Dog Sitters in Washington, NC

This was my first time ever bringing our dogs to a doggy daycare they took them in last minute and loved on them like they are their own I would definitely use this day care again! And I will 1000% recommend them to anyone who needs someone to watch their babies!!.

My pup absolutely LOVES twinkle pawz. The owner, Lindsay is soo nice and makes sure my pup is in the best care! Stella comes home tired everyday and is a frequent visitor 🙂 My experience here has been awesome and my pup runs to the fence ready to play w all her friends!

Our Yorkie and Jack Russell/Beagle mix spent the ECU Homecoming weekend at Twinkle Pawz. We were on the waitlist but due to a cancellation were able to make reservations for our little pups. Check in was super easy and the staff was very friendly. The location is very convenient to Hwy 264 and Whispering Oaks RV Resort where we stayed overnight. Pick up was also very easy. We could tell our dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their stay. Thank you for taking excellent care of our doggies!

My dogs always hated boarding. 2 are very nervous around new people and we've been told they take days to warm up to people. Not at Twinkle Pawz, my dogs open up much quicker and seem so much happier here. Plus, they sleep so well when they get home. This place is the best!

My dogs, Nara and Kuma, absolutely love it here! The dogs are out all day and the last boarding place I went to you had to pay extra for them to be out with daycare dogs for boarding. My girls always come back tired and happy and I love seeing their pictures on Facebook!

Twinkle Pawz is the best, I had a last minute planned trip and twinkle paws was able to take my German Shepherd in. The ladies there is very friendly. This was my first time leaving my pup for a long period of time and the owner assured me she would be fine. We kept in contact with updates and sent me pictures of my pup. Twinkle Pawz had wore my pup out I get her home and she goes straight to her room and goes to sleep. I can’t thank twinkle Pawz enough thank you ladies again will be visiting again.

I highly recommend Twinkle Pawz to anyone for boarding or daycare! My dog is very high energy and anxious but I know she is always well cared for and happy at daycare or when boarded. She walks herself to the gate wiggling every drop off and comes back ready to sleep for hours at pickup! This past weekend I needed to board her and she had a very upset stomach at the start but I got call updates, pictures and quick responses the entire time to know she was okay and to keep me informed! All of the staff is incredibly friendly and you can tell they really care & get to know every dog, I honestly wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving Willow elsewhere.We love them!!!

Absolutely love and trust taking my bby Premo to Twinkle Paws!! Wouldn’t leave him with anyone else. 10/10 recommend ✨ He always gets so excited to go to daycare and comes home ready for naps 🤩

I was not looking forward to leaving our puppy when we went on vacation the first time. I was quickly relieved by all the pictures posted and quick responses via messenger. Now, when we pull in the drive, he starts howling because he is so excited to play with his friends! So thankful we found Twinkle Pawz Pet Resort!

My pup, willow, loves going to daycare! The girls working there are amazing, especially Jenna! She sends me pictures and updates so I know Willow is okay and having a great time. Can’t wait for Willow to visit again soon! 💕🐾

I couldn’t ask for a better place to take care of my girl for me. She attends day care regularly, she’s been boarded a couple times, and she’s been groomed. She absolutely loves it up there. They take such good care of her. I can’t thank the employees enough for all their hard work and dedication for our babies.

Wonderful staff and my Dog loves going. I’ve boarded and had her attend daycare, to which she comes home happy and ready for some good naps after an engaging day. The pricing is perfectly suited for the area to deliver the quality and experience you’d want for your pet. Good service with small town heart. Nice work!

Excellent care for your fur babies by loving staff. My Pitti Apollo has been going to daycare and boarding since they opened and it has been the best experience for both of us! Thank you for all you do for the fur babies and the community at large ❤️

The people here love all the animals that come to them. I don’t trust just anyone with my babies. They are fair priced and do the absolute best for all animals and families that they serve. They are always so creative with the daycare. An example is they do back to school pictures, birthday pictures, first day of school pictures. They will treat you like family. If any post a negative review they have a personal vendetta and I suggest you check them out yourself.

My dog loves this place. They take great care of your animal. I would recommended this to anyone who has a shy dog like mines. Biggie is shy and suffers from separation anxiety but he goes their and interacts with the other small dogs. He loves the staff as well.

