Dog Sitters in Princess Anne, VA

Holly Ridge Manor is an awesome daycare/boarding facility. My dogs get excited when they see our vehicle going that way. This facility has taken great care of our dogs. We have had them at other facilities but this one has far exceeded our expectations. I really like the fact that I can drive by and see my dogs in the open playing with other dogs without bothering the staff. My dogs love the staff and they are loved and cared for very well by the staff without incident. I highly recommend this facility to take care of your pets when you need them while at work or on vacation. They will give you a piece of mind of not having to worrying about them in your absence.

Holly Ridge is definitely five-star boarding. They take really good care of our rambunctious Pitbull. The grounds are beautiful and the buildings are always clean And well-maintained inside and out. You wouldn’t even know they boarded dogs there because it smells fresh and nice!! I love the way they communicate important information during the boarding. Their staff is professional and kind. I highly recommend Holly Ridge.

I had my dog in for a two day stay at Holly Ridge, and I was very pleased with their treatment. She got lots of attention and was very well cared for. I really appreciate that they let you bring bedding and toys for your dog, which other places do not allow. It makes the stay so much more comfortable for your dog. I highly recommend you use Holly Ridge for your next boarding.

We just had our 10 month old puppy Blake at Holly Ridge Manor for a four night stay and could not be happier! She had an amazing time and got to play and make lots of friends. The staff took such great care of her including administering her medication. We had one very tired and happy little puppy at pick up and we will definitely be using them again.

Our two dogs start getting excited the moment we turn in the driveway. The staff is always nice and we know they are getting great care. We have never had a problem. I would recommend Holly Ridge to anyone that needs day care or overnite.

My pup stays with Holly Ridge Manor every couple of months. She always comes back happy healthy and tired from all the play. The staff have always been friendly and compassionate to our dog. They do a great job caring for her while I’m away, and I feel secure and confident they will take great care of her each time.

Our Golden Doodles LOVE Holly Ridge! They are happy and tired pups when they come home. The staff is amazing and truly love and care for all the dogs they have. Thank you!

We’ve been taking our dogs to Holly Ridge Manor for boarding for years now, and they’re awesome! Quick to communicate, great facilities, and they’re always great with Bear and excited to see him.

Another great visit. Goobie loves coming here! I used to live in Annapolis and went to a nice boarding kennel. Although the people were nice in Annapolis the facility and conditions were not as good as Holly Ridge. After he settled in, I asked to go back and see the conditions of his kennel which Holly Ridge was more than happy to oblige at the surprise request and couldn't be more at ease and happy with the cleanliness and condition of his kennel. He was on his bed happy and so was I!

My dog Kevin stays at the hotel pretty regularly and we have never been disappointed! He is always super excited to go there and I know he is in great hands with them! Kevin can be a lot sometimes for both the staff and other dogs, but they always know how to handle him accordingly. I love that they give report cards after every time so I can see if he was able to make friends or not on that visit. Thank you to the staff of Holly Ridge for always taking great care of my crazy dog!

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!

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.

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 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 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!!

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 can't say enough good things about the Ruff House! They are AWESOME and always make sure my dog, Stella, is well taken care of. The staff is so attentive and loving, making Stella feel right at home. They even manage to give her baths, which is always a challenge at home. Although Stella misses us while we're gone, she has the best time at the Ruff House. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring boarding facility for their furry friends!

We come here for the dock diving competitions. The site has competitions with AKC North American Diving Dogs. These events are an amazing way to have fun with your furry family members, if they like the water. We have been coming here for years, the community is very supportive, and easy to join in. The are even Try It times between competition waves so you can see if your dog is interested in playing the games. It's a great community, and a relaxing and fun way to spend the weekend!

Highly recommend this place they always treat my dog (Coral) so good. She's never hesitant on going in. My husband is a 1st responder and he always takes her so she's well cared for, all the people working there know my husband and dog like we are family. I am so thankful for this place

We love this place. We have used them for boarding when we do a weekend vacation or a long vacation. Our pup always comes back happy and well groomed. She even gets excited when we drop her off. The staff is super friendly and always helpful.

$75 down the drain for dock diving orientation. Every dog got to try and jump off of the dock except for mine because she was skittish of people. I would have took her elsewhere if I knew she wasn’t going to have a turn to jump off the dock. I even had her long line on. It’s called dock diving for a reason. I could have stayed home if I wanted my dog to walk into water off of a ramp.

