Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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.
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
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!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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, $18/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!
Really nice place with beautiful land. My dog was well cared for. I will definitely use them again. Buddy and I thank you!!
I’ve taken my dog here for six years. They’ve always been friendly and accommodating even when my travels get wonky! Our dog clearly loves the staff, too. We can’t ask for more!
The team is easy accommodating to my scheduling needs. My pups love it there and are always well taken care of.
I am a newly transplanted resident of Va. from Pennsylvania. So I needed to obtain services for my furry family that would be professional and affordable. I'd scheduled a cruise and needed caretakers for my 2 cats. After research and recommendations I chose Carvins Cove Bed & Biscuit. They informed me during a visitation before boarding,that they are moving and remodeling the cat boarding area which in my opinion was already sufficient. They stated a change of location was warranted because they had noticed the felines being uncomfortable near the cacophany of the canines boarding area. The consideration of the boarders comfort convinced me of their empathy of the pets. During the cruise, narratives and pictures were texted to me that assured me of the well being of my cats. I cannot begin to describe how they went out of their way to make their lengthy stay more than tolerable. After a 12 day stay, I picked up my cats and observed that they were in great condition and good spirits. As a matter of fact, when they'd arrived home, they appeared to be searching for and missing Emily. I'm elated that CCB&B will be the home away from home when needed. Thankyou Blair, Emily and staff!
They did a great job taking care of our dogs, even during a storm when they didn’t have power.
Highly recommend! This is the only place I’ve ever left my Bloodhound! It’s a beautiful place and the owners are friendly. My pup got car sick on the way in and they helped me with cleaning supplies to clean my Jeep. When I took her back she was very excited to go in which reassured that she’d had a great experience before! Great place!
We had to board our nervous 8 month old German Shepherd for the weekend. The young man working made friends with her. We appreciate the extra effort he took to make her comfortable. Great place to go if you need to board your fur baby.
Easy check in/out. My dog was happy and well cared for!
I would recommend touring the place before picking it. I'm not saying anything bad about the place. I would call to check on my dogs & had to wait until they called me back. But both dogs came home fine. I think if I had toured it I would've felt more comfortable. The owner just didn't make you feel very welcome.
Easy to work with and quick to respond. They had my black lab for around two weeks while I was traveling internationally and they gave multiple updates without being asked to. My dog was in excellent shape when I returned.
Beverly and her team are amazing!! They take care of all three of our fur babies. Oliver has just graduated from the puppy essentials program and it has made him a better dog. Thank you!
We just finished the premiere puppy program, and it was wonderful!! Beverly is a fantastic trainer and really took the time to make sure I understood what I needed to do for our puppy! I couldn't recommend her enough!!
I use The Well-Trained Dog & Pet Care For training and dog walking. We've had a great experience with training. Beverly has met us where we are at and provided helpful tips and feedback. She’s flexible with scheduling and has great follow up. I’m most impressed with my dog walkers! my dogs get walked 2x a day 3x a week! The photos provided always show them happy or out exploring! I love hearing about their new animal encounters and antics they get into. Scheduling is easy and report cards provided. I specifically would like to express my gratitude for the care provided during the recent tropical storms. Instead of canceling when there was a flood warning and intermittent tornado warnings. They still came and looked after my dogs. The service they provide is top-notch and they go above and beyond. Thank you!
We LOVE the team at “The Well-Trained Dog and Pet Care.” We worked with them to train our puppy in 2019 and have had them pet sit for us for the past 5 years. They are so reliable and you can book/pay online!
Beverly and her crew do a fantastic job of caring for your pets. Feeding, scooping, and providing details from each visit. Very comforting to know your critters are in good hands when you can't be there for them.
I can not say enough positive things about Beverly and her help with my new dog! She is patient and explains things to you to help you understand your dog better. Because of her, I was able to teach my boy with a better understanding of his ways. Bev comes to your home environment, which is the best way to teach. She came with us on our trail walk and even met us at Home Depot to guide us through meeting people. I highly recommend the Well-Trained Dog!
