Pet Sitters in Butts Station, Chesapeake

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.

Just want to share my experience. Put my 10 month old foxhound lab into daycare at four paws inn, she has attended 3x after the first day of picking her up Both of her front pads were torn the skin lifted and hanging off. I noticed as we got in my car she wouldn’t stand on her front paws. Brought it to their attention the next day as we couldn’t return due to her needing to heal, once healed we go back for a half day on a Friday picked her up at 2pm she did well, now on tuesday I drop her off in the morning at 9:30 for a full day and not even 30min into her being there I received a phone call saying she was yelping when ever they touched her back. Mind you she was totally fine when dropping her off. They had no idea what it was they said it was up to me to let her play or they can put her in the kennel. They said she was acting normal but you can’t touch her back. I told them I would need a min to get back there so it was up to their discretion to let her play or put her up. I had then called my vet to let them know what’s going on and before I could even get off the phone with my vet they were calling me back saying I needed to come get her. I rush over get to her and as I’m checking her back the lady comes from behind the counter and up to us and my dog literally was so scared she started to piddle as she approached. After my vet visit, I called and left a message as to what my vet had inspected and said she had been bit or was rolled on to something as to the bruise and lump on her back. Now I have left two messages with the business one to inform them of the outcome and the next day calling to AGAIN keep her out to heal.. I have still have yet to receive a call back. I will say The staff is and was very friendly, At least a phone call to check up on her would have been nice or any sympathy at this point. My dog is now on 3 different meds since we started here.

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.

After reading other's reviews, I decided to book my pets Pippin and Casper, a dog and a cat, with PetSuites Virginia Beach for boarding while we were going to be out of the country for 9 days. The online booking process was so simple and having a dog that prefers human friends over interacting with other dogs, it was nice that they offer individual play. Drop off and pick up were a breeze and everyone there is so friendly! My pets came home so happy! I will definitely be booking with PetSuites again!

We had never boarded our pets before but we saw the reviews and took a chance. It was a wonderful experience for us & our pets. The staff were awesome. I called several times before arrival with questions that popped up to confirm answers and they always took the time to answer them. When we arrived for check in the staff we friendly and extra welcoming to our fur babies. They took pics & sent reports daily of our pups and when we picked up our fur babies they were happy and worn out from all the fun & play time they had. I recommend if your looking around for a safe enviroment & caring staff Pet Suites is that place. Thank you again to the great staff for taking care of our fur babies & making their experience away from us awesome & safe!

Our fur babies absolutely LOVED going to Petsuites VA Beach for daycare, day boarding, and overnight stays! The facility was super clean and loved that everything was in house including grooming services. Thank you to all the staff for taking such great care of Ginny and Bowman! Only reason we had to leave was because we moved away but it was a great place while living in the 757!

I’m always pleased with their service. My puppy is always happy to go. I love how they always greet him and show him so much love. I love how they have so many activities for the puppies to do. Great place to go. The staff is really nice.

Lots of space and attention for my cat. Custom feeding schedule and play time. He didn't want to leave. Very impressive!

This was the first time we have ever boarded our Brody so we were apprehensive. The staff put us at ease immediately. They welcomed Brody with genuine warmth. It was clear they love pets. We will definitely not hesitate to use their services in the future.

This was our first time ever leaving our furbaby. The associates at PetSuites took such amazing care of our dog and kept our minds at ease during the whole 4 days of him being with them. They kept us informed via text and we greatly appreciate everything. Definitely recommend PetSuites to anyone looking to have their furbaby taken care of. 5 out of 5 stars 🌟

My dog is so happy to get there and happy to see us pick him up. Reasonable price. Great working hours. The staff is always pleasant and polite.

