Cat Sitters in Sperryville, VA

We recently used Happy Paws Pet Nanny for dog sitting services while we were away on vacation, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! Our two dogs, Benji and Diego, were in wonderful hands the entire time. From the very beginning, the Happy Paws Pet Nannies were incredibly professional, responsive, and accommodating to our needs. The team took the time to learn about our dogs' routines, preferences, and personalities, ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. We received regular updates, including lots of photos which put our minds at ease while we were away. Benji and Diego looked happy and relaxed when we returned, which is a true testament to the quality of care they received. It's clear that Happy Paws truly cares about animals, and we will definitely be using their services again in the future. If you're looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet care, we highly recommend them!

If I could give this company 10 stars, I would! This was our first time using a Pet Sitting company, and Happy Paws didn’t disappoint one single bit. We have 5 sweet fur babies and they are a lot of work and care. We were gone for 8 days across the U.S, and these girlies did an amazing job with our crew! I absolutely love the detailed updates after each visit, the photos of our animals, and how easy it was to access everything! Our pets were in amazing hands and so well taken care of. I can’t rave enough. We will be using Happy Paws from here on out whenever we need to go anywhere. They truly care about your pets and the well being of them. Highly recommend and will always spread the word about Happy Paws!!

I was skeptical because we had a bad experience over the summer with a dog boarding company in Gainesville. They came for a meet and greet and were detailed with questions I didn’t think of and pictures of where things are. I was really impressed. The dog walkers are amazingly thorough with detailed accounts of visits with numerous photos. After the first visit report and pictures, I can honestly say my anxiety level dropped dramatically and I felt like we made a great choice. We had an emergency at our house while we were out of state and they took care of our house and pets. I felt like they were family caring for them and we never used them before! The previous owner of Happy Paws was our neighbor and we loved her but this was so above and beyond not only expectations but what they were hired for. I’m no longer worried about going out of town and finding someone to watch my animals. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the people working here are and how grateful I am for them.

We've used Happy Paws for multiple vacations, and we have friends that have as well. I know our dogs benefit from staying at home instead of boarding, and I'm always happy with the service. They communicate very well, they're flexible, and most important of all, they care. It's not much more in cost than regular boarding for this area, and in addition to taking care of your fury friends, you have folks monitoring your home, bringing in mail and packages, taking out trash, watering plants etc... It's worth it for you and your pets!

Excellent online interface for requesting service. Wonderful pet care givers! Our labs love getting their mid-day play time and walks with the Happy Paws staff. And we love getting the emails after each walk providing puppy status and pix.

As a pet owner, I can confidently say Happy Paws Pet Nanny is the best pet nanny in town! Their dedication to our furry family member is evident in every interaction, from the personalized attention to the frequent updates with photos and detailed reports. They consistently go above and beyond, accommodating special needs and ensuring our pet feels loved and cared for even when we're away. Highly recommend them to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!".

I couldn't be more thrilled with the care my two dogs received from The Happy Paws Pet Nanny over a long weekend! They treated our fur babies like their own, providing exceptional love and attention. From regular updates to ensuring their comfort and happiness, it was clear my dogs were in the best hands. Coming home to happy, relaxed pups made all the difference. I highly recommend The Happy Paws Pet Nanny to anyone looking for top-notch, compassionate care for their pets. We will definitely be using their services again!

I highly recommend Happy Paws to anyone needing vacation care for their pets! We just came back from a week-long trip and had Happy Paws caring for our 2 cats and everything went perfectly - They provide complete peace of mind with their thorough updates and many many pictures from each visit, and they are also super responsive if you message them about anything. You will be 100% comfortable leaving your fur babies at home in the care of Happy Paws!

Happy Paws Pet Service is the absolute best pet service I've ever used. The staff is professional, caring, friendly, and quick to handle unforseen issues. Highly recommend!

After searching for a place to board our dog when we have to travel. We found the perfect place that we highly recommend. The Happy Paws Pet Nanny. Happy Paws tending to our Pitbull/Sheena as if she was there own made our trip stressless. It was stressless because we didn't have to worry about her having anxiety, because she was allowed to be at home in her own comfort, due to Happy Paws Nanny in home service. While on the trip we received updates after ever visit and photo's of her and she received a lot of love. If you're looking for a place that's going to treat your fur baby as their own and you're looking for a place that can come to you. The Happy Paws Pet Nanny is your place!!

Sharon is absolutely wonderful with our greyhound Rusty. We feel at ease traveling when we know he is in Sharon’s good hands. He loves going to her home and especially enjoys the outdoor time sunbathing in her fenced yard, as well as the couch and bed options. Highly recommend Sharon if you need someone to watch your pup!

