This is the second time Angela has sat for us and the poodles just love her. The house was very taken care of the the boys were super happy to see her. They got lots of love and attention and of course walks. She tented to Dave's precious seedlings that are getting ready to be planted without one dying, see you in June :-)
Cathy was extremely hospitable and made our stay amazing. Super communicative, was there to answer any questions we had. And the dogs were so cute, each had their own personality. I would 100% sit for her again. I had a wonderful time
Wendy & Clive welcomed us into their home with open arms. They were very kind and generous and left us with clear instructions for the dogs and the home. Nelson and Barney are two of the most gentle, well-behaved dogs we have had the pleasure to look after. Due to the heat wave we couldn't take them on very long walks, but we know we would have enjoyed that very much. They are both super happy with attention, but also very easy going and don't mind being alone for a few hours. Long Melford is a cute town with lots of sights around and very nice walks. The house is comfortable and cozy. We would definitely love to return and highly recommend!
I loved doing this petsit! Adrienne has a lovely home that feels like a resort and the cats are easy to look after. Chloe is sweet and affectionate while Clark is more demanding in a very cute way. Adrienne was hospitable, generous and easy to communicate with.
Really felt at home at Jo's house. The dogs are so well behaved and love to cuddle up on the sofa at the end of the day. You can walk straight out of the house to lovely walks and the dogs show the way.
We really enjoyed our stay at Sophie's lovely country house which is surrounded by fields and great walks. We looked after the dogs and the cat and watered the greenhouses as required. Unfortunately, we did not meet Sophie or the family as they had left before we arrived (our ferry was delayed) but we kept regular contact with each other whilst they were on holiday. Although the weather was not good we had a great stay. The house facilities are very good and we had a lovely bedroom. The stunning farmhouse kitchen was where we spent most of our time and the gardens are very large - perfect to play with the dogs and enjoy the country life. Thank you for having us Sophie :-)
We highly recommend this sit. We loved being with Beau, he is a very sweet and affectionate dog and always likes to be by your side. Freiburg is a very youthful city with a sociable atmosphere. You can find beautiful trekking routes. We didn't get the chance to meet Erin in person but we were chatting and everything worked very well.

Champs Pet Services is wonderful. Liz is a kind caring dog loving person. She is generous and thoughtful. She goes the extra mile to make sure your dog is safe and well taken care! We trust Liz to stay in our home and know that our dog is loved while we are away!!
We LOVE having Liz watch our pup Peaches! She has been a life saver for us and we are so grateful to have her take Peaches out for walks every week day while we’re at work. She provides great service and we know our dog is in good hands. We really appreciate the updates she sends and she always manages to get the cutest pics each visit! Her recent hire Samantha has also been great and helps enforce good behaviors and even teaches her new commands since she has a dog training background! You won’t regret using Champ’s Pet Services! 🦮🐾
We are beyond happy with Liz's "Champ Pet Services". She is reliable, kind, and great with our dog. Our dog excitedly looks forward to her visit- looking for her by the window each time prior to her arrival. Liz has been such an important help for our family over the past several years. We are very grateful for her help!
Kristen and Liz were great, our two cats can be difficult but were comfortable with both ladies from the start which says a lot. They were thorough and attentive during each visit and took the time to interact with the cats, and the daily updates really gave us peace of mind.
Finding adult insured dependable on time pet care can be hard. Champs excels in all areas. Adaptable to changing schedules, reliable to know your pet is in good care and on going communication with you to know your pet is safe. If these are the things your looking for in Pet Care then Liz is the service to use. Trustworthy service you can count on for both daily visits and even over night care. My dog just loves her visits. 5 Star service with competitive costing.
Champ's Pet Services is top notch ! Liz really cares about your beloved pet and takes excellent care of them . She also sends you pics of the fun times while you are away which is very reassuring that they are in good hands . Wonderful ! Highly recommend ! :-)
With this being the first time I let someone I didn’t know look after my pup, Elizabeth did absolutely amazing and I cannot thank her enough! She would send pictures throughout the week (which I loved and appreciated) and update me on how my dog was doing, which based on the pictures, showed me how much love, care, and consideration she puts in for the animals she looks after. Prices were very reasonable and I would highly recommend her if you ever need someone to look after your pet :)
Liz takes care of our dog and cats. She is so easy to deal with and I trust her. She has to medicate one of our cats and does so with ease I would recommend her to anyone
Liz is so trustworthy and dependable! Our ..."active" 1-year-old Lab adores her and sooo looks forward to their time together (as do we all😉) Bonus: she gets the best pics, too!! …
I can't say enough about Liz with Champ's Pet Services. I am so grateful for the love and care she gives to my Piper. She walks her every day. She has never once cancelled a walk. She has walked her in the rain and snow and even gives her some love and attention after her walk. She has pet sit for me also while I traveled and I trust her as if she were family. When it comes to Piper, she deserves the best and I am confident that while I'm at work she gets her daily dose of love from Liz.
