Dog Sitters in Arkton, VA

I have a complicated kitty, and Joanna has been fantastic at keeping up with all the changes. Super prompt to reply, I've been very pleased with everything she's done!

Joanna provides top-notch service. She is very professional, committed to making both your animals and you feel comfortable with their care. My animals look forward to her keeping them! She seriously goes the extra mile, when our hot water heater ruptured in our basement while we were out of town and she was keeping our pets, she helped us take care of the mess and problem without hesitation. Now that is dedication!

What a great experience with my first ever use of a pet sitter!! Joanna is very conscientious in providing her pet care services. She made sure she was well informed about my puppy's needs and routine before she ever made her first visit. I was very pleased with all of her services while I was away, and she kept me informed of what was going on with him. As an added bonus, she worked with my puppy on walking on a leash and broke him of most of his bad habits!

Jonah has cared for my senior dog on several occasions and has my complete confidence when we have to leave. Whether extended stay or daily walks, give her a call!

I can honestly say that a relationship with Woof to Hoof is making m...y life better. I left for a day trip this weekend. A neighbor noticed that one of my horses wasn't acting right and could not get a hold of me. Joanna is listed as one of my emergency contacts and the neighbor contacted her regarding my horse. She did me a huge favor and was already enroute to go check on my horse by the time I was able to call her. I was close to 2 hours away, and she stayed with my horse while the vet came out, stayed with the vet, and then proceded to stay and help me walk my horse and juggle two small children. I cannot express how much I appreciate her help and consideration in this trying time. She is priceless!

A friend referred us to WTH and it has certainly made things easier. It's nice to know that we can have peace of mind when we are out of town or just busy, and that it's with someone so knowledgeable and compassionate about the care of animals. The text updates are a constant reassurance that all is well. Thanks!

Our dogs were well cared for while we were out of town. Will definitely be using Woof to Hoof in the future for our pet sitting needs.

Maximus had such great care he was hesitant to get back into our car.

Highly recommend.

I am a very protective dog mom. I am serious when I say my dog is my everything. Paws of hope has been fantastic. This is the first place I have felt actually comfortable to leave my baby there. They send me text updates (and pictures) and answer all of my questions. They truly go above and beyond for my dog. I cannot recommend them enough. They really treat your dog like their own. My dog is so exciting to go there each time. I can go on vacation comfortably knowing that he is well taken care of.

As a first time puppy mom, I was SO anxious about leaving my little one home while my fiancé and I were at work. Thanks to Amy and John, they alleviated all my stress!!! Both Amy and John provide helpful and caring advice, along with their genuine interactions. With the home check-ins, Amy will text you great updates and AWESOME pictures of her and your fur baby. With my fiancé and I’s schedule being up in the air sometimes, Amy does a FANTASTIC job by touching base with you and confirming the upcoming days! I definitely recommend Paws of Hope!

I cannot give Paws of Hope enough praise for the work that they do. The exercise and socialization that my dog gets is incredible. Their experience and knowledge of all types of dogs makes them a perfect place for your gentle lap dog or hyper husky. My dog could not be in better hands while I travel.

John and Amy take great care of our pups! They know each dog individually and give personalized attention to everyone. Our dogs enjoy playing all day long with the other dogs!

Our first time boarding our sweet dog (Nyla) while taking a trip 4 hours away. It was the best experience we could have had! John & his team kept us updated how she was doing. Even posted videos & pics of her having the time of her life! They were even able to cut her nails!!! Which Nyla never lets anyone touch her nails! Highly recommend Paws of Hope!

