Cat Sitters in Bassett, VA

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Lucy's Friends Pet Sitting, LLC last year. We have been able to continue our wonderful relationship, Cooper is so accommodating, we feel absolutely blessed. We have a 15y cocker spaniel Libby, Cooper is so patient with her many ever changing needs. Cooper is trustworthy and dependable. We can fully recommend this company.

Highly recommend Lucy's Friends Pet Sitting, LLC if you are going out of town or just need daily help with your furry friends! Cooper is diligent about getting to know each pet and providing just the right amount of support. It's so great to have someone you can trust and rely on whether it's an overnight or an extended trip.

In short, Cooper and Lucy’s Friends Pet Sitting absolutely rock! Best pet sitting service I have ever used! Paws down! Read on for the many, many reasons I feel thus. As are many pet parents, I’m reluctant to leave my fur babies. In fact, I tend to travel with my cats rather than leave them in another’s care. Recently, I had opportunity to visit Europe for a month, but it meant flying solo sans cats. I nearly passed on the trip because one of my cats requires daily medication, another is terrified of strangers, and the third is prone to anxiety; I didn’t think I’d find a pet sitter with whom I’d be comfortable caring for them for a month. I called around and had some less-than-encouraging conversations with area sitters (few wanted or could accommodate such a lengthy commitment, others weren’t comfortable giving medications, and some just didn’t vibe). I was on the verge of cancelling the trip when I found Lucy’s Friends. From the start, Cooper was professional, agreeable, friendly, and conveyed a clear passion for animals (he volunteers at animal rescues and helps care for feral cat colonies on the island). Cooper came to meet the cats and learn their routine. He also wanted to ensure that he’d be a good fit for the job, which I appreciated (some pets and people just don’t click and Cooper needed to know the cats would be cool with him). He diligently assessed the situation, the cats, and their needs before committing. I was very happy to see that money wasn’t Cooper’s primary motivation (he genuinely wanted what was best for the cats and would have declined the job had he not been absolutely certain he could deliver). During that first meeting, he also administered medication to my special needs kitty thereby assuring me that he could handle the task (his technique is as good as, if not better, than that of many vet techs I’ve seen in action). His warm disposition and obvious love for animals (not to mention the magic he worked with a syringe) sold me! I knew my babies would be in good hands. Every day of my month-long trip, he texted me updates, photos, and videos. When it seemed as if the kitties were especially anxious and missing me, he bought a pheromone dispenser for them! He even brought special toys, along with catnip, to cheer them up. He could have just come by, done the bare minimum, and left (how would I have known, after all?), but he took a genuine interest in their well-being. In my view, Cooper went above and beyond. I could not be more pleased with Cooper and Lucy’s Friends. I highly recommend him and his company! So long as I live on HHI, I won’t consider anyone else when it comes to caring for my fur babies. In sum, if you need a pet sitter, Cooper’s your man! He gets the “crazy-cat lady seal of approval” from me, as well as glowing endorsements from Kush, Bugsy, and Cary Grant!

Lucy's Pet Sitting is fantastic. We have used Cooper and Jen for over a decade. They not only take wonderful care of our cats but also our home. Our cats love them! Their service gives us such piece of mind knowing they come every day to make sure everything is in order. They make traveling a lot less stressful. We highly recommend them!

They've always been wonderful! When I'm out of town, Wolfgang goes to the house twice per day to feed and play with my three cats. They love him (probably because when they see him it means food!) and I feel good knowing they're being taken care of. He is also very responsive if I have a question or want a quick update about them while I'm out of town. I definitely recommend this company! (Picture of my three boys below!)

Cooper and staff are great. They pay close attention to each of my cats and my cats love them. I'm glad I can go on vacation and not worry about my cats. Lucy's Friends is highly recommended.

