Fun and friendly family of four!
David, Jenny and family were SO sweet and are amazing pet sitters! They sent us frequent updates and pictures of the animals, and our animals clearly loved them. From snuggling to hiking, they took great care of our pets. We live in the jungle in rural Puerto Rico and they dealt really well with the trials that can come with that :) Our dog and one of our cats don't always get along and they listened to all the nuances of their finicky relationship and I felt confident that they took it seriously and knew what to do to avoid a problem They left the house beautiful and left us the sweetest gift of framed pictures of each of our animals! Their son is a wonderful photographer. We will definitely be keeping in touch with these guys :) and can't recommend them enough!

Diana was absolutely amazing to work with and did a fantastic job with my dogs. She has a lot of dog experience and patience for working with my shy girl, that needed extra attention. She was so accommodating to our schedule and has great communication. The house was spotless when we returned. If you’re looking for a house sitter you can trust to treat your furry family and home like their own, I highly recommend Diana. I feel fortunate to have met her, and I would happily invite her back anytime.

John was amazing with Chester - took great care of him and kept me updated often as to how he was doing. He took me to the airport and collected me when I returned. What more could you want. The perfect sitter!

Helen was responsive and willing to sit with only a few weeks' notice. She came a bit earlier than we had originally requested and left the house cleaner than it was before. Cricket was excited to see them and I felt completely at ease with their care. She sent several photos even though it was only a 24-hour sit. Very pleased.

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 ;-)

Female Traveller in Her 20s Eager to Care for Your Pets & Home!
Kate arrived on time, spent the night and got familiar with the house, was even kind enough to drop me at the airport. Came home to a happy dog, a spotless house and barely any evidence that she had even been here. Perfect sitter. 10/10

Loving, professional, communicative pet sitters.
Erin took great care of Daisy. I received several videos and pictures of Daisy over the stay!
Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.
Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden. The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom. Already scheduled a second sit! If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Martin was a very conscientious and thoughtful house sitter who took excellent care of our pets and our home. He was reliable, self-sufficient, and a very good communicator. He clearly enjoys and cares for animals, and our house was spotless when we returned. We recommend him wholeheartedly!
We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!
We had the pleasure of having Tara as our house sitter while we were away, and we can't praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Not only did she take excellent care of our home, but she also showed tremendous love and attention to our beloved dogs. From the moment Tara walked through the door, we could tell she had a genuine passion for animals. She immediately bonded with our dogs, and they seemed completely at ease with her. Throughout our trip, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which truly put our minds at ease knowing our boys were in great hands. Tara took great care of our home as well. It was evident that she respected our space and coming back home, we found everything just as we left it, if not even better! We highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she proved herself to be a responsible and dedicated individual. If you want to ensure your pets and home are in the best hands while you're away, Tara is the perfect choice. Thank you, Tara, for taking such incredible care of our dogs and home. You made our trip stress-free, and we're truly grateful.
Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days. We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was. We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out. All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely. Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for. The koi were also active and happy. Janis is a “cat whisperer”. She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background). Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children. They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish. We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again. If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.
Leo and Susi were wonderful pet sitters for our two cats. They were responsive, communicative, and gracious guests, and the I swear the house was cleaner when we got home than we left it. The cats were very contented. Any time we leave we will be checking in with them first. Such a pleasure to work with.
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
Heath spent a long weekend at my home taking great care of both dogs and the cat. He was able to help out on rather short notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in his care. Heath is friendly and reliable and left my home neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend him as a house/pet sitter for future assignments!

