Jason
Acorn Acres, Virginia
Working from your home so your fur babies get plenty of care and affection
Jason is a great housesitter and cared about our cat's comfort. We were able to take our pup with us but not our cat who has separation anxiety. We received pictures and updates on how he was doing. Jason is also a kind person, and we met his girlfriend who is lovely as well. It was so nice to come back to a tidy home after traveling. Would definitely recommend!

Diane was a great sitter for us! She was communicative, helpful, caring, and sent us pictures every day! Would definitely have her stay with our pets again
Jon
Acorn Acres, Virginia
Retired Physician and Nurse who dearly love animals.
Jon and Freda are the most kind and caring people we have ever met. Our dogs Sandi and Lucy were treated more special than anyone could imagine. They became a part of their family with lots of attention and tender loving care. Both dogs were spoiled and enjoyed ventures to Tractor Supply, Petsmart and Home Depot and even rides around the local lakes. Lucy received a special new cuddly bed on one trip. Our pups were more than well cared for as was obvious by Jon and Freda’s attention to detail making them feel well loved. They very quickly learned their personalities and were great about communicating with questions or concerns to ensure that the best possible care was given. We received pictures, special moments and regular updates on our fur kids. We came home to a well-maintained house inside and out. We were and are so appreciative to have such a great couple (Jon and Freda) to stay in our house and to take care of our dogs, Sandi and Lucy. We came back to two very calm, relaxed and happy dogs. I know that they missed them when they left since they looked around to find them after they had left. There were also some beautiful flowers left for us when we returned home; so very thoughtful! It is very comforting to know that when you go away that you have such fantastic people watching your house and dogs. We would love to have them come sit at our house sometime in the future. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a perfect house/dog sitter……on a scale of 1 to 10….10 is not a high enough rating. A great big thanks to Jon and Freda for helping us with some flexibility as we were able to be there for our son's college graduation and do all of the necessary things to move him out of his apartment as well as visit some family and friends.

We’ve never met an animal we didn't like- and even fewer that didn't like us :)
Tiawna was an amazing guest! My dog Quezo absolutely love her. She was patient with him and really cared for him as if he was her own. He was so sad when she left. 10/10 would recommend!

Tina
Acorn Acres, Virginia
A loving and active family of 4 wants to make sure your pet has a great time.
Tina, Peter and the kids were excellent sitters. They asked questions when they had them, sent pictures to us, took excellent care of the animals, and cleaned the house thoroughly before they left. We couldn’t have asked for more. I would highly recommend Tina and Peter for your pet sit.
Stephen
Acorn Acres, Virginia
Spiritual author enjoying many vistas!
It was a pleasure to have Stephen come and stay while I was on holiday. My cat Tabitha immediately snuggled up to him in preference to me and stayed with him all week. Stephen is really easy to get along with and e had some great conversations sharing our experiences. I hope our paths cross again one day.

Tracy arrived promptly and provided good care for my dog. She was attentive to him and he seemed in good shape when I got home.
Reviews from Cat Owners

Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Mike
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Diana
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would.
Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned.
I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Adrienne
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
KOLBY
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!

Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.

Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Joanne
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.

Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!

My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.