My pets were very well taken care at the Virginia Beach PetSuites!! After a pervious bad experience with a different kennel, I was nervous to leave my dogs (1 small & 1 medium-big) at all. I stopped in for a tour before the stay, and PetSuites was very transparent and happy to give me a tour of the facility. They accommodate small to big dogs with different size play areas and also offer individual play-time with staff for those who have dogs not so happy to join in playing with others (I have one of those) or dogs too shy or fragile to play in groups (have one of those as well). Both of my dogs are breeds known for being sensitive to change. During my dogs 11 day stay with PetSuites, I was continuously kept up to date on how the dogs were doing, supplied pictures, welcomed to ask questions via telephone and text during their stay, and met with a pleasant response by staff that never made me feel like I was bothering them. The dogs ate, played, and got a bath while I was away. Staff supplied medication as well during the stay. Upon my return from vacation, my dogs were VERY clean and super happy!! In addition, the manager at this location is highly professional, super helpfully, and always enthusiastic about assisting. I would highly recommend this PetSuites to dog owners of big and small dogs of any kind!!!!

I’ve never boarded my dogs before , I assumed if taken out they would use the harness and leash provided . When dropping off the dogs the lady brought out a rope slip lead . She said they use them instead , she could tell that I wasn’t fawned of them by my facial expressions. She then asked if they would like to use a cross body method . I said yes and felt reassured with the situation . Drop off was smooth after that and when I picked them up they were happy . I did notice them smelling awful of some chemical like smell , not sure why they had the odor they had . Once I got home I was playing with my dog and rubbing his stomach while he laid on his back . I noticed Bruno had cut from rope burn across his neck . I tried to inspect further but he growled , which I knew he would he doesn’t like his neck touched . I’ve attached to show images of this incident and called to complain . Lady on the phone said someone would call back and never did .

If you’re in the Virginia Beach area I highly recommend them for watching your dog they will cater to your dogs needs for an individual experience for each dog very good highly recommend will bring dog back if we go out of town.

Absolutely love Cameron and Hayes. They are so fantastic with our two dogs. They have a nice yard for them to hang out in and play. They definitely treat our pups as their own whenever they are there. We’ve used them a few times and will continue to when we need! Highly recommend.

We used The Epps Dog Nook for our boy Kylo when we went out of town for a couple days. He had a great time. They were extremely communicative and responsive. We really appreciated the home style atmosphere and acclimation process and care they use with new members. Thank you both so very much, it was great to know that Kylo was in great hands while we were away!

We had a last minute trip come up and the Epps took our family dogs in without hesitation. Very friendly people and great with animals! Will definitely be bring my dogs back to them!

Recommended for anyone in the deep creek/chesapeake area. Cameron and Hayes are very nice and respectful people, will definitely bring my dog back to them when I go out of town again.

Absolutely wonderful! Our dog Harper loved going here! They took her in as if she was their family pet, she was so well loved and taken care of! She was always so happy and excited to be dropped off! Thank you for taking such good care of Harper!

I highly recommend! awesome people. Very open and communicative. Definitely will leave my pup there again when i make my way out of town.

I went out of town on a detachment for 2 weeks and left my basset hound with the Epps family. And let me tell you mine and finneus’ experience has honestly been the best. They took the very best care of him and before leaving I asked if I could be updated and sent pictures of him and they did! If you’re ever in need of a pet sitter for your fur baby in the deep creek/ Chesapeake area definitely use them!

The Epps Dog Nook took great care of my dog Louis! He didn’t want to come home he loved them so much. If anyone is looking for a dog boarding service in the deep Creek or Chesapeake area, look no further. This is the best hands-down. Incredible loving family owned business.

Great service! The Dog Nook took responsibility in taking care of Arlo when he needed it. 100% recommend ty!

We've been taking our dog there for a few months now. The staff are great! They clearly care about the dogs. They have a free "interview" to help figure out what the best program is for your dog. Ours ended up with the social play and I love that I can watch him playing and running around. He always comes home tired with a smile on his face. Would definitely recommend!

Roxie Loves Camp Bow Wow!! The staff is very friendly and it always smells nice and fresh. You can even check in on your pup throughout the day via cameras. I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow. Melanie B,

We always have a great experience at Camp Bow Wow and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants their fur baby taken care of by a wonderful group of people! Every time I take Luna in I know she is in good hands. I love that they have cameras up where I can watch my girl play. Luna used to be in daycare when we lived in Colorado, but after moving to VA we were told by two daycare places that she couldn’t handle it. Camp Bow Wow’s “interview” process is so well done and because of the cameras I got to see how she reacted through each step of the process. She has been several times for day care and a couple of time for boarding. Luna is always happy to go in. I also appreciate the pictures I get of Luna during her engagements and how they have special activities for the pups. I’m so grateful to the owners and employees for the work they do and the love with which they do it.

