Dog Sitters in Acorn Acres, VA

My pups absolutely loved Jamaria!!! She was amazing about sending updates on my babies and even working with them on listening! Will definitely be using Rising Moon Kennels again!!! Thanks so much for making my vacation less stressful!!

We had an incredible experience with Rising Moons Kennels! J was fantastic in helping us train our new puppy, providing us with the tools we needed for everything from leash training to managing problem areas at home. She explains everything so clearly and makes training a high-energy puppy enjoyable and effective. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking to bring out the best in their dog!

My experience having my dog boarded with Rising Moon Kennels was amazing. I boarded my 11 month old dog with them for 17 days and the care and attention given was superb. Every day I received pictures and videos of my dog showing how she was doing and she was doing marvelously. It was obvious that she was getting the time and attention needed to keep her happy and content. I cannot recommend Rising Moon Kennels enough. This is the best place to board your dog or dogs. Your dog will thank you for it.

I highly recommend Ms.J kennels. I went to the Dominican Republic for a few days. This being the furthest I have from my boy Khaos. Just the pre boarding session I was already sold and comfortable. Hands down a solid person to work with. Khaos was spoiled with love and care. Looking forward to doing business again. Thanks Ms.J

This was our first time boarding our 2.5 year old, Nala. Rising Moon Kennels answered all our questions, and was extremely patient with us as we navigated boarding for the first time. The care and attention given was beyond our expectations. We received videos and photos daily showing how she was doing, and she was doing fantastic. Nala got the time and one on one attention she needed. And we cannot recommend Rising Moon Kennels enough, and will definitely be using in the future.

It was the best place we have ever used. I would recommend her to anyone. Loved the videos she sent daily. And the camera so you can see your fur baby. Just a wonderful place for your fur baby.

Last week was the first time boarding our dogs and we were so very pleased with the care they received at RMK ! Jay is awesome and really loves and cares about the dogs. She sent photos, updates and videos daily which allowed me to relax and not worry about my babies. I will definitely go to RMK for future boarding.

My girl J was amazing with my baby Ace. Upon first talking with her you would've thought we had known eachother for years. She was very professional, loving, caring, and flexible. She worked so well with my family and I in obedience training with Ace and we seen results in the first week. I would definitely trust her to dog sit my baby. Thanks J you are amazing girl❤️❤️

Jamaria was amazing to work with. I recently adopted a 2-year old, adult dog who was in need of obedience training and improvements in manners. After finishing the training, he's improved in all areas of concern for me, which were heeling, recall, and not jumping when meeting new people. Jamaria is very patient, personable, and knowledgeable in many techniques used in obedience training. We will continue to apply what we've learned from our sessions to continue to improve. I highly recommend! Thank you!

J took amazing care of our fur babies! We have two young, very energetic pups who want nothing more than to play all day. This was the perfect place for them! We loved that dogs were able to do a meet and greet before boarding. When the time came to drop them off, they immediately recognized the driveway and were excited to be there. We felt so confident with leaving them in her care and look forward to boarding with J again!

We have been clients of A Barking Good Time for the last 7 months and have had a wonderful experience. Krystyna runs a great team; the most impressive part is the reliability – in the course of our time with them, there has never been a late or missed appointment. In addition, they send pictures and a status update upon each visit! The status update includes pictures of my dogs and what was done during the visit (bathroom, play, love, feeding, etc). Seeing these updates, truly sets us at ease during the day knowing that our dogs are getting love and attention! Would recommend A Barking Good Time for anyone needing the services they provide.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about A Barking Good Time! We have used them the last few years for walking our fur baby and have also boarded with them. Krystyna and her team take such good care of our pup while we are away. They even have an awesome app that allows you to know how the walk went and see photos. It is also used to schedule and pay, making it a super easy process. They are very communicative, trustworthy, and really make you feel like they consider your pup their own! I would recommend A Barking Good Time to anyone in the North Suffolk area if you want to support a great local business and have your furry family member cared for while you are away!

We absolutely love Krystyna at A Barking Good Time. We get daily walks for our three dogs, and her service is absolutely amazing. In addition to being friendly and reliable, she has an awesome app that let's her send daily pictures, walking routes, and puppy report cards directly to our phones. Best dog care in the Western Branch, hands down. She is amazing - if you need pet care, you will not be disappointed.

We boarded our female Hound/Lab mix for a week with them, and she loved it! I loved the updates with pictures and videos too! They were great with her and really know what they’re doing when it comes to taking care of dogs. I wanted my dog to be in a loving home with a yard to play in while we were on vacation instead of in a boarding facility locked up in a crate. I felt very comfortable leaving her with them, I highly recommend boarding your dog with A Barking Good Time! We will definitely be using them again for our next vacation

We have been using services from A Barking Good Time for 10 months now and feel so fortunate to have found such an incredible pet care service. Krystyna runs her business like the boss babe she is. She has spoiled our sweet girl with their walks and backyard play time and every meet up between them results in some fabulous photos of our dog enjoying herself to the max! I can’t say enough fabulous things about Krystyna and her company A Barking Good Time LLC. Professional, prompt, trustworthy, great communication, post walk reports (w/pics)...! Rain or shine, she will tire out your dog! If you need dog walking or boarding services, please contact her! If our dog could talk, she would give rave reviews so instead she will give two paws up!

