Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Ray and Lynn are absolutely the best pet sitters you could ask for. They were extremely responsive to texts and emails and chatted with us over WhatsApp before the sit. They were very flexible and arrived the night before our sit so we could leave early the next morning. They even brought us ice cream because it was Joe's birthday the day they arrived. Very thoughtful of them. They are very friendly, relaxed people that are easy to talk to. Our dogs immediately bonded to Lynn upon their arrival. The first morning our cat managed to sneak outside and was MIA overnight despite their valiant efforts to get him to return. Ray tried to capture him but our cat fought with him and escaped again before eventually returning the next morning. Unfortunately Ray was scratched and bit by the cat during this struggle. He developed an infection in his hand. We did offer to come home or find a replacement sitter so they could return to the US but they were able to get medical attention here and antibiotics. They are so kind and didn't want to ruin our vacation! Two days before we were to arrive home the infection in Ray's hand took a turn for the worse and they had no choice but to head home to the US to get immediate medical care. They waited for our friend to arrive before departing. We were so impressed with them that even under these stressful circumstances they cleaned our house and laundered the sheets. Our kitchen cupboards looked better organized than before we left. Our garden was watered and well cared for during the heat wave. They were excellent at sending updates and photos throughout the sit. Our dogs were very happy and well cared for. We cannot recommend them highly enough!
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

Honestly the absolute best pet sitters - Kayla and Chris are consummate professionals. They are caring, engaged and deeply committed. For many of us, our pets are our a part of our family and the decision of who should provide their care is not taken lightly. For us, Sandy Paws Pet Care is the best on the beach. We traveled for nearly 3 weeks -- we traveled with confidence as we knew our boys and our house were in excellent hands. From the first meeting, communications were clear and it was evident how much they love animals. We received daily updates and photos from walks, meals, play-time, snuggles and bed time. Have a picky eater -- no worries, our boys NEVER missed a meal, they ate better for Kayla and Chris than they do for us. Our dogs loved walking with Chris and playing in the yard with Kayla. Bruno loved his cuddle sessions with Kayla. Sandy was brushed daily to keep his coat in good shape. Chris even gave Sandy a bath -- a wet experience for both of them! He patiently hand dried Sandy and brushed him out. Our house was PRISTINE on return, everything neat clean, dishes done, floors cleaned, trash out, yard picked up. While the dogs were happy to see us, secretly they miss Kayla and Chris. Already booked Sandy Paws Pet Care for our next trip.
5 stars across the board - Dog Care - attentive, active & hands on Communication - before, during and after - updates and photos galore Professional Trustworthy Loving & Friendly (they feel like family) Clean (vacuumed, washed bedding and towels, took out the trash, cleared the yard of all poop, etc.) We have three dogs, each with their own special quirks, Kayla & Chris are great with them! From drop-ins to an eleven day stay, they have established a trusting relationship with us and our pups. They cared for our neurotic, thunder, rain, and fire works fearing lab, our energetic, playful, mostly obedient hound/pit mix and our finicky, timid, cat-like, lab without batting an eye. Attentive and loving. They have allowed us to have worry-free, stress-free vacation travel and coverage for day-trips and work. They are a God send and we are blessed to have them! Without reservation, I highly recommend Kayla and Chris @Sandy Paws Pet Care!
Sandy Paws Pet Care is the best! Kayla and Chris are reliable, trustworthy, and have been such a huge help. They are so good with my German Shepherd, spending time playing and loving on her as part of their walk/drop-in, and she LOVES them. I get lots of photos of my girl when they come by too, which always brightens my day. Highly recommend!
Kayla and Chris at Sandy Paws Pet Care are the best. They have such good energy and you can tell they love what they do. Our boy is 14 yrs old and needs extra care and attention which they provided, along with lots of love for him and his cat brother. I cannot say enough great things about them and how happy I am to have them in our lives, knowing our boys are in great hands. Added bonus is all of the great pictures Kayla will send (dog kisses, walks, cat belly rubs :) along with updates.
