Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
We’re so grateful for the love and care Vanessa gave our two dogs while we were traveling for a weekend. During our trip, she sent us pictures and our dogs always looked happy and at ease. Even during a thunderstorm she cared for our scared older dog who unfortunately had a little accident, and she cleaned up with no complaint. We didn’t have to worry at all which let us truly enjoy our weekend away knowing our dogs were in the best hands! Vanessa was clean and tidy. We returned home to a neat house and happy pups! She even did the laundry without us asking. We would highly recommend Vanessa as a sitter for anyone. Thank you so much!!
Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.
Veronica House sat for us for a month. She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat. Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals. They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them. When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe, she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity. She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks. This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy. A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in. Our cat was so content and well-groomed upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention, too. Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day. I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home. We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.

With Downtown Pups, your fur baby gets the very best treatment. I love that they take such care when grooming my 3 fur babies. They only use the very best products on them and the are quick and efficient. I been to another groomer for a 9 am appointment and my baby was there for 6 hours!! That’s when Downtown Pups got my businesses and I am so grateful I made that switch!
Molly had a great experience and didn’t even wanna leave. I had difficulty cutting her nails at home and found ease with getting an appointment here at Downtown Pups! Such a cute little shop with staff that absolutely loves our furbabies just like we do. We will be back!
Downtown Pups took such great care of my girl! I have an 80lbs Greater Swiss Mountain dog and she went in for a bath and deshed and she came out seriously smelling SO GOOD. I’m going to need to ask what they put on her. She looks amazing, smells fabulous, and came out with the cutest pink bandana! Everyone there was very nice and attentive! We will be back again!
Great place to take your pups! They did an excellent job on the haircut. They got them in and out in 2 hours. That’s important to me because every other groomer I have gone to takes at least 4 hours and I could never understand why. The place is nice and clean and that is important too for the health of your pet. I definitely recommend.
Yesterday was the first time we used Downtown Pups for doggy daycare. I was so impressed by how we were greeted, and how quickly we were able to get our dogs with the others! My wife said the check out process was incredibly smooth too. We move to Hopewell next week, and we can't wait to use them more for our energetic pups!
Took my 2 shi Tzu's for the first time last week! It was great! They looked awesome, the price was very really and they were ready an hour and a half after I dropped them off!! Definitely recommend and will definitely be back on a few months!!
This hurts me to post this but I was very disappointed with how my dog came out from our recent trip. It took almost 2 and a half hours for a simple cut, bath and nail trim and to top it off they didn't listen to how I want my dog cut. I showed a picture from one other time Cooper was groomed there. I explained that I wanted him shaved but to leave his mustache and beard as they were but they proceeded to trim it anyway. For what was paid and to take as long as it did for the results was unsatisfactory. Very disappointed with this experience
They did a fabulous job on my 5 month old Yorkie. She had some matted hair and they took care of that. I am so happy with their business and look forward to going back to have my baby looking so cute. Highly recommended you won’t be dissatisfied!!!! Before and after pictures. I can now see her eyes and she smells great to!!!!
They did such a great job with my baby!! She looks perfect! Definitely recommend them for your fur babies!
We were only here for 6 months and sent our dog for daycare and boarding primarily. He had a BLAST. They provide small group and supervised play, training activities, and enrichment. The staff go above and beyond, including eating their lunches or providing extra treats for my dog when he was boarding to make sure he ate his food. The daycare hours are great, and I really appreciated being able to tour the facilities before buying a daycare package. The 90lb pyre-doodle also got groomed here a few times, and, each time, he turned out looking fantastic. Very experienced grooming staff, and all of them will love your fur baby as much as you do. One of the best spots in Hopewell, and we will miss these guys!
Took our Yorkie there to be groomed which included bathing, cut, ears and nails done. Told them to shave a little closer from his eyes to back of his nose as they have watery eyes and that helps them look better. Well they shaved too much between eyes and nose, has sparsely hairs all over his face above his eyes was not clipped. For the price deeply unsatisfied will not be bringing him back there and of course do not recommend the business.
Took my goldendoodle there to get a haircut today and I’m very happy with the results, they did a great job and his haircut looks great and he smells very good.
I have a small Yorkie with special ears and Joy Luck Pup gets her right everytime. I admire her expertise on dog cuts and I value her opinion each time. I love bringing my pup here. The service and prices are very good.
I took my dog tugs over there to get her a bath clipper nails she's such a little scaredy cat when it comes to stuff like that but they did an excellent job if they don't mind I'll probably bring her back and get her a bath again something she needs to get used to
This is my dogs 2nd cut (Maltese Apollo) and after being turned away from pet smart for being a biting baby this place saved the day!!! She is very professional. He was there from 12-5 , although I was worried. She was taking her time and getting the job done. He looks amazing ! I will be going back
Joy luck has been grooming my three dogs for 3 years. They do quality work and are the nicest people. Thank you Mrs. Jay and her girls. Prices and service are great. I will be using them for many more years.
My Cinnamon went yesterday and got all dolled up! Miss J and her staff never disappoints when I bring my baby in! They’re very professional, kind . Thank you ladies !