I especially want to praise Julie for the relationship she built with my dog over the weeks. I’m a travel nurse, so we all knew unfortunately the dog walks for Izzy would come to an end. It was sad for all of us. I could clearly see how much Izzy loved Julie and it was truly heart warming to see someone care for my dog and love her the way I do. She was great!
Beverly did an amazing job training and working with my 2 Pomeranians. She was very helpful, reliable, and informational! Thank You Beverly!
We have an Australian Shepherd. He is a little over 6 months old. He was a wild puppy. Then we found Beverly from The Well Trained Dog. She was wonderful and told us a lot about his breed that we didn’t know. He now sits, comes when called, gives you five, shakes and lays down. I can’t believe how far he has come. Our trainer Beverly is very dependable, and really works well with our dog. She also let us borrow a few games and training gear. Would highly recommend.
I highly recommend Beverly Amsler of the Well Trained Dog and Pet Care. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and how best to train different breeds. I have a small havapoo which, given her small size, means some exercises had to adjusted for her. My dog loved working with Beverly and I think would have gone home with her if that was an option. I now have the basics for continued training to have a Well trained dog.
Brittany has groomed both of my dogs several times now and they love her!! She’s amazing! So is the other staff that I’ve interacted with! My babies are always happy when we get there and leave nice and fluffy! I can’t imagine taking them anywhere else! She is great!!!
Here is my updated review. We have been extremely happy with boarding our 45 lb dog. She is calm after being kenneled and did well with her first professional bath! She is happy to go every time and is making her first dog friends. When house sitters cancel and dog walkers are busy, Klub Kanine is there!
My dog, Shadow, has been there twice, and he loves it!!! He wakes up in the morning excited and ready to go! I felt so welcomed, and I and my husband are so pleased with the outcome of this union. I strongly recommend Barkley and Rover🤗 …
I have been taking my Golden Retriever here for daycare consistently for two months. He loves daycare and enjoys socializing and playing with his “friends”. The staff is friendly and cares about each dog. I highly recommend Klub Kanine and Barkley and Rover to anyone who works full-time and is considering daycare options in the Roanoke Valley.
We have been bringing Murphy here since he was approximately 6 months old. He started on the Klub Kanine side and they made him welcomed with open arms and loved. Fast forward to him presently at the age of two on the Barkley and Rover side. To say that my sweet boy is super excited to come to daycare everyday would be an understatement. The employees are so sweet and friendly. The genuinely seem to care about him and love to see him when he gets there every morning. Currently the daycare is going through some renovations and I am so very excited to see what changes will occur to benefit all the sweet pups. Keep up the GREAT work and thank you for loving our dogs!!!!
Klub K-9 kept my little weiner dog happy and healthy while we were on a week long vacation. They were extremely accommodating seeing as we had to book last minute due to our pet-sitter bailing out. I've never had to board my puppy before, but the employees were so very kind and made everything as smooth as possible for us and our fur-baby. Highly appreciated and Highly recommend! We will be booking him a stay there again in the very near future 😀 🙌 👍
Barkley and Rover is a great place. My dog has boarded there and also goes to play. She is hyper and not very open to anyone who is not me, but they have made huge strides getting her to come around, and she enjoys her time there and comes home completely exhausted. Kudos to the team at Barkley and Rover, they are kind, considerate and friendly to everyone. Its like taking my dog to a family member. The owners have amassed a great group of people! Thank you!!!!
We love taking our dog to get groomed here! Brittany has been so wonderful with our dog Luna. I always know that she will be completely taken care of and she is always so sweet with her. Always happy with her hair cut and they are great not to keep her too long which I love!
My Doberman just started coming here. These are the nicest, most professional people I've dealt with in a long time. It is obvious they care about all of the dogs. My dog is worn out when he gets home and is so happy and that's all that matters to me. Bravo to the owners / managers and to the staff for being top notch. I'm so glad I found this place.