We recently used Lucy's Friends Pet Sitting services. We can't thank enough Wolfgang. He took care of our cat Anakin. We got texts and pictures after every visit. April is amazing. She organized and controlled everything, dates, visits, all details. These people are true professionals. They don’t just do the job, they care for our pets. I highly recommend Lucy's Friends Pet Sitting. Kate

Micah and his team are incredible, we recently moved to HHI from New England and finding a new pet sitter is not only challenging, but it is emotional because you want your fur babies in safe, nurturing hands. When I first contacted Micah by phone we had a wonderful conversation and I was immediately at ease, we set up a meeting for him to meet our pets to make sure everyone was comfortable with each other. All of our pets, 2 cats and 2 dogs, were immediately drawn to him, and we know animals are the best judge of human character. Even our 17 year old grumpy "I don't like people" cat walked right up to him. We've since used Lucy's on several occasions including trips abroad. And recently had a situation where we needed to call at 8 pm at night to ask Micah to let the dogs out for last call at 10 pm because our return home was being delayed. He immediately assured us he would go to the house and check in on the pets, and if we were delayed until morning, would make sure they were taken care of. Lucy's is the best and gives us a lot of piece of mind that are pets are well cared for and loved while we are away.

We are so lucky to have Lucy's friends for our pet sitting needs. Wolfgang is the best. It is such a peace of mind to know you don't need to worry about the gang while you're away. Our 3 cats love Wolfgang and the playtime. Highly recommend.

We have been using Lucy's Friends for more than a decade. Cooper, and later joined by Wolfgang, have been great caretakers of two generations of cats and a few fish. In addition to pet care, they handle basic away-from-home management, rescuing stray front porch deliveries, weekly shifting of trash cans, and watering plants. I highly recommend them.

Highly recommend! Reliable and trustworthy. He’s been great with our 2 dogs. He takes his time and is very loving. One of our dogs had health issues and he took care of him with no problems.

Ridge is great with our daughter’s two dogs. They love when he visits and spends quality time with them. Highly recommend his pet sitting services 😉 …

UPDATE since 1st review 8 months ago: I'd give 10 stars if I could! "Uncle" Ridge is an invaluable member of our team that supports an unwell pup-mom by providing the love, attention, affection & exercise that my remaining pup desperately needs... but momma doesn't always feel up to providing. My giant breed "happy tinkles" every time she sees him lol, something she's never done for anyone. When that PetKary van arrives in our driveway, my pup loses her mind with excitement. "Uncle" Ridge is by far her favorite person. He has taken her to the vet, spent the night at our home, takes pup on regular walks, bathes her, plays with her, provides lots of cuddles - the list is endless. We trust PetKary completely in our home & with our most valuable asset; our dog :) PetKary has spent enough time to in our home to be privvy to all the private details of our lives - from overheard phone calls to notes left about to carelessly leaving passwords laying about when we leave. I have the utmost confidence that anything seen or heard in our home - stays in our home. That if my dog, with her many sensitivies & allergies, needed emergency care - he would know EXACTLY what to do. Thank you Ridge, for giving our entire family peace of mind. You've heard of overprotective parents? Helicopter moms? I am this times 27 when it comes to my dogs. I explained my expectations and gave Ridge the opportunity to bow out...but he rose to the challenge. I have an ailing, senior Spitz. And a young, energetic Great Dane. Completely different needs and personalities. Ridge is amazing w them both...and they LOVE HIM. I will also add that PetKary is bonded and insured. It's nice to have the security of knowing that if an "oops" were ever to happen, I have no concerns. Look no further - I could not be happier or feel more secure w Ridge being in my home or caring for my fur kids.

Have used PetKary dog walking services weekly for 2 years and have ONLY positive things to say! Ridge is trustworthy and reliable. Most importantly, my dogs are always well cared for when I can't be there. HIGHLY recommend!

This company is always dependable and treats all dogs like family! My pups love their time with Ridge and love seeing him. He is wonderful about relaying information and being on time. 5/5 stars!!!

I called PetKary to take care of my dog cardi. They were very professional and I felt safe leaving my baby in their care.

Ridge is the BEST!! One of the only people I trust with my babies!

Highly recommend they are family owned and so helpful I feel safe an comfortable leaving out dogs there.

Excellent service!

Five stars!

