Pet Sitters in Geer, VA

I was recommended Sammy’s Dog Walking service by my colleagues when I rescued my dog 3 years ago. We have had a great experience with Sammy’s service. Lindsay, Acacia, Jana are wonderful walkers who take care of my Natalie like she was their own. I’m so grateful to have them to walk her while I’m at work.

I have used Sammy's service for the past 6 years. They are professional, reasonably priced, and totally reliable. I would recommend them to anyone who needs dog walking services. Way better than Rover! The picture attached is one of many photos sent to me by one of Sammy's employees. It makes my day getting those pictures every time they take them for a walk.

We have used Sammy’s service for over 5 years and had a great experience! Sammy is very responsive and his staff are highly communicative. Our dog has had great love and care from the team, Sammy even snapped this amazing picture on a random weekday walk. We are so thankful for Sammy and team!

Sammy’s Dog Walking, and especially Scarlet, have been an absolute delight to work with! Scarlet has been walking our pups for over two years now. She is incredibly caring, reliable, and always communicates wonderfully. Our dogs adore her, and I love receiving the daily photo updates from their walks—it’s clear they’re having a great time. Sammy’s service is not only top-notch but also local and very cost-efficient compared to other pet care services in Charlottesville. Highly recommended!

Scarlett is amazing! She always checks in with me to schedule walks for our pup and is consistently timely. She also sends pictures and a quick update on what she and the pup are up to during their walk. Scarlett goes above and beyond to care for our little guy. When she's away on vacation or when I need an off-hours walk, she always finds coverage and communicates excellently. I fully trust and highly recommend Sammy's Dog Walking

I have been using this service for several years now and have been nothing but happy and grateful. Sammy and his walkers really love dogs, and they are reliable and professional. I can always trust that my dog will be in good hands.

Sammy has a great team. We have a regular walker who is awesome and never fails to send us an update and photo each day. She is also able to cover us for trips or vacation and if she can't she contacts another walker in Sammy's network to cover. It is awesome, you don't have to figure it out and they have backups for everyone. Expect to pay extra for holidays and if you cancel last second (both of which totally make sense and we are fine with because the quality of service is so excellent). We never worry when Sammy's team and our primary dog walker are taking care of our fluff duo (dog and cat).

I highly recommend Sammy and his team for cat-sitting! We were very pleased with the level of care, frequent communication, and professionalism!

All of Sammi’s dog walkers are spectacular! I have had only a great experience with him and his team the last 5 years, highly recommend!

Ruby’s walkers, mainly Jana and Renee, are simply wonderful. They know and love Ruby and we couldn’t be happier knowing she has such caring, reliable, fun people to walk with every week.

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!

Just had my goldendoodle's ears groomed due to matting and her nails trimmed. Amazing, fast service! The owner Amy explained how to prevent further matting issues and took the time to show me what tools I need to buy for future use. It was very clean and everyone was super friendly. Highly recommend this groomer/kennel.

I never thought I would use a dog daycare. This experience has been so good for our Oreo. He loves Amy and her team of caregivers. He is becoming much calmer at home and doesn't jump on people like he use to. I highly recommend this dog daycare.

I boarded my energetic 1-year-old puppy at Canine Country for a week, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Amy and her team provided exceptional care and service throughout. They kept me updated with regular photos and updates, which I greatly appreciated. The staff is always welcoming, and my little guy loves spending time there for daycare as well. Highly recommend Canine Country for anyone looking for quality pet care!

I am so glad we stumbled upon Canine Country when searching for boarding options for our dog. He *loves* it there - so much so he starts getting excited when we turn on the road to "camp". Having the option to get him groomed by people he already knows and trusts is also a huge plus, and Amy takes great care in ensuring that she and the team know your grooming preferences. The love that Amy and her staff have for each pup that comes through the door is so obvious and I can't imagine taking him anywhere else. We're lucky enough to live just 15 minutes from Canine Country, but we'd bring our dog there no matter the distance - it's simply the best.

Absolutely fantastic kennel. The whole set up is great. The turnout is large with agility obstacles and a shaded area for the hot days. The sleeping quarters are large and warm. All the dogs seem very happy. Amy and her team are completely delightful and very knowledgeable. It’s very clear that everybody who works there loves their work and adores the animals. They take wonderful care of them. Our extremely neurotic Viszla loves it so much there, but he starts whining and barking with excitement when we turn onto the driveway! Which is really saying something… We are so happy that we found Canine Country. It’s very difficult to leave your beloved pets in the care of someone else, but I am completely at ease, knowing Bonzo is with the team there.

