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.

I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away! One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day. Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions. She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away. Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip. The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas. Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.
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.
Liz did an amazing job babysitting our home and our pets (3 cats and a dog). Communication with Liz was easy and we felt at ease knowing that everything was being taken care of. Liz took our dog Summer for daily walks and kept her entertained. We got regular photos of our pets which were great. She even looked after and watered many of our outdoor and indoor plants! She was very tidy and our home was left spotless. If you are looking for a sitter we can't recommend Liz highly enough!
Cannot say enough good things about Charli and Jeff, a delightful couple who took great care of both dog and house. Loved their enthusiasm and attention to details. They are full time traveling pet/house sitters and it shows. They are organized, punctual, extremely tidy and completely self-sufficient. Charli, Jeff, it was a true pleasure to meet you both and you are welcome back any time your future travels bring you to the Charleston area. Warm hugs from myself and Forest.

Fetch has been a wonderful experience each time we have used them. The communication is great getting services set up and the pet sitters take loving care of our dogs - Max and Rachel are the best. We would recommend them highly to anyone looking for care for their pets.
I had to find someone last minute to care for my two cats as I was going out of town to see my mom. I booked Fetch! And Sandra and Ash came out to do a meet and greet the evening before I left. They were very thorough and spent about 45 minutes to get to know my babies, their routine and anything extra I would like done while I was out. I’m a crazy cat mom, what can I say 😊 I have one very outgoing cat and one very shy, reserved cat. They were excellent with both. And my shy baby even started coming out more and more - trust, she doesn’t do that with everyone! I’m so, so, so thankful I found someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and good with cats. I 100% recommend them and will be using them again. Thank you both again so much!!
Wonderful, kind people. Sandra & Max came out to do a meet and greet with the kitties before the actual sitting. They were very thorough about making sure they had all the information they needed to take care of them. I was able to schedule the visit times based on the kitties’ existing feeding routine and each visit came with an update and photos! I didn’t have to worry about my boys at all, and it was great to get the pictures every day of them (or at least our friendly boy, the other one hides from visitors) and know that they were being well taken care of. If you’re worried about hiring someone you haven’t had petsit before, rest assured that they will take good care of your babies!
The Fetch team is such a pleasure to work with amd I would highly recommend their experienced and loving team to anyone. The petcare journals they provide after every visit are easy to read and very informative. If your on the fence about trying out Fetch give Sandra a call! 💛 …
This is the third time we’ve used FETCH! and every time they have outstanding service. Krista is an excellent dog watcher and she just loves the dogs with her whole heart! She even went above and beyond when she realized we didn’t have a second leash for our second dog so she brought one from home just to be able to give them a walk. That’s the kind of service you don’t get every day.
I recently had Sandra and her team care for my dog for 5 days and nights. I have never been so well take care of and well informed about all they did for my dog while I was away. They left my home perfect as well. I have hard a very hard time finding quality pet care until I was told about them. They more than met my expectations. You will not be disappointed!
I had booked with Fetch Pet Care of C'Ville and had my meet and greet today with Krista and Sandra, they went to leave and before Krista got into her vehicle she came back to my door claiming she'd lost some mary-jane related pens, and I offered to let her look for them, and then she began accusing me and my 10 year old of stealing them and requested we empty our pockets and threatened to call the cops. I ended up calling them myself and reporting HER. Absolutely not. I'm not about that life. I'm no thief. I don't know what type of employees they're hiring at Fetch, but clearly they need to do better background checks and not allow them to bring those types of items into clients homes. This caused me way too much unnecessary stress a WEEK before my vacation. Eff that. I don't do drama, I just wanted somebody to care for my animals. I'll take my chances with Rover instead. My best friend is a pet sitter of 30 years out at Lake Monticello and she would NEVER! Reply to your reply: My younger 2 kids were sitting on the sofa playing on their tablets, not in the way, and eventually went upstairs at some point bc when y'all left they were not down here. I did let her back in to look. I asked her what they looked like, and even helped her look on the floor which would be the only place something could've fallen out, she was only in 2 rooms in my home, she told me one was red, and one was white. It truly makes me wonder if MJ is the only thing she's on. She never mentioned any money to me at all. So IDK where that came from at all, this is the first I'm hearing about that. K was acting like she was jonesing and had the shakes when she told me her vape and MJ pen supposedly went "missing" and was saying "If your dogs eat it or kids get it they'll get sick." 🙄And yes, she did in fact threaten me with the police, she said I have a medical card, I'm supposed to have them and I'll have to call the cops. I said don't worry about it, I'll call the cops myself. Since then, I've cleaned my entire home top to bottom and have yet to find anything remotely similar to the images on Google of vape pens, because I didn't even know what they looked like. So clearly she was just outright lying about losing any items. She also never mentioned any money to me, this is the first I'm hearing about it. And she did have me and my oldest BOTH empty our pockets. She had me go first and said check your pockets, all I had was a BIC lighter. Then she looked at my oldest - who had her pet rock in her pocket, and said "What about YOU? I see something in your pocket." And my oldest pulled out said rock. My 10 year old is now traumatized and terrified to even go on vacation bc of this incident. I'm glad K showed her true colors before we left our animals alone with her for an entire week. Yikes on several effing bikes. My best friend who's a pet sitter of 30 years doesn't bring her personal belongings into clients homes. She only brings a pen and a clipboard. Definitely not toxic substances.