Elsa, our 7 month old German Shepherd pup, has been in Doggy Daycare several times and she loves it there! We took her there for socialization more than anything and the ladies took her right in and she has improved so much! She would bark at people and other dogs and would not stop. Since coming here she has gotten so much better. We live in the country with no neighbors and she just needed to be around new people and dogs so that she wouldn’t bark so much and this has helped her so much! I can’t say enough good things about Bed and Biscuits it’s very clean and the staff is so friendly. We had Elsa’s nails clipped also and the lady who did it said that Elsa just laid across her lap and had no problems with it. When we tried to trim her nails she just was not having it! I’m so glad we found a wonderful place here!

This place is the best! I was in town for only two weeks but Melinda and everyone at Bed and Biscuits treated my pup like a regular! They took great care of my Whit! Some days I think Whit would have rather stayed at daycare than come home with me! The staff always had a smile on their face and if we are ever back in the area, we will be taking our dogs to Bed and Biscuits! Customers for life!

I’m from Virginia and had visited Every groomer in my area to give my fur baby a haircut and nails clipped. However everyone was scared of her even tho she is a loving shepherd mix. When I visited bed and biscuits not only did she get a haircut but even got her nails painted. This was after she played with the staff and the other dogs there. She didn’t even wanna leave. It’s well worth the drive for my baby girl to be pampered and treated like family.

Extremely friendly staff! Our dog was nervous since it was his first time and scent marked on the rug outside and on a wall inside, but they just laughed and cleaned it up, they weren't upset. Our dog had fun and even made a little paw print painting while he was there! Would highly recommend!

If I could give a 10 Star I would!! I take my dog Millie to daycare here 2-3 times most weeks and have been since she was old enough to go. She loves Bed and Biscuits and the staff and is excited to go every time. I know that she is safe, well taken care of and loved while she is there. She also gets groomed there and smells so good every time I pick her up. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating. So thankful we have such a great business here in Ahoskie.

This place is amazing! I brought my dog Chuck after a bad experience at another daycare. They were very welcoming and answered all my questions. Someone is always happy to greet Chuck when he comes in, I get updates and pictures and I no longer worry about my dog during the day. He is worn out but a very happy puppy at the end of the day. They really care about the dogs and ensure they are safe and happy. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for your fur baby to be taken care of while you vacation, look no further! My sweet fur baby stayed with them while I went on vacation and when I picked her up she didn’t want to leave! She played the whole time. She was well taken care of. Also if you work long hours and want to drop them off for some play time while you work this place is also a good fit. She also has done some cute holiday artwork for me to display proudly. She has picked up some good habits from them. I will continue to take my baby there and look forward to enrolling her in some much needed basic training.

My fur baby attends daycare and participates with their training program, and we absolutely love it. The staff are beyond friendly and helpful. They greet us like we are part of the family. I’ve been looking for a place that caters to loving our pets like we do for a very long time. I would definitely recommend Riverside Bark Park as a safe , and loving place for your pet.

This place is amazing! We’ve boarded 2 different dogs there at least so different times. The most recent was in July. Our girl had such a great time and, no kidding, slept for 2 days straight from doing nothing but playing for 10 days lol. They were very sweet and sent emails to check in and let me know how she was doing. They also told me she was very sweet and to bring her back anytime! The last picture is when we got her home. 🧡

We have taken our puppy here for training sessions with Ashley. Can’t recommend her enough! She is great with the puppy and is also helping my 8 year old daughter learn how to do basic commands and agility exercises. We definitely look forward to our sessions.

