Cat Sitters in Mecklenburg County, VA

Awesome place. Always happy with our experiences here. Our pups enjoy their time there.

The best boarding and days facility around. They take great care of your pets. Definitely recommended.

Lake Gaston Dog Boarding came highly recommended by a neighbor and on facebook. We had to leave town for a business trip. We have used another boarding kennel in the past. They were expensive and just OK also they would not let our dogs stay together. This was not the case with LGDB. They were terrific. We booked a double run and the dogs could stay together. Picked them up this morning our dogs were not real excited to see us. I think they really enjoyed their stay. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely use their services next time we have to leave our dogs behind. Thank you LGDB for taking such good care of our pets.

They watched willow there's while we went visiting no complaints pics where great too.thankyou

Can't find people who care more for your furbabies! They love from The heart! Our baby has separation anxiety and they melt his heart with kindness! Love them all!!!

Our first time boarding EVER! We were so nervous and unsure about leaving the babies. My doodles REALLY loved Lake Gaston Dog Boarding! The staff was really great at communication, providing photos, and asked a lot of questions regarding their care! They made sure to help us (my entire family) feel safe and comfortable leaving our fur babies in their care. Definitely recommend and WILL use them again!

Great place to take your pups for daycare or overnight. They took excellent care of ours and they come home tired! Highly recommend!

Love the care and the exercise that my silver lab gets. They love him like their own.

I loved how everything was set up to cater to ANY fur baby. The staff there were the best. We took two babies there for a weekend. They were looking happy an playing. No signs of trauma or abuse. An you know as a fur parent. You can just tell. My babies didn’t want to leave no matter how happy they were to see us. They will be going back. Very soon. I give them 100 stars.

A few years ago we boarded our dog here during an emergency. When we got her back she was obviously ready to go home but was in good shape/health. The employees were very nice and took her on relatively short notice. She's not friendly with other dogs and they said they would keep her segregated from the other dogs. Was impressed.

Always take both of my fur babies there for everything. The staff there is amazing and really care for the animal's. The ladies at the front desk are very nice and helpful as well. Can't say anything negative about this place.

Had my dog groomed there. The girl was new and she did a fair job but she wasn't cut short enough and it took 4hrs. I understand that she wanted to get to know my dog but she really needs to pick up her pace. I will try again and will be more specific about how short i want her cut.

When my dog went into labor late Saturday afternoon I couldn't get any vets in the area to even answer the phone. No one works weekends or nights in this area. Luckily I had established at Lacrosse Veterinary and got their emergency phone and was able to contact Dr. Jenna Eden's. She went out of her way to help me. She and her staff saved both the mom and the pup. I couldn't have been happier.

Staff very nice and accommodating. Only problem was instructions on sign about what to do upon arrival was not in a good location. Most customers didn't have a clue of their covid procedures. Just need to get sign outside, not stuck on the inside of a window no one looks at

They treat ALL animals really good....I have been taking my pets there for years...GREAT PLACE AND GREAT PEOPLE....I FEEL COMFORTABLE AND AT EASE WHEN I BRING MY DOG TO THEM...CAN'T PRAISE THEM ENOUGH.

This is a great place for your fur babies/children. I boarded my kitten and she received the best care.

They do a very good job on grooming I take my dog out every month

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! They stay pretty booked up so u might wanna book in advance!

Super sweet people! They genuinely care for your pets and their families!

Tried to charge me 150.00 based on quote and not services rendered. Luckily I was paying attention.

We have used All Breed two times to watch our cat while we were gone, and were more than satisfied each time. I love that they send updates with pictures at each visit. Great company and great people.

We have used All Breed Pet care several times for our cat. They have always gone above and beyond but this time was exceptional. We left our cat in the teams very capable hands for two weeks while we traveled to Antarctica. Needless to say any of our fears were addressed quickly. They come and interview you and your pet to understand the needs. Then every time they came there was a detailed message and many photos. Two weeks is a long time to leave a cat alone but the ladies that took care of her were amazing. Can’t say enough good things about them and the service

An absolute blessing of a company. After using All Breed Care Dog Walking and Pet Sitting, I know I can go on vacation knowing my pet is in extremely safe and loving hands. I can’t recommend them enough!

