Robin
Ararat, Virginia
Queenfurastay
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!
Lisa
Ararat, Virginia
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!
Sabrina
Ararat, Virginia
Unofficial professional pet snugglers!
Sabrina was very attentive to our fur babies. She sent regular pictures and checked in about what was normal and what was not for our old man cat. Highly recommend them! Thank you so much! 
Sarah
Ararat, Virginia
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.
Avery
Ararat, Virginia
Digital nomad & pet enthusiast!
It was a pleasure to have Avery as a house sitter. We got pictures and updates daily, the house was clean and tidy on our return, she had fun with our neighbors, and Sunny got plenty of exercise and attention. I would recommend her without hesitation.
McKayla
Ararat, Virginia
Let's partner to ensure your pets still feel the love while you're away!
McKayla was a wonderful pet and house sitter. I only wish she lived near by so she could take care of Oscar and Sylvia every time I traveled. She took good care of our indoor and balcony plants, left the apartment clean and organized, and, most importantly, she connected with and took special care of the cats who were very relaxed and happy when we got home.
Elizabeth
Ararat, Virginia
Loving Care by a Foster Fur Baby Mother-Daughter Duo
Elizabeth and Charlene were with our little crew for nearly 10 days and did a good job! My review on cleanliness were due to some items left in our fridge that were fragrant/had gone bad that we had to dispose of. also, one of our dogs had licked her front paw pad so much she was limping when we got home. We do have measures / steps to take if her allergies or anxiety flare up, but we did not know about it (until we got home). Could have improved on communication with that in mind, but otherwise a great sit!
Michelle
Ararat, Virginia
Happily retired and loves travel and pets.
Michelle was a great house sitter and Daisy was well taken care of. She communicated well (even changed her flight home to make things easier), kept the house clean, and Daisy was very happy. Would definitely invite her back in the future!
Harriet
Ararat, Virginia
Active free-spirited furry friend lover looking to make new pet friends!
She took great care of my pet and place while I was gone. No complaints. A++++ sitter
Fiona
Ararat, Virginia
Experienced Petsitter
Fiona took excellent care of all four of our animals. She sent us pictures regularly and was communicative with us both before the sit and throughout the week that she house sat for us. The house was very clean when we got back and all the animals were happy. I highly recommend Fiona.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Jeff
My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
Natalie
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Wendy & Rob
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us 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!
Sally & Andy
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Deborah
This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!
Mary
Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected. I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated. We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned. My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed. Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone. I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here. If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry. I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.
Rebecca
Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away! One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day. Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions. She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away. Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip. The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas. Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.

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.
Sharon
Alia is awesome and we have used her several times. She is a 5 star rated sitter every time. The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home. She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late. Highly recommend Alia!!

Made appt a month ago for bath & hair cut. Go in & told i just scheduled for bath, which i know wasnt so. Wanted to reschedule me. They decided to get SOMEONE to groom my dog. When i picked her up her cut was very nicely done, but she had NOT been bathed. She still stunk & toenails were still real long. Paid $85 for haircut! And no bath! Guess this area needs a new reputable dog groomer.
What a shock! Never had a problem with them before. We have been taking our dogs here for the past year to be groomed every 2-3 months and boarded them also. Called to get a grooming appointment and were told we were "not regular customers and would have to be put on a wait list". I guess us common folk will have to find another grooming and boarding location.
Love the staff, they love all the pets! Always enjoy bringing Lainey here for baths and boarding. They always have a smile for you and take great care of your fur baby. I love her smelling like blueberries!
The staff here care for your pets like they are family. I have been taking my pet family there for 15 years. I have had them bathed, groomed, and boarded. They have reasonable prices and my animals love them back.
We have boarded our dogs here for at least the past ten years, beginning when we moved to the area. I have nothing but good things to say. The staff is always kind and helpful. Some friends have commented that they are too expensive, but to know that our pets are well cared for is worth a few extra dollars.
We always have a great experience here.Our dog loves it.
They are so great with my dog (bo) he loves them there they really listen to everything you tell them recommended.
I've been taking my dogs there for years!! Great people who do a great job.
This place is wonderful. They treat our dogs like they are their dogs. We have our dogs groomed here as well, and their boarding services are top notch. They came highly recommended to us and now I Highly Recommend them to you.
Both of my doggies love this place. They come out smelling good and looking snazzy. (They are boys). Highly recommend

