Robin was as wonderful as all the other reviews have covered. She was very communicative and worked very hard to make sure our sulky dog ate, which we really appreciated. Both our dog and our cat immediately warmed to her and decided she was a friend, which I think is always a great judge of character!

Seek new sights and new friends, both two and four legs.
Ed did a great job with our dog, Sadie. The house looked like no one had been there and Sadie really took to him. Thanks, Ed

Joyful, well-employed, traveler in the “best half” of life!
Lisa was a total rockstar, taking over for the last leg of our multi-month sitter extravaganza. She was super organized, showered the pets with love, and left the house looking better than it did when we first moved in. Highly recommend, and would love to have her back any time. Thanks Lisa!

Cheers to travel with peace of mind!
Sarah was fantastic. She took excellent care of my pets and even looked out for my house by sending me pictures of a car that parked on my property that shouldn’t have been there. She’s so pleasant and thoughtful, sending me pictures of my Great Dane and cat. She even let my Great Dane sleep with her (he’s used to sleeping with me) which shows just how wonderful she is and patient since he’s a bed hog. I truly hope she will sit for me again in the future - she’s an absolute gem.

A Trustworthy and Loving Caretaker for Your Furry Friend and Home!
This was Martin's second (or third?) sit. He did a 3 1/2 month sit last spring and a month long sit this time. We love him. He is very organized, a good communicator and keeps the house clean. We'd have him back any time.

Peace of mind while you are away!
Jane and Michael were phenomenal house guests. They took very good care of all 3 of our dogs while we were gone for a week. Great communication at all times, never had to worry. Left our house very clean as if they were never there. Wouldn't hesitate to invite them back!

Mature, Reliable, and dedicated couple
Susan and Peter were wonderful house and pet sitters! They walked our 3 dogs and played with them in our fenced yard. They kept my garden and house plants watered and they left the house spotless. We were in communication the whole week and they sent pictures of our dogs daily. We couldn’t be happier with the care they gave our dogs! Susan even bathed all 3 the day we were returning! We highly recommend Susan and Peter.

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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 for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $20/day per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
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 Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I highly recommend Canine Cottage Salem if you are looking for daycare, boarding or grooming! We started coming in September and my dog absolutely loves it. He gets his energy out, gets to socialize and has so much fun. The staff is always super friendly and they take great care of him while he is there.
Summer did an amazing job grooming our new puppy, Calli! We were nervous about who to trust and wanted to make sure future grooming weren’t miserable for her/us since this was her first grooming, but we all had an amazing experience! She looked amazing just in time for traveling and Christmas. Booking (especially to be right before the holidays) was so simple and convenient. Calli will definitely be back and we will definitely be recommending Canine Cottage Salem to friends and family.
Maizy has the best time at Canine Cottage in Salem. She is exhausted from playing all day. Such a great way to socialize dogs. The staff is pretty terrific too!!
My dog has been coming here for daycare since the beginning of the year and absolutely loves it. The staff is great and very attentive, we love how they post daily pictures of the dogs playing outside. My dog also sees Summer for grooming and she is amazing too! Highly recommend
Canine Cottage has always been a great place for us to board our Great Dane, but when the new owners took over in 2024 it has improved even more! We felt so comfortable with leaving our pup. They were so accommodating to our dog and us! Our pup is about 140 pounds and can be a handful, but they handled him with ease and made him and us feel very comfortable! You will not be disappointed when using their services.
The new owners are amazing. They go above and beyond to meet each dogs personal needs. I was extremely pleased with Summer who groomed our dog. Upon arriving, the facility is very well kept and clean. We were greeted by the owners who welcomed my hyper boy with a treat and some good belly rubs. We will continue to use Canine Cottage for all of grooming and boarding needs. Highly recommend.
Summer did SOOO GOOD on my dog. I’ve never been happy with his haircuts when he comes back from the groomer and i was so amazed today. She took really good care of him and was really nice! Will definitely be my new spot to take him! Thank you so much!
Rebecca and Corey are two amazing owners. From the moment I walked in, I felt comforted by talking to them about my dogs and previous situations at another facility. After scheduling a trial daycare day, they loved my fur babies as well. I felt totally at ease, leaving my 2 girls for a week, to be boarded in their care. I would highly recommend! 12 out of 10!