All Breed Care has been life changing. Their sitters have all been reliable, kind, and caring. I feel so much more confident traveling knowing they are taking care of my dog and home! The whole team has streamlined communication with their mobile app and web-based scheduling system. It is so convenient to keep track of feeding schedules, visits, and other information. I also like that sitters can see previous conversations. Again, it makes traveling so convenient. Thanks for offering such great service!

Carolyn and the All Breed Care team are the best and most reliable sitters. No matter what the special needs of the animals you leave in their care they take care of it. I trust them with my home and my furry family and always feel confident that when I return everything will be in order. During All Breed Cares visits I get great pictures of my pets and they always have a big smile of their faces, assuring me that they are happy and taken care of. You will not be disappointed if you choose All Breed Care!

All Breed has been a fantastic find for us after moving to Wake Forest last June. I have never used a pet sitting service before and am so happy that a neighbor recommended them to me. Shannon has taken care of our cat every time that we have gone out of town and she has been wonderful with her. I love the pictures and information she sends to us after after every visit. It is such reassurance to know that my cat will always be taken care of!

For our first experience with All Breed Care Pet Sitting it went very well. The first meet and greet we had prior to us going out of town was great for us learning who the sitters were going to be. When we met them they were very through with learning as much as possible about our digs and their needs. They seemed very professional and caring. While on our trip we felt at ease with all the updates and pictures we had from the sitters that took care of our dogs. We were very satisfied with our experience with All Breed Care Pet Sitting and we will definitely look to them next time we have to leave our dogs at home in the future.

We have a cat who is getting advanced in years. He is extremely people oriented and always got depressed for lack of a better word when we went on vacation. Rather than take him to a kennel we have been using All Breed Care's services for the last few years. Our cat gets extremely anxious when he has to leave the house so having someone come out to our residence to spend time with him while we are away is invaluable. Kathryn at ABC sends us daily updates and pictures of our boy while we are away and we always can't wait to get them. All in all I love this service and can't recommend them highly enough. It's also great having the peace of mind of somebody we trust visiting the house daily while we are out.

We recently relied on All Breed Care to visit with our often anxious golden retriever and look out for our independent cats while we were away for a few days. The team did an outstanding job of meeting the animals' needs, as well as our need for reassurance that all was going well. Their ability to anticipate and respond with ease to the animals' needs, and willingness to help in really thoughtful ways allowed us to return to a calm and happy home.

All Breed Care is fantastic to work with and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog for the weekend for the first time because I knew she would be in good hands. She was walked regularly, well fed and got plenty of attention! I would highly recommend All Breed Care and will certainly be using them again in the future.

My dogs absolutely love these groomers. They take so much time in making sure they have the best visit. My dog's always look amazing when I pick them up. Prices are very reasonable when it comes to grooming and staff is absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend.

Great place to take your little loved ones. My Lola stayed for 5 days while we were at the beach, she acted like she didn't want to leave at first. Very respectful customer service. Everything is well maintained and clean. Spacious fenced in back yard for them to play. Highly highly recommend this place of business.

A friend recommended Betsy's for my two precious fur babies. First being able to take them early and allow them to stay until I'm off of work Is such a convenience! Second everyone there is so kind and friendly. Most importantly they love my babies and treat them like their own!! When it comes to their grooming needs it's perfection. I would recommend Betsy's to anyone who wants their fur babies well taken care of!!

We used Betsy's for boarding 4 of our dogs and couldn't be more pleased with them! I absolutely love the way they do things here. Our dog were there for 5 nights, and I have no doubt they were cared for just as if they were home. The place is very clean and professional. They clean religiously, and it shows! Extremely reasonable pricing for boarding AND grooming. We opted to have our 4 bathed/nails done on their last day boarding, and the staff done a great job! It's 2.5 days later, and our dogs still smell, look, and feel amazing! I would 10/10 recommend Betsy's to anyone, and I will absolutely be using them again for boarding and grooming! Thank you to Betsy's for being awesome!

Great place to board your pet! Our dog is picky and she actually got along well with the staff. They have spacious areas for the animals to sleep and a fenced in yard for walks. They will Aldo send you pictures of your pet if you ask. The pricing is moderate as well.

They are great they know how to cut a long hair dachshounds and she looks awesome

I have a blind, old, and very grumpy dog! They were able to get him groomed and had him looking fabulous! The staff was excellent, helpful, and very understanding. I can tell they took amazing care of my baby and was very gentle! I highly recommend going to Betsy boarding and grooming!

