Cat Sitters in Chesterfield County

I started bringing my 2 year old beagle rescue here a few weeks ago and she really seems to love it. The staff genuinely seem to love the dogs and I know she’s being taken good care of. It’s helped her socialization with other dogs and people too. Also glad to have an option where she can be boarded at the same place when needed.

This is truly an amazing place to take your dog for socialization, playful, exercise, and safe boarding. I have seen tremendous benefits for my senior lab mix who needed two CCL surgeries one on each leg. The second one did not go so well and the vet thought that they would need to re-operate. We chose to try to strengthen his legs by exercising him. Once he was strong enough, I decided to try out Dogtopia to allow him to run around and play with other dogs to see how this would help. After enrolling him into Dogtopia Play-school, he was able to exercise and run around with the dogs during the day which I attest allowed him to recover without another operation! He is now as active as he was when he was a puppy and is fully recovered from his second surgery! I cannot thank the owners and their staff enough for everything they have done to help my dog recover and have a safe place to socialize and board with other dogs. They pay close attention to your pets needs and group dogs together with like-minded pups to encourage play at your dog’s pace wherever they are in their life. I highly recommend you stop by for a consultation visit and see for yourself how much fun and how healthy Dogtopia is for your pups!

The staff are very attentive. My dog isn't much of a "dog's dog," but she LOVES her Dogtopia people. I love the special tou he's like the themed pictures and daily treats. Pricing is great, and spa services are well timed. My dog comes home so very happy after each boarding experience. Staff makes everything so easy!

Dogtopia of Chesterfield is excellent! My girlfriend takes her 2 dogs here, and they take excellent care of Zoey and Logan. Logan loves the pool, and Zoey loves all the play and naps her little heart can cram in a day. The chance to play with lots of dogs has helped them both tremendously with socialization and their high energy. I've thing I really like about their setup is that they have several rooms, with different energy levels, so if your pup is a little shy or high energy, they'll be moved around to a room that matches their energy. If you have a high energy dog, or one that could use more time around dogs to learn how to "dog", I highly recommend Dogtopia, both the Chesterfield and Midlothian locations

I really love it so far. It feels affordable for what is offered and the care and attention the dogs receive. The staff learned my dog’s name fairly quickly, gave me feedback on her behavior and experience in the first week, and I love that there’s a 2 hr rest period for ALL the dogs. I feel like my dog is safe and cared for.

Best at Boarding and Caring for our Pet when we cannot care for her Dogtopia puts our mind at ease and it's Zoey home away from home. Go check them out you and your pet will be glad you did.

They keep the dog area very clean and the staff are very friendly. I had Max a German Shepard brushed out they did an excellent job. Max loves it there.

Love taking my dog to this particular Dogtopia. The staff is amazing. They feel like family. Truly dog (and people!) lovers. My dog is always so happy when we get there, and happy (and exhausted!!) when I pick him up!! It makes me feel at peace know he’s safe and loved…

My dog was attacked here and nothing was ever communicated to me the whole time. Huge lack of accountability on the staff and management let me know they have too many dogs to do anything about it. They told me he was “playing hard”

I love how all of the staff treats my dog as if it were their own. My dog is always overly anxious when I pull into their driveway and can't wait to go inside. I love the treat days and fun things their do every month and especially the activity calendar which shows all they do to make the dogs happy. I love the hours they are open that fits into any schedule. I love the bath days as it makes it easy to keep my dog clean. The extra services offered are extremely helpful for the dog owner. I love the extra things Dogtopia does for the neighborhood schools and shelters and gives the dog owners the opportunity to participate in the giving which is a feel good moment. Simply speaking, I love everything about Dogtopia of Chesterfield,

Our dogs LOVE Pet Paradise - Chesterfield. The staff is very familiar with all of the dogs and give individual attention, even during group play time. Our pups even have their favorite staff in Paige, Taylor, Josh, Rowan & Rebecca. They are like their second family and we wouldn't trust our pups to anyone else. We absolutely love when they come home with pictures for the day.

