Archie and Lily are such sweet dogs. It was a pleasure to walk them around the neighborhood in Oakland. Housesitting fur Amy and David was wonderful.
We can't begin to express how grateful we are to have been fortunate enough to care for Zuko and Hero while Neha and Ani were away! The babies were so adorable and no fuss whatsoever! We loved watching them play and sleep, and Hero especially stole our hearts with all of her cute, picturesque posing while hiding in the bookshelves and laying on the couch. We would gladly agree to pet-sit them again anytime and are looking forward to any future opportunities to do so. Our hosts, Neha and Ani, were incredibly accommodating! They left the apartment immaculately tidy for us which has set the bar high for our future stays. When they returned, they invited us out to dinner and we got to spend an incredibly meaningful afternoon getting to know them better, which we will always appreciate. Their apartment is located in a convenient area of Oakland and we really enjoyed being within walking distance of so many cool and interesting locations. They also happen to have the best reading selection and an impeccable taste for interior design, which we unapologetically enjoyed throughout our stay. We hope to see them again soon and highly recommend their services as hosts to anyone who enjoys the company of such sincerely warm and cordial people.
Bruno is a lovely dog, well trained and friendly, and the home in Grittleton is absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't have been more welcome, and would love to sit again
Scarlett and I had the most wonderful time with Olive and Lula, they are the most adorable, loving dogs with lots of personality. Charlotte was a great host, there was clear communication, a comprehensive welcome pack and the house was immaculately clean for us to stay. Their house is gorgeous with the most stunning views of their garden, we enjoyed sitting in their garden with the sunshine and tending to the chickens. It's also a beautiful place for walks at Devils Punchbowl - National Trust Reserve. We would absolutely love to go back, hopefully for longer next time! Thanks Charlotte and Jason, we really enjoyed our stay.. x
We had such a fabulous time sitting for Clare and her family. They have a lovely home in the most fabulous location. There are so many places to explore locally and you can be straight out of the door walking in the New Forest. Myrtle has the most beautiful nature and loves attention and Mabel is just gorgeous as well... a bundle of energy and will keep you entertained for hours. They were both brilliant companions for long walks and games in the garden and gave the loveliest cuddles. We were really sad to leave them! The sheep are the friendliest we've ever met and are very amusing. It was also really nice collecting fresh eggs from the chickens every day. Clare showed us the ropes before departing on holiday and made us feel very welcome from the start. We had an amazing week and would house-sit for them again anytime. x
My oh My....I would never of wanted to leave a review like this,but since Julia decided she'd leave me one. I guess I should offer the same. I drove all the way to their home on Christmas Eve to meet the dogs the day before the family would leave on their trip. Upon entering the home- I was immediately greater with the stench of dog. The amount of dander and hair in the home was pertinent. I didn't go far aside to the kitchen island. Said hello to the dogs and that was it. I knew upon arrival and seeing the condition of their home (LOOKS NOTHING like the photos they have Posted!!) That My daughter & I should NOT do this sit. We would Not be comfortable in these living conditions... but after hearing about the excitement of the children going away, I thought we'd give it an ole college try! My first issue was, I was not given a key! They don't lock their door...? I expressed not feeling safe because I have a special needs child. They assured me of safety, especially with the dogs and living higher on the hill. We can to our sit the day after Christmas. Dogs had not been bathed. The beautiful jacuzzi bath tub is nothing but a HUGE liter box, filled with poop & a trash can with more poop. Cat litter was everywhere! Needless to say I spent an entire 3 hours, cleaning!! That's what the back & forth texts were about. They had hardly any cleaning supplies,no sponges!! The amount of dog hair and dust was unreal. I had to clean out the trap on the robo vacuum. I had to move the couches that by the way are all ripped up and beat up by the dogs scratching. As well as the walls everywhere! The poor bearded dragon is poorly taken care of. He has no lighting, No calcium and is showing signs of MBD. You would think with an engineering & teaching back ground they'd learn how to properly take care of a Exotic pet! Then again by the condition of their home- it did not suprize me. The