Sandra went above and beyond for us. We were on vacation in VA when my husband had a very serious accident while hiking. He was airlifted to a hospital that about an 1.5 hrs from where we were staying. I was so worried about what to do with our 2 dogs and needing to find them care of them while not knowing the status of my husband's injuries which were significant. Sandra came to the hospital parking garage, picked them up and took great care of them. She made arrangements so I could go visit them even when she wasn't home. It was a breath of fresh air to see my pups and know the level of care they were getting while my husband had emergency surgery, while we didn't know what the outcome would be or how long we would need care. I cannot thank her enough. If you are in or near this area and need pet care, I highly recommend you use Fetch! Pet Care of Charlotte! My pups are now safely home with family and the burden she took off my shoulders allowed me to focus on my husband. Our doggos are our world and they were in great care!!!
This is an amazing pet care service! I met the sitter before she watched my cats. Then, the sitter sent great photos with each visit. Everything was attended to as I had requested. My cats loved the sitter!
Sandra and Kenzie could not have been more responsive, detail-oriented, communicative, and reassuring. We were in a time-zone six hours away and never once questioned whether our two dogs were in the best of hands at our home the entire time. Many daily updates and pictures were provided, and the house and the dogs were in perfect shape when we arrived back home. Would highly recommend Fetch! Charlottesville for anyone with overnight pet care needs.
The entire boarding process from reservations to pick up was perfect. Leaving our pets (cat and dog) with them gives us a peace of mind when traveling. Also loved being able to see Dexter in his doggie day camp via their online cameras.
I was soo scared of leaving my pup during travel so I swung in to check them out. Everyone is SO nice and you can tell dog lovers. I know my pup will love it. There was a Manager with red hair. She sold me just by being her...
I have used Pet Paradise quite a few times before. Every time my dogs come back with a cold, which I kind of just conceded to because they are around a bunch of new dogs and their germs. It's kinda like kids when they start daycare. But I recently boarded my 2 dogs over the weekend (November 22nd- November 24th). I picked both dogs up on the 24th so they were there a total of 48 hours. My bigger dog's paws, especially on her left side are irritated and the front paw has a pad that is visibly scraped with a raw spot. When we got home she was shifting her weight repeatedly on all her paws and was clearly uncomfortable which is how I found the irritations on her paws. I was not notified of any odd situations during their stay so it leaves me concerned, confused and frustrated. Along with this issue, she woke up twice in the middle of the night (3am and 4am). The first time she went to vomit but only a small brown spot came out. The second time she woke up, she vomited two bundles of leaves. These 2 bundles had the circumference of a half dollar coin and were about 2- 3 inches in length, EACH. Hopefully she has cleared them but she is lower energy than normal and clearly uncomfortable walking on her irritated pads. These significant issues are so concerning because either she spent those 48 hours with little to no actual supervision and real attention or the staff chose not to be transparent about her stay. To be able to scrap her pad raw and eat enough leaves to create these indigestible obstructions is outrageous honestly. The other option that these things were actually noticed and the team chose not to tell me is equally as frustrating and outrageous. Either way this is not safe or good business. I certainly understand the level of supervision cannot be like my home but this seems a bit excessive as it was really only a couple of days in their care. Paying over $200 for my dogs to not be a bare minimum, safe is incredibly unacceptable. I filled out the after stay survey and left these comments as well as emailed the business email with the concerns and pictures attached. I have not received a response and will certainly update this post if there is a response.
I became very ill and was unable to pick up my dogs as expected. I was able to extend their stay, last minute, for 8 more days. This allowed me the time I needed to recover from a miserable illness. I did not have to worry about my beloved boys, Max and Monty. I knew they were safe and well cared for. The peace of mind this gave me was absolutely priceless. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
My dog did daycare for two days this week. Place seems understaffed on the front desk. I wait 30 minutes to pay and get my dog from the back. I also qualify for a veterans discount. When I showed the clerk my Va driver's license which has the veterans indicator on it she still gave me a hard time. Unbelievably rude and inconsiderate. Will not bring my dog back to this location.
My girl loves this place they treat her great you can tell she really loves daycare . The plus she comes home tired being a high energy dog! Boarding went amazing knowing she came home happy clean and well taken care of!
The $20 coupon per dog that was in my confirmation email and text was ‘lost’ and the staff had no record of it. I measured out exactly how much food the dogs would when I dropped them off. After I picked up the dogs they told me I left the scoop and each dog had one more meal left in the bag. When I came to pick up the scoop they had thrown out the full serving of food that they said each of the dogs had over the phone. This is an awful establishment, please take your pets somewhere else or train your staff to feed the dogs what they were provided and not lie to customers.
