My two high energy Australian Shepherds stayed with A Barking Good Time, LLC for a week and a half…read morein May. The daily updates and pictures assured us that our dogs were having just as much fun as we were on their own vacation so we didn't have to feel guilty about having to leave them. Our dogs were extremely well cared for and had a great time. I could tell that they were torn about leaving to come back home since they had bonded so well with Krystyna, her husband, and their two dogs. I'll definitely use A Barking Good Time, LLC again in the future!

The vet was checking her out and discovered a bleeding puncture wound on her back (picture is after being cleaned by vet). I contacted Dashing Dogs to find out why/how it happened. They had no idea. The people working said they didn't see or hear anything while she was there indicating the dogs were not being watched as promised. While they did say they were sorry it happened, they accepted no responsibility. I am just posting this is a word of caution. There is no screening process for deciding if dogs are aggressive and should be with the other dogs. I would be careful leaving your dog there!

I was very fortunate to…read morehave discovered the doggie daycare / boarding facility " Hounds Town" Now, that I had retired and re located to Chesapeake, VA we quickly realized that if we were to go on long trips, we would need to find a place for our dogs to stay. We are so grateful to have discovered that a new Hounds Town located in Newport News, VA. It's just short of an hours drive for us but we wouldn't trust just anyone to care for our furry children. All of the dogs staying at Hounds Town are generally separated by size and are in large open pens where they socialize and play. They have smaller private rooms for feeding and for overnight stays. My oldest dog is 12 years old and has started showing the early stages of arthritis. The owner of Hounds Town of Newport News, Dave, was so compassionate and had a nice sized throw rug placed in his room to assist my dog in getting up after laying down. My dogs love coming here to play with the other dogs. The groomers here clipped their nails and washed and dried them before when arrived to pick them up. It's a common for pets that do stay here often sleep at home restfully , what has become known as " The Hounds Town Coma". The staff here go above and beyond to make sure that your pet is well taken cared for be it for daycare or several overnight stays.

We feel secure knowing Oliver is safe and happy when he's with them.