They treated my Coco like she was their own. They were very caring. They did a wonderful job with her haircut, so I am very pleased and I will take her back again.

Diane is so great with our Teddy. She does a perfect job with all of hair. Thank you so much.

Amazing staff and they are very kind and friendly. They truly care about your pets and are very gentle with them as well as treat them like family. I definitely recommend going here for all of your pet grooming needs.

Nothing but GREAT things to say! Scott and his team have done wonders! I sent my dramatic and stubborn 70lbs mix, and my shy 60 lbs doberman to be trained. Prior to their training I was unable to walk my mix breed dog around other animals due to his aggressive reactions. After 3 weeks in training I walked him around barking animals, chickens, etc and he didn't react! My shy doberman turned into a super confident queen who aimed to please and was very reactive to commands. I can't describe how much both dogs have changed for the better! I cannot recommend Next Level Kennels enough. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!

Just picked up my 3 yr old husky from their kennel service. He got dropped off late Monday and we picked him up early Saturday. We payed over $300 for 4 full days and a nail trim. He was covered with diarrhea. I get it that dogs get that when away from home. But his whole backside was covered. I don't know how long it was there. They didn't even try to spray it off. His white fur is stained and I bet he has a rash. He was calmer and in better condition when we rescued him from the pound then he is right now. They acted like they did us a favor by cutting his nails, when we payed them to. Not to mention we TIPPED them $30 at drop off to ensure this wouldn't happen. I have never written a bad review before today. But my dogs whole backside was covered with dried diarrhea that they didn't even attempt to spray off with a hose. This picture is after washing his behind twice.

Today was Ryder & I’s first visit to Next Level Kennels in Oxford,NC! i was very impressed with staff members, as well as them taking good care of my boy today during his grooming/bathing appointment! With Ryder being quite a handful & full of energy he loved it! i will definitely be coming back! You can always tell if a dog liked somewhere they went, and he came out so excited! thank you for your time & service for me and my boy today!

Don’t even know where to start. These 2 ppl that were there are the rudest emotionless ppl I’ve ever met. Ik animal ppl are friendly and love to talk bc Im one of them. I didn’t even get a report on how they were at the kennel. They both came out like they were running from the devil. They were pulling so hard to get out of there. I would never recommend them or bring my animal there again. So much more. I’m done. The ordeal is over. You see they are my dogs as well. I just didn’t know about the chains. I was flustered over the treatment I received. I stand by my review. You answered me with rudeness and attitude. People please be aware. You don’t want them caring for your pets

We recently brought our dog Dakota here for training and the trainers did a great job with him. Due to constant confinement by the previous owner, he was afraid of all new people and things. Because of all the hard work and care by the trainers, he has really come out of his shell. He listens very well to us and is much more willing to meet people and try new things. I'm very grateful for everything the trainers did for Dakota and very much recommend Next Level Kennels to anyone that needs help training their dog.

We have been please with the care our dog has received at Next Level Kennels. I recommend them to anyone seeking to board their pet.

Next Level Kennel is truly next level!. They took great care of our pups. Easy check in and check out process, everyone there really cares their guests. Our pups came back to happy and healthy.

10 STARS!!!! We approached Next Level in February 2022 to help us be better fur parents for our then 11-month-old golden retriever Mia. Mia was so much fun, so cute, so spoiled, so loved, so smart – but she pulled on walks, chewed sticks and furniture legs, dug holes on the yard regardless of how many walks we went on and she would jump up on people and other dogs who came to visit. We thought by loving on her that she would magically become a well behaved, well-mannered golden – but we were creating so much confusion for her about what was acceptable. Next Level accepted Mia in early February for what was to be a 3-week intensive training program on site in Henderson. As soon as I arrived I knew we had made the best investment possible for Mia and for our family. Their staff was professional and informative and stayed in touch with us daily with updates, photos, videos and even general texts with updates. Mia ended up with a UTI and needed to go to the vet while she was with the Next Level team and we were very appreciative of how they navigated it all (and we are even going to go back to their vet for a procedure and Scott from Next Level offered to go with us - that's customer service you wont find anywhere!). Mia was stubborn at first with her training, but the team at Next Level knew what to do and through their patience and depth of knowledge, she made enormous progress. She is now home and is the dog we always knew she would be. She walks calmly on leash, comes when we call, will sit and stay in the down position for as long as we ask, and she seems genuinely much calmer and confident. Without Next Level I know that we would have a frustrated puppy on our hands who wanted to please us but didn’t know how. And we would still be trying to figure it out but not have the time or knowledge to get where we wanted/needed to be as dog owners. The investment in Mia through Next Level is something that we are so glad that we did. It is quite honestly the best money we have spent in a long time and we know we can always call or text and get additional advice anytime if needed. AND - We also have a groomer and place that she can board if we ever need it. We are willing to drive the hour from Raleigh to Henderson any day because the attention and care that Mia received was like no other, we have experienced. Thank you, Scott, Christina and the Next Level Team! The Ferlito Family March 2022