I have brought my dog Trunks to doggy day camp at pet paradise twice now and so far have been very happy! His first day he was very nervous and the lady that checked us in was very friendly and understanding. She came up to Trunks to meet him and say hi and loved on him. She seemed very patient. I love the fact that they do have cameras and you can peek in and see how things are going. Honestly, I was nervous on how Trunks would do his first day, so I did peek in a few times (ok, maybe a lot). I was so so happy to see he was having a blast! He was making so many friends and the staff were so good with the dogs. They truly seemed to treat them as their own. He came home wiped out which was nice! I brought him back for a 2nd day and he had so much fun he crashed the whole way home. Long story short, he will be going back very soon and will continue to do so as often as I can bring him. Thank you guys for taking such good care of my baby while in your care! - Christine and Trunks
I was very pleased with the place/staff on the first day. They were very friendly, helpful and patient. I'm giving our first day (the free "meet the fam" day) 5 stars because I was extremely pleased with the process. I have tried another local doggy daycare place and left there feeling extremely frustrated. However, I felt confident in Pet Paradise and their 4 hour assessment process. I felt as though they listened to my concerns and were available for questions. I also enjoyed the report card at the end of our day, and the constant cameras/live footage. Another thing I appreciate about Pet Paradise is it's budget friendly AND they don't charge late pick up fees for daycare, and have the option for your dog to stay there 10+ hours a day during the week. I definitely recommend Pet Paradise to anyone looking for a doggy daycare. My dog Mango and I will definitely be back!
Dropped both my dogs off for boarding on Thursday. When I picked them up on Sunday my younger pup (1 year old GSD mix) was very calm and not quite her exuberant self. I thought it was from being tired. However when I got home I noticed her licking at her paws. Upon checking them I noticed major damage to all four of her paw pads. Called the facility and no one had any answers for me. Completely unacceptable for any boarding facility to fail to realize a dog in their care is limping and sore on their feet. Will never board my pets here again.
We take our dog, Bessie, here a couple of days a week, and she LOVES it! We enjoy watching her on the webcam, and the staff is so patient and gentle with her. It's obvious they all have a love for dogs, and I have and will continue to refer people to them!
I have to change my original post of what a great place this is. For the past 2 out of 3 times (both on the weekend) I've boarded my dog, pick up was awful. I always send extra medication for her and during the weekends she stayed, the extra medication was not returned. The 1st time it happened the final explanation was that it was given to another dog who takes the same medication. Having it happen a 2nd time is just too much! It makes me wonder if the other dog was given all of my dog's medication I'd sent. The Friday afternoon and weekend staff is so disorganized and undertrained as to protocol for giving meds. My dog loves going to dogtopia and I will probably still take her for the day and possibly to board if it's during the week, but do not trust that on weekends she will be properly cared for. It's a shame that such a wonderful resource has gone so downhill.
Perfect doggie daycare the location is about 7 minutes away from my place of work. The hours of drop-off and pickup work great for me.
I am so happy to have found Dogtopia! It took my dog, Jane, a while to settle in and get comfortable but now she whines to go! She and I both love Dogtopia, not just for day care but for boarding as well. Every staff member sincerely loves dogs and I feel good every time I leave her in their loving care - and so does she!
Was informed before the meet and greet that they have a no exceptions policy that dogs must be neutered by the age of 7 months, but 2 vets and a quick Google search show the absolute conclusion that is better,at least for larger breed dogs like my lab, to wait until they're at least a year. Can you imagine a daycare requiring you to vaccinate your children before theyre ready to attend? Response to response: really, no consensus? study for a study? Google "when to neuter my lab" and see if you cant gather a quick consensus. I cannot find a single study remotely suggesting to neuter before 9 months, with 12 to 18 months seeming to be the most common recommendation, but everyone seems to be 100% agreed that doing it too early commonly leads to health issues including joint issues and cancers!
Makes getting to work so much easier when I know my pup is going to have a good day too. Front desk staff is great! Friendly and efficient. My pup is always so eager to see them.
Their website says "recommend" 3 days of daycare before dog boarding. "RECOMMEND". So I was surprised when I called and they said it's "required". My dog has done plenty of doggydaycares and boardings and have never had this much difficulty getting a business to take my money. How about updating your website? Thanks!
I use Dogtopia to allow my girl Reese to socialize and get a break from her job as a bike shop dog. She loves to go and be able to run around and play, I feel comfortable knowing there is always someone supervising and breaking up any possible aggressions. She is usually asleep by the time we pull out of the parking lot! Their hours are perfect for me since you can pick up until 7:30pm....I work till 7pm, otherwise there's nowhere else I could take her and she would miss out on so much FUN! I also love that I can log in and see what she's doing with their video camera access. We both LOVE Dogtopia!!
We had previously been using a different dog boarding place in Charlottesville, but we recently decided to reevaluate! Enter in Dogtopia - our pup LOVES it! He just spent his first weekend at Dogtopia and he’s been asleep ever since returning home. We love the webcam features, and we even opted to have his nails trimmed and that he get a quick back before check out. They had him squeaky clean when we came to pick him up! Overall - great price, great people, great services, 15/10! Thanks, Dogtopia!
Always a great experience! The Webcams provide great peace of mind. My dog is excited whenever we drop him off and tired when he comes home. The staff is friendly and they remember my dog each time we visit, even though he is an infrequent visitor.
We desperately needed a daycare that was accommodating to our once shy puppy, and ATP has made him the most confident boy by placing him in a room that suits his energy levels, size, and play style! Our dog is, respectfully, obsessed with us. And yet, as soon as we walk into ATP he is all wags for the workers and wants to sprint into the playroom immediately! We have absolutely loved this place for weekly play dates, and would recommend to anyone.
