Cat Sitters in Jahnke, Richmond

Giselle is such a sweet and loving person! She loves and cares for our fur babies just like they are her own! Giselle kept my Dog Elijah for 5 days and kept me informed on how he was doing daily with pictures and text messages. I highly recommend Giselle because She is so gentle and kind to every fur baby that she comes in contact with! You can just tell Giselle loves what She does. She welcomes you with a beautiful smile and a very clean and safe home. Thank you so much Giselle for always giving Elijah the best home away from home. Thank you for loving and caring for Elijah as if he was your own!! We appreciate you!

I cannot recommend Giselle enough! She took care of my dog, Claire, with such love and attention that it felt like she was in the care of family. Every day, she provided updates complete with photos and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. It was such a joy to see our pets happy and well-cared for while we were away. Giselles communication was prompt, professional, and warm throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and detail-oriented, Giselle is the one! This was an amazing experience, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Giselle!

We’ve used Giselle for sitting and boarding services a few times now and she is amazing. She makes sure to keep us updated throughout the day with pictures. Giselle’s services are our families go to & is always highly recommended when asked.

Gisell is amazing! I was super nervous to leave my puppy because it was our first time being away from each other and my first time using a dog sitter period but Gisell really helped ease my nerves with her updates. She is super responsive whenever I need her and I’m pretty sure my dog stops caring about me when she realizes we’re at Gisells house 😂 I would recommend her to anyone!

Giselle is my #1 go-to dog sitter. She is very communicative, friendly, and reliable. My dog gets very excited for visits!

She is one of the BEST dog sitters there are!! She loves my cats and dog and they love her! I highly recommend her to watch your babies! She has helped me last minute in bad situations and I’m so grateful for her!!!

My furbaby can be very anxious, and his first time away from home Gisell made him feel very comfortable. Gisell communication through out the day was great making me feel like My little yorkie was in great hands! I would highly recommend Playful Paws Petcare 🐾💙 …

I have used Playful Paws Petcare multiple times to care for my sweet fur-baby. Gisell takes great care of him and he always has the best time making friend with other dogs and playing! Due to his sensitive skin and stomach issues, he needs medications administered and close eye to monitor if there are any issues to arise, which Gisell does a great job. I always receive updates and photos of my pup! I highly recommend using Playful Paws Petcare!!!

Gizell is wonderful! She is very kind and has a beautiful, clean home and set up for keeping animals. Nice fence too! I am so happy to have chosen her to care for my 4 dogs!! She handled that crew well, no doubt! She kept in touch every day sending pictures or videos, which was fun for me to see. During my trip I felt very confident that my dogs were safe and happy! She was also very flexible with our flight schedule with leaving very early morning and coming back late at night. She's the best! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again for my pet sitting needs. I know my dogs had a great time with her!!!

Gisell is absolutely amazing! She is very reliable and communicative! Anytime we go out of town or need a sitter for our boy, we can always count on her. She makes this process very easy. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!

From the moment I first spoke to someone on the phone to the day I picked him up, I've never felt more comfortable and safe leaving my sweet Dobby dog with at a doggie hotel! The love they have for pets is so real and present. Dobby came home happy, bathed, and full of energy! I highly recommend our new family at Dog Days Inn! And they gave him a distinguished bow tie!!

I took my Golden Doodle for grooming at Dogs Day Inn. Jess, his groomer, is simply amazing at her job. I really didn't appreciate how talented she is until I had another groomer cut him a few months ago. Her attention to detail, technique, and ability to shape my Doodle's hair is what sets her apart from the rest. If you want a professional cut for your Doodle, call dogs day inn and schedule and appointment with Jess. I promise you will not take your dog anywhere else after you experience her expertise.

Dogs Day Inn is the only place I trust for my dog! While they may not be the newest facility around, the staff's warmth and friendliness more than make up for it. My dog absolutely loves it here and is always happy when I pick her up. At some of the newer places, my dog has come home scared and anxious, but at Dogs Day Inn, she never wants to leave! The care and attention they provide are top-notch, and I know my dog feels safe and loved every time she’s there. If you're looking for a place where your dog will be treated like family, this is it. I can't recommend them enough!

Staff was amazing and fit my Butter in last minute. They are very professional and efficient!

We always board our two dogs here. They come home happy and tired from all the fun. It's the staff that keeps us coming back. The facility is not the newest or best appointed facility in town, but the people make the difference for us.