I have been coming here with my dogs since January 2009; Amy and her staff are amazing. We use their boarding and grooming services several times a year. It is the ONLY place I will take my fur babies. Starting this year I am also going to start using their daycare services. My babies love it here, and that's important to me.

Skipper's 6 to 8 week grooming. Always perfect. She looks great 👍. Highly recommend. Thankfully, Skipper is an 8 pound Yorkie; I hope she was well-behaved for Amy. 🤔 We've been coming here for about 2 - 2.5 years and Amy has always taken great care of Skipper. …

Our dogs love Amy and crew at Canine Country!

A year ago we adopted our Bailey. He has been going to Canine Clippers for Doggy Day Care and for grooming since that time. Bailey loves it. He adores Amy and Chelsea. He knows which day he goes to Day Care and wakes up excited. We trust Amy and Chelsea completely with Bailey. They have done wonders with a precious little dog that we love. Canine Clippers is a wonderful place for dogs!!!

I have used The Canine Clipper for both pet grooming and boarding many times. Amy is great when ever you drop the pets off she gets right down on the floor and makes the pets feel welcome. Boarding - Amy and her family are great with pets. When the pets stay with her they are part of the family instead of being locked up in cages and alone. She has plenty of area for the dogs to run around and play in which is great. Grooming - We have gone to the Pet Smarts, but a lot of times those people just don't care about the pets and are mean. Amy takes very good care of them, listens to you on how you want them to look, and they come out looking great and happy. I would never hesitate to recommend The Canine Clipper to anyone.

We take our dog, Bessie, here a couple of days a week, and she LOVES it! We enjoy watching her on the webcam, and the staff is so patient and gentle with her. It's obvious they all have a love for dogs, and I have and will continue to refer people to them!

I have to change my original post of what a great place this is. For the past 2 out of 3 times (both on the weekend) I've boarded my dog, pick up was awful. I always send extra medication for her and during the weekends she stayed, the extra medication was not returned. The 1st time it happened the final explanation was that it was given to another dog who takes the same medication. Having it happen a 2nd time is just too much! It makes me wonder if the other dog was given all of my dog's medication I'd sent. The Friday afternoon and weekend staff is so disorganized and undertrained as to protocol for giving meds. My dog loves going to dogtopia and I will probably still take her for the day and possibly to board if it's during the week, but do not trust that on weekends she will be properly cared for. It's a shame that such a wonderful resource has gone so downhill.

I am so happy to have found Dogtopia! It took my dog, Jane, a while to settle in and get comfortable but now she whines to go! She and I both love Dogtopia, not just for day care but for boarding as well. Every staff member sincerely loves dogs and I feel good every time I leave her in their loving care - and so does she!

Perfect doggie daycare the location is about 7 minutes away from my place of work. The hours of drop-off and pickup work great for me.

Makes getting to work so much easier when I know my pup is going to have a good day too. Front desk staff is great! Friendly and efficient. My pup is always so eager to see them.

Their website says "recommend" 3 days of daycare before dog boarding. "RECOMMEND". So I was surprised when I called and they said it's "required". My dog has done plenty of doggydaycares and boardings and have never had this much difficulty getting a business to take my money. How about updating your website? Thanks!

I use Dogtopia to allow my girl Reese to socialize and get a break from her job as a bike shop dog. She loves to go and be able to run around and play, I feel comfortable knowing there is always someone supervising and breaking up any possible aggressions. She is usually asleep by the time we pull out of the parking lot! Their hours are perfect for me since you can pick up until 7:30pm....I work till 7pm, otherwise there's nowhere else I could take her and she would miss out on so much FUN! I also love that I can log in and see what she's doing with their video camera access. We both LOVE Dogtopia!!

We had previously been using a different dog boarding place in Charlottesville, but we recently decided to reevaluate! Enter in Dogtopia - our pup LOVES it! He just spent his first weekend at Dogtopia and he’s been asleep ever since returning home. We love the webcam features, and we even opted to have his nails trimmed and that he get a quick back before check out. They had him squeaky clean when we came to pick him up! Overall - great price, great people, great services, 15/10! Thanks, Dogtopia!

