Pet Sitters in Wiley, VA

UPDATING Review: I felt that I needed to update my review after experiencing other doggy daycare options. I started bringing my dog here when he was a pup and he loved the smaller groups. I also was happy and comfortable knowing exactly who would be around my dog all day and knowing that they were being watched 100% of the time. I also boarded my dog with The Backyard Pack and was confident that he was being well cared for. Last year, before the pandemic hit, I added another dog to the family. She is a lot more strong willed then my older pup but she did very well at doggy daycare. Both dogs would come home exhausted and happy. Pandemic world, dogs stopped going to daycare for several months because both myself and my husband were home. When I began to go back to the office, we took advantage of another day care because they were offering 50% off their regular pricing and a neighbor that has a dog my pups love playing with, took their pup there as well. We did not take them often since we were still home a lot but it was great when we did because the 3 dogs could play together all day and would all come home completely tired out. By utilizing the other daycare service, we came to truly appreciate the Backyard Pack. With the other facility, my dogs got sick several times and my youngest was bit on 2 occasions, one being bad enough to cause an infection that required antibiotics. The Backyard pack is cleaned thoroughly and I had never previously experienced my dogs coming home sick. In addition to that, we had to board them and did so with the other facility(before the biting incidents). When we picked the pups up, we discovered that they had only been feed 50% of their meals. I would not chose to board my dogs anywhere else again. I can not say enough how much I appreciate knowing that my dogs will not be forgotten at The Backyard Pack when they are boarded this summer. My older dog also needs shots now and I know that I do not have to worry about this with Laurie and Brian. I would recommend The Backyard Pack over any other daycare if it is important to you that your dog is with people that truly care about your animal. My pups are both back in the Pack and they love this spot and the owners!

We started taking our American Staffy mix to the Backyard Pack because it was conveniently located just a few miles from work (and due to co-worker recommendations!). We have both moved on to new jobs, in the complete opposite direction of Backyard Pack, but still take our dog once every week or two. The staff is amazing, our dog comes home nice and tired, and we never have to worry about him while he's there. If we were closer, he'd go much more often. An extra perk is that Laurie (owner) is also a photographer so she can schedule Christmas, Valentines, engagement pictures while your dog is at daycare for the day. We love Backyard Pack! Just wish we were a little closer :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE The Backyard Pack! My Lab Blitz has been going to doggy daycare there for the past year. I couldn't be happier because he socializes with other dogs and is able to burn his energy during the day. Operating hours are perfect for me to drop off before work and pick up after. Laurie and Brian are wonderful with all the dogs and very experienced. Laurie is always giving advice with my pup! Highly recommend!!!!

My pup Bailey always gets so excited when we open the door to go in. I like knowing she’s in good hands and having fun with other dogs when I’m at work. I would definitely recommend Backyard Pack to anyone looking for a doggy daycare.

We have been boarding our dog at the Backyard Pack for about a year and have been very happy! Our sweet dog has traditionally not enjoyed daycare or boarding, but has no problem walking right in to play here! The dogs get individual walks, which is perfect for dogs who need a bit of reprieve from the chaos of daycare, and Laurie also has lots of advice, especially about nutrition.

We are sooooooooo in love with The Backyard Pack! Our dog absolutely loves going! We have used them for both daycare and boarding and can not say enough great things about them! We refer them to every dog owner we know because they are just wonderful people and a wonderful place. The owners have helped us understand our dog more and better meet his needs. We have asked their advice on numerous occasions about dog products and dog care and they are very knowledgeable and helpful! We are always at ease when we have to leave our dog because we know he is well taken care of and having fun, which is a tremendous relief to have found such an AMAZING place! We LOVE The Backyard Pack wholeheartedly and highly recommend them for anyone searching for a dog daycare/boarding!

After moving back to the area after living in another state for a few years, we spent a good amount of time looking for an open boarding and daycare facility for our two rescue pit bulls. Our dogs interviewed at other facilities that seemed fine but as soon as we came to The Backyard Pack, it was obvious that this was the perfect fit for us. One of our dogs is very high energy and can suffer from anxiety and our other dog is very fearful. Laurie picked up on these behaviors immediately and worked throughout their first boarding experience to help them feel comfortable and start overcoming these behaviors. When I picked them up from their first boarding stay, Laurie took the time to explain how she worked with my dogs and recommended ways that I can continue to work with them at home. I am so impressed by the care provided to my dogs and appreciate the time that was taken to not only make my dogs comfortably fit into the pack but also to help me to facilitate positive behaviors in my dogs. This is a wonderful place to bring your dogs for daycare/boarding and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a facility that you can trust to take care of your dogs like you would at home.