My dog absolutely loves this place. We had tried multiple other places (for boarding) and I had found that he was incredibly anxious entering and leaving all of those other places. But with Dogs Day Inn I found that Archie has been repeatedly excited to enter and is always happy and not at all anxious when he leaves. It appears that they pay close attention to each dog, and give them love and care while their owners are away! Couldn't recommend it more.

Our doggies seem to always enjoy their kennel stay at DDI. We opt for them to get a bath before pick up. Their fur is so soft with a nice fragrance.

Bradford enjoyed his stay as usual. Great care and personal attention. He’s glad to be home again but will be glad to be back at the next opportunity!

All of the workers are very kind and seem like they know all the dogs by names❣️😊 The groomer is one of the best! Definitely stop by and see for yourself! They are very clean and offer special made treats for your furry babies as well! 🥰 …

Great family oriented services. My babies get boarded and groomed here. I’ve been a customer for over 10 years and I’d dare not dream about taking them anywhere else. My dogs (Dutch Shepherd and a Yorkie) start turning in circles and whining as soon as we pull into the parking lot because of their excitement to go in! I have to tell them to stop it because it’s so annoying 🙄. It was so bad one day I had to call the owner because I was so tickled at their behavior. It’s like instant gratification for them and they know exactly where they’re at. I have recommended this place since I found it back when Paige was the owner, and now that her daughter Kris has taken over I still have the same stance! There’s no place better that I’d trust with my babies. So much so that even my mom started boarding her babies here. Great job to the team! You’ve gained a loyal customer for as long as I’m in the area!!!!

Don’t call Rover.. Call Sarah!!! I wish everyone were as reliable as Sarah’s team!! They are always there fur my German Shepherd and 2 kitty kats. My pets even appear younger, happier and very relaxed. My Sheppie is almost 8 and since Sarah’s team has been sitting for them, she is so playful and fun like a puppy!!! I am so grateful for all the time and attention they give.. And the pix they send!!! So creative and fabulous!!!! I feel so fortunate to have found these pet loving people!!!

Sarah and her team have been the best caretakers of our animals! We started out with one puppy and weekly walks and playdates for socialization and exercise. When we added another puppy, we added more walks and playdates. My doggies look forward to their time with Sarah, Monika and all the other excellent caregivers. The pics and commentary on their time away just makes my day!!

I cannot say enough about Sarah Sits-N-Stays! Look no further if you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies! We have been using Sarah's company since moving to Richmond in August 2022 and couldn't be happier. My partner and I have very hectic schedules, but we have never been unable to schedule a daily walk and lunch for our dog and cat (even sometimes at the last minute!). We have also used them for overnight visits during weekends we are away. We have never been concerned and always feel safe knowing Sarah's company is taking care of them. They even send pictures and updates every day summarizing their time together. Our dog Teddy is always happy (as you can see!) and well-exercised when we get home. Even our cat, who is not much of a "people person," has warmed up to the staff. We have had nothing but good experiences with all the walkers/sitters, but I would like to give a special shoutout to Madi who is our main walker. She is AMAZING and Teddy absolutely LOVES her! Seriously... look no further if you need a walker or sitter!

I have been using Sarah Sits-N-Stays for dog walking services ever since I adopted my dog last year. Sarah and all the walkers have been absolutely amazing. Sarah made sure my dog was paired with walkers who are comfortable with an energetic, young dog and my dog has gained so much confidence through her daily walks. The walkers are reliable, experienced and communicative. My dog and I are very thankful for all the help!

Could not be more pleased! I am a full time student. The walking schedule is tailored to mine and has been a lifesaver for me and my dog, Pippa! Sarah is organized and attentive—each walker sends an update and usually a picture of Pippa during walks/playtime. Everybody even gives my cat some love too! I highly recommend!

Finding Sarah Sits-N-Stays after moving to Richmond has been such a blessing for our little family! Our sitters have been so patient and understanding with our reactive dog, and always have great communication with us when we are out of town/when they are walking our dog. I would 100% recommend them for anyone who is a little nervous to leave your dog with new people.

Our pup absolutely LOVES his dog walk and play time with Monika, our Sarah Sits ‘N Stays dog professional! Tucker, our dog, now literally knows the word “Monika” and “friends” and he gets SO excited when it’s time for his walk and play time! He knows the time and day and gets so happy when it’s closer to pick up. He always comes back tired, and if you have a hyper dog like we do, you know how crucial that is for your own sanity. They do such a good job of taking care of him and prioritize safety. They are also very flexible, when Tucker was having some stomach issues, they totally understood we needed to cancel. We really trust Sarah Sits ‘N Stays with our beloved pup! Also, Monika takes the cutest pics of Tucker!