This grooming facility is GREAT and Summer English is awesome! She treats the dogs like they're her own. She is FANTASTIC!!!
We took our 8 month old rescued male Shih Tzu for grooming. The staff was kind, and attentive to our concerns with our Eolas. The cut was excellent. I recommend taking your fur babies to Canine Cottage.
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!
Beverly and her team are amazing!! They take care of all three of our fur babies. Oliver has just graduated from the puppy essentials program and it has made him a better dog. Thank you!
We just finished the premiere puppy program, and it was wonderful!! Beverly is a fantastic trainer and really took the time to make sure I understood what I needed to do for our puppy! I couldn't recommend her enough!!
I use The Well-Trained Dog & Pet Care For training and dog walking. We've had a great experience with training. Beverly has met us where we are at and provided helpful tips and feedback. She’s flexible with scheduling and has great follow up. I’m most impressed with my dog walkers! my dogs get walked 2x a day 3x a week! The photos provided always show them happy or out exploring! I love hearing about their new animal encounters and antics they get into. Scheduling is easy and report cards provided. I specifically would like to express my gratitude for the care provided during the recent tropical storms. Instead of canceling when there was a flood warning and intermittent tornado warnings. They still came and looked after my dogs. The service they provide is top-notch and they go above and beyond. Thank you!
We LOVE the team at “The Well-Trained Dog and Pet Care.” We worked with them to train our puppy in 2019 and have had them pet sit for us for the past 5 years. They are so reliable and you can book/pay online!
Beverly and her crew do a fantastic job of caring for your pets. Feeding, scooping, and providing details from each visit. Very comforting to know your critters are in good hands when you can't be there for them.
I can not say enough positive things about Beverly and her help with my new dog! She is patient and explains things to you to help you understand your dog better. Because of her, I was able to teach my boy with a better understanding of his ways. Bev comes to your home environment, which is the best way to teach. She came with us on our trail walk and even met us at Home Depot to guide us through meeting people. I highly recommend the Well-Trained Dog!
I especially want to praise Julie for the relationship she built with my dog over the weeks. I’m a travel nurse, so we all knew unfortunately the dog walks for Izzy would come to an end. It was sad for all of us. I could clearly see how much Izzy loved Julie and it was truly heart warming to see someone care for my dog and love her the way I do. She was great!
Beverly did an amazing job training and working with my 2 Pomeranians. She was very helpful, reliable, and informational! Thank You Beverly!
We have an Australian Shepherd. He is a little over 6 months old. He was a wild puppy. Then we found Beverly from The Well Trained Dog. She was wonderful and told us a lot about his breed that we didn’t know. He now sits, comes when called, gives you five, shakes and lays down. I can’t believe how far he has come. Our trainer Beverly is very dependable, and really works well with our dog. She also let us borrow a few games and training gear. Would highly recommend.
I highly recommend Beverly Amsler of the Well Trained Dog and Pet Care. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and how best to train different breeds. I have a small havapoo which, given her small size, means some exercises had to adjusted for her. My dog loved working with Beverly and I think would have gone home with her if that was an option. I now have the basics for continued training to have a Well trained dog.
If you are looking for a vacation stay for your beloved companion while you yourself need to get away, then this is the place. Do you have a little dog who does not want to be around the big dogs? No problem they have their very own cozy cottage. Do you have a big dog that needs to unload energy? No problem they have their very own large play area. Do you have training issues and need a professional guidance? No problem the owner is a certified trainer who loves all types of dogs and is absolutely amazing. Are there days when you just do not have enough time to play with your pet and would like him/her to get socialization? No problem. They have doggie day care. There are many needs that the Bigger Brain can fulfill all you have to do is call and make an appointment. I absolutely love it there.
I can leave my two dogs at the Bigger Brain and know they are getting expert care. When I drop them off they run to the kennel gate with tails wagging. When I pick them up, they are relaxed and clean. Debbie knows dogs and gives great attention to knowing yours. Can't recommend enough.
My two dogs were cared for as if they were their own. Well cared for facility with lots of room for the dogs to run and play. I also loved that they allowed them to kennel together. One of my dogs is a rescue dog with high anxiety, if he had to be in a kennel alone, I wouldn't have enjoyed my vacation worrying about him. It was a great experience, we will definately return!