We love this service! Krystyna cares for our dogs as if they were her own! While in her care they become part of her family and enjoy lots of love, playtime and runs in the yard! The pictures and updates she sends are wonderful! They are always so happy in her care! We wouldn’t use any other boarding service.

Our Mookie loves Karla and Krystina and A Barking Good Time!!! These ladies are fantastic and love our Mookie. Pictures, playing, feeding, loving and just being her friend twice a day helped us ease into me going back to work full time without feeling too guilty about leaving her at home. They are the best and I’d leave Mookie or any pet with them any time!!!

These ladies take great care of my GS puppy. She is quite the handful and they have done an amazing job taking care of her while I am at work. They have even taught her how to do tricks. I would definitely recommend!!!(:

Gregg, I am sorry you feel as though we do not deserve a 5 star rating. I would like an opportunity to provided dog walking and/boarding before you rate us based on a service that was never provided.. Thank you!

I'm so happy I found Whiskers & Tails. In the past 2 months, I've used both in-home pet sitting and boarding in a Whiskers & Tails home. The employees took time to get to know my dog and put me at ease, prior to using the services. They always greet my dog first, before greeting me. That's how you know this is more than just a business. They really care for my pets. When I return, my dog, she is happy. She is not ticked that I left her for so long! When I picked my dog up from boarding, she acted like she didn't want to leave. That's how I know my dog was in good hands. It's rare to find a business to which, I’d give 5 stars. I'm truly happy with the service I've received and I intend to continue using this service.

Yvonne is fabulous ♥️ She took excellent care of my dog and cat. I received daily updates, with photos, and clear communication throughout. She's an excellent companion for your animals, and you can be confident that your furry family will receive the best care!

Whiskers and tails is great! There is a wide variety of services offered at reasonable prices. I feel very comfortable with the care they give my pets, and how well they take care of my home. They are very reliable and communicative. The app is great also- it makes it so easy to schedule, and I can also monitor the care of my pets while I'm gone. I love the summary and pics from each visit! It is clear that they truly care for animals as well!

Yvonne does a great job with all of our pets. We have a literal zoo at our house and she tends to them all with the care and attention she would give her own pets. She is great at communicating what she does with your pets through daily pictures and text messages. I wholeheartedly trust her in my home when we're gone and I highly recommend Whiskers and Tails to anyone with pet sitting needs.

Absolutely LOVE Whiskers & Tails! I am at ease leaving my pup at home during the work day with professional and fun dog walkers! My dog loves Stephanie and I know he is under great care. I love getting pictures of him at work and reading the little notes that she writes about the visit. Yvonne is so friendly and wonderful to talk to, and has great communication! 10/10 would recommend. VERY flexible and VERY reliable. If you need a dog walker or even just someone to take out your pup when you are gone for a few hours, look no further than Yvonne and Stephanie!

I love this service!!! We are so excited to have a professional dog walker that services our area of Suffolk. Yvonne and her staff are experienced, professional, and crazy about animals! Our dog, Apollo, loves them! From the first time we used Whiskers & Tails until now, we are thrilled with this service and we would recommend them to anyone!

Yvonne and her company are absolutely amazing! The experience has been nothing but spectacular. We have been so impressed with Yvonne and Brooke. We have a German Shepherd Dog puppy who needs a lot of walking and they always work with us to give him the best/longest walk they can within our budget. When he was sick, they even heated up his lunchtime meal for us - how awesome is that? I cannot recommend them enough, and if anyone is unsure whether they can afford it, let me tell you: It's one of the single best things we've done for our puppy and we will go without cable before we cancel Yvonne!

My kitties and I are new to the Smithfield area and when we had to leave our beloved pet sitter on the Peninsula, we were super bummed! I met Yvonne at a BNI group meeting and was excited to find a new pet sitter that we could rely on while on travel! We've worked with Yvonne twice now and have been so pleased! She includes lots of photos (make sure you check for them online on the doTimely app/website-I didn't realize for the longest time that there were photos being sent until after the fact b/c they weren't coming thru my phone!) and my three kitties are very comfortable with her. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a great pet sitter in the Smithfield area!

Going away from the kitty babies has always been hard, but having Yvonne and her team taking care of them has given us great piece of mind. Not only does she care for them but also considers things like switching different lights so ppl will think your home, grabbing your mail.....and our heat went out she grabbed a couple of safe heaters and made sure that the kitties and house would be warm. You couldn't find this in regular pet care, she goes over and above, and as a person whom strives to do the same, I will tell you it's rare these days! Highly recommended!!!!!

These pix are from May of 2018. Our sweet Obie needed special care while we were away for a few days. I cannot say enough about Yvonne, her professionalism and the wonderful care she gave our elderly dog. He left us in June of 2018, so it meant alot to us to give him a great life with dignity during his waning days. We Love You, Yvonne and Whiskers and Tails!