The Backyard Pack is an AMAZING Doggy Daycare! We have been bringing our dog, Lola, there for the past 5 months for both daycare and overnight boarding. We could not be happier with our experiences there. The owners are amazing trainers and we have learned so much about how to correct Lola's behavior. They are always willing to give us advice and ways that we can help her understand what is good behavior. We also love the concept of the open daycare, no kennels, simulated apartment that they use!

My dog loves the Backyard Pack!! Laurie and Brian provide a great home away from home for my collie. They willingly answer questions about pet care, food, toys, behavior, etc., and they're very knowledgeable. Both daycare and boarding are reasonably priced. It's a great place!

Affordable and convenient doggy daycare- my dog attends 1-2x week and they still notice when he is more active than usual or got a new collar. They have discounted services when I have foster dogs, and they post videos of the dogs playing. Dogs come home tired and happy, so it's a good value for the owner's sanity. Once your dog is an approved member, you can drop them off any day of the work week without notice, which is great for flexible schedules. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommend! I have been using Fetch! for nearly eight years, and I have always been happy with their service. It is very convenient to schedule services, and the team is very responsive. Tracey, our regular sitter, does an excellent job taking care of the cat, and I always know she is well taken care of. I get updates and pictures every day. I appreciate all how easy and seamless Fetch! makes pet setting, and I definitely recommend!

We've had three walkers through the years with Fetch and they have all been excellent. We have trusted these people with the daily aspects of looking after our dog when we are at work or on travel, but the additional source of care and affection in his life these people have provided is unmatched by any other service. We are incredibly grateful for Fetch!

New ownership has made all the difference in the world! Communication has been excellent, Fetch was able to ensure that all of the days of service I needed were covered, and our pet sitter, Emile, is fantastic. Both Emile and Jay reached out to let me know the power was out after a storm. I really appreciated that. Can't say enough good things about Fetch! A+++

I had an amazing experience with Fetch! They took amazing care of my cat Tucker. I was gone for about two and a half weeks, and came home to a very happy and calm cat, a clean litter box, and a clean apartment. The sitters were responsive, punctual, and kept up with the routine I laid out for them. They also wrote detailed visit descriptions and took lots of photos that really eased my mind, as I could tell that Tucker was being taken care of properly. Also, when I ran out of litter while I was gone, a sitter was able to pick some up for me, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend this pet sitting service, and especially Abby and Theresa, who were the two sitters looking after Tucker!

Service is really good from pet handlers. My pet handlers have each told me they are not paid well and for the money I and others pay to use this service, more money should go to the hands of the workers instead of upper management who are not involved in the ground and don’t even live in the state. Have pulled out of services and will recommend others who use this service to do the same.

Fetch! has always been a fantastic pet walking service for our high-energy pup! Tucker loves all of the walkers who come to hang out with him. We've used Fetch! for years for mid-day walks while we're at the office. Scheduling is easy and everyone is so helpful.

The coordinator never sent out my care request. Now I am scrambling to try to find other options during this holiday rush. Even after being matched with a sitter, the services provided were basic and pales in comparison to other sitters in the area.

Thank you! We love providing care and look forward to the next opportunity.

Thank you! We appreciate your trust and business.

Tanis took care of our cat Zoey - she did a great job! She would send me pictures and provide updates every evening, so I knew Zoey was doing well. I felt comfortable knowing Tanis was there and it put my mind at ease. I will definitely use her again in the future. Also, Zoey always hides when a stranger comes to visit, but she came out when Tanis came by - which she NEVER does, so that says a lot!

Tanis visited my two senior dogs for over a year, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate person to care for their beloved pets. She helped my pups through multiple health issues, protected them on walks in my neighborhood where it's unfortunately fairly common to encounter off-leash and/or aggressive dogs, and she always showed up no matter what was happening (even in a snowstorm when everything was shutdown but I still had to work). It takes a lot for me to trust someone with my precious fur babies, and I never had to worry when they were in her care, which is saying a whole lot. Thanks so much, Tanis/The Content Pet!! :)

The care our pets received while we were away was phenomenal! The consultation before we left was easy to schedule and Tanis was very attentive to the details. Our pets also immediately took to her even though they had never met her which was a great sign. She is clearly an animal lover! Tanis was reachable and gave us updates periodically on how our pets were doing while we were away. We didn’t have any concerns and were very pleased with the service The Content Pet business provided. Would call on them again for any pet sitting services and highly recommend this company to anyone!

Tanis, the owner, is great! I feel confident leaving my dog knowing he is always treated with great care and love. I also appreciate my dog getting picked up and dropped off at our house!

Tanis is the absolute best! She was able to board my Maggi at the last minute, and I know Maggi had the best weekend with her. From the multiple walks to the endless belly rubs to her two dogs providing a loving and warm environment that Maggi really truly enjoyed, I will definitely ask Tanis to board my Maggi again in the future! Thank you Tanis for taking such excellent care of my Maggi! I also must say how incredibly well she takes care of my Maggi during their midday walks. Maggi is so excited to see her and spend time with her. Thank you, Tanis!!