I bought Nimitz on June 1rst. he is now 4 1/2 months old. Nimitz just came back from getting his final parvo/distemper shot. After a complete exam and evaluating his temperament and personality the vet told me that Nimitz is EXACTLY what a true German Shepherd is meant to really be and is ready to go to work training as a service dog😁😁😁. His training started last Monday. She said so far he is a perfect breed example of GSD. Thank you Next Level Kennels. Scott and Caitlyn are both great.

My dog loves her handler when I leave her for 4 day's or more.

I cant say enough great things about Dog Gone Happy! The staff to start with is exceptional! Savanna, Michelle, Kendall, Jordan to name a few are all so welcoming and they truly love your pet as it is their own! My dog Adeya has her friends now that she cant wait to see and what could typically be stressful for our pooches is something she leaps out of the car with joy for! Dog Gone Happy cares about keeping their facility clean, keeping your pet cared for, healthy and safe! They take their time to assess your dogs needs and if there are any behaviors that need tending to. They are on your side ready and willing to make your experience BEST IN CLASS! Thank you Dog Gone happy for taking such great care of my Adeya!

This is the second time they commit a “human error” for scheduling and even had the audacity to still want to charge me for THEIR error both times! I scheduled my dog for grooming 4 days prior to her scheduled day. They weren’t able to pull up my account profile but that employee stated that they remembered who my dog was and they claimed they would ensure my dog was in the books for grooming. When I arrive for drop off, I spoke with an associate named Ashley and specified that I am here to drop off my dog for GROOMING. She said “ok, we will be right out.” There wasn’t any communication on their part that my dog was in the system as daycare. So to my surprise when I go pick her up and call the curbside number they tell me “will will just be charging you for a half day.” And I’m confused at that point, knowing that I specifically said grooming services both when I called to make the appointment AND at drop off. A manager—the owners daughter, then comes out and seems apologetic about the situation but still wanted to charge me for the service my dog received. She goes back and forth about the charges and I state, “how does this fall on me when you claim it’s a mistake on y’all’s system? That doesn’t make any sense and I shouldn’t be charged for a service I didn’t consent to.” She then stated that she never said it fell on me but still implied that I would be charged for the service. I stood my ground and reiterated as the client that I shouldn’t be made responsible for THEIR error. The manager, stated “I won’t charge you this time but if this happens again I will have to charge you. We have a lot of new people who aren’t the best communicators. I’m sorry but this is a human error. I’m sorry if you’re upset but I will make it right for you this time.” That whole interaction felt borderline apologetic and hostile. Will not be taking my dog back here for any further services. I really liked this place for my pet but the last few interactions have not been focused on customer satisfaction— poor communication between staff/clients, poor conflict resolution with word choices (making customers feel like they should still pay for a service they didn’t agree to), etc. Serving customers is one of the most important aspects of running a business because customers help keep a business operating. A dedication to serving customers can help establish trust and loyalty, which may increase profitability and brand awareness.

We have been taking our dog here for years for boarding. I can tell that the staff cares about him. He is excited to go and we pick him up happy and healthy. Thank you for taking such good care of our Beau 🖤 …

She was reluctant and resistant the first week or two, now her fear has subsided and she runs up to the employees. You can tell when your dog is smiling-love that smile..