duties kept piling up. We'd walk the dogs 20 minutes at least 3/4x's a day. (In not sure why they thought that was short? ) They still came home to POOP & PEE all over the balcony. Which upon arrival I was left with said dog poop. By day 2 I was exhausted! This is not a paid position & they kept texting me of things I needed to do just to get warm water to bathe. Which they also have a bathroom leak that kept pouring out the lid. I sent Michael a video but he said he already knew about it...hmmm! We were given the top half the house so I never went downstairs, until I was asked to do the laundry for the new sitter. Upon walking down the stairs. My heart literally STOPPED for a second. Dirty or filthy is an understatement!! I've got photos for proof!! I put our sheets in the washer and packed and cleaned more to head out. My daughter had therapy at 1230 in San Marcos but they had asked me to return back at noon to meet the new sitter. I told them I could not make that time... but would gladly talk through what all I was told to keep doing as well as the duties that were added to my list. Just a side note. I personally spent money and brought their bearded dragon healthy food and dubias which are vital in their lives. If Thor doesn't get proper lighting, UV bulbs for his bones and is given calcium his MBD will further deteriorate his bones and he will eventually parish. Just like Lily is in a Great deal of pain. She can barely walk as you can clearly see her hips/legs hurt her. I just couldn't bare to watch anymore. I wish nothing but the best for these fur babies! Best to whomever decides to take on this JOB. Please remember, the photos are Very deceiving!!! 😔

Online reservation was easy. The property was great outside, cute and clean inside, and we got courteous reception. Rusty stayed for the day and seemed to enjoy his time. Thanks for taking good care of him! 😊 …
My experience has always been extreme positive. I bring my pup, Luke, here regularly for daycare and boarding and he just loves it. The staff is friendly and they treat your pet as one of their own. He is always happy when I pick him up and is excited when he knows we are going there to play with the other pups. The facility is extremely clean and the managers have always reached out immediately if I have had a question. I trust them implicitly with my Luke and highly recommend them!
I have a nervous Rat Terrier who also has separation anxiety. The first day that we tried daycare, she wouldn’t eat. The staff was so good to her, a couple of them actually took their breaks and sat in the room with her to give her some extra attention, and she ate her dinner! I really appreciate how nice they were and how happy Alice was when I picked her up. Such nice staff!
Very pet and people friendly staff and atmosphere there. As usual, they exceeded our expectations and our dog was very happy too. Thank you for helping make our time away from our boy much less stressful.
If you value the things you buy your dog. Don’t bring them here. I checked my dog in with his bed, food, treats, meds, and 1 toy. When I came to pick my dog up I was informed that they “lost” my dogs bed. What do you mean? And how long was my dog without his bed. I was told that they wash the beds and it was misplaced. Then I was told that they sent the bed home with another dog. How do you do that? I’m surprised his toy came back. What’s so crazy about this scenario is, my dog was having separation anxiety that was making him sick. They could text me every single day to tell me what’s going on with him and offering ways to help. But you all do not tell me that my dog has been without his bed for how many days?? And you sent it home with another dog???? Absolutely unacceptable service. Again how do you send my dogs bed home with a different dog? We pay for these things for our pets, we take pictures of our pets items and upload them to the website. Just for the staff to give our things away to other people.
I recently entrusted my beloved pets, Oreo and Coco, to the wonderful staff at Pet Suites Newport News, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warmth and professionalism, making both me and my furry friends feel at ease. Throughout their stay, Oreo and Coco received exceptional care. The staff took the time to understand their individual personalities and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and happy. I loved receiving regular updates and photos, which showed how well they were being treated and having fun. The facilities are clean, spacious, and designed for pet comfort, with plenty of playtime and socialization opportunities. It’s clear that the team is passionate about animals, and their dedication truly shines through. Thank you, Pet Suites Newport News, for providing such a loving and safe environment for Oreo and Coco. I highly recommend your services to any pet owner looking for peace of mind while away from home!