Best doggy daycare ever! I boarded my pup for 12 days and everyone was amazing with him. They have state of the art surveillance system so I can keep an eye on my pup at all times. They also made it very easy for my pup to be comfortable there. He made many new friends, both humans and dogs. Amazing place and even better people. Thank you Mr. Anthony and crew of Camp Bow Wow Virginia Beach!

We discovered Camp Bow Wow in February when our usual kennel was full. Checked out the Camp and immediately fell in love. Our small beagle stayed with them 5 nights the first week they were opened and came home so happy and relaxed. He has been there for other Kennel stays and many day care days since and some days doesn't even want to leave. He loves his people there. My boy's reaction when dropping him off or picking him up lets me know everyone there loves their jobs and the pups. He drags me in and is never in a hurry to leave to go home. We highly recommend Camp Bow Wow of Virginia Beach to anyone looking for a great place for their pups whether it's for a kennel stay or interactive play time for half a day or a full day of day care. Another plus is that we love the cameras so we can watch our babies play. We love their special activities too. This was for Mother's Day! Donna Williams & Jester

My 3 year old Labrador Retriever loves playing at Camp Bow Wow. He looks forward to going there whenever I mention play. He gets all excited. The facility is very clean and Anthony and his staff are great. I can watch Cody playing during his time there and feel comfortable with his care. I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow!

We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow! Our dog was going to a different Doggy Day Care when we switched to camp Bow Wow and it is such a better experience. If you’re considering Doggy Day Care or boarding, you absolutely have to try this place. Anthony and his team are amazing!

We love Camp Bow Wow. We visited two other recommended locations before discovering this amazing facility. Although she was tested several times we were told our Golden Retriever did not pass the tests to be with other dogs. First time at Camp Bow Wow she passed! The owners and employees know what they are doing. Luna loves going to camp! Check them out and your pup will love them too.

We just picked up our 3 y/o goldendoodle Winter from her first boarding stay at Camp Bow Wow. I am very impressed and we are happy knowing she is in great hands when we have to go out of town and can’t bring her. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. The interview process was great and informative as well. We appreciate the extended hours for pick up compared to a few other places. Having access to cameras in play rooms gave us and our kids a peace of mind knowing she was having fun w/ friends. During pick up, we received a summary of her stay and updates on how she ate, bathed, slept, and behaved. Very clean facility- you can even see the staff cleaning after messes and mopping the empty play areas. Winter will definitely come back for camp.

Going out of town has never been easier leaving my puppy in the hands of Camp Bow Wow Virginia Beach!! I received photos and an update from staff showing me all the fun Toro had during his enrichment time in the ball pit. I also received a call letting me know that my puppy lost a baby tooth and they saved it in case we wanted the tooth fairy to come when we got home! When I called to check on him, they saw I called, and called me right back! The cameras ease my mind, just seeing his tail wagging and all the fun he's having with his friends!!! There's definitely a personal touch every time I interact with all the staff. What a great team! You and your pup will have zero disappointment staying at Camp Wow Virginia Beach!!!

So glad to have found this service. After decades of relying on unreliable neighbors/kids and individual pet sitting services we learned our lesson. Their vehicle breaks down - your pets don't get fed. Unexpected medical emergency - your pets don't get fed. NOT with Stable Hands! They always have a back up sitter. We get daily text/email notices of each feeding, with pics. The attention to detail and treatment of our babies like their own is exemplary. Love Stable Hands Pet Care! We've been with Stable Hands three years now and I wanted to add to my post. We are still extremely pleased with their services. Having a web portal to enter in new pet data, edit instructions and communicate is another benefit. We enjoy the monthly electronic newsletter that keeps us informed and connected even when a whole year passes before you need a pet sitter. We had a cat in hospice that they ensured received the extra TLC she needed before she passed. There are so many good things to write and not enough space!