I can’t say enough good things about Dog Gone Happy! The staff is amazing!! Every single person that works there is a phenomenal human being that truly loves the doggos in their care. Our German Shepherd, Levi, has been going to doggy daycare at DGH a few times a week for almost a year. He’s anxious and a bit reactive with other dogs so he doesn’t do group play but the staff does individual play with him. Levi gets so much attention and love from everyone there. Levi gets boarded at DGH too; he was just there for 9 days while we were out of town. I didn’t worry about him while we were gone because I knew he was well taken care of. We also utilize DGH’s spa services. It saves us so much time booking him for a bath and nail trim while he’s already there for daycare or boarding and their prices are competitive. We love getting the occasional photo of him; you can see how much he is enjoying himself.

This is the kindest and most wonderful place to bring your pup for unconditional love! Every team member is so knowledgeable, attentive, and treats my boy Hank with such care and affection. Hank would leap out of the car with his tail wagging as soon as I parked in their parking lot! They are experts in my dog's anxious temperament and give him individual attention since he was too nervous to play with other dogs. This type of dedicated care for nervous dogs is, understandably, pretty difficult to find. I've been a customer here for years but had to pause after being laid off from my job in Raleigh. The owners brought me to tears with their kindness and understanding, and I can't wait to bring him back. (Hank can't wait either!) Do yourself and your pups a favor and bring them to the most nurturing environment with the best staff you could ever ask for. We miss you, Dog Gone Happy Team, and we'll see you soon!

I absolutely love dog gone happy. My dog is a very anxious dog and sadly can’t be around other big puppies but he gets lots of love from everybody there. I found this place at the last minute when my old boarding place couldn’t take my Pluto boy in. Pluto is definitely my heart/soul dog I got him when I was 19 and they put up with me when I call to check up on him, I am definitely becoming a helicopter dog mom🤦‍♀️.

Best daycare ever!!! Kodi has been going here since he was 3 months old. He is the happiest dog when he knows he's going to "school". He knows exactly where he's going right when we get off the exit. The employees all love him like their own. He doesn't even want to leave when I get there to pick him up. The reviews (1 star) are all written on the same day and they try to say the facility is dirty and smells. Those reviews are all LIES. They clean non-stop. If it smells like anything, it smells like cleaner. The boarding suites are wonderful. If the pictures below don't show how much my boy loves this place I don't know what will convince you. He is 2 and 1/2 years old and he cannot imagine not going to see all his dog friends every week (at least 2 times a week). Thank you for always taking such great care of my Bear!

10 STARS!!! Incredible staff always go above and beyond for your furry friend. My dog absolutely loves it and can’t get enough- starts barking when I pull into the parking lot! We’ve used DGH for both doggie daycare and boarding and I can promise you that you can leave your doggos in the care of these wonderful people and not have to worry about a thing.

Best dog daycare and boarding available in Raleigh!! Staff is wonderful!!! They are friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I love getting updates while I am away! LuLu is loved and well taken care of without a worry at all. The staff spend time with LuLu and love her very much. They are extremely kind and always have amazing customer service. I recommended them and will continue to do so! Thank you so much to the staff for loving our LuLu! Just a wonderful place to board your loved furry babies!

Our first trip using Kelly's Kritters was wonderful! We got a video each visit which really helped us to feel comfortable being away and that our cats were well cared for. They are really conscientious and go above and beyond! Our sitter brought a laser pointer to play with one of our kitties on one of the visits. Schedule and everything was easy and they are great to work with. Highly recommend!

Kelly’s Kritters is awesome! They took wonderful care of my two cats. They sent me videos every day to let me know my cats were doing ok. I really appreciated that.

Kelly and her staff are wonderful! They were professional, loving and went the extra mile to ensure my dog was well-cared-for. Their caregivers were always prompt and great at communicating info about their visit. I highly recommend Kelly’s Kritters.

Kelly's Kritters were amazing. I have an old cat that often will hide from people. She was out every day for them! The videos they sent every day allowed me to relax and not experience the usual stress I have when I leave her. There were no messes left, mail was brought in, Suzy had very little stress herself. Will always use them in the future!!!

If I could give 100 stars to Kelly and her team I would without hesitation. They take such great care of our pups and love them like their own. Our one pup is older and they have no issues making sure she gets her meds. The update videos are always so appreciated and we come home to pets excited to see us, but not frantic and stressed. We also love that we never worry about our home while traveling. Kelly provides top notch customer service and has always worked with us when our plans have changed, totally willing to adapt quickly as needed. Not only does Kelly and her team get our recommendation, they get our pups too, which is high praise indeed!