PetSuites took great care of our 8 year old Shepherd mix. Our boy was very nervous, but by day 2 felt more relaxed. Logan was very well cared for, happy, and super clean from the bath he received. 100% recommend!
Do not take your pets to this place. I started doing daycare here for my older dog Ella during a difficult time when I was transitioning between jobs and couldn’t stay home with my girl. The first red flag should have been when they told me they wouldn’t accept my dog at daycare when she turned 10, and that she was too old to do anything other than sit in a kennel all day. Ella is a vibrant 9yr old dog, and no other daycare I have used has turned her away from the playground. The second is it’s all indoor facilities, so pups either pee on concrete or astroturf or not at all. Ella was trained to pee outside on grass. The fact that whenever she was picked up she immediately peed like a racehorse convinced me she never got bathroom breaks inside. Third and most egregious is the fact that they don’t care about your animals. They lost Ella one day. I came to pick her up and no one could tell me where she was. Sure she was inside the facility but for 20 very hard minutes for me they didn’t know where she was. They were barely apologetic for this nor for the fact that when found she came out limping. No one could tell me why she was limping or cowering through doors. I can’t rule out abuse. Their staff is perpetually short which I’m sure is hard for them but it’s no excuse for bad behavior towards pets or owners. Never take your pet here. They will come out scared. You will be anxious for your pets well-being.
We have used their boarding services several times. Our dog is generally nervous when going to boarding or the vet, but she is always at ease when we drop her off there and seems happy when we pick her back up. Their prices are a bit high, but you get what you pay for. They can be hard to get on the phone the majority of the time, so communicating through the app is the easiest way to contact them for scheduling a visit or to speak with them about your pet.
My puppy is excited to come to PetSuites. The staff takes really good care of him! They know Harold by name. Molly, the trainer, is the best. Harold attended summer camp and got all of his badges. I also like that they post the pets on FaceBook. My family is tagged in any post that Harold appears in. Love PetSuites!!
Lynn took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She stopped twice a day and made sure everything was ok with the cats and our home ! Lynn's great and I highly recommend calling her if you need help with your pets. She truly loves animals and we'll be booking her every time we're away.
LYNN is amazing!! We got multiple pictures throughout the day showing our pets doing activities or just hanging out. When we got home our pets were happy and not stressed at all!! Would definitely recommend Lynn!
Lynn & my walker Amy were FANTASTIC thru this entire process. It was nerve wracking to leave our pets for the FIRST time. But Amy sent daily progress pics and really went above and beyond to make sure our 2 dogs were loving AND living their best life in our absence! We will NEVER go with anyone else!!! See y'all in the Fall!!!🤣😍😘 …
Lynn has taken care of my two cats several times over the last year. I have found her to be very caring towards our pets. She is always professional but her love for animals always shows through. She always asks questions regarding their care. She is reliable and trustworthy. I feel 100% comfortable having Lynn in our home. I would highly recommend her services. She will love and care for your pets!!
We had to leave our two cats for 4 days shortly after moving to the area. Both cats need medication twice a day so we were worried about finding the right person to care for them. Lynn was recommended to us by the manager of our apartment complex. She met with us beforehand and put us completely at ease with leaving them in her care. Not only did she take care of all their needs, but she spent time with them and made sure they were happy. She also sent us pictures at every visit so we knew they were well and could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend Lynn and will definitely ask her to care for our cats again!
Lynn is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our dog while we were away during the holidays. I felt great knowing our dog was in good care. She sent updates and we had great communication!
I often traveled for work and had a lot of anxiety leaving Bree for extended periods; however, Lynn has alleviated my concerns. I appreciate Lynn's' services; besides seeing to her basic needs (food/litter box), she also takes the time to play, groom, and sit with Bree in my absence. Lynn's gentle and calm demeanor won Bree over quickly. Typically, Bree is anxious and hides around new people/circumstances. However, that is not the case with Lynn; Bree quickly greets Lynn and gratefully accepts the attention.