We had a great experience with Sharon! We left our dog Louie with her for four nights and it was one of his first times being at a doggie daycare. Louie had a great time being under her care; with energy filled days on her property and being able to cuddle on the bed whenever he wanted. Because this was one of our first times leaving Louie at doggie daycare we were a little nervous but Sharon put those worries to rest upon her walking us through what her daycare is like as well as the many years of experience she has with dogs. We received updates twice a day on how Louie was doing with her and the other dogs as well as photos of him at that point in the day. Another thing that we loved was Sharon’s thoroughness in asking what our dog is like, how we discipline, whether we’d prefer him to be crated at night or not, etc. It’s clear she is committed to providing you and your dog the best experience possible. Dogtown Days Camp is definitely a better option for your dog than boarding at a major franchise. We highly recommend using Dogtown Days Camp and will be continuing to bring Lou to Sharon in the future!!! Attached are some pictures of Louie during his stay!

Sharon is great. She cared for our dog for 5 days while my wife and I were out of town. We felt assured our pup was in good hands. Sharon provided frequent updates. Her more personal, private boarding option was perfect for our dog. Our dog had so much fun. We will definitely have our dog stay with Sharon again in the future.

Sharon from Dogtown is the best!! She takes great care of our dog; he loves it at her home. She's great at communicating with us and you can tell she loves the dogs like her own. Sharon also has lots of property for dogs to run and play. We trust her with our dog and think Dogtown is the best (and afforable!) dog care option in the area. Highly recommend!

Our doggie loves visiting Sharon. Sharon takes such good care of her -- keeping us apprised of how our dog does throughout the day and always with attention to detail given Sharon's depth of experience. We are always so grateful when we can snag a spot for the dog at Sharon's. Highly recommend anyone looking for a caring and reliable dogsitter to send their pup here.

Dogtown has provided excellent care for our greyhound on three occasions! There is plenty of space for her to stretch her legs and socialize. Sharon reliably sends us frequent updates with photos while we are on vacation and we always know our dog is safe, happy, and well-cared for. We feel so much better boarding her at an in-home location with only a few other dogs around, rather than at a corporate-style location. I can recommend Dogtown without reservation and will continue boarding our dog there in future!

Our Golden Retriever Sia stayed several times for long weekends and for longer periods during our holidays at Dogtown. Sharon is great and shares daily news and pictures. She is flexible and we know that our dog will receive special care when we are away. We appreciate the fact that there are only few dogs at Dogtown and there is huge fenced yard where dogs can spend time outside safely. Our dog likes to stay there and each time we prepare her stuff to go to Sharon' place, our dog runs to the car! We can only recommend Dogtown ! Thanks Sharon

We LOVE Sharon at Dogtown Day Camp! She boarded our two dogs while we were away for a weekend, and they had the best time! They are still napping (the next day) from all of the fun they had! Our older lab needed medication administered and Sharon was happy to comply! The HUGE fenced in yard is more than enough room for the dogs to play. Sharon sent pictures and text updates throughout our dogs stay there, and we couldn't have been more pleased! If you're looking for someone to love and care for your dogs, like you would, Dogtown is where you should take them!

Our sweet, giant St. Bernard - Cooper -who is a 180lb ball of slobber and fluff absolutely LOVES Dogtown and Ms. Sharon. This is a small, farm like setting where dogs feel at home. Sharon is a wonderful caregiver with a background in the vet industry. She is responsive, shares updates daily and most of all makes safety a priority!

I highly recommend DOGTOWN Day Camp! Sharon runs a very safe and professional day camp/boarding facility from her home. She is very flexible with scheduling, drop-off, and pick-up. Her property is completely fenced in and it provides more than enough secure space for the dogs to run around and explore safely. Inside, there are plenty of options for the dogs to lounge and rest. When your dogs are staying with Sharon, they are a part of the family! My pups come home thoroughly exercised and happy as can be. Additionally, Sharon ensures there are only a few dogs with her at a time. So the care and feedback she provides is much better than the average day care! More importantly, DOGTOWN Day Camp provides special care to pups that need some extra love. My two greyhounds have some special needs. The older one just needs more space and comfy spots to relax; much more than the average/commercial daycare can provide. The other greyhound has severe anxiety, several medical issues, and a drawn out feeding process that can turn very time consuming. DOGTOWN Day Camp was able to administer prescription pills and oral meds without issue. Sharon ensured she understood all of my pup's needs, asked questions, and maintained communication with me on her status. I am typically a very worried owner while away, but I am finally worry free! In fact, Sharon provided some useful tips and advice on getting my pup to eat more regularly. To top it off, her prices are very competitive with other day camps/boarding facilities in the area; especially considering the extra care she provides. Overall, I am very impressed with the care Sharon provides. I will be a returning customer!