We are extremely picky pet parents and leave crazy long details on how to take care of our two dogs & two cats. Kelly’s Kritter’s follow every step to a tee. Even with aging dogs and new health care needs on occasions, they are always thorough and make sure our pets have every need attended. The videos for each visit are much appreciate and ease our minds when we are away. We highly recommend them if you would like a stress free vacation.

This was the best experience I’ve ever had when having to leave my animals. The videos gave me peace and my animals were very happy, which is usually not the case when they are left behind. I could not recommend Kelly’s Kritters more. They are highly professional and wonderful with your pets.

We have had Kelly’s Kritters care for our pets for the past 3 years or so and have always been pleased and secure that our fur babies are well cared for. All the team members are wonderful and we love getting their daily videos.

I can relax on vacation knowing my pets are not only safe and taken care of - but being loved on and enjoying their pet sitters. My pets have loved everyone we have worked with at Kelly’s Kritters. I love getting video updates with every visit and getting to know my pets are safe.

Kelly and her staff have been taking care of my three dogs for years now. They are patient and very professional. I have a very young dog, and they have cared for him from day one, he a wild child, but they love and care for him with the patience of saints! Kellys Kritters takes the guilt out of working long hours and taking a vacation once in a while. I love my dogs, and hate leaving them, but that is not life, Kellys Kritters staff follow my directions regarding all my pets needs to the letter. I get daily videos of my pets playing while I'm at work, which takes the worry away and replaces it with pride, pride that I am giving my dogs the best care possible.

Amanda is amazing! We started using her before she built her kennel. My little dog Paisley was not good being left with many people. She liked Amanda right away. Now we take our Cane Corso for doggy day care and Athena has a ball! They are all so wonderful with all pets. You can tell they care about them just like they were their own. I’m so thankful we have a place for our pets where I don’t have to worry.

We have 2 Shelties, and they get so much love here from everyone. Our dogs don't travel well, so if we're gone out of town for a day or 2 weeks, we are always confident that they are well taken care of. Take your furbabies there, you won't be disappointed!!

Four Paws is a great place to board your animals. We have had our two dogs boarded at Four Paws four or five times and have always had a good experience. They are very accommodating and worked our dogs into their schedule, even on short notice. If you live, or visit, the Farmville area and need to have your dogs boarded, I strongly recommend Four Paws Bed & Biscuit.

Five stars all the way for Four Paws! My two pups absolutely adore this place. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, making sure they feel right at home. The facilities are top-notch, and I love that they offer both boarding and grooming services. Every time I pick up my dogs, they are looking and feeling like a million bucks. Thanks, Four Paws, for being our go-to spot for dog grooming.

We came into town last minute for a golfing tournament at The Manor and had to bring our two larger dogs with us. The owners at Four Paw B&B were amazing about getting our girls squeezed in for two days of doggie daycare. The girls were well cared for and thoroughly exhausted from playing all day by the time we picked them up. If we’re ever in town for the weekend again, we will definitely come back!

Amanda and her team are great. Best place around to have your dog groomed. My dog is not a big fan of other people in general but gets excited when I tell him we're going to Amanda's. Keep up the great work Four Paw team. You are much appreciated!!!

Always great service! We have 5 dogs groomed here and have our schedule done for a year in advance!

I was so happy to see my pets giving love and not being scared. I'll definitely go back.

It's a wonderful place I couldn't have asked for anything more people r very nice and caring and they do very good work

Amanda and her team go above and beyond for care of the doggies when they come to visit. I trust her whole heartedly with my 2 special pups.

Denise has been taking care of my cats (up to 6 at one point) for 8 years. She is very thorough, trustworthy, conscientious, and knowledgeable. She goes the extra mile when needed. My cat became ill while we were on vacation and she took him to the vet and kept me updated. She will update via text and also send sweet pictures. I feel so much better leaving my animals in Denise's care as well as the general security of my home. I highly recommend Denise, owner of Reining Cats and Dogs to care for your pets!.

Denise at Reining Cats & Dogs has been taking care of our cat for over 5 years now, and she is wonderful! We always leave for vacation with peace of mind in knowing that Denise is in charge. She is very thorough and reliable, and provides daily updates. Our cat lovers her! Can't recommend her highly enough!!!

Denise is a great pet sitter who goes above and beyond to care for my pets. She always takes time to play with them and makes sure they get attention while I’m away. She is very good about communication and keeping me updated on my pets while I’m gone. Her prices are very reasonable and are less than what I would pay to board my animals plus they get to stay in their own home where they feel safe.