Was informed before the meet and greet that they have a no exceptions policy that dogs must be neutered by the age of 7 months, but 2 vets and a quick Google search show the absolute conclusion that is better,at least for larger breed dogs like my lab, to wait until they're at least a year. Can you imagine a daycare requiring you to vaccinate your children before theyre ready to attend? Response to response: really, no consensus? study for a study? Google "when to neuter my lab" and see if you cant gather a quick consensus. I cannot find a single study remotely suggesting to neuter before 9 months, with 12 to 18 months seeming to be the most common recommendation, but everyone seems to be 100% agreed that doing it too early commonly leads to health issues including joint issues and cancers!

Always a great experience! The Webcams provide great peace of mind. My dog is excited whenever we drop him off and tired when he comes home. The staff is friendly and they remember my dog each time we visit, even though he is an infrequent visitor.

We desperately needed a daycare that was accommodating to our once shy puppy, and ATP has made him the most confident boy by placing him in a room that suits his energy levels, size, and play style! Our dog is, respectfully, obsessed with us. And yet, as soon as we walk into ATP he is all wags for the workers and wants to sprint into the playroom immediately! We have absolutely loved this place for weekly play dates, and would recommend to anyone.

They are very accommodating, and work with your dog’s personality and any needs. We bring our Toller Mickey here all the time and really appreciate having a locally owned and operated doggy daycare in town. She has boarded once and did great as well!

My dog loves going to day care here! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are going. I originally started using this beautiful facility in case we need to board while we're away. They require a thorough assessment on site, then day care before agreeing to board a dog, so they can gauge their temperament. The front desk staff are very welcoming and make each dog feel special when they come in. I highly recommend!

Never answer the phone when one calls, neither the voicemails! Have been trying to call for several days only to listen they cannot accept our pet because it's not neutered, when the main reason we went to this place it's because they accepted non-neutered dogs in the first place, and now they changed their rules to their own convenience. Not professional in many ways and disappointed for not keeping their word.

We took our puppy for training here and had such a good experience—both in classes and in a private 1:1 session—that we brought both of our dogs back for daycare. We have been so impressed with how loving, kind, and accepting the handlers and staff are of our two dogs, who have very different needs. The puppy had lots of experience at ATP already and was so excited to be back. Our nearly five year-old dog is deaf and also has anxiety, and while she struggled to get acclimated, the handlers went the extra mile to try and get her to warm up to them and she ended up having a wonderful time! It's not easy to find a place where our older dog feels safe and comfortable enough to play and engage with other pups. Thanks so much, ATP, for making daycare possible for our special needs dog!

We have had a wonderful experience with All Things Pawssible. They are always so friendly and caring towards the dogs and seem to know them all by name! They worked closely with our nervous rescue dog to get her acclimated into daycare. We really appreciate the extra attention that they gave her and the great communication they provided to update us on her progress in class! I definitely recommend their doggy daycare!

First doggy daycare experience for both my 10-month-old Pomeranian puppy and me. The staff are very attentive, the facility is clean and when I picked my dog up at the end of the afternoon, she was appropriately pooped out and happy. I will use them again!

I have been taking my pups to ATP for about five years and am extremely pleased with the care they receive. The staff treats my dogs like family (read: spoil them) and my pups love going! We have also taken classes several times over the years and have always found them a fun, great way to connect with my pups. Karen knows how to get the best out of you and your pup in a fun way! If you are looking for a place that understands your dogs are your family, creates an environment in which dogs flourish, and provides enough exercise to wear your pups out :), then ATP is for you!

I cannot describe how amazing this daycare is. They take the time to really know and understand the personality and quirks of every dog they take care of. They always have staff in the rooms with the dogs, and keep an eye out to make sure no dog is getting harassed. They also make sure all the dogs are not getting overheated, too cold, etc. For example I have a big old golden/black lab mix who loves to sit in the sun. We moved down from Maine this summer, and he was not dealing with the heat adjustment well. The staff at All Things Pawsible kept him safe by only letting him go outside for ~5 mins at a time when it was hot out, which is extra work for them, but they did it anyway. This is the only place I've left my dog where I have felt truly comfortable, aka not worried at all. I'd recommend contacting them for daycare, and they likely will have a waitlist, so call early. Tldr: amazing daycare & boarding, the only business I have ever completely trusted with my dog. Update as of 6/13/2022: Still an amazing daycare. They helped accommodate my elderly dog to go as long as he was able, and my younger dog still goes there. The staff here really care about the dogs, and I still would strongly recommend this daycare. It's still worth driving to the opposite side of town to be able to take my dogs here.