I really can’t say enough great things about Charlotte & the k9ology training center! We are seeing such great results with our pups and we owe the progress all to her! She brings great energy to every single session and it shines through with what she has taught my dogs and I! She truly makes dog training fun! I look forward to having a long lasting relationship with the k9ology center.

We use Charlotte and K9ology for training our 2 Newfoundland dogs. Charlotte is a wonderful trainer, and can help you with any issue you might be encountering with your dog or dogs. Her classes are small so it's almost like having a private trainer!

Absolutely fantastic training. Our Labrador remembered Charlotte after a two year break. He was so excited to try and be on his best behavior!

Love. Love. LOVE K9ology! We had the pleasure of working with several trainers as we began our dog's therapy training program. I can't speak to the program itself because our dog's health began to suddenly decline and we've had to stop her training. However, what we did experience was incredible. Firm, gentle training and education as to why we did it and how to keep it up at home. My dog LOVED coming here, and their space is always sparkling clean and the staff is super friendly and clearly love the animals. I can't recommend enough! (Also: my 9 year old daughter came with me to trainings, and they were awesome with helping her handle the dog as well)

Charlotte is phenomenal. She is not *just* a dog trainer. She understands the breed and can identify behaviors to tailor her training regimen to fit the specific dog. She really works with you as the owner so you can find the best fit for your training needs. I would give her more than 5 stars, if I could. Highly recommend!

Charlotte is amazing! She has helped us understand not only how to train our dog but also to understand how she thinks! I can't recommend her enough!

Charlotte & Josh provide the best all-around care for dogs that I have ever seen, anywhere. Charlotte is such a gifted, positive trainer; I learn something from her every time I go. The boarding is safe, clean, and a wonderful experience for the dogs. Josh is so caring and attentive to each boarder. My dogs had to think about whether they wanted to come home or stay at camp!! Thanks, K9OLOGY for a stress-free and happy experience for dogs and owner alike!

Charlotte is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about training owners and their dogs. Her manner is direct, honest, humorous and relatable and she is generous with helpful insights in both Socialization and Puppy Primer classes. The friendly members in the small classes make for a very fun and informative time that is just crammed full of learning opportunities. We have already signed up for the Manners I class and look forward to all future classes. Sincerely, Willow's family.

Absolutely the best place for K9 training around. Charlotte is not only very knowledgeable, but personable as well. She is fantastic in how she not only trains the dog, but the owner as well so they can work as a team for the desired results. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else! Both of my Huskies have been training with her since pups.

Signing up for classes with K9ology was one of the best decisions I made! I was a bit hesitant about starting my puppy in classes so young, but after 12 weeks of private training and one group class under our belt, I could not be happier with the foundation we have- worth every penny! Charlotte is truly an expert and helps explain the science behind the trainings, and had helpful suggestions for every question/scenario. I would sign up for a dozen more classes if I wasn't moving!

Our dog was very happy here. She can be a bit skittish around new places, so when she pulled on her leash to head back to the kennel, we knew all was going to well. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Thank you for making our trip a special one!

Dropped our pup off for daycare while we visited the caverns! All of the staff was friendly and helpful. They were even able to squeeze our boy in for pawdicure during his stay. Will definitely use again next time we’re in town.

We boarded our German Shepherd while we were visiting Luray. She loved her stay and we were able to get her a bath before we loaded up to go home. Awesome owners. Your dog is gonna love it.

Now under new owners. Been using these great people and awesome caretakers to care for our pet dogs for years! Best local care there is!!! They care, solid staff, excellent hours and good prices to boot. Nothing has changed, still s solid 10.

We were visiting Shenandoah National park this weekend and looking for somewhere to leave our dogs. I always nervous to leave them new places but mystic had great reviews. They definitely lived up to their reviews! They even groomed one of my pups while she was there and she looks amazing. They were well taken care of, happy when we picked them up. They were easy to communicate with, gave me updates when I called to check on them, played with them, etc.. would highly recommend to anyone considering. They definitely care about dogs and want to make them feel comfortable during their stay.

Love this place! We’ve been taking our dogs here to get groomed for a few months now and have nothing but great things to say. They always get us in the schedule quickly, we don’t have to book a month or more in advance like our previous groomer. The staff is very friendly too, I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with them. And we love the haircuts! They always give you the exact cut you ask for, no surprises here when you pick up! 10/10

Dogs were safe and healthy when we picked them up. They obviously had a great time and we're well cared for during our trip. We would 100% use them again.