My girl LOVES Klub Kanine! Seriously, they are so caring and she is so well socialized because of her interactions. They all love her and I can tell it’s genuine. Highly recommend!
I have been with Kelly's service for 17 + yrs. I won't take my pets anywhere else! Kelly loves pets and it clear pets love her!!!!! Thank you Kelly for all the grooming visits and compassion you have extended all these years ❣️❣️❣️
Always a pleasure to deal with. Cindy and her crew treat my pets like their own. Very reasonably price. Have recommended to several people.
First visit today and Cindy did an excellent job on my Shepherd/Rottweiler mix. She has been to many groomers (out west) and has never been trimmed this good or has had a thorough blow out! Thank you, we'll definitely be back!
We absolutely love the ladies here! My dog actually gets excited when he realizes where we are headed and often doesn't act like he cares to come home after boarding because he loves the ladies and playing with the other dogs!
The girls are AMAZING here, they are so good with both of my babies!!! And their prices are unbeatable in the area. I'll never take my babies anywhere else! We have a husky and an Australian Shephard and they always look amazing and they are so happy after their visit!!!
My husband and I went to San Diego 12/16 to 12/28 to visit my son, wife and grandbabies. Very professional and great service. Phat Phat, KoKoBean and Puma lived there best life when we was out town. Thanks to all
A little pricey as I have 3 dogs but there great with my dogs. They don't mind going as the staff is kind and perfesional. I wish they would give a discount if you have more than one dog and bring them all in at the same time. I will still continue to go there because the care of my pets is more important than price.
Just started working next door, had appt for 3 large dogs that I had to cancel due to ac unit breaking at home and having to be there for it to get fixed. Offered to pay for missing appt even, and was verbally attacked by owner for wasting her time in front of clients... 3 people now who will be recommending other places before even trying her place because of her hateful manners and lack of customer service. Have worked for myself for years and have never treated anyone horribly for a cancel or no show. Shocking behavior from a professional. 9/4/2019 Was just informed owner has seen review and unless I take the review down, I can no longer step foot on property or rent space to work out of, as she owns the building. Taking key back... If you don't want a bad review, don't be a nasty human being. And you really shouldn't try to bully people. Unfortunately not surprised.
We love them!!! Such a great place and they love your pets just like their own.
Absolutely the best for grooming and boarding!!! Standard Poodles require patience and attention to detail. They have always provided top notch quality!!!
Our dog struggles with reactivity, resource guarding, and anxiety, and finding boarding for her is a constant challenge. Ann Marie agreed to meet with us and give our dog a try when nobody else in the area would. She took the time to meet with us on multiple occasions to create positive associations and get a feel for how to best handle our dog. Ultimately, we had a successful 5 day boarding experience! Thank you Ann Marie and team for all that you do!
I had to board my dog for the first time ever and he had the best experience. Every person I interacted with was so kind and helpful. I did almost all my communication by e-mail and they were very responsive and helpful. Even with my appointment being very late notice and having to move it a day. They never acted like it was a burden and were always willing to help. I really cannot say enough how much it meant to deal with people who were so warm and welcoming. It really helped alleviate my anxiety of boarding my boy. I would certainly recommend this kennel.
We have used County Air Vacation Kennels exclusively since 2017 and our beloved dogs have received exceptional care there. Both my husband and I could not recommend Country Air more highly. The owner and staff are keenly attuned to the health and well-being of the dogs they care for. Roanoke is lucky to have such facility.
Country Air Vacation Kennels has been AMAZING to me and my dog, Conan. Conan is not friendly to people other than his own family and I wasn’t sure if I’d ever find a kennel to care for him when we vacationed. Ann-Marie has been a true skilled professional from the beginning. She took a chance with Conan and has taken great care of him for the last 3 years every time we have needed her. I can’t give her enough stars here!
We so grateful for Anne-Marie and her wonderful staff at Country Air Vacation Kennels! She's been caring for our dog for years and we can't imagine taking him anywhere else. The personal attention and care, the extensive knowledge and experience of Anne-Marie and her staff, the professionalism, and the love for animals makes this the perfect place to take our fur baby.