I can't rave enough about Tiki's Playhouse! I've had 2 generations of dogs go to Tiki's and they love it. And with a full-time job, it's a saving grace for me and gives my best pal something to do everyday! 🫶 🐶 Much Love, Brian, Newton (and Merlin RIP)
Tiki’s playhouse is amazing! I’ve been bringing my dog here since he was a puppy and he absolutely LOVES it. The place is definitely deceiving as it’s a small home, but don’t let that fool you. There’s tons of fun and love for all animals. The owner Kelvin is great and very accommodating. Five stars!
Our dog has extreme separation anxiety....but when we leave her with Dana and Kelvin for daycare, she doesn't miss us at all. We know we're leaving her in very loving hands! She always has a great time and sleeps quite well that night!
My dog loves Tiki’s. Kelvin always finds good staff that care about the dogs. The group of dogs that they screen are there all play really well together.
Our Vizsla loves how much room there is to run in Tiki’s outdoor yards. The manager (Jamie in the picture) and owner are super friendly! When you stop by, make sure to grab a drink in their coffee shop when you stop by. My favorite is the Vanilla Latte!
I love Tiki’s Playhouse! I am happy that my little puppy gets an outside space with grass and he loves all his friends there ( humans and dogs!)
We have been taking our whippet for daycare to Tiki's for about a year and could not be happier! Kelvin, Jamie and the entire staff is super dog loving and make the process simple and low key. Our beloved guy is always happy to get the playtime with his friends during his visits. We also recently had a great experience boarding him for a few days when we had to fly. The lattes next door are also top notch, highly recommended all around!
We have been taking our golden retriever to Tiki's for 3 years now, since he was a puppy. We looked at several day care places until we found one where we knew our dog would get love, exercise, and socialization in a safe and caring environment. We did not want to drop him off somewhere where he would be crated and ignored all day. We are so happy with Tiki's and we know he is too - we can tell by the way he drags us in the door. We feel comfortable boarding him there too - we initially had someone come to the house and stay with him whenever we went on vacation, but we started taking him to board there once we saw how happy he was at daycare. There are closer daycare places to us, but we driver further to Tiki's because is it such quality care. And we can tell the staff and the owner really love the dogs and take good of them. I recommend this place without any reservations or qualms (and I am really picky).
Tiki's is the best! Everyone is kind, professional, and GREAT with all the dogs! The staff interacts with the dogs all day and they come home happy and tired. I also love that they are outside often, running and playing on real grass. It is wonderful to know my dog is in great hands whether he is just there to play for the day, or if I am away for a few days. Tiki's really is a home away from home for all the dogs :)
When we got our dogs, we knew we would need to have them walked or put them in daycare so they could get enough exercise. Tiki's was local to us so we tried them out. Fast forward 5 years and our now adult dogs still go to daycare at Tiki's. They absolutely love going, so much so that when we went on vacation last year, we boarded our dogs at Tiki's instead of having family stay with them (a first for us!). I can't say enough about the care my dogs get when they're at Tiki's and I recommend them to everyone I know!
Normally my dog is attached to my hip 24/7 because he's a service dog. However I give him his vacation time and spa days with Shady Spring to make sure he gets time to just be a dog and not worry about working (he does love his job though). A mile up the road he begins his happy dance in the back seat because he knows where he is. It's his decompression place. I'm always glad to hear that he's doing well because not everywhere is equipped for the energy of a +100lb GSD who wants to follow Dad out the other door. We've only ever had to make use of another kennel in the region, and they are a distant second in case of emergencies. We adore the team at Shady Spring and always feel well cared for by them.
My pup can be challenging - she hates change, and expresses her displeasure verbally, which you can see in the photo - but Shady Spring handles that and more. I sign my pup up for additional exercise and the chance to be an outdoor dog for a while through their Outback Package. The front desk staff have always been friendly - both in-person and over the phone - and willing to work with me on scheduling.
