Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.
Ryan is a great house and pet sitter and I definitely recommend him. He took excellent care of my apartment and my dog for peace of mind when I was away. He is professional, friendly, and experienced.
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Melissa and Chris are amazing. We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity. They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them. Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could. I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them. They also took very good care of our house and plants.
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!! Lisa

So happy to have found Happy Hound K9 Social Club! We boarded our 2 dogs and my sons dog for 2 weeks while out of the country. The set up is perfect, they have a 2 acre fenced dog park to run and play, no kennels and the dogs are welcomed in their home to sleep on couches and dog beds.So nice to get updates with pictures and videos.Our pups were well taken care of and loved like they were their own!! Thank you Bryan and Bridget. We highly recommend Happy Hounds!!
Words cannot adequately express how grateful and happy we are to have found Happy Hound K9 Social Club! Our sweet Maybelline was boarded with them, and the care was exceptional. It was so important to me for her to have a homelike environment where she could roam freely outdoors, and lounge in the comfort of a home instead of being kept in a kennel and having restrictions on her play time. Maybelline was able to keep her routine which kept her happy and eased my mind. I was given daily updates with photos, and the attention to her care and comfort was amazing. I honestly was worried she was having so much fun she would not want to return home! 😀 I was so reassured just knowing she was being loved, and well cared for while we were away. We are customers for life!
I am so thankful that we found Happy Hound Social Club! We were away for a two week trip and I didn't have to worry about the well being of our dog for one second. Our german shepherd thrived in the pack(he loves making friends)! Koda relaxed on the couches provided, ran until his heart was content and had over 2 acres to do so safely. The care & knowledge that Bryan and Bridget provide is top notch. I even received pictures and video updates of our fur baby having the time of his life. If you are considering Happy Hound Social Club, take the leap, you won't be disappointed!
Bridget and Bryan are incredible. We can't recommend Happy Hound enough!! We recently boarded our German Shepherd and Samoyed with them and they had a great time. Our pups have never come back happier from boarding. We absolutely noticed a difference in their care from their peppy attitudes after being boarded with Happy Hound. Our shepherd has never really desired to be part of a pack when being boarded but with Bridget and Bryan she was game and spent her weekend part of the pack!! I fully attribute that to their care and sweet energy with the pups. The facilities couldn't be more lux. Acres of beautiful land enclosed for your pup to run and play. They really treat the dogs like their own. Dogs on the couches, hanging in the house. I could go on and on! If I could give 10 stars I would!
I would give Happy Hounds a million stars if I could. Bryan and Bridget are beyond exceptional! They took their time getting to know Daisy (and me) during our first meeting. I was immediately at ease in their company and I could see that Daisy was as well. Bryan has such a natural, intuitive symbiosis with dogs. His calm, positive, and in-control energy creates harmony in his pack. Bridget has a nurturing, reassuring, and serene presence. She has a special knack for making dogs feel right at home, loved, and safe. I could write a book on how much I love these people!
Happy Hounds K9 Social Club is awesome. We send our chocolate lab to Bryan and Bridget weekly and she could not be in better hands. Darcy, is a sweet eight-year-old, who does not run as fast or play as hard as the rest of the pack. That being said, I know that she is watched to make sure that she doesn’t do too much but also that she is having fun and doing things that she enjoys. The fenced in 2 acre field that the dogs play in is incredible and safe. Darcy has also boarded there and came home as happy as when she left. I felt very comfortable leaving her there for the weekend. The pick up drop/off service is a major plus for us as our work schedules are unpredictable. We could not ask for better care for our sweet pup and recommend them highly for yours.
Our two golden doodles love going out to Happy Hound every Monday. When Bryan pulls up in the van, they get so excited and jump right in. When they come home they are worn out! It is a beautiful place where they can run and play in a "pack" of pet friends. Bryan and Bridget are knowledgeable about dog behavior, and I appreciate how they get to know each pet and each of their personalities. I get the feeling that they love what they do, and I know they take good care of our girls. We have also boarded them out there. It is great that they are not in a crate, and that they spend so much time outside. I also love that when they are there overnight they sleep in the house with Bryan and Bridget. I recommend Happy Hound K9 Social Club for day care and boarding!
Happy Hound K9 Social Club is such a gift to the lucky pups in this area! I am so glad I found them for my Great Dane, Pepper. Bryan and Bridget have thought through every detail and turned their beautiful property into a dog paradise. I know the day that Pepper gets to run her heart out at daycare is her favorite day of the week!
Really happy that I chose Happy Hound for Zara!! I was a little worried for her being away from me as she has always stuck under me since the day I adopted her and didn't know how she would do around other dogs by herself. As i received updates of her having fun with the others dogs, I knew I made the right decision. I really liked that she could go outside to play and enjoy herself. Would definitely recommend for boarding and will try to get her to do daycare monthly when I get the chance.
I highly recommend Happy Hound K9 Social Club! We boarded our 2 dogs for a week and they were treated as part of the family. No kennels, the home has a dog room with tons of dog beds and dog couches! Large fields, completely fenced for the dogs to run in. We picked up two content, settled dogs. I would not hesitate to board my dogs in the future.
Always dependable and reliable! We have two dogs that Jackie has taken care of for over a year, she stays overnight and cares for them. She goes above and beyond for us.
As someone who stressed about my dog being safe, happy, and comfortable — Jackie goes above and beyond ensuring this is done well and with fair prices. Not only was she great at calming the nerves of having my dog boarded for a week with her; but offered a meet and greet with my dog so he was familiar with her, which benefitted greatly as when he stayed with her, he already knew her. He was safe, comfortable, and very happy — I’m not sure he even wanted to leave when I picked him up after my trip. I highly, highly recommend Jackie. You won’t find anyone else as compassionate, caring, and educated on doing this work. You won’t regret it.
We have 4 dogs (totally nuts!) and it is no small feat to be able to leave on vacation and know that they're all taken care of - Jackie makes that happen for us! She's extremely professional and reliable and willing to work around all the little quirks and extras that our pups need. We're so grateful to have found someone we can trust! Thank you, Jackie!!
Jackie and her associates always take wonderful care of my dogs - just like family. She is super responsive, easy to work with, and very professional. I am so glad to discover her business!
Jackie has gone above and beyond for our dogs and cat. She and her team are so amazing with all animals and so professional with the owners. I completely trust when she pet sits that they will be taken care of in the best way possible. I’m so thankful for her!
I've known Jackie for 4 years now. Worked with her at the vet clinic for almost a year. I consider her more than a friend, more like family. She is the most responsible, caring, and knowledge pet sitter/vet tech that I've ever known, and I've worked in the veterinary field for over 20 years. She's super friendly and honest and my pets love her. I've been lucky enough to have her care for my crew while I've been on vacation and I wouldn't trust anyone else to look after my pets. I love that she sends me pictures of my crazy critters while I'm gone. Please reach out to Jackie before your next vacation to have your pets professionally cared for! 🐈🐕
Jackie has taken care of my 2 dogs for 5 years now. I trust her with their life. Very reliable and the dogs love her!!
Jackie is an absolute star! Helped us a lot with puppy training and dog walking after our pups spay, as well as answering all kinds of questions! Super friendly, super kind and would highly recommend to anyone!
Jackie has been caring for my fur babies for years. She truly cares for our animals as her own - and able to work it out even on short notice. I never have to worry about them when we are away.
Jackie has been wonderful, we are new to VA and it was great to find someone so reliable and caring to take care of our fur baby when we weren't able to take him with us.