We started with Sarah Sits-N-Stays during the pandemic, figuring at least one person in our family should socialize. Since then, our doggo has had wonderful adventures every week and is SO excited to see the kind, capable folks who take him along. We're not too big on dogparks so Sarah Sits-N-Stays has keep our dog in the mix with other pups without stressing him (or me) out. I trust the team and love the updates they pass along after every visit. They definitely treat our pup with kindness and he couldn't be happier when he sees them. I feel like we really lucked out when we found Sarah!

I recently hired Sarah Sits-N-Stays to take care of my 16 year old cat while we were out of town for a week. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I received daily updates with photos, so I never had to worry about whether my cat was receiving the care and attention he needed. Sarah’s team was always on time and willing to go above and beyond if they saw something that needed to be done. Thanks to Sarah, I actually felt like I could relax on vacation for once. If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, I would absolutely recommend her services.

I am very happy I was referred to Sarah Hays, owner of Sarah Sits-N-Stays. I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with the care that the pet sitters have provided to my fur baby. With the Time to Pet application, I am able to upload all the important information regarding Taz's care, including vital medication she needs to have administered daily. They keep me informed with every visit and send me pictures so I can see how my little girl is doing. They have provided a peace of mind so when I need to travel I can do so with confidence. I highly recommend Sarah Sits-N-Stays!

Marla was wonderful! We were nervous about leaving our fur babies but she was great. We received daily messages and pictures to let us know how they were doing. Marla spent time with our pets and gave them love and attention to put them at ease. We highly recommend her. We are ready to book All for Cobalt again in a few weeks!

I cannot say enough good things about All For Cobalt! Marla is THE best! Traveling for a living can be difficult at times, and having a nervous dog can make it challenging to find the right person to provide care. From the moment Marla came over for the meet & greet, she somehow calmed my timid dog with just her presence. For the first time in 7 years, my dog felt comfortable approaching a stranger within minutes and she quickly fell in love with Marla! I’ve never met another pet caregiver with such a special gift than Marla, she treated my dog as if she were her own. Marla spent time getting to know me and my dog, she was pleasant, professional, trustworthy, and made my dog feel comfortable in a new surrounding. If you’re looking for the best of the best, look no further, Marla is the “top dog” and “leader of the pack” when it comes pet caregivers. I really cannot say enough good things about her, and wish she could travel with us!

I can’t say enough good things about Marla! She was incredibly communicative and honest and respectful. She did an excellent job in watching my wife and I’s two cats. Marla made sure to provide regular updates and, importantly, someone to engage with and play for our two cats. She did awesome in making sure our two cats were happy and healthy. Marla is amazing and I cannot recommend her enough!

Marla is wonderful and I am so glad to have found her to care for my two cats!!! She communicates with me daily via text and sends photos of my fur babies while I am away, which provides peace of mind. I would recommend Marla / All For Cobalt to anyone in need of pet sitting.

The best and most reliable pet sitter we've ever worked with! Marla has watched our 5 cats a few times now. We always come home to find them and our house in great shape. Her prices are very reasonable, and she spends lots of time with them during her visits and goes above and beyond sending us daily updates which we personally love. Marla takes the stress out of leaving our cats when we go away and I cannot recommend All for Cobalt enough!

Marla has been walking and pet sitting my two bostons for almost three years and she has been great. She really provides a premium service.

Marla was amazing with my two babies. My dogs are not left alone very often and suffer from separation anxiety when I do leave them. Marla went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of and loved. I have owned dogs for 20 years and she is THE ABSOLUTE BEST pet sitter we have ever had. We feel very fortunate to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!

We can’t recomend All For Cobalt highly enough! I was nervous about traveling but when we met I knew my 4 cats were in great hands. I could tell right away that Marla loved animals, was extremly experienced, and super detailed. She took notes on each kitty and there were backup plans to the backup plans. Marla sends daily updates and it was awesome to watch the shyest cats slowly fall in love with her through daily updates! I would give a 100 out of 5 stars if I could - it’s such a relief when your away that someone who genunily cares and has a ton of experience is coming by to spoil your little munchkins.

Marla is fantastic!!! All for Cobalt was recommended to me when we were trying to figure out what to do with our kitty, Billy, while on vacation this year. I had been completely stressed thinking I was going to have to drive home several times during the week to check on him. Let me just say, Marla is the best!! She visited Billy 4 times while we were gone, made sure he was fed, had water and cleaned his box. On top of that she stayed for about 45 mins, brought him toys and catnip, AND he loved her! Billy doesn’t like people; however we got pictures and videos of him not only on his own but him right there with Marla allowing her to pet him, play with him and brush him!! I am beyond pleased and will never have anyone else come to care for him! I highly recommend Marla with All for Cobalt!