I have used Stable Hands for several years now for my dog walking and dog sitting needs. So when we added a puppy to our family, Stable Hands did NOT disappoint! We absolutely love our dog walkers from Stable Hands and consider them a part of our family! And so do our pups! They look forward to their "visits" each week and are more well behaved with them than they are for their owners! 😂 We can't say enough about their services whether you are looking for during the day while at work or while you are out of town. STABLE HANDS IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN!

I've been working with them for a few years now, and I have to say, they have been amazing. My dogs especially love Sandy. I have had several great walkers visit our two large dogs though and always had a great experience. They bring in mail, and, on our most recent vacation, messaged to ask if we needed things out away during the tropical storm. They use a very user friendly app that really adds to an easy experience scheduling, paying invoices, and seeing pictures and reports of their visits. When I have had to ask for extra visits when getting held up on vacation, they have been very responsive and flexible. I just can't say enough about how great they have been!

We have had nothing short of a fantastic experience with Stable Hands. Ally has been our primary caretaker with some extra amazing people. We love their attention and love for our pets every single visit. They regularly send updates with some amazing pictures thru their app and via email at every visit. We are so grateful to be able to trust our furbabies with such a wonderful company. Their attention to detail (such as bringing in a package) does not go unnoticed. If you need a pet sitting service, don’t look any further!

Stable Hands has been taking wonderful care of our pets for over six years. We can relax on vacations knowing our pets are in good hands, plus all of the detailed pictures and reports they send for each visit for all six of our pets. Our senior dogs passed away earlier this year, who they took care of for a good portion of their lives. Stable Hands took extra care when our pups were ill and when their age caught up with them. They let us know right away if there was something to be concerned about. They earned the trust of all our cats. They go the extra mile, bringing in mail, picking up messes, etc. I can't recommend them enough!

If I could give a zero, I would! This business is definitely not professional. I spoke to the owner, Lara, about sitting for my little terrier. We scheduled a meet-and-greet; however, prior to the meeting, I read a review that was very concerning to me. The reviewer stated that Stable Hands did not show up to take care of their dog, and it was a terrible experience. This is a valid fear that I have about in-home pet sitting, so I called the business to cancel the meeting. The owner's husband answered, and I apologized but let him know I was concerned about the review I read. As I was trying to explain my fear of this happening, he said, "you are not tactful and if you are going to judge us by one review, we don't want your business anyway." He then proceeded to hang up on me. I am so very thankful that I found out about the unprofessional, "untactful" behavior of this individual and his company PRIOR to having them sit for a precious member of my family.

This company, and specifically the young man we've been booking to walk our dog, is an absolute God Send! I can't even begin to explain how thrilled I am with their service. I'm a full time EMT, and my husband works full time as a teacher as well as running EMS on the weekends. We are gone a lot and needed someone reliable and trustworthy to come over and walk our fur baby while we were working. Stable hands initially wasn't sure they could accommodate us because we live in Ocean view and they are centered in Virginia Beach. But they came back with a walker who, while wasnt close, was willing to meet with us. From the moment we met him this young man has been savior. And kat really seems to like him too. I never have to worry about my girl. He comes over on days we book him, walks her, refreshes her water and food and gives her treats. He's so flexible with our schedule and always sends us sweet pictures of their walks. Thank you so.much to stable hands for being there when we needed it. I truly adore having this company in my life. Best decision we could have made for pet care. 100/10 would recommend!!!

Since meeting Lara and David a year ago, Stable Hands has become our go to pet sitting service! They are reliable, knowledgeable, and most importantly... animal lovers! Our pets are always well cared for and we are able to fully relax when we are gone. They also graciously gather our mail and put out our trashcans. Reasonably priced, and online scheduling and payment makes everything a breeze!

Stable hands is very easy to work with and dependable. They leave a sheet detailing the time between walks and play with our dogs. We are very happy with the service, because it allows our dogs to be out of their kennels while we are at work. I would recommend stable hands to someone looking for pet sitting services.