Kayla and Chris are the absolute best for pet care in the Outer Banks! We tried quite a few pet sitting services before finally finding Sandy Paws. What a breath of fresh air to finally find a service that is dependable, reliable and honest. The TLC that they have given our pets is just perfect. Their overnight care is so reassuring for our older pets. Their communication is wonderful. When they leave, you can’t even tell they were there! They clean up so nicely. What a bonus at the end of a trip! Thank you, Kayla and Chris … You have made it so that we feel comfortable to travel again and leave our babies behind. G
Kayla and Chris are amazing. I'm very picky about who watches my cat, and I immediately got a good sense when I interviewed Kayla and saw her interact with my cat. They did a great job. I hired them multiple times for overnight stays at my house. They were responsible, loving, responsive, and caring towards my cat. Kayla sent pictures and updates to me multiple times a day, and brought any concerns to me immediately. She has extensive training and instincts for medical care. 5 stars. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Kayla and Chris are fantastic! They both truly love what they do and it is reflected in the care they provide. Chris stayed with our 3 dogs this past weekend and he took such good care of our girls. He sent numerous pictures and reports throughout the day so we never worried. This was our first time leaving our girls with Kayla and Chris but we have already booked several future stays. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!
Kayla and Chris go above and beyond and we cannot recommend them more highly. They will love on your fur family like they are best buddies, while also keeping their eyes on all the little things that might need attention while you’re away. We have had them keeping our fur family safe for years now and they mourned with us when one of ours passed and celebrated when our daughter brought her (very needy) baby to them to keep while she traveled). We are so grateful to have such caring, compassionate, honest care-givers in our area.
Exceptional! Kayla and Chris were absolutely incredible with Reggie. They sent loads of pictures of him in real time. Seeing him eating/drinking, walking, playing, cuddling, getting belly, rubs, etc., allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It was clear when we came home that he had been well-loved. I appreciate that Kayla and Chris customize their care (overnight stays; scheduled drop ins; etc.) They did extras for us such as grabbing mail, pulling up trash cans, and so forth. Way above and beyond any expectations we had. So grateful! I wish everything came with such piece of mind.
I was concerned when I went on vacation but Sandy Paws took great care of my elderly cat. In fact they spoiled him rotten with lots of loving and his favorite treats. They were wonderful and sent me pictures every day. Best pet sitters. Thank you.
Owners made this experience so much easier than we could've hoped. We recently rescued a second Aussie Cattle Dog, Walker but are still working through some issues. We knew he couldn't stay in the beach house with us (too many people and their dogs already) but were terrified about dropping him off in a kennel due to his having been abandoned so many times by previous owners. Pam and Paul put us at ease; they clearly know what they're doing and how to handle sometimes-dificult dogs. They also sent us regular updates on Walker's progress adjusting to his surroundings which was nice. I definitely recommend taking Pam's advice on visits during your pet's stay! Walker almost didn't want to leave when we went to pick him up. We will definitely use Ocean Sands K9 in the future, if needed. I can not recommend this place more!
Pam did a great job easing our anxiety (human and dog) when we had to board our dogs for a few days while on vacation. We usually opt for pet friendly places, so this was a new experience. The care, thought and time Pam and Paul put in sets the standard, and it’s a high bar. We would not hesitate to return.
We used the doggie day care option while we visited the outer banks. We didn't want to leave our 2 dogs home alone all day while we were at the beach or out visiting the wild horses. They were there for 2 days with Pam & Paul. They had a really great time. You can tell these are really caring dog people. The first day, my one beagle was a little scared in the beginning. On the second morning, he ran in and didn't look back! Pam showed me a video of them getting love from her and you can really see how they liked her. I'm happy to know I can take my dogs on vacation and still have the freedom to do things knowing they are well taken care of. Thanks Pam & Paul!
If I could give 10 stars I would. Pam and Paul are amazing human beings . They took such great care of our dog Millie. She was all smiles when we picked her up. Don't hesitate to bring your pups here. They will be in great hands.
Fantastic experience. You can pick you dog up and take them to the beach and hangout with them anytime monday-saturday 9:30am-4:30pm. Very friendly staff and a super homey feeling. The food guy is awesome and so is the desk lady, Pam. Highly recommend, and much cheaper than boarding my pup at home, plus I get to visit with him and have him on the beach with us! 11/10!