I highly recommend All for Cobalt pet care! Can't say enough good things about the care provided to our older chihuahuas, one of which requires medication and a special diet. Marla took the time to get to know them, their routine, and us prior to pet sitting. Our dogs almost immediately took to her. She provided regular updates and pictures so that we had piece of mind regarding how the dogs were doing. You can tell she really cares about animals and treated our fur babies like family!

First would like to thank Martin and Marissa for an amazing job while watching my puppy over the week ! Had a business trip last minute I had to go on and with none of my family being able to watch my puppy I decided to try out Joyful Jitters. I am more than pleased with the experience and my puppy loved it as well ! Highly recommend this company and will be coming back. Thanks Martin and Marissa.

Going out of town helped. Booked with them from a recommendation of coworker. Fair rate and ease of mind. Good updates when requested. Will book again

GREAT experience! Caren walked our rambunctious puppy while we were out of town and he LOVED it!! I think he’s better behaved now than when we left:-)! Caren sent us updates twice a day with pictures and he was smiling in all of them;-)!! We will definitely use Caren again and I would highly recommend The Collar Club of Virginia. Caren is trustworthy, extremely professional and loves what she does!!!

Caren is the absolute best!! I hate leaving my dog with anyone because he’s been know to escape and I really can’t relax on vacation knowing this. Caren came over to do a walk through and introduction. She was so kind, professional and had everything you’d ever imagine needing from a dog walker/sitter. I was so at ease leaving our dog with Caren (she stayed at our house overnight and came do 3x visits throughout the day). Caren sends videos, photos and updates all day long and is very thorough if she has any questions about daily habits and routine. I didn’t worry once about our dog while he was being watched by Caren and that never happens! Don’t waste your time looking anywhere else. Collar Club of Virginia is A+++

Our family has a cat named George we love dearly. The children and I recently took a two week vacation and did not want to leave George in a boarding kennel or with friends or neighbors for that length of time. Having The Collar Club of Virginia come into our home was so much better and without a doubt I know that George was lovingly looked after. When Caren came over to meet George for the first time, he immediately took to her and she was so sweet to him. George is a cat who needs a lot of attention. Caren recognized that immediately and went right to his basket of toys. She was excellent from the start - Caren is beyond reliable, dependable and qualified. She sent us pictures of George while we were away with little notes letting us know how he was doing. She brought in our papers and adjusted the lights each day, took out our trash and even coordinated with a serviceman for some plumbing work while we were gone. Our home looked exactly the same as it did before we left it. Caren is the consummate professional but with the biggest heart for animals. I highly recommend The Collar Club of Virginia! Simply the best! Karen Ramey Monument Avenue

Caren is professional, kind, goes the extra mile for a wonderful experience for BOTH human and pet ! When we needed help transporting 2 kittens that we had adopted online to our home from the airport, Caren helped us out enormously! There were some issues with picking up the kittens, but Caren handled them very professionally and kindly. She was prompt, attentive, and very loving towards our kittens. We will definitely be working with Caren in the future and feel confident in trusting her with our pets. Thank you Collar Club of Va for a wonderful experience.

Collar Club of Virginia is prompt, reliable, and most of all trustworthy! Caren loved our dogs and took the best care of them. I almost don’t want to give her a good review so she doesn’t get all booked up—but that would be selfish! This is a top-notch business!

Collar club of Virginia is the best. Caren is super responsive and professional. I receive a text with a status update and a picture of my dog on her walk. I highly recommend her for private dog walking. Better hurry up and get your slot before she is booked all over Westhampton!

Caren has been a wonderful person to work with since we first met her and has been our go-to person for our pet-sitting needs! She came to our home to meet our pets before her first time sitting them, and made sure she understood all of their needs. When watching our pets she is easy to get into contact with and keeps us updated after each visit. I feel like I can not only trust her to take great care of our pets, but to also go above and beyond when we need it!

Caren is a professional. Absolutely reliable - she goes above and beyond. My 16 year old kitty takes insulin shots twice a day and requires extra TLC. Caren handled this with ease. I felt absolutely comfortable knowing that my kitty and my dog were safe and loved while we were away. Highly recommend!

Caren is excellent. Always responsive and attentive, I was never worried about my pet under Caren’s watch. She kept me up to date with frequent texts and pictures. Looking forward to using The Collar Club’s services again.

