Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend
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!!!
David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
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!
From her promptness to schedule a pre-sit call to her truly thorough tidying of our house, Stella was an amazing housesitter from start to finish!! She read all the info we put together ahead of time, and asked for clarification on just a few things which made us confident that the pup and the house were in good shape :) Stella was really gracious when we admitted to not having a coffee pot, and handling things calmly when there was an incident with street parking. Maybe most importantly though our dog Luke was calm when we came home. I think if future sitters are clear in their expectations around frequency of communication/photos and the dogs needs then Stella is the perfect person to exceed your expectations!
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!
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
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
Katrina and her family were amazing house sitters who took wonderful care of our dog. Our dog is reluctant to go on walks with new people, but the entire family pitched in and found ways to take her to the park. Her daughter developed a particularly close bond with our dog. Katrina communicated us frequently and we always felt reassured by her messages. We returned from our long trip to a spotless home and a beautiful cake in the fridge. What more could you want!
You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them! During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable. After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!

Our dog was very happy here. She can be a bit skittish around new places, so when she pulled on her leash to head back to the kennel, we knew all was going to well. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Thank you for making our trip a special one!
Dropped our pup off for daycare while we visited the caverns! All of the staff was friendly and helpful. They were even able to squeeze our boy in for pawdicure during his stay. Will definitely use again next time we’re in town.
We boarded our German Shepherd while we were visiting Luray. She loved her stay and we were able to get her a bath before we loaded up to go home. Awesome owners. Your dog is gonna love it.
Now under new owners. Been using these great people and awesome caretakers to care for our pet dogs for years! Best local care there is!!! They care, solid staff, excellent hours and good prices to boot. Nothing has changed, still s solid 10.
We were visiting Shenandoah National park this weekend and looking for somewhere to leave our dogs. I always nervous to leave them new places but mystic had great reviews. They definitely lived up to their reviews! They even groomed one of my pups while she was there and she looks amazing. They were well taken care of, happy when we picked them up. They were easy to communicate with, gave me updates when I called to check on them, played with them, etc.. would highly recommend to anyone considering. They definitely care about dogs and want to make them feel comfortable during their stay.
Love this place! We’ve been taking our dogs here to get groomed for a few months now and have nothing but great things to say. They always get us in the schedule quickly, we don’t have to book a month or more in advance like our previous groomer. The staff is very friendly too, I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with them. And we love the haircuts! They always give you the exact cut you ask for, no surprises here when you pick up! 10/10
Dogs were safe and healthy when we picked them up. They obviously had a great time and we're well cared for during our trip. We would 100% use them again.
They were very nice when I went to get my new best friend Jenny groomed 😊 …
My Pepper is treated like a princess at Mystic. Lena and Gareth always go out of their way to accommodate. These are friendly, salt of the earth hard working folks when love animals. Professional and lovely results. Have brought my pooches here for years and they never disappoint. Happy and clean doggie!
I was nervous dropping my dog off for her first time away from me but she did great. She's very anxious. I love the care they gave her and how they took the time to figure out what worked best for Fawn. I'll definitely be using them again when needed. It feels great to find a place you can trust.
This boarding facility is very close to home for me so I thought it was a good pick. I booked online for my pets and accidentally got the dates wrong so I called to see if they could change it to the correct dates for me. The owner answered the phone and was nice enough to do so but she did come off a little rude. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and asked if I could visit the facility before boarding my dogs. It was the day before Thanksgiving and she warned me they may not have time. totally understandable. I let her know I’d still check in. It comes to the day of the visit and I also brought my wife to make sure she was also comfortable with our pets staying here. The facility is clean and looks great on the outside. We walk in and it is also clean inside. I let the older lady (assuming this is the owner) at the desk know I was wondering if we could get a walk through. She and the older man sitting next to her immediately shake their head saying today was not a good day and included that they were leaving soon. Mind you: We arrive shortly after opening and there wasn’t a lot going on from what we could see. The walk through took less than 5mins…… The facility is clean. The employee that gave us the tour was nice but the spaces for the animals are advertised as luxury and being from the city they resemble closer animal shelter kennels. The owners overall attitude is the reason we would not board here ever. Please go in and tour the facility. You’ll understand my review when you do.