They are very accommodating, and work with your dog’s personality and any needs. We bring our Toller Mickey here all the time and really appreciate having a locally owned and operated doggy daycare in town. She has boarded once and did great as well!
My dog loves going to day care here! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are going. I originally started using this beautiful facility in case we need to board while we're away. They require a thorough assessment on site, then day care before agreeing to board a dog, so they can gauge their temperament. The front desk staff are very welcoming and make each dog feel special when they come in. I highly recommend!
Never answer the phone when one calls, neither the voicemails! Have been trying to call for several days only to listen they cannot accept our pet because it's not neutered, when the main reason we went to this place it's because they accepted non-neutered dogs in the first place, and now they changed their rules to their own convenience. Not professional in many ways and disappointed for not keeping their word.
We took our puppy for training here and had such a good experience—both in classes and in a private 1:1 session—that we brought both of our dogs back for daycare. We have been so impressed with how loving, kind, and accepting the handlers and staff are of our two dogs, who have very different needs. The puppy had lots of experience at ATP already and was so excited to be back. Our nearly five year-old dog is deaf and also has anxiety, and while she struggled to get acclimated, the handlers went the extra mile to try and get her to warm up to them and she ended up having a wonderful time! It's not easy to find a place where our older dog feels safe and comfortable enough to play and engage with other pups. Thanks so much, ATP, for making daycare possible for our special needs dog!
We have had a wonderful experience with All Things Pawssible. They are always so friendly and caring towards the dogs and seem to know them all by name! They worked closely with our nervous rescue dog to get her acclimated into daycare. We really appreciate the extra attention that they gave her and the great communication they provided to update us on her progress in class! I definitely recommend their doggy daycare!
First doggy daycare experience for both my 10-month-old Pomeranian puppy and me. The staff are very attentive, the facility is clean and when I picked my dog up at the end of the afternoon, she was appropriately pooped out and happy. I will use them again!
I have been taking my pups to ATP for about five years and am extremely pleased with the care they receive. The staff treats my dogs like family (read: spoil them) and my pups love going! We have also taken classes several times over the years and have always found them a fun, great way to connect with my pups. Karen knows how to get the best out of you and your pup in a fun way! If you are looking for a place that understands your dogs are your family, creates an environment in which dogs flourish, and provides enough exercise to wear your pups out :), then ATP is for you!
I cannot describe how amazing this daycare is. They take the time to really know and understand the personality and quirks of every dog they take care of. They always have staff in the rooms with the dogs, and keep an eye out to make sure no dog is getting harassed. They also make sure all the dogs are not getting overheated, too cold, etc. For example I have a big old golden/black lab mix who loves to sit in the sun. We moved down from Maine this summer, and he was not dealing with the heat adjustment well. The staff at All Things Pawsible kept him safe by only letting him go outside for ~5 mins at a time when it was hot out, which is extra work for them, but they did it anyway. This is the only place I've left my dog where I have felt truly comfortable, aka not worried at all. I'd recommend contacting them for daycare, and they likely will have a waitlist, so call early. Tldr: amazing daycare & boarding, the only business I have ever completely trusted with my dog. Update as of 6/13/2022: Still an amazing daycare. They helped accommodate my elderly dog to go as long as he was able, and my younger dog still goes there. The staff here really care about the dogs, and I still would strongly recommend this daycare. It's still worth driving to the opposite side of town to be able to take my dogs here.
My 2 Australian Shepherds recently used the doggy daycare services at All Things Pawsible. Our experience was excellent. As a new client, I was able to fill out the registration questionnaire online and provide the proof of vaccination paperwork during check in. The dog temperament evaluation went smoothly and our dogs were assigned to a play group. The staff is excellent and caring. They provided positive feedback about our dogs play styles and how their day went. My dogs seemed happy and tired when we picked them up and they slept all the way home. I would not hesitate to use their doggy daycare again.
Alexandra is a very caring and thoughtful person. I’m always a bit nervous the first time someone new stays with our terrier, Rudy, but she put my worries to rest the very first day by sending lots of pictures and staying in touch. I’ve already scheduled her next stay with us!
We have 2 rottweilers who can be intimidating to anyone. Our male can be "selective" in who he likes. He LOVES Alex. She is very much a dog handler/lover. Alex allowed our dogs to sniff her before she reached towards them. This is so important for an aggressive breed. My husband is a worrier about our dogs, just like the first time we left our children with a baby sitter. Alex provides photos, communication via text or phone calls, and addresses any concerns pet owners may have. I 100% recommend Alex to care for your pets while you are unavailable. Just don't let her get too busy whereby she is not available to watch our animals!
Alex has been a great resource for dog care. I have left my dog in her care several times and I always feel good about dropping my dog off with her. She has an adorable dog who loves to play with my dog. Alex is great about getting the dogs out for walks and hikes in nature. She really loves animals and it shows. I highly recommend her services!
Alex is the best! Our two dogs love her. Overnights, vacations , we never have a care or concern with our pups or the house. We recommend Alex with Skyline Petcare 100 percent!
Alex has taken care of our three cats twice now. We used to really stress about traveling and ensuring our cats were well taken care of, but Alex has helped us feel so much better about traveling. She's professional and responsive and sends us daily updates. Our cats have lots of needs (different feeding schedules, meds, lots of petting), and Alex has managed all of that seamlessly. They can also be wary of new people, so we were shocked to see how quickly our scarediest cat warmed right up to Alex. It feels great to leave them with her! I highly recommend Alex.
