Pet Sitters in
Fort Monroe, VA

Sandra and Peanuts Pet Service took great care of our dog in our home while we were on vacation. Communication was great and our pup really liked Sandra. She visited several times each day and took care of other things around the house to keep it looking occupied. Will definitely hire again.

Beware of unprofessionalism and dishonesty. A month after being stationed in the HR area, we were in need of boarding for our two dogs. We told them that our small dog doesn’t get along with bigger dogs and puppies, but we were assured that he’d be kept separate, and that it wouldn’t be an issue. Ultimately, another dog attacked our dog and ours required surgery and overnight observation. The vet told us we’re lucky he wasn’t killed. Sandra assured us she’d cover the vet charges (over $1,000), but she never did. We reached out to her many times, and even offered to take repayment in installments. We’re now forced to pursue reimbursement through small claims court.

We showed up to drop our dog off and while waiting to find out if they could take our dog or not because "it was not a good time" our car alarm started going off. We were scrambling trying to turn it off since we realize that the noise is probably going to make the dogs rowdy and a lady who I assume is the owner walked out cursing at us. We were boarding her so we could focus on our wedding and we were already frazzled having so much stuff to do. I understand them being frustrated but the cursing was completely inappropriate and no way to treat potential customers. I will never go back again.

Sandra knows her stuff when it comes to dogs. She is reliable and dependable and I highly recommend her for petsitting!

Our annie has been going there since she was 8 weeks old love how the owner loves all the dogs there and great to calm me down when our annie might be sick and very knowledgeable of the breeds there

We’ve been taking our dog since he was a puppy and she’s been a lifesaver. Always willing to work with us with what ever situation arises.

Your pet is definitely in good hands. The staff is very compassionate!!!

Cage-free. My dog loves going to doggy day care here!

Only place we will ever leave our beagles. ❤❤❤❤

Very sweet staff and pets

The Fuzzy Oak did an outstanding job taking care of our boys while we were away. I reached out and received quality care on the same day without hesitation. Chanique adjusted her schedule to fit us in and for that I am grateful. There was constant and detailed communication on how our fur babies were doing to include pictures throughout the day and evening. Thank you for stepping in on such short notice and helping us so we could watch our daughter play in her national championship game. Highly recommend and will definitely be using their services again.

Rocky and I both love this company and the owner! Our first meet and greet was perfect. Mrs. Chanique is very professional and accommodating in every way. I love that she mimics our schedule so there is no confusion for my pup. Her spacious yard is the perfect place for my dobie.

The Fuzzy Oaks Tree is absolutely phenomenal when it comes to caring for our fur babies. To working, traveling, or even setting at home, families of our fur babies that not able to take their loved fuzzy out for a walk. I highly recommend Chanique and her team, they are remarkable at handling our loved fur babies, they not only walk them they play with them feed them, spend time with them. They love them the same as we love our fur babies. I’m very satisfied with their work, and I wouldn’t ask for a better team when it comes to handling my fuzzy baby. So tell your family and friends if they ever need someone to trust with love and respect of their fuzzy babies to please contact The Fuzzy Oaks tree team because they care as much as we do about our fuzzies…

Excellent dog walker, she very reliable and she can be flexible with the schedule. Plus the price for her walk is a great deal. I highly recommend her! 👍 …

Great service, very accommodating, great communication. I highly recommend dog walking & boarding services.

Friendly, great service. My puppy loves her time here.

Great dog sitter. Our families go to whenever we leave town and can't take the pup.

Yup, not coming back here anymore. They said everything was set to board my pet and that I just needed to show up. I get here this evening after work to board her and get DENIED because they said she didn't have the influenza vaccine. THEY COULD HAVE LOOKED THAT UP AND TOLD ME WHEN I MADE THE RESERVATION. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME SHE'S BEEN BOARDED HERE AND WE USE THE VET NEXT DOOR!!!! I LITERALLY JUST TOOK HER IN FOR VACCINATIONS A MONTH OR TWO AGO AND ASSUMED EVERYTHING WAS DONE ALREADY!!! 🤬 THANKS FOR SCREWING ME OVER AT THE LAST MINUTE!

I can’t say enough good things about this facility and their staff. I am a local firefighter and I have to board my dog 10x a month while I am at work and she absolutely loves going here. The staff is so friendly and they take such amazing care of her. She is a nervous dog and they have cultivated such a loving and nurturing environment that she just opens up when she goes there and stay with them. I would not trust her care to anyone else. Highly recommend to anyone

We all need more patience with the pets. Mine is one, Buck ( 67.7 lbs. Pitbull) He is like a toddler, trying to do stuff quick without you knowing it. They are good with Buck. It's Buck being Buck!# Thank you for what you do!! Be Blessed!!💜 …

We have used them several times and have always been pleased. The staff is great my pup is always well taken care of. We recommend for sure and will definately be using them again

This is the second time that we have utilized this establishment. The staff is great! Supper friendly and serious about taking care of our fur buddy. We will continue to utilize them. The price per night is very reasonable. I would suggest reservations for your fur buddy. Then, go and enjoy yourself without worrying.