I want to thank CountrySide Kennel for all they did for my family when we had a medical emergency. Their kindness was unprecedented, as they took in our four dogs (one a puppy) and our cat at the last minute. They were so helpful and understanding and went way above and beyond to accommodate us. They kept us updated on my pets welfare. They were so compassionate with our situation and took AMAZING care of my pets. I highly recommend CountrySide Kennel, the kennel was immaculate and the dogs extremely well cared for!! 5 + stars

Nick and everyone else at CountrySide were great. My dog Rocky had his own large area and got a ton of outdoor time and personal attention from the staff, I know he will be excited the next time he gets dropped off. He even got a free bath because of the length of his stay. Their prices are great and I will definitely go to them from now on

Oscar had such a great time at Countryside. They were very accommodating with diet and grooming. They recognized that he has a ritchy rear end and what doggie doesn’t? He had a bath and a nail trim with Dremel and he looks so handsome. I really can’t recommend this boarding/daycare highly enough. Nick and Deborah truly love four legged furry friends and it shows.

Our boy Maxx stayed for 6 days. The staff is excellent and the cost is affordable. If the need arises again, they will be our first choice for boarding. He got a bath while there too.

First time leaving my girls, I was a bit nervous. But they all seemed to have done well. Everyone working there is extremely nice, when I pulled in there was someone in the yard playing ball with one of the boarders. Would definitely recommend and will use them again!

This is a nice facility out in the country (hence the name). Prior to leaving our dog here I went and took a tour. The owner, Nick, seemed very knowledgeable and has invested in quality kennels. He seems to give each dog a lot of personal attention. I was anxious about leaving our 2 year old German Shepherd, but when we picked up he seemed happy and was in great shape.

I have a 6 year old, high energy, high anxiety Australian shepherd so I'm often worried where I board her at. Countryside boarding was amazing! I trusted them with my baby, got regular picture updates, and she even got a complimentary bath at the end of her week stay. They were very accommodating with all of my dogs quirks and anxiety triggers. I really felt the owner and team were compassionate and cared a lot about the wellbeing of the animals and weren't just looking to make money doing the bare minimum like some boarding facilities. The facility was very very clean and they allowed tours of the whole place before hand. They are just starting out and there isn't many reviews but don't let that deter you, I can't recommend them enough!

Friendly & accommodating nice facility. Our dogs have no problem being kenneled at Countryside & we love knowing they are well cared for

Great kennel. They took really good care of my two dogs while I was away for Thanksgiving. The people were so nice and you could just tell they care for the animals.

Countryside watches over our little old (14) lady with care and compassion. We have total confidence in their care when we need to leave her

Brittany has groomed both of my dogs several times now and they love her!! She’s amazing! So is the other staff that I’ve interacted with! My babies are always happy when we get there and leave nice and fluffy! I can’t imagine taking them anywhere else! She is great!!!

Here is my updated review. We have been extremely happy with boarding our 45 lb dog. She is calm after being kenneled and did well with her first professional bath! She is happy to go every time and is making her first dog friends. When house sitters cancel and dog walkers are busy, Klub Kanine is there!

My dog, Shadow, has been there twice, and he loves it!!! He wakes up in the morning excited and ready to go! I felt so welcomed, and I and my husband are so pleased with the outcome of this union. I strongly recommend Barkley and Rover🤗 …

I have been taking my Golden Retriever here for daycare consistently for two months. He loves daycare and enjoys socializing and playing with his “friends”. The staff is friendly and cares about each dog. I highly recommend Klub Kanine and Barkley and Rover to anyone who works full-time and is considering daycare options in the Roanoke Valley.

We have been bringing Murphy here since he was approximately 6 months old. He started on the Klub Kanine side and they made him welcomed with open arms and loved. Fast forward to him presently at the age of two on the Barkley and Rover side. To say that my sweet boy is super excited to come to daycare everyday would be an understatement. The employees are so sweet and friendly. The genuinely seem to care about him and love to see him when he gets there every morning. Currently the daycare is going through some renovations and I am so very excited to see what changes will occur to benefit all the sweet pups. Keep up the GREAT work and thank you for loving our dogs!!!!