Caren is such a kind person and cares endlessly for animals. We enlisted Caren to care for our golden retriever Mosby for 2.5 days. We did one over night stay and twice daily walks. She constantly updated us with photos and comments on what he was up to. As first time customers she gave Mosby a couple of toys and even went through lengthy research to tell us the best vet in town (we are new to Richmond). Her branding and website are adorable and informative. All around an impressive operation she has going. We will continue to use her for sure. -Fleming and Tyler Boyd

I have used the services of Kim and Bow Wow Kitty for many years and have always been thrilled with the quality of care she (and her team) have provided. Everything from walking and feeding our dogs to spending quality time with them, sending reassuring text and photos throughout our time away from home, etc. I have always been able to rely on Kim's attention to detail and know my dogs are in good hands when we are not at home. I highly recommend Bow Wow Kitty to anyone who asks.

I had a new puppy and did not feel comfortable leaving him just anywhere while I worked. Bow Wow Kitty is wonderful. Kim, the owner, loves all animals and knows how to work with them in a positive manner. I feel she not only looks after my puppy (River) but has also helped me train him. River gets so excited when I pull up to her home. She takes him on play dates with other dogs, sends me photos throughout the day, and gives me advice when I ask. I couldn't me more happy and I am so thankful I found Bow Wow Kitty!

Bow Wow Kitty has been helping take care of my furry family for years. Kim and her staff are very professional and care for my pets as if they are their own. I have a very anxious rescue dog who I prefer not to board, so being able to keep him at home with a pet sitter reduces anxiety for him and me! I highly recommend Bow Wow Kitty.

Kim has been my pet sitter for years. She’s the only person I trust to care for my fur-kids. She texts me updates about my brood to calm my nerves anytime I have to leave town. She is always ready to help anytime I’ve needed her. Bow Wow Kitty is a must use pet sitting service!

Kim is THE BEST. She is always reliable and takes amazing care of my puppy Lucy. She is a wonderful resource and knows everything there is to know about dogs. She truly cares and Lucy is so excited for her visits! So glad we have Kim in our lives!

We have been clients of Bow Wow Kitty for many years because Kim has our complete trust in coming into our home and caring for our kitties when we are out of town. We are grateful for the peace of mind her service gives us. We also appreciate all the little things she has done to get to know and accommodate the individual needs of each of our cats.

We love Bow Wow Kitty. We have animals with special needs and this company does such an amazing job taking care of our babies! We go out of town for weeks and feel so good that we never have to worry about our babies. Very professional, responsive, and loving. Just over all amazing!

I have a slightly neurotic and high strung female schnoodle and Kim has a magic touch to calm her. She has been helping me care for my Luna, and Kelsey before Luna, for at least the pass 6 years. Dependable and reasonable prices. She loves to walk with the dogs and is good at making them feel special.

This is a great place! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It's as if they do a better job watching over my pet than I would do. Thanks for your great care you provide and keep up the fantastic job! Bow Wow Kitty is a must if you need pet sitting in and around the Richmond area.

Kim is absolutely amazing! She has such a strong love for all animals, and she does an outstanding job taking care them.

Kenny has been an amazing dog-sitter for us, taking care of our dogs whenever we're away. The dogs love him, and his reliability and caring nature make him our top choice. Thanks!

Kenny walked our dog for a year. He was a consummate professional and obvious dog lover. Our dog always looked forward to his walks with Kenny. My wife and I could rest easy at work knowing Kenny would be taking care of him while we were away. He was easy to work with and always clear and concise in his communications with us. Finally, he accommodated our ever changing schedules with ease. Our only regret is that Kenny can’t move with us. We recommend him and his services most highly.

Kenny is wonderful, and our pets adore him. He takes loving care of our dog, cat, guinea pig, and parakeets whenever we travel, which we do several times a year and often for weeks at a time. We appreciate that while he cares for our pets, he's also able to keep an eye on our house in general, watering plants, and collecting newspapers and mail. Kenny is very reliable, and responds promptly when we e-mail him from our travels. We and our pets are very satisfied Fan Sitter customers!

We had Kenny take care of our cats off and on during our nine month stay in the Fan District this past year. Kenny took superb care of our two little critters and our apartment when we traveled. He even volunteered to help us after we moved back to Pennsylvania by making sure our mail was been picked up. Just a great guy doing a wonderful service that put our mind at ease when we were out of town. My wife and I recommend him most highly.

Kenny is absolutely fantastic. I am so grateful to live in an area where I have access to his services! My husband and I adopted a senior rescue dog who can be very difficult, due to past abuse. Kenny has been AWESOME in working with Meyer, and I know that I never have to worry while I’m out of town. I recommend Kenny wholeheartedly!!!