Tania at The Content Pet is wonderful! She always accommodates my requests even when they are often short notice. Takes great care of my two kitties and gives me comfort knowing they're in the best of care when mom's away.

Tanis cares for our 4 legged family as if they were her own. She cares! If we are away and she is taking care of them, she always sends me texts with updates and pictures. I can travel comfortably knowing Tanis is there!

The Content Pet service was outstanding! My dogs seemed happy when we came home. The owner, Tanis, made me feel like our dogs were treated with love. I can tell that she's very passionate about animals and really cared for them. That's why I recommend this pet service. I definitely will use her services again. I think they're one of the best pet services in the Northern Virginia area.

Tanis is a true dog lover! You know that your dog is in great hands and loved when he/she is in her care. She picks up and drops off your dog which is extremely convenient!!!! Our dog immediately jumps in her car and is always excited to stay with her! Additionally, her prices are extremely reasonable! We are so lucky to have found her!!

Tanis runs a wonderful business. She is great with my dog, he absolutely loves her. She is reliable, dependable, responsive, and professional. Would highly recommend for all of your pet sitting and boarding needs!

Alex is the best doggie trainer and he treats my dog like family. I wanted to get her trained up as a puppy and he learned her mannerisms to understand her trouble areas. He offers group walk training in local neighborhoods or more crowded areas to help dogs get accustomed to noises people and other dogs. He also does one on one training and has helped watch my dog when I was on work trip. He's so good with her and he has his own dog, which is her new bestie.

Alex is fantastic with dogs. I have a German Shepard and Collie mix. My German Shepard had a bad habit of jumping on people and Alex was able to stop that behavior. He was very good in handling both my dogs. My Shepard has been with Alex since he was a pup and he’s very good with people and when he goes on his walks with other dogs. I highly recommend Commonwealth Pet Care for your training. Thanks Alex for all you do👍 Anne Marie Smith.

This is the long overdue review for Alex. I have been struggling with the reactivity of my three pomeranians for a long time. I had tried group classes, private lessons, and online resources, but I didn't see any significant changes. When I contacted Alex, he invited me to join the group walk where my girls could get exposure to other dogs and strangers. The group walk provides a controlled environment where they can learn appropriate behaviors and build their confidence. Alex is there to correct the inappropriate behaviors of dogs and educate us on how we can improve things. His method works, and I am already seeing improvements. The girls are not perfect yet, but they are on the right track. P.S. Not only Alex, but also the group is wonderful. They are very kind and understanding. Thank you everyone for being so nice to the girls.

If you are in search of a professional dog training service, we recommend Commonwealth Pet Care, LLC. Under the expert guidance of owner Alex Bonilla, our two-year-old Labrador Retriever, Charlie, has made significant progress. Charlie attends doggie daycare during the week, allowing him to socialize, but his excitement and unaltered status have led to some challenges, particularly with larger breeds. To manage and control his excitement, we reached out to Alex for assistance. From the beginning, Alex demonstrated a genuine care for Charlie, employing a calm and composed training style that is both effective and reassuring. His ability to connect with dogs is incredible, and it’s clear that he possesses an innate talent for training. With Alex's support, we have seen encouraging improvements in Charlie's behavior, making our experience with Commonwealth Pet Care truly invaluable. We highly recommend their services to any pet owner looking to enhance their dog's training and behavior.

I can’t recommend Commonwealth Pet Care enough! I’ve worked with Alex over the past several months training my puppy, Willow. He is patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. He provides immediate feedback and demonstrates what to do to properly train a dog. He also provides written instructions to reference when I’m training her. Willow has made immense progress on her areas of concern and has mastered basic commands. We have attended group walk and train sessions as well which are wonderful for socializing her as well. I highly recommend Commonwealth Pet Care.

We've been working with Alex for going on 2 years this fall. He is a wonderful trainer and really works with you to help focus on areas of concern. We started when our dog was a puppy and she naturallt has a very nervous temperament and Alex has really helped us get her socialized well so that she is great around other people and she's getting ok around other dogs. We'll keep up the training with him until her confidence with other dogs is really built up. You can tell he really cares about the dogs he works with. We have also used him for boarding and had a good experience. Definitely highly recommend!!

Alex has been great with both of our dogs! He both trains and boards our dogs. He has been fantastic with our 1-year-old rambunctious big puppy in getting behavioral skills and basic training, as well as our anxious and high-need 14-year-old small dog. He is patient, communicative, and easy to work with. We are grateful we have found him!