Lengthy review, you've been warned :) I am a cat person, but my daughter convinced me to get a small dog for companionship. I did, and she is amazing. However, she is a super high energy little thing and I have to work full time (to support her in the manner to which she's become accustomed). When I tried leaving her home alone, she was destructive and harrassed my cat. I tried a doggie daycare and she still came home super high energy and unmanageable in the evening. Then a friend at work suggested River City Bark and Park. She had a medium sized puppy and similar issues. I gave it a try and I now don't know what I'd do without them! My cat also is very happy with the results! I've used all their services. The daycare is amazing. My dog comes home relaxed and ready to snuggle in the evening. She spends the day interacting with the staff and other similar size and temperament dogs. She loves going to "school" and when I pick her up in the evening I am frequently blessed with little stories about what she did that day in daycare and who she played with. I honestly believe the staff care about my dog and that she considers them family. I've also used their grooming services - when they were a full grooming salon and even when they had to cut back to baths and nail trims. Since there is a groomer right down the "strip mall" I can still arrange for her to get a full grooming during daycare hours. I've used their training services - both as a group and individual. When we did group puppy training, the trainers shed a lot of insight into specifically how to train my dog. For instance, she is not food motivated as much as she is praise motivated. This is important to know going into further training practice. Also, I used their individual training sessions to help with reinforcing some slips in her training. And I've used their boarding several times in the past for a night or two and recently for a whole week. I can honestly say I didn't worry a single moment about the safety, happiness, or comfort of my dog while I was out of town. She always come homes happy and healthy (and ready for quiet snuggles).

Please see the photos of my Precious boy after a day at this place .. I trusted this place with my most precious possessions. This has got to be the most uncaring bunch of folks I have ever encountered. My beloved Yorki Bentley almost died in their care. They for some reason thought it was ok to put a 12 lb Yorki unsupervised in with a pit bull. My sweet Bentley was attacked by this pit bull and left in a corner. When he was found he was in shock . They had no clue how long he had been laying there severely injured. This pitbull crushed the left side of my dogs face, Crushed his eye socket and not to mention all the puncture wounds on the face and neck. We have to syringe water and food down his throat for him to be able to eat. The Puncture wounds went all the way thru his neck into his throat. How he survived I still don’t know .. They sent him to the local animal hospital by an employee. Owner never showed up . I got a little short text message from owner saying sorry .Never asked if my dog was alive or the extent of the injury. I followed up the next day to get the info on the dog that attacked my Bentley. (Which they would not give me.). At that time we spoke to the owners husband where he admitted the fault of the business but I was refused to see the video of the attack and pretty much dismissed us like we were being a problem. The only time in the past month this company has even checked on my dog was because I forced the question from them .. They called my vets office the day after the incident and tried to retrieve Bentleys records without my knowledge. The vets office called me while they were on the other line. (sneaky) When I told River City that if they wanted to know something they needed to contact me . They asked how he was . That is the only time they have asked about his condition. It’s been almost a month since the incident . Bentley is still recovering and struggling to eat. He will never be the same.. There was no Bones in his face that the vet could even put a metal plate to reconstruct his face. Want to know the real kicker they kept my remaining money for my daycare package . Please be aware of this place .. Sometimes what looks great from the outside isn’t always the real picture . Since the attack I have met others that have had their beloved pets attacked at this daycare. Its safe to say supervision is lacking.

New to the area with an adopted pup, I was struggling to get him socialized, both with people and dogs. He's appx 6 months now, 80lbs and still growing- so many people wouldn't even approach him. Not RCBP. Made an appointment to look at the facility and meet the staff and my pup (Riot) made it very clear he approved! He now goes regularly and gets Super Excited if you say "doggie daycare". He had his first training with Ashley last week and she was so impressive, we scheduled a few more. My pup is being well taken care of, learning and happy as he can be. What more could a dog mom ask for? Highly Recommend.

This business smells like a barn with farm animals and they don't give the dogs enough water. So they come home smelling terrible and unusually thirsty that does not happen at other establishments. I stopped taking my dog there especially because they had rescues on the premises and a litter of puppies that were in their own feces in the checkin area. All of this is very dangerous for your dog. They also don't do tours and don't always have someone in the play area. No tours should be a red flag for anyone.

Our 7 month old Rottweiler puppy attends daycare here regularly and he loves it! The staff is excellent and very trustworthy with your fur baby. We’ve also taken a basic obedience class here and it has helped so much! I highly recommend RCBP because they treat you and your fur baby like family here.