They were very nice when I went to get my new best friend Jenny groomed 😊 …

My Pepper is treated like a princess at Mystic. Lena and Gareth always go out of their way to accommodate. These are friendly, salt of the earth hard working folks when love animals. Professional and lovely results. Have brought my pooches here for years and they never disappoint. Happy and clean doggie!

I was nervous dropping my dog off for her first time away from me but she did great. She's very anxious. I love the care they gave her and how they took the time to figure out what worked best for Fawn. I'll definitely be using them again when needed. It feels great to find a place you can trust.

Katie is absolutely the best!!! I had never left my pets with anyone other than family. I have two golden retrievers, a skittish, shy cat, and a beta fish. Katie came to my home for a meet and greet prior to the dates I needed a pet sitter. My two golden retrievers took to her right away. I knew immediately she would be perfect. She stayed in my home while I was away for my son’s wedding. She would update me with text messages and photos on how all the pets were doing throughout each day. I was able to enjoy my son’s wedding and never once did I worry about my pets. When I returned home, she had left very detailed reports cards for each pet for each day she cared for them. She also left my pets gifts, along with a thank you note. She did things that I did not even expect of her, such as taking out the trash and washing the bed linens and towels she used while staying in my home. I will absolutely always call Katie whenever I need a pet sitter. She is punctual, friendly, very detailed, experienced, professional, polite, and wonderful with the pets she cares for.

“Katie has been a Godsend as I recently moved to the area and my new work schedule makes it hard to get my dog proper exercise and stimulation. In a very short period, Katie has endeared herself to my pup, who now perks up whenever I tell her “it’s a Miss Katie day” when I leave for work! Katie goes above and beyond to communicate, provide insight and observations of how my girl is doing, sends pictures and provides detailed updates (including a report card) on their activities together. It comforts me to know that I have a professional like Katie who provides so much care and attention to my dog while I’m away. I can’t recommend her services enough.”

Katie is incredible! She is kind, thorough, attentive, responsive and animals love her. Plus she makes planning and paying super easy (appreciate being able to use Zelle or Venmo)! I contacted Katie with a last minute request to take care of my Mom's cat while she was in the hospital. She responded quickly and was even willing to adjust her schedule to accommodate my request. The cat is super skittish - but came out to say hello to Katie. She's an animal whisper. :) She took great care of the cat and even went above & beyond by purchasing more litter when I was running low. Thank you Katie for being so professional and so wonderful with animals!

WOW! is all I can say about the incredible care and service my pup (Sophie) received this summer when Katie stayed in our house to dog-sit for a week. Sophie is an older dog who does not get along well with other dogs and cannot be crated. She's a little quirky and we needed someone who understood her. During the meet and greet, Sophie fell in love with Katie- nothing but tail wags and kisses; it was clear Katie was able to speak Sophie's language. While we were gone, Katie sent us pictures of the pup. Sophie always looked happy. When we returned home after a week, Katie had left daily report cards for Sophie's activities each day we were gone. When we arrived home, the house was immaculate and Sophie was a happy girl- but she would still go into the guest room and look for her new best friend, Katie, for a couple of days after we returned. Katie cared for Sophie and our house as if they were her own and we could not recommend her more or give her high enough praise. She went way above and beyond what we expected and we couldn't be more grateful. Be prepared for your pet to be treated like royalty when Katie comes to take care of them- HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We are so happy that we found Katie for help with our two labs. We needed her support during the day because we ended up with a couple work days that were too long to leave them. Katie was amazing! She sent pictures and videos, left adorable doggie report cards, and the dogs LOVE her! She is super professional and has a wonderful attention to little details that make the experience extra special. We are so thankful to find someone that we can count on for help to make our dogs’ lives better when we can’t be there. We give her the highest recommendation! We are excited to have her back soon!

I moved to the area a couple of years ago and struggled to find a pet sitter that I could trust to take care of my fur babies (with special needs) while I was on vacation. I am thrilled that I found Katie. She is absolutely the BEST! Not only did she keep me up to date on the day to day goings on, she kept a daily log to track all medicines she administered and wrote a daily report card for each of my pets. On top of that, she went above and beyond with little things, that together were big things. I highly recommend Katie!

BEST PET SITTER EVER!!!!!! Katie did so much for my two kitties for the week we were away; from daily photos/videos and updates, to even throwing a little 4th of July themed birthday party for the kitties!! I have quite high expectations for anyone watching my babies, and she exceeded them entirely. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and can truly see she cares for every animal that falls under her care. She’s the best of the best!!!!