Alex is the best dog walker/pet sitter we have worked with... period. She truly cares for the well being of our two dogs and does everything possible to accommodate them. When we leave town for a long duration we have no worries that they will be very well taken care of. She regularly updates us regarding how they are doing. Every time our dogs go on a walk with her they are totally spent. We could not have asked for anything better.
We're overjoyed to have found Alex to look after our pets. Freedom to take off and go on overnights anywhere was seriously limited with our 3 year old Sheltie and two 4 year old Ragdoll cats. All three must have love, play, and care for most of the day to be happy. The idea of leaving them alone or in a kennel was not an option for us; our worry and guilt would have been overwhelming. Then we met Alex! She happily accommodated my need for her to get to know the 3 over time before we left for our 2 week vacation. She completely accepts my love for my pets and never makes me feel like i am a bit over the top! :) and she loves animals. All three were happy as could be when we returned after 2 weeks, the house was tidy and fur free and the boxes/potty areas all were clean and wonderfully kept up with. She had even brought a dog toy present for our Sheltie! It was over Christmas. Since that trip whenever I say "ALEX is coming" our dog runs to the front door wagging his tail and waiting impatiently. For a Sheltie this is a biggie! I've had her take care of them again on a weekend, and I even ask her to come by and play with our dog once in a while just to keep up their relationship. We like her that much! :) We can plan college visits to see our daughter and mini-holidays now whenever we want, all because we found Alex! A huge THANK YOU, Alex. We all appreciate you.
Alex is not only a impeccable person but when it comes to the well being of your Animals there is no one like her. I have top show horses that need Supreme care 247 and Alex went above and beyond what I had asked or needed her to do. I moved from C-Vill to buy a farm in TN. and I wish that Alex would move here to be apart of our Team, she would have a job for life. Skyline Pet Care is the #1 Service you need for your Animals!!!!
I always hate leaving my two cats, but knowing Alex is caring for them is a huge relief. She spends some time with them and I really appreciate the pictures she sends. It's so nice to receive visual reassurance each day that my cats are happy and being well cared for.
Alex goes above and beyond taking care of our two GSPs. Our babies are full of energy and she makes sure they get enough attention and activity!
Pet Nanny Services is amazing! Stacey has cared for my cat, Kitteran, multiple times over the past few months. Kitteran receives an inhaler twice a day, and she's done a fantastic job earning his trust and managing his medication schedule. I would highly recommend Pet Nanny Services!
Tracie is an experienced pet sitter. You can tell she really knows about animals. Both of my cats are older, and one has chronic kidney disease. I’m very nervous to leave them, even just for a few days. I felt like Tracie would be able to tell if something was wrong with them, which is not easy with cats. Getting daily updates was great, also. It allowed me to enjoy visiting with family and friends without being so preoccupied about whether my cats were really OK at home. Peace of mind is worth so much. Also, her prices are very reasonable. And she does more than just pet sitting or dog walking. The first job Tracie did for me was driving my cats to the vet when I was too sick to leave my home. If you ever find yourself in a bind like that, finding a solution that doesn’t break the bank is such a relief.
Tracie and Pet Nanny Services are excellent. She is knowledgeable and caring for our sweet, shy cat, Sabrina. We are grateful Tracie has cared for Sabrina several times and now our cat is affectionate with Tracie—a true accomplishment. Tracie also sends us much appreciated progress reports and sometimes photos while we are away. This really helps with missing our beloved pet. Tracie does much more to help like getting our mail and also refrigerated an unexpected medicine delivery arriving in the mail. Tracie provides services for dogs and cats. Tracie and Pet Nanny Services go above and beyond other pet sitters!
Tracie has helped us with our cats several times in the past. She and her assistants have been wonderful. They have a true love for animals, are very responsible and go beyond and above. We really appreciate that they take care of little details around our house while we are away and we feel that our cats are cared for very well. Tracie and her team are great and easy to work with and we are looking forward to hiring them again.
Tracie is a very kind and caring person, just the right person you want for your pet! She is dependable and flexible. Her prices are very reasonable. She is highly recommended from Chloe and Stella, 14 year old Minnie Wiener dogs. 🐶 …
I have had the good fortune to be a client of Tracie and Pet Nanny Services for several years. Tracie is unquestionably reliable, responsible, professional, and a wonderful resource for dog behavior and health issues. My dog loves her regular walks and time with Tracie. I highly recommend Pet Nanny Services!
I have been using Pet Nanny Services for the last year and a-half to care for my two Maltese siblings. I have been incredibly happy with their services, but most importantly my canine babies have been too. Tracie and her staff treat them with gentle love and caring, as if they were their own. My Maltese twins are very happy when I come home as a result. The PNS staff members feel like family to us. They have never missed an appointment, and have always been available on short notice. I recommend Pet Nanny Services to anyone in need of care for their beloved pets. JG of Charlottesville, VA.
Tracy Galligher with Pet Nanny Services is amazing. Last year when I had an emergency hospitalization, I called Tracy and she immediately went to check on my two pets. My family lives out of town and if it were not for Tracy and Pet Nanny Services my animals would have been in trouble. Since then she has been just as reliable. Thank you Pet Nanny Services.
