is in the network already. This location is tucked away but is newer it appears and the staff is great just like in Richmond. Kudos to the social media posts.
I love the staff! My rescue dog was anxious and apprehensive around other dogs and unfamiliar people but with the time and attention she's received from their compassionate staff she's transformed into a happy outgoing dog.
Do not let your dogs board here! My husky stayed there from Sunday until Friday and when she was was picked up she had sores all on her nose and she is not acting like herself she seems very traumatized. I was informed the day before that she tried to get out of her cage breaking it in the process and that’s how she got the sores but when I asked for pictures of the cage I was told by amanda, the manager, that she would send them to me. 2 hours had passed and I called back to see what had happened and I was told she was in the bathroom but she would call me back and 30 mins passed and still no call and when I tried to call no one answers. For your dogs safety I REPEAT DO NOT LET YOUR DOG STAY HERE! How did she tear up a cage or even begin to tear up a cage without anyone noticing?
i've boarded my dog here for at least a year, perhaps coming up on two. he loves this place deeply, as soon as he sees the staff it's like his parents don't exist anymore with how excited he is to see them. my dog had a sudden, serious medical episode while being boarded. as terrifying as the ordeal was to deal with remotely, 4paws didn't just go above and beyond for me -- they moved mountains. amanda and camden, two employees, leapt into action and took care of my dog as if he were their own. they drove him to multiple vets looking for an opening, eventually going all the way to richmond's emergency vet because that was the only option with capacity that day. those two stayed with my dog in the emergency vet for well over 12 hours total (well into the next morning), with constant communication and photo updates of my dog the entire time. they both also had an impeccable positive attitude throughout the entire ordeal, which made me (and my dog too im sure) stay calm. even the vet commented on how comfortable my baby was to be with those two, which was great to hear even though i already knew he loves them. amanda and camden are the absolute peak of pet care professionalism, leadership, and most importantly, pet health. i will forever be grateful to amanda and camden for their dedication to making sure my dog was safe and healthy regardless of distance and time consumption. 4paws treats their clients' pets like their own children and i will always owe them more than i can ever repay for being there with my baby when i was states away and could not be there myself.
They rejected one of my dogs all because of her breed. She is a pit mix. But she is the sweetest dog ever. Wish people and places wouldn’t judge just by the breed🤦♀️ …
We needed 4Paws to give our dog meds at a certain time before our arrival to pick her up, so we called when on our way there. Had to leave a VM because there was no answer. Rather than having to wonder if they got the message and gave her the meds, Ashley (sp?) called us back within a cpl mins to confirm both receipt of the msg and the passing of said msg to those who give meds to the dogs. Thx, Ashley, for making it so that my wife didn’t stressbox, wondering if our dog got the meds she needed.
I have been taking my dogs there for boarding and daycare. Their staff is always welcoming very friendly They take care of my dogs like they were their own. I truly appreciate all their efforts and caring they put into what they do every day and for my dogs. I highly recommend this place.
We adopted a 10 month old Beagle who's energy was out of this world. The first day of Doggie Day Care was amazing The staff greeted him with love, checked on him when I called and gave me a report when I picked him up. He is happy to be there and it is because of the staff and his new dog friends. Even our new vet said this was a good place.
Jenn of Paw Keepers is my one and only go to pet caregiver in NOVA since 2020. Very lucky and grateful to find her services. To be able to trust someone, to come your home and not just provide essential care to your animals but real attention and affection. You can be assured your animals are safe and loved and your property respected. Jenn loves what she does and it shows in her attention and communication.
Jennifer has been taking care of our pets for several years - we absolutely love her!!! Initially she came in daily to check on our cat when we were out of town, we boarded our dog. Our dog is now a senior and doesn't do well outside the home. Jennifer stays overnite in our home when we're away. Our babies love her. She takes care of their every need, she also brings in our mail. The house is immaculate when we get back. Most importantly she truly loves and plays with the pets.