If I could give 'Aunt' Amy and 'Uncle' John 10/5 stars I would! Amy and John are the nicest, down to earth people you will ever meet and quickly felt like a part of the family! We send our two dogs to them when we go out of town and know they are in the best of hands! Amy is wonderful with communicating and paying attention to my dogs. Sending us updates throughout the day with photos of the pups. The dogs have the best of time with them and we know they are in great care. John and Amy provide a lot of services, including pick-up and drop-off, and nail trims! We've been very grateful for these services, having to schedule a last minute drop-off and appreciated them being so accommodating, it was worth every cent! I appreciate that Amy took the time to schedule a 'meet and greet' with me and our furry family before their first stay. Amy and John were recommended to us from friends and I was very nervous having my dogs away, but Amy assured me with her experience and set-up that the dogs were safe and in a clean yard! I cannot recommend Amy and John enough, I love supporting small business owners and you can really sleep soundly at night knowing your dogs are in the great care of John and Amy!

John and Amy are super sweet and friendly people! They make you feel like you have known them your whole life when you are there! Highly recommend trusting their business.

These guys are absolutely fantastic! They have gone above and beyond for me and my pups without a second thought. Affordable prices with staff that truly cares for your babies--what else could you ask for? Highly recommend using this place!

Sophie just LOVES Amy and Paws of Hope. She wakes me up every weekday morning ready to go and comes home happy!! Her demeanor has definitely changed for the better. I'm so happy we chose this alternative to crating at home alone all day!!!

I really recommend Paws of Hope. They took such a good care of my four legs babies. One thing that really noticed was one of my dogs didn’t let any stranger pet him before. And now he will let other kids to pet him. 🤩 Wow he got more social. Thank you. …

My girl Luna loves Happy Hounds!! She’s so excited to come and see all of her friends. Everyone who works there is so positive, welcoming, and really care for your pups! She comes home with all of her energy out. They also post pictures everyday which I love. I never have to worry about her while I’m at work!

My baby, Rickey, loves Happy Hounds! I thought he would go a couple of days a week but it has turned into 6 days a week and the occasional boarding. He is a high energy, blue heeler, and the evenings of him just sleeping are worth every single visit! Marcie is so kind as is every employee at Happy Hounds. I personally think my favorite part is how excitedly he is greeted with “Hi Rickey!” at drop off in the mornings. Doesn’t everybody want to take their fur babies somewhere where they know they’re going to be loved, cared for, and thoroughly exhausted when they’re picked up. 🤗

Such a great doggy day care. Zemo LOVES to play, so we had to try this place out because it had been recommended by a few friends. We've been taking Zemo to Happy Hounds for about a year now and it's been an awesome way for him to socialize off leash and get some energy out. The folks who work at Happy Hounds are fantastic with Zemo and we are so thankful for this place. PS - Happy Hounds often take lots of photos during the day to share on the Facebook page, which is really fun to see at the end of the day. Here are just a few I've saved. :)

My dog, Jamie, absolutely loves going to Happy Hounds! When we say 'do you want to go to daycare' she immediately runs the door and sits there wagging her tail until we are ready to take her. Jamie is a very skittish dog, and needs some patience/grace until she gets comfortable - which is exactly what the Happy Hounds staff gave her. I now see her extremely happy to interact with the staff and other dogs which tells me she is treated well and happy. The dogs get a lot of playtime and Jamie always comes home extremely tired - you know what they say: a tired dog is a HAPPY dog. We are very thankful for Happy Hounds and would highly recommend!

Happy Hounds Doggie Day Care is amazing, and Marcie has an exceptional knowledge of dogs. My dog Spencer has been going for about two years, and when I got my second dog, Murphy, a little over a year ago, he also began attending. They're both balls of energy at home without daycare, but going to daycare at least once a week, let's them release a ton of energy and makes them much calmer at home. I highly recommend Happy Hounds to anyone with a dog considering day care!

Happy hounds is quite possibly heaven on earth for dogs. I’ve been bringing my stupidly energetic dog there for roughly six months and she LOVES it! She’s excited to get there in the mornings and hates leaving in the afternoons. Marcie (the owner) is an amazing person who truly has an unparalleled love for dogs. For those worried about the 2 bad reviews, don’t. Marcie, along with all of her employees, are the truest of dog lovers. Lots of love for the happy hounds crew!