Ann-Marie is such a fantastic person to kennel your dog with! She really helps alleviate the stress of leaving your dog by knowing they're being left with someone who will truly care for your dog and has their best interest and comfort in mind. Highly recommend Country Air Vacation Kennels to anyone in need of a place for your dog to stay. Also worth noting that Ann-Marie is accepting of reactive and nervous dogs and offers special treatment for those that need it!
Ask them about their training option, it's absolutely worth it! Such a wonderful place and fantastic owner. The location is also magnificent, it's much better than in a city setting. The dogs get near-constant attention, and stimulation. My dog was a little nervous at first, but when I came back she didn't want to leave. Update: I've used this fine outfit for several months now, because my dog absolutely loves them! She knows as soon as I turn onto the road that she's in for a fun little vacation with her doggo friends, and a staff that truly cares. 6/5 stars, you can rest easy knowing nothing bad will happen to your furry friends.
I cannot say enough good things about Country Air Vacation Kennels. I first met Anne-Marie when my dog trainer was looking for well-trained, low-energy dogs for my dog to socialize with. My dog was never properly socialized as a puppy and was fearful of almost everything, including humans and other dogs. Anne-Marie brought in the perfect dog to compliment my nervous one. Well-trained, well-behaved, polite, and low-energy. Then, when I was looking for a boarding place, a friend of mine told me to check out Country Air because they had such good experiences there in the past. Surprise surprise, Anne-Marie was the person running it! I was incredibly nervous to leave my dog there, as I hadn't boarded her before and because by nature my dog is incredibly scared and nervous. Ann-Marie did absolutely everything to make me and my dog feel comfortable, up to and including allowing me to check in on my dog multiple times to make sure she was okay. My dog even surprised me and ended up making friends with some of the more low-energy dogs while I was away! I've left my dog at Country Air twice now and every time I am blown away with how much time and care they put into the animals they oversee. I am and will continue to be a repeat customer here. If you are nervous about leaving your dog for the first time (or even the 100th time), just know that your dog is safe in their capable, caring hands.
Rural kennel but not too far out. Owner and employees are super friendly. I have boarded my dog twice and the whole process was smooth. The dogs have some play time everyday so I paid extra to have my dog bathed. We will be going back!
Country Air Kennels is a caring and affordable boarding option for Roanoke area residents. The new owner is a certified dog trainer and groomer and makes certain that our dogs are well taken care of and safe while they are staying at the kennel. We have 3 dogs and have used Ann-Marie’s private boarding services for years prior to her purchase of Country Air and have never been anything but pleased with her level of customer service. Our dogs are always excited to go see her and tired from playing and having fun when we get them back! My mom also uses Country Air for her dog and the staff was kind and flexible when she needed to change her return date due to weather issues this past January. A hidden jewel in the Roanoke Valley.
When I had to go on a work trip, Kim came by to walk my dog, Sky, a couple of times a day. Not only did she bond with this fearful dog but she also worked well with my daughter who has a history of emotional problems. As a bonus, she is great photographer and sent pictures of Sky that I will always treasure.
Kathy and her family and this kennel is a lifesaver. It's so nice to go somewhere with my family and know the dogs are cared for like they are at home or on their own little vacation. Kathy is wonderful, attentive, caring and her kennel is immaculate, laid out well and perfect for dogs. We can't thank her enough for the special care and the piece of mind when we are out of town. I think our girls actually miss being there!
Kathy is so wonderful! We contacted her for a last minute pet sitting position for our cat. She was very flexible and eased our concerns with much patience. She came to our home to meet our cat and take notes of routine and location of things she would need. She was very thorough and attentive to our cat. We absolutely loved the daily pictures and updates while we were out of town as well. We will definitely use her again when we need a pet sitter😊
During a brief hospital stay I needed someone to take care of my horse Dakota. Kathy Fridley of Fur & Feathers Pet Sitting was recommended by a friend. I found her to be very responsible, caring & punctual.. She did a great job & I highly recommend her.