Great place for all or half day 'dog daycare'. Buzzby was there for 1/2 day yesterday and came home happy and tired. I'm definitely going to schedule another one. Maybe 1x/week going fwd. 😁 …

Took our dogs here for the first time last week. Their customer service is incredible. Facility was clean. They called with a concern that has about one of our dogs limping. They sent pictures. When we picked them up they gave us a report card on both dogs. They nailed our dogs temperaments. We wanted to board our dogs for a 10 day trip but in order for your dog to get a lot of play time you have to pay for a day pass as well as the boarding fee which would be $88 a day. That's steep! We decided to go elsewhere. We may use them for an overnight or weekend trip in the future.

You guys take care very well of my dog ,he came home very happy he sleep thru the whole night 🤣 🤣 and I wants to thanks destinee may and Kelly for the care they give to Luca , thanks …

I had such high hopes with this facility and was so disappointed. The communication in the beginning was wonderful, they were flexible and it was easy to add an extra day when we decided to leave a day early to visit family out of state. Two days before we were to drop our dog off at 6:30am, they called me to go over a few things and let me ask questions which I thought was great! I was told that I could arrive 10 to 15 minutes early if I needed to ask any further questions. On this call, I did outright say that we will be 10 hours away and needed to know the policy if we couldn’t make it back by 7pm to get her in time. I was told to just call them, they’d charge an extra day and it would be no big deal. On the day we drop her off, we get to Pet Paradise at 6:10am which I understand was a little earlier than planned since they said to arrive 10-15 minutes early and her reservation drop off was at 6:30am. We knocked on the door and the two girls inside completely ignored us. We decided to just walk our dog around for ten minutes to kill time before our 10 hour drive when one of the girls came outside, went to her car, and pretended we weren’t there before going back inside and locking the door. I knocked again and was ignored again. We stood outside with our dog and six year old daughter for ten more minutes before a very rude woman finally opened the door and let us in. She had known we were out there the entire time. I explained that I was told to arrive early to ask questions and she kind of waved me off. Because of the promotion they were doing for first timers, I verified that the grooming and Furever Connect was on the schedule for my dog for free. She said it was and that I’d be receiving a picture of my dog every day which I appreciated since this was my first time boarding her and she’s just 11 months old. I’ve had her since she was a baby and thought they’d take very good care of her. We go on our trip and I wasn’t receiving any pictures as I was told. I called multiple times every day to only get the voicemail, none of them were returned, and on the third day, I finally got someone to answer and she said I was misinformed and I was only going to get pictures on one day. I had checked the website and the board in the lobby and it said Furever Connect was a “DAILY communication package”. I was too irritated to get into it with the woman since it was too late at that point. I needed to contact them again because we weren’t going to make it back on time to get our dog the day we planned. I had to call multiple times a day for two more days before I finally reached someone to let them know because I didn’t want to be a customer who just doesn’t come get their dog and not tell them. They extended her stay by one more day and we finally get home to pick her up. My dog, being 11 months old, is very bubbly, energetic, and doesn’t have a bad bone in her body. When she got home, all she wanted to do was sleep and was incredibly scraped up. Her two front paws had bloody scrapes and so did the backs of her legs. I expected some of that since she’d be playing with a lot of other dogs but one of them looked like another dog took a chunk out of her skin. She was also NOT groomed. She came home very dirty and her nails weren’t cut. Again, I get that it was for free and I didn’t pay for the service, but with the lack of communication and not receiving what I told I would and the condition my dog was in when she got home? I’d never board her here again. Edited to add: our dog now has kennel cough and so does our older dog who has to be taken to the vet today, despite all dogs being required to have the vaccination for bordatella.

