She answered all of my questions. I have so much comfort leaving my pup for a few days knowing he will be well taken care of. The communication was great as well as the follow up to my questions. Greatly appreciate it. Also we do classes here as well for training and it's been great to come and learn new things with my pup, bond with him and work on basic concepts for me and my pup to thrive and work on together. They have so much to offer and we've only scratched the surface so hopefully we ll learn more like their pool training soon in the near future.

I was a loyal customer for many years. However, someone tried to gain access to my computer without…read moremy permission. I brought it up to the staff and, instead of accepting that I was pursuing criminal investigation after being a victim of stalking, they began interrogating me and asking impertinent questions. Most of the walkers were extremely kind and helpful to my dogs. I hope they go to a better run business. The owner is very nosy and made numerous uncomfortable comments about my personal life over the years. I tried to brush it off because she was kind and good to my dogs. I am very saddened by these events and hope the other walkers I had good experiences with go elsewhere. Edit: I honestly am relieved not to be using these services anymore. I was already comparison shopping because they raise prices with no notice, but I was staying loyal to a company that treated my dogs well. I only became "hostile" when I started getting interrogated. No one asked a bunch of nosy dog walkers to be Nancy Drew. Michelle also cut my dog Vincent's whiskers multiple times after I repeatedly told her not to. She has consistently misgendered me every single time I've seen her in person in the last 5 years (I'm a transgender man). I'm honestly surprised she remembered my pronouns long enough to reply accurately to this review. Not LGBTQ+ affirming, though most of the staff are. Her most recent walker Heidi left dog pooped covered cloths for me to me to deal with after she didn't see the paper towels in clear view in my kitchen.

His feces were being trapped every-time he pooped and now he is left with a huge abscess on his butt and is in pain. There is no way that staff didn't notice this. I can't imagine how many days he was suffering there. You even have to pay extra for them to have outside time, but don't expect basic care included. If this was being blatantly ignored, what else do they neglect? Do our dogs actually get fed when they should? Do they actually get taken out for the bathroom when they should? Completely unacceptable. I will warn everybody I know about this place.

I do not recommend this organization based on my recent experience. On July 17, 2026, I brought my…read moredog Hux in for a scheduled evaluation--an appointment that had been set for over a month. I dropped him off at 8:15 AM and checked on him at 10:00 AM, only to learn he had not even been evaluated. Later, at around 1:00 PM, I received a call stating that he likely would not be seen at all due to the staff being too busy. This lack of respect for my time and my pet's well-being is unacceptable. While I understand that organizations can be busy, it is irresponsible to schedule appointments that cannot be honored. If you are unable to give new clients the proper attention, it would be more honest to stop accepting them rather than wasting our time and causing unnecessary stress. Overall, I was left deeply disappointed and cannot recommend this place to others.

Beware of facilities that won't let you take a look around or tour the facility. Hailey told me…read moretoday that I couldn't come for a visit because their insurance wouldn't allow for it. Then have new clients sign a waiver and let them look around. She suggested instead that I look at the pictures of their facility online. That never shows you if the facility is kept clean, organized, or if the pets are well-attended to. You know what does? A visit. What kind of responsible pet parent would just drop them off at place sight unseen? Ridiculous.

We are extremely picky about where we board our dogs; a very old cocker spaniel on medication and…read morean anxiety prone terrier mix. Prior to moving to Williamsburg, we drove our dogs to a boarder that was almost an hour away because we knew they were good to our pets. Once in Williamsburg, we visited most of the dog boarding providers, and decided giving Paws a try. We have left our dogs there several times over the last couple of years. While we still feel anxious boarding them, our dogs are always happy and in very good shape. They do not have any stress when we take them there, which is a good sign. Additionally, our dogs and their bedding return to us without the smell that often results from boarding. I cannot recommend them enough! We can enjoy our trips knowing our little ones are in good hands.

This was my first and last time boarding at Paws Pet Resort. My two dogs were boarded this past…read moreweekend for 5 total nights. Upon pickup I was informed that one of my dogs had a spot on the top of her head that was bleeding a little bit, which was not super out of the ordinary. The staff let me know that she thought it was "old lady spots," and that she cleaned it up and put some cream on it. I didn't think too much of it and took my dogs home. Later in the day I realized that she was actually covered in small wounds on the top of her head and three large wounds along the back of her neck. Brought her into my vets office and they confirmed it looks as though she got her head stuck under a chain link fence and tore up her head and neck. It greatly concerns me that no one was around to notice this or even bring it to my attention. I called this morning to inquire about anything additional that may have happened and they told me they had no idea. I feel terrible for letting my dog stay here when she already tends to be slow to warm to new environments. Please beware of this kennel. I have brought my dogs to several kennels over the years since we are a military family and never had anything like this occur.

Dr. Garmin sat on the floor to play with my doggo to make him comfy with her. I also wanted to mention cause I saw some not great reviews regarding pricing. They told me they would charge me $25 for his senior well visit and the stitch removal was going to be complimentary over the phone. When I went to get charged they were going to charge me for both the visit and the removal but I brought up the phone conversation and they honored it without even checking with the staff who I spoke to. I really appreciated that. I thought that was an amazing price for both services and I appreciated how they handled the miscommunication. Great customer service!

When I called the woman who answers the phone in the office - the same one I told at the start of the year to remove me from contact, she blamed it on the boarding care side of the business. But it WASN'T, because the voicemail that I received was from the office for a follow up checkup - where he'd never been once in his life. They also emailed the same with the title of "we can't wait to see XXX again". I can't tell you what sort of grief this has caused me and no one apologized to me when I called to ask AGAIN for them not to contact me - not going back there. If they contact me again for my deceased beloved pet, I'm filing a complaint - not kidding about this.

Chase was dying from cancer and needed a special touch of love and care that boarding couldn't offer. I asked my vet at Jolly Pond for suggestions, and she highly recommended Susan and her staff. After meeting Susan and seeing her interact with my sweet boy, I knew I could leave confident that Chase was in the best possible care. That was only confirmed upon my return. If that wasn't enough, Susan made it a point to call me after Chase passed away to offer the most sincere condolences and sympathies. The staff at Bubble Buddies don't just run the routine of pet care, they really care about the pet and family too. They always go above and beyond. Now, two years later, I am happy to say I still use Bubble Buddies to help care for my 16mo. old Boxer mix, Harley Quinn. Anytime my work schedule or traffic has cause me to run late getting home to her, or I needed to leave town for work or family reasons, Susan has always taken my call and come to our rescue to ensure Harley was well tended to until I could get home. I really don't know what I would do without Bubble Buddies!!!