My dog gets boarded there on average 2 weekends a month due to my work schedule. He loves them and they love him. The excitement that they have when Bentley comes in is rewarding to me, as a dog owner. I recommend them with no hesitation. Matter of fact, we are on our way to pick him up now.

They are always glad to care for my puppy and he loves going there!

We boarded our Aussiedoodle here for a week while on vacation. They recommended we leave an old t-shirt with her so she could still smell us with her while boarding, great idea. We left her with a chew toy also. We got everything we left with her back when we picked her up. She was in a great mood when we picked her up. She seems like she was well taken care of. Staff is very friendly. Other customers there with their dogs very friendly as well. We will board again.

We boarded our Dachshunds here while we were on vacation. Super friendly staff! Well maintained facility. Close to I64. If you are vacationing and want to sight see without the dogs - this is the place!

I have boarded my 70lb lab mix here twice. the first time for 8 days, the second time for 9 days. The staff is organized and caring. My dog comes back happy. Very reasonable prices. Each dog has a small outdoor space. The staff is accommodating to special needs like keeping them in a quiet inside room for 24 hours for dogs afraid of fireworks. Only downside is they don't have doggy daycare, so not any playtime other than once a day in the yard. The environment is safe and they are well cared for.

This was my first experience dropping my dog off to ruff house (va beach) for Labor Day weekend because we were going out of town. I picked this facility based on the great reviews. I didn’t tour the facility with my husband b/c front desk staff stated there was a certain time that we would have to come in and we had to work. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary upon dropping her off. We did elect for play time for one day which was an upcharge. We never received pictures or updates regarding my dog. However we called Saturday and was told everything was going well and that she’s wagging her tail. She seemed happy she just wasn’t eating a lot. On Sunday we picked her up and she was panting like she was hot or didn’t have water. She looked a sweaty mess. I thought let me take her home in bathe her she might be overly tired. She slept all day Monday like she was depressed. As an update I called to speak to the manager Tuesday. The manager never came to the phone only relaying messages to the front desk staff that Asa wasn’t outside Sunday and they’re not sure why she was sweaty and panting. She seemed fine on Saturday when she was playing. Also I asked about room temp in the kennel and they stated it was 72 degrees which is a little in the warm side in my opinion. I will not be bringing my dog back. Unprofessional that the manager didn’t want to listen to my concerns.

Thank you all so much for taking care of our boy Milo. I was nervous at first leaving him for the first time since we've had him but with the staff taking pics of him everyday (I made sure to check lol) gave me and my family a warm fuzzy that he was being taking care of. I like the little report afterwards thats lets me know how he did as well. I look forward to bring him back for a future doggy daycare session to get accustomed to other pups. Thanks again!

The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and inviting. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted Sadie with genuine warmth and care, making her feel right at home. Their attention to detail and personalized approach made the entire experience exceptional. It was clear they prioritize customer satisfaction and go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable and valued.

We boarded our two guinea pigs and we were so pleased with how clean their cage was when we picked them up. Their hay bag was full and there was food in their bowl so we know they were well taken care of. I also appreciated them being in a quiet area. We will definitely be back! We have boarded at another kennel previously and the difference is night and day. We highly recommend The Ruff House for your small animal boarding needs.

I was really worried about taking my dog to boarding/daycare for the first time but ruff house was nothing but helpful, accommodating, and kind. They were very quick & helpful when responding to all of my questions throughout the “onboarding process” & during my dogs stay! He tested into daycare and I’m so excited to see him grow and be properly socialized with other dogs in a controlled, safe environment. When I first received pictures of my dog playing with others, my heart melted. Thank you ruff house!!

It was my first time ever leaving my fur babies at a doggy boarding facility. The atmosphere is very clean. The staff is very nice and relaxed. They treated my babies really well and made sure that I knew they did well while I was gone. They’re very alert when it comes to their boarders and I love that. Will definitely be using them again in the future.

We had a wonderful grooming experience with Judy! Our pup came home happy, healthy and looking so handsome! We would highly recommend the Ruff House for their grooming services!!

Boarded our pup for the first time and we are so happy we picked Ruff House. The pictures taken during his stay shows how much he enjoyed it. They took such good care of him! We will definitely use them again for both boarding and grooming services.

I really wanted to love this place. I’ve taken my dog here twice. The first experience seemed great.. he was super tuckered out, and they took a ton of photos. Based on that, I decided to bring him back. This time, things were different. I didn’t really get much with the photos which I'm not too worried about, but he came home with an unusual amount of energy and INSANELY thirsty. He sprinted to his water bowl and i had to refill it twice.. which confused me. He’s not the kind of dog that requires constant stimulation to relax, so it felt odd. I had also requested a full groom for him, but when I picked him up, he didn’t smell fresh, which made me question if he even received a bath. At first, I let it go, but only a week later and he's showing signs that his anal glands are full. Now I’m wondering if I was charged for services that weren’t provided. To make matters worse, he has kennel cough. I don’t understand how dogs get sick in facilities that require updated vaccines. He’s never been sick before, and I feel awful for him.