My 2 Australian Shepherds recently used the doggy daycare services at All Things Pawsible. Our experience was excellent. As a new client, I was able to fill out the registration questionnaire online and provide the proof of vaccination paperwork during check in. The dog temperament evaluation went smoothly and our dogs were assigned to a play group. The staff is excellent and caring. They provided positive feedback about our dogs play styles and how their day went. My dogs seemed happy and tired when we picked them up and they slept all the way home. I would not hesitate to use their doggy daycare again.

We are new to town and wanted to get our dog’s nails trimmed before moving into a house with new floors. The Dogg House answered the phone to answer my questions and allow walk-in appointments for nail trims. They were so patient with my large (and to my surprise, anxious) dog. The staff was understanding, accommodating, and loving toward my boy and I can assure you that they are indeed dog people.

Wow!! From the wonderful staff to the CLEANLINESS of the facility, I will definitely be boarding my dog there again. Highly recommend!! This is my dog after I picked her up!

They did a very good job on my dogs nails. the price was the best I have seen around here. the workers handled my dog very well. the workers were very nice to me and my dog. they did a very good job. When they gave her a haircut she looked so beautiful when they were done with the haircut. best groomer I have ever been to.

Great experience! My dogs stayed for a week. Our experience was great. The kennel is very clean and positive. The staff clearly understand dogs and care for them in a skillful and loving manner! They are highly competent!

I love this place! I have a very large yellow lab and trying to cut his nails at home is close to impossible. I walked in and they took him right away, cut his nails perfectly and it was awesome. Highly recommend!

This is a great place for cat boarding. I had to travel for work and left my kitten with them for 11 days. It was the first time she was left alone since I adopted her, and I was initially nervous. They fed her the special kitten food I provided, gave her her favorite treats every day, and let me leave a shirt with my scent and her favorite toy with her. She was very happy when I picked her up and seemed completely stress-free. Everyone was very amicable and answered any questions I had. I will be using them again for cat boarding and recommend them.

We moved to the area a little over a month ago. Before the move I realized groomers in Cville were hard to find due to shortages. I called the Dogg House thinking the wait would be 6 months and I was delighted to find out we could get in only a few weeks after our move! This might not be the case for everyone. Maybe the timing was just right. I am so thankful we found a good groomer for our scottish terrier. The scottie cut is not easy and can be done poorly. Not at the Dogg House. Our guy came home looking the same as he always has. Thanks so much. Very nice staff as well.

When we moved here 5 yrs ago, I was really nervous about where to take my dog for boarding and grooming. The Dogghouse has been an absolute blessing! The entire place is extremely clean and well organized. Every staff member has always been beyond amazing. My dog absolutely loves it there whether he is staying for awhile or just going for a bath. This tells me that he is well taken care of and he feels loved and comfortable.

Spent a few days hiking at Shenandoah and my pup urgently needed a bath afterwards before heading home. Megan was very nice and was able to get a same day appointment for my dog! She was ready in a little over an hour, she was clean snd smelled great!

I get my dog groomed here regularly, and they always recognize him and greet him. He's a pretty nervous pup, but he does very well with them. They are professional and reasonably priced. Would recommend.

I am very pleased with the salon services. The staff was very pleasant and treated my pup well. He looks really nice, and the services were fairly priced. He will definitely go back.

Beau needed a bath, body trimmed, and nails trimmed. Amy did it all for a fair price. When I tried to do all that during Covid, I learned how skilled you need to be to accomplish that without nicking your dog. Well done.

I called this place last minute as I was heading home, with the intention of just getting information, and Amber was super awesome, squeezing me in to get my dog Scooter's nails trimmed, telling me she can get him trimmed if I can get there before closing. Well, I cut it extremely close, but she was willing to stay a little late just to take care of us. Super awesome place, super awesome staff!

I know my nervous rescue pup is always in understanding and gentle hands when she visits Amy for a bath and haircut! She looks wonderful (and smells like heaven!) every time, and I feel safe and confident leaving her in their care. She never has to sit in a kennel waiting for too long (which I greatly appreciate!) so we give them two paws up!

