Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $22/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
First time boarding our two German Shepherds. We had a 9 day vacation planned and we're worried so much about how our doggies would do, how they would be when the get home, etc. Both our boys were great. They looked great and seemed very happy. The staff at Libery Hill/Pampered Paws were always very accommodating, even offering to send us text updates. We highly recommend!
Hello all. I’ve been boarding my doggie at LH for the past year typically when I have to travel overnight. Having said that, sometimes I board him because he is so happy there. As we drive down the road heading to LH, his ears perk up because he knows where he’s headed. The staff is always welcoming and R’s tail wags when he greets the staff. That is really what matters. They know his eating and sleeping habits and always give me a summary of his visit. On a recent visit he was on some medication and the staff at LH were on top of it. I know that when I drop him off, he’s in a excellent hands and gives me the peace of mind that he’s taken care of when I’m on the road. They are definitely a part of R’s extended family. :)
My dogs love it here and always come back healthy and happy.
Love this place. Little far from my house fir daily daycare but I board my dog there and they took her of her every time. I wish the best hung area was alittle bigger and cleaner
Great place that takes care of your pup. Have used multiple times for both kenneling and kennel/ training while away.
Just toured the facilities and i look forward to boarding my two dogs in the near future and recommending them to friends and family. Under new ownership and they have big plans. Im excited to see their completed upgrades and provide a much-needed service to this wonderful community.
*WARNING* I will simply state the facts. On 8/8/22 I boarded my 3 small Yorkies due to a out of state house hunting trip in which neither children nor dogs were allowed. My dogs were entrusted with the care of this facility until 8/20/22. We received a call on 8/16/22 in which we were informed that all of our dogs displayed symptoms of kennel cough. One dog was particularly unwell and was viewed as lethargic. We were asked if it would be ok if the dog could be scheduled to be seen by a veterinarian. We obliged and informed the facility of our local veterinarian's information. We received a confirmation call that informed us our dog would be seen by the vet on the following day 8/17/22. Our flight home had been delayed and we would not be home in time to retrieve "our babies" until after the facility had closed. The same evening on our way home from the airport we received another call informing us that our "pet was not doing well and not might make it through the evening if we did not retrieve him immediately". The "pet" in question was our beloved companion with no prior health issues to include a vet visit 3 days prior to being boarded with this facility. He entered this facility with a clean bill of health. At the time of retrievel our dog was found extremely dehydrated and hot to the touch, lethargic beyond movement, groaning, and could not walk nor move his extremities. The extreme nature of his condition was acknowledged and accompanied by a reminder of the bill due to the services rendered for the week of boarding. We rushed our baby to the nearest emergency veterinary facility in which he was diagnosed with sepsis pneumonia. Two days later accompanying a $5633.00 emergency veterinary bill, I was encouraged by the ER to contact the facility in order to establish a timeline of when the pneumonia had occured in order to make a life altering decision to allow my dog to continue life support or euthanize. No indefinite outlook could be diagnosed due to the lack of oxygen supplies to his lungs. He was in a oxygen supported kennel due to the lack of being able to breathe on his own. I was contacted by the owner after calling the facility. I inquired of the daily status of my dogs throughout their stay in which to establish the severity of not only the most ill but the other two diagnosed with health conditions. A timeline was not provided due to the owners inability to access those records "at the moment". I informed the owner of my dog's condition in which I was met with "I'm sorry" and akward silence.
It's hard to review the experience that your dog had while you weren't there, but as far as I can tell our dog had a blast for the week we boarded her here. The staff was very friendly and told us that she really enjoyed herself. The extra activities like swimming in the pool and hiking were exactly the kind of things she loves to do. So this was a great alternative to traditional boarding, though a bit out of the way for us. Obviously that's not their fault. Our dog came back very exhausted, which tells me she got plenty of exercise. Would definitely use them again for extended boarding.