Katie is amazing! She’s walks my puppy during the day so he can get some energy out and get some exercise while I’m at a work and let me just say he looks SO SO SOOOO happy in all of the pictures she sent! I love how she sends me picture of him through out the walk and a report of how the walk went! I HIGHLY recommend Katie’s Pet Sitting Services!

Katie was ‘a dog whisperer’ with our elderly dog. Recommend her unequivocably. She house/dog sat. All was perfect. She left cute and informative ‘report cards’ detailing our dog daily activities.

Katie cares about your pets and has a ton of knowledge on how to best care and interact with your pets. She’s super awesome and goes above and beyond.

Laura, groomer always takes great care of your pet. We have been boarding our dogs since 1995 and receive excellent care.

After reading all the reviews I called and spoke with the owner who is a super nice Christian man about boarding my two dogs. He said he would reserve a space and would call me back that Tuesday. Based on the 1 star review I put out the fleece for them to respond and it came back void. I never got a call back. I tried reaching out to them again and never got a response. I decided to book elsewhere and not be SOL when I needed to drop them off. I don't know why God didn't want me to board there that time. But in the future I will try again. .

Always a good experience with Per Tailor - we’ve been bringing our doggos for years. Great customer service, I would definitely recommend. Just remember to bring cash or check (no credit/debit accepted).

We have been taking our cat and dogs to the PT for many years. They always return home well cared for. The PT family are extremely conscientious.

The pet tailor is the best groomer in the area. Laura did a wonderful job on our Yorkie. Usually she comes back from the groomer and hides for days but this time she is frisky and happy. That is from the experience at the Pet Tailor. Great place for grooming.

Booked 2 weeks in advance. Called Saturday before vacation to confirm only to be told that they weren't going to be able to keep their commitment. No call! If I hadn't called to confirm, I wouldn't have known until I wasted a trip out there! Horrible customer service, to say the least!!!

Hazel had a great time and came home looking great. Thank you Pet Taylor.

Truly the best people. They take amazing care of our pups. Have used them since 2007.

They absolutely treat my boy Bentley with the love he desires. Bentley always looks forward to his time at Pet Tailor

Such a great kennel! Our dog loves being here.

I will always trust and choose Alpha Pet Resort as the place to take care of my precious kitty. They updated me very well and took fantastic care of her in all ways and she was very comfortable there! I won’t be nervous if I ever have to board her here again. <3

We recently boarded our Australian Shepherd at the pet resort over the Christmas holiday. I was worried about leaving her for a week, but they did a very fine job of caring for her. She has a few health issues, they gave her the medication she needed on a daily basis. They sent me pictures on a daily basis. Groomed her. She received very good care. Thank you Alpha Pet Resort!! I'm so grateful for you taking good care of my Bella Rose!! 🌹

Alpha is THE BEST! No stress while I’m on vacation because I know my two Labradors are being well taken care of! They get plenty of exercise and come home happy and tired from all the fun! I highly recommend 😊 …

5 Stars across the board! Clean, friendly, priced fairly and flexible hours. Rich, their dog trainer was amazing! We brought our 10-month-old lab who had more energy than you would believe! She is a sweet girl and very smart but needed structure and obedience training badly. In 15 days, Rich turned her into the dog we only could have dreamed of. He took time to train her, train us and answered every question we had. I would recommend Alpha Pet Resort to anyone and if you’re looking for a trainer, don’t waste your time looking any further than Rich! Down to earth great people who love animals and only want the best for them and their owners. Thank you Alphas and a special thank you to Rich!

My boy Wasabi loves it here and the staff are great! They love him too, so much so they didn't want him to leave :) Will definitely bring him back if I need you guys. Thank you so much for taking care of my stinky guy!!!! Pics included because no one believed he's unhinged at home 🤣💜

This was our first time in boarding our two little kittens (14 months ) old. They have always been with us since abandoned on our property. They did really great at Alpha Pet Resort. The owner , Mickey and staff were WONDERFUL, HELPFUL, AND CARING PEOPLE. They couldn't have treated our fur babies or us any better. I called once to see how they were doing and they were very gracious taking the time to talk to us and assure us they were fine. The facility is extremely clean and the cattery well organized. I sincerely rate the Alpha Pet Resort to be a true friend of animals and will Board there anytime my little buddies need care in my absence. Thank you for your great service!