I have been a mid-day dog walk client of The Fan Sitter / Kenny for over a year. The service has been exceptional. Kenny handles my dog well, is very reliable, and is flexible in meeting my needs and schedule. I would highly recommend The Fan Sitter / Kenny to others.

We were nervous to leave our frail cat for a vacation recently but Kenny was excellent. He was extremely responsive to my questions and I felt that I would be alerted immediately if there was an issue while we were away. I cannot thank Kenny enough for giving me peace of mind for such a beloved pet. I highly recommend the Fan Sitter!

I moved to Richmond 3 years ago and was lucky enough to find Kenny Williams aka The Fan Sitter. He is extremely prompt in getting back to you. He has been responsible for taking care of my 15 year labradoodle many many times and always confirms if Tag is still taking this medication or that one. One trip, Kenny emailed me letting me know he didn't see the peanut butter Tag liked, so he went out and bought some. Kenny is conscientious and very professional. I encourage any pet owner to use The Fan Sitter!

I've hired The Fan Sitter to walk my 2 dogs for about 3 years now. I cannot recommend Kenny highly enough. He is dependable! He is very flexible - he allows me to add a walk - change the time - cancel at virtually a moments notice. His rates are reasonable. I am so glad he was recommended to me.

Kenny has been our cat sitter since we moved near the Fan, and he's been great. Reliable, fast response to communication, totally professional and very nice to the pets. Highly recommended!

My wife and I began using Premier at the beginning of this year. Their service has been incredible. Corgi Bob and his kitty brother Mallow have been in the most excellent of hands. Premier and its employees have always been on time and each visit comes with photos, an email about their adventures and a report about what was taken care of. Martha has been an angel when it comes to helping me fix my scheduling mistakes. I cannot rave about this company or its employees enough!!

I have used Premiere Petsitting and Dog Walking RVA 5 times and have been extremely happy with the service they provide. I always feel at ease and have “peace of mind” knowing that my 14 year old antisocial cat is well taken care of by several different pet sitters. I am always updated every day when they arrive and leave with notes as to what has been done for her and her wellbeing. I would highly recommend this company to everyone needing a reliable, good pet sitter.

Have been using Premier Pets for years and have nothing but great things to say about them. On one visit, my cat was sick and the sitter, in communication with me (in Mexico) and the the Owner, Martha Geiger, took my cat to the emergency vet after hours. Everything turned out fine.

Premiere was a great help to me with my dog EV. Their Time to Pet app is a way to keep track of visits and get a nice summary of your pet's behavior. You also get some lovely photos. The staff was always communicative and kind. I would absolutely use them again.

Martha and her team are the best! They provide such great service and peace of mind when we travel. Their communication is excellent. We love all of the pictures they send of our kitties. We've used other pet services in the past and Premiere Petsitting really goes the extra mile. I know our fur babies are in great hands while we are away! One less worry. Thank you! Would highly recommend.

We were nervous about leaving our two cats for 8 days. They are very attached to us and haven't been around other people very much. Martha, the professional and compassionate owner of Premiere Petsitting, assigned cat-lover Kerensa as our main sitter. As soon as she came for the meet and greet, our worries dissipated. She was friendly and warm - we knew our kitties would be in good hands. She, along with another lovely sitter, Lillian, sent us twice daily updates with photos. It was such a relief not to worry how our kitties were doing - the reports we received put our minds at ease during our trip. Martha utilizes a mobile app for her business that makes it easy to check on your schedule, messages, and invoices. I would not hesitate to recommend Premiere Petsitting to anyone. We will definitely use Martha and her excellent team again in the future!

This was the first time I've used a pet sitting service & I was a little concerned about how my cat would handle someone else taking care of him. I needn't have worried! Katie took such great care of our fur baby that I think he was somewhat disappointed upon our return!..lol. I especially appreciated the report & pics after every visit. Many thanks to Martha who was able to accommodate my last minute request & enabled us to really relax and enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend!

Our family has been using Premiere Petsitting for years. Their portal makes scheduling and communication a breeze, and the reports from the sitters, with lots of photos, are always informative and friendly. They clearly care about the animals they are taking care of.

Martha and her entire team are just truly top-notched, particularly for very busy people and families. They care for our dogs so well and have an app that makes scheduling and updates easy, 24/7. Would recommend to anyone!

We hired Martha and Premiere Petsitting to watch our cats while we were on a 26 day vacation. Before we left Martha came over and took notes on all the details about care and feeding of our cats and how to gain entry to our house. We received daily email updates from Premiere including photos. In addition, they watered our plants and collected the mail. We were extremely pleased and will hire them again next month. I highly recommend them.