This place is awesome and these people are angels! They cared for our two pups, Guster and Gizmo, during our family vacation in the OBX. We had peace of mind while they were there and we were able to pick them up for some day trips to explore and spend time with them. Everytime we returns them, they went running back in, and we’re happy to be back! This speaks volumes to the care they received. When it came time to leave, our little guy Gizmo sat down beside Pam and didn’t want to leave. Thank you both!
I’m so glad I found this place while on vacation in Duck this week! I feel like my 80 pound pitbull is in great hands with Pam. She gives us daily reports on his activity/bowels, and I can tell she genuinely cares about making sure our pet is happy and comfortable…she’s super knowledgeable and a true “dog person”. I love that this kennel allows us to pick him up daily to take him out for a few hours - I would definitely book again during our next stay in OBX!
My pups traveled with me to the Outer Banks abs stayed at Ocean Sands while I vacationed with friends. I didn’t worry about them at all after watching their excitement when I dropped them off. When I picked them up, I could tell they had a great experience. I will definitely bring them back on my next trip!
Our pups, Chloe and Luna stayed for a 3 night stay at Ocean Sands. When we got there, Pam and her husband were there to greet us. They let our dogs sniff around and made sure they were comfortable. While they were acclimating to the space, Pam talked to us and made us feel comfortable with leaving our dogs there. Once they were comfortable, they set up their beds and we were on our way. Pam is extremely meticulous and followed our directions exactly (that is sometimes not typical with boarding places unfortunately.) She even accommodated us when we asked to pick our dogs up later than planned. Our dogs came back looking the exact same as we had dropped them off, and it was clear they had eaten all their food like normal (which again, isn’t typical or our dogs when being boarded.) It is clear that Pam pays great attention to the dogs because when she called, she explained that our one dog wanted lots of attention while our other dog basically couldn’t care less (exactly how they are at home!) The prices are extremely reasonable and she’s very up front about pricing, which I appreciate because a lot of places aren’t. I would recommend boarding your dogs here and absolutely will be taking our doggos here when we visit again. Thank you Pam!
Thankful for Pam and Paul for their care of our babies, Caliche & Iggy. They go the extra mile to make sure your pup’s stay is safe and fun.
We needed to board our dog while staying in the Outer Banks because our rental wouldn't allow dogs. I found Jennifer by doing a google search of dog sitters in the area. I am so happy to have come across her website! She was communicative from start to finish, sent lots of pictures of my dog, and even sent him home with a few treats!! I could tell he was happy and well cared for during his stay in the OBX. Best of all, we had peace of mind and could fully enjoy our vacation knowing he was doing just fine. I would absolutely book with Jennifer again.
Jennifer is amazing. Not only is she extremely responsive to texts, you can immediately tell from meeting her that she absolutely adores dogs of all shapes and sizes. She watched our dog for 4 nights and even let us pick him up during the day so he could still enjoy the beach with us (our OBX rental was not pet friendly). Our pup can be a picky eater, but she somehow found a way to get him to eat reliably by dressing up his food. She even sent us home with a carton of unsalted chicken broth for him! I have the feeling that she goes above and beyond for all of her clients like this. All I can say is, dropping Teddy off with Jennifer at OBX Paradise Petsitting felt like we were leaving him with a friend. He was always super excited to see her in the evenings when we dropped him off and we got sooo many pictures of him snoozing on her couch. As a dog owner, it's such a relief to know that your dog is getting the best care. I 100% trust Jennifer with our pup and I can't say that for some of the other boarding places we've used. She is such a sweet, loving, and hardworking lady. We will definitely be calling her again because I'm pretty sure my dog already misses her! I highly recommend OBX Paradise Petsitting for all your pet-sitting needs.
I have used Jennifer as my pet sitter for over 2 years and am pleased, comfortable, and confident leaving all my pets in her care. She is responsible and gets to know each pet individually. She’s very reliable and has always stepped up to the plate when I have an unexpected trip out of town. It’s a great feeling to know that your pets are in good hands when you can’t be with them yourself. Would highly recommend Jennifer!