This was an awful experience for our Yorkie. We were first time customers and picked our dog up who had feces on his behind. They had to a wash and go on him. When he got in the car he stunk so bad that we had to wash him when we got home. Then they gave us back a brand new blanket back with feces all on it. I'm sorry but it was clear that our dog didn't the ample attention needed. I had to call to see when our dog would be in playground playtime. They were unable to share specific times not even a time range. The manager did let me know once I called when the time he would be going out. Trust me it was only 10 minutes of play time. I'm not convinced of the 30 minutes play time 2x day. Also I'm convinced he was fed properly as instructed. After talking to the manager there was no compensation and remorse. I'm sorry but didn't see paradise but hell with our first experience.

I am not one to leave reviews, but I felt it was necessary after the experience I had leaving my GSD here for 4 days and 3 nights. My dog stayed in the VIP suites (his first time ever boarding). I monitored his room camera consistently to see how he was adapting. The first night Maverick had an accident in his room, due to being potty trained on grass. After having to walk in his own bowel movements due to his size and the room not being very big… Maverick’s paws got the bedding dirty. He had to lay on that bedding through out the night and next day. Maverick was signed up for day Camp that morning and was never evaluated. I called 3x with the phone going to voicemail and leaving a voice message. I had a previous Regional Manager call on my behalf due to No response from my voicemail. I expressed my concerns about still seeing his dirty bedding in his room and Maverick not being taken to camp. I also noticed his food bowl was only in his room for about an hour. My dog grazes and does not eat much as is, especially when he is stressed. So this gave him no time to eat. I called to change his feeding to 3x a day to give him more opportunity to eat after learning they don’t “free feed.” I packed him 9 bags of dry food and 4 cans of wet food. He came home with 4 bags of dry food and 2 cans of wet food. Which means he was not fed properly. He should of came home with NO food, even if he didn’t eat it all which was expected. The second day he was there after day camp, he was brought back to his room with his run door closed. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but after 3 hours of this… I texted for them to go open his run door. When I picked him up from his stay, there was a pile of feces in his run that I could see from the lobby. When receiving his belongings back there was a brand new $40 bag of freeze dried treats missing. Luckily I checked this before leaving the parking lot. I worked at Holiday Barn Pet resort as a teenager, so I am very aware of the level of care that should be provided. Holiday Barn’s care is completely unmatched compared to this. I was trying something new since Pet Paradise is the newest Boarding facility in our area, but I soon regretted my decision. I was trying to enjoy a mini vacation at the beach for my mother’s death anniversary, but couldn’t due to worrying about my boy. I was very agitated spending $425 for the level of care he received.

I was out of state for a funeral, with my dogs, and needed a place for my dogs during the funeral. They took my dogs in for a few hours and it didn’t cost me anything with the “first visit free” special!! My dog must have played pretty hard because when we got back to the hotel they were all tuckered out. 😂 I now plan to travel with my dogs a lot more and will definitely come back to a Pet Paradise again!! Even thought it won’t be free. 😉

Skye is absolutely amazing! She is the only groomer I trust with my little Simba, and every time we visit, she goes above and beyond to make sure he feels comfortable and cared for. Skye takes her time, ensuring that Simba gets a thorough groom, including nail grinding and ear cleaning, and he always looks fantastic afterward. If you're looking for a groomer who will treat your pet like family, Skye is the one to go to!

We love how Rusty perks up when we turn the corner to come there. I know he is taken care of and treated well.The entire staff is so friendly!