I started bringing my 2 year old beagle rescue here a few weeks ago and she really seems to love it. The staff genuinely seem to love the dogs and I know she’s being taken good care of. It’s helped her socialization with other dogs and people too. Also glad to have an option where she can be boarded at the same place when needed.

The staff are very attentive. My dog isn't much of a "dog's dog," but she LOVES her Dogtopia people. I love the special tou he's like the themed pictures and daily treats. Pricing is great, and spa services are well timed. My dog comes home so very happy after each boarding experience. Staff makes everything so easy!

This is truly an amazing place to take your dog for socialization, playful, exercise, and safe boarding. I have seen tremendous benefits for my senior lab mix who needed two CCL surgeries one on each leg. The second one did not go so well and the vet thought that they would need to re-operate. We chose to try to strengthen his legs by exercising him. Once he was strong enough, I decided to try out Dogtopia to allow him to run around and play with other dogs to see how this would help. After enrolling him into Dogtopia Play-school, he was able to exercise and run around with the dogs during the day which I attest allowed him to recover without another operation! He is now as active as he was when he was a puppy and is fully recovered from his second surgery! I cannot thank the owners and their staff enough for everything they have done to help my dog recover and have a safe place to socialize and board with other dogs. They pay close attention to your pets needs and group dogs together with like-minded pups to encourage play at your dog’s pace wherever they are in their life. I highly recommend you stop by for a consultation visit and see for yourself how much fun and how healthy Dogtopia is for your pups!

I really love it so far. It feels affordable for what is offered and the care and attention the dogs receive. The staff learned my dog’s name fairly quickly, gave me feedback on her behavior and experience in the first week, and I love that there’s a 2 hr rest period for ALL the dogs. I feel like my dog is safe and cared for.

Dogtopia of Chesterfield is excellent! My girlfriend takes her 2 dogs here, and they take excellent care of Zoey and Logan. Logan loves the pool, and Zoey loves all the play and naps her little heart can cram in a day. The chance to play with lots of dogs has helped them both tremendously with socialization and their high energy. I've thing I really like about their setup is that they have several rooms, with different energy levels, so if your pup is a little shy or high energy, they'll be moved around to a room that matches their energy. If you have a high energy dog, or one that could use more time around dogs to learn how to "dog", I highly recommend Dogtopia, both the Chesterfield and Midlothian locations

Best at Boarding and Caring for our Pet when we cannot care for her Dogtopia puts our mind at ease and it's Zoey home away from home. Go check them out you and your pet will be glad you did.

They keep the dog area very clean and the staff are very friendly. I had Max a German Shepard brushed out they did an excellent job. Max loves it there.

Love taking my dog to this particular Dogtopia. The staff is amazing. They feel like family. Truly dog (and people!) lovers. My dog is always so happy when we get there, and happy (and exhausted!!) when I pick him up!! It makes me feel at peace know he’s safe and loved…

My dog was attacked here and nothing was ever communicated to me the whole time. Huge lack of accountability on the staff and management let me know they have too many dogs to do anything about it. They told me he was “playing hard”

I love how all of the staff treats my dog as if it were their own. My dog is always overly anxious when I pull into their driveway and can't wait to go inside. I love the treat days and fun things their do every month and especially the activity calendar which shows all they do to make the dogs happy. I love the hours they are open that fits into any schedule. I love the bath days as it makes it easy to keep my dog clean. The extra services offered are extremely helpful for the dog owner. I love the extra things Dogtopia does for the neighborhood schools and shelters and gives the dog owners the opportunity to participate in the giving which is a feel good moment. Simply speaking, I love everything about Dogtopia of Chesterfield,

This five star review is for the groomer at Pets at Play (can’t speak to daycare or boarding, as I’ve never done either). I have a 9 year old doodle and trust me, finding a groomer who is not only willing to groom your doodle but also does it well and with a good attitude (many get annoyed) is rare. I always leave happy! He does a great job and in my experience $100 for ~the works~ is affordable. So glad to have found him!

Our little dog loves boarding here. She plays with her little dog friends and gets meals on time. Grooming here is first rate. We bring her in every six weeks. There's a new groomer and he's great

My dog loves Pets at Play! I have been taking Ollie to Pets at Play for daycare, overnight boarding and grooming for over a year now. He is a sweet but sensitive dog. Pets at Play is the only dog boarding and grooming place in RVA that he enjoys going to and being at. The groomer is always very thoughtful about grooming Ollie the way I like. She called me before she groomed Ollie just to confirm she knew what I wanted from his cut. Very blessed to have Pets at Play in our lives

When I tell you my baby loves this place!!! He is a mamma's boy, if he doesn't know you he will not go near you. BUT when we come to Pets at Play he runs right through the door to the day care and grooming! He comes home tired from day care so I know he is playing and having fun!!