I cannot speak of Lynn more highly. We have used Lynn several times now for house sitting and multiple drop ins for our two dogs. Each visit is dealt with great professionalism by Lynn as she treats our home with respect and treats our pups as her own. Both dogs adore her! She sends plenty of photos in which we can clearly see how truly happy the dogs are in her care. I am thankful to have found such a wonderful sitter for our dogs who we can trust while we are away. 10/10 would highly recommend!
We love One Love Pet Care! Lynn has been caring for our cats for three years and we couldn’t dream of a better cat sitter! She takes the time to play with the cats and is above and beyond professional, friendly, and caring.
Lynn is amazing! She takes such great care of our cats. She sends so many pictures and is extremely attentive and communicative. I highly recommend One Love Pet Care!
My dog, Kiara absolutely loves this place. And the best part is she plays all day so when she gets home she is exhausted and knocks out so it's perfect. She has her bestie, skye, whom she loves. I am very particular when it comes to my baby and I would not trust another day care facility other than bay rivers. And can I just say, as careful and considerate that these staff memeber can be we all need to remember these are animals with whom they wrestle and play with each other. A few scratches and markings are literally no big deal that is how animals play. If you don't like it, keep your dog separate from other animals. All the employees are amazing and very friendly.
I cannot say enough good things about these folks. Our pug is in a wheelchair so there are some challenges in caring for him. But the staff at Bay Rivers were so wonderful and attentive to all of his needs. He didn't even want to leave when I picked him up. I cannot recommend this facility enough! We will absolutely be back.
I would never take my dog anywhere Elsa. The team truly puts passions and hard work into the care of the animals. I feel like when I leave my girl she is safe and well taken care of which is not how I have felt in other locations such as petsuites and care a lot. Don’t take our word just visit and you’ll see the true efforts that are put into the best pet care.
Bay Rivers is great, we love sending our puppy there! It makes him so happy to get to play with the other dogs and the staff takes good care of him. We will definitely be sending him back!
Under new management, Bay Rivers Boarding and Day Care is far above its competitors. I love the care and concern the staff shows the dogs. I love that my shy little girl now plays with the big boys and interacts as a dog. I love that I can trust my pup with Brandon, Alyssa, and all the staff. These people know and love dogs. Your pup will benefit from their care. They always have something fun planned and take pictures of all the dogs in their care. Join the fun at Bay Rivers Boarding and Day Care!
If my dog could write this review, she would say this is "the bestest place ever." The staff is amazing and take amazing care of the dogs. They send the best report cards, which are very informative and thoughtful. They take the most awesome pictures and create a great atmosphere. In addition to the socialization my dog receives, she also benefits from the training they provide.
First day for my dog today. I have nothing but amazing things to say! Kylie (I believe that was her name) was super nice and helpful during check in! Explained stuff perfectly for me! The gentleman that called me at 11am was also super informative on how my baby’s evaluation for daycare went! They even let him stay the rest of the day! When pick up time rolled around, he was still outside. 💙 I could hear his little play barks! 🥰 I expected to be paying for a full day of daycare since he was there from 7am to 4:15pm but I was surprised that there was no charge since it was his eval day! They even told me that he would get a peanut butter kong over lunch for his first day and that made my heart and my husbands heart so happy! We will absolutely continue to use them for daycare and even boarding when it’s needed in the future! 💙
Wow I love these guys! From the moment I did a tour of the facility to the introductions with my pups. Their knowledge, friendliness, their interaction with our dogs has been unmatched. We have a very nervous rescue and this team took their time and allowed her to settle. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my furbabies Shanon & Jeremy Johnson, Journey Home Realty, LLC | eXp Realty
Update Jan 2023: They are not at the same level as before after reopening. One of the reasons I brought my pups here is that their were knowledgeable trainers incorporated into the daycare. I mean they would take aggressive dogs. Now they can even handle my 2 boys that came for 2+ years for daycare & boarder. On evaluation they feel they can’t handle my dogs because one is missing an eye and the other is protective of his brother. They used to just separate them into different groups. They didn’t even attempt on the re-evaluation to keep them together. This only means staffing isn’t adequate and/or the training from off leash isn’t good. Either way if you used to bring your pup here know they can’t handle normal dog behavior. Disappointed they were wonderful sad to see there just no good places in the Hampton roads area. Only positive is the place is still nice & the staff were polite. I can’t say enough good things about Bay Rivers! I took my boys in for an evaluation & play day (and since have boarded them multiple nights)! The staff was knowledgeable about dogs and their interactions. They even took extra time to get my little guy settled in when he was being a little fiery and overprotective of his brother! I highly recommend them!