I adopted Tucker (Journey) from the richmond SPCA when I was volunteering there. He had been returned two or three times. He didn’t know how to walk on the leash and I could tell he was poorly socialized. He had severe leash reactivity, barrier aggression, and fear aggression. He had bit a few people including myself and I was very nervous taking him out of the house. We were able to barely scrape by pet-smart basic obedience training and I could tell he was very smart. From there I tried every type of harness and collar. I spent thousands of dollars on a behavior therapist and anxiety meds. My amazing dog walkers from Barksley in Richmond helped me make sure he had long walks every day. All of these things helped but progress was very slow and at some point we hit a wall. I discovered k9 and company via word of mouth from a very close friend. He knew a dog named Gunner had gone through k9 & company retreat’s 2 month boot camp and was a completely different dog afterward. I was extremely skeptical, but this first hand account made me want to try it. They quoted me a flat rate and then had Tucker for two months. When Mark brought him back: he could walk great on a leash with no pulling and I was taught how to keep him from reacting with distractions. He was far better socialized with dogs, and his separation anxiety was gone. He loves his crate now and goes in it easily. All of his obedience commands are better with distractions. The day after I got him back and trained with Mark I was able to get within ten feet of a poodle at pet smart and put him in a down stay. No barking. No lunging. No hairs standing up his back. No more pills. We will continue with k9 and company training and socialization because it works. My dog walker (Barksley) immediately noticed a huge difference and my dog Tucker has never been a happier ( : Thanks Mark and the whole k9 and company team for everything you did for us!!

When your dog waits at the door every morning to go to daycare you know he loves going and it makes our hearts happy knowing he is well taken care of. Mark and his whole team has really helped me and our Bruno with his behavior and aggression!! We LOVE K-9 and Company and highly recommend them to anyone!

Today is our puppy Oliver's 3rd day at K9 & Company Retreat and he loves it! I left him for an evaluation Tuesday and brought him in for his first full day of day school/day camp yesterday and again today. He's having a blast and we already see a big difference in his demeanor. He's only 4 months old so he has a lot to learn, but I feel very good about his new friends and trainer and I'm excited to see what else they can do!

I love Mark and Melissa and how they are with my Zeus. Zeus was always so excited and happy to go there when I took him. He made many best friends. I soon will be taking him there again. I highly recommend K9 & Company for anyone in need of their services. Such lovely people. We cannot wait to see them again.

K9&Co and Mark have totally changed our dog for the better. Our dog Leo is so sweet but had anxiety and could not be around other people. Mark trained him and now Leo can go everywhere with us. The daycare, boarding, bootcamp options make it easy to have a long term relationship with K9&Co so your dog can be socialized regularly. We highly recommend Mark and K9&Co!

Don’t waste your time, that is Don’t WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY GOING ANYWHERE ELSE. K9 and Company is Amazing!!! Love Mark, Melissa and ALL of the staff. I took My baby Brooklyn, 4yr old staffordshire Terrier here for 6 weeks of training and it was a wonderful experience. Even though Brooklyn has never bit anyone I was VERY concerned she would. She has aggression and separation issues. She could not be walked, Bathe, petted, fed, in the room with other people, I tell you NOTHING could be done. I was scared for her and for them when I left her. The cost was clear for her evaluation, boarding, option of bath, nails, and future visits. Brooklyn had been through 3 trainers who tried to train from the driveway not even going near her. The other trainers wanted me to buy shock collars to do what Mark and his team did with a leash. Brooklyn returned with better behavior, a clear plan and understanding for the behaviors that we needed to work on. She was treated with excellent care and continues to receive that with every visit

Words cannot explain how glad I was to have found K9 & Co for my Daisy. She started going to daily daycare starting at 15 weeks and went from being anxious leaving us to running to the door in excitement to play and train. The staff is PHENOMENAL and they treat each pup like their own. I highly recommend this amazing place for anyone looking for boarding, daycare and/or training!

K9 and Co retreat is the best! They were amazing with my senior dog and now take care of my 5 month old Golden Retriever!

Sophie participated in the boot camp and she learned so much! Mark is amazing at connecting with and training dogs. He uses positive reinforcement and was very successful with my standard poodle.

Our puppy LOVES this doggy daycare place as do her pawrents! They have a very thorough medical check-in and first day behavior check, which is so professional! Mark was very communicative and answered all of my questions. It is a very professional facility. There is a ton of information online about their mission and , services. Everyone is friendly, efficient and helpful. The hours are fantastic. Our little girl always comes home happy and tired. Send her along with food. She comes home happy, fed and tired.