My husband and I have used Pet Nanny Services since 2008, and Tracie now pet-sits for our third and fourth dogs! There is no one we trust more with our dogs. Tracie is so dependable, and if needed, she has taken them to the vet when we've been traveling. One time when one of our dogs was wounded by a larger dog, she insisted we take our planned trip, and she took the dog to the vet at least three times during our absence. She is so loving and sincerely cares for the dogs, spending time with them on each visit so they don't get lonely. We and our dogs simply love her and know she'll always be there for us. That's priceless. Beth and Jack Schmid
I've used Pet Nanny Services for years. Tracie and her pet sitters are professional and reliable. Pet Nanny works with your schedule and you can use the services either on a regular or intermittent basis. Tracie's easy to reach by e-mail or phone. I never have to worry about my Boxer when I entrust him to Tracie's care. She's also offered to do other tasks, like bringing in the mail taking in packages and watering plants. Her business is 5 star!
I am very pleased with the salon services. The staff was very pleasant and treated my pup well. He looks really nice, and the services were fairly priced. He will definitely go back.
Beau needed a bath, body trimmed, and nails trimmed. Amy did it all for a fair price. When I tried to do all that during Covid, I learned how skilled you need to be to accomplish that without nicking your dog. Well done.
I called this place last minute as I was heading home, with the intention of just getting information, and Amber was super awesome, squeezing me in to get my dog Scooter's nails trimmed, telling me she can get him trimmed if I can get there before closing. Well, I cut it extremely close, but she was willing to stay a little late just to take care of us. Super awesome place, super awesome staff!
I know my nervous rescue pup is always in understanding and gentle hands when she visits Amy for a bath and haircut! She looks wonderful (and smells like heaven!) every time, and I feel safe and confident leaving her in their care. She never has to sit in a kennel waiting for too long (which I greatly appreciate!) so we give them two paws up!
Not very dog friendly, they want you in and out and they like small dogs because they’re easier to handle charged me 45 for nails and a bath and I come back with a wet dog and half the nails done ** after the owner lying response: wow those are sad excuses, I have a normal groomer that usually does him and nothing like this has ever happened came here on a whim, I guess your groomers are not experienced, and the call was to see what was happening no rush was asked, did not even do his nails either with cracks all over. And safety you locked him in a cage cold and wet and he came out happy after I rescued him from this hellish place. And your employees were talking trash about my dog and me in front of my face. Responding again: yeah went to a couple of petsmart before finding a private groomer there not amazing either but yours is even worse also going through my other reviews is sad and creepy ANYONE LOOKING AT THIS PLACE BE WARY
Today was my first grooming experience for my two Havanese puppies. They look fantastic! My experience was top notch and the staff was courteous and professional. Both puppies look adorable and I am highly recommending this salon. Thank you Pet Motel and Salon for such a great job!
They do a great job grooming both my puppy and my senior dog. The staff there treats them like their own fur babies.
I've been taking Max to this cutlery for 10 years maybe more but they're pretty good at what they do the only thing I don't like is the price but the economy changes so they have to get paid also but I've always got treated with respect
My dog went here perfectly fine and picked her up limping on three legs no explanation just she was sensitive to touch which she wasn’t and hasn’t been refusing to pay vet bill will never go again
I live in Harrisonburg and have had struggles finding a groomer who can take care of my standard poodle and I will say the hour drive is worth it! Stone Cold comes out looking perfect and so happy every time and I can’t say how much it makes me happy!
Excellent service!! They did a great job trimming my dogs nails and so responsive! Very affordable
Our dog LOVES coming here! She runs to the staff with wagging tail at drop off. Have been using them for 10 years, great, long term team that cares about your dogs and give GREAT customer service. Have a new dog and love that we can kennel them together in an extra large suite with deluxe bedding and daily activities. Always end our stays with a bath and nail clipping.
The staff are really friendly here. When dropping my dog off, they said I could call or email to check on her if I wanted to. Check-in and Check-out was quick and easy. And most importantly, they took really good care of my dog while I was out of town. I will definitely board my dog here again the next time we travel.
Billy had a great time for his visit. Other dog owners will understand. When we get there, he is happy to jump out of the car and get inside. That is his "talking" about how much he enjoys it. And he is exhausted when he comes home. He has a great time. Billy recommends Wakefield.
My dogs have been boarding at Wakefield for years. They love it, always happy when we pull up. The managers Jennifer and Charlie are the best. I never worry when my dogs are in their care. Groomer Amy is a saint and my dogs love her! They used to be petrified of groomers until they met Amy. I have seen a few reviews posting ugly and fictitious statements about Wakefield and I can assure you as a customer for over 8 years the owners and employees love your dogs while they are there and treat them as their own. All other negative comments that have been posted are untrue and just an attempt to slander a reputable company for their own gain. The owner Andy is always accommodating and kind. I highly recommend Wakefield Kennel to board your dog and for all grooming needs! Absolutely love this place. I feel blessed to have a dependable, loyal, compassionate kennel and groomers for my dogs! Thank you Wakefield!!!