Bay Rivers Boarding & Daycare’s staff have done an amazing job with my dog Stella! She was very nervous and stand-offish her first few days, as she had previously been with unfamiliar dogs, but the staff were very accommodating and worked with her to help her make new furry friends. Stella now has a great time playing with other dogs of all ages and sizes. The transition I saw from the daily report cards over the course of a week of boarding and daycare was unbelievable! The daily report cards with cute pictures and videos of play time along with a description of how the day went are great! She went from trying to hide in the corner at first to now playing with the dogs while also begging for all of pets and belly rubs from the staff. The staff truly love all of the dogs there and work hard to make sure the dogs all have a good time. Stella now loves seeing all of her friends when she goes into daycare and comes home worn out ready to snuggle after a fun day of playing! Highly recommended Bay Rivers for both both Boarding and Daycare!
As a small business owner of a similar business, I am proud to support this business as they exceed the same standards and expectations that I exact with my own business. They take the time to know and understand each customer and their needs. Their care and compassion for every pet is impeccable. Timba and Nala love them!
My GSP pup hasn’t been going here very long but already seems to love it. He’ll paw at the door and is super excited to see everyone!
We cannot rave enough about the care, love, and services our two boys receive from D.O.G. Daycare & Spa every visit! We never worry about their well-being when they go stay with their friends here. It's awesome that the staff knows our boys when they prance in the doors - that shows us they truly care about each individual pup! We also appreciate the updates on Facebook with pictures of our boys having fun together and with other dogs - it is fun to see them interacting with other pups. Thank you, D.O.G., for taking such good care of our kiddos (and following ALL their complicated instructions!).
Of the places I've boarded my dogs, this one is definitely the best! I tried another place before because it was a bit cheaper, and my dog was so anxious and ready to leave. At D.O.G.'s Daycare and Spa ALL the dogs I've had stay there have just been super happy and were very well taken care of. Needless to say, I have remained a customer of D.O.G.'s because I do feel comfortable leaving my dogs with them. I drive out of my way to board my dogs here. I highly recommend their services!
When your pup has nicknames and is beloved by the staff, you know you've found the perfect place to safeguard your furry pet. They take such good care of my pup I wouldn't trust anyone else.
I am so glad I found this place. It's a 40 minute drive 1 way for me and worth it! Our pup gets structured play and socialization. When he needs grooming they do a great job as well. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
My dogs had there first stay @ D.O.G's Daycare this past weekend. The Staff was very friendly. They even gave me a call just to let me know how my fur babies 1st day went. When I picked up on Monday, my Dogs appeared very happy and content. Like they had a good stay. I will definitely be using them my all my Dogs needs.
We love D.O.G.’S! Our dog has a blast every time he goes. They treat him like he’s family and we always feel so comfortable leaving him there for daycare or overnight boarding. We cannot say enough great things. 10/10 recommend!
Love Jess !! She did a wonderful job on my collie Sampson. Can’t wait to see how my other collie Binx and my golden retriever Willow come out ..
By far, the very best groomers in the 757!! I have trusted them for years with my fur-babies, and not once have I ever been less than thrilled with their services. They genuinely care about the animals trusted in their care! Highly recommended!
I cannot rave enough about Critter Sitters and More. They keep you updated with every visit they make, they also send pictures. I didn’t get a single photo where my pups weren’t thrilled to see Suzanne or Colleen. So grateful Critter Sitters and More exists.