I reached out regarding an online reservation on a holiday weekend, wanting to confirm if they actually had availability or not. I was immediately greeting with a young lady who was extremely unpleasant and seemed to lack customer service phone skills. She picked up the call and did not provide her name or any detail other than “Hello, Creature Comfort.” I processed to introduce myself and explain why I was calling. When I asked if they actually had space for my reservation that was booked online, she gave me a stern one worded “No.” She maybe said 3 words total on that call, I was extremely taken back by the lack of professionalism during that brief interaction. Not a very great first impression from a business stand point by any means. I would not feel comfortable leaving my pets at a facility where they are not able to answer a customer call with respect.
Creature Comfort is the ONLY place in VA that I will Let take care of my baby, Leo. Tammy and Terry are the absolute best and go above and beyond to ensure your baby is treated as theirs. Tammy does an amazing job training as well! You won’t be disappointed 💜 …
My dog stayed for four days. He seemed perfectly chilled coming back home not stressed or anxious to get out. This was his first kennel stay. He's 11 months. The owner gave me a tour and I paid for some extra play time. The facility looked and smelled clean. I'd return if required.👍 …
My dogs have trained there, board there, and go to doggy daycare. I love the staff. I love the facility. The best
Great place to board pets. They took care of our cats and dogs like family. It is hard to find a place that takes such good care of the animals. Would recommend to anyone needing animal boarding.
If I could give Creature Comfort 6 stars I would! They take such good care of our two large dogs. We have been taking our dogs here for over 4 years. We pass a lot of other kennels along the way during our 60 mile drive to drop off our babies, but we know they are in the best hands while we are away.
Tammy and her team have been doing an amazing job of taking care of my 2 Rottweilers since they were puppies. One has developed epilepsy over the years. They have no problem caring for him and administering his meds. It means a lot to have a place we can trust to care for our pets when we are away. Thanks to you all.
Creature Comfort Inn is 1.5 hours away from us and WELL worth the trip to leave our dog. We have boarded our dog with them twice now. When we picked up our dog this time, the owner took the time to note minor behavior differences she saw in our pup between his first and second boarding. The Inn offers many services for the dogs each day for an additional fee (group play, snuggle time, extra walks, etc) that we plan to take advantage of next time! You can tell these folks love the pups they care for.
Large property in a country setting. great area for my dog to run! They took wonderful care of my dog during the week he was boarded there. they provide a lot of services. Kennels were clean, and a good size. Will be returning with Boo for daycare and training!
Kenneled my dogs. Went to pick up my dogs, and they said they'd bring out the leftover food. Ended up bringing me a bag of dried food when I brought in cans. After finally bringing out the right cans, there were 3 extra cans, so they weren't feeding them every day, if at all; since they can't even get the food right. Then had to ask for my stuff I brought for them back, and they said they were washing the blanket because they had an accident. I told them I brought in multiple toys and clothes. They went to the back to check again, and said they actually did have it all. I asked them to bring out all the stuff and my dogs separate because IDK how I'm supposed to walk 2 dogs to my car, carry all the extra food, and a 13 gallon trashbag. Had to complain to the clerk a couple times before she offered to walk the dogs to my truck while I carried all the stuff. If this is just checkout, IDK how they managed the dogs. My baby girl is much more lean than when I picked her up
Their name says it all! Polite, experienced professionals in every way. Our dog Bonnie loves staying here; she needs a little extra attention and the staff always accommodates.
I come to this place and wash 4 of my dogs here. The easy in and out is what I like about this place. Safety & Cleanliness is important to me. The staff is always super nice and friendly.
We come in semi-regularly for grooming and unscheduled nail trims. They do a wonderful job with my long-haired chihuahua. He always comes home excited and and smelling amazing. We have had great grooms every time we came. They also require vaccination records, so we feel safe that our dog won't be around other dogs with kennel cough, and other harmful diseases. And the staff is friendly and efficient.
Brought my dog here for their self pet wash station. The folks here are friendly and helpful, and my typically standoffish around new people pup was social and greeted the girl there. Which to me says a lot. The place is very clean, and they sell some chew treats and toys here too. The pet wash station includes a pro blow dryer to get thick fluffy coats fully dry and looking their best. We would definitely recommend this place, and I'm sure we'll be back again.
We took our 18 year old cat to get her nails done and we have also taken our Golden retriever to be groomed and they to a great job and are very personable too!
Dogs had a great time visiting. They can't wait to get more dirt on them to come back.
I've used PAB for decades, they treat Corgis like they are family.
They took wonderful care of our Skipper. She tends to make herself sick when we're not around. But this boarding no phone calls! She was happy, we were happy. She acted like she'd been on a great adventure! Love Professional All-Breed Groomer, Daycare, and Boarding. I'd highly recommended!