Not very dog friendly, they want you in and out and they like small dogs because they’re easier to handle charged me 45 for nails and a bath and I come back with a wet dog and half the nails done ** after the owner lying response: wow those are sad excuses, I have a normal groomer that usually does him and nothing like this has ever happened came here on a whim, I guess your groomers are not experienced, and the call was to see what was happening no rush was asked, did not even do his nails either with cracks all over. And safety you locked him in a cage cold and wet and he came out happy after I rescued him from this hellish place. And your employees were talking trash about my dog and me in front of my face. Responding again: yeah went to a couple of petsmart before finding a private groomer there not amazing either but yours is even worse also going through my other reviews is sad and creepy ANYONE LOOKING AT THIS PLACE BE WARY

Today was my first grooming experience for my two Havanese puppies. They look fantastic! My experience was top notch and the staff was courteous and professional. Both puppies look adorable and I am highly recommending this salon. Thank you Pet Motel and Salon for such a great job!

They do a great job grooming both my puppy and my senior dog. The staff there treats them like their own fur babies.

I've been taking Max to this cutlery for 10 years maybe more but they're pretty good at what they do the only thing I don't like is the price but the economy changes so they have to get paid also but I've always got treated with respect

My dog went here perfectly fine and picked her up limping on three legs no explanation just she was sensitive to touch which she wasn’t and hasn’t been refusing to pay vet bill will never go again

I live in Harrisonburg and have had struggles finding a groomer who can take care of my standard poodle and I will say the hour drive is worth it! Stone Cold comes out looking perfect and so happy every time and I can’t say how much it makes me happy!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Heidi is the best!! She is extremely responsible and dependable. We trust her implicitly being in our home and especially with our dogs. All of our dogs adore her. We use Heidi for daily visits while we are at work as well as staying in our home with the dogs if we are out of town. We love that when we come home from a vacation our dogs are happy to see us, but not ecstatic. To us that means our pack totally trust Heidi too and love having her stay with them! That means the world to us!!

Heidi has been the best dog walker my basset and I have had. She’s incredibly dedicated and helpful. Heidi goes the extra mile for her clients, She is very flexible. And of course my dog loves her! I can’t recommend Heidi enough.

Heidi always takes good care of our dog. I feel so much better knowing she is there watching him and our house when we are away.

Well there are so many qood qualities I seriously don't know where to begin. 1. If you have a last minute emergency she will jump hoops to clear her schedule to help you. I have experienced this when I ended up in emergency room. 2. She cares about you as well as your pets. I live alone and had to have someone tell me why my back was itching. She put on her nurses cap and took a look. And solved the problem. It had nothing to do with my cats or dogs. She is not a nurse but was willing to look. 3. She follows a strict ethical standard.. You can totally trust her integrity. I never tried handing her a signed check and told her to fill in the cost, but I am certain she would be honest and fair. That's a rare quality! 4. She is reliable. If she needs to be late or early she will confirm the change with you. Somebody else may have an emergency. But she will take care of your pets. 5. Her rates are more than fair. You will get a lot of service for your money. 6. She follows your routine. She doesn't claim to know it all. If you want something done a certain way that is the way it will be done. 7. She loves the animals. 8. She never met a stranger. She will converse with you as if you have known her all your life. I am a widower living alone all of a sudden. You can understand how this was helpful to a person experiencing a traumatic loss.

Wow. Not sure were I would be without Heidi. She loves you animals as if they were her own. I would not hesitate to hire her! I am glad she feeds my crew of dogs. Kevin.

Carter enjoyed his stay, he eat good and seemed quite happy there.

I was not impressed. There is no signage at the property at all to assist with finding the place. The outside is not well kept at all. I thought the place was abandoned when I went by it the first time because of the state it was in and the fact there is no signage. This is usually an indication of what the inside looks like. It smelled like dogs and was filthy. My dog smelled terrible when I picked her up. Her eyes were crusty from running, no doubt due to the filth. She was starving when I got her home and at least half of the food I took was still in the bag when there should’ve been only two servings left. I will not board there again.

I found Canine Concierge and Mary online. We are new to the area and were in a bind to find a place for our dog to stay while we were out of the country. Mary was helpful and flexible and most importantly, trustworthy. Our dog had never been boarded before and she absolutely set our mind at ease from the moment we met her. We will definitely use Canine Concierge’s services again!

I've been boarding my two dogs here for years. The proprietor is flexible, super easy to work with, has insights and skills that I trust. She also has been very helpful adapting to the needs of my aging dog. Highly recommended.