Fantastic service! Highly recommend! We have used Critter sitters for several years. It makes leaving home so much easier! They take great care of my cat, who does not like being left alone, and they also water my plants, check my house and bring in the mail. Easy to schedule, easy to change plans, so easy to communicate through the app or email.
I highly recommend Critter Sitters! We recently used them while we were out of town for a week. I was nervous to leave our two cats alone, as this was the longest we had been gone before. My mind was soon put at ease! Our Critter Sitter provided us with a detailed report of each visit, complete with pictures. They were also very responsive to my messages, so I was able to be in good communication the entire time. They are extremely professional and provide high-quality care.
I'm most happy with Critter Sitters care of my cats. They kept me updated with how their interaction with my cats was going by email & photos on a daily basis. They followed my directions and requests perfectly. I trust them explicitly.
I would like to thank our critter sitters Cassie and Mary for taking care of our girls Thelma and Luna while we were out of town over Thanksgiving. They did a wonderful job and never failed to post pictures and reports to keep us updated while we were gone.
The critter sitters have never let me down!! They are amazing! My Bella lives it when they come and take care of her!!
How can I give this company 9,000 stars and it still wouldn’t be enough! To start I had never used a pet sitting company before and I have a hard time trusting the care of my animals with anyone so just even considering them took a lot! After seeing their reviews and qualifications I figured it wouldn’t hurt to give them a chance. Colleen and Leslie came to my home for a consult and I knew they would be a good match! We went on our cruise and I was nervous and anxious about leaving my fur family. That all went away with the very first visit! I was notified upon arrival and received detailed reports and photos after each visit! My cats warmed up to them fairly quickly and my ferrets absolutely adored them!!! I will forever be using them as long as I own pets and recommend them to anyone who asks!! Thank you Colleen and Leslie and thank you Critter Sitters and More!!!
Critter Sitters have done an amazing job of caring for our 2 dogs while we were away on vacation. Each sitter arrived on time, shared many pictures of our furbabies, and kept us updated with a thorough report after each visit. We will definitely book them again!!
Critter Sitters and More cared for my Odin while I was away for a couple of days. I have used this company before and this latest service was equally as excellent as my past experiences! Mary and Colleen were wonderful and walked and fed Odin during my trip providing me timely and informative updates with photos. Very professional and efficient. I am 100% confident in Critter Sitters and More. The BEST! Bob Harper
If I could give 6 stars I would. I have never had a better pet sitting service experience. I was gone for 8 days and the team that cared for my cats went above and beyond. Communication was excellent. They provided daily, detailed, updates and photos. They not only fed the cats and cleaned up after them but they got the mail and even put the trash on the street and brought the cans back up. My home as spotless when I returned and my cats have never been cared for better. If you are deciding between a kennel or a pet sitter, I highly suggest you reach out to Critter Sitters and More. I promise you will not be disappointed.
I absolutely love F&F! The staff is so caring and kind, I completely trust that my pup is taken care of well while she’s there. They are always friendly, they take the time to let you know if they noticed something about your pup that you want to keep an eye on and communicate well when there’s a closing. I always enjoy the random photos and holiday photo shoots they do, I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else!
We’ve been bringing our pup to Femmes and Fidos for daycare/boarding for 2 years now. The team here is always so easy to work with and caring towards our dog. Could not recommend them enough. The attached grooming service is also super convenient and more great folks.
Love!! I have a mini bernedoodle and have tried quite a few grooming places as he needs it often. Femmes & Fidos was by far the nicest to my dog and made sure he was comfortable through the experience. They also did exactly what I asked for with the cut and made sure I knew everything they would do before!
We’ve been using Femmes & Fidos for years and our dogs are always happy there! They love it and we love how easy the entire process of dropping off & picking up is.
This place is so great. Our puppy loves it and all the workers are very nice and love all the puppies so much. I definitely wish there were more locations but so happy to find this place.
My 2 dogs love to go see Erin for their bath and groom. She is excellent! Shop is above professional.