Our poodles truly enjoy their spa day and all the special care and attention they receive. When we pick them they are gorgeous and happy! Rosie and Rex

Huck’s first day at Alpha must have gone perfectly. He was tired but energetic and happy when he got home. His next visit is today and he started to get excited when we turned down Brandy Road about a mile from the Resort. He thinks this is the best place in the world and for an active English Setter puppy we think it must be. Alpha is providing all the experiences and socialization that a puppy needs.We love it.

I highly recommend Alpha pet resort. My dog, Sheena, recently enjoyed a day of doggy daycare where she got to play with other dogs. The facility is clean and the grounds are well-maintained. The staff loves dogs! Sheena was matched with dogs of similar size and temperament for her playtime. I have boarded my dogs with other kennels and found them less than satisfactory. But I would have no qualms about boarding Sheena at the Alpha pet resort because I could see the Care Understanding and compassion Provided by their staff.

Our usual place to bring our dog was full and we needed to leave town for a wedding. While Alpha seemed a little pricey for our budget we were thankful to have an option. From all indications her stay was great! She seemed content and slept for hours after we got her home. While she was there we opted for a bath which we were pleasantly surprised by. She was clean and felt much softer then other bath experiences. It does seem our dog was well cared for and as she approaches her senior years its very important to us.

The whole team at Biscuits Dog Walking are amazing. They walk my dog five days a week and are always on time and provide emails when the walk starts and when it is done. I would not hesitate to recommend them for daily walks or daycare.

Always there when we need them. Would absolutely recommend their in home services. We have typically used their services 2-3 times a week over the past several months. Corinna & Karlee are very attentive with our puppies.

Wanye, Corinna , and all his staff and reliable and high tech ! They send reminders, photos of the dogs being walked every day, and are very professional. I am a believer in this company!

Very professional and great staff!! Very comfortable with leaving my Great Dane with Wanye and his staff members. Wanye is very relatable whenever I needed to contact him he would answer me back very quickly. I recommend this dog care to anyone interested in needing care for their dog/dogs!!

They have a great, friendly staff and a very clean facility! We will definitely be using their services again and recommending them!

Always great service! Trustworthy with the dogs

Kenneled my dogs. Went to pick up my dogs, and they said they'd bring out the leftover food. Ended up bringing me a bag of dried food when I brought in cans. After finally bringing out the right cans, there were 3 extra cans, so they weren't feeding them every day, if at all; since they can't even get the food right. Then had to ask for my stuff I brought for them back, and they said they were washing the blanket because they had an accident. I told them I brought in multiple toys and clothes. They went to the back to check again, and said they actually did have it all. I asked them to bring out all the stuff and my dogs separate because IDK how I'm supposed to walk 2 dogs to my car, carry all the extra food, and a 13 gallon trashbag. Had to complain to the clerk a couple times before she offered to walk the dogs to my truck while I carried all the stuff. If this is just checkout, IDK how they managed the dogs. My baby girl is much more lean than when I picked her up

Their name says it all! Polite, experienced professionals in every way. Our dog Bonnie loves staying here; she needs a little extra attention and the staff always accommodates.

I come to this place and wash 4 of my dogs here. The easy in and out is what I like about this place. Safety & Cleanliness is important to me. The staff is always super nice and friendly.

We come in semi-regularly for grooming and unscheduled nail trims. They do a wonderful job with my long-haired chihuahua. He always comes home excited and and smelling amazing. We have had great grooms every time we came. They also require vaccination records, so we feel safe that our dog won't be around other dogs with kennel cough, and other harmful diseases. And the staff is friendly and efficient.

Brought my dog here for their self pet wash station. The folks here are friendly and helpful, and my typically standoffish around new people pup was social and greeted the girl there. Which to me says a lot. The place is very clean, and they sell some chew treats and toys here too. The pet wash station includes a pro blow dryer to get thick fluffy coats fully dry and looking their best. We would definitely recommend this place, and I'm sure we'll be back again.

We took our 18 year old cat to get her nails done and we have also taken our Golden retriever to be groomed and they to a great job and are very personable too!

Dogs had a great time visiting. They can't wait to get more dirt on them to come back.

I've used PAB for decades, they treat Corgis like they are family.

They took wonderful care of our Skipper. She tends to make herself sick when we're not around. But this boarding no phone calls! She was happy, we were happy. She acted like she'd been on a great adventure! Love Professional All-Breed Groomer, Daycare, and Boarding. I'd highly recommended!