Such a great place! Bodie absolutely LOVES going here and playing all day. He comes back exhausted which is no small feat for our energetic boy!

Happy hounds is a great local business that excels in its area of service. The dogs that go here get a stimulating and exciting environment. The staff are kind and treat the dogs well and Marcie has a tremendous working knowledge of canine psychology and mannerisms. Your dog loves Happy Hounds, he or she just doesn't know it yet. Come on down to the compound, you won't regret it and your dog will thank you.

We moved to Alaska and no place compares to happy hounds. I wish we’d move back just for this place. Our dog who was super scared of most places absolutely LOVED going. He always came home so tired and content. Their daily photos and videos still make my day.

I've been bringing my dog, Nabisco, to Marcie for almost three years now. Happy Hounds was recommended to me by another doggie daycare when I moved to this area and I have never been disappointed. Marcie takes the time to learn each dogs personality and knows how to engage each one so their time at daycare is fulfilling. She (and her staff) regularly also post pictures on Facebook throughout the day so you can check in on how your pups doing. Nabisco has always been super excited to get to daycare once we pull in and he always seems happily tired when I pick him up :)

We were in town for a JMU football game and needed to board our 2 yorkies for the night. I called All About Paws about a week prior and found that they were able to take our dogs for the night for an extremely reasonable fee. The facility is right next to a vet clinic and offers doggie daycare, gooming, as well as boarding. I was happy to see it was clean, and the staff was very helpful. They made sure to find out our dogs' routine and feeding schedule. When we picked them up, our dogs didn't smell like a kennel, like they have from other boarding facilities. We will not hesitate to board our dogs with All About Paws next time we are in town.

Used All About Paws for their doggy day care! All the staff knew and loved on my dog. I felt like he was treated well and cared for. He came home happy and tired.

Love this place! So glad we found it for our punky pup..she has boarded here as well as daycare..she loves it..very clean & folks are friendly & accomodating!

Very rude owner!! Talked down to me in front of my child and made false and inaccurate statements. Kayla is wonderful. The owner unfortunately is very unprofessional and her mannerisms are not appropriate for the position she holds dealing with customers. Due to the lack of professionalism and the interactions we have had with her alone we have decided to find a better boarding facility where the owners treat the dogs and their owners with respect. Also we do not feel comfortable with a facility that never answers their phone or returns calls and there is a 50/50 chance of response in emails with long periods of a return. Again very unprofessional.

My dog Leo has been coming to daycare here for almost 2 years and him and I both LOVE IT! He gets so excited when I ask him if he wants to go to daycare. All the staff seem to genuinely care about him and I feel at peace everyday I work dropping him off in their care. Also, I cannot forget to add, convenience is amazing. If he needs vet treatment, ashby animal clinic is right upstairs and just slips down and grabs him. And last but certainly not least, Alia grooms him and does a PHENOMENAL JOB! She is a superwoman! Yall don't get enough thanks from people im sure, and I cannot begin to express my gratitude to you all♡

I've had a great experience with All About Paws. The scheduling process is quick and efficient and the space is clean and well organized. Staff have always been incredibly kind and helpful throughout the process and it is apparent that they …

I wish I could give the day-to-day staff a 5-star review while giving the owner 0 stars. I’ve been sending my dog there for about 8 months for day care and boarding, and she always came home happy and tired thanks to the girls who oversee …

I love All About Paws, but more importantly, my dog loves it there! I have been bringing my dog here for a few years now and have had no problems. I use AAP for both doggy daycare and boarding. I feel confident that my dog is safe and well …

First time leaving our babies behind with anyone who wasn’t family. When we dropped them off, it took awhile for someone to help us and I had to call about 3-4 times to alert the person at the desk that I was outside to drop off. Other than that little blip, I believe my babies were well taken care of and fed correctly!

Very friendly staff! Loved the fact that Max our dog could be inside or outside! Very clean facility! Will definitely visit All About Paws again! Thanks for looking after our fur-baby!🐾 …