My pups absolutely loved Jamaria!!! She was amazing about sending updates on my babies and even working with them on listening! Will definitely be using Rising Moon Kennels again!!! Thanks so much for making my vacation less stressful!!
We had an incredible experience with Rising Moons Kennels! J was fantastic in helping us train our new puppy, providing us with the tools we needed for everything from leash training to managing problem areas at home. She explains everything so clearly and makes training a high-energy puppy enjoyable and effective. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking to bring out the best in their dog!
My experience having my dog boarded with Rising Moon Kennels was amazing. I boarded my 11 month old dog with them for 17 days and the care and attention given was superb. Every day I received pictures and videos of my dog showing how she was doing and she was doing marvelously. It was obvious that she was getting the time and attention needed to keep her happy and content. I cannot recommend Rising Moon Kennels enough. This is the best place to board your dog or dogs. Your dog will thank you for it.
I highly recommend Ms.J kennels. I went to the Dominican Republic for a few days. This being the furthest I have from my boy Khaos. Just the pre boarding session I was already sold and comfortable. Hands down a solid person to work with. Khaos was spoiled with love and care. Looking forward to doing business again. Thanks Ms.J
This was our first time boarding our 2.5 year old, Nala. Rising Moon Kennels answered all our questions, and was extremely patient with us as we navigated boarding for the first time. The care and attention given was beyond our expectations. We received videos and photos daily showing how she was doing, and she was doing fantastic. Nala got the time and one on one attention she needed. And we cannot recommend Rising Moon Kennels enough, and will definitely be using in the future.
It was the best place we have ever used. I would recommend her to anyone. Loved the videos she sent daily. And the camera so you can see your fur baby. Just a wonderful place for your fur baby.
Last week was the first time boarding our dogs and we were so very pleased with the care they received at RMK ! Jay is awesome and really loves and cares about the dogs. She sent photos, updates and videos daily which allowed me to relax and not worry about my babies. I will definitely go to RMK for future boarding.
My girl J was amazing with my baby Ace. Upon first talking with her you would've thought we had known eachother for years. She was very professional, loving, caring, and flexible. She worked so well with my family and I in obedience training with Ace and we seen results in the first week. I would definitely trust her to dog sit my baby. Thanks J you are amazing girl❤️❤️
Jamaria was amazing to work with. I recently adopted a 2-year old, adult dog who was in need of obedience training and improvements in manners. After finishing the training, he's improved in all areas of concern for me, which were heeling, recall, and not jumping when meeting new people. Jamaria is very patient, personable, and knowledgeable in many techniques used in obedience training. We will continue to apply what we've learned from our sessions to continue to improve. I highly recommend! Thank you!
J took amazing care of our fur babies! We have two young, very energetic pups who want nothing more than to play all day. This was the perfect place for them! We loved that dogs were able to do a meet and greet before boarding. When the time came to drop them off, they immediately recognized the driveway and were excited to be there. We felt so confident with leaving them in her care and look forward to boarding with J again!

A Barking Good Time, LLC - Dog Walking & Boarding Services
Recent Reviews:
We have been clients of A Barking Good Time for the last 7 months and have had a wonderful experience. Krystyna runs a great team; the most impressive part is the reliability – in the course of our time with them, there has never been a late or missed appointment. In addition, they send pictures and a status update upon each visit! The status update includes pictures of my dogs and what was done during the visit (bathroom, play, love, feeding, etc). Seeing these updates, truly sets us at ease during the day knowing that our dogs are getting love and attention! Would recommend A Barking Good Time for anyone needing the services they provide.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about A Barking Good Time! We have used them the last few years for walking our fur baby and have also boarded with them. Krystyna and her team take such good care of our pup while we are away. They even have an awesome app that allows you to know how the walk went and see photos. It is also used to schedule and pay, making it a super easy process. They are very communicative, trustworthy, and really make you feel like they consider your pup their own! I would recommend A Barking Good Time to anyone in the North Suffolk area if you want to support a great local business and have your furry family member cared for while you are away!
We absolutely love Krystyna at A Barking Good Time. We get daily walks for our three dogs, and her service is absolutely amazing. In addition to being friendly and reliable, she has an awesome app that let's her send daily pictures, walking routes, and puppy report cards directly to our phones. Best dog care in the Western Branch, hands down. She is amazing - if you need pet care, you will not be disappointed.
We boarded our female Hound/Lab mix for a week with them, and she loved it! I loved the updates with pictures and videos too! They were great with her and really know what they’re doing when it comes to taking care of dogs. I wanted my dog to be in a loving home with a yard to play in while we were on vacation instead of in a boarding facility locked up in a crate. I felt very comfortable leaving her with them, I highly recommend boarding your dog with A Barking Good Time! We will definitely be using them again for our next vacation
We have been using services from A Barking Good Time for 10 months now and feel so fortunate to have found such an incredible pet care service. Krystyna runs her business like the boss babe she is. She has spoiled our sweet girl with their walks and backyard play time and every meet up between them results in some fabulous photos of our dog enjoying herself to the max! I can’t say enough fabulous things about Krystyna and her company A Barking Good Time LLC. Professional, prompt, trustworthy, great communication, post walk reports (w/pics)...! Rain or shine, she will tire out your dog! If you need dog walking or boarding services, please contact her! If our dog could talk, she would give rave reviews so instead she will give two paws up!
We love this service! Krystyna cares for our dogs as if they were her own! While in her care they become part of her family and enjoy lots of love, playtime and runs in the yard! The pictures and updates she sends are wonderful! They are always so happy in her care! We wouldn’t use any other boarding service.
Our Mookie loves Karla and Krystina and A Barking Good Time!!! These ladies are fantastic and love our Mookie. Pictures, playing, feeding, loving and just being her friend twice a day helped us ease into me going back to work full time without feeling too guilty about leaving her at home. They are the best and I’d leave Mookie or any pet with them any time!!!
These ladies take great care of my GS puppy. She is quite the handful and they have done an amazing job taking care of her while I am at work. They have even taught her how to do tricks. I would definitely recommend!!!(:
Gregg, I am sorry you feel as though we do not deserve a 5 star rating. I would like an opportunity to provided dog walking and/boarding before you rate us based on a service that was never provided.. Thank you!