This bath was the best! No cold hose water from the backyard, and I could step right into the tub! Mom scrubbed me down in toasty warm water and blew out my coat with the high powered drying snake! (I do need a Happy Hoodie for next time though) It was AMAZING! Would definitely bathe here again! ~ Carly 🐾 …

I have taken classes from Theresa Richmond at Mahogany Ridge for over 5 years. Most recently I sent my Wheaten Terrier for some private training. I have always been impressed at the quality of the training in the classes, but WOW the private lessons and board and train were truly fantastic. What a difference! Theresa not only has the touch with dogs, but is able to explain and help their humans! I highly recommend! Fancy says hello in her best ladylike position!

Our 6 month old boxer, Sadie, spent 16 wonderfully productive days at Mahogany Ridge while we went out of town. She did the "Board & Train" program and stayed with Theresa. When we dropped Sadie off, she knew "sit" and that was pretty much it! When we got her back, not only did she look happy & healthy, but she knew all the basic commands (sit, down, come, stay, off)... and also had been taught good manners such as no jumping, not pulling on the leash, staying off the counters/couches, sitting for her food and at the door. We were amazed!! The fact that Theresa keeps the dogs in her house with her is a huge bonus, and allows them so much more time to learn. They learn how to behave IN a house setting... which is a big advantage once you bring them home. Theresa kept in touch with us via phone/email/pictures almost every day. We can't thank Theresa enough for all the love and attention she gave to Sadie. She came back a better version of herself, which is exactly what we wanted. We will be sending Sadie back for boarding every chance we get!

I was pretty nervous to send my fist dog away to board and train, but I couldn't be happier to have sent him to Mahogany Ridge. Theresa put me at ease from our very first conversation - I could immediately tell that she is not only a skilled trainer, but cares deeply about the dogs in her care. My puppy went to Mahogany Ridge as a wild child and returned home with impeccable manners and confidence that I didn't think would be possible to learn in two weeks' time. With the board and train program, Otto was not only taught basic commands and leash etiquette but gained confidence in day to day activities such as riding in the car, visiting other people's homes, and socializing with other dogs. Plus, Theresa shared photos and videos everyday which made the two weeks without Otto more bearable. Since bringing Otto home, almost every sticking point we had before his board and train has been resolved (follows commands, doesn't cry when I leave the apartment, walks on my left/doesn't pull, and doesn't bark at other dogs). If you are considering a dog trainer, look no further than Mahogany Ridge!

Theresa is one of the best dog trainers I know. She was able to get my dog Booker, to learn when no one else could. Not only did she train my dog, but she was able to help train me to be a better dog owner. You can really tell that she loves what she does and has such an awesome connection with all animals. I can't say enough good things about her and Mahogany Ridge.

Our dog Riley has stayed with and done training Theresa many times. He comes home happy but tired...lots of good activities with Theresa. I really can not say enough good things about Theresa and her work with dogs. I am very, very particular in where I board Riley and who does training. There is - quite simply - no one better with dogs than Theresa.

I have had a variety of experiences at Mahogany Ridge with many different dogs. I am in awe of the skills of each staff member and I have learned so much from each one. I am especially impressed with how Theresa goes above and beyond even when it is not convenient. She is there for training and boarding and help with problem solving. I had to be hospitalized unexpectedly several times over the past years and she has instantly taken my service dog to care for her. Even when she was out training I could leave my dog in a crate for her and she took care of her when she got back. She was ready willing and able at a moments notice when I fractured my spine to take my dog for an unknown period of time and keep her working in service mode while I was in the hospital and nursing home for rehab I volunteer to help train service dogs for diabetic children and Theresa has been a great resource and help to me since I am not a professional trainer. Chris was amazing in helping me with calming a nervous dog by showing me the exact spot to massage and he also figured out the problem a service dog was having in a store with sonic pest repellents. The noise was hurting the dog's ears but I could not hear it as it is too high pitched for humans....just designed to keep mice and birds out of the store it also was repulsive to the service dogs. Canine Massage and nose fun along with rally and agility and the kids camps are all wonderful workshops I have attended there over the years. This is a very versatile and professional training facility that any dog would LOVE to visit. I would not say she is a 'know it all" but whatever she does not know...she does know how to find out and she can connect with someone who does know it. I would turn to her for all my canine needs anytime and always. I love Mahogany Ridge!