We took five dogs to board. When we got home, we picked up only four. One of our dogs had bloat in the past. We advised the owner of this fact and explained how important it was to use a ball in his dog bowl to make him slow down when eating. While we were gone we received a call advising us that our dog was dying! The owner wanted to know if we wanted to spend additional money on a “sinking ship.” He was a member of our family! Not any kind of ship! We advised her to take him to the vet. We received a call from the vet letting us know that there wasn’t any hope. We suspect what happened is that the ball was never used; he ended up with bloat again; the owner didn’t recognize the signs of bloat; and she waited too long to take our precious Luca to the vet. If you value your dog’s life, don’t take them to this kennel!
Our pups are always happy to go here! We used to go to a nearby kennel but felt the owner sometimes hard to work with. Debbie is also so friendly and accommodating and our dogs are well cared for.
We, and our dogs have relied on The Bigger Brain and it’s proprietor, Debbie Duttenhofer, for at least 15 years (through several locations). Blitzen loves going to Miss Debbie’s and we always feel very secure in trusting Debbie and the BB staff with our most important family member!
great people who care about your dog... Love these guys. Would recommend them for sure!
Great place. Lots of running room and my dog did fine.
LOVE this place and Debbie.....have learen alot from and got alot more to learn....Thanks Debbie
Nice place and good service.
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.
Our dog struggles with reactivity, resource guarding, and anxiety, and finding boarding for her is a constant challenge. Ann Marie agreed to meet with us and give our dog a try when nobody else in the area would. She took the time to meet with us on multiple occasions to create positive associations and get a feel for how to best handle our dog. Ultimately, we had a successful 5 day boarding experience! Thank you Ann Marie and team for all that you do!
I had to board my dog for the first time ever and he had the best experience. Every person I interacted with was so kind and helpful. I did almost all my communication by e-mail and they were very responsive and helpful. Even with my appointment being very late notice and having to move it a day. They never acted like it was a burden and were always willing to help. I really cannot say enough how much it meant to deal with people who were so warm and welcoming. It really helped alleviate my anxiety of boarding my boy. I would certainly recommend this kennel.
We have used County Air Vacation Kennels exclusively since 2017 and our beloved dogs have received exceptional care there. Both my husband and I could not recommend Country Air more highly. The owner and staff are keenly attuned to the health and well-being of the dogs they care for. Roanoke is lucky to have such facility.
Country Air Vacation Kennels has been AMAZING to me and my dog, Conan. Conan is not friendly to people other than his own family and I wasn’t sure if I’d ever find a kennel to care for him when we vacationed. Ann-Marie has been a true skilled professional from the beginning. She took a chance with Conan and has taken great care of him for the last 3 years every time we have needed her. I can’t give her enough stars here!
We so grateful for Anne-Marie and her wonderful staff at Country Air Vacation Kennels! She's been caring for our dog for years and we can't imagine taking him anywhere else. The personal attention and care, the extensive knowledge and experience of Anne-Marie and her staff, the professionalism, and the love for animals makes this the perfect place to take our fur baby.
Ann-Marie is such a fantastic person to kennel your dog with! She really helps alleviate the stress of leaving your dog by knowing they're being left with someone who will truly care for your dog and has their best interest and comfort in mind. Highly recommend Country Air Vacation Kennels to anyone in need of a place for your dog to stay. Also worth noting that Ann-Marie is accepting of reactive and nervous dogs and offers special treatment for those that need it!
Ask them about their training option, it's absolutely worth it! Such a wonderful place and fantastic owner. The location is also magnificent, it's much better than in a city setting. The dogs get near-constant attention, and stimulation. My dog was a little nervous at first, but when I came back she didn't want to leave. Update: I've used this fine outfit for several months now, because my dog absolutely loves them! She knows as soon as I turn onto the road that she's in for a fun little vacation with her doggo friends, and a staff that truly cares. 6/5 stars, you can rest easy knowing nothing bad will happen to your furry friends.