I 100% would recommend using Jennifer and Paw Keepers! Jennifer is amazing! She’s incredible with animals, very professional, reliable, and will work with you to ensure your pets’ needs are met. Whenever we would boarding our dogs at a kennel, they would come home incredibly anxious and sometimes ill. The boarding situation was panic-inducing for all of us. We decided to try Paw Keepers even though we were nervous that our two Aussies can be a bit hesitant around new people. No need to worry! Jennifer is so skilled and I think our dogs could sense that. They loved her immediately! I honestly have never seen them warm up to anyone so quickly! ( My cats loves her too!) Every time we use Paw Keepers we come home to happy and calm pets. It’s also great knowing someone is checking on the house while we are away. Jennifer will rotate lights on in the house, bring in the mail, and take up trash/garbage cans. She sends great updates of what the pets are up to and leaves a visit summary sheet with notes about the visits. And she gave my blind dog her eye drops without worry or additional fee like some kennels. I am so glad we decided to try Paw Keepers and will never go back to a kennel. Definitely give Paw Keepers a try! You, and your pets, will be so happy that you did!!!!!
It's never easy to go out of town and having to leave our fur babies. But Jennifer was wonderful. She spent great quality time with our kitties, put extra bird seed in our feeder out front, wiped down high touch surface areas, and sent a detailed daily update. Communication was fantastic. Even one of our kitt7es that is very shy around strangers allowed Jennifer to pet him. She is so good with our cats. We will definitely use Paw Keepers again and we highly recommend her services.
Our family has had a wonderful relationship with Jennifer owner of Paw Keepers that spans 15 years! She has taken care of my dogs with love and care while staying in our home. I never worry while away as I know our boys are happy. Communication is key with Jennifer. Keeping in touch with some adorable pictures of our boys or a quick cell call to catch me up on “ a day in the life of Theo and Vance”! Aside for dog sitting, Jennifer left our home in fabulous condition. The bed was changed, kitchen spotless and she took great care of of my plants and flowers. I also want to share a very personal story regarding the care Jennifer gives. My dad passed away in 2008 and Jennifer played a significant role in his care. He lived with us and while I was at work she provided elder care making his lunch and providing conversation that was so meaningful. My family and I are so grateful to have Jennifer in our lives, not only for our dogs but for us. Finding a caring, trustworthy and honorable business person is not easy. Should you need her services you will have an opportunity to work with a wonderful woman who truly has made a difference in our lives. I would never put my boys in a kennel as long as I can have Jennifer stay with them in their home.
As a life-long pet parent, I’ve been utilizing pet sitting services for nearly 30 years. My experiences have varied significantly from bad to ok. And then I found Paw Keepers! A neighbor recommended Jennifer in 2017. She’s been taking care of my pets professionally and lovingly ever since. She’s does midday walks for both of my dogs. She’s also done house sitting for my dogs and three cats, two of whom required twice daily insulin injections. It was such a relief to be able to leave my house knowing they would all be well cared for and happy when I got home. If you are looking for a reliable pet professional who will love your pet nearly as much as you do, I encourage you to reach out to Paw Keepers.
Jenn did an OUTSTANDING job taking care of our kitties. It was our first time ever leaving them alone and we were worried, especially because one of my kitties likes to pee where he shouldn’t. However, I am so happy that I had found paw keepers for our future vacays! Jenn went above and beyond, she came and introduced herself before we left, asked questions and had amazing communication skills. My kitties showed her so much affections which gets to show they trusted her!! If you are looking for a good companion for your pet Don’t hesitate and contact Jenn!
We simply cannot say enough great things about Jennifer and her Paw Keepers Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Service. Jennifer took our lab-baby Bella on her daily walks for about 3 1/2 years until we recently lost her. Bella looked forward to her time with Jennifer as she was treated like royalty each and every day. Our minds were always at complete ease knowing that Jennifer was there for Bella. Each day we received a detailed description of the visit, and if anything seemed “out of the ordinary” Jennifer never hesitated to contact us to let us know. We also have 2 cats that Jennifer always ensure they received attention. Jennifer is simply the sweetest trustworthy person we know.
Jennifer is amazing! She genuinely cares for the well-being and safety of your pets, and she is so great with them, Jennifer is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and you can tell by the care she takes with your pets! I would highly recommend Paw Keepers Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Service. It is such a relief knowing that my pets are being taken care of so well!
Jennifer is an awesome dog walker. She’s taken care of our pet for almost four years. Her attention to detail, professionalism and genuine care for our pet is unmatched. We’ve taken advantage of her services for both daily walks and overnight care during our trips out of town. We count on her to treat our pet as well (if not better) than we do. She’s an absolute treasure and we offer our strongest endorsement of her services!