Great place when you need to leave your dog or cat behind. They take good care of your pets

I was looking for an obedience class for my beagle Ernesto and I was referred to Gwen Mowerey at Shipp's corner. Ernesto went for six classes and he did amazing. Gwen gave me amazing techniques to use so that he would walk better on a leash, not run to the door or jump all over is brother. We were so pleased with how the training went. Ernesto also got to socialize with the other dogs and is ready for doggie daycare! I would definitely recommend Gwen if your dog needs any type of training.

I really love this place. I've brought 2 of my dogs here for boarding and grooming with no issues. My current pup has even gone to daycare here. The staff is sweet and friendly and always willing to answer your questions. When boarded, if I call to check on my pup, they always take the time to read the notes and let me know how things are going. Drop off and pick can take some time due to the number of staff available to help, so keep that in mind!

I absolutely LOVE this place! The staff is very sweet and always willing to accommodate for my pets. The daycare staff is amazing and my dog genuinely looks like he’s having fun! I highly recommend them for anyone interested in getting their pet socialized or taken care of!

They have a sincere love of the animals they board. This is the only place in the area that my wife will board our dog when we go out of town

Do not bring your dog here. 1. Our dog has been sick with a stomach bug for 5 days now after boarding her here. 2. When our dog was picked up she reeked of urine, additionally she had a wart on her lip which we have now identified as oral papilloma. 3. They did not return our dogs food bowl, toys, or the bag we brought them in. When we called to inquire about it they said they were busy. Seems like a very disorganized organization that does not treat your pet as their own. Will certainly never bring her here again.

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.

So I can’t go into full depth about how HORRIFIC, my and my wifey’s experience just was!! But I’ll post exactly what my dog looked like after picking HIM UP FIVE HOURS LATER!! 8:15AM-2:15PM. On, Friday July 19th of 2024, time stamped and in my phone. But anhooo, we were told multiple times, that it’s from him shaking his ears, too hard and hitting his temple. From the time they took my payment, to the time they brought my dog up, which was two minutes later, apparently my dog had banged his ear so badly he looked like this! They cut BOTH of his EARS!! GOT CHARGED $160, but was told four different times over the phone that the price was $80 to 100. They don’t have a specific price, nor do they have a scale to even weigh your dog, as I was told today as well. I don’t even know the last time I did a one star review, if I ever have. Honestly, I try to judge by my experience, and I do not let any outside factors influence that, so I try to be authentic. This place let me down and so many ways that you will never know! I would stay clear if I were you…..THEY HAD MY DOG BLOODY, and I told them I have to take my dog to the vet now. So they asked me to bring him back, to clean him, so the blood went away for 30 minutes!! I was told exactly this, “please don’t go to the vet and say your groomer cut him.” The icing on the cake, is never did they want to take a dime off my bill! As I asked multiples times. Just wow… FOLLOW UP; After six days of going back-and-forth with this company, I get out of work to a voicemail. Stating that from the owner and ““manager” that they will not issue me a refund! Is it April Fools’ Day? Or are they just that desperate? Makes you think. If I were you and you care about your dog or Pet as much as I do, I WOULD STAY CLEAR!!!

We have been boarding our dog at Hunt Club for almost one year and recently had him bathed and groomed. Our experience with the Staff has been nothing short of amazing. Our dog was not properly socialized but you would not know that from the interaction with the Staff. We tried at least six other kennels and Hunt Club was the only kennel to take in our dog. Each time we have picked him up, he has been in great health, and happy. Recently, he was given a bath and groomed and we could not be happier with the results. Lindsay is an excellent groomer and I would certainly recommend her. I read the less than desirable reviews and I can say for certain and with more than 15 visits under their care, we have NEVER experienced anything less than awesome care for a member of our family.

I took my cat Blanca for a bath and brush-out. Although a sweet cat, it's been very hot, she's shedding, and a bit miserable with brushing at home. I called a mobile groomer, but couldn't afford the fee. I shared her personality with the staff and couldn't have been more pleased to hear that she had a very good experience. They were telling me how sweet she was and did good, even during the bath. She was so calm after she, her canine sister, and I rode home and afterward that I knew it was true. Thank you for giving her that great foundation! 🩷 We'll be back. (Older photo of Blanca)

Great experience. Friendly staff. They got me in last minute for a weekend stay when I called on a Thurs. They only required Distemper and Rabies shots for dogs. (Not sure if that will change in the future). The dogs are provided a bed with toys in a spacious caged portion of an air conditioned building. Each kennel has a doggie door for access to a concrete pad outside. Dogs always kept separate If you want your dog walked it will be $8 per walk at least a 10-15 min walk.