I cannot say enough good things about Country Air Vacation Kennels. I first met Anne-Marie when my dog trainer was looking for well-trained, low-energy dogs for my dog to socialize with. My dog was never properly socialized as a puppy and was fearful of almost everything, including humans and other dogs. Anne-Marie brought in the perfect dog to compliment my nervous one. Well-trained, well-behaved, polite, and low-energy. Then, when I was looking for a boarding place, a friend of mine told me to check out Country Air because they had such good experiences there in the past. Surprise surprise, Anne-Marie was the person running it! I was incredibly nervous to leave my dog there, as I hadn't boarded her before and because by nature my dog is incredibly scared and nervous. Ann-Marie did absolutely everything to make me and my dog feel comfortable, up to and including allowing me to check in on my dog multiple times to make sure she was okay. My dog even surprised me and ended up making friends with some of the more low-energy dogs while I was away! I've left my dog at Country Air twice now and every time I am blown away with how much time and care they put into the animals they oversee. I am and will continue to be a repeat customer here. If you are nervous about leaving your dog for the first time (or even the 100th time), just know that your dog is safe in their capable, caring hands.
Rural kennel but not too far out. Owner and employees are super friendly. I have boarded my dog twice and the whole process was smooth. The dogs have some play time everyday so I paid extra to have my dog bathed. We will be going back!
Country Air Kennels is a caring and affordable boarding option for Roanoke area residents. The new owner is a certified dog trainer and groomer and makes certain that our dogs are well taken care of and safe while they are staying at the kennel. We have 3 dogs and have used Ann-Marie’s private boarding services for years prior to her purchase of Country Air and have never been anything but pleased with her level of customer service. Our dogs are always excited to go see her and tired from playing and having fun when we get them back! My mom also uses Country Air for her dog and the staff was kind and flexible when she needed to change her return date due to weather issues this past January. A hidden jewel in the Roanoke Valley.
We have been clients of Clip and Dip for over 30 years! Our dogs have all benefited from excellent grooming appointments with caring staff members and have been treated to lots of care and love when we have boarded them there. This is always a safe home for our little pups when we are away. We have had a teacup poodle, a cocker spaniel, and a Yorkie in the past. Currently our young Yorkie is enjoying her grooming and boarding with our favorite Clip and Dip!
Don't bother calling for an appointment unless you have a Golden Retriever or Husky. Tried calling for an appointment for my small dog today and they said they weren't interested in our business. Won't be calling back.
Took my 4m/o wheaten terrier here for his first professional grooming. They did a fantastic job! They called me as soon as he was finsihed so I could pick him up, and he didn't seem super stressed when I picked him up. All the ladies were very nice even though they were very busy. And not to mention, his haircut was fantastic. Having been a groomer for many years, it was hard to allow someone else to take over now that I don't have the time to do it myself. I will definitely be bringing my pup back!
Excellent! They really show their Love for your pet. The Best haircut, hands down. I have finally found Murphy a home. They even put a Bow tie on him. How cute!!
I use to work here years ago I recently boarded my anxiety issue dogs with them and they took such good care of them. I picked them up and they didn't even stink.
This place completely rocks! All the ladies are so professional, yes I'm talking about little doggies that misbehave for their haircut. Lol! Calm cool collected. That's the best way to describe the ladies that work at clip and dip. There are rates that are completely Fair! If you want your dog taken care of I would strongly urge you to try clip and dip.
We have had Jamie take care of Buddy for years and he’s always so happy to see her! Looks like a puppy when he’s done… Early drop off and friendly staff!
Love this place. Professional caring individuals. Been taking my dog there for years! Wouldn't go anywhere else.
To preface, I have had my dog (11 lb. Miniature Schnauzer) groomed professionally every 4 weeks since she was a puppy and she is brushed out at home as well in between grooms. I have never had any issues with temperament, matting, etc. She loves getting groomed. I took her to get a full groom for the second time today at Clip and Dip. I was surprised when they called me after she had been bathed and told that they were going to have to completely shave her schnauzer skirt due to matting. I informed them that I had brushed her prior to dropping her off and knew she was not matted. They said that there wasn’t an option and she needed to be cut. I immediately drove over there to see for myself . When getting there, the groomer brought my dog out and pointed to her feet and said rudely that she was matted there. I felt her fur and felt nothing but needing to be brushed after her bath. The groomer proceeded to put a wire comb deep in her fur and pull hard so that my dog winced and said see it’s matted. I immediately said that we were done and left. I have had multiple years of experience with the miniature schnauzer breed. For a second opinion I immediately took her to another groomer and they stated that absolutely she did not need to be shaved down and she just needed to be brushed. Clip and Dip didn’t want to take the time to take care of my dog professionally even after I told them I would pay an extra charge if there was one for brushing. I would definitely not recommend you take your long hair pups to this groomer. I don’t appreciate the mistreatment of my dog in front of me to try and make a point in regards to matting. Terrible experience.