We take our dogs here. Staff is so kind and great with my dogs! They will even go out side to trim my boy dogs nails due to his afraid of everything and weight is over 100lbs lol
Super nice staff easy to do business with an most importantly I trust them with my pet we board her there and they take very good care of her send me pictures and updates I wouldn't take my pet anywhere else 😊 …
Awesome staff! Great grooming! And our doggie, who I might add is 75lbs thinks he was the king going here. He was pampered and loved on, and was able to take his security blanket aka dog bed and favorite toy for his stay. The staff kept us up to date on how he was doing and even did glamor shots of him. Absolutely would recommend this place again for our doggie. This will always be his home away from home.
Great job on my Sophie! She tends to be very cranky when having her facial hair or nails cut and they always have her looking good!
They're wonderful people and take great care of our pets. We boad and use their grooming services. Our pets will go nowhere else.
Amazing prices, fantastic staff, and you can really tell they love and cherish every pet that comes through their doors.
My animals love Jen and her staff,highly recommend!
Our dog had always been traumatized after grooming sessions. Took her to Jen today, Piddles came home relaxed and happy! And her cut was exactly what we ask for! Thanks Jen & crew!!!
Great care and communication as well as super fair pricing for by dogs!
Took our Buster there for first time. Jen was great, Buster looked great and great price. Would highly recommend.

I was worried getting ready to go on vacation about where my dog would stay and have fun and be safe without being kenneled all day, I contacted Brayla because I had seen her Facebook page and seen how happy every single dog looks! She kept my boys for 4 days and gave me updates every single day along with pictures of my goofy boys! They had so much fun and made so many new friends, definitely will be going to her again!
I am always hesitant about leaving my bulldog anywhere because he is high maintenance (lazy but high maintenance) Brayla took such great care of my baby. She sent me pictures to let me know he was ok and adjusting well. He has been there a couple times for boarding. When I go to get him, Brayla always hugs his neck and talks so sweet to him. Makes me feel like they bonded. I highly recommend Spark N Bark.
Amazing place! My two dogs went for boarding and had the best time! The owner is wonderful with my girls and treat them like they are her own. My boxer usually does not do well around other dogs or new places, so I was extremely nervous boarding her for the first time, but she absolutely thrived here! She ended up socializing and interacting with all kinds of other dogs. The owner was so understanding, accommodating, and helpful especially when I had a family emergency and had to extend their stay another few days. My girls will be back boarded and day care at spark-n-bark! 100% recommend!
Our fur babies were welcomed into Brayla’s home with open arms and lots of kisses. We felt extremely comfortable leaving both of them with her the for the weekend. She kept in touch with us by sending pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated. It is always nice to see them happy and playing. We will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend her.
Brayla has a heart of gold caring for all her clients dogs, she truly treats them as one of her own. Daycare--my dogs come home happy and exhausted after spending the day here! Boarding--My dogs did great while under Brayla's care. She communicated often with pictures and general updates. She followed all instructions with their eating and medications.
We have struggled with many places to board our big guy Bacon. He had the best time here last weekend and will be coming back many many many times. Brayla sent us pictures and kept me updated on how he did with other animals and how his health was in our absence as that has been an issue with other places not keeping us informed when issues would come up. He had an amazing time, and was even given a little baggie of yummy treats for the road, will definitely be recommending spark n bark to my friends and family.
We cannot say enough about how wonderful Brayla and her sweet husband were to our fur baby Brandy. We were so apprehensive leaving her. Brayla shared pictures and videos of our baby and you could just see the love and joy. We were even afraid she wouldn’t like being back at our boring house after bringing her home…..Lol. I highly recommend Brayla. She’s the best. What a great feeling it is to go away on vacation knowing your precious fur baby is loved and taken care of. ❤️‼️. Karen and Bill Needy.
This pet sitting service has been nothing short of perfect for me and my husky. I have taken my puppy here for several months now about 3 times a week & would take her everyday if I could. Anytime we have had unexpected situations and need to leave our dog here, we have been able to and were welcomed with open arms. Brayla has done such a great job & will make sure your animal is happy all the time. I HIGHLY recommend!!
My pup Bowser LOVED going to Spark-N-Bark! He will definitely be going back when we need daycare again. He is a high energy dog and was wonderfully worn out by the time I picked him up everyday. It was super good for him. The owner was super nice and even adjusted her drop off time to work with my schedule. Amazing. Bowser can’t wait to go back! ❤️
Goose LOVES going to daycare!! He’s been going here since he was 3 months old and Brayla has watched him grow up and has loved him ever since. She treats all of the dogs like they are her own! She is always contacting me about how Goose is doing there and sends me tons of goofy pics of my sweet boy! 10000/10 recommend.