Kim was absolutely amazing! She was punctual and sent some great photos and videos of our dog during her playtime visit. Our pup was definitely loved on and taken care of while we were away. We had peace of mind and no worries while Kim was there. I will definitely use their service again!
Kim is a wonderful and carrying pet sitter. We have 4 dogs and a cat. Two of the dogs are 15. Our youngest is a Boston Terrier that injured her neck shaking her toys too hard. Kim let us know that she wasn’t doing well one day and stayed until someone could get there to take her to the vet. She also keeps us updated on what is going on with our oldest dog. He has good days and bad days (arthritis) and she really cares how’s he is doing. We are grateful for the time, attention and love she provides to our animals.
Kathy has been looking after our 3 dogs for several trips now. She is very professional and responsive. She took the time to meet with me and our pets and help me work out a schedule that works for them. I love getting the updates and the photos from each of her visits. This gives me wonderful peace of mind. When we return home it's very obvious that the dogs have been well looked after.
Our German Shepherd puppy, Harley, spent a week with Fur and Feathers. She was so well cared for and was treated as if she was their own. We enjoyed receiving text messages, with pictures, each day of her stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. We would definitely recommend Fur and Feathers for your pet sitting needs. Kathy, Mike, and their girls are awesome!!
We used Fur and Feathers last week for the first time. Kathy was AWESOME and took such great care of our dog, goats, chickens and cows. We loved how she gave us daily updates and pics of our animals. We will most definitely use her services again and highly recommend her.
Kathy watched my Shepard & Terrier Mix rescue dog for 2 nights. You can tell she really cares about the animals. She came to the house to see them in their environment, took time to make special notes. Was sent pictures each evening describing their day along with pictures. I've been to two other kennels in the area & was not happy with the setting. This setting is a house setting & pour dogs seemed very happy there. I will be using her from now on! So glad I found her.
Went to take my dog this morning and was greeted by 4 employees who seemed to he fairly nice. As I went to hand off her leash to them, I asked a simple question. Is my dog going to be stuck in a crate all day? They said no until the older lady came at me rudely asking didn't you take a tour? I work every weekday until 5 so of course I didn't take a tour. Then she proceeds to tell me they are in crates 2 hours at a time with 30 minutes of playtime in between then back in the crates 2 hours again. As I'm telling them I don't think that's going to work for me she got offended as if I should be ok with paying 30 dollars a day for them to not watch her and leave her sitting alone scared in a crate for over half the time she is there. If you're looking for a doggie daycare, this isn't it I promise you, another place taking your money to lock your dog up and profit off of that. I could already hear all the dogs barking locked in crates already first thing this morning as I arrived. Tell me how this is good for them to be locked up first thing when they get there while all the employees stand at the front doing nothing? Keep your dogs at home before you bring them here. Complete junk
Training for agility competition, I really enjoy working with the trainer and learning how to communicate with my dogs to run the agility courses properly and safely.
Field of Dreams takes care of our little girl at day school and we have also enrolled and completed training classes with more in the future and hopefully agility training. The day school is great (Ryleigh told me) and the training is really effective. If you have a dog, try out Field of Dreams!!
I just want you to know if u bring ur dog here it will sit in a cage the whole day it's like a prison for dogs. I love how the website looks and how u think it would be but at any time there are 50 to 70 dogs there in cages run by 4 or 5 little kids. The dogs are rotated and get to play with other dogs for 1 hour. The kennels have no toys water bowls anything it's disgusting. Please don't bring ur dogs here if ur gonna pay someone to keep ur dog in a cage ur better off doing it yourself. Have videos of full rooms of dogs in smaller cages then they should be in just barking I honestly couldn't believe it was that disgusting and sick. It's like u see dogs in the spca cages. This is no different. You're gonna pay for ur dogs to sit in a cage all day. Pls bring them elsewhere the extra money is worth it I know a few dog daycare that actually are what they say. This place is trashy. Reminded me of a spca commercial with the dogs stuck in cages all day.
