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!

Loving, adventurous professionals seek amazing pets to cuddle
Erin is an amazing pet sitter. This is her second time to sit with Gracie, which made the hand-off go smoothly. She sent me frequent mini-video updates and asked great questions about minor health issues. I could tell how much Gracie loved her by watching the two of them say their farewells. Erin will always be my first choice when traveling if she is available to return!

40+ years of experience caring for animals; loving them too!
We would highly recommend Sonya as a Sitter. She had fantastic communication skills - always keeping us updated on our two pups and anything related to the house. She regularly sent us pics and videos so we could see how they were doing. Just as important, we could tell that Sonya was genuinely a dog lover. In a short period of time she connected with our dogs and they connected with her. They seemed to spend the days and nights by her side while she was working and sleeping. Sonya took very good care of our home, keeping us updated on anything pertinent and her transition to the next set of Sitters was easy and organized. Thank you Sonya! We hope to have you back again in the future!

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.

Excited to spend my long summer and winter breaks in new places caring for pets
Rebecca was a great sitter! She stayed here with some family and they were all very responsible and tidy. Rebecca was great with our dog, easy to communicate with, and left our home looking like we had when we left it. Would 10/10 recommend for any house sit!

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!

Experienced housesitter excited to help you!

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.
Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
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.
We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
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!
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
Cannot say enough good things about Charli and Jeff, a delightful couple who took great care of both dog and house. Loved their enthusiasm and attention to details. They are full time traveling pet/house sitters and it shows. They are organized, punctual, extremely tidy and completely self-sufficient. Charli, Jeff, it was a true pleasure to meet you both and you are welcome back any time your future travels bring you to the Charleston area. Warm hugs from myself and Forest.

I can't say enough great things about Doe Creek Kennels! Allison and her team are such kind and wise dog lovers and caregivers!! Our dog, Lucie, LOVES her time there. As soon as we pull into Doe Creek Farms she starts singing and dancing around in the car with great anticipation... it makes us laugh every time! And, she does the same thing when she sees us arrive to pick her up.... what more could we ask for?! Thanks for giving us the wonderful peace of mind that comes with boarding her at Doe Creek!
We've been taking our dogs to Doe Creek for years. Best kennel you could ask for! They are professionals and pay attention to your dog's wants and needs. Kennel is very clean, dogs have their own rooms and lots of space to run and play. Our dogs love going there and we have peace of mind knowing they will have the best care! Thank you Allison and crew for providing a wonderful, safe place for our puppies! 🥰 And stop by The Bad Apple for some incredible food too!!!
I have taken my grand dog(for my daughter) for several years to Allison at Doe Creek Kennels. Kirah, (Siberian Husky) love it there!! It is so organized and the dogs are watched and played with so you can leave them and feel totally confident they will be fine. She will even occasionally send you a picture of your dog playing and a text of how your dog is adjusting. When vacationing, my daughter always contacts Allison ahead of time. The kennels are clean and tidy and you can leave without any hesitation that your dog will be cared for properly!! Thanks Allison and staff!!!
Our dog has been going to Doe Creek Kennels for many years, ever since they first opened their wonderful facility. The staff there has always treated him just like a member of their own family. Our dog Junior is always happy and excited when he figures out he is heading to Doe Creek. He knows he will get personal attention there and lots of time to play in the yard with other dogs. We love this place!
I used this place for my three precious pugs several years ago. (like 2012 - 2016 ish) Sorry it took me so long to leave a review. They were fantastic! We used them several times. The pugs LOVED it here. My senior citizen Shelby was special needs and blind, and she did well, too! I remember being concerned she'd fall into their pool, but the staff were super attentive and kind. I received some pictures via text of their stay. The pugs were super well cared for. I left them here numerous times for several days at a time. It is truly a very exquisite and special place on earth. I live in a massive metroplex now and NOTHING like this exists where I'm currently at. What you guys have is very beautiful and unique! I miss you guys!!
Hawk has always felt welcome and comfortable at Doe Creek. When we pick him up he's happy and we get great feedback about how he behaved and who he played with the most. The folks there give him goodies that we supply and they feed him like we do at home. He well cared for and we keep going back. Love the folks there!
We left our furbaby a few days ago.for 3 days it was great experience for him and us. Allison was so nice when I text her the first night.we don't go away much but will most definitely use them again if we need too. Thank You so much.
They're great at taking care of my Zelda!
Outstanding kennel. My dogs are tired and happy when I return.
Buddy had a great time. Awesome place and people who work there!!
They love and care for my little Gibbi as he was there own. Knowing he is safe and playing with other small dogs all day is the best piece of mind. When he gets home he is happy and tired!
You won’t find better care, friendlier service, and more reasonable prices than anywhere in Blacksburg. We have been utilizing their services several times per year for 4 years and never had reason to complain.
We have used Heartstrings for a total of 4 of our pets over the last 10 years. My in-laws have had at least as many during that time too. All of our animals love to go here. Rick and his staff live up to their promises and love our furry friends.
Highly recommended for dog boarding and grooming. The on site groomer does a great job for a fair price. And unlike most kennel experiences, my dogs don't come home stressed out. Great facilities and services.
Not from the area and moving cross country by car. I was traveling with no set plans or guides or idea what was coming my path. I needed to board my 4 cats on a whim and called this place and they had a place for them to stay overnight. I was very impressed with their professionalism and friendliness and ability to accommodate me and my cats! Asked all good questions to ensure my cat would be taken care of just like how I would at home while I was away. I had no doubt that my cats were safe and well taken care of while leaving them there. They had space to play and hide and do normal kitty things. They even let me come and see how the room looked like and let me in the room to ensure they were going to be ok. Great and cozy environment and awesome staff. Thank you so much for this!
They really care about our dog, and are always so happy to see her. She has a great time at daycare! We have also used their boarding services, and she gets top notch care while she is staying with them.
This place was great. First time using them right before Christmas and they were a blessing and fit me in before having to leave for the Holidays. My dog has had back leg problems (torn right ACL and then when that healed his left knee cap popped out of place and he is still recovering), which they very graciously took into account. After I got him back from his haircut he was feeling even better than when he first got in. I will absolutely be using them in the future. Thanks to every one who works there.
I took my cat here for his first grooming ever. They were wonderful with him and the staff was friendly. They didn't mind that I wanted to stay and watch him be groomed especially since it was my first time having him groomed. The facility is very clean which is a big deal to me, and you can tell they love all the animals that come in. I will definitely be back!
Great staff! Kenna always takes wonderful care of my puddin!!!
Our dog has been to this wonderful place twice, but both times he came back lethargic and with an upset stomach that the Vet attributed to bacterial infection. Since almost all the reviews are very old, weld love to learn from more recent experiences!!
Brianna and New Age Pet Care are amazing. She is very communicative and caring. She sends updates and photos for every visit. …
Brianna is an absolute angel! She has been so patient with my highly reactive herding dog and after multiple visits just to get my babies comfortable with her, we have success! During home visits, she communicates often and shares pictures …
Took a weekend vacation and used this service to care for my dog in our absence. Normally my girl won’t eat the first day we’re gone and is just down in the dumps, but Brianna sent updates for every visit and Sadie (my dog) was energetic, …