Our older golden lab, Chance stayed here from time to time and he seemed very happy about the stay. Some places he had been boarded, all he wanted to do was leave. The doctors and staff at the clinic are great, top notch and care about your pets. We recently had to have my buddy put down because of major health issues, diabeties did not help and he was pretty much blind. One of the doctors, which we feel like family, was having a hard time talking to my wife about putting him down. Doc did a great job with him. Thank you all for everything. I will miss my buddy! On 7/24/2021 we dropped off our new addition to the family for boarding. A 6 month old, behemoth of a golden retriever, weighing in at 63.5 lbs. and not a bit of fat on him. Thanks everyone for taking care of General Lincoln or "Link" It was the first time away, and his first sleepover with the staff. I watched him Saturday and night and Sunday. I called and left a message that I thought he had been destroying his sleep mat. In a few minutes on call, called back and confirmed! I told her to just throw a folded blanket down, he would be fine. Sure enough later I checked, he was on a thick folded blanket and was asleep. They take our guy out early in the morning, mid afternoon, and are back in in the evening. Late pickup is 7-8 and by what I've seen after this is when at least some of the dogs are turned out. We were suppose to pick link up between 7-8 p.m. around 2, they text and said they would be in for awhile let them know if we wanted to pick him up early. I was about 30 minutes out going home and was going to go back 20 minutes one way to pick Link up! Thanks for the text, thanks for caring and the great service. Oh and for Links' first visit, he seemed happy! They said he did great, I asked so I would know how our training was going, if he had any mishaps inside, not a one she said. A special shout out to Lisa and her daughter team!

Marlee is a regular boarding visitor there. At least 4 or 5 times yearly. Her usual stay is between 3 and 5 days. The staff are excellent and truly treat her great. We are able to relax knowing she is well taken care of during her stays.

Beau loved his first stay here! Thank you to everyone who took care of our working dog in training (SAR k9) while we took a much needed vacation to visit family in Minnesota! We love y’all! ❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️

We have lived here Elizabeth City since 94 and I did not know that Paradise pet resort even existed. Using their service was a great experience! All of the staff from the check-in to the ladies that took care of our dog while we were gone for 6 days to the checkout was exceptional!We will be going back to take our Roxie for her check-ups !Thank you all for your kindness and care.

Incredibly deceptive. The pictures and descriptions don't match what you actually get. It seems much has changed since the other reviews are a few years old. Check in and out are difficult and confusing. When we checked in we received friendly service, the facility seemed clean and safe. When I requested to take my dog to the kennel and see his accommodations, the run around began. I was told if I wanted to do this I would have to wait. After a few minutes I was allowed to go in. It smelled like fresh cleaning solutions and urine. I noticed several dogs with urine and feces in their kennels. I was told that were not used to being indoors. I expressed a concern about the this leaking into my dogs kennel. I was assured it would not be a problem. When we picked up our dog the smell of urine was over whelming. I asked to accompany the staff to retrieve the dog, I was told no there were dogs loose in the back and only employees were allowed in. This seems very odd. The dog came out shaking, this a family pet who lives inside and is generally very low key. I took him outside he immediately urinated and pooped. I offered him water, he drank a 1/2 gallon. I when in to retrieve his food, bowls, and bed. They were all soaked and dripping wet, when asked I was told it was water. The liquid was yellow and smelled like urine. By this point I was done and was ready to get the dog home. I have trained, competed, traveled, and boarded dogs allover the country. This is the nastiness I have ever seen items and the most upset I have ever seen this dog. I truly believe these animals were left in kennels with any attention, water, or chance to relieve themselves. I will not return and would suggest you go elsewhere if you value your pets care.

We have used this facility several times and always had acceptable care of our pups. There have been many staff changes and we did not recognize any of the kennel workers this last boarding. When we left the pups they were all healthy. We liked this facility because it was a vet on site and if there was a problem it would be addressed. Within seconds of picking up our girls we noticed there was something wrong with one. I tried to help her but was unable on my own. There were 3 kennel workers there but none offered to help me fix the problem that occurred on their watch. My poor pup was left in horrible shape and nothing had been done for obvious days. Whats the point of Vet centered boarding? I tried calling to get a reason for the substandard treatment but nobody returned my call. I should have demanded to speak with a supervisor at the time we picked up but I was in total shock that they would leave a pup in this condition. We will be looking for new boarding options.

This is absolutely the best place to bring your pet hands down. Major plus having a vet directly next door!! I've brought my 12 year old cattle dog here for 2 extended stays. The staff is incredible, the establishment is clean, and the experience could not be better. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone in need of their service!!