Alex helped us with our fearful foster pup Josie in the Fall of 2022. He gave us practical and useful documentation so that we could gain the skills to help Josie succeed. We met with Alex at least once a week for several months for hands-on training, which helped Josie become more accepting of new surroundings and people. With Alex’s assistance Josie’s fears decreased and she was able to be adopted by a wonderful and patient family that vowed to continue her training. Josie is thriving today thanks to Alex’s training.

We came to Commonwealth Pet Care from a recommendation from our vet. Our pup Stella was extremely fearful of people and other dogs and we were afraid this fear would lead to aggression. From the first “meet and greet” with Alex we knew we had found a great trainer for Stella. Alex was extremely professional and knowledgeable from the beginning. He identified Stella’s needs right away. Alex worked around our schedule and was very accommodating. Through Alex’s classical conditioning techniques Stella has become a confident and secure pup who loves to meet new people and other dogs. We have seen such a huge improvement in her behavior in such a short amount of time. We strongly recommend Alex to anyone looking for an experienced, compassionate and kind trainer. We will not hesitate to use Alex again in the future.

Alex is INCREDIBLE! He’s been working with us and our puppy Roxy for a few months and we can see a drastic improvement in our rambunctious dogs behavior. One thing I really appreciate about Alex is that you can tell he genuinely really loves and cares for each of the dogs he trains. He’s extremely personable and we like his method of training (positive reinforcement). His dog Apache has also been such a positive influence for Roxy and has helped her learn how to play appropriately and control her puppy biting. He’s also helped us connect with other new dog owners in the area to coordinate walks and puppy play dates (which has been difficult due to COVID). He’ll reach out to my husband and I during the week to check on Roxy’s progress and is easy to reach if we have questions. Alex is amazing and you’re doing yourself and your dog a disservice if you don’t use him to train you dog!

I have been using Becky’s Pet Care since 2021 and could not be more grateful for the care that has been shown to our cat, Spock. Carl has been the person mostly taking care of him all these years and he’s wonderful! I am never worried about whether Spock will be fed, or litter taken care of. Becky’s Pet Care is easy to schedule, and if you need to cancel, very easy to do so as well. Highly recommend!

This place is the best! After Alexandria Pet Care cancelled a dog walking/pet visit while I was away, Becky’s came through. The walkers loved the dogs - and while my son was there recovering from surgery - you could tell they were real dog people. There were four dogs of various temperaments and Becky’s staff shined!!

I have used this service periodically for the past two years. I simply would not entrust the care of my kitties to any other service. I really value the care given by Becky's Pet Care and highly recommend them.

Working with Becky's Pet Care has been a great experience. The company is upfront with policies, cost, and caretaker training. The couple times I have needed to contact the company with questions, I have received quick responses. Scheduling mid-day walks from the client portal is really straightforward. Elaine has been great with my dog who takes a while to warm up to strangers; she's been calmly working on building up his trust week after week. It's a huge relief to see the post-visit journal updates on how each visit went while I'm still at work.

Becky's cares for our two dogs and three cats when we are away. Their dedication, care, and attention to detail are phenomenal. I can't say enough what a wonderful job they do, and most importantly, the dogs and cats all love the care takers.

We love Becky’s Pet care for its fast and efficient site, allowing us to elect services at any time, and more importantly for the reliability and love their staff has given to my cats for the past 6+ years. They go above and beyond, bringing in mail and packages, sending personalized, detailed notes and photos, and alerting me to any concerns. Grateful we found them!

I really depend on Becky's Pet Care for my dog Beau. He enjoys great walkers like Ned & Michael. They always provide a wonderful service with daily visits. They are the best! Tracy S.

We have been using Becky's Pet Care for several years to take care of our cat when we travel. They take excellent care of our cat and we really appreciate the e-mail message after each visit that lets us know how he is doing including pictures. It makes out trips much more enjoyable to know he is being well cared for.

My young kitten is in great hands with Becky’s. While I’m feeling a smidgen of guilt for taking two days away, I love reading his pet journal and seeing the pics.

I've been a client of the company for almost a decade now, uses service when I've been unable to find friend or family to assist. I booked a service on 6/6 for the July 4th holiday weekend. Three weeks later on 6/25 (1 week before a major holiday) I received an automated email that services are unavailable. After a follow up email asking why this was canceled, it was stated that they work on a first-come first-serve basis and apologize for the inconvenience. That's perfectly fine and understandable, however it should be coordinated before booking the service, not 3 weeks after, and 1 week before a major holiday is completely unacceptable. If I can't rely on the service I request, then I can't use the service, it's that simple. I could have been looking for alternate solutions for the past 3-weeks instead of scrambling at the end.

The staff is so friendly. I can tell the staff enjoys working there which in turn transfers to how well they take care of my pup. They are wonderful and my dog, Lilly, loves going to daycare. She is excited when I drop her off and tired when I pick her up (which is a good thing). They are diligent in ensuring the safety of the pups by enforcing the appropriate handler to dog ratio and ensuring vaccines are up to date. I highly recommend The Dog Eaze Inn for daycare. 10 Stars!