They did such an awesome job saving my bernedoodle boy, Roscoe, from all his matting. I knew he was going to have to be shaved down, but they did such a smooth job of the cutting that he didn't look butchered like he has from other places. They also were able to leave enough fur on his face, and did such a good job shaping it, that he still looks adorable. I'll definitely be sticking with them. Thank you!
Friendly enough, but it seemed overbooked. Took 3+ hours for my toy schnauzer for routine groom (no matting) on our 2nd visit. First visit, he was ready in about an hour (which I was used to).
Femmes & Fidos does such a wondeful job with my senior Labradoodle, Ginger. Rissa is terrific! Ginger always looks - and smells - great!! 😊 …
I can’t begin to describe the wonderful care our fur baby has received at Femmes and Fidos. As a longtime customer our dog has utilized their daycare, boarding and grooming services. All of which have been superb! I wouldn’t trust the care of our dog to anyone else but Femmes and Fidos!
By far the best experience I've ever had boarding our dog. The private suites are perfect for our senior dog who isn't too keen on playing and has severe separation anxiety. The team has a perfect intake procedure and ask all the right questions. Their documentation of our pets routine and follow through are impeccable. If you want to board your pet and not have a worry while you're on vacation, look no further.
If I could do 0 stars, I would. I’m happy others had a great experience with this pet lodge, but that is not the case for me. I picked my dog up in the morning after a weekend of boarding and she had literal poop on her mouth. My dogs temperament was entirely different. As soon as she entered my car, she began throwing up brown liquid, and had a long spell of diarrhea. Following our arrival at home, she wouldn’t eat, run, and I honestly thought she was going to die. I’m not sure if this is a one off experience, and I don’t know what may have occurred. I do know that my dog will not be returning to this boarding facility.
I am so happy with our boarding experience here. River came home happy. When i went and picked her up she actually turned back to the man to say goodbye. That is saying alot. She has never done that at our other place. Usually she bolts for the door and shes done. All my worries went out the door. Thank you pet lodge for taking care of our baby.
I have brought my dog here since he was a puppy and was ABLE to go into daycare and he has a blast!! He loves the staff and they give him the best care while he is there. Every time i say we are going to daycare he jumps right up and is ready to go. The staff is very trustworthy, extremely caring, and responsible. My dog loves The Pet Lodge at Yorktown and I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND BRINGING YOUR FUR FRIEND HERE !
I cannot speak better about Jen and all the staff that make this place amazing. They know each regular dog not just by name, but by temperament. They truly define the phrase above and beyond. Pricing is fair and better than competition for the quality they provide. Our dog recognized the street and was always eager to come back. This is the best dog daycare we have ever seen and we are incredibly thankful for everyone here and all they have done.
My dogs are older and weren’t really socialized with other dogs but the staff was still willing to give it a try! The staff is very friendly and never gave up on my dogs. They found ways to make daycare enjoyable without being overwhelming for them. I truly appreciate that about the lodge!
They must have done a great job, my extremely attached anxious greyhound didn’t even want to leave! They also accommodated me last minute in a rush and have good prices.
So very impressed with Yorktown Pet Lodge. I took my puppy, Elmer, there after he was fully vaccinated and he has loved every single day of daycare. They have socialized him with all sizes of dogs and even kitties. The staff is always polite and professional. I have attached a picture of Elmer after a bath they gave him after playing hard in the yard. I highly recommend YPL for daycare and/or boarding. They love the pets like their own 💞🐾🦴
I KNOW there won't be enough room to explain how absolutely life-saving, kind, loving, and just all around amazing Jen and the rest of the staff here are! We have an 8 yo Mastiff who is a rescue and was severely beaten the first 3 yrs of her life. My baby ADORES Jen and everyone here! That says A LOT!!!! We always board Cookie (Mastiff), Simba (Pit mix), Xoco (Xoloitzcuintli), and our kitty Lucky with them. I love how they always send us progress notes while we're out of the country; photos; and our precious fur baby's are NEVER stressed when they go, whether it's for boarding or just day camp. As soon as we pull up both Cookie and Simba go nuts with eagerness to get inside! These people are PET WHISPERERS!!!! They very obviously love their jobs and the furbabies they care for! I almost don't want to leave a review because I'm a little afraid more people will go to them and there won't be room for MY babies! LOL Seriously though, if you need daycare, boarding, etc. this is THE place to go!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!!!
