Terry
Davis Shop, Virginia
Dependable animal lover excited to care for your fur babies and your home.
Terry was great to work with and great at communicating every step of the way. He has the experience to know what questions to ask, and went the extra mile to work with our travel schedule when we were dialing in dates and times. I could tell he was a pro at making our two dogs feel comfortable and well taken-care of. We returned to find two happy dogs and our place just the way we left it - only maybe even a bit cleaner!
Kim
Davis Shop, Virginia
Professional, kind, mature couple, extensive home-owning & pet care experience
We recently had the pleasure of having Kim and John house-sit for us again, and as before, we couldn’t be happier! Kim is detailed, professional, tidy and caring. Heimo was very happy to see her again which is most important. And there was a beautiful fresh fruit salad waiting for me in the fridge! Thank you Kim :)
Melanie
Davis Shop, Virginia
Retired Montessori Teacher/Artist/Homeowner/Animal Advocate who loves to travel!
We were so fortunate that Melanie was available to stay with our 15-year-old cat, Little Bits for 12 days. Our sweet female calico has gotten older and a little more frail dealing with hyperthyroidism. My husband and I were concerned yet hopeful that we’d find the right person to look after her needs. Well, Melanie was a gem; we didn't have a single worry the entire time we were away. We were also very grateful that she was able to arrive the evening before we left so we could go over things in the house and get acquainted. We knew instantly Bits would be in excellent hands. Melanie was watchful and very attentive. Her communication was beyond exceptional and we loved getting updates with photos of our girl. It was obvious that Little Bits was very happy with her new friend. When we returned we found our home clean and in perfect order. Melanie did an amazing job!
Elizabeth
Davis Shop, Virginia
Providing you peace of mind while pampering your pet is my priority!
Another fantastic experience with Elizabeth! We were on vacation for 12 days and had total peace of mind with Elizabeth looking after our sweet Zoe and the house. She is super self-sufficient and happy to help with garden upkeep and anything else that comes up during a stay. Plus there's nothing better than returning to a well cared for and happy kitty, and a spotless house with linens laundered, trash taken out, and a sweet bouquet to welcome us home! Absolutely looking forward to the next chance to have Elizabeth come and stay. Thank you Elizabeth! 🙏🏼

Reliable, experienced farmer will lovingly care for your home, plants and pets
Carolyn is so sweet and took such great care of my pets! She is such a kind soul and I loved having her.
Carlinda
Davis Shop, Virginia
Retired RN and retired College Professor from Virginia
Carlinda and Kent were the absolute best sitters for our three dogs. We are rarely able to get away for an extended period of time. Carlinda and Kent provided the best care we could have asked for. While we were away, one of our pups needed some medical attention....we simply lucked out by having such amazing caregivers...from vet appointments to constant updates, we knew that we had nothing to worry about. We would HIGHLY recommend Carlinda and Kent and truly hope that we can have them back.....our boys miss them ;-)
Patrick
Davis Shop, Virginia
Worry-free vacay as Professor and Malcolm provide best of care for house and pet
Patrick is an exceptional house / petsitter. He's very pleasant, communicative and responsible. He exercised my 2 pups regularly. My house was as clean when I returned as it was when I left. He even did some home repair! He brought his own pup Malcolm, who is a gem. Malcolm and one of my pups became fast friends. I recommend Patrick with absolutely no reservations.
Erin
Davis Shop, Virginia
Loving, professional, communicative pet sitters.
Erin took great care of Daisy. I received several videos and pictures of Daisy over the stay!
Kristy
Davis Shop, Virginia
Responsible & Clean Homecare
We had a wonderful experience with Kristin as our pet sitter! She is incredibly sweet and showed such genuine care for our fur babies. Kristin kept everything clean and organized, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly well taken care of and happy when we returned. We highly recommend Kristin for anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!
Bethany
Davis Shop, Virginia
Responsible, Experienced, and Reliable Professional Couple from Virginia
We are so pleased to have had Jason and Bethany in our home. They are truly animal lovers -- it showed in every communication we had with them. We think Paige and Loki were actually disappointed when we arrived home instead of them. LOL! They also took extra time to carefully manage Paige's food intake. We feed her carefully measured amounts (to maintain her weight) and schedule when she eats so she doesn't throw it all up. Jason and Bethany followed these requests and Paige was happy and healthy because of it. They have been homeowners themselves for years and kept an experienced eye on our home. They even spotted a minor leak from our dishwasher and we appreciate that level of care. We'd give them 6 stars if we could. We hope that Jason and Bethany return to sit for our kitties Paige and Loki. They are welcome anytime.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Sam
Martin and Caitlin are the best house/pet sitters we've ever had. They came fully prepared (they had read through welcome packet thoroughly before they arrived), they sent the best texts and pics to reassure us all was well, and the house was immaculate when we got home. Best of all, they treated Winston like family and he clearly fell in love with them. They are considerate, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. We absolutely would love to have them back (honestly, every time we go on a trip!). They are fantastic and we are truly grateful for the care and love they showed to both our dog and our home.
Alexis
We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida! Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover
Mia
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Nicole
We’re so grateful for the love and care Vanessa gave our two dogs while we were traveling for a weekend. During our trip, she sent us pictures and our dogs always looked happy and at ease. Even during a thunderstorm she cared for our scared older dog who unfortunately had a little accident, and she cleaned up with no complaint. We didn’t have to worry at all which let us truly enjoy our weekend away knowing our dogs were in the best hands! Vanessa was clean and tidy. We returned home to a neat house and happy pups! She even did the laundry without us asking. We would highly recommend Vanessa as a sitter for anyone. Thank you so much!!
Ellie
Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.