Field of Dreams is the cleanest, best doggie day care in southwest VA. They truly c a r e about your dog(s). Their happiness and safety are of prime concern while they are in their care. Five Stars
Personally I really do this place. I've just started picking my dog to the classes and we've had a really good time. People are very nice and it's just a very relaxed setting with you and your dog can learn at it piece of the hot dog to behave hats off to him. I'm looking forward to the upcoming classes and how it suggested to anybody that wants to train their dog properly
They are so amazing I have been recommending them to everyone. They have cute little report cards sent home that tell you who they played with and any one on one activities. Hours and price are so fair. The only problem is the pick up situation. Only one person at a time in the office to pick up dogs so if multiple people are there you have to wait behind a yellow line surrounding the door so in bad weather it will be unpleasant but it is in place for the dog’s safety so I totally get it. It just is tedious and sometimes time consuming so it’s better to be aware and prepared.
Wonderful trainers and staff. I've attended classes and done day school. They always follow up with emails which is more than expected. They really do care!
Great doggy daycare. They look after our little guy and he’s always pumped to go. We like how they are structured and reinforce manners. It’s not a free for all but your pup still gets plenty of exercise and stimulation.
Very helpful staff. Karen, the owner, is also really knowledgeable and has been a great resource for my wife and I as we begin training our first puppy together. We are in the puppy training classes. We plan on coming back for future classes as my pup grows up.
If you are looking for a vacation stay for your beloved companion while you yourself need to get away, then this is the place. Do you have a little dog who does not want to be around the big dogs? No problem they have their very own cozy cottage. Do you have a big dog that needs to unload energy? No problem they have their very own large play area. Do you have training issues and need a professional guidance? No problem the owner is a certified trainer who loves all types of dogs and is absolutely amazing. Are there days when you just do not have enough time to play with your pet and would like him/her to get socialization? No problem. They have doggie day care. There are many needs that the Bigger Brain can fulfill all you have to do is call and make an appointment. I absolutely love it there.
I can leave my two dogs at the Bigger Brain and know they are getting expert care. When I drop them off they run to the kennel gate with tails wagging. When I pick them up, they are relaxed and clean. Debbie knows dogs and gives great attention to knowing yours. Can't recommend enough.
My two dogs were cared for as if they were their own. Well cared for facility with lots of room for the dogs to run and play. I also loved that they allowed them to kennel together. One of my dogs is a rescue dog with high anxiety, if he had to be in a kennel alone, I wouldn't have enjoyed my vacation worrying about him. It was a great experience, we will definately return!
We took five dogs to board. When we got home, we picked up only four. One of our dogs had bloat in the past. We advised the owner of this fact and explained how important it was to use a ball in his dog bowl to make him slow down when eating. While we were gone we received a call advising us that our dog was dying! The owner wanted to know if we wanted to spend additional money on a “sinking ship.” He was a member of our family! Not any kind of ship! We advised her to take him to the vet. We received a call from the vet letting us know that there wasn’t any hope. We suspect what happened is that the ball was never used; he ended up with bloat again; the owner didn’t recognize the signs of bloat; and she waited too long to take our precious Luca to the vet. If you value your dog’s life, don’t take them to this kennel!
Our pups are always happy to go here! We used to go to a nearby kennel but felt the owner sometimes hard to work with. Debbie is also so friendly and accommodating and our dogs are well cared for.
We, and our dogs have relied on The Bigger Brain and it’s proprietor, Debbie Duttenhofer, for at least 15 years (through several locations). Blitzen loves going to Miss Debbie’s and we always feel very secure in trusting Debbie and the BB staff with our most important family member!
great people who care about your dog... Love these guys. Would recommend them for sure!
Great place. Lots of running room and my dog did fine.
LOVE this place and Debbie.....have learen alot from and got alot more to learn....Thanks Debbie
Nice place and good service.