Nice place, friendly staff, but I was misled on the price. I was given a price over the phone for 2 dogs, and when I picked them up I was charged per dog doubling what I had expected to pay. Won't do that again
I went to check this place out to board my dog. I found it to be filthy. I know the dogs play outside & bring dirt in but the walls, ceiling, windows & even the office was dirty. Years of dirt. It was hard to find the front door. The property was nice but unfortunitly I could not leave my dog there. ☹
We’ve been using Animal Friends Pampered Paws since it was named Liberty Hill Pet Resort. Our dog Neptune has always been anxious - he’s reactive to other dogs and slow to warm up to new people, so he had a very hard time at other boarding kennels. but everyone at AFPP takes the time to gain his trust, and he LOVES going there. We take advantage of the “loner” package to get him some isolation from the other dogs and playtime with his favorite humans. We trust them absolutely to keep him safe and happy while he’s away. He is always excited to arrive, and happy and healthy when we bring him home. It’s well worth driving by other kennels to get him the care he needs at AFPP!
Our dog Lily has been coming here since she was a pup. She is very familiar with all aspects of the facility. She has participated in Puppy Class, Obedience Class, Barn Hunt, Dock Diving, Doggie Daycare and her personal favorite - swimming. I love that she has so many opportunities to be active and use her brain when she is there. A shout out to Rachel, who knows her very well. We appreciate all of the staff who give her their time and attention.
I bring my pup, Boone, to daycare maybe once a week just so he can get some energy out and play with other dogs. He met his best friend there and loves going. When I ask "Do you want to go to daycare?", Boone runs outside and sits next to the car. He is very well taken care of and always comes home exhausted. If I ever need to leave him for an extended period of time, I would choose Animals Friends' Pampered Paws.
I can’t say enough good things about Animal Friends’ Pampered Paws in Bealeton, VA! Our beloved dog, Buttercup, has been visiting for 11 years, and the care she receives is exceptional. Rachel and Shawn have consistently gone above and beyond to make sure Buttercup feels comfortable and loved. Rachel’s warm demeanor and attention to detail always put us at ease, while Shawn’s expertise and genuine affection for animals shine through in every interaction. From grooming to playtime, we trust them completely with Buttercup’s care. It’s clear that the entire team is dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for every pet. We’re so grateful for their outstanding service and wouldn’t dream of taking Buttercup anywhere else!
We are new to the area and were nervous about leaving our 6 month old puppy at a boarder for the first time. After calling around multiple other boarders in the area we decided to try Pampered Paws. It was important for us to support a facility that assumes dogs need outside time and it is included in the price, unlike others we reached out to. When we came to drop him off for the first time, they let us take him back to see the kennel and help get him settled, which was so appreciated. Not only that, but they sent us pictures and videos of our boy outside playing with other dogs, which eased our concerns, especially my kids who were terribly worried about him. During his second stay an employee reached out to make sure of what time we were coming to pick him up, being willing to stick around a few extras minutes to accommodate us. When we went to pick him up, he was outside with a group of dogs, with an employee present providing love, attention and supervision. We have been very impressed with Pampered Paws and are so relieved to have found somewhere we feel at peace leaving our pup.
I love this place! The pool is such a great feature. My dog Murphy gets so excited when we get to the road leading up to the resort. We will definitely keep coming back!
My dog loves going to daycare at Animal Friends' Pampered Paws. The staff are all great and love animals. My dog gets lots of outdoor playtime and socializing with other dogs whenever he's there. I would highly recommend.
Fabulous place for training, swimming, field rental, grooming, boarding, day care, and play dates. Both of our pups love coming here and I highly recommend this establishment!
Our long coated Akita Beau loves coming to AFPP. We use their boarding services and Beau gets the extra large kennel! The staff is always excited to see Beau too. They went above and beyond and took him to their vet when needed and stayed there with him, and kept me updated the whole time. Would highly recommend!
The Barn Hunt & Nose Fun classes offered at AFPP are Top Notch! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable with incredible resumes and the students are welcoming! The offering of classes, run-thrus and trials means we always have an opportunity to train. My dog has found her favorite game!
Karen is a great sitter for our pets, she came before we left town to get acquainted with our dog and 4 cats. She was very thorough in going through the routines that they have. This is the second time that we have used the service and will definitely use them again. I have already recommended her to couple of friends.
Karen has been petsitting for my dogs for 15 years. She is exceptional, reasonable, and the dogs and cats love her.
Great Service. We needed someone on short notice and Champion was right there ready to help. Our dog was well cared for and enjoyed her visits. Very reasonable fees.