Denise is by far the best pet sitter I have ever had look after our cat. When I called Denise in a pinch for a last minute cancel on our original planned pet sitter she jumped right in to help a new customer. She did a great job looking after our cat. Denise quickly learned what our cat did / did not like and she adapted. I really felt like our cat was in the best hands possible. We got regular updates and you can tell she truly cares about the relationship she creates with the pets she is looking after. Absolutely recommend. She will get every detail right.

We have used Reining Cats and Dogs for our dog walking and pet sitting needs for 7 years now. We can count on Denise for our dogs’ daily walks (with treats and affection) as well as pet sitting when we go away. The peace of mind knowing our pups are being well taken care of allows us to enjoy ourselves when we are away from them. Denise is like a member of the family now - we wouldn’t know what to do without her! I strongly suggest you give her a try because you won’t regret it.

We had the pleasure of working with Denise for over 5 years with our girl Roxie a Boxer. Denise began walking her at 10 weeks old and helped with our training routine during her daily visits. Denise is punctual, professional and most importantly was very loving and loyal with Roxie. Denise became an extension of our family as she was with us weekly since 2014. I highly recommend her services at Reining Cats and Dogs!

Denise has taken care of our two (now three) cats for 11 years! She is the best! She does a thorough interview where she gets to know everything there is to know about your pet. Any medical issues, she can handle it. In addition to caring for your pets, she will water plants, bring in mail, roll out garbage bins, you name it. You can get a text update after each visit if you like, and every visit she leaves a note about how it went. She does not hesitate to contact you if any issues arise. It is wonderful to be able to enjoy time away knowing with absolute certainty everything is taken care of at home.

We all, pets and people, love Denise! That includes our rescue sheltie, who is very shy. I have peace of mind when traveling because I know that my dogs are happy and beautifully cared for, no matter what the circumstances. We have run into unforeseen issues before and Denise has always risen to the occasion and been wonderful.

Denise has been my pet sitter for almost 10 years and I couldn't be happier. It is never easy to leave the fur babies at home when you are traveling but knowing Denise is taking excellent care of Jaxon (and my house) sure does make it easier. I highly recommend her.

Denise has cared for my horses for almost 10 years now. She is one of the most reliable, professional, and helpful people you could hope to meet. My horses have always been in good hands and I always come back to a nice clean barn and happy healthy animals.

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!

Our dogs are always groomed perfectly. They love their spa day! The staff is very considerate and responsive. You will adore them. When you return to pick up your dogs and they don't rush for the door, you know you've chosen wisely.

The people at Country Inn Kennels are remarkable! My furry friend had a "run in" with a gas hose on our way to day care, and was sprayed with gasoline. Along with smelling like a gas can, I was so worried about his skin. When we arrived, they took him straight away into the bath area and were washing him down and loving on him. They actually gave him 3 baths to ensure the gas was all off and he was fine. Good caring people for anyone's fur babies.

Everyone there provides good customer service, and I'm comfortable with leaving my best pals with them for daycare or a week+ of boarding.

Love this place! I’ve been taking my dog here for about a year and there is never an issue. She always leave smelling amazing and it lasts for weeks!

Thank you for such an easy process!!! Thank you for taking the time and care to get them done right!!! 5 stars and will be recommending!!! I recently moved to the area so this was the first time getting my fur babies groomed here. I called ahead to make the appointment and with no hesitation the asked for simple information and allowing me to bring the vet records with me at time of appointment. Drop off was quick and simple. Grooming came out great!!! When my boxador came out looking extra sweet and my husky came out with his fur bouncing I instantly knew they took their time on the bathing and brushing.

First time talking my dog here. It was a great experience from start to finish. Easy scheduling and they did a great job on my pet!

Friendly staff! Great service! They listened to how I wanted him groomed and they did it! Yogi looks and smells fabulous! There will definitely be repeat visits to the spa!

We have a very fearful dog and she is loved on and so well cared for while she boards with the excellent staff at Country Inn Kennels. They call, send photos, and always do their best to make sure Eevee has a restful and happy stay. I am so happy to have found this kennel! Well worth the extra drive time.

Good place for your dogs when you have to leave. They take good care of them.

Gave our dogs a bath a week ago and they still smell good.