Klub K-9 kept my little weiner dog happy and healthy while we were on a week long vacation. They were extremely accommodating seeing as we had to book last minute due to our pet-sitter bailing out. I've never had to board my puppy before, but the employees were so very kind and made everything as smooth as possible for us and our fur-baby. Highly appreciated and Highly recommend! We will be booking him a stay there again in the very near future 😀 🙌 👍

Barkley and Rover is a great place. My dog has boarded there and also goes to play. She is hyper and not very open to anyone who is not me, but they have made huge strides getting her to come around, and she enjoys her time there and comes home completely exhausted. Kudos to the team at Barkley and Rover, they are kind, considerate and friendly to everyone. Its like taking my dog to a family member. The owners have amassed a great group of people! Thank you!!!!

We love taking our dog to get groomed here! Brittany has been so wonderful with our dog Luna. I always know that she will be completely taken care of and she is always so sweet with her. Always happy with her hair cut and they are great not to keep her too long which I love!

My Doberman just started coming here. These are the nicest, most professional people I've dealt with in a long time. It is obvious they care about all of the dogs. My dog is worn out when he gets home and is so happy and that's all that matters to me. Bravo to the owners / managers and to the staff for being top notch. I'm so glad I found this place.

My girl LOVES Klub Kanine! Seriously, they are so caring and she is so well socialized because of her interactions. They all love her and I can tell it’s genuine. Highly recommend!

Our dogs are happy here. And we're happy they are well taken care of

Very good with our fur baby Rex use them for grooming needs and boarding!

I prefer my groomer. Just gave this one a try.Dont like my dogs hair cut

Great care for our dogs

My girls where very well cared for while I vacation.

Apparently it no longer exists. Phone number disconnected.

This was the first time we utilized this service after learning no one could keep our little dog while we were on vacation. I was greeted by a very friendly young lady at the front desk. She assured me everything would be okay. The place was clean and seemed well organized. You can bring your own food or allow them to feed your pet. Bring your pets a pillow and snacks if you like also. The prices aren't too bad at all. For 5 days I paid 127. That's a cheap price for peace of mind knowing your pet will be taken care of. We will be using these services in the future. It's really great to have something like this locally. I highly recommend Hollywood. Be sure to have all your pets shots. It's best to call ahead and they will gladly tell you which ones are needed before your pet can stay. They also groom as well.

Great staff and nice facilities. Your pet takes their own bed, toys and food with them. Reasonable rates. Penny was there four nights and also had a bath and nail trim for just $25 additional. Also important to us was she was next to other small dogs and indoors at night, not in a dog house in a lot next to a great Dane shed be scared to death of the whole time. She will be staying again! (picture of a satisfied customer)

I’m beyond thankful for them taking my big boy codak at the last minute and we came from Greensboro. The staff has been nothing but good to us and we appreciate you guys to the fullest. Thanks for showing my baby love.

Hollywood Pets is a fantastic, clean, professional, and responsible business that truly takes your pet, ( family member) and loves them like their own. My dog doesn't board well but after visiting Hollywood Pets that's the only place he loves and will stay without any issues. Love you guys thanks for your great service and dedication to our pets.

Hollywood Pets is Amazing! I assure you will not find better grooming or boarding services. They go above and beyond to make customers (doggies) happy and comfortable. When I stepped in their door, I didn't feel like I was at a grooming facility, because it is truly like a pet spa. There upbeat happy people, and wagging tails everywhere. The facility is very clean and hospitable. I will never take my babies, two Yorkshire Terriers, anywhere else. I know I will never find another who cares about, and loves my babies like Hollywood Pets!