I cannot recommend Dog Eaze Inn highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease knowing my little dog was in such caring and professional hands. The staff is incredibly welcoming and genuinely loves animals, which shows in every interaction. The facility is spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with dogs' comfort and safety in mind. My pup especially enjoyed the supervised playtime with other dogs—it's clear that the team takes great care in matching pets with compatible playmates. What stood out the most was the personalized attention my dog received. The staff made sure to follow his feeding schedule and provided plenty of cuddles and TLC, which is so important for a smaller, more sensitive pup like mine. I also loved the updates I received while my dog was there. The photos and notes about his activities put my mind at ease and reassured me that he was having the best time. Dog Eaze Inn truly goes above and beyond to make both pets and their owners feel cared for. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving place for your dog, this is it. My little guy always comes home happy and tired from all the fun. Thank you, Dog Eaze Inn!

My dog is reactive and shy, but let me tell you... this place did a wonderful job working with my dog, Flaco, and getting him to not only open up but socialize with more than one person. They always take great care of him, and they were even able to give him a bath! Which is unheard of for my dog. I'd never thought it would be possible for him to even make friends, but I am grateful I found Dog Eaze Inn to not only treat my dog with love and care but to also have him open up. Thank you!!!!

Lola always loves staying at the Dog Eaze Inn. They always fuss all over her and make her feel loved & special! We love them! This last time her tail was wagging so hard when she saw where we were arriving to when we dropped her off! She couldn’t wait to see all her friends there (and meet lots of new ones!!!). When we picked her up, while she was happy to see us, she definitely was sad to go! Thanks, as always, to the staff there for taking such good care of our girl!

Dog Eaze Inn seems understaffed and unorganized. I have attempted to make boarding reservations on a couple occasions and reaching an employee was challenging. I had to play phone tag several times before reaching someone that could assist. I had scheduled a tour of the facility prior to finalizing reservations and was provided a time, only to show up and be told they didn’t have the staff available to accommodate the time they scheduled. There’s too many red flags regarding this business for me to entrust them with boarding my dog when they don’t seem capable of managing schedules or appropriately staffing enough personnel to assist customers and attend to the pets in their care. UPDATED REPLY(11/22/2024): Thank you for the explanation and I do understand the issue with limited personnel. Unfortunately, I believe that contributed to the communication problems as I tried to call to cancel my initial tour but there wasn’t an actual person to receive my call prior to your cut off time for tours. I called to reschedule at 3pm the next day. I was advised by your receptionist to arrive prior to 4:45pm. I explained I was on my way and arrived at 4:10pm, whereby she explained she could not accommodate me after telling me different just an hour ago. After driving an hour in traffic and then told otherwise is unacceptable. Also, I appreciate the booking information and completely understand being full, but my issue again is that prompt communication could have resolved the situation more amicably. If a situation were to occur whereby I needed to relay time sensitive information during boarding or daycare, I lack confidence in a timely response due to the communication shortfalls.

Nikko looked happy when we picked him up after 3 days and 3 nights. He seemed to have had a pleasant stay. The staff are very nice and caring.

I would personally stay there...lol...think I'd fit in a crate? I found everything very clean and different packages for boarding to meet your needs. We went with the middle one and when we picked our girl up, she was clean and happy. The Staff is totally awesome and even washed the containers we sent with Tootsie's food. I totally give them 5 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 and we will be back...Thank You! Tootsie is with our new rescue we adopted, so you'll get to meet her too!

The Dog Eaze does fantastic with handling reactive dogs. My dog does not play well with other dogs but every time I've boarded him here he was kept in his own private area to play and room to sleep. They make pick up and drop off safe for him by requesting visitors do not bring their dog into the office while other dogs are in there. He has also had many appointments for grooming and they have always been so quick and caring and I personally think the prices for this service for a Large Standard Poodle are very reasonable. We are moving away soon and I will miss having Dog Eaze just down the road. Thank you for all the love and care you have given to my dog throughout the years. I am so thankful for all of the employees who played, bathed, gave tuck ins, fed, and cuddled him while I was away.

I boarded my black Labrador at the Dog Eaze Inn for three nights. He was very calm when I picked him up. He ate his dry food and chewable Cosequin pill every night. I highly recommend The Dog Eaze Inn.

As always, great service. Staff is courteous and friendly and take great care of my dog. Highly recommend to board. Trimmed dog’s nails while there. Not much more to say except really great place.

I highly recommend Sampson Smiles for pet sitting! We have worked with Diana for many years to care for our two cats. She has a true talent for reading animals and meeting their needs. Our cats probably prefer her over us! Diana is responsive, reliable, and trustworthy. We are so fortunate to have her as our pet sitter because she gives us peace of mind when we are out of town and we know our cats and house are in safe hands with her.