Mohagany Ridge Dog Training is the top dog training program within 1 hour drive of Spotsylvania county Virginia. I have participated in others over the years. I appreciate the Volhard Method that Theresa teaches. Dog Trainer Theresa Richmond takes training - both dog and human, to a whole new level. My 7 month old Miniature Poodle, Legend☆Skyler and I have completed Living With Your Dog, Part One and have learned so much. Theresa not only completely knows and trains dogs but is clearly a deeply devoted dog advocate. She knows what they are capable of and targets the highest achievement level. From the very beginning she instills confidence and motivation - in dog and human. We are so grateful for having discovered the opportunity to learn under Mohagany Ridge Dog Training and excitedly look forward to continuing our tutelage under Theresa Richmond. I encourage you to research the various programs offered through Mohagany Ridge. Ie daycare, private and group training, workshops and camp sessions. All superior. Thank you for your time reading this review. Theresa readily responds to any questions you may have.

Took our rottie here for Good Citizenship test, obedience training and agility training so far. Awesome trainer, excellent experiences. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their dogs behavior or to increase their bond.

I love training with Theresa and the Mahogany Ridge experience. My dogs (2 GSDs) squeal like stuck pigs when I turn down Turkey Track road because they can't wait to have fun.

My dog and I love Theresa. Her expertise in training and her kind guidance were instrumental in developing a healthy and lovely relationship with my dog.

We've been using Paws Awhile for over 15 years. This is the 3rd dog we've boarded... The kennel is very clean with large cage runs. Staff is professional, friendly, and give the animals lots of love, attention and personal care. Great price/value!

Great place for our big dog. He is 135 lbs and he is really happy to go there. No pace else for him

Our English Bulldog stays here when we go out of town on vacation since her was 6 months old and almost 7 years old I can’t saw enough good things about the sisters and the way the team cares for him. Max loves Paws Awhile Pet Motel

I cannot say enough positive things about PawsAwhile. Our family have been clients with Paws Awhile since 2017. We board, do daycare and have used their grooming services for our canine children. With confidence we know our "Boys" are well taken care of, in fact when we arrive for daycare they are very excited to see all the staff. Without hesitation we recommend this small business!

Teddy loved his time at PAPM!! Loved my daily photos of him by email and I so appreciated their attention to detail. PAPM truly loves what they do and I will be using them again to board Teddy!

My dog loves it here. We have been coming here for almost 20 years. Highly recommend.

The Sisters and their staff are so great with our dog. He’s pretty skittish and reactive around new people, but every time he runs right up to the person checking us in, which is a great sign. His preferred place is right at my feet at all times, but while we’re out of town, this is a perfect second best. The Sisters are incredibly accommodating, keep in touch with us if our pup gets sick, and generally just love the dogs. Can’t recommend them enough!

This place is wonderful! I'm so glad I found it. My pup has been coming here since he was old enough to get all the required vaccinations. He LOVES this place. The nuns (yes, nuns!) and staff are delightful, and the motel is set on such a beautiful property. They offer daycare and boarding for both dogs and cats, and have many activity packages and add-ons for your little fella if he/she needs extra playtime, walks, or snuggles. I highly recommend it! Edit: My pup has been "evicted" from this facility. He was recently boarded here for a 12 day stay while I was out of town. When I arrived to pick him up I was told he was no longer welcomed because he "wasn't picking up on another dog's cues during play time". Apparently my pup wanted to play with a dog that didn't want to play. There was no fight, and it was with only one dog, who he had played with in the past. I'm very upset over this, as I think the facility could have handled it differently. Every time I've picked my dog up from here, they always tell me he was a perfect gentleman. He's been coming here since he was about 7 months old, and he'll be two at the end of March. It's a shame he's been "banned" over this one incident. Edit: Adam from this facility reached out to discuss what apparently was a misunderstanding. I feel like we were able to clear up the issue and was reassured that my pup was still welcomed at Paws Awhile. This interaction was handled in a very polite and professional way, and I'm looking forward to getting my pup back into daycare and boarding.

From the moment we walked into Paws Hotel We loved it😍 We were greeted In such a warm and caring manner and the place was very clean . Mother Eirene suggested we leave Dakota for a weekend because our concern was We rescued Her and didn’t want her to feel she was being left again and we wouldn’t be back . It was a great idea she was fine so we felt good about leaving her for two weeks for our vacation . I was a mess we never have left any of our dogs at any boarding , hotel for animals . We made a great choice all the staff and sisters were wonderful, Mike the manager assured us not to worry All was going to be fine . If I could give more stars I would and I don’t give them easy. I called almost every day they never made me feel I was a bother 😀 Thank You all again for taking care of our Dakota⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

They were very thorough during the check-in process to ensure they had all the information to care for our dog, including our vets information who we had to call to answer some of their questions. Our dog is the nervous type and they went to great lengths to calm him down and make him feel at ease. When we picked him up 4 days later he was happy, clean, and healthy. We will definitely be using Paws Awhile in the future.