I'm so happy I found Whiskers & Tails. In the past 2 months, I've used both in-home pet sitting and boarding in a Whiskers & Tails home. The employees took time to get to know my dog and put me at ease, prior to using the services. They always greet my dog first, before greeting me. That's how you know this is more than just a business. They really care for my pets. When I return, my dog, she is happy. She is not ticked that I left her for so long! When I picked my dog up from boarding, she acted like she didn't want to leave. That's how I know my dog was in good hands. It's rare to find a business to which, I’d give 5 stars. I'm truly happy with the service I've received and I intend to continue using this service.
Yvonne is fabulous ♥️ She took excellent care of my dog and cat. I received daily updates, with photos, and clear communication throughout. She's an excellent companion for your animals, and you can be confident that your furry family will receive the best care!
Whiskers and tails is great! There is a wide variety of services offered at reasonable prices. I feel very comfortable with the care they give my pets, and how well they take care of my home. They are very reliable and communicative. The app is great also- it makes it so easy to schedule, and I can also monitor the care of my pets while I'm gone. I love the summary and pics from each visit! It is clear that they truly care for animals as well!
Yvonne does a great job with all of our pets. We have a literal zoo at our house and she tends to them all with the care and attention she would give her own pets. She is great at communicating what she does with your pets through daily pictures and text messages. I wholeheartedly trust her in my home when we're gone and I highly recommend Whiskers and Tails to anyone with pet sitting needs.
Absolutely LOVE Whiskers & Tails! I am at ease leaving my pup at home during the work day with professional and fun dog walkers! My dog loves Stephanie and I know he is under great care. I love getting pictures of him at work and reading the little notes that she writes about the visit. Yvonne is so friendly and wonderful to talk to, and has great communication! 10/10 would recommend. VERY flexible and VERY reliable. If you need a dog walker or even just someone to take out your pup when you are gone for a few hours, look no further than Yvonne and Stephanie!
I love this service!!! We are so excited to have a professional dog walker that services our area of Suffolk. Yvonne and her staff are experienced, professional, and crazy about animals! Our dog, Apollo, loves them! From the first time we used Whiskers & Tails until now, we are thrilled with this service and we would recommend them to anyone!
Yvonne and her company are absolutely amazing! The experience has been nothing but spectacular. We have been so impressed with Yvonne and Brooke. We have a German Shepherd Dog puppy who needs a lot of walking and they always work with us to give him the best/longest walk they can within our budget. When he was sick, they even heated up his lunchtime meal for us - how awesome is that? I cannot recommend them enough, and if anyone is unsure whether they can afford it, let me tell you: It's one of the single best things we've done for our puppy and we will go without cable before we cancel Yvonne!
My kitties and I are new to the Smithfield area and when we had to leave our beloved pet sitter on the Peninsula, we were super bummed! I met Yvonne at a BNI group meeting and was excited to find a new pet sitter that we could rely on while on travel! We've worked with Yvonne twice now and have been so pleased! She includes lots of photos (make sure you check for them online on the doTimely app/website-I didn't realize for the longest time that there were photos being sent until after the fact b/c they weren't coming thru my phone!) and my three kitties are very comfortable with her. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a great pet sitter in the Smithfield area!
Going away from the kitty babies has always been hard, but having Yvonne and her team taking care of them has given us great piece of mind. Not only does she care for them but also considers things like switching different lights so ppl will think your home, grabbing your mail.....and our heat went out she grabbed a couple of safe heaters and made sure that the kitties and house would be warm. You couldn't find this in regular pet care, she goes over and above, and as a person whom strives to do the same, I will tell you it's rare these days! Highly recommended!!!!!
These pix are from May of 2018. Our sweet Obie needed special care while we were away for a few days. I cannot say enough about Yvonne, her professionalism and the wonderful care she gave our elderly dog. He left us in June of 2018, so it meant alot to us to give him a great life with dignity during his waning days. We Love You, Yvonne and Whiskers and Tails!