We have been so blown away by the incredible service and professionalism shown by Diana! We have 150% confidence in her and feel so comfortable knowing that our pets are well cared for while we are gone. She even sent pictures and notes while we were gone to let us know all was ok. We would absolutely recommend her services. Thank you so much Diana!

Diana is amazing! She takes care of our furry family members (regular walks for our large breed pup and occasional house sitting for said pup and her kitty friend) as if they were her own. You can see that Diana genuinely cares for animals and is always willing to go the extra mile to provide service. I can not recommend Sampson Smiles enough!

Diana provided pet sitting services for our cats while we were away on vacation. She did a great job, sending us regular updates that gave us peace of mind about the well-being of our pets. We felt very confident entrusting their care to Diana, and we would highly recommend the service!

We had a great experience with Diana! My dog was very well taken care of during her first overnight without her family. Loved getting the updates on how she was doing as she has some anxiety which always makes us nervous to leave her. I would highly recommend Sampson Smiles Pet Care and will be using Diana again!

Sampson Smiles gives me total peace of mind my dogs are being cared for exactly as I want. Diana is as dependable as the sunrise and always puts the dogs first. She has cared for my Dobermans in sickness and in health, for daily letouts during the workweek and longer vacation times. She has cared for the tough to handle personalities, the I want my Mom personalities, and everyone in between. Diana is the real deal - total peace of mind....priceless.

Diana was great. Our cat is scared and skittish around strangers, and Diana has plenty of ways to play and engage with those types of pets. Diana is incredibly reliable and the notes she provided for each visit offered additional reassurance that our cat was well taken care of while we were away.

We couldn't be happier with Sampson Smiles Pet Care. Diana and her team do a tremendous job communicating with clients and taking care of our furry family members. I wouldn't hesitate to leave our senior pup in Diana's care.

My husband and I recommend Sampson Smiles Pet Care to those we love most. The service is always outstanding and reliable. We feel very fortunate to have someone to watch our home and our pets while we're away. We trust Diana Dowd with everything and she always delivers excellence. It is SO hard to find this type of dedication.

Diana is fantastic. She took the time to get to know my anxious and shy dog and make her feel very comfortable with meeting a new person. I would recommend Sampson Smiles to all my friends and family.

We have been using All Breeds for many years now and they are fantastic. David abs Eric are amazing with our girl and take great care of her! They send detailed reports after each walk and pics, which make my day! We highly recommend them, if you've been looking for a reliable dog/pet sitter you have found them! I can't say enough great things about them and the company!

Eric and Owen have been giving my boys mid-day breaks for a few months. I always get reports about how the visits go and what they did with the boys. They also bring in my too frequent packages from the porch. My job and life seem a bit chaotic at times, but Eric always finds a way to accommodate my crazy schedule, even last minute changes. And this great service comes at very reasonable rates. I highly recommend All Breeds Dog Walking!!

We absolutely love All Breeds! We have received nothing but excellent service! Our fur baby loves all the walkers (David, Eric, and Owen). He gets so excited when the doorbell rings (and disappointed if it's not them :) Highly recommend

This business is just amazing! They take great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats every time we travel!! Eric is excelent. Him and his team really do take care of our babies as if they were theirs!! He is reliable, he gives plenty of comunication and updates. Could not recomend more!!!

Dave is remarkable and provides incredible care for my dog. He has even helped my pup become more confident and comfortable on walks. They are reliable, and send me reports after every walk. I can’t recommend this group enough if you’re looking for someone to help you when you’re gone for a long time and need help.

Roxie is amazing! She is very detailed & makes sure my babies are always taken care of. They have amazing rates and no other dog walking service compares to them! Thank you for all you do.

We have been using All Breeds for several years now and they have never missed a beat. Our girls love Eric and David. They’re extremely responsive and always go the extra mile. I can’t see our family ever using another company.

Really can’t say enough about All Breeds. I was having such a difficult time finding a dog walker in our budget and one who was also flexible. My husband and I both work in customer service and our schedules tend to be all over the place. All Breeds allowed us the flexibility to switch days when needed, even if it was a last minute change, and have always done their best to come at the time we requested. Our dog has had three different walkers and each of them have been so amazing with our girl and you can tell they care very much about the pets!

We have been using All Breeds as both a dog walking service and a pet sitter for the past 2 years. I cannot say enough good things about this service. When we started with them we were just coming out of a bad experience with a different pet sitter and really needed to find another reliable company very quickly. All Breeds did not disappoint. They showed up to meet our little zoo, consisting of three cats and two dogs, the day after we called and started almost immediately. The dogs loved going on walks with Barbara and Maria. And when we traveled and used All Breeds to pet sit our cats, we always knew they were in good hands. The cats were happy, plants were watered, and the mail was brought in. Barbara and Maria always provided photos after each service which was a really nice personal touch. We are moving out of town and I sure hope we can find a company as good as All Breeds at our new location.