I had the most amazing experience with Jennifer while I was visiting OBX!! She watched my one year old Portuguese Water Dog for 5 days and I couldn’t recommend a better service!! She sent me updated photos all day and took him to the dog park at least once a day!! I know he had such a wonderful time with Jennifer which made my trip even better knowing that he was in good hands! I will definitely be using her again for my next trip to the OBX!!
Needed to board my dog last minute while in OBX and Paradise Pet Sitting saved our trip! Jennifer, Mike, and Ariel were wonderful to my dog and took her in as part of the family. Jennifer even got her a no-pull harness which has been so helpful in walking her. I received regular updates and pictures which put my mind at ease. They really went above and beyond and I think she had the best vacation of all of us. I can't recommend them enough and we hope to visit again next year when we come down.
Jennifer was so wonderful with our dog while we were in the outer banks visiting. She treated him like her own and took him on daily walks to the beach and even gave him a bath before we picked him up. She updated us throughout the trip with pictures and how his day was. She and her family loved him like their own while he was there. Highly recommend her services.
We have utilized Jennifer's petsitting service since moving to the Outer Banks full time in 2018. Jennifer comes to our house when we travel to take care of our older kitty who needs a little extra attention and care. We couldn't be more pleased. Our cat is particularly shy and standoffish to strangers, but she loves Jennifer. I appreciate that Jennifer texts me pictures of our kitty each visit and let's me know how things are going, she also leaves me a note on our kitchen counter with updates on how the visits were. It is such a relief to have someone reliable looking in our cat and also comforting to have her keeping an eye on our house when we are gone. She will retrieve the mail if I forget to put a hold on it, take out the garbage if needed and always goes the extra mile for us, highly recommend Jennifer for anyone needing care for their fur babies!
It's so reassuring to know that my pets receive loving care whenever I'm away from home. Jennifer is an animal lover who showers her clients' pets with the same love and concern that her own animals have received. She has cared for my dogs and cats over the years and I'm always at ease knowing they're safe and receiving lots of attention.
Just picked my dog up from a weekend with Jennifer and he was all smiles! She takes the time to get to know your animal and gives updates throughout their stay, she even suggested a new harness and it’s helped with our walks immensely. She’s the best!
Jennifer was very accommodating to our off season travel. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was happy, eating, exercised, and loved on!
Looks great my wife was so excited until we got there. Immediately left after our brief conversation with I believe her name is Maddie. The rudest most unwelcoming person to have in an establishment. Would hate to see her around your dogs. Hate to let one person ruin an experience for our pups but I’ve learned to go with my wife’s gut :)
Great staff who takes great care of our fur baby. Highly recommend! She has a blast everything she goes.
Dogs Love This Great Place! The Entire Staff are the Strength and Joy our Dogs enjoy. While visiting Great Neck Doggy Daycare, all you see are happy, playing pups! Safe, Sound, Wonderful Value .
if i could rate this place zero i would. first off the receptionist was very rude over the phone because she didnt know how to read my puppies shot records. they say they take puppies under 6 months but clearly dont know all the weeks when they need their shots. you cant give a 8 week old puppy a 16 week old shot, thought that was common sense. if my puppies vet told me one thing, im going to go with his opinion not some receptionist at a doggie day care. the "vet techs" do not know what they are doing and are very rude. dont feel comfortable leaving my puppy there, let alone stepping in the building. seems like receptionist are the ankle biters and not the dogs.
10 STARS!!!! I have been taking my Lab Magnolia Bay to Great Neck Doggie Daycare for almost a year now! She ABSOLUTELY LOVES going!!! The entire staff is amazing and takes such awesome care of her!!! Extremely clean and always fun decorated for all the different Holidays! Such an amazing Daycare!
I wish there was a button for zero stars because they don’t even deserve the one. The manager Christy was hired because she is a behavior specialist for dogs, which I find to be a joke. Not only does she not care about the dogs, she is the rudest person I have ever met! Don’t bother telling the owner either, because all he cares about is making money. I’m so glad my dog no longer goes there. If you send your dog, you better be on the lookout because they have some workers that kick the dogs and on several occasions I have seen workers running out to take dogs to the emergency vet due to injuries they obtained at this facility. If you love your dog get them out of there as fast as you can! There motto of treating dogs like family while in there care couldn’t be more farther from the truth!