Mary and her staff treat the dogs as if they were their own. My 10 y o.golden loves her stays at the farm. I would not trust her to judt anyone. I feel confident she is in capable hands with Mary Marks. The room is well suited to Doggy comfort and she is allowed on the couch...something not permitted at home.

Mary does a great job with the dogs. We have used her many times and my dog jumps out ready to go with her without hesitation. Half the time he didn't even allow me to say bye, he's so be to be there.

Mary is great! My dogs love her! Highly recommend!

Trustworthy. Great communicator. Easy to work with.

I've been taking my Arley here since we moved to Charlottesville almost a decade ago. Katie, et. al, have treated us so well the whole time. She's 15 now, and a medium-sized dog, so not the easiest to groom/navigate, but you wouldn't know it. They are so kind, caring, and compassionate with her (and with me). Not to mention, she looks beautiful every time she goes for grooming. The communication is excellent, and the staff is wonderful. I have so much gratitude for this place and take comfort in knowing how well-cared for my girl is in their hands.

I boarded my cat, Kitteran, at Creatures Great & Small last October. Very nice facilities - clean, spacious, and well-lit. Kitteran receives an inhaler twice a day, and they were able to accommodate his medication schedule with ease. Thank you!

We have 2 very fluffy small dogs and Creatures Great & Small is the only place that I trust grooming them (especially our 17 year old senior dog with health problems). They always handle him with extra care and I know he's in great hands when we drop him off. The staff really cares and takes pride in what they do. Our dogs always come out happy and looking great! Everyone that works there is very friendly, professional and we've never had any issues booking.

Pepin is a big guy (27” at shoulder) who first came to Creatures Great and Small 2 years ago for grooming. He was terrorized and fought them on the nail clipping and fur clipping, especially around his feet and face. Now he behaves and walks right in to the shop on arrival. These folks know their dogs! Jasper and the others do a great job on him, retaining his Briard look in the face but providing him a more comfortable, shorter coat. Great place!

They wouldnt let me come in, because I was carrying a bag. The owner is obviously upset over that. I didn't even get a chance to see if the facilities would have worked for my sweet Willow. They don't deserve her anyway. Post your tape. This place is horrible. Ive been treated rudely and havnt even seen the facility. Im definitely going to the Cat Care Clinic. (Psa to customers, don't bring records on your pets) If you want people to read your door signs you should let them get within 10 feet of the door. Also I will reiterate again that I was trying to be a customer. I'm sorry that you don't get that. I am also sorry you don't understand multitasking. I stopped by to ask a few questions, as I had just adopted a cat. I also work with small businesses, so I figured I would also see if they needed my services. As soon as I pulled up the lady came out and started saying repeatedly (I'm just going to point in that direction) and pointed at the door, so I went to walk in and she stopped me, and clarified that there's a no soliciting sign. Okay, no worries. So I asked if I could ask her a few questions on a different note, and she said no! Run people off with the tude. Why don't you. I had to reiterate that I was attempting to be a customer for her attitude to change. However, I don't want to give my money to people with no respect or social skills.

Excellent, careful and thoughtful in taking care of pets. Our 12 year old dog had been reluctant to be groomed at other places we had tried, but ever since CG&S has been taking care of her, there is no anxiety and she gladly walks into the shop. All interactions are professional and on time. It is no surprise they are highly booked.

Our pup Luna looooves this place so much, and we do too! We are too far away for it to be a convenient daycare location, but this is our go-to boarding location as it's conveniently located on the way out of town. We always book a grooming for the end of Luna's stay, and she always comes back to us smelling good, feeling soft, and clean! The ladies working here are really kind and accommodating - sometimes, our flights are delayed coming back, and they never mind keeping her for an extra day. Thank you for taking care of our little crazy hyena!!! Attached photos of Luna right after her pre-Xmas stay - she fell asleep on the way home smiling :-)

When I got my dog back he seemed happy as if he had a good time we will use this place again. Great job!

The team at creatures great and small has exceeded all of my expectations. My dog Mowgli is extremely anxious and is very picky about who he spends his time with. We were not able to board him for the last 6 years due to his behavior but they have made him enjoy being there. I can’t thank them enough for all they have done for mowgli and our family and allowing us to go on vacation again!!!

Every one at Creatures Great and Small takes such wonderful care of my dog Lil Bit. Each and every one have smiles on their faces when they come out to get him which makes me happy. They definitely have to love what they're doing and I am very grateful to all of them!!!