Can't begin to explain how happy I was and my 2 large dogs were staying here!! Love the staff and the grounds are beautiful and very pet friendly!! The cameras in the room so we could watch our furbabies are a huge plus!! Will be using them again for any boarding needs!!

I’ll never take my dog here again website is a complete lie!! Looks nothing like the pics of the rooms animals are left alone 99% of the time bathroom time maybe 5 minutes I feel terrible can’t get anyone to call me I paid for the most expensive

Drove up from Florida for a wedding. Our family was staying in a house in Edenton that did not allow dogs so we chose this location to board our 1 year old Labrador Retriever for one night. I was already hesitant to leave him there even only for one night and was a nervous wreck the whole night. We had never left him before. There was a little hiccup at check in where I was told he needed a fecal exam and rabies shot when his records said he had them in July. It was quickly resolved after I pointed out the dates. The cameras In his luxury suite were a life saver as I was able to make sure he was okay throughout the day and night. They supplied two water bowls and a blanket and bed which was so nice! There was a TV but I don’t think they do anything with that unless it’s requested. I do have a pretty significant complaint though which I feel really requires that the owner of this facility consider making some changes. Our 1 year old lab may have kidney issues. He has elevated creatinine which we are watching closely and running other tests for. I knew he would go from 8pm-8am without being able to go outside to relieve himself as there is no one present in the building during those times. I knew we really didn’t have a choice as this is how kennels normally run I assume. He usually goes out around 10-11pm and again around 6-7am. Our schedule always changes but most of the time he doesn’t go more than 8 hours without going outside. He doesn’t ever go 12 hours and he will not pee in an unfamiliar location because he is trained to only go outside. Anyway, I was pretty upset when I came to pick him up the next morning at 9:45am and was told by the girl working that she hadn’t had time yet to take him out. That’s nearly 14 hours that he didn’t get to go outside and held his bladder and bowels for! Poor thing peed for a long time and had a bowel movement right away when we let him walk on the grass outside the building. I can’t imagine this was good for his kidneys If he truly has chronic issues and I am just baffled that the girl working didn’t take the dogs out yet. It just makes me so mad that this is how he was treated. I appreciate the good things about this location and would probably leave him there again but with more specific instructions about his care. Thankfully it was only one night.

Where do I even start. Preston and Jim have been wonderful with our sweet boy Ace. I didn’t think Ace would change due to his behaviors. It would be hard for us to give him the life we wanted for him because we were unable to take him out in Public. After his month-long stay we finally were able to bring him home and he’s a completely different dog. We were able to take him out in public without him lunging at others and barking at other dogs. I’m very pleased with the results and I will definitely say it was worth it. At the end we came home with the tools we needed to keep practicing with him. I definitely learned a lot just the one hour we were with Preston.

Excellent job Jim and Preston! We used Hoffman Haus training for our 6th month old lab and noticed once home (1day) the big change already! How did we choose this place? Charlie our 3.5 year old Golden Retriever has spent many nights there and we’re totally impressed so why not continue using there services. Again many thanks. Ted, Sandy, Charlie and of course Brodie

We've been bringing our dog here close to 5 yrs for a day up to a couple of weeks and he's always had a good time. We have a Malinois, so we understand that he's not for everyone, but the staff at Hoffman Haus are knowledgeable to be able to deal with different breeds. We trust them with our dog any day. We appreciate being given daily updates, pictures/videos, which gives us a peace of mind that he's being taken care of. They have tons of supplementary services outside of lodging which is nice. Keep up the good work!

Jim and Preston were wonderful trainers! Our dog was 9 months old when we enrolled her so she had already picked up some bad habits. Oakley was very bad at jumping and biting for attention. They were so patient with her and the communication between them and us was great and informative. The facility was beautiful, clean, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming to our dog and us! Oakley was treated wonderfully and she was so well taken care of! I highly recommend Haufman House for training your fur baby as well as their awesome boarding facility! Thank you so much for all of your diligent and hard work Jim and Preston!