A truly wonderful place that my pup loves to go to. She will drag me in there because she is just so excited to see other dogs and the staff too!
I take my Golden to this daycare twice a week. At the end of the day I can tell she has been playing hard and having fun . She comes home and eats her dinner and sleeps all night long with only one walk before bed. I really like the swimming pool there and being able to use the pool area with my dog whenever it's available. I also like the monitors they have at the front desk where you can watch your dog interacting with other dogs when they are placed in the outdoor yards.
Definitely recommend! We have been going here for about a month or two now. Our dog loves it! He seems excited to go everytime. The staff is great and seem very excited and have been great with my dog. They have a yard for large dogs and a separate yard to small dogs. They also have a legit in-ground pool for the dogs to play in. Priced pretty reasonably. !
My 7 month old puppy, Tula , LOVES GNDD. Every time I pick her up, the staff is quick to tell me what a good girl Tula was and that she had made LOTS of new friends. She plays the ENTIRE TIME she is at day care. And when one friend is tired of playing, she picks up on their cues and find another doggie to run and play with. When she gets home Tula is happy and EXHAUSTED!
We have been taking our dog to the Ruff House for over a year now. They treat her just like we would, and have really helped with her socialization and training. She loves the daycare, and we also regularly use their grooming services. They are truly wonderful, I recommend them to everyone!
We love The Ruff House in Greenbrier. The employees are happy and excited when you drop off and very efficient when you pick up. We tried another daycare near Great Neck in VA Beach (near my office) and had problems with our pup being bit. They blamed him saying he wasn’t reading social cues from the other dog. He did his temperament test at The Ruff House and they said while he did get amped up once (he’s a year and a half old), he was very good at social cues. He hasn’t had any issues. I believe they have more supervision and interaction with the staff. We have been so happy that our boy can get to play with his friends! He is tuckered out after a day of play! (He’s the yellow lab)
The Ruff House has been amazing! My Leti girl gets so excited when it's time to go in for daycare or boarding. I can trust them to treat my puppy with love and care. The report cards and pictures are a plus as a first time dog owner. Thank you Ruff House staff!
Staff is super friendly - never had any issues with booking, communication, or follow-up questions. I love getting pics of my puppers playing with other dogs her age during boarding. They always take care to keep her with the other grey-faced older dogs, knowing puppies are just too energetic for her. I always feel secure knowing my dog is being cared for while I’m away.
We take our dog there regularly for enrichment, daycare, and boarding. He always comes home so happy. The people there are wonderful and deeply love all the animals in their care. I can’t recommend them enough.
We are so thankful for and love The Ruff House Stay & Play at Greenbrier!! They give us so much peace of mind and reassurance that our sweet 2-year old dog, Fiyero is receiving the best care possible while we are away! The team is always responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. They constantly go above and beyond and show an authentic love and care for all the animals they are caring for. Fiyero is always excited to go to overnight boarding, and he always comes home well taken care and in great spirits! We are so grateful for the amazing team at The Ruff House Stay & Play at Greenbrier for the endless love they show our sweet, but high energy dog!
I just moved to Virginia and wanted to find a safe enriching day care for our dog. The Ruff House (Chesapeake) is amazing. Our puppy Pompeii has a great time there and comes home tired and happy. They feed him and make sure he’s an environment for his temperament. When I drop him off he goes with the handler no hesitation! They post pictures of your pet to your profile and cute report cards. Reasonable pricing too! I love this daycare and so does Pompeii
I have nothing but good things to say and would recommend their services to anyone. My dogs (and even my cat) love it here, and I never worry for a second when I leave them in their care. You can tell everyone is very passionate about caring for the animals, and the business is run efficiently and professionally.