I decided to give this place a chance based off the reviews, I wish I didn’t. I left quickly because I was in a rush and wasn’t able to throughly examine the quality, my mistake. Whoever is grooming the dogs is not professionally trained. I made an appointment for my dogs, 1 haircut, and 2 baths. When I came in I spoke with the owner about EXACTLY what I wanted I told her I wanted a 4 blade all over, blend the head, with a light trim on the tail. I’ve been grooming my dog for years (trained by a professional) but recently had to stop due to nerve condition in my hands. Therefore I know exactly what I’m looking for, what I asked for was not what I received. I was told all of my dogs behaved great, however my dog that got the hair cut was choppy, uneven and a full inch longer than what I requested. Her feet were not properly trimmed and had multiple spots that weren’t even trimmed, no standard sanitary trim was done on belly or butt. My dogs head was cage dried leaving it curly and uneven, it looks like my dog was just skimmed of a few flyaways, given a bath and put in cage dryer, she sadly looks awful. My 1 dog that got a bath was fine but she’s a short coat chihuahua so it’s hard to mess that up. My other dog who received a bath was not given a blow out after I intentionally said he likes to be blown out and needs it to help with his minor shedding. If you’re looking for a place to bathe your short single coated dog this place will work for you, however if you’re wanting a professional cut definitely avoid this place.
We gave this place a shot based on reviews but our experience was nothing like what we read. The appointment time was not met/honored...1 hour and 15 mins. after is when they finally began working on our dog. The place reaks of cigarette smoke since they smoke inside the building. We were told they give a "teacher discount" but that didn't get applied because they added a "difficult dog" fee that added that money directly back. Their idea of a difficult dog was one that was nervous and scared of their extremely loud blow dryer. Our dog is stubborn for sure (standard poodle) but not so difficult that he can't be groomed. Then we showed them a picture of the cut we wanted and we got a cut that barely took anything off and has us spending more money to get our pooch groomed somewhere else. Oh, did I mention that we were there for 3.5 hours??? Insane when we had an appointment that was not honored. Completely unsatisfied with this place and hope others get better results if they choose to go.
They did a wonderful job with out female German Shepard
Very nice lady owner. The kennel is well established. I was talking to the owner and her family has owned this kennel for like almost 50 years. My dog is currently there because I’m supposed to travel . And I really appreciate her care for Biscuit. When I pick up Biscuit and years ago picked up my daughter’s little Chihuahua Cindy (who passed away from old age ) from the kennel they looked happy and taking care of. I use this Kennel and another Kennel in Colonial Heights and I highly recommend them both. The kennel is affordable & service is professional they will take good care of your four-legged friend . Conrecode Kennel meets the Topflight Seal of Customer approval .
My pit has been here about 4 times and she’s almost a year old. She loves it here and seems like she never wants to leave. They are very accommodating and professional. I also love it because they take Pits and i know a lot of places don’t.
Perfect for the last minute drop off. People are Nice, professional and accommodating. Had last minute obligations and had to make sure my boys were ok. Perfect solution.
Taking my dogs to a kennel during a busy holiday weekend was a last minute decision. I called several other kennels in the area, but everyone was booked. Conrecode Kennel had availability—now I see why no one booked with them 😣 June 30th—I took my dogs to a scheduled “Meet and Greet“ with the owner (that I suggested) She seemed to be both nice & caring when we got there. During the meet & greet, I mentioned to her that I had never taken my dogs to a kennel and the first thing she said was, “that’s okay, they‘re small, they can stay in the house with me…just bring their cage when you come along with their food and your payment!” —I said okay and this made me happy to know that my girls would be well taken care of in a family environment. July 1st—I had my boyfriend drop the girls off because I had to work—I packed their bowls, snacks, FOOD, cage and leashes because the owner mentioned that she wanted to walk them when it was time to potty instead of letting them roam freely. I was cool with that. After dropping the dogs off my boyfriend called me and he said, “I don’t feel comfortable with them being there” at that point I knew this was a bad idea 😔 Fast forward to pick-up… July 5th- I called prior to picking the girls up. When I arrived, I rang the door bell and waited. The lady soon came out and said, “Are you here to pick up Charlie?” I said no out loud, but in my mind I was thinking…”wait…so you don’t know who I am and which dogs belong to me?!?!“ I walked around the house and the cage that I had my boyfriend drop off was outside with a bucket of ice was on top and the owner says, “I’m not going to lie to you, but I put them in the kennel for a few hours!” I just said okay. She walked around to the kennel to get my dogs. When they came out, their harnesses were not on them properly and they smelled of tobacco! I put them in the car and left. But before leaving the owner mentioned to me how spoiled my dogs were and how one of them whined a lot. When I arrived home, I looked in their bag and the bag with food that I had packed for them was still full. Had they eaten? What had she been feeding them if they had been eating? My dogs looked so sad when they got home, their tails were not wagging, they were stinky, and hungry. I fed and bathed them and let them out to potty. THEY HAD DIARRHEA!!! This lets me know that she hadn’t been feeding them their food! I DO NOT RECOMMEND CONRECODE KENNEL IF YOU LOVE YOUR DOGS—♥️♥️ DO NOT TAKE THEM TO CONRECODE KENNEL! ~signed, an unhappy dog mom
This is a home residence so I thought our dog would be in good hands. When we looked at the kennel it was smelly and dirty. There were 6 poodles in one pin and supposedly they were "show dogs" There was dog poop everywhere in the pin that held the 6 poodles. I was not impressed, but figured what the heck why not try it out. The owner was very accommodating and allowed us to leave our dog as long as needed and allowed us to return late. Our dog was not fed his evening meal, nor do I think he had much water because he drank 2 bowls once we got him home. She only charged $20 to leave him there 27 hours. I will not bring him back there, nor would I recommend others to Kennel their dogs with Conrecode Kennel.