So we stopped here after Aspen Leaf (Giant Schnauzers) to get info on boarding our 3 small dogs. Rainy day; Office seemed closed few minutes before 6pm regular hours and front business parking was now empty. Got no info. We let our dogs out where there was a dog station (bags/trash bin provided) and it took us a bit to dry them off and get the wet grass clippings out of their fur. Some huffy lady pulled up next to our vehicle acting indignant as to why we were there. Even after telling her our intentions, she was rude and repeatedly said it was private property. We told her we were ready to leave. She was not the owner (I inquired.) Needless to say, between her tart personality and the stressed barking we heard from the metal/cement kennels out back, we’d never entrust our dogs to shady care at Shady Spring “Pet Resort." That’s the picture of the unprofessional staff lady who was rude to us, sitting in her maroon SUV.
We unfortunately had a very negative experience at Shady Springs. We don’t have a car so we had to pay $120 round trip for our dog to be picked up from our apartment and dropped back off. We were traveling and not due to land back in DC until late afternoon. I expressed this to them, and they told me they could drop him off between 5p and 7p. Well, around noon on the day we were traveling I called them to ask when exactly he’d be dropped off. They told me he had been sitting at our vets office for hours already—no notification he’d be dropped off 7 hours before we expected, nothing. To make matters worse, he also had on no collar because they make you take it off your dog when you drop him off. We were still halfway across the country, making this a very stressful situation. When I called to ask why they would do this, they told me they would “never” have said he could be dropped off that late. They offered no help or recourse, and basically said it was my problem my dog was sitting alone in a vets office while we were still many hours away. Luckily we have friends who could go get him—not sure what we would have done otherwise. Also, the base fee simply gets your dog put in an “enclosure” (cage) and fed. Any other human interaction, including walks, or time outside will cost you extra. I’ve sat on this for a few months, because I really hate leaving bad reviews. But after sharing our experience with other dog owners I’ve decided I should write this. Don’t board your dog here.
I have boarded my dogs here multiple times over the last 2 years or so and have been very happy with the service. The groomer does a great job with them, especially my shep/husky mix. The dogs are excited to see the staff each time they board. The staff know each of my dogs and their personalities and seem to be really good with them. **Not always an easy ask because some of my dogs are absolute maniacs.** My guys are worn out for 24 hours after I bring them home, bonus for me. There is no charge for them to feed my guys their usual food. Additional things I prefer for my dogs: the ability to house my "shy" one with a buddy and that they don't interact with other dogs (no group play). They do offer individual activity add-ons for pets to increase enrichment and comfort while the dogs are there. I have not boarded a cat or pocket pet/exotic pet but they have both available. Worth the drive from DC for my guys. I see a pet shuttle listed for people in the DC area but I have never used it.
UPDATE 3/23: Approximately 10 months after our first visit I boarded my dog again for a similar period. This time though I have some concerns about the quality of care and handling my dog received. Before my dog was delivered home, a staff member called to let me know that her nose had been rubbed raw from kennel anxiety but they had treated it. Although she is kennel trained and this is out of character for her I said ok and waited for her to be delivered. When my dog arrived her nose was not rubbed raw, all of the skin was ripped off like her face was dragged across concrete. Her paw pads were in similar shape and this required a vet visit which cost me hundreds of dollars. My dog is large and vigorous but she is not aggressive so I don’t understand why she would be handled so roughly as to receive several injuries. I don’t understand the need to try to downplay how hurt she was and lie about treating her wounds. This is a living creature they were paid to care for and my faith in their quality of care is nonexistent after this. Do not bring your dogs here. OLD REVIEW 2022: My dog Patty was boarded here for one week while I drove across the country. In spite of being a little timid and having a weak appetite, she is very much in good health and spirits. They even delivered to my home in DC for a reasonable price. I plan to use this establishment again in the future.
I have nothing but praise for this facility, their staff and extra-ordinary care. We had to board our 16 year old cat Javi, who requires wet food twice a day and monitoring and no one else was available. A different local facility told us he was too old for them to accept it even if we could have vet vouch for his health. Shady Spring was kind, welcoming and did a great job with our old grumpy but sweet boy. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.
Just move from SETX to Washington D.C and found this place to bring my service dog in training to get a fresh start since his emergency adoption on 03/11/2022. I can't wait for him to join the place next week. Very nice facility with polite staff members.