High recommendation! We enjoyed having Barbara take care of our 2 large dogs while we were away. Barbara made multiple visits ahead of the service dates in order to get acquainted and make sure both would be comfortable. We especially appreciate her knowledge of dog behavior, professionalism, friendly style and willingness to take on a challenge. Great service and excellent experience! We look forward to working together with All Breeds again in the future.

I drop my girl for dog daycare while I work on base since I live so far away. She's never done well at dog care or boarding since she favors people more than other dogs, but she loves it here. I don't know what magic they have on staff, but she is playful, energetic, and so happy whenever she visits. If you have a dog and work on base, this is a wonderful service.

Amazing care and attention to detail! Wonderful grooming with patient staff. Even received a lovely condolence card upon our pets passing- never before have I experienced such a sweet gesture and personal touch. Can not recommend more!!

Dog boarding in this area is expensive. They're reasonably priced, always answer the phone and take good care of my pups! They're my go-to boarding facility.

Our precious lil one loves it here. The staff are so loving and attentive.

Excellent grooming/boarding/daycare services. Clean, smells good seems like they are always cleaning lol I am always impressed with how clean this pet business is. Important to note they are open on weekends as many kennels in the area are not. Keep that in mind when booking :) They have a large waiting room, restroom, it is wheelchair accessible. I like the large windows in to where the dogs get groomed. Very smart and knowledgeable staff, even though it seems as if they are overwhelmed they all work very hard. Thank you for caring for Able and Airborne . We appreciate you.

Wonderful staff! I have two dogs. One is very high maintenance. They always do a wonderful job taking care of them. Grooming is wonderful as well. Competitively priced. And better availability than other places.

I picked my dog up today from her first stay at patriot pet care. She seemed happy and well taken care of. I received all the items back that I brought with her stay. The staff seemed kind and genuinely cared about my dog and her needs. They were easy to work with and I was able to get an update on my dog throughout the weekend. The building was clean and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this place again. Attached is a breakdown of the boarding cost.

Brought in our Chihuahua mix for a nail trim because he turns savage and panics when you get and do them. The ladies were amazing with him and helped calm him down and let me give him scritches while they did the hard work. Awesome staff. Great job. Well groomed puppy.

Great place for many pet requirements. Boarding was great, grooming was wonderful but the one on one dog traininng is top of the line. Beyond happy with the Patriot Pet Care services and staff. If you have any question where to do any of the above services and likely others, they are the place to go.

The staff and facility is great. The runs are indoor/outdoor which my pup appreciates quite a bit I'm sure. I recently recieved media updates with his last board and I can see that he really enjoys himself during his stay. We've boarded him at other places and he's come home a bit "off", like he'd just done a stint at county, but when we bring him home from here it's as if he'd stayed at a friend's house. This is always my first choice for boarding my boy.

Meet Meadow, she's a 6 month old German Shepherd! We have been very pleased with our training lessons with Meaghan at OTP-Springfield. We really appreciate her philosophy of understanding your dog's intrinsic nature, respecting that and working in such as way that brings harmony for human and dog. In one of the photos you can see a shoulder leash. Meaghan recommended after discussing my challenge of teaching a strong puppy not to pull. I appreciated the kinder approach. Meadow and I highly recommend Meaghan!

Took my 2 yr old boxer mix in for a swimming lesson after a friend recommended this location. He loved it. I loved it. Staff is great, prices are reasonable. We've already re-booked another session. Highly recommend.

We love Old Town Pet Resort! Our girls Eve and Belle are frequent customers and they have been most helpful. A great staff that is always friendly and helpful from Management to Day Camp and in between! Great trading by Megan Martin who has transformed a lil young mix breed rescue Belle into a proper princess (most of the time), and always works with our diva Eve. She has also started working on Grace, a mix we hope to adopt out soon! (Date 08/07/24)

We LOVE Olde Towne Pet Resort (Springfield). OTP is my pet’s home away from home and they treat her so so so well! I have 100% trust that they’ll take the best care of my cat while she’s in boarding. My cat is blind so she requires special accommodations she needs when boarding and the OTP family makes sure she gets what she needs during her stay and makes sure she is in an accessible set up. They even send pictures during her stay - which is so helpful to alleviate any stress in my mind while I’m away. Absolutely LOVE OTP and wish there were one in EVERY city!