We have used Hollywood Pets several times over the last year or so. This past visit will be our last. Our main concern with previous visits would be how our dogs smell upon pickup. It’s bad, maybe a mixture of kennel cleaner, pee and stench, who knows. Either way, they get bathed immediately upon arrival at home and their bed gets aired out, a lot. This time the bed has what looks to be a large pee stain on it. Our dogs are house trained, so it makes me wonder. We also had extra bags food prepared just in case and never received them back, strange. On to today’s issue which leads to our negative feedback. My wife calls in advance of our departure with our travel dates, drop off and pickup times and boarding fees, documenting all. Upon pick up of our pets, the boarding fees were higher than quoted. When this was questioned the owner stated he never gave those prices, he refused to look at the written documentation of such. After some intense discussion he slipped up and admitted a mistake in quoting a price prior to their July price increase, but refused to stick by the original quote or come to any terms of agreement. With this being said, dog owners beware! This business is less than ethical and cannot be trusted by any verbal conversation or agreements. This is an extremely piss poor way to operate a business and expect to retain customers. I would recommend pet owners take their beloved pets to anywhere else for boarding and care due to the fact that this business cannot be trusted on multiple levels. They will never see our $400-$500 dollar boarding visit fees again.

I paid $38 for my miniature schnauzer. My dog was groomed yesterday, and they did a fantastic job. My dog does not seem to mind going there, and I find the staff to be very helpful. I also saw a trainer working with s dog, she was incredibly gentle. My dog will continue to go there as long as I live in the area.

This is a great place/daycare to bring your pets and they even offer some vaccinations too. Great customer service and very very affordable. I'm a retired veteran so the cost is perfect for me and my family. My dogs looked so happy and comfortable there too when I checked on them.

The owner made time for my daughter and explain his business for our homeschool field trip. It was so clean, and the dogs were so well taken care of. He also helps the Animal Welfare Society here in Yanceyville and takes in dogs when they get full. These people are awesome!

The owner Derek goes above and beyond to explain anything about your pet, suggestions and even other services around town that he may not offer. Their grooming service is awesome and very consistent.

Really nice place with beautiful land. My dog was well cared for. I will definitely use them again. Buddy and I thank you!!

I’ve taken my dog here for six years. They’ve always been friendly and accommodating even when my travels get wonky! Our dog clearly loves the staff, too. We can’t ask for more!

The team is easy accommodating to my scheduling needs. My pups love it there and are always well taken care of.

I am a newly transplanted resident of Va. from Pennsylvania. So I needed to obtain services for my furry family that would be professional and affordable. I'd scheduled a cruise and needed caretakers for my 2 cats. After research and recommendations I chose Carvins Cove Bed & Biscuit. They informed me during a visitation before boarding,that they are moving and remodeling the cat boarding area which in my opinion was already sufficient. They stated a change of location was warranted because they had noticed the felines being uncomfortable near the cacophany of the canines boarding area. The consideration of the boarders comfort convinced me of their empathy of the pets. During the cruise, narratives and pictures were texted to me that assured me of the well being of my cats. I cannot begin to describe how they went out of their way to make their lengthy stay more than tolerable. After a 12 day stay, I picked up my cats and observed that they were in great condition and good spirits. As a matter of fact, when they'd arrived home, they appeared to be searching for and missing Emily. I'm elated that CCB&B will be the home away from home when needed. Thankyou Blair, Emily and staff!

They did a great job taking care of our dogs, even during a storm when they didn’t have power.

Highly recommend! This is the only place I’ve ever left my Bloodhound! It’s a beautiful place and the owners are friendly. My pup got car sick on the way in and they helped me with cleaning supplies to clean my Jeep. When I took her back she was very excited to go in which reassured that she’d had a great experience before! Great place!

We had to board our nervous 8 month old German Shepherd for the weekend. The young man working made friends with her. We appreciate the extra effort he took to make her comfortable. Great place to go if you need to board your fur baby.

Easy check in/out. My dog was happy and well cared for!

I would recommend touring the place before picking it. I'm not saying anything bad about the place. I would call to check on my dogs & had to wait until they called me back. But both dogs came home fine. I think if I had toured it I would've felt more comfortable. The owner just didn't make you feel very welcome.

Easy to work with and quick to respond. They had my black lab for around two weeks while I was traveling internationally and they gave multiple updates without being asked to. My dog was in excellent shape when I returned.