Only been here a few times but I am now a loyal customer! They must be doing something right, because now every time I walk my dog he tries to pull me in the direction of Pets At Play. He is so ecstatic every time we go, I am starting to bring him there just for fun in addition to out of necessity! Do note: if your dog is over 70 lbs they won’t be able to be boarded overnight due to kennel sizes, but they do wonderfully accommodating larger dogs in daycare! My pup loves Pets At Play!

Came here for their grooming services and was not disappointed! They were polite and informative when I called with questions and were super friendly in person. And they made my pup adorable! Will definitely return for future grooming services and daycare services.

My westie,, Tucker loves this place to play. I think he has a girlfriend there. They are kind, courteous and true animal lovers. This is the only place he’ll play with other dogs as he never plays outside my home with any other dogs male or female.

I booked grooming for my dog a month ago and was very clear (in writing) about his large size (~100 pounds) - they even said it was fine in writing. I drove 40 minutes to get there and as soon as I was pulling into my neighborhood after drop off, the groomer called to say that my dog was too heavy to fit on the table/a leg of the table was breaking. He made sure to mention that it was not my dog's fault at all/he was fine. He said he has been trying to get new equipment for grooming from management but they're refusing. What type of table doesn't hold 100 pounds? I drove for 2 hours total between 7:00am and 9:00am all because they couldn't provide the groomer the correct equipment to provide grooming services to my dog. It's not his fault in my opinion, but if he knew that size would be an issue, they should have let me know well in advance, as I had booked it a month ago. My dog used to go to Pets at Play about two years ago and there were not issues then (and he was around the same weight). Very disappointed in the lack of communication and lack of resources to provide grooming services. A word of advice to management: do not advertise grooming for dogs of all sizes/approve grooming for larger dogs if you cannot actually do it.

We used to be faithful Pets at Play customers for over 3 1/2 years, having taken our 4 year old since she was a puppy, and our 6 month old for a solid year at least two days a week for each. Over that time, we’ve provided them thousands of dollars in revenue, somewhere around $8k-$9k between daycare, baths and the occasional boarding. In March of 2019, we sent our older dog in for her regular daycare appointment and requested she get a bath and her nails trimmed. When we got her home, we noticed she was licking her paw quite a bit and saw one of her nails was badly damaged, split, and beginning to ooze pus. No one at Pets at Play called or told us her nail was damaged, even though they said her nails were cut. We emailed the owner with our concerns and received a call back from an employee, who specifically told me she was calling as to not cause any confusion, but they could not get their story straight. To me, it sounds like they didn’t want a paper trail of any potential responsibility. One person said the nails were cut, then the groomer said they did not need to be cut. If the nails got cut, why did no one tell us they damaged her nail? If they did not need to get cut, that obviously means you checked them all, right? And if you saw one was damaged, why were we never told? Whatever the case, our dog went to daycare just fine, but left with a badly damaged nail which required sedation and surgery the next day to the tune of $275 in vet bills. Whether our dog’s nails were cut, Pets at Play was negligent at best, and deceptive at worst in trying to conceal or claim ignorance of her injury. Finally, to add insult to injury (literally), I went into their online system that weekend to cancel the next two daycare reservations (because our dog needed to be at home to recover from surgery), and they had deleted all of her reservations for the next year without telling us. I never said anything to them, so why would they delete our standing reservations? It doesn’t seem like a good business practice to alienate loyal customers as we have been for years. The way Pets at Play treated our dog, my wife and me is no way to treat loyal customers. We’ve always enjoyed taking our dogs to Pets at Play for daycare and boarding, but I no longer have any faith in how they treat us or our dogs. We will not be returning, nor can I recommend their services.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful PETs at PLAY is! Dixie knows when I say "want to go see your friends" exactly where she is going and doesn't even look back when we hit the door! That is how I know, PETs at PLAY is the absolute BEST. Dixie has only ever stayed the night in her entire 11 years with my parents, PETs at PLAY and me. I LOVE the emailed pictures throughout the day of her literally smiling and having fun! I am particular because she is such an important part of my life and choosing a daycare and place to board seemed impossible until we experienced PETs at PLAY. Dixie's excitement when talking about, going to and spending time here is exactly why PETs at PLAY will be the only place we go!