Olde Towne Pet Resort has been my go to for grooming and boarding for my fur baby. They listen to my grooming needs for her. There was a day that she came back with a yellow stain on all of her paws. I think it was a topical they use to trim her nails and I thought that was strange. However, after mentioning that the first time, I haven’t seen that happen every time I’ve brought her back since. Grooming is weight based and breed/needs based. I have a 8-10lb Scottish fold and pay about $74. A little pricey but we don’t go often. Boarding is great and I love that we are able to video in to see her. I wish they would let her out a little more often but I understand they have many boarders at a time. They definitely take good care of her though and I see how patient the staff are with her. Also, they send photos of her to us every day during boarding which my husband and I truly appreciate.

After some less-than-stellar experiences with other pet hotels, our family decided to give this place a try and I’m really glad we did. The staff are exceptionally friendly and well-trained and our dog, Bowser, has always left this facility in a fairly good mood. The rooms that your pet stay in our specious and have webcams, so there’s zero guilt over leaving your furry friend here. The only small negative is that it does sometimes take a decent amount of time to check in and check out, but this can be mitigated if you arrive at non-peak hours. Really suggest you take your pet here for daycare and boarding if you can!

I am so grateful that we found Olde Towne Pet Resort. We relocated to the area for about 8 months and my two mini aussies loved it here. They went for daycare frequently and sometimes boarding and grooming. They loved all of the employees and were always tired when I picked them up. The groomer listened to exactly what we wanted and did an amazing job. When they stayed for boarding, I was happy I could view them on camera whenever I wanted to. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be trusting them with my boys.

This is my dogs’s favorite second home. For puppies or seasoned dogs, this is a great place for healthy interaction . He was trained here, all the staff is courteous to his needs, they day-camp feeds him his lunch that I prepare, and the staff is just kind and warm without hesitation. This is worth every dime and I breathe a sigh of relief that they will protect him, love him and treat him like in a love able way.

I recently visited Old Town Pet Resort for the first time to have my cat groomed, opting for the general grooming package. While the haircut was spot on and they followed my instructions perfectly, the overall experience was disappointing. It felt rushed, and they forgot to brush his fur, leaving bits of hair draft still in his coat. I don’t think they used any shampoo, and they missed trimming his nails. I also paid for a deep teeth cleaning, but that didn’t happen. Despite the good haircut, the rest of the service fell short.

We’ve been going to Olde Towne Springfield for a few years. Last year we started working with Megan, their in house trainer. Before having a baby, we wanted to make sure our dogs were fully trained and ready for the new family member. Megan created individualized plans for each dog and we started to work with her on a weekly basis and utilized the board & train option. Megan has been fantastic to work with, heard all of our needs, and helped get us as the owners more equipped to continue the training at home. Since that board & train, we’ve remained in touch with Megan to ask questions and get advice. Our dogs still get very excited to see her and highly recommend Megan as a trainer!!

Update: Natasha turned this around and she has been amazing! Thank you for taking care of Scooter! It gave me so much peace of mind seeing your updates and pics of him. Appreciate it so so much. And going the extra mile with some home needs that came up while I was out of town 🤩 At the moment giving 3 stars. In the past year or so they had been great. Good communication and took pictures of my dog while I was traveling for work. But this go around with my dog being older I have been trying to be proactive about his elderly needs and hadn’t heard back. I understand being busy as at my work we have been incredibly busy. I am hoping this works out and will update my review after vacation at the end of August.

Kate’s Pet Care is a model of professionalism and customer-service (for both animals and people). I know my pets are in great hands when we need overnight services, a feeding visit, or a walk. Kate’s always goes out of its way to accommodate our schedule and needs. Another bonus? I love supporting a woman-owned small business. Highly recommend.

Kate has watched our bunny for us a few times now. She is knowledgeable about buns and is able to cut his nails and give us tips regarding his care (as we are only second time bunny owners). She came to the house to meet Carrott prior to watching him, talk about the care we wanted, and introduce herself. She sent me updates while we were on vacation, including photos. He was happy and healthy when we returned. I would definitely recommend Kate's K9, including for bunny-sitting needs.

I'm admittedly really surprised given the good reviews for Kate's K9 Pet Care, but they were pretty unprofessional with me. After I replied to their initial email with a meet and greet date from the options they offered, I never heard back from them. This was despite a follow-up email and a phone call. Given that lack of responsiveness, I wouldn't trust placing my dogs in their "care". In addition, in their Pet Sitting contract, they state that if the sitter needs to cancel later than 24 hours prior to the owner's departure, the sitter can find a substitute for themselves without the owner's approval (and it doesn't stipulate anything about who that substitute can be). I was hoping to address this with them during the meet and greet, but given that it never happened, I thought I should make other prospective customers aware of that clause.

Kate’s K9 Pet Care is extremely reliable and we have been so happy with the care they give our pups! We have a nervous dog that warmed up to Kate and her staff very quickly. I highly recommend Kate’s!