This bath was the best! No cold hose water from the backyard, and I could step right into the tub! Mom scrubbed me down in toasty warm water and blew out my coat with the high powered drying snake! (I do need a Happy Hoodie for next time though) It was AMAZING! Would definitely bathe here again! ~ Carly 🐾 …
I was a little nervous leaving my little dogs to a place they had not been before. As soon as I met Lindsay the owner I felt totally comfortable. She was great! Oscar and Junebug didn’t want to leave! She did she did a wonderful grooming job! The dogs will be back!!😍 …
Everything went great! I left my two doggies there for one week. She took great care of them and they were totally healthy and happy when I came to pick them up. Lindsay washed all my blankets, bathed them and had their report cards with lots of great information:-) I am very pleased!! She is super organized and was flexible with my schedule. We will use her in the future!
We boarded our sweet Darla for the very first time last weekend, for our Wedding. Lindsay was great to communicate with before, during and after the event. She seems to really love dogs and know a lot about them. Darla was healthy and clean when we picked her up. Drop your dog here for daycare while you enjoy a spa treatment at Capon Springs up the road. It will be a spa day for all!
My dogs stayed here over the summer and had a great playing. They can be hard to handle at times but Lindsey knew just what they needed to settle in. She sent me pictures during their stay which put my mind to ease. She also grooms my pom pom every couple months. She is great with dogs and very knowledgeable when it comes to their needs and wants.
After a bad boarding experience, we only left our dog with family, until now! Lindsey is amazing and I was confident our boy would be well-loved while we were away. It was great to get updates throughout the week and come home to a beautifully groomed and (most importantly) happy fella. We will definitely entrust her with our dogs in the future! ❤️ Thanks Lindsey!
Lindsay was awesome to work with from the minute we called her to inquire about our "Buddy's stay" this summer. Her communication was great and she enthusiastically welcomed us when we arrived. Buddy was well loved and had a great time. He was so clean and looked great when we picked him up and even his blanket had been washed! Thank you, Lindsay for allowing us to feel comfortable during our vacation, knowing Buddy was in good hands. Wishing you all the best!
We have a 10 year old Lab and wanted to get a deep clean. This was our first time and I must say Lindsay put all our worries at ease. Not only were we pleased with the cleaning but it also made a difference in shedding she really got a lot of hair thinned out. Lindsay even touched bases with us to let us know he was doing well and sent a couple pictures which put us at ease. I would recommend her she is very caring and you can tell she likes what she is doing.
Lindsay made me feel at ease dropping my dog Lady off for grooming. She even sent pictures during the process and kept me updated the whole time. I warned her that Lady was temperamental around other dogs. She made sure she was kept from the other dogs to avoid a fight. She treated her as if she was her own and was very attentive. I will be returning to get Lady groomed again. Thank you Lindsay!
I boarded my one year old Ragdoll cat, Aidan, for a week while at the beach. Lindsey groomed Aidan during his stay and she did an awesome job! I am now going to have her groom him on a regular basis to prevent mats and keep him looking beautiful! I highly recommend boarding and grooming with Lindsey!
Needed someone last minute to care for our kitty during the holidays and Lindsay was awesome! She was very responsive and took true interest in him and his well-being, even giving his meds twice daily. Her updates during his stay helped us rest assured that he was in great hands!
I’m from Annapolis Md, and they did a wonderful job with my dog during Christmas while staying at Massanutten. Probably their busiest season. I was in a last minute bind to find a facility and fortunately they accommodated us. I was running late due to traffic, and they still made an effort to accommodate my tardiness. They did a wonderful job, and knew my dog’s personality by pickup a few days later. I was worried, but he was totally fine. It’s nice to be close by while away. Support good local businesses such as Sunny Ridge Kennels. Very very reasonably priced . They spend time with them and learn their behaviors. The staff are cool, get to know them. They treat you and your dog well.
The new owners Katie and Dustin are wonderful! They are loving and caring individuals who clearly love animals, dogs in particular. I know your pets will be in great hands when you board them at Sunny Ridge Kennels!
We’re thrilled to have found this safe, clean place to leave our husky when we are away. Mike was very patient with all my questions and made us feel confident about leaving our pup there. Sunny Ridge Kennels came highly rated to us and we will definitely be recommending to our family and friends. Thanks so much for caring for Sadie!