Jamie is wonderful!! My dog is always nervous outside of the house and he has a back injury that makes him a little difficult😊 Jamie has always been so patient and caring with him. She always does a great job. We really appreciate her kindness! Highly recommend!! …
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
First time taking my dog here, Jack should’ve knew it was a red flag 🚩 when they want you to sign a form. she cut my dogs on his chest. 🥹😱😡 The haircut is a lot shorter than what I asked for also, his hair is uneven and a bald spot on his ear. she claims that he had it there before. My dog never had a bald spot on his ear. She told my husband, he was very good when she groomed him. Never coming here again please be aware of this place. ⛔️ 🛑 ❌
When our previous dog got older and needed extra care when we were away, we trusted About Pets Center with her needs. We now have a new dog (a puppy). We knew from day one we would take him to About Pets Center. Because our new dog is from a social breed, we take him at least twice a week for daycare so he can see his dog friends! We have had him groomed there, and we aim to have his nails done monthly (they come out smooth and rounded unlike the jagged splits that the vet produced!). The owners will help educate you on every aspect they can about your dog (a puppy is new to us!). Our dog loves to visit and shakes with excitement on our way through the door. He loves About Pets Center!
I board my fur baby here whenever we go out of town as they are always willing to accommodate my needs if they have the space. They take excellent care of him. Normally he doesn’t want go with strangers but he walked right off with the owner down the hallway so calmly and acted like he was right at home and didn’t even bark at him. That made me feel at ease as I knew he was in good hands.
Fantastic staff! Our dog loves day care and boarding there. Victoria is a great groomer!
I appreciate the expert care of my my Lukey, my old, diabetic Yorkie, at About Pets Center. Victoria, the owner is a Yorkie specialist and my Lukey's needs are met fully with precision and love by Victoria and her son Brian. The first time I took Lukey, Victoria told me that "he is very appreciative." The only way one can understand that is if they know their business.
Our dog got groomed here when she was a puppy. When our groomer from the last 8 years quit there was no question we wanted to take her back to about pet center. It's a little out of the way for us but worth it for a quality groomer!
My fur babies Stevie and Holly LOVE to go to About Pets Center. Victoria and Brian are always very professional and they are always accommodating in day care stays and when I go out of town for vacations and Stevie and Holly need care. I have taken Stevie, who is a Cockalier to Victoria since she was 3 months old. Victoria has groomed her beautifully for 5 1/2 years. Stevie loves Brian and to runs to him as soon as she sees him! Holly Noelle, is my Yorkie who is 2 1/2...she is a Radford Yorkie! She is gorgeous and loves to visit and be groomed by Victoria. She enjoys playing with the other Yorkies and has a great time. I highly recommend About Pets Center for safe professional care for your pets. I only trust Victoria and Brian to care for my babies. About Pets Center is the BEST in the Roanoke Valley!!!
I took one of my collies there June 15. She is ALWAYS excited to go. She is treated only slightly less well there than at home. The owner is very "hands-on", professional and expert. I have recommended them to many people and will gladly continue to do so. By the way, the pricing on grooming is comparable, if not better, than at the pet "super stores" in the area. I'm not surprised that I frequently meet pet owners there who have traveled hours just to get the services from About Pets.
Contacted “About Pets Center” about my aunts boarded animal. Explained to them about my emergency situation and the owner of the company “Victoria Radford” took care of us. I was able to pay over the telephone and Ms. Radford took care of my family. Thank you Ms. Radford for taking care of our family during this rough times.
I want to start by saying that I’ve never met a team of groomers so enthusiastic and so open to getting to know you and your pet. My first experience was amazing!! They made me feel like I was leaving my baby with family. I had no worries at all!! They were so caring and my baby loved it! First impressions are everything and this one will stay with me forever! In a Great Way!!! My Lana will definitely be back! Thank you guys !! Y’all are amazing ! Keep up the great work!!
Granna's Place is the next best thing to having my pups at home with me. She takes such good care of them and even sends me pictures and videos while I'm away.