I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.

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.

Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!

I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend. Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay. It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail. She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures. I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it. I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!

Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

I have to change my original post of what a great place this is. For the past 2 out of 3 times (both on the weekend) I've boarded my dog, pick up was awful. I always send extra medication for her and during the weekends she stayed, the extra medication was not returned. The 1st time it happened the final explanation was that it was given to another dog who takes the same medication. Having it happen a 2nd time is just too much! It makes me wonder if the other dog was given all of my dog's medication I'd sent. The Friday afternoon and weekend staff is so disorganized and undertrained as to protocol for giving meds. My dog loves going to dogtopia and I will probably still take her for the day and possibly to board if it's during the week, but do not trust that on weekends she will be properly cared for. It's a shame that such a wonderful resource has gone so downhill.
We take our dog, Bessie, here a couple of days a week, and she LOVES it! We enjoy watching her on the webcam, and the staff is so patient and gentle with her. It's obvious they all have a love for dogs, and I have and will continue to refer people to them!
Perfect doggie daycare the location is about 7 minutes away from my place of work. The hours of drop-off and pickup work great for me.
I am so happy to have found Dogtopia! It took my dog, Jane, a while to settle in and get comfortable but now she whines to go! She and I both love Dogtopia, not just for day care but for boarding as well. Every staff member sincerely loves dogs and I feel good every time I leave her in their loving care - and so does she!
My dogs always look happy and come home happy
Their website says "recommend" 3 days of daycare before dog boarding. "RECOMMEND". So I was surprised when I called and they said it's "required". My dog has done plenty of doggydaycares and boardings and have never had this much difficulty getting a business to take my money. How about updating your website? Thanks!
Was informed before the meet and greet that they have a no exceptions policy that dogs must be neutered by the age of 7 months, but 2 vets and a quick Google search show the absolute conclusion that is better,at least for larger breed dogs like my lab, to wait until they're at least a year. Can you imagine a daycare requiring you to vaccinate your children before theyre ready to attend? Response to response: really, no consensus? study for a study? Google "when to neuter my lab" and see if you cant gather a quick consensus. I cannot find a single study remotely suggesting to neuter before 9 months, with 12 to 18 months seeming to be the most common recommendation, but everyone seems to be 100% agreed that doing it too early commonly leads to health issues including joint issues and cancers!
Signed my little pup up for a meet and greet. They took her to the back for 10 minutes and said she was good to go. I didn’t get a tour. Some guy in big boots came out the back and said, “Who are you?” Weird. So they give me three free days. I’m watching the webcam which I’m glad I found because no employees here mentioned those. And my puppy is just sitting in a corner. No food no water. No person watching. They didn’t even mention if I should bring her food or water or what the daily routine is. I don’t trust this place. I’m leaving a family member here and I don’t even know what I’m leaving her to.
Makes getting to work so much easier when I know my pup is going to have a good day too. Front desk staff is great! Friendly and efficient. My pup is always so eager to see them.
I use Dogtopia to allow my girl Reese to socialize and get a break from her job as a bike shop dog. She loves to go and be able to run around and play, I feel comfortable knowing there is always someone supervising and breaking up any possible aggressions. She is usually asleep by the time we pull out of the parking lot! Their hours are perfect for me since you can pick up until 7:30pm....I work till 7pm, otherwise there's nowhere else I could take her and she would miss out on so much FUN! I also love that I can log in and see what she's doing with their video camera access. We both LOVE Dogtopia!!