Our dogs went there, the owners were very nice to them and sent us pictures, we have a very senior dog and they went out of their way to make sure he was ok
Thanks for making my dog's first boarding experience as smooth as possible, especially considering my sweet but timid pup. Mike is a very thoughtful kennel owner, and it's clear how much attention to detail goes into running the business. From the way the dogs are let in, to separating the kennels by size, to the scheduled outdoor time, everything is well thought out. The environment is clean, the prices are great, and the setting is quiet. Highly recommend!
I have stayed a particular spring week yearly at Massanutten for many decades, and since having my own family with dogs, have tried to find the best fit for our pups during this annual week. The staff at MVOA highly recommended Sunny Ridge, and my 11 year old and I are so glad for the referral. We picked up our babies today, after a 5 night stay, and they seemed super excited from their own vacay (yet tired - a good thing for us after a long drive) and just as good spirits as when we left them. We hope to bring them back every year - Mike is attentive and clearly caring of all dogs that stay there. It was nice to feel like they were in good hands yet close if anything came up. Thank you for the peace of mind for us humans, but more importantly a fun & safe place for our 4 legged babies The 11 year old big (human) brother to our pug mixes highly recommends Sunny Ridge. As mom to both the little human and dogs, I highly recommend as well. Tobe & Pugs are excited for next year. Thank you!! See you then!
We left 3 of our well loved dogs with SR. We have boarded Many places over the years, and this may be my favorite. I noticed that Mike was very attentive to the vaccinations required, which I appreciated very much. The facility was clean and basically odor free! Mike was organized with our "stuff", knew the dogs by name, and did a follow up call. I felt that they were safe, and they handled one of my guys with kindness that is a special needs dog! I highly recommend Sunny Ridge.
I have a 130 pound 4 year old super active and sometimes territorial Great Dane and she is so happy at Sunny Ridge. She clearly adores Mike and runs right to him each time we arrive (which because of travel with my job is a lot). Mike has cared for our dog over weekends and for weeks at a time and I always feel completely confident in his care for her. He is incredibly knowledgeable about a variety of breeds and their health care needs and personality tendencies. Having a caregiver live onsite is super important. She gets lots of play time and special attention. I love that she has indoor and outdoor options and nutritious food provided. And no dog sleeps on the floor! We have boarded her in all seasons and can't imagine taking her anywhere else. Sunny Ridge is by far the best in the area!
Mike is amazing! Super kind and friendly. Took excellent care of our Frodo, she was fat & happy when she got home after an extended stay there. Remembered us when I called him again 4 months later. Can't recommend enough! 😁🐕🐕🦺🐩🐶♥️🏡🦴🐾 …
Mike took great care of our fur baby when we were away over the holidays. He was available for follow up and check in calls/emails. His facility was clean and my husband advised that he could see the animals were well cared for at drop off for our reservation. Mike bonded with our fur baby and even called to check in on him after we picked him up next day. Exceptional local business and owner. We will continue to refer this business and will only board at this facility going forayed for our pup!
We've been using Paws Awhile for over 15 years. This is the 3rd dog we've boarded... The kennel is very clean with large cage runs. Staff is professional, friendly, and give the animals lots of love, attention and personal care. Great price/value!
Great place for our big dog. He is 135 lbs and he is really happy to go there. No pace else for him
Our English Bulldog stays here when we go out of town on vacation since her was 6 months old and almost 7 years old I can’t saw enough good things about the sisters and the way the team cares for him. Max loves Paws Awhile Pet Motel
I cannot say enough positive things about PawsAwhile. Our family have been clients with Paws Awhile since 2017. We board, do daycare and have used their grooming services for our canine children. With confidence we know our "Boys" are well taken care of, in fact when we arrive for daycare they are very excited to see all the staff. Without hesitation we recommend this small business!
Teddy loved his time at PAPM!! Loved my daily photos of him by email and I so appreciated their attention to detail. PAPM truly loves what they do and I will be using them again to board Teddy!
My dog loves it here. We have been coming here for almost 20 years. Highly recommend.
The Sisters and their staff are so great with our dog. He’s pretty skittish and reactive around new people, but every time he runs right up to the person checking us in, which is a great sign. His preferred place is right at my feet at all times, but while we’re out of town, this is a perfect second best. The Sisters are incredibly accommodating, keep in touch with us if our pup gets sick, and generally just love the dogs. Can’t recommend them enough!