April is the best groomer we've ever had. She interacts with our two wild and crazy dogs. If you want something different she listens and will do whatever we want. Been using April for a few years now and will continue to. We love April.

I had contracted this company to board our dogs for 5 days and 4 night. I was extremely disappointed with the way I found my dogs. Their paws were wet and the smell was disgusting. They smelled like if they have been laying on urine and feces for the entire stay. My 5 hr ride home was a nightmare with the smell. When I got home my dogs needed urgent baths because of how dirty they were. I paid $850 to have my dogs poorly cared for. Do not board at this place.

I have boarded my cat here twice (once for 2 weeks and then over Christmas for a week) and my dog here once. I am very happy with the care they received. I like that there are add-on options for the dogs like an exit bath and extra walks or play time. They get very busy here but they handle customers with care and kindness. Thanks to the staff for taking great care of my furry family members!

We have been leaving our dog here for years however we left him there about a month ago and we could definitely tell things we’re not the same. Our dog is a senior dog and like I stated he has been going here since he was a puppy. We left him there in Sept 2021 for 5 days. When we picked him up he did not seem right when he got home. He was limping and looked so out of sorts. When we touched his paw he was obviously in pain and it was bloody. We took him to the vet. The vet shaved off the hair between his paw and it was extremely red and irritated. It looked as if he had been pawing on something for 5 days. We also had sent over meds for him because he has arthritis. We sent just enough for the days he would be there. Over half the pills were left in the bottle which means that he only received maybe 1 days worth of his meds. We have tried calling to speak with the manager on three occasions. Each time we were told she would call back but this never happened. Such a shame that this place has gone down hill. My dog used to love going there. We spent a lot of time when he was a puppy searching for the right place to leave him but honestly I don’t trust leaving him there anymore. This is a photo of what my dogs paw looked like after the vet shaved the area to see what was going on.

Always a pleasure to see the staff! Christopher is always happy to see them. I refuse to board my fur baby anywhere else as long as Hunt Club Kennel is around. Chris had a bath and nails clipped today so he allowed this photo. Lol. Their grooming services are top notch.

I’ve been using Hunt Club Kennel for a couple years now and they’ve been nothing but amazing for my 2 dachshunds. They are professional, friendly, and genuinely love my 2 fur balls.

Layla had a fun day being introduced to the large playgroup today. I didn’t think it could happen because she has no other dogs to play with where we live and she can be bossy at times. But we both had an amazing experience today. The staff was very courteous and knowledgeable in answering my questions and assuring me that they would keep a close eye on her . I won’t have any stress or anxiety leaving her here when I go on vacation. I highly recommend the facility in VA Beach and their staff.

My Alaskan husky has been attending daycare 5 days a week since Thanksgiving 2023. I never figured I’d be someone who trusted a daycare setting with the care of my dog but we began out of desperation and need for an immediate, safe place for her to be during the day while I worked and we’ve stayed because they’ve become family! My girl loves her time at Cosmo’s and I’ve felt 110% safe with her in their care during the days and most recently with her first boarding stay with them. Communication is EXCELLENT, care is only second to my own, and service and value are both exceptional. I love Cosmo’s but more importantly so does Jip.

Our young golden had his daycare intro today and we were slightly nervous as we didn’t know what to expect. The staff are wonderful, friendly and kind, answered all my questions and called to give us an update mid day. The facility is super nice, well taken care of and clean. We will definitely be using Cosmos again for both day care and boarding.

We boarded our 5 month old Golden Retriever here for 5 days. She came home with a bit more manners than when we dropped her off. She slept so well that evening, clearly from so much fun and play! We loved getting the daily report cards with photos!! The photos they took were such high quality, they almost looked like she had a photo shoot every day! We loved that they told us who her favorite pals were that day and also sent photos of her with her fur friends. We can’t wait to bring our Summer back for more fun! Thank you all so much for such an amazing experience!! ❤️

Cosmo's Corner has amazing attention to detail and I always feel good about having my dogs here. I love the report cards that get sent especially knowing who our dogs have made friends with whether it be canine or human! They take great photos and our dogs look so happy every time. We know our dogs had a great time while we were away on vacation and that gave us peace of mind. Everyone in our family uses Cosmo's Corner and will continue to recommend this amazing place to everyone.