We had an excellent experience with Granna’s Place boarding our cavalier princess….. Penny. I felt comfortable from the second we dropped her off and knew she was in good hands. Her home is clean and she lives on a beautiful piece of property adequately fenced. We will always be calling Granna in the event we have to leave our precious pup. Thank you!
Granna’s Place was the perfect place for our Boston Terrrier! We were able to board on short notice for the weekend and felt that she was treated like a member of the family!
I have never felt so comfortable leaving my dog with someone as I did when I dropped him off at Granna's Place. It feels like you're leaving them at a family member's home. I think he was actually sad to be picked up. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We already have his next stay booked for August.
Kind and wonderful to all animals. VERY clean home! Granna is a very dear friend of mine.
Excellent experience! Thor was very happy at Granna's place!
Thank you, Jacob!
Went to take my dog this morning and was greeted by 4 employees who seemed to he fairly nice. As I went to hand off her leash to them, I asked a simple question. Is my dog going to be stuck in a crate all day? They said no until the older lady came at me rudely asking didn't you take a tour? I work every weekday until 5 so of course I didn't take a tour. Then she proceeds to tell me they are in crates 2 hours at a time with 30 minutes of playtime in between then back in the crates 2 hours again. As I'm telling them I don't think that's going to work for me she got offended as if I should be ok with paying 30 dollars a day for them to not watch her and leave her sitting alone scared in a crate for over half the time she is there. If you're looking for a doggie daycare, this isn't it I promise you, another place taking your money to lock your dog up and profit off of that. I could already hear all the dogs barking locked in crates already first thing this morning as I arrived. Tell me how this is good for them to be locked up first thing when they get there while all the employees stand at the front doing nothing? Keep your dogs at home before you bring them here. Complete junk
Training for agility competition, I really enjoy working with the trainer and learning how to communicate with my dogs to run the agility courses properly and safely.
Field of Dreams takes care of our little girl at day school and we have also enrolled and completed training classes with more in the future and hopefully agility training. The day school is great (Ryleigh told me) and the training is really effective. If you have a dog, try out Field of Dreams!!
I just want you to know if u bring ur dog here it will sit in a cage the whole day it's like a prison for dogs. I love how the website looks and how u think it would be but at any time there are 50 to 70 dogs there in cages run by 4 or 5 little kids. The dogs are rotated and get to play with other dogs for 1 hour. The kennels have no toys water bowls anything it's disgusting. Please don't bring ur dogs here if ur gonna pay someone to keep ur dog in a cage ur better off doing it yourself. Have videos of full rooms of dogs in smaller cages then they should be in just barking I honestly couldn't believe it was that disgusting and sick. It's like u see dogs in the spca cages. This is no different. You're gonna pay for ur dogs to sit in a cage all day. Pls bring them elsewhere the extra money is worth it I know a few dog daycare that actually are what they say. This place is trashy. Reminded me of a spca commercial with the dogs stuck in cages all day.
Field of Dreams is the cleanest, best doggie day care in southwest VA. They truly c a r e about your dog(s). Their happiness and safety are of prime concern while they are in their care. Five Stars
Personally I really do this place. I've just started picking my dog to the classes and we've had a really good time. People are very nice and it's just a very relaxed setting with you and your dog can learn at it piece of the hot dog to behave hats off to him. I'm looking forward to the upcoming classes and how it suggested to anybody that wants to train their dog properly
They are so amazing I have been recommending them to everyone. They have cute little report cards sent home that tell you who they played with and any one on one activities. Hours and price are so fair. The only problem is the pick up situation. Only one person at a time in the office to pick up dogs so if multiple people are there you have to wait behind a yellow line surrounding the door so in bad weather it will be unpleasant but it is in place for the dog’s safety so I totally get it. It just is tedious and sometimes time consuming so it’s better to be aware and prepared.
Wonderful trainers and staff. I've attended classes and done day school. They always follow up with emails which is more than expected. They really do care!
Great doggy daycare. They look after our little guy and he’s always pumped to go. We like how they are structured and reinforce manners. It’s not a free for all but your pup still gets plenty of exercise and stimulation.
Very helpful staff. Karen, the owner, is also really knowledgeable and has been a great resource for my wife and I as we begin training our first puppy together. We are in the puppy training classes. We plan on coming back for future classes as my pup grows up.