My two babydogs, Rocky & Hazel, absolutely love it here when they are boarded. The care is top-tier which I appreciate as a loving & highly protective dogmom. My pups mean the world to me and I have so much peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands while I’m away. I also greatly appreciate the photos seeing them at play with other dog friends. Thank you for the quality service and amazing customer service! This will always be their home away from home when I need to travel out of town.
My 13-month-old golden retriever recently began attending daycare, and I have noticed that he is quite fatigued when I pick him up. However, I am pleased to see that he is actively socializing and developing his confidence. The staff at the daycare has been exceptional; they are highly professional and demonstrate a deep understanding of how to handle and care for each of their clients.
Claudia is amazing! She has been so kind to work around my unpredictable work schedule for daycare and boarding when I'm out of town for work. My 1 year old corgi, Daisy, absolutely LOVES going to Claudia's and playing on her backyard toys! I always get photos and videos on how Daisy's days are going, which I love because then I know Daisy is happy and well cared for the entire time (see attached photos). Claudia has also been very helpful in improving Daisy's training and very open to implementing the techniques I use at home. Claudia is a blessing to Daisy and I! I would 100% recommend her to anyone else in the area looking for a place to board, or drop their doggies off for daycare.
Claudia is incredible! We couldn't be happier with our dog-sitting experience with her! From the moment she met our dog Murphy, it was clear she has a natural gift with pups. She immediately connected with him, which made him feel at ease right away. Every day of the three months she cared for Murphy, he came home exhausted from a full day of play, socializing, and receiving lots of love and attention. The obstacle course play/training and fetch were particular highlights. He really had a maxed out fun day every day there. Claudia was also incredibly accommodating with a few schedule adjustments that popped up, which made things so much easier for us. Murphy was in great hands—and it showed! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Claudia. We travel a lot and she is by far the best dog care pro we’ve come across. Thank you, Claudia, for giving us peace of mind and making sure Murphy had the best time while we were in Norfolk!
Claudia is a true dog lover, kind person, and all around caring guardian of fur babies. I do not worry at all when I leave my dogs with her days or sometimes weeks. She sends me photos and frequent updates on how they’re doing. My dogs are lap dogs and love the attention from her kids. They walk right inside when I drop them off, like they’re happy to be there. Highly recommend her as a boarding option!
Claudia is amazing with our pup! When we drop her off, she doesn’t look back because she is so excited to spend time there!! Our dog has dietary restrictions and Claudia is ALWAYS able to accommodate!!! I get lots of updates but honestly I don’t have anything to worry about, my dog is in great hands!! I am so happy I came across her daycare! I will only use her for boarding our pup!
I cant recommend Claudia enough! She is incredibly flexible and you can tell that she really loves what she does. She communicates wonderfully and sends pictures while your pet is with her and I can tell that my pup had a great time during both stays. It’s a gift when you don’t have to worry about your pet while you’re gone and that is absolutely the case with Claudia!
My dog loves going to Claudia’s, he wags his tail and pulls to get in her house every time! Claudia takes care of him as if he was one of her own. It’s comforting to know that my dog is in a loving home getting lots of attention, instead of sitting in a crate all day like most boarding places. Claudia also sends pictures and updates while your dog is there to put your mind even more at ease. I would never want to board my dog anywhere else!
We always take our dogs with us but feel so fortunate to have found Claudia to care for our 2 Dobermans and golden retriever. She’s beyond amazing - very experienced, conscientious, always keeping us up to date on how the dogs are doing. They just love her - get great exercise, playtime and are well taken care of. We would highly recommend her! She deserves 10++stars!!
Claudia was amazing with my two small dogs. They enjoyed being at her house. Claudia was very easy to work with for over 2 1/2 years that we lived in the area. I always knew my dogs were being well taken care of with her.
Claudia is amazing & our pups love staying with her! She has a fenced-in backyard and always sends us photos of our dogs having a great time - she makes an effort to ensure they still get the love and attention away from home. Claudia is always very reliable & makes us feel at ease when we go out of town and can’t take our pups with us. I wouldn’t know what to do without her!
Claudia loves, cares and engages with every dog as if they were her own. Our pup quivers with excitement when he sees Claudia’s house! We have nothing but praise for her skills and not a worry when he is with her.