Hoffman Haus is the greatest!! I brought Munchkin (aka Munchie) when I realized he needed much more training than I was able to do or even the knowledge to do. Preston and Jim are absolutely incredible and so knowledgeable about training. Just after a week, Munchie was learning things I could have never imagined. Preston took him and loved him like he was his own. They truly went above and beyond caring for and training Munchie. All of the staff there were truly amazing from day one!!! I never worried if he was being cared for and loved. Every time that I texted Preston to check on Munchie, he always answered and sent videos and pictures. I could never ask to be treated with such kindness than what I was given by Jim, Preston and everyone that I come across since day one. Munchkin has come a long way since August and he has so much more to learn. I can’t say enough great things about Hoffman Haus!!!!

Jim and Preston were amazing with my doodle Zoe!!! They took a 7 month old pup and taught her to listen to commands and do them on command! Super impressed with their skills and my well behaved pup! Looking forward to continuing to learn during their Saturday training sessions! Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!

Hoffman Haus did a wonderful job helping our dog Mollie. For the last 4 years we have struggled to figure out how to train her as she becomes very anxious around other people and dogs she does not know. We were thrilled to get several updates during her month-long stay at Hoffman Haus showing her progress and Jim took his time to talk us through his work with Mollie and answer any questions we had. Not only did he train Mollie, but he trained us so that we could continue working with her at home to further her success. Hoffman Haus provided the training foundation we needed and we can truly say that Mollie came home a different dog. We know it will take continued practice to maintain her skills but we now feel that we have the tools and knowledge to help Mollie be the great dog we know she can be.

The staff at Hoffman Haus have been the best home away from home for my dog, Nova. They take the best care of her and as a frequent traveler, it’s such a peace of mind to leave her with people I trust. They know me and they know her, greet us by name every time we walk in! The photos are evidence of how much joy she gets out of her time there! Thank you!!! 🙏

I've been a customer for 2 years! I've boarded my dogs here but have never boarded my cat. BUT Matthew has told me time and time again how well the cats are taken care of at this amazing resort, and the pictures I have received of just my dogs makes me feel like I am leaving them in a safe place. I just boarded my cat for the Holidays and have already received pictures of my baby, happy as can be! Thank you to a wonderful and loving team!

We decided to train and board our 10 week old cane corso and after him we sent our 15 month husky!! It made a whole world deference, yes they were gone for 30 days and yes missed them terribly, but their whole attitude was different!! Jim and his staff are amazing and they loved our babies like we would have!! We received updates via videos and text! We now take our trained fur babies everywhere and their behavior is amazing!!! We definitely will be going back for boarding and grooming!!! I can not say enough great things about Hoffman Haus!! I recommend the to any and everyone!!! Excellent care and service all around!!!

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.

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.

We just relocated to Greenville and had to find a day care for our 3-year old German Shepherd. The Dog Play Spot has been wonderful! Our very active and playful pup is well cared for, has a great time and comes home ready to rest (great for us). Their hours are really flexible and the cost is reasonable. Definitely recommend!

My dog loves going to the dog play spot! The staff treats every dog like family! I love checking the camera to see what my little is up too! Very convenient as well.

We love the dog play spot! The flexible hours, online booking, and web cameras to watch my fur baby during the day are all very convenient and appreciated. The staff gets very happy to see my girl when I bring her in for daycare. When I have boarded her there I was given a report card upon pick up of when she was fed and her meds given to her which was signed off every AM/PM which was nice to read. I can tell the staff is caring for the dogs that attend and any questions I’ve had they take the time to answer them and discuss any concerns I give them at drop off. We have been using DPS since October of 2023.

The Dog Play Spot saved our Christmas holiday weekend with family! We were on a wait list and thankful we got our girl in because this place is the absolute best! We heard nothing but good things about TDPS, and if our dog could talk she would say the same thing. Our dog is a one of a kind where it takes a special person to have patience with her. She doesn't play well with others so we opted for extra playtime with staff and I just KNOW it made her day. We were able to call to get an update on how she was doing and the staff even emailed us pictures which helped to put our mind at ease. We are incredibly thankful for the staff at TDPS and will use their services again and recommend them to anyone looking for boarding!

Our dogs were so well accommodated that they barely wanted to leave when we came to take them home. We have full confidence and peace of mind that our dogs are safe and taken care of with kindness and compassion when they can’t come with us when traveling. We’ve used several different places before we found “The Dog Play Spot” and our only regret is that we didn’t find them sooner. We trust them wholeheartedly from this day forward. All the stars!