We love Cosmo’s! The staff are absolutely wonderful. They are very attentive and call you with any questions, concerns or updates. We are never worried about leaving our pup with them! The crafts, pictures, and parties they do with the dogs are also super cute and fun! Highly recommend :)

My dog has severe anxiety problems. The staff is caring and supportive of his problems. He’s exausted from playing. Book more appointments. Highly recommend Cosmo’s Cornor

We’re so happy with our experience! When my dogs have boarded elsewhere, they have come home seeming a little anxious and with upset stomachs. Not the case here! They came home in great spirits. They stayed clean and well cared for. And I love that there are little extras you can add on. Helps me with my guilt for not being able to take them with the human family for the holidays!

Cosmo's is great for both of our dogs! Our rescue gets private care since she isn't great around other dogs, but our little corgi loves playing in group with the other little breeds! We requested report cards for both of them, which came with photos and full paragraphs about their day. The folks at Cosmo's clearly love what they do, and we are so happy that we get to leave our doggos in such good hands. :)

I have been using Cosmo's for about a year now and highly recommend them! My dog is 11 and has been to many boarding places over the years, but this by far his (and my) favorite!! Groomers and staff are beyond amazing. I love referring people here.

I have had cats for over 20 years and have had a number of care providers. Stephanie and Nikki surpass them all! They are very responsive to communication and they stay in touch daily while I'm out of town. They take care of every detail. Above all, they have proven to be reliable. I've had sitters not show up at all, so I can't say how grateful I am to have found these wonderful women. Highly, HIGHLY recommend their services!!

I have been using Paws & Claws for the past year and I couldn't be happier! I usually have Nikki and Stephanie come by 3 times a day when we are out of town for our dog. My dog is a bit skiddish and very defensive at first. But she has really taken to them and enjoys their company! Every walk is documented and an email after each walk summarizing the trip and day is always great when your'e away from your pet. I never worry. That's the best thing! I would highly recommend them!

Stephanie and Nikki are wonderful. They are always timely and responsive, and have been very flexible when I wanted to increase my cat’s visits while I was away. The report cards I get while I’m away are very detailed and make me feel comforted knowing my cat is being cared for by a trusting sitter. Definitely recommend!

We started using Paws and Claws about a year and a half ago, and LOVE them so much! Stephanie is the absolute best pet carer we have ever had and goes well over above and beyond just taking care of our rabbits! She always felt comfortable giving our little Moonshine her medication at every visit (which is usually a new thing for most pet carers we have experienced) and both of our bunnies always seem happy whenever we come back!

Stephanie is an incredibly trustworthy and responsible pet sitter. She has cared for our many cats on a couple of separate occasions. She administered meds, kept the boxes clean and the kitties well cared for. She gave us an report/update each visit complete with pictures. I just did not have to worry at all with our cats in her care. I give the highest of recommendations. She is awesome.

Sara and Stephanie are hands down the best. I was so nervous having unknown people walk my dogs at first, but after meeting with them I instantly felt better and they are so professional and knowledgeable. I have a slightly reactive dog and they did wonderful with her and gave her a chance. I could not recommend enough. Plus they send report cards on how they did with plenty of photos!

I am extremely satisfied with Paws and Claws. Their service is like no other. They love our Pups as if they were theirs. We love seeing the updates of how our pups are doing with each visit. Signed and Extra Satisfied Client!!!!

I have had such a great experience using them for my pup. She is very reliable and super flexible when it comes to caring for my pup. She was able to change my schedule with little warning when I needed extra help when my dog was sick and even took her to the vet for me! My dog loves them and she always sends cute photos to brighten up my day at work! Couldn’t Recommend enough! I tell all my friends who need sitters if their services!

Stephanie and Sara are the best! They take great care walking my dogs and caring for them when I am out of town ( and my parrot as well!). They are very accommodating and have helped me out last minute when I had an emergency. Highly recommend them to care for your babies!

Stephanie has been a wonderful pet sitter for us she will do you right! My pups love her and she has never let me down! She communicates and makes sure you know daily what your rascals are up to! If you need a sitter she is a very good one!