Blue Sky Farms is simply the most amazing place for your pet to go. All of the people are so friendly, loving and wonderful people. I had a emergency happen and hands down they were there for me and my dog (Lump). His owner had just passed away and they took her in to help me as if she was their own. I can't even put in words how blessed and grateful I am for them. I will praise and recommend them to everyone. Thank you all for what you do there for ALL animals.
We have been using Blue Sky Farms for several years now to care for our baby while away. He is diabetic and requires insulin twice daily and they have taken care of his needs. A big Thank You to BSF!
Jeannine and the family are like a second home to our little girl. When we show up she starts wiggling with excitement! With dependability and consistent schedules, and fair rates, I know I can turn to her and feel safe leaving Luna as long as she has room and we reserve in advance. The updates to the facilities are outstanding! Climate controlled boarding areas, small pools, fantastic toys, couches, and genuinely caring people. THERES NOTHING ELSE YOU COULD WANT! Long Ridge Road is the place to go! Update...its been a year later and I still wouldn't change one thing on the review except I wish there was another one in Tennessee! I don't know what we will do without them!
We have boarded our 70 pound Golden Doodle at Blue Sky Farms of K9 Country Inn since she was a puppy. She is treated so well in their care that when we are taking her to board, we tell her she is going to Camp and she gets excited. The people there treat her as family. She gets plenty of outdoor exercise and socializes with similar size dogs. The staff is professional and knowledgeable in the proper care and handling of dogs. The facilities have always been clean and maintained well. We would not consider leaving our pet anywhere else. We have the highest confidence in her treatment and care.
Great value in the packages that they provide, love the half day option. Jeannie and her staff are amazing with the dogs. The renovations that have been made are amazing, our pup Luna always comes home happy and tired. Thanks Jeannie.
I adopted a 5 month old Mountain Cur dog. So cute BUT out of control. I dreaded coming home. Blue Sky Farms saved me. Cali now walks on a leash, does not chase my horses or kill anymore chickens/ducks. She stopped chewing on me as a bone, does not attack/jump on visitors. I am so happy I found you guys and you were able to perform miracles. My other dog (Lucy) even likes her now.
We just picked our dogs up after "their" vacation at Blue Sky Farms. The kennels are clean and spacious. We enjoyed the Facebook pictures and posts. Our dogs were happy and well cared for while we were away. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. We will definitely use them again.
The kennel was great. One of my two mastiffs had an open wound that happened the day before I left for my trip. They took care of Sarge and I am very grateful. Five star service, both dogs came home smiling.
We have been boarding our dogs to Blue Sky Farms for over 5 years and we love it. Our Pug is getting up in age, and does not play well with others. The staff go out of their way to pay extra attention to him during his stay. Our dogs usually stay an average of 10 days, and they both come home fit and happy. I would like to thank the staff for taking such good care of our two "babies."
We take our Bloodhound and GSD for grooming, boarding and the occasional Day Care. The owners are excellent trainers and knowledgeable of dogs. One of my pups is not overly social. Blue Sky team is able to handle her and give her the chance to play with other animals, something I do not trusted others with. My pups are always super excited to see me, let's me know they enjoyed their time with the Sky team.
So much fun. Wasn’t sure about it before going but had a good time and I think my dog did too
I was their strictly as an observer. My daughter is training my "grandpup" . The instructors are knowledgable and patient
My 10 month old has been coming here since was 5 months, and she will be a lifer. Rita is amazing with the dogs. Her set up is amazing. She keeps the bigger dogs separate from the little ones so the little ones don’t get hurt. She has awesome playgrounds for the kiddies to climb and vast amount of land for them to run. Providing you bring your pup’s good, she gives them breakfast and dinner. The kiddos also have a nap time. My baby met her best friend there; that are now inseparable. For those who complain about the owner’s pickiness on what breeds are allowed, it is her prerogative: SHE’S THE OWNER!!! 🤔 I know put bulls, since I see that’s the main complaint, and, yes, they can be gentle and wonderful with people. However, when they get into playing rough, they don’t realize their jaw strength and locking. So do some research yourselves. The owner has been wonderful and works with me if I’m running late or need to bored my pup last minute. I truly hope she stays around for a very, very long time.