I can't say enough good things about the Ruff House! They are AWESOME and always make sure my dog, Stella, is well taken care of. The staff is so attentive and loving, making Stella feel right at home. They even manage to give her baths, which is always a challenge at home. Although Stella misses us while we're gone, she has the best time at the Ruff House. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring boarding facility for their furry friends!

If you’re looking for a doggy day care, stop searching, you found the one! If I could give 10 stars I would. This was my first time ever dropping off my husky Koda (5 years old) to anyone’s house other than family. I was nervous and I knew he would be to. Tamara and her husband reassured me and did everything they could to make Koda and I comfortable. She sent me real time updates and photos of what he was doing. She let me know how he was doing in the day and at night. His first night was rough being there without anyone he knows, but they kept him company and by night two he was comfortable and felt at home. When I picked him up I could tell he did not want to leave! I will for sure be bringing Koda back here in the future. Thank you Dappy Dayz Dogs!

Excellent customer service! Tammy and her family always take care of my puppy. Highly recommend. He always jumps up and down as soon as I say let's go to daycare. He runs out the car excited to see his friends. 😃 …

First time leaving my girl Dixie with someone other than family. We went on a trip with family so that wasn’t an option so I reached out to Tammy at Dappy Dayz & I couldn’t be anymore pleased! My girl had the best time ever and I enjoyed receiving pictures seeing how happy Dixie was! Definitely recommend and will use her in the future! Thanks again Tammy!

Tamara & Dappy Dayz was an absolute blessing & life savor! She was understanding of my situation & was willing to take my boy, Jax, on such short notice for a few days. I felt a peace leaving him at Dappy Dayz & would highly recommend this place for all your fur babies!

When we moved to Virginia Beach, we tried a couple of popular kennels in the area for our geriatric pup and our kitty, and we had issues at both. Then I found Tami, and I'm so grateful we did! Tami and her family take care of our pets like they're their own. Tami is great about sending photos and updates, and is so patient with our geriatric Corgi. I wouldn't feel safe leaving them with anyone else! Thank you Tami and T!

I was very nervous about sending my fur-babies to daycare especially since one is a pandemic pup and not fully social. When I dropped them off I felt so comfortable (I normally cry). Tammy explained how she would slowly introduce the other pups to mine so they won’t be overwhelmed. I’ve noticed so much improvement in my pandemic pup now that he is going to Dappy Days. Very patient and loving provider!

Tammy and Tee have been the absolute best this year. I moved here not knowing anyone and needed to quickly find somewhere I could trust to watch my dog, Hank. The first time I dropped him off he was nervous, but that was also the last time. Every time I dropped him off for a weekend he couldn’t wait to get out of the car to play, which made me feel really reassured that he was still happy and safe when I was away. Tammy and Tee were also always extremely accommodating to my schedule and flexible when I needed to change something last minute. They also sent me pictures of Hank every time I was away, which I loved and made me feel better. I am so grateful for their help and for treating Hank like their own. I wish I weren’t moving so I could keep going to them; Hank will definitely miss it there! I would undoubtedly recommend Dappy Dayz to anyone!

Tami and her family are incredibly wonderful caregivers. They make my dog feel like she is a part of their family. I loved the photo updates she sent to put my mind at ease during her first long-term stay with them (5 days). My dog also really enjoyed their doggie daycare! Tami really knows dogs and their behaviors - the dogs are watched and safe. My dog came home happy to see me, but equally comfortable in Dappy Dayz care. I feel so fortunate to have found such a great place for my dog to go for both long-term stays and daily doggie daycare.

Tammy and her family has taken such great care of my dog. I appreciate the schedule set up in place for the dogs, such as activities, nap time, lunch/dinner/snacks, and recess! The at-home environment is exceptional and has been a great place for my dog to receive care. He used to go to a kennel set up, but the setting was not an ideal place for him because there was no structure, the animals ran loose, and the staff were unprofessional and unskilled; basically setting my dog up for failure. Dappy Dogz is the total opposite! My family and I truly appreciate their dedication and attention in taking care of the pets. Thank you!! ☺️

We used Dappy Dayz on a regular for over night stays. Having a 24 hour shift, it’s hard to find someone reliable to watch your animals at a decent price. Having our paths cross a couple years ago, I was able to reach out to Tammy on a personal level to inquire of her up and coming business. Her and her family took our pup in with open arms, allowing him to socialize with other dogs, maintaining his feeding routine and sleep schedule. We actually felt guilty taking him home because he clearly was having a blast with his friends. She was flexible with our rotating schedule, accommodating for weekends and last minute day trips. We will forever sing their praises and we look forward to watching their business grow.