My dog Summer loves going to Blue Barn! She gets to play to her hearts content, and I always pick her up happy and exhausted. I also appreciate seeing photos/videos of the dogs on social media!
Wonderful assessment day for my great big anxious 6yo male Labrador Retriever. He came home wearing a big grin, bolted down a quick supper and fell asleep still grinning. He slept the next 13 hours with only 2 quick breaks when I made him go relieve himself! We can’t wait to come back!
I have used Blue Barn 3 times now for doggy daycare and have been extremely pleased each time. Kalem provided "valet" service yesterday, meeting me at the car with my dog during drop-off because he knew I was running across the mountain to a meeting and at pick-up, following a long day! This added touch meant so much! After a full day of playing with the other dogs and playing fetch with the staff, my pup comes home exhausted! We are set to board overnight in a couple of weeks - we are so grateful to have this new option available in our area! I would highly recommend Blue Barn!
Our dogs loved their stay Blue Barn. Everyone there is so friendly and really cares about each pup. The facilities are wonderful and secure. Artemis and Fable will be spending a lot of time playing with all their new friends at Blue Barn!
My dog is obsessed with Blue Barn, she can’t get out of the car fast enough to go say hi to all her new friends. She comes home so happy and tired, definitely worth your money. The people are also great, they quickly learn the personality of the dogs, I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog for a day or longer.
How do you begin to put into words what is simply the nicest addition to animal lovers and pet parents in the Staunton area! Blue Barn owners Holly and Kalem provide such a loving and safe environment for our 4-legged companions. Thank you Blue Barn Team! You have become like family!
Great people. Love the open range boarding.
A fantastic place to leave your animal. My dog is well cared for, loves Jason and is always happy to see him. We are very particular about leaving our sweet girl and never worry about her while we are away. Miss her terribly but never worry about her care! 😋 …
I really like this kennel! It's very difficult to leave my pup with anyone but Jason is really caring and thorough about special diets or shot records. The kennel is clean and well maintained. It's the only place I'll board my four-legged furry.
Boarded my cats here. The website is misleading for cat boarding. It says separate facility, which in my mind meant a separate building. The online picture of the cat room is NOT their facility. There are 4 large dog crates in a small storage room right outside of the dog room. Wish I could post a picture on here to show it.
Rainbow Springs Kennel is a fantastic boarding facility. Our dog was well cared for. The kennels are spotless and there is no odor (dog, cat, or chemicals). Jason is very kind, patient (our dog is a bit hyper) and answered all of my questions. Highly recommended
I recently had my first experience boarding my furbaby, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed with the care and attention provided by Jason at Rainbow Springs. From the moment I dropped off my little Bela, knew she was in good hands. The facility is super clean and there was no "kennel odor" at all. Jason is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly loves animals. He took the time to listen to my concerns and make sure that all of Bela's needs were met. When I picked up Bela, she was happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I would highly recommend Rainbow Springs to anyone in need of a safe, clean, and comfortable place for their furbaby. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Jason is great! I have taken my dog here many times now when I go out of town. She always goes right up to him and barely gives me a second glance when I’m leaving. It’s this reason alone that I fully trust leaving my dog here. Highly recommend!
Breathtaking views surrounding the property, very clean facility and excellent quality care was provided for our dog while we were away. Jason was friendly and communicated with us throughout the whole process. Our dog got a bath there and came home happy, fresh and clean. Highly recommend!
5 stars all around! First off, I was very impressed with how clean the kennels were. Prior to leaving my pup, I visited Rainbow Springs. The area where the dogs stayed didn’t smell one tiny bit! Jason is extremely helpful with all questions I had and my dogs needs. Colt doesn’t get along with all other dogs so I was very happy this facility didn’t let the dogs just mingle together. I was in Europe and emailed once just to check in. Jason was prompt with his response and very reassuring that Colt was doing fine! This is the first time I have boarded Colt and will easily send him back, he was well taken care of and I couldn’t be happier!
Rainbow Springs had last minute availability for Memorial Day Weekend (I called several places) AND online booking. Prices were a bargain as well. Kennels were clean and safe. Pup came back happy! We will board here again.
This is a fantastic place to take your dog for boarding. Arguably the best place in Augusta County. The prices are reasonable, the owner is very nice and obviously cares about the animals he boards. The location is absolutely beautiful and made me feel like my dog also got a dogs version of a vacation while we were at the beach. The online bookings are easy and super convenient. I love that you can add other services like 1 on 1 dog walks and baths. I really felt like my dog was genuinely cared for here and she came back looking and smelling exactly as she did when we dropped her off (we did not purchase a bath). Highly recommend!