Rita and her team are amazing. They care for our dog Beau like he is their own! Every morning Beau is by my side ready to go to his second home for day care! Your pets will be loved and in good hands, they will also have so much fun with their friends they will sleep through the night! Love this place! Dave
Best place ever! From the second I brought my 10 month old Catahoula/Beagle mix she was smiling and happy. When we picked her up she was happy to see us and exhausted. The fact that she was a bit dirty only proved to me she played well. Great prices and lots of room for her to run. I will be taking her regularly to burn off all that excessive energy she has.
My dog loves it here! Rita is great! I feel safe sending my sweet baby here! Definitely recommend!
Not worth it!! This dog daycare has the shadiest yard full of crappy home made "agility equipment/dog equipment." The crates for the dogs are way too small for any dog bigger than a corgi. The owner will complain about your dog if it plays with other dogs. She also doesn't know what 2 dogs playing looks like, says they are fighting. She has clearly never seen grown dogs play. I've taken my dog to countless parks and not once have I ever had to yell at him for playing too rough neither has my girlfriend! Usually it's other dogs playing too rough! Definitely not worth the money, like all she does is sit there, it's not that hard to watch dogs play all day and make sure they have water. Then to have her b**** and moan about what your dog does. He's a dog. Let him be a dog!
If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I brought my dogs here 5 times over the span of one month and each time I dropped them off the owner had something rude to say. This daycare is nothing more than a glorified fenced in backyard with hazardous junk all over the place. I liked the fact that they were outside all day until I saw the inside facilities. There were a couple medium sized wire kennels that my large dogs could barely lay down in. But I figured it was okay to bring just during the day for daycare- I NEVER boarded them here (and you shouldn't either unless you have a small dog. Even then I would advise against it). The last couple times I have picked them up they were quarantined by themselves. If I wanted them alone in a backyard I could do that at home for free. Today I was asked to not bring my dogs back because they play too rough and get the other dogs excited. THEY'RE DOGS!! I have two high energy young dogs that play a little rough with one another but would never hurt another dog or person. They've been to countless dog parks and 3 other daycares in different states I've lived in and they have never had any issue getting along. My one dog was used as the Trial Day Dog at her last daycare- if new dogs didn't get along with her, they weren't allowed to stay. So that just goes to show how ridiculous this place is. The ONLY plus to this place was how cheap it is. But I guess you get what you pay for. Save your money and send your dog somewhere else.
This is the only place I'll board both my dogs at (11yr Cocker Spaniel & 4yr Toy Poodle), Once I get out the food container, bedding and say the words lets go see Nanny they know where they're going and get anxious to leave. Once we get to the family dog club facility they can't wait to get out of the car, they run straight to the gate. This tells me a lot about how they feel about the place, sometimes they run inside and don't look back to say good bye. I travel 1 to 3 weeks at a time 2 to 4 times a year and I can’t see myself boarding them in a place that keeps them locked up in kennels for 20 hours a day for 1 to 3 weeks at a time. Here it’s open boarding, to them it's like going on a long doggy park trip. They get lots of exercise while interacting with other dogs for the entire day, this means they will get dirty, which I’m OK with knowing they are moving around freely just like at home. I just give them a bath once back home. They sleep soundly for a few days once back home recovering from all that exercise. Best prices I've found. This is their home away from home when I have to travel.
Family Dog Club is a fun experience in a professional atmosphere. And not just for the dogs I mean. Humans actually enjoy it as well ! The training rings are quite large and are changed around often, as opposed to one ring with one setup. The dogs actually has to think as opposed to just one the dogs eventually just do by memory. They also board dogs & have 'Doggy Daycare' & w/ only "top-of-the-line" care. Last but not least, the owner and staff are down to earth and could not be more honest and friendly. They will actually tell you if they think their Club or daycare is not the right fit for your dog & you rather than keep the dog coming and have a frustrated dog and owner. To run across that kind of honesty these days is amazing. I guess I could have just said in a word the family dog Club is; "Amazing"!