David took excellent care of our kitties while we were out of town. He sent detailed updates with photos after each visit and even asked if he could wash the blanket for us after a hairball. Very professional service - would definitely use again.

This was my first experience dropping my dog off to ruff house (va beach) for Labor Day weekend because we were going out of town. I picked this facility based on the great reviews. I didn’t tour the facility with my husband b/c front desk staff stated there was a certain time that we would have to come in and we had to work. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary upon dropping her off. We did elect for play time for one day which was an upcharge. We never received pictures or updates regarding my dog. However we called Saturday and was told everything was going well and that she’s wagging her tail. She seemed happy she just wasn’t eating a lot. On Sunday we picked her up and she was panting like she was hot or didn’t have water. She looked a sweaty mess. I thought let me take her home in bathe her she might be overly tired. She slept all day Monday like she was depressed. As an update I called to speak to the manager Tuesday. The manager never came to the phone only relaying messages to the front desk staff that Asa wasn’t outside Sunday and they’re not sure why she was sweaty and panting. She seemed fine on Saturday when she was playing. Also I asked about room temp in the kennel and they stated it was 72 degrees which is a little in the warm side in my opinion. I will not be bringing my dog back. Unprofessional that the manager didn’t want to listen to my concerns.

Thank you all so much for taking care of our boy Milo. I was nervous at first leaving him for the first time since we've had him but with the staff taking pics of him everyday (I made sure to check lol) gave me and my family a warm fuzzy that he was being taking care of. I like the little report afterwards thats lets me know how he did as well. I look forward to bring him back for a future doggy daycare session to get accustomed to other pups. Thanks again!

The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and inviting. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted Sadie with genuine warmth and care, making her feel right at home. Their attention to detail and personalized approach made the entire experience exceptional. It was clear they prioritize customer satisfaction and go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable and valued.

We’ve been coming here for over 3 years. We’ve boarded our senior dogs with special needs, our super shy, skittish dogs, and our super active pups. All of them come back super happy and healthy. Staff is very helpful treat the pups with such love!

We boarded our two guinea pigs and we were so pleased with how clean their cage was when we picked them up. Their hay bag was full and there was food in their bowl so we know they were well taken care of. I also appreciated them being in a quiet area. We will definitely be back! We have boarded at another kennel previously and the difference is night and day. We highly recommend The Ruff House for your small animal boarding needs.

I was really worried about taking my dog to boarding/daycare for the first time but ruff house was nothing but helpful, accommodating, and kind. They were very quick & helpful when responding to all of my questions throughout the “onboarding process” & during my dogs stay! He tested into daycare and I’m so excited to see him grow and be properly socialized with other dogs in a controlled, safe environment. When I first received pictures of my dog playing with others, my heart melted. Thank you ruff house!!

It was my first time ever leaving my fur babies at a doggy boarding facility. The atmosphere is very clean. The staff is very nice and relaxed. They treated my babies really well and made sure that I knew they did well while I was gone. They’re very alert when it comes to their boarders and I love that. Will definitely be using them again in the future.

We had a wonderful grooming experience with Judy! Our pup came home happy, healthy and looking so handsome! We would highly recommend the Ruff House for their grooming services!!

Boarded our pup for the first time and we are so happy we picked Ruff House. The pictures taken during his stay shows how much he enjoyed it. They took such good care of him! We will definitely use them again for both boarding and grooming services.

I really wanted to love this place. I’ve taken my dog here twice. The first experience seemed great.. he was super tuckered out, and they took a ton of photos. Based on that, I decided to bring him back. This time, things were different. I didn’t really get much with the photos which I'm not too worried about, but he came home with an unusual amount of energy and INSANELY thirsty. He sprinted to his water bowl and i had to refill it twice.. which confused me. He’s not the kind of dog that requires constant stimulation to relax, so it felt odd. I had also requested a full groom for him, but when I picked him up, he didn’t smell fresh, which made me question if he even received a bath. At first, I let it go, but only a week later and he's showing signs that his anal glands are full. Now I’m wondering if I was charged for services that weren’t provided. To make matters worse, he has kennel cough. I don’t understand how dogs get sick in facilities that require updated vaccines. He’s never been sick before, and I feel awful for him.