We have been customers of Shady Spring many times before. They have always treated our dogs very well. Thus, I wish I could leave 2 reviews. First, the trainers are awesome and our dog was treated great. However, make sure you get all the costs in writing up front, otherwise you will have a nasty surprise. Their fees are far from reality. Also, be cautious with the manager - Not a nice person - Very Combative. Again, just verify in advance in writing and you will have a good experience.
My husband and I boarded our 4 guinea pigs here for a little over a week. The staff took such good care of them, and truly went above and beyond what we could have expected. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a small animal boarding.
Ursula is a fantastic pet sitter! Whenever I have to leave town she's always happy to watch my cat and take care of her. My cat absolutely loves her and I fully trust her to take good care of her. She texts pictures daily when she stops by and always communicates clearly about medications or anything else that needs to be taken care of. Over all I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter to take care of my cat while I'm away. I highly recommend Ursula!
There are not many people I would trust to stay in my home and take care of my dog while I'm away - but Ursula is certainly one of them! My dog absolutely loves Ursula, and it's a relief to know she is in capable hands, even with her medical issues. I highly recommend Ursula for personalized, reliable pet care.
Ursula has been such a lifesaver for us! She comes many days during the week to let our dog out and to play fetch. He’s always happy to see her and she does an amazing job both watching over the dogs as well as clear communication. We’re picky with who gets to take care of our dog and I wouldn’t have it be anyone else. Thanks, Ursula! Highly recommend for anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet! Roady is always smiling when you’re there!
Ursula is amazing! Our 6 month old large breed puppy loves her and she always keeps us informed after each visit with pictures and updates. Our neighbor even commented on how much she clearly loves our pup. We are lucky to have found someone so attentive and helpful.
Ursula is great! She is very kind to our cat and always sends updates and photos so we don’t worry when traveling. We were delayed on our last trip and she saved us by continuing to care for the cat until we managed to get back. Also, the cat seems to love her and is always in a good mood when we return. Highly recommend this compassionate and reliable sitter.
I highly recommend Dtails Pet Service. Ursula is fantastic with my dog, and Lucy absolutely loves her. I feel 100% confident having Ursula stay at our house while we are away, and she’s great at sending photos and updates. This means I don’t have to worry at all and can enjoy our time away!
Ursula was great! This was our 1st time using her and a dog sitting service in general while we were away for a few days. I just wasn’t comfortable using a dog kennel for my pup. Ursula was was great from the get-go….from the initial meet all the way up to when we got back. She took great care of our puppy and you can clearly tell she loves dogs. I will use her again in a heartbeat. Great communication while we were away & affordable as well. You really can’t go wrong.
We are very happy with Dtails Pet Service. Ursula takes great care of our kitties. She keeps us updated with texts and pictures, which puts us at ease that our cats are doing well while we're away. I would highly recommend this service!
I cannot say enough positive things about Ursula. We have used other dog walking companies, but she is the best. She is warm and genuinely excited to see our dog every day. We can also tell that he really likes her too! She walks him for the full time we requested and ensures he has treats and fresh water before she leaves. Her prices are also more reasonable than others which was a plus! We get a quick text update when she is done for the day and she uses venmo for super easy billing. She is dependable and flexible with our schedules. We love her and would recommend her to anyone in the area.
I've been using D'Tails Pet Service for dog walking/potty breaks for about a year, and am very happy I found them! When I first rescued my dog, she was very skittish and intimidated most people, but not Ursula! My dog warmed up to Ursula quickly and is always happy to see her. Ursula is extremely reliable and very flexible; she's patient with schedule changes, has added visits with little notice, and is fair with her pricing. Best of all, she seems to genuinely like my dog and the feeling is clearly mutual!
Ashley is really the best. Super responsible, so patient with the pups. I absolutely trust her and our dog Wyatt loves her. She is the best. She has my highest recommendation. Thank you, Ashley!!
Amazing dog walking and pet sitting services!! Ashley responds very quickly to new services and change requests, and I always have peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands! Very reliable and friendly service!
We have been using Ready, Pet, Go for years as Ashley has become the person we trust most with our cats. She’s reliable, responsive, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. She provides frequent updates while I’m away so we could rest assured they are well taken care of.
Ashley is fantastic with my pets! I always feel like they're in great hands when I'm away. I get full updates on how my pets have been, including pictures, for every visit. Ashley took the time to meet the pets and had no issues taking care of (and administering medication to) the various creatures (cats, rabbits, fish) living with me. I appreciate the convenience of booking online, and the system used is very intuitive. I'm so grateful to have found her and look forward to continue using Ready Pet Go whenever I need!