I am traveling for work so my dog has been coming here Monday through Friday. The staff is wonderful, With every person with whom I have had contact very kind and friendly. They always great my dog by name and treat him like he’s their own dog. Most importantly, my dog loves it here. He Knows where he’s going in the morning and gets excited when we pull into the parking lot. While my days are long & I feel guilty for how long he’s there, I know he’s being well taken care of and loved. I highly recommend The Dog Play Spot.

My 2 dogs love the Playspot. They run in in the morning and are so tired and happy when I pick them up. They also have a very skilled groomer available.

My 2 year old retriever mix, Copper, went today for the first time for a half day. I can’t say enough about how awesome our experience was. The staff gets an A++++ from AK at the front to Taylor and the rest of the gang whom I just don’t know their name yet! Copper will be coming back for more fun and for her grooming. So very pleased with these folks. I just can’t wait to take her back! 🐶

This was our first visit at the play spot and our pup loved it. We checked the webcams throughout the day and he was playing and having a great time. We will definitely be back! The staff were very friendly and helpful.

So glad to have The Dog Place Spot available for Ruby. There is no problem getting her groomed while she is there for day care or just for grooming. I appreciate the workers and their love for dogs.

Four Paws is Awesome. They helped take my pretty unruly and mouthy pup to a mostly well-behaved puppy. He is still a puppy but he is the most loving and social pup. Thanks Four Paws and Canine Training Unlimited. The owner/trainers (& family) and staff are all so wonderful. My puppy loves to go to doggy daycare

Our Dachshund Peanut loves doggie daycare now and then. Been thru basic training. Needs more ☮️. Wonderful staff

I cannot say enough great things about Four Paws. Our dog has been going to their doggy day care since he was just a few months old, and the staff has been such a huge part of shaping his personality and behavior. You can tell that everyone genuinely loves animals, and they greet you and your dog by name when you walk in. They have tons of amazing training programs, and the prices are so reasonable. They even have bonus free days for regular day care dogs. The vibe is really great, and the business is run efficiently and pleasantly. Honestly, if they allowed human kids I’d send ours there too 😂

I took my dog for Four Paws for 2 years and sadly had to move away! I wish I could have taken Four Paws with me!! We did multiple training classes as well as daycare weekly. The staff are attentive and friendly. The facility is well maintained, clean, and honestly a dog's paradise. They have lots of room to run and romp or to lay around in the afternoon sun. Love this place and would highly recommend to anyone looking for training or daycare!

They aren’t a fan of bigger dogs, my dog has never been aggressive in his life and that’s how 4 paws labeled him. He is very playful and friendly and has never harmed anyone. 4 paws wanted us to muzzle our dog. If I could I’d give this place zero stars.

Boomer goes here for daycare at least once a week and he absolutely loves it! I love seeing all the pictures on Facebook of all the doggos having fun!

I had initially made a review immediately following Domino's training and after I was reached out to I decided to remove the post even though it was honest. There was a follow up meeting but I did not feel it made a difference. We had multiple conversations expressing our very specific concerns for Domino prior to starting the program. We were consistently reassured that his behaviors would be addressed. I paid $1250 and there was no noticeable change in his behavior. I was responsive and completed the homework. I don't have anything negative to say about the politeness or friendliness of the staff. Domino enjoyed his time there but that was a major financial strain for not one of his problem behaviors to have improved. I think it could be successful if you're looking to improve on leash skills. I brought up my concerns during both the drop off training and group lessons portions. I suggest having some kind of checklist or graduation criteria agreement beyond simply completing classes for that kind of time and money.

I feel awful having to write this review, as my dog really loved coming here, however unfortunately he contracted kennel cough from the facility. I was not made aware that the illness was going around, and when I called and left a voicemail first thing Monday morning stating that he had contracted kennel cough at daycare (he does not socialize with dogs anywhere else) and I would like a call back, I never heard from anyone at the facility. I spent my weekend taking care of a sick dog and got stuck with a vet bill. I understand kennel cough is a risk with daycare, and I am not upset that he got sick at daycare, however I am extremely disappointed in how this matter was handled and will not be returning. The daycare is still up and running, and as far as I am aware has not let any pet owner know about the transmission of kennel cough. Extremely unprofessional behavior on the owners part. I will not be returning. If you want a facility that cares about the health of the Pets and not just the money, I recommend going somewhere else. After writing this post I did have a manager call me. Whoever took the messages that day did not relay the message over to the manager. Mistakes happen and that is okay and they have fixed their mistake and are taking appropriate measures!