The team at Top Dog really cares about your pups (they took very good care of mine, even when 1 was sick and needed emergency care when I was out of town). They are easy to communicate with and reliable and just wonderful people. I highly recommend Top Dog for walking and sitting. I have small dogs but Amy owns big dogs, so is comfortable with all types

Highly recommend Top Dog Walk! Amy and her team are great! They are trustworthy and reliable, they took good care of my 2 big dogs while we had getaways and helped us with walking Ace who needs lots of exercise. Wish we could still use them in Virginia Beach but understand why the commute is not feasible. If you need a petsitter/dogwalker in Norfolk they are definitely a great company to hire

I've utilized Top Dog Walk for over seven years. First class operation-trustworthy, always on time and the walkers genuinely like and care for my dog-from feeding to overnights they're the best !

My husband and I just moved to the area a couple of months ago. We reached out to Top Dog Walk prior to our move so we could have dog walking services set up quickly after our move. Amy was very responsive to our emails and set up a meet and greet right after our move. It was such a relief to know that we found a great company to take care of our dogs. It's a breeze to schedule online, and they are also great with last minute requests!

Great Service!!! Amy truly cares about each and every dog she and her walkers take care of and ensures both the owners and dogs are extremely happy. She was very responsive to our requests regarding feeding and care for our dog and responded quickly when we left messages if she was not able to pick up the phone when we called. She also really helped us when we had to go out of town last minute. Top Dog Walk is a great service I recommend to everyone.

I ended up booking with Top Dog Walk after my previous dog walking service stopped working in the Ghent area and recommended I switch to TDW. As a person who sometimes requires a last minute booking, I was apprehensive about their "two day prior" scheduling policy. However, they were always very accommodating and it was never an issue. They are a wonderful group of people who gave me much peace of mind about my unruly dogs! Plus, I love coming home to a little note about what they did that day. ❤️

I've been using Top Dog Walk for several years now whenever we're away for long weekends or vacations. They take excellent care of our large, energetic dog! The owners (Dana and Vijay) are well-organized and you can tell they really care about what they do. Prior to the first visit, they set up a meet-and-greet and send out email confirmation of your scheduled visits. They post Twitter updates and leave a "report card" at each visit, which I just love. We tried several kennels in the area before finding Top Dog Walk and our dog always seemed so sad when we dropped her off, and was stressed out afterward (she actually broke out of her cage at one place!) Needless to say, I feel so much more comfortable leaving her at home knowing that she will get long walks and lots of attention from Top Dog Walk! I highly recommend them!

I've been using Top Dog for over a year, and I can't imagine not having them around. I no longer stress about needing to rush home to let my pup out. She's always content after Top Dog has made a visit. Dealing with a tunnel to and from work I can have peace of mind, even when traffic is impossible. Their ability to be flexible, due to changing schedules makes them very convenient. A report card is left behind, in order to let you know the details of your furry child's walk. When able, they tweet a pic of the walk, which I love. Most importantly, Dana and Vijay, Top Dog owners, always make themselves available for questions/comments. All in all, its a great service-reliable, trustworthy and they leave behind a happy dog. Highly recommend!

After an initial snafu with scheduling a consultation, Dana worked diligently to regain my confidence in Top Dog Walk. My husband and I met with her to discuss our pet sitting needs over the holidays and we are incredibly glad Dana didn't give up on us as easily as we gave up on her. Her pet sitting service did an AMAZING job. Our Butkus can be a handful but, Dana and Paige were great with him. They were very patient and attentive and did a great job of sending us updates on how he was doing while we were away. We are very thankful they took the time on Christmas Day to care for our pooch and will definitely work with them in the future.

I have used Top Dog for over a year and have been thoroughly impressed with their services. Not only to I find them to be extremely professional but I am also deeply touched by their personal care when caring for my dogs. I have an elderly chocolate lab that requires some help getting up and down the stairs and other older dog aliments. Top Dog Walk has always made a point to care for my dogs just as I would and I greatly appreciate them for that.