This place is wonderful! I'm so glad I found it. My pup has been coming here since he was old enough to get all the required vaccinations. He LOVES this place. The nuns (yes, nuns!) and staff are delightful, and the motel is set on such a beautiful property. They offer daycare and boarding for both dogs and cats, and have many activity packages and add-ons for your little fella if he/she needs extra playtime, walks, or snuggles. I highly recommend it! Edit: My pup has been "evicted" from this facility. He was recently boarded here for a 12 day stay while I was out of town. When I arrived to pick him up I was told he was no longer welcomed because he "wasn't picking up on another dog's cues during play time". Apparently my pup wanted to play with a dog that didn't want to play. There was no fight, and it was with only one dog, who he had played with in the past. I'm very upset over this, as I think the facility could have handled it differently. Every time I've picked my dog up from here, they always tell me he was a perfect gentleman. He's been coming here since he was about 7 months old, and he'll be two at the end of March. It's a shame he's been "banned" over this one incident. Edit: Adam from this facility reached out to discuss what apparently was a misunderstanding. I feel like we were able to clear up the issue and was reassured that my pup was still welcomed at Paws Awhile. This interaction was handled in a very polite and professional way, and I'm looking forward to getting my pup back into daycare and boarding.
From the moment we walked into Paws Hotel We loved it😍 We were greeted In such a warm and caring manner and the place was very clean . Mother Eirene suggested we leave Dakota for a weekend because our concern was We rescued Her and didn’t want her to feel she was being left again and we wouldn’t be back . It was a great idea she was fine so we felt good about leaving her for two weeks for our vacation . I was a mess we never have left any of our dogs at any boarding , hotel for animals . We made a great choice all the staff and sisters were wonderful, Mike the manager assured us not to worry All was going to be fine . If I could give more stars I would and I don’t give them easy. I called almost every day they never made me feel I was a bother 😀 Thank You all again for taking care of our Dakota⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They were very thorough during the check-in process to ensure they had all the information to care for our dog, including our vets information who we had to call to answer some of their questions. Our dog is the nervous type and they went to great lengths to calm him down and make him feel at ease. When we picked him up 4 days later he was happy, clean, and healthy. We will definitely be using Paws Awhile in the future.
Excellent service!! They did a great job trimming my dogs nails and so responsive! Very affordable
Our dog LOVES coming here! She runs to the staff with wagging tail at drop off. Have been using them for 10 years, great, long term team that cares about your dogs and give GREAT customer service. Have a new dog and love that we can kennel them together in an extra large suite with deluxe bedding and daily activities. Always end our stays with a bath and nail clipping.
The staff are really friendly here. When dropping my dog off, they said I could call or email to check on her if I wanted to. Check-in and Check-out was quick and easy. And most importantly, they took really good care of my dog while I was out of town. I will definitely board my dog here again the next time we travel.
Billy had a great time for his visit. Other dog owners will understand. When we get there, he is happy to jump out of the car and get inside. That is his "talking" about how much he enjoys it. And he is exhausted when he comes home. He has a great time. Billy recommends Wakefield.
My dogs have been boarding at Wakefield for years. They love it, always happy when we pull up. The managers Jennifer and Charlie are the best. I never worry when my dogs are in their care. Groomer Amy is a saint and my dogs love her! They used to be petrified of groomers until they met Amy. I have seen a few reviews posting ugly and fictitious statements about Wakefield and I can assure you as a customer for over 8 years the owners and employees love your dogs while they are there and treat them as their own. All other negative comments that have been posted are untrue and just an attempt to slander a reputable company for their own gain. The owner Andy is always accommodating and kind. I highly recommend Wakefield Kennel to board your dog and for all grooming needs! Absolutely love this place. I feel blessed to have a dependable, loyal, compassionate kennel and groomers for my dogs! Thank you Wakefield!!!
We board our dogs with Wakefield any time we go out of town. They really care about the dogs and want them to enjoy their stay! One of our dogs gets a little anxious, so the staff let him sit at the front desk with them to ease his anxiety. We use their grooming services as well and they do a fantastic job!
Wakefield always does an exceptional job. Our dog is like a child to us. So we need to know she is taken care of. The staff is incredibly friendly and very flexible with plans. Keep up the great job!!
Staff and facilities are excellent, and you can tell they really care about the dogs. We had a family emergency, and Wakefield was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request.
The staff at Wakefield are all exceptional. They always have given our dogs the best of care and their facility is so clean and welcoming. Our very old dog enjoyed the senior care and our new boy loves the walks and hikes and positive attention from the staff! We highly recommend Wakefield Kennel!