My little puppies love it here!! They have been to Little Ponderosa the past 3 days, the past two days, they run to the front door! They do tours on Monday/Tuesday too! My favorite part of the day now is getting pictures of my little babies playing 😍 …
They are extremely pet oriented here. Our dogs love going here and the prices are reasonable for what you get. Oh, and our dogs have their first album coming out soon!
We have boarded our Bongo at Little Ponderosa for several nights, as well as taken him for Doggie Daycare on a few occasions. Bongo has gotten his nails trimmed there twice as well. He is so excited to see his human and dog friends there. I love the messages and pictures the staff sends us to let us know our pup is doing fine and having fun. Great staff and clean facility!
Could not have any better place for our Brandi to visit. Perfect for all of your pets needs. Boarding, Daycare and not to mention Annette's training! Brandi also loves her baths and nail treatments!
This is the BEST kennel we have ever used and we are so grateful to have found them!!! We have owned multiple Australian Cattle Dogs, and our current dog Bailey can be a handful. We struggled for several years trying to find a kennel that would love Bailey and understand the nature of this breed. Multiple kennels didn't work out. But from the get go, the team at the Ponderosa has not only made it work, but they love our dog Bailey, they play with him regularly (he needs lots of exercise), they send us photos, and he is happy and healthy when we pick him up! The Ponderosa is great with all dogs, they adapt their services to meet the needs to insure the best care possible. Each dog has lots of room to play, with and indoor/outdoor kennel and play yards. We are so grateful for the Ponderosa -- to finally have peace of mind knowing our special needs dog is safe and happy. Thank you so much to the owners and staff. We love you guys!
Super passionate caring hard working individuals that love your dog just as much as you do. They send pictures to you to ease your worries and love what they do. Highly recommend! Can I check myself in?!
We have been bringing our year old Lab rescue to Little Ponderosa for daycare. The staff is wonderful and it's easy to see that they enjoy their job and are great with the dogs. Additionally, it's the cleanest kennel I've ever been in. Our boy is always happy from a day of play there.
Harley, our Springer Spaniel, loves his visits to Little Ponderosa. He jumps out of the car, runs into the office and heads back to the boarding area without a backward glance. He loves the play time and we love seeing the pictures the staff sends of him playing with other dogs. We appreciate knowing he is happy and well cared for while we are out of town.
Doolittle so appreciates the warm greeting and (name) recognition when we goes for a stay. You can add on services (bath, nails, etc) to be done upon your return and daily reports are sent so you can "oooh" and "awww" over your pet enjoying his or her stay.
Our dogs love Little Ponderosa Pet Resort! We love the fact that they send daily photos of your pets having a great time! We can go on vacation and know they are well taken care of!❤️
Kathy is great. Definitely should board your dogs here.
We have been using Sugarfoot Kennel for over 3 years. Our two Aussies love it there. Kathy Morck and her staff are excellent. The facility is very clean. The kennel is designed by professionals and it shows. I give them 5 stars.
First time using Sugarfoot Kennels. The kennel we had been using for past 11 years went out of business due to Covid, so met with owner, Kathy, and after talking with her and touring the kennel, the deal was closed and we boarded our dog with her. And we are glad we did because the 3rd day our pet was there, she became sick triggered by her fear of violent thunderstorms. Kathy went the extra mile, took our pet to our vet and with the quick and personal intervention, our pet is fine. Strongly recommend this dog kennel
While Maintaining Sugar Foot Kennels property, I can say this, Kathy works hard to care for your dogs, she keep the kennels super clean and the property is kept up to top notch. If you had to take your dog anywhere this is the place, settled in the prettiest property in goodveiw.
Highly recommended!! I wouldn't trust many with the care of my babies. But kathy is the best! She cares for all the animals like her own.
Great place, love Kathy. She takes great care of our furbabies! Wouldn't take them anywhere else.
Kathy doesn't just board dogs, she really cares for them.
1st time I boarded my dog ,I was happy I will use again.
Very caring individuals. Took great care of my babies!
This place is immaculate. Highly recommend.