Ashley of Ready Pet Go has been excellent--sooooo reliable, quick to respond to last-minute requests, always on time...I couldn't ask for more! Thank you, Ashley!
We have been going to Patty at Wow! The Bow Wow for over a year now for pet sitting services. She is one of the few people that we trust 100% to take care of our animals. The dogs really enjoy their overnight visits there and will run up to her door every time I drop them off. They are always well taken care of and we will continue to utilize her services in the future.
We have been using Wow! the Bowwow for almost 2 years and been very satisfied. When we rescued our boxer/shepherd mix we realized that we needed provide her with a crate break and walk on days that we can't make it home. She has been great with our dog and and is trusted, dependable and highly recommended to others. We also board our pup with her when on vacation.
I was worried how my pup would do.....she has little experience staying away from home....I love the entire property is fenced with a electric gate.... Our pup did great... I felt secure after leaving our pup here
Cathy did a wonderful job taking care of our Standard Goldendoodle while we were out of town for two weeks, the property is large and fenced in, and she was responsive the two times that I checked in. I look forward to using her services in the future. Highly Recommend.
I normally don’t leave reviews, but have had such a wonderful experience with Katherine over the years that I wanted to do so. I am a veterinarian have seen many types of boarding facilities, kennels, and met a variety of people running various pet sitting services. I’ve known Katherine since 2019, ever since I decided to let my then 1 year old Labrador stay with her. As most pet parents, I too, was quite nervous and wondered how she would do and whether she would be happy/experience minimal stress/be looked after safely while I was away. I am so glad I decided to give Katherine a try — she is truly a gem and her property of several acres with various padlocked fields is a doggy oasis (I also have grass envy whenever I drop off/pick up my four legged child). Katherine was very welcoming, and made me feel at ease and showed me where Z would be sleeping, and took care to ask how Z would do in a Kennel, what her feeding routine would be, what if any supplements were required, etc. I especially appreciated that Katherine started this business because she, too, struggled with feeling at ease when traveling and having someone else look after her several beautiful Irish wolfhound giants. Katherine’s main goal is for the owner to not worry while they are traveling, and she will periodically post pictures or videos — they mostly consist of the dogs having the time of their life whether it be rain, sunshine, or snow. Every time I have picked Z up, she has been a tried, yet happy dog. I detect no signs of stress or that she had a negative time at all, and that is worth more than its weight in gold. Thank you, Katherine for always looking after my four legged child so well!
Our 3 yr old dog has been coming here since she was 6 months old. The fields are so wide open; it's great to have a place where she can really run, and she is happy to come here. It's like dog camp.
Our dog loves staying here, it's like dog camp he is wiped out after a stay. I know he is well taken care of.
My pup was obviously confused & nervous as I was getting in the car to leave for a trip. When I got back (a few days) she didn't want to leave.
Michelle is the best! She has taken care of our kitty several times when we travel. She always sends us a beautiful photo of our cat. Michelle really takes care of all our cat's needs. Even for long periods of time, like a full week or more, Michelle never missed a day. We definitely recommend her.
Michelle has provided dog sitting and walking on numerous occasions for me over the past two years. She is reliable, trustworthy and takes a good interest in my dogs. If there is a problem, she immediately notifies me. She is very responsive if I need to contact her for any reason. Her rates are good and she provides updates of each and every visit including pictures of my happy pups! I feel entirely comfortable going away and leaving my dogs in her care. I would recommend her to anyone who wants good, loving care of their animals.
We used Michell for the first time this week and will definitely be calling her again. I felt very comfortable having her take care of our two cats while we were away. She is very professional, takes her responsibilities seriously and truly loves animals. Thank you Michelle!
Michelle clearly loves our dog!! She's taken care of our dog for several years when we couldn't take her with us. She's always compassionate, flexible, thorough, loving and completely trustworthy. She even took our dog to the vet when needed, has administered medication and given her all the love and attention we could ask for. She communicates with us regularly with updates for every visit, and to ask questions when needed. I can't rate her highly enough! or thank her enough for the piece of mind, knowing our beloved dog is so well cared-for.
Michelle is the best for all your pet walking and sitting needs! Shes compassionate and loving. She cared for my 5 frenchies for a week. They never missed a treat or were lonely. Youve got to use her!