I boarded my dog here a few months ago while I had to travel to Utah for a week. I had never boarded my dog before and was nervous since he has some social anxiety and separation issues. When I got my dog back it was incredible. He was so happy and just seemed like he had a great time here. I know the next time I board my dog here he will be given so much love and attention he might not want me to come back!
First time boarding our two German Shepherds. We had a 9 day vacation planned and we're worried so much about how our doggies would do, how they would be when the get home, etc. Both our boys were great. They looked great and seemed very happy. The staff at Libery Hill/Pampered Paws were always very accommodating, even offering to send us text updates. We highly recommend!
Hello all. I’ve been boarding my doggie at LH for the past year typically when I have to travel overnight. Having said that, sometimes I board him because he is so happy there. As we drive down the road heading to LH, his ears perk up because he knows where he’s headed. The staff is always welcoming and R’s tail wags when he greets the staff. That is really what matters. They know his eating and sleeping habits and always give me a summary of his visit. On a recent visit he was on some medication and the staff at LH were on top of it. I know that when I drop him off, he’s in a excellent hands and gives me the peace of mind that he’s taken care of when I’m on the road. They are definitely a part of R’s extended family. :)
My dogs love it here and always come back healthy and happy.
Love this place. Little far from my house fir daily daycare but I board my dog there and they took her of her every time. I wish the best hung area was alittle bigger and cleaner
Great place that takes care of your pup. Have used multiple times for both kenneling and kennel/ training while away.
Just toured the facilities and i look forward to boarding my two dogs in the near future and recommending them to friends and family. Under new ownership and they have big plans. Im excited to see their completed upgrades and provide a much-needed service to this wonderful community.
*WARNING* I will simply state the facts. On 8/8/22 I boarded my 3 small Yorkies due to a out of state house hunting trip in which neither children nor dogs were allowed. My dogs were entrusted with the care of this facility until 8/20/22. We received a call on 8/16/22 in which we were informed that all of our dogs displayed symptoms of kennel cough. One dog was particularly unwell and was viewed as lethargic. We were asked if it would be ok if the dog could be scheduled to be seen by a veterinarian. We obliged and informed the facility of our local veterinarian's information. We received a confirmation call that informed us our dog would be seen by the vet on the following day 8/17/22. Our flight home had been delayed and we would not be home in time to retrieve "our babies" until after the facility had closed. The same evening on our way home from the airport we received another call informing us that our "pet was not doing well and not might make it through the evening if we did not retrieve him immediately". The "pet" in question was our beloved companion with no prior health issues to include a vet visit 3 days prior to being boarded with this facility. He entered this facility with a clean bill of health. At the time of retrievel our dog was found extremely dehydrated and hot to the touch, lethargic beyond movement, groaning, and could not walk nor move his extremities. The extreme nature of his condition was acknowledged and accompanied by a reminder of the bill due to the services rendered for the week of boarding. We rushed our baby to the nearest emergency veterinary facility in which he was diagnosed with sepsis pneumonia. Two days later accompanying a $5633.00 emergency veterinary bill, I was encouraged by the ER to contact the facility in order to establish a timeline of when the pneumonia had occured in order to make a life altering decision to allow my dog to continue life support or euthanize. No indefinite outlook could be diagnosed due to the lack of oxygen supplies to his lungs. He was in a oxygen supported kennel due to the lack of being able to breathe on his own. I was contacted by the owner after calling the facility. I inquired of the daily status of my dogs throughout their stay in which to establish the severity of not only the most ill but the other two diagnosed with health conditions. A timeline was not provided due to the owners inability to access those records "at the moment". I informed the owner of my dog's condition in which I was met with "I'm sorry" and akward silence.
It's hard to review the experience that your dog had while you weren't there, but as far as I can tell our dog had a blast for the week we boarded her here. The staff was very friendly and told us that she really enjoyed herself. The extra activities like swimming in the pool and hiking were exactly the kind of things she loves to do. So this was a great alternative to traditional boarding, though a bit out of the way for us. Obviously that's not their fault. Our dog came back very exhausted, which tells me she got plenty of exercise. Would definitely use them again for extended boarding.
Nice place, friendly staff, but I was misled on the price. I was given a price over the phone for 2 dogs, and when I picked them up I was charged per dog doubling what I had expected to pay. Won't do that again
I went to check this place out to board my dog. I found it to be filthy. I know the dogs play outside & bring dirt in but the walls, ceiling, windows & even the office was dirty. Years of dirt. It was hard to find the front door. The property was nice but unfortunitly I could not leave my dog there. ☹