We board our dogs with Wakefield any time we go out of town. They really care about the dogs and want them to enjoy their stay! One of our dogs gets a little anxious, so the staff let him sit at the front desk with them to ease his anxiety. We use their grooming services as well and they do a fantastic job!
Wakefield always does an exceptional job. Our dog is like a child to us. So we need to know she is taken care of. The staff is incredibly friendly and very flexible with plans. Keep up the great job!!
Staff and facilities are excellent, and you can tell they really care about the dogs. We had a family emergency, and Wakefield was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request.
The staff at Wakefield are all exceptional. They always have given our dogs the best of care and their facility is so clean and welcoming. Our very old dog enjoyed the senior care and our new boy loves the walks and hikes and positive attention from the staff! We highly recommend Wakefield Kennel!
I boarded my dog here a few months ago while I had to travel to Utah for a week. I had never boarded my dog before and was nervous since he has some social anxiety and separation issues. When I got my dog back it was incredible. He was so happy and just seemed like he had a great time here. I know the next time I board my dog here he will be given so much love and attention he might not want me to come back!
I was not impressed. There is no signage at the property at all to assist with finding the place. The outside is not well kept at all. I thought the place was abandoned when I went by it the first time because of the state it was in and the fact there is no signage. This is usually an indication of what the inside looks like. It smelled like dogs and was filthy. My dog smelled terrible when I picked her up. Her eyes were crusty from running, no doubt due to the filth. She was starving when I got her home and at least half of the food I took was still in the bag when there should’ve been only two servings left. I will not board there again.
I found Canine Concierge and Mary online. We are new to the area and were in a bind to find a place for our dog to stay while we were out of the country. Mary was helpful and flexible and most importantly, trustworthy. Our dog had never been boarded before and she absolutely set our mind at ease from the moment we met her. We will definitely use Canine Concierge’s services again!
I've been boarding my two dogs here for years. The proprietor is flexible, super easy to work with, has insights and skills that I trust. She also has been very helpful adapting to the needs of my aging dog. Highly recommended.
Mary and her staff treat the dogs as if they were their own. My 10 y o.golden loves her stays at the farm. I would not trust her to judt anyone. I feel confident she is in capable hands with Mary Marks. The room is well suited to Doggy comfort and she is allowed on the couch...something not permitted at home.
Mary does a great job with the dogs. We have used her many times and my dog jumps out ready to go with her without hesitation. Half the time he didn't even allow me to say bye, he's so be to be there.
Mary is great! My dogs love her! Highly recommend!
Trustworthy. Great communicator. Easy to work with.
I could not have been happier with The Cottages. My 7 month old bundle of energy puppy did her first overnight last week and by all indications she would have stayed as long as we let her. She was lovingly cared for, had her own suite and enough playful interaction to leave her happily exhausted. We will definitely and confidently leave her at The Cottages in the future.
We have two crazy Catahoula’s, one is fear aggressive and the other is just reactive and in need of a job. The Cottages came highly recommended by our trainer and our Animal Behaviorist! Talya, Sarah, Samantha and the rest of the gang did a tremendous job of taking care of our babies. Hoss, our fear aggressive boy, is extremely anxious and fearful. He is not an enthusiastic eater and is not treat motivated. The Cottages went out of their way to make him feel comfortable and were knowledgeable on how to handle a pup with his issues. This was key to keeping him on his meds and eating. Our girl Maybel was much quicker to adapt and chill. She enjoyed all the special attention and treats and she even seemed a little grumpy with us for picking her up. So if you have a pup with behavior issues like ours, and even if you don’t, The Cottages is the perfect place to work with. They really go the extra mile to make your dog’s stay a success.
I never write reviews but I feel like our experience was too good not to! We vacationed for 10 days and it was the longest we have been from our dogs. Our dogs are quite literally our children and our trust in others when it comes to them is very little. Every time we do vacation for a day or two we always worry and end up not even enjoying our time because we just want to be home with our babies. That was not the case with the Cottages! I have never felt so at peace and actually enjoyed our time away! Sarah made me feel so heard and not silly at all when I first got there. I feel like when I explain our babes routine people don’t take the time to listen or ask questions and Sarah did! She made me feel like she cared about our dogs and their usual day to day. The best and hardest part was all the sweet pictures we got! It made me miss my babes so much but they looked like they were having the time of their lives. I could not have asked for a better experience. With four dogs that are attached at the hip, it is so reassuring that they got to stay together! They would have had so much anxiety if they were split. The cottages will be the only place we keep our babies when needed! I really cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her staff. I recommend the cottages for anyone’s fur babies! Bella, Kobe, Piper, and Finneas can’t wait to go back!
I cannot say enough great things about The Cottages. The idea of my pup being in his own air conditioned cottage is amazing. He has a deck and a gravel yard to go potty. He can go in and out as he wants. The grounds are PERFECTLY maintained. I signed Jrue up for agility and basic training during the day so he has something to do while he's there. I get pics and videos and a report card everyday. My puppy means the world to me and this is the ONLY place I will be boarding him from now on. Also 5% of proceeds go toward funding a shelter the owner is starting. So impressed by everything and everyone here!
I’m pretty sure our dog barely missed us during his stay at the Cottages! We looked forward to receiving the daily photos of him and it always looked like he was having a great time - having pool days and running in the open fenced in yard. We opted for him to go on a nature walk one day and from the photos it looked like it was along a stream of water that he was able to play in. The Cottages were also easy to communicate with and had a nice questionnaire to get to know our dog prior to his stay.