I dropped my dog off at 8:05am and by 4:00pm they were just starting on her, heed I made an appointment 3 weeks prior so this was not a walk in or last minute deal. My dog is a labordoodle who needed a summer cut and I wanted her shaved with her ears and tail left and just trimmed. When I got my dog back she was odd shaved and uneven. She has guard lines all through her body. She has nicks and bald spots and her feet were not trimmed, ears were not cleaned and she looks completely terrible like my pure bread dog has the mange. It was so bad I had to sit in my car and cry at the state of my baby. Also want to point out my Dog was brushed every other day and bathed every other week. She’s extremely taken care of and didn’t have any mats or anything and now she looks like a child Attempted to shave her. I’m so disappointed and disgusted at the care of my dog. Leaving her in a kennel for almost 7hrs then sped through the grooming for in less than 30 mins which for my 80lb dog that has rigorous grooming is insane and of course they charged me full price. Anyone who has to get special grooming for your breed please don’t go here. The picture of her with hair is what she looked like prior to these people butchering my poor baby.

Buddy was stress free and looks great! I wish we would have known about Spunky's Spa sooner. We have definitely been through the ringer with others....but no longer! We scheduled his next 6 week grooming right after the first, we are that confident with Spunky's.

I was in the neighborhood for work and I stopped into spunky’s spa. They allowed me to do a walk in and I showed them my shot records for Josie my beagle. They did an amazing job grooming her and giving her a bath. I highly recommended Spunky’s spa!

Both of the dogs pictured here were both clean and dry upon arrival. They stayed there for three days in total. When we picked them up on day four at 11:30am the kennel they were in had pee and poop in it. First off, when we filled out the application we made sure to specify to not board them together because they are baby’s and they are not fixed yet , the suppose to be white one is a boy and the black one is a girl when we picked them they were in the same kennel. We also left specific instructions for the black one it was to not keep her harnesses on her while in the kennel because she will chew it off if unsupervised and when we arrived the harness was bitten in half (as seen in the picture) and soaked in pee … as we’re both the dogs as I stated previously the suppose to be white dog isn’t white he’s yellow mind you they have only Been there for three nights the black one was also soaked in a strong Oder of pee. When we called to ask about why they were covered in pee and poop there response was that they were hard to handle because they were bitting but when we called several times to check in on them we were told they were doing fine no behavioral issues were mentioned, we did try calling at least 10 times throughout the three days they were there but each time no answer when we finally did get an answer we were told everything was fine as I stated before. We also asked why they were together when asked not to be the owner stated that the weekend staff must have not known to put them away separately so obviously information about animals is not being provided to the other workers as it should be which is unprofessional. So far we have been told that the money for the harness will be provided (as it should be).

Tequila just spent 17 days with Crystal and her staff. She was well taken care of. AND extra Pampered from Pedro. I visited a number of times prior to dropping her off and I just felt so welcomed and good vibes from the staff. A huge thank you to all whom loved our lil girl in our absence. So happy 😀 💞 Tequila will be back to visit.

They did a full groom on my dog coco and they dine a great job very friendly and nice place tok good care of her and got her looking cute really like the place and people 🙂 …

Very professional and very nice! Wanda did an amazing job on my baby, she truly loves what she does and treats your pet like her own. Will definitely continue to support spunkys spa!!

This boarder was recommended by our vet. Our beagle, Chloe spent three night there. First time we ever picked her up from a boarder and she was calm. She enjoyed her stay and did not get anxious. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our Chloe dog. We will be back. Very reasonable for per boarding.

If u can’t do big dogs just say that. We spent 75 to have you half ass wash our dog. She didn’t get trimmed like she was supposed to. Also she didn’t get properly demated until we were leaving and we asked you to fix it. It took 6 hours and it wasn’t worth it. Very disappointed.

Picked up our senior boy today after boarding him for 6 days & once again pleased as always! Chrystal & her staff take wonderful care of our old baby, which includes lots of special things ie diet, meds, help etc. wouldn’t leave our baby anywhere else bc he is loved & spoiled there just like he is at home.