Perfect place!!! Supervised off leash area, good food, beer, and nice people and their dogs. Awesome place.

Whether we are driving into the parking lot for daycare or obedience class, our dogs start wagging their tails the moment we arrive. They LOVE being there. That tells a lot about how the staff engages with the pups.

I was in Greenville for a short 3 month contract for work, and Puptown was a lifesaver! I work long hours, so they came to check on millie two times a day, 3 times a week- they were always on time, communication was great, and never canceled on me. Millie will miss her Puptown crew!!

My pups love Matt! My 11 year old rescue pup loved Matt instantly (she has serious anxiety around new people) which has never happened with anyone. Matt is patient and caring with both of my pups. Matt is patient with my extremely energetic 1.5 year old Boxer. My pups come home tired after their adventures with Matt. I love that I always get updates and pictures from Matt with each adventure they go on. Matt truly cares about my pups and I highly recommend him for all your pet needs!

Matt and his team took great care of our fur babies while we were away. We didn’t have to worry at all about them being happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Puptown for all of your petsitting needs. ( Plus they send lots of great photos while you’re gone)

I continue to use Puptown several times each week for drop in care. Matt and his team are both dependable and responsible. Matt is quick to check with me if anything is out of the usual routine (like checking with me the time I forgot to leave my pup in the crate when I left for the day!). I know my pup is in good hands when I leave. I appreciate the feedback on how the visit went. It's a relief to know I've left my pup in the care of folks who will look after her as if she is one of their own.

I absolutely cannot recommend Puptown pet love sitters enough!! I am here temporarily for work and had to go out of town for a wedding. I have two cats, one of which is geriatric and requires daily medications. Molly was our pet sitter. She came over prior to us leaving to meet the cats and make sure she felt comfortable administering the medication. While I was gone, Molly sent me daily pictures and updates and went out of her way to make sure my cats had an enjoyable time while I was gone. She left my house spotless (all dirty litter and food cans put in the outside garbage). She was wonderful and I would definitely recommend Molly and Puptown to others! She was probably the best pet sitter I have ever had.

I cannot speak more highly of Puptown!!! They are reliable, flexible, trustworthy, and they take such good care of my little fur baby. They first started watching her when she had just had surgery and they were gentle and patient with her, and now that she is older (and crazy wild) they keep her active. My schedule can be very inconsistent and change often, and they always accommodate. From daily walks to day-long visits, I cannot recommend more!! I also love the update photos we get during each visit!

Pam Archer is my awesome sitter/companion for our three dogs. She’s attentive, responsive, and thoughtful. My 3 love her! Matt and Puptown is everything you can ask for in a dog companion company. I can leave town and not worry about my dogs i’m so glad that I found Matt and Pam.

Thanks to the kind owners of Puptown Pet Love, my fiance and I are now able to take advantage of trips away from our senior dog and cats! Matt and Leigh were very personable at our first meeting and paid attention to the needs and personality of each animal as they were introduced. They have been available to help us out, even with short notice, and while we're away they send us updates to keep our minds at ease. It is great that we can travel without worrying, now that we have a pet sitter we can trust!

I always get anxiety leaving my cat when I am out of town. I don't want to stress her out in a pet hotel, so this past year I tried out Puptown Love. Mollie and Matt were so amazing in caring for Jezebel that she was waiting for them at the door after I had been home : ) Their reliability, quality and consistency in care have taken away the anxiety of travel and I know my home and baby are in good hands.

Matt is awesome! He had been taking care of our pups for over 3 years before he moved to NC (y’all are lucky to have him!). He is super reliable and just absolutely LOVES our dogs! He not only walked them, but also stayed at our house several times while we went out of town. He is super trust worthy and reliable :). The dogs would get so excited when they heard his car pull up! We miss him!