Our experience with The Cottages was wonderful. The cottages are very clean, temperature controlled and have doors for easy access to a private, enclosed outdoor area any time the dog so chooses. This year our dog developed a medical condition and required medication several times during the day, and extra special care to keep her comfortable. We were conflicted about boarding her knowing she was in a fragile state, but Sarah and her staff went above and beyond to make sure she was well cared for. We got photos and daily updates which not only put us completely at ease but always brightened our day. We highly recommend The Cottages!
This was our first time ever leaving our babies anywhere. The cottages provided such excellent care and updates that we were able to enjoy our weekend getaway without worries about our boys. The flexible hours for pick up and drop off were great for us and our schedule. The price was more than reasonable for the both of them. They had a luxury getaway as we enjoyed ours thanks to The Cottages. Our boys will not stay with anyone else as long as this place is open and has space! Thank you so much and thank you for putting smiles on our boys faces while we were away!
My pup is very cautious around people and the cottages was a perfect location for him to stay. Sarah and the rest of the people respected his limits while giving him wonderful treats and attention. They are also closely networked with RVA's best behaviourists and trainers. I hate being apart from Magnum at any time, but if he is at the cottages I know he's in amazing hands.
I am very particular of whom I leave my sweet boy with - The Cottages are the very best! They provide "daycare" (which I also utilize) as well as boarding and other services. I would recommend them to EVERYONE! Your pet will be cared for, loved, and given stellar attention.
We absolutely love The Cottages. Sarah and her staff are so kind and helpful. We boarded 2 years ago; having never boarded our dog, Ros. We got happy pictures of her every day, clearly enjoying her stay. We are thrilled to have booked again for this fall!
Just had my goldendoodle's ears groomed due to matting and her nails trimmed. Amazing, fast service! The owner Amy explained how to prevent further matting issues and took the time to show me what tools I need to buy for future use. It was very clean and everyone was super friendly. Highly recommend this groomer/kennel.
I never thought I would use a dog daycare. This experience has been so good for our Oreo. He loves Amy and her team of caregivers. He is becoming much calmer at home and doesn't jump on people like he use to. I highly recommend this dog daycare.
I boarded my energetic 1-year-old puppy at Canine Country for a week, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Amy and her team provided exceptional care and service throughout. They kept me updated with regular photos and updates, which I greatly appreciated. The staff is always welcoming, and my little guy loves spending time there for daycare as well. Highly recommend Canine Country for anyone looking for quality pet care!
I am so glad we stumbled upon Canine Country when searching for boarding options for our dog. He *loves* it there - so much so he starts getting excited when we turn on the road to "camp". Having the option to get him groomed by people he already knows and trusts is also a huge plus, and Amy takes great care in ensuring that she and the team know your grooming preferences. The love that Amy and her staff have for each pup that comes through the door is so obvious and I can't imagine taking him anywhere else. We're lucky enough to live just 15 minutes from Canine Country, but we'd bring our dog there no matter the distance - it's simply the best.
Absolutely fantastic kennel. The whole set up is great. The turnout is large with agility obstacles and a shaded area for the hot days. The sleeping quarters are large and warm. All the dogs seem very happy. Amy and her team are completely delightful and very knowledgeable. It’s very clear that everybody who works there loves their work and adores the animals. They take wonderful care of them. Our extremely neurotic Viszla loves it so much there, but he starts whining and barking with excitement when we turn onto the driveway! Which is really saying something… We are so happy that we found Canine Country. It’s very difficult to leave your beloved pets in the care of someone else, but I am completely at ease, knowing Bonzo is with the team there.
I have been coming here with my dogs since January 2009; Amy and her staff are amazing. We use their boarding and grooming services several times a year. It is the ONLY place I will take my fur babies. Starting this year I am also going to start using their daycare services. My babies love it here, and that's important to me.
Skipper's 6 to 8 week grooming. Always perfect. She looks great 👍. Highly recommend. Thankfully, Skipper is an 8 pound Yorkie; I hope she was well-behaved for Amy. 🤔 We've been coming here for about 2 - 2.5 years and Amy has always taken great care of Skipper. …
Our dogs love Amy and crew at Canine Country!
A year ago we adopted our Bailey. He has been going to Canine Clippers for Doggy Day Care and for grooming since that time. Bailey loves it. He adores Amy and Chelsea. He knows which day he goes to Day Care and wakes up excited. We trust Amy and Chelsea completely with Bailey. They have done wonders with a precious little dog that we love. Canine Clippers is a wonderful place for dogs!!!
I have used The Canine Clipper for both pet grooming and boarding many times. Amy is great when ever you drop the pets off she gets right down on the floor and makes the pets feel welcome. Boarding - Amy and her family are great with pets. When the pets stay with her they are part of the family instead of being locked up in cages and alone. She has plenty of area for the dogs to run around and play in which is great. Grooming - We have gone to the Pet Smarts, but a lot of times those people just don't care about the pets and are mean. Amy takes very good care of them, listens to you on how you want them to look, and they come out looking great and happy. I would never hesitate to recommend The Canine Clipper to anyone.