So has A dog Mama I am very overly protective and sorta crazy when it comes to my babies! Ive never used a day care service until my newly adopted loved other dogs so much and i had to board him when I went on vaca. This place may be very busy to answer phones an texts but that is because they give our babies so much love and protection. I want to thank all staff members for helping me become adjusted and for letting Max stay with yall today. Ralphie always leaves beyond happy and is worn out at home! I couldn’t recommend a better place! This warms me so much. See y’all next week! ❤️❤️❤️🐶🐶🐶🐶
This is the best doggie daycare, grooming and training business in Hampton Roads area. The daycare employee definitely wear out my dog with playtime and are very knowledgeable about caring for the different breeds. The grooming is excellent! Your dog is never crated while waiting to be groomed or drying and they smell so good after with their bows or bandanna! Training is so laid back, calm and very knowledgeable. I can’t say enough about Pawsitive Vibes!
Thank you Erica for taking such good care of our dog Phin while we were out of town! We enjoyed the pics, videos, and updates of all the fun she was having with the other dogs. I highly recommend using Erica for your dog sitting needs!
Best decision my husband and I have made for our dog! Between our busy schedules it is so worth it to pay to take him here to get him out of the house and more social around people and other dogs! Even with doing online schooling at home he needs more time out of the house and this is perfect for him.. He has grown so much since he started going here and I trust them so much with him. They offer so many different services and the owner is very personable and flexible. THEY also have very good groomers there as well and good prices! Would highly recommend for any dog owner. 👍♥️🐕🐶 One picture is him after his first grooming and they did awesome!
Thank you to Kayla for grooming our 3 pups! They look fantastic! I love the fact that they were all 3 together while being groomed and that you let them take a potty break outside. They were so happy when I came to pick them up. Thank you again Kayla and Pawsitive Vibes…we will be back!
Erica is THE. BEST. We’ve been taking our Henry there for a few months for daycare days, and he LOVES it. We get updates throughout the day and she’s always posting on her social media in her stories of the pups having a blast. Couldn’t recommend a better place and someone who truly cares for your pup when they are with her. Love Pawsitive Vibes!
Excellent dog trainer. We have gone through basic training with one dog and she is now enrolled in intermediate. Another dog has just begun the new anxious dog class and loved her first experience. The trainers take a lot of care to make sure dogs and owners are as comfortable as possible and don't rush through the training. They also provide a lot of "why's" for dog behavior that has been helpful as we try to counter condition and teach good behavior and good decision making. An excellent value for money. used their dog grooming services which were quick and easy.
We started bringing our dog here to help him get more exercise and socialize more having moved to a townhouse from a house with a yard. He comes home happily tired. We also get him groomed here and their groomer does an amazing job. He is a malamute so his fur can be difficult and plentiful, but he always comes back looking and smelling amazing. They also well send random pictures they snag of him which I love!
My dog Fungus loves Pawsitive Vibes so much that his behavior improves when we say "daycare". He loves Val, who is always at the front desk. He loves every person who works there, and so do I. They are in tune with doggy behavior and put the health and wellbeing of the pups first. I've worked at doggy daycares in the past and I was truly impressed with Pawsitive Vibes' transparency and commitment to safety. Every dog I see there is relaxed and happy, having a great time. I can't recommend this place enough!
Kayla, the groomer is terrific! She takes care of our 2 basset hounds and 2 of our chihuahuas. The last time she groomed Chiquita, our blind special little chihuahua, she even dyed her little spots on her back to make it look like she has flowers!
Our Labrador who does not enjoy grooming or nail trims always is happy to visit Pawsitive Vibes. She is not dog friendly, and they always make accommodations for me to drop her off and pick her up without interactions with other dogs. The staff is super friendly.